Ring ring ring…
As the sun set, the bell for the Red Star Rolling Mill rang.
Lu Fan closed the window of the small shop, locked the door, and went to the kitchen of the rolling mill.
"Little Lu, you're here. I've packed all the vegetables for you!”
Director Zhao smiled and handed Lu Fan a net bag. There were five or six lunch boxes in the net bag, all of which were the leftovers from the leaders 'lunch.
People in this era weren't as particular as they were now. The leftovers of the leaders were good things that ordinary people couldn't touch.
One had to know that other than the New Year, who else could eat meat?
However, the leftovers of the leaders were different. There was not only pork, but also chicken, duck, fish, and even turtles. For people of this era, it was simply a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
Lu Fan had never been a picky person. He never minded leftovers.
After all, this was a unique era. If you were picky and did not eat this or that, you would probably starve to death in less than two days.
Lu Fan took the net bag with a smile and realized that it was quite heavy."Thank you, Director Zhao!"
Director Zhao smiled." Brother Lu, what are you talking about? You helped me sign the order and cooked such a big table of good dishes for the leader to eat. I should thank you!" There's nothing else to say. If there's anything in the future, just let me know. I, your brother, will help you with anything!”
Lu Fan laughed." Don't, don't. You're such a director. I'm just a salesperson in a small shop. How would I dare to ask you for help?!" Just take care of me!”
"Just a word!"
Director Zhao patted his chest and said heroically.
Before he left, Director Zhao took out a few food and meat coupons from his pocket and stuffed them into Lu Fan's hands as a personal token of gratitude.
Lu Fan did not stand on ceremony and took the order.
……
As the sun set, Lu Fan casually carried a net bag of lunch boxes and walked back to the courtyard house.
Looking at the lunch box in Lu Fan's hand, everyone revealed envious gazes.
A few of them who were close to the food even swallowed their saliva unconsciously when they smelled the fragrance of the oil in the lunch box.
After passing through the entrance of the alley and entering the courtyard house, Lu Fan carried the net bag and went straight to He Yuzhu's house.
"Brother!"
Lu Fan walked in with a smile.”
He Yuzhu got down from the bed and took the heavy lunch box from Lu Fan's hands. She was immediately shocked."You, why did you take so many things? If the leader saw this, what would happen? Your brother usually only dares to take a little at most. You're too bold!”
Lu Fan waved his hand, signaling him not to worry, and told him everything that happened in the afternoon.
He Yuzhu was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground.
After a long while, he finally reacted and said with a sigh,"Brother, it's a good thing you're not an employee of our Red Star Rolling Mill! If you were from our factory, I would have lost my job!”
"Hahaha!"
Lu Fan laughed out loud." Don't worry. We're on the same side. We won't steal our jobs. My ambition lies in the small shop!" These vegetables can be eaten after heating them up on the stove. I'll go back to my room to take a nap first. Call me when it's time to eat!”
He Yuzhu nodded." Alright, you rest first. It's not dark yet. There's still a while before dinner!" You must be tired from cooking a table full of dishes at noon!”
After returning to the house, Lu Fan turned his hand and locked the door.
Sitting on the bed, Lu Fan pulled out the system interface in his mind and clicked on the daily check-in.
Ding!" Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in. You have received three fuel tickets, five coal tickets, and two cloth tickets!”
Immediately after, a stack of tickets of various colors appeared in Lu Fan's hand. He took out a biscuit box from under the bed, opened the lid, and stuffed the tickets in.
After signing in, Lu Fan was ready to check what good things the system had given out after today's mission was completed.
"System, what's the reward for today's mission?”
The System said," Ding! Congratulations on selling two pairs of sneakers, three mirrors, and a pound of chicken cake. The mission has been completed. Now, the mission reward is given. Foreign Language Talent 2!”
……
At the same time, the door of the opposite room suddenly opened.
Qin Huairu first glanced at Lu Fan's room and confirmed that the door was tightly shut. Then, she took a bottle of white wine and a bag of peanuts and quietly ran to He Yuzhu's room.
Qin Huairu's eyes were fixed on the stack of lunch boxes on the table the moment she entered.
"Qin Huairu, are you here to visit me?”He Yuzhu asked with a smile.
Hearing He Yuzhu call him, Qin Huairu quickly averted her gaze and placed the bottle of wine on the table.""If I'm not here to see you, what else can I do? I heard that you caught a cold at noon, so I specially brought you a bottle of wine. You'll be fine after you warm up a little and sweat!”
He Yuzhu chuckled." Sister Qin, you really know how to care for people. I've been lying in this room for half a day. You're the only one who doesn't mind coming to see me!"”
Qin Huairu nodded absentmindedly and pretended to ask casually,""Silly Zhu, what's in the lunchbox on your table? It smells so good?"
"Oh, you mean this? This is the leftovers my brother brought back from the canteen!”He Yuzhu opened the boxes one by one."You probably haven't eaten yet, right? It just so happens that he brought a lot, and the two of us brothers can't finish it.”
Qin Huairu nodded with a smile on her face. That was exactly what she was here for.
When Lu Fan carried the lunch box into the courtyard house, she had already smelled the fragrance of the food and almost drooled.
After Lu Fan entered the house to rest, she ran over and asked He Yuzhu for food.
" Silly Zhu, you guys probably don't like the fat chicken drumstick. Give it to me. My child is still growing. You can give me more of that meat too…"
Qin Huairu commanded He Yuzhu to scrape almost all the meat in the food that Lu Fan brought back to him.
It was as if he did not treat himself as an outsider at all.
He Yuzhu handed two lunchboxes stuffed with meat to Qin Huairu and said with a smile,""Let me tell you, you're in luck today. These dishes were all cooked by my brother in the cafeteria at noon! The big leader was full of praise after eating it!"
"Your brother knows how to cook?" Qin Huairu sat down and asked,"He doesn't look like someone who knows how to flip a spoon."”
He Yuzhu smiled and said," I didn't look like it at first, but his fever is better than mine. Don't you think it's infuriating?!" He's also very considerate and good to people. If I could have half of him, I would have gotten this wife long ago!”
Qin Huairu snorted coldly in his heart,'What's so good about your brother? He's just a bastard. He's even worse than Xu Damao!'
She pretended to look aggrieved and said,"Silly Zhu, let me tell you something, don't be angry. I feel that your brother seems to have some prejudice against me. Maybe it's because I'm a widow, so he doesn't like me. When I was in the cafeteria at noon…"
Qin Huairu exaggerated what happened in the afternoon, emphasizing how Lu Fan made things difficult for him and how he discriminated against a widow like her.
He Yuzhu frowned and said hesitantly,"I don't think Lu Fan is such a person!”
"That's right! How could I be such a mean person?”
Lu Fan's voice rang out from outside the house, causing Qin Huiru to tremble in fear.
She quickly stood up and blocked the two lunchboxes full of meat behind her. She said awkwardly,"Lu Fan, when did you come over?”
She hurriedly picked up the peanuts on the table and explained,"Don't misunderstand. I saw that your brother wasn't feeling well and specially came to visit him. I knew that you guys hadn't eaten yet, so I specially brought wine and peanuts!”
"A bottle of lousy wine and a few peanuts, and you came to our house to cheat us of something. Qin Huairu, you're really scheming.”Lu Fan looked at the flustered Qin Huairu and sneered.""Also, your peanuts look familiar. You stole them from my brother's house, right?”
