Chapter 458: Don’t enjoy the happiness, but endure the suffering

It was finished yesterday.

After Zhao Youfeng had a fight with Sha Zhu, he moved into the yard and became a part of it from then on.

Even though Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth in hatred, he could only stare blankly as Zhao Youfeng settled down next to his house.

Go to work the next day.

Liu Haizhong didn't see Zhao Youfeng coming out, and he was very happy, "See what if you're late?"

Thinking of Zhao Youfeng being scolded for being late, Liu Haizhong felt happy in his heart, so how could he possibly go to wake him up.

Little did he know that Zhao Youfeng was given two days off and did not have to get up early at all. After all, he had just gotten married and moved out of the factory dormitory, so he had a lot of things to do.

There are a lot of things to buy, such as food, coal, pots, pans, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. There are a lot of places to spend money.

Spending money is no big deal for Zhao Youfeng. He has lived in the steel mill dormitory for several years and has saved a lot of money and tickets. The main problem is the hassle and a lot of things to do.

This brings us to the benefits of living in a dormitory. You can eat and live in the factory, and you don’t have to buy daily necessities such as food, coal, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc.

When you open your eyes every day, you only need to deal with two things: work and eating and sleeping.

Apart from the lack of privacy and the strong smell, there are many benefits.

Steel rolling mill.

As soon as Li Kailang arrived at the transport team, the canteen director Zhao Gang came to him.

"Master Li, can I trouble you?"

"You said."

"It's like this, please drive our canteen to the countryside."

"Send it to the countryside? Did something happen in the cafeteria?"

"No, no, isn't it Director Yang who advocates saving food? I asked the canteen staff to go to the countryside to pick some wild vegetables and bring them back to make wild vegetable dumplings."

"Originally, Shazhu was supposed to bring some wild vegetables today. He said he didn't go to the countryside to dig them yesterday. Now the canteen doesn't have any wild vegetables, and it would take quite a while to go back and forth, so I thought I'd trouble Master Li to bring them here."

Hearing this, Li Kailang nodded: "So that's what happened. It's a small matter. You call someone and I'll take them over."

"Oh, sorry to bother you."

"It's no problem, we're all in the same factory. Just leave me two extra vegetable dumplings for lunch."

"Don't worry, I'll keep it for you." After the matter was finalized, Zhao Gang went back to the cafeteria to call people.

The reason why Shazhu didn’t go to dig wild vegetables yesterday was because he was beaten.

However, even if there is no such thing as Shazhu, some people will not have time to go there in the future.

After all, who would be willing to go to the countryside to dig wild vegetables on the weekend? It’s just one day to rest and they still have to work. They just do it casually and don’t harvest much food each time.

Zhao Gang returned to the office and greeted the team leaders of each canteen.

"I asked Master Li from the transport team to help. Go back and ask the transport team to let them try some wild vegetables when they get there. It's a rare opportunity for Master Li to help."

"Director Zhao, how much more do you want to dig?"

Zhao Gang thought for a moment and said, "Dig enough to last the canteen for a week. If you don't dig enough, don't come back."

"Director Zhao, you are kidding me, right? A week? That would take so many kilograms of wild vegetables that we wouldn't be able to dig enough in a day."

Zhao Gang waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, dig as much as you can, at least it should be enough for everyone to have a meal today."

"Let's make it clear from now on. Send someone to dig on Monday, so there's no need to dig on the weekend. Go back and make the arrangements later, and take turns to dig."

"Okay." After receiving the order, each team leader went back and arranged for people to go to the transport team first.

"Hey, this mission is really easy." Li Kailang smiled, "I am only responsible for leading people to dig and then bringing them back. I don't have to do anything and I can rest. It's great!"

Li Kailang happily took the people from the cafeteria away as he got an easy job for free.

Driving straight to the mountainside in the countryside, Li Kailang lay leisurely in the car.

The people from the cafeteria took their tools and went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. They dug with great grunts, and it was very lively. Li Kailang just watched.

The comparison between the two made them extremely envious.

After a few hours, the group of people dug up several baskets of wild vegetables. It seemed like a lot, but it was only enough for one meal, so they had to eat on a first-come, first-served basis.

"Damn it, I've been digging for the whole morning and my waist is about to be broken." A man sighed while blowing on his waist.

"Alas, I spent so much time digging, and this is just enough for one meal. This thing is really hard to eat."

"That's right. Ordinary people don't eat this. It uses too much oil. Only our factory has enough oil, so we can afford it and it tastes good."

"If ordinary people were asked to do this, it would waste oil, not be done well, and ruin food. Who would do it?"

"Alright, alright, stop talking. We've finished digging and can go now."

As soon as this statement was made, it was immediately agreed by everyone.

"Master Li, let's go."

Li Kailang nodded and said, "Okay, get in the car."

As soon as they returned to the factory, they started to busy themselves with processing wild vegetables and preparing them for lunch.

