Chapter 27 Unleashes a Series of Powerful Moves
The news that Shen Zhishou was to be transferred spread quickly throughout the grain station.
Everyone felt sorry for him.
After all, with Shen Zhishou here, unless Shen Zhishou takes leave or rests, they basically don't need to do any physical labor.
Who would have thought that after only a few days of enjoying the good life, things would have to go back to the way they were before?
But no one was dissatisfied.
In this era, the prevailing attitude is towards hard work and perseverance.
It's a waste of talent for someone as capable as Shen Zhishou to be just a porter here.
You mean Shen Zhishou is just a bit too strong?
Sorry, the boss doesn't see it that way.
It's hard to say who has the final say on the interpretation.
At the end of the day's work, Shen Zhishou simply bought all the meat and vegetables from the grain station canteen, which made the canteen auntie laugh. She generously said that if he ever craved meat or vegetables again, he could come back and get an employee discount.
Shen Zhishou readily agreed to this.
Regardless of whether he will come in the future, Shen Zhishou must acknowledge the kindness of the cafeteria lady.
Returning to the courtyard, Shen Zhishou encountered Sha Zhu again.
Sha Zhu was also carrying a net bag, and inside the bag was a lunchbox.
"Comrade Shen, I'm so sorry. I drank too much yesterday and said things I shouldn't have. Please forgive me!"
Sha Zhu met Shen Zhishou again and apologized once more.
Shen Zhishou smiled slightly and said, "Master He, I accept your apology this time. However, as your neighbor, I still want to give you a piece of advice: loose lips sink ships!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I've always had a loose tongue and caused a lot of trouble. I'll try my best to correct it in the future!"
Sha Zhu wasn't unaware that he had a foul mouth and spoke rudely, but as the war god of the courtyard, he could fight Xu Damao, who was tall and strong, whenever he wanted, which made him arrogant.
Sha Zhu had witnessed Shen Zhishou's abilities once and knew he couldn't beat him, so he quickly backed down.
Most of the people in the courtyard didn't know what Shen Zhishou's abilities were, but Shazhu did.
Sha Zhu had seen Shen Zhishou carrying all that furniture back by himself from afar. From then on, Sha Zhu understood that although Shen Zhishou looked a bit thin, if they really fought, Shen Zhishou could easily subdue him with one hand.
Those who understand the times are wise!
Sha Zhu is reckless, but not brainless.
The two entered the courtyard house one after the other, and then said goodbye.
When Shen Zhishou returned home, Yu Li was surprised to see that he had stuffed four lunchboxes into his pocket. She asked, "What...?"
"Oh, didn't I mention before that I've taken two older brothers? They helped me get a job transfer, and in a couple of days I'll be starting at a steel mill. Then I won't be able to eat at the grain depot canteen anymore, so I got two extra dishes today, as a way of celebrating my new job!"
Shen Zhishou briefly explained the situation.
When Yu Li heard that Shen Zhishou was going to change jobs, she was first stunned, and then cheered excitedly.
The job at the grain depot is stable, and you can bring home cheap meat and vegetables, but the salary is low. It's fine now, but who knows what the future holds?
After all, their burden will be much heavier when they have children in the future.
Isn't that exactly what Jia Dongxu is like?
If it were just him living with Qin Huairu, he would definitely be living a very comfortable life.
However, Jia Dongxu has an elderly mother to support and two children.
One person's salary is enough to support five people, especially since four of them have no fixed salary.
In contrast, the Yan family's situation is much better.
Although Yan Bugui is currently the main breadwinner, his family of six is on a fixed budget. While they are still struggling to make ends meet, the main reason is that Yan Bugui is too stingy.
Four meat dishes certainly can't be made into a hodgepodge.
Yu Li had no choice but to cook them separately, one by one.
For a moment, the courtyard was filled with mouthwatering aromas.
However, because Shen Zhishou got off work too late, most of the people in the courtyard had already eaten dinner.
Even so, the aroma still makes people drool, and children are even more tempted to tears.
"Grandma, I want to eat meat!"
The pheasant started barking again.
The person who had already lain down suddenly started making a fuss.
Jia Zhangshi was also very hungry for it.
Although the Jia family had bought meat before, it was just a small amount, enough to give them a taste, but it had already whetted their appetites.
"Shut up!"
"I just ate meat yesterday!"
For once, Jia Dongxu stood up for himself and shouted at Bang Geng.
Madam Jia, however, doted on Bang Geng and immediately shouted at Jia Dongxu, "Dongxu, what are you yelling about? Bang Geng is still growing!"
"What child this age doesn't want to eat meat?"
"Qin Huairu!"
"You get along well with Yu Li, why don't you borrow some more!"
Jia Zhangshi put pressure on Qin Huairu again.
The hamster cried out at just the right moment.
Qin Huairu lay motionless on the kang (a heated brick bed).
She was too ashamed to go!
I borrowed meat from them twice before, but they bought the meat and didn't offer any thanks.
Yesterday, he even shamelessly went to borrow cotton!
"Qin Huairu, I'm talking to you!"
Seeing that Qin Huairu did not react, Jia Zhangshi raised her voice in anger.
The pheasant howled even louder.
Enraged, Qin Huairu got up, grabbed a broom from the ground, and started hitting the broom handle with it.
"I'll teach you to howl!"
"Not learning good things!"
"So lazy and good-for-nothing all day long!"
Bang Geng had never been beaten up before, but he never expected to be beaten up today, and by Qin Huairu's ultimate move.
When Jia Zhangshi saw her beloved granddaughter Qin Huairu hit her, she immediately jumped up and shielded herself with the broom handle. However, Qin Huairu's broom seemed to be out of control, and she continued to strike Jia Zhangshi several times.
"This is outrageous!"
"The daughter-in-law hit her mother-in-law!"
Jia Zhangshi burst into tears immediately.
Qin Huairu dropped the broom in her hand, flustered, and said, "Grandma, I didn't mean to! I didn't expect you to pounce on me!"
When the first blow landed on Jia Zhangshi, it was indeed because Qin Huairu didn't react in time.
But Qin Huairu did it on purpose in the last few blows, putting in all her strength.
Qin Huairu's resentment towards Jia Zhangshi was undoubtedly deep.
Jia Dongxu hadn't expected things to turn out this way, so he could only step in and try to smooth things over.
"Mom, can you please stop making a scene?"
"You've spoiled the Koreans rotten!"
Jia Dongxu still had some sense of reason and knew that Bang Geng was spoiled.
After all, no one is having an easy time at this time. Being able to eat meat twice a month is considered a good life.
Bang Geng isn't being unreasonable.
They've already eaten dinner, but they're still clamoring for meat; they're clearly spoiled.
Jia Zhangshi felt even more aggrieved after being reprimanded by Jia Dongxu.
"Old Jia, open your eyes! Your son is unfilial!"
"Come and take me away!"
"I don't want to live anymore!"
Jia Zhangshi began to summon Old Jia.
However, at this moment, she wasn't asking Lao Jia to take others away; instead, she wanted Lao Jia to take her away herself.
Even when she was throwing a tantrum, Jia Zhangshi remained sober.
Her precious son must not get into trouble.
