Chapter 580 2 Uncle, I am the monitor now
"Wow, you idiot, you're having a hard time, why did you buy so many old things?"
At the gate of the courtyard, Second Uncle Liu Haizhong looked at Sha Zhu, who was holding something in each hand, and asked in surprise.
Even if your wife is pregnant, you wouldn't do this, right?
You know, it costs money to have and raise children. Oh, there are two working people in your family, so that's okay.
Even though Sha Zhu was carrying vegetables and meat in his left hand and eggs and bread in his right hand, these only cost a few dollars at most, which seemed affordable for Sha Zhu.
Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but feel envious. If his wife could also work in the factory, the family's conditions would be much better and the burden on his shoulders would be much lighter.
Sha Zhu grinned excitedly: "I'm happy today, I'm going to go home and have a good meal!"
"Today? Isn't it about your wife's pregnancy?" Liu Haizhong narrowed his eyes, feeling that he had discovered something new.
"I'm promoted to class monitor today!"
Sha Zhu chuckled, then took Liu Lan home to cook.
Monitor? What monitor?
Liu Haizhong was stunned for several seconds before he reacted.
"No way? How come Shazhu has only been in the factory for a short time? How come he has become a leader?"
Liu Haizhong muttered to himself in disbelief, feeling that this matter was a little unreal.
He has worked in the steel mill longer than Sha Zhu, but he still hasn't been promoted to any official position. How can Sha Zhu be the team leader?
It can't be that it was because of Chen Jun that Sha Zhu got the position of squad leader, right?
Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but scratch his chin, feeling both envious and angry.
When will he become a leader?
The manager of the yard was no longer enough to satisfy him, and he wanted to get a position in the steel mill.
At this time, He Yushui, who was washing rice by the sink, was also confused when he saw his silly brother carrying so many things.
"Brother, are we celebrating this? Why are you buying so many things? Hey, there's also my favorite bread!"
He Yushui's eyes lit up when he saw the bread. Sha Zhu had brought some to He Yushui once before, and after eating it, He Yushui fell in love with this sandwich bread.
Especially now that bread is so popular in the city, if any classmate can bring a piece of bread to school, he can make everyone in the class envious for the whole day.
"Oh, what nonsense are you talking about? Our family will be more prosperous in the future."
"Come, wash these things. I'll cook some dishes for you so you can have a good meal tonight!"
As he said that, Sha Zhu handed the dish in his hand to He Yushui.
He Yushui took it and looked at it, and found that there was actually a piece of pork belly inside, which weighed at least three or four pounds.
"No, what's wrong with you?"
If it was just vegetables and bread, He Yushui could still understand it. Her silly brother might be in a good mood and went to the vegetable market after get off work.
But buying so much meat at one time cannot be explained by being in a good mood.
Seeing this, Liu Lan smiled and explained, "Your brother has become the monitor, and his salary will increase by five yuan every month from now on."
Sha Zhu is the pillar of the family. Liu Lan was happy about his promotion and salary increase, so she didn't stop him from buying these things.
"My brother is the monitor?"
He Yushui looked at Sha Zhu in shock, his eyes wide open.
"The monitor of the cafeteria? How many people are under your supervision?"
He Yushui, who was not even able to become a small committee member in the class, was very shocked by the news, but the joy in his words was almost overflowing.
This is the class monitor. The class monitors in school are already very powerful, so wouldn’t the class monitor in a steel mill be even more powerful?
"Take care of so many people. Even I am your brother's subordinate."
"Hahaha, then my brother has made great progress!"
Just as He Yushui rolled up her sleeves to wash the vegetables, the door of the Jia family was opened and Qin Huairu walked out with a complicated expression.
Qin Huairu heard everything they talked about just now!
Sha Zhu became the squad leader and his monthly salary increased by five yuan. Is this still the same Sha Zhu who followed me around before?
I remember when Sha Zhu hadn't joined the factory yet, she liked to hang around me after work every day and would take the initiative to give me her packed lunch boxes. Not only would she give me food, but sometimes she would also give me money to spend.
But now, Sha Zhu not only got married, but also became the team leader of the steel mill canteen.
On the other hand, their family's life is getting worse day by day. Compared with Sha Zhu now, Jia Dongxu has not made any progress at all. He has been standing still after so many years.
The family was out of food again. Qin Huairu originally wanted to borrow some food from He Yushui before Sha Zhu and Liu Lan came back, but now she could only turn around and go to the front yard.
......
"Well, it's not that I don't want to help, my family is in a difficult situation right now. Jie Cheng just got married a few days ago, and the girl is quite satisfied with him. The engagement and other things will cost a lot of money, and your uncle is planning to go out and borrow some money from someone."
In the front yard, the three aunts stood at the door in embarrassment, looking helpless.
Qin Huairu, who was standing opposite her, awkwardly tucked her hair behind her ears, showing no intention of leaving.
The money she earned from going out a while ago has now been spent.
The money was not spent recklessly, but the family of four had no income at all. Jia Zhang did nothing all day and ate more than two people.
As for Sha Zhu, she couldn't open her mouth, nor did she dare to open her mouth, for fear of being punished by Liu Lan.
There was no need to think about Yi Zhonghai, as Jia Zhang had already offended someone so much, and Liu Haizhong also had conflicts with Jia Zhang, so Qin Huairu didn't dare to go.
After thinking about it, only the stingy third uncle is easy to talk to.
Although Yan Bugui is extremely stingy, he has a decent relationship with their family and is a person who cares about face.
But these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that on the day Yan Jiecheng went on a blind date, the smell of meat from the Third Uncle’s house filled the entire yard. Everyone in the yard said that the Third Uncle’s family was rich and had no shortage of food and drink.
"If it really doesn't work, can you lend me some food? I'll pay you back as soon as Dongxu gets his salary!"
Seeing that the third aunt was unwilling to give any food, Qin Huairu twitched her nose, pretended to be about to cry, and began to beg.
If you don’t give me food, it’s ok for me to borrow some, right?
If I don't pay it back when the time comes, can you still come to collect the debt just for a little food?
This sentence put the three aunts in a difficult position.
After thinking for a while, the third aunt felt that she still had to discuss this matter with Yan Bugui, so she sighed and said, "I'll go home and see how much food is left."
After saying that, the third aunt turned around and went back to the house. She planned to discuss with Yan Bugui how to solve the problem.
No one would say anything if I refused Qin Huairu's request for food.
But if we refuse to lend the grain, it would be somewhat unfair, especially since Yan Bugui is the manager of the courtyard.
"Sent away?"
In the room, Yan Bugui was sitting at the dining table eating noodles. When he saw the third aunt coming back, he asked casually.
"No, I told her that our family is in a difficult situation, but she refused to leave. She said that this time it was just a loan and she would return it to us when Jia Dongxu got his salary."