Fortunately, the team leaders were not so cruel and let them keep working.

"After you've processed the wild vegetables, you can go and take a rest. You can come back to help when dinner is ready."

"Okay." A group of people put down their work and went to rest.

Soon, it was time for lunch.

Everyone from the steel rolling mill was rushing towards the cafeteria.

"Huh! There are wild vegetable dumplings. Give me three!"

Looking at the wild vegetable dumplings in the bowl, someone couldn't wait to take a bite, "This taste is really good, this is the taste."

Seeing him eating with gusto, others were even more envious.

"Comrade, give me two!"

"I'll take four!"

"I'll take five! I'll take the extra home to eat tonight!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"There's only a limit of two per person. There's no more. Leave some for the people behind you. Don't make all of them for one person."

His words immediately caused the people in the back row to echo: "That's right, we want to eat too!"

"Okay, two is better than nothing. Give me two!"

For a while, the cafeteria was bustling with activity, as if it was Chinese New Year, mainly because the wild vegetable dumplings were so delicious and the people were generous with the ingredients.

Other dishes are not as delicious as these wild vegetable dumplings. Everyone goes to work just to wait for this delicious bite.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you arguing about! It's like a vegetable market, there's no discipline at all!"

Suddenly, a shrill sound was heard.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man with a frown on his face, looking at them with a gloomy face.

Everyone looked at each other and lowered their heads to discuss: "Who is he?"

"I don't know. There's no such person in the workshop."

"Hey, canteen guy, is this the leader of your canteen?"

"No, I've never seen this person before."

"Could it be that this is a leader from somewhere?"

No one dared to say anything. Seeing this, Ma Bi spoke eloquently.

"Look at you all, you can't tell east from west when there's something delicious? You're not so enthusiastic when you're working, but you're enthusiastic when you're eating?"

Everyone was speechless. That was the fact. How could they refute it?

Ma Bi felt even more proud as she watched everyone remain silent.

"You can't bear any hardship. You think about eating all day long. You'll die if you skip a meal. What are you doing? You're still eating! I want to talk to you. What are you doing?"

"Put it down now!"

The person who was called immediately put down the wild vegetable dumpling, but continued chewing it.

Ma Bi looked at the people in front of him who were like turtles hiding their heads, and couldn't help being excited. Someone couldn't stand Ma Bi's constant swearing and shouted, "Enough, just say a few words, haven't you said enough!"

"Hmm!" Ma Bi glared at the worker who spoke, "Are you talking?"

"That's what I said, so what?" The worker was not afraid at all. "He really thinks he's so awesome because he's the leader. Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Just stand here with me and recall the good old days! You don't enjoy the good things, but you have to endure the hardships. I've worked hard all morning, so what's wrong with having something good to eat?"

"Unlike you, who sits in the office all day and does nothing!"

"That's right!" His words immediately resonated with everyone.

"The food was nothing special to begin with, and now it finally has some flavor, but you're still not letting us have it. If you have the ability, you can cook for us. If you can do it, come and do it!"

"I've been tired all morning, and finally I can have something good to eat, but you're being fussy and intolerant. Okay, you cook the meal, I'll give you the spatula, you cook it!"

"No one in the cafeteria has any objections, but you do! Who do you really think you are?"

"That's right! Who do you think you are?" Everyone rolled their eyes.

"Okay, okay!" Ma Bi said angrily, "Okay, you guys, do you still have me as your leader in your eyes?"

"Bah!" A worker spat, "What kind of leader are you? If you have the ability, you shouldn't sit in the office all day long."

"That's right. I want to ask you, who are you? Which department are you from? Why haven't we seen you before?"

Ma Bi shouted, "Who do you care who I am? Look at you guys, you actually dare to rebel against the leader! You are rebelling against Tian Gang! You are rebelling against Tian Gang!"

"Look at you, look at you"

Ma Bi was interrupted before she could finish her words.

"Fuck you, you don't even dare to say who you are, what are you barking about! Dare you bark again? Believe it or not, I will beat you up!"

"If you can't do it, get out of here. Stop talking nonsense. If you keep nagging, I'll beat you up!"

Ma Bi's face turned pale: "Alright, you guys are awesome, I won't argue with you now! I'll teach you a lesson later!"

After saying these harsh words, Ma Bi turned around and was about to leave.

"He wants to leave! Damn it! How dare you threaten us? Comrades, attack!"

In an instant, everyone in the cafeteria rushed forward and surrounded Ma Bi.

"What are you doing! What are you trying to do!?"

"What? Don't you know what we are going to do? Go ahead and kill him!"

Someone raised his arm and a circle of light hit Ma Bi's eyes directly, and a panda eye appeared immediately.

"what!"

"Fuck him!"

Everyone punched Ma Bi one after another, and some even kicked him hard because they couldn't get enough of beating him.

“Ah——” Ma Bi’s screams resounded through the sky, and soon there was no sound.

Ma Bi fainted in the middle of the crowd.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

"Director Yang, you've come at the right time." When Zhao Gang saw Director Yang coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"What's going on?" Director Yang frowned slightly. Someone was injured in the cafeteria. The situation was very serious.

"Director Yang, this is what happened. This..." Zhao Gang didn't know the name of the person lying on the ground, "this person kept nagging as soon as he came to the cafeteria."

"No, he started talking non-stop as soon as he came to the cafeteria, pointing fingers at his comrades."

Zhao Gang recounted in detail what had just happened, and he had already given Ma Bi a death sentence in his heart.

Director Yang was also very craving for the wild vegetable dumplings, and he was willing to risk his life to make things difficult for Director Yang.

Director Yang frowned and looked at the unconscious Ma Bi with a look of disgust.

Don't pick a fight during meal time, as your bad mood will delay production in the workshop.

Director Yang looked at Zhao Gang and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll take care of it."

Then he looked at his secretary Wan Shen and said, "Send him to the infirmary first to see how he is doing. If not, send him to the hospital."

"Don't let him wander around if there's nothing to do. And by the way, check who this person is. I've never seen him before."

"Okay." Wan Shen nodded in response. This person would definitely be demoted. How unlucky.

The overall environment is not good now. No one is promoted or demoted in the factory. Maybe this is his "first time".

Then he looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, eat first. Don't let a few individuals affect you. I will give you an explanation on this matter. Let's eat first."

"This is what a leader is like. That person doesn't look like a leader at all. By the way, who is that person? What's his name?"

"Who knows? No one has ever told me."

"Never mind, hurry up and get in line, because once you get in line, there will be no more seats left."

As soon as the topic of wild vegetable dumplings was mentioned, everyone's attention was immediately diverted.

As soon as Ma Bi woke up in the infirmary, someone reported it immediately.

Director Yang came over immediately, but instead of going to the infirmary, he went to the detention room in the security building.

"What's going on with him?" Director Yang looked at the team leader Ma Wenxuan.

"Director Yang, this guy is not a leader, nor is he from our factory. He is a refugee from outside."

"Refugee? How did this guy get in?"

"I got in from the grove behind the cafeteria. I put on the clothes secretly when no one was in the office."

Upon hearing this, Director Yang's eyes flashed with ferocity.

"you"

"Ma Bi, his name is Ma Bi." Ma Wenxuan reminded in time.

"Ma Bi, right? Do you know what you have done wrong? This is a steel mill, a confidential unit. If you enter the steel mill without permission, the consequences will be very serious!"

Ma Bi grabbed the fence and begged for mercy: "Director, Director, please save me! I didn't mean it. I just wanted to make a living. I have no ill intentions."

Everyone present laughed at this statement, "No ill intentions? Just to make a living?"

"Listen to yourself. Can you believe what you say? You are just trying to make a living, why are you making such a fuss? Are you trying to make things difficult for the workers?"

"I just can't stand it. I'm hungry outside, and I don't know where to get my next meal. Seeing them having their fill, I feel bad."

Director Yang directly exposed: "I don't think you feel bad, I think you just can't stand it, you are envious and jealous!"

"You are an outsider who sneaked into our factory. I will turn a blind eye to it."

"You are still looking for trouble and violating laws and regulations. If I don't punish you, how can I explain to the employees in the factory?"

Director Yang was too lazy to waste time talking to him. He turned to look at Ma Wenxuan and said, "First, lock him up in the detention room for a few days to let him learn his lesson. Then send him to the police station. Don't let him eat too much!"

"Understood!" Ma Wenxuan saluted in response.

"Director, Director, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Ma Bi grabbed the railing and yelled.

But it did not shake Director Yang's ruthlessness at all. Did he really think that if a tiger doesn't show its power, it would be a sick cat?

Director Yang has a very amiable demeanor and treats everyone in the factory well. He doesn't want just any Tom, Dick or Harry to come and take a bite.

"Xiao Wan, go to the Propaganda Department later and tell them about Ma Bi's situation. Don't let him affect the workers' mood."

"I understand!" Wan Shen nodded.

"Captain Ma, you need to revise the patrols of the security department. I hope this won't happen again. Don't let anyone get into the steel mill."

"It's okay today, it's just a minor incident. If someone had entered the workshop and caused casualties, I don't need to tell you the consequences."

"Understood, I will go and supervise it immediately!" Ma Wenxuan replied.

"Okay, don't send it off, just go and deal with it." Director Yang waved his hand and Ma Wenxuan left immediately.

Originally, the small woods behind the cafeteria was a "no man's land".

On paper it is under the jurisdiction of the Security Department, but in reality it is under the jurisdiction of the canteen. If there is any mistake, it is the canteen's fault.

But since Director Yang is holding the blame, the fault can only be placed on his security department.
