Speaking of which, Qin Huiru had replaced Jia Dongxu in the steel rolling mill after Huai Hua was born.
Huai Hua's age was no different from Yi Xuexi's. They were both six years old and were both in the first grade.
In other words, Qin Huiru had been working in the rolling mill for six years. During these six years, Qin Huiru's monthly salary was still slightly more than 27 yuan. Even the apprentices who had just entered the mill were paid 22 yuan a month. Qin Huiru's salary was not much higher than that of the apprentices. Furthermore, since she had entered the mill as a substitute, Qin Huiru's seniority was added to Jia Dongxu's seniority.
Just like Qin Huairu, Li Baocai and Chen Nuanjin had joined the rolling mill around the same time. They had also learned how to be a fitter from Yi Zhonghai in the first workshop. Now, both of them were earning more than 60 yuan a month, which was more than the two Qin Huairu's.
Back when Qin Huiru entered the workshop, Yi Zhonghai did not hide anything. He definitely taught her as much as he could. However, Qin Huiru simply could not learn. Not only could she not learn, but she was also unwilling to learn.
If Qin Huairu was as hardworking as Chen Nuanjin, she would probably be able to earn seventy yuan a month now. With this amount of money, not to mention a family of five, even if there were two more mouths, Qin Huairu would be able to support them.
However, it was Qin Huairu's fault for not working hard.
Sometimes, even Yi Xuexi felt pity for Qin Huairu. This era was not like the later era. The rolling mill was a state-owned enterprise. It could be said that it was a period where individual effort was the most cost-effective.
As long as you worked hard now, there was a high chance that you would be rewarded. However, in the future, even if you worked hard, you would not get anything other than letting your boss change to a better wife.
However, it was useless even if he knew. It was not that Yi Zhonghai had never mentioned Qin Huiru, but did Qin Huiru listen to him? Otherwise, Yi Zhonghai would not have kept it a secret. If Yi Zhonghai did not say anything, Yi Xuexi would not say anything either.
At home, Qin Huairu and Grandma Stick Stupid had a long discussion. In the end, they felt that Yan Bugui should be the one to speak up. After all, Yan Bugui was the one who lost the owner. If he went to the police station to talk about it, this matter might be forgotten.
After thinking about it, Qin Huiru quickly walked from the middle court to the front courtyard. When Qin Huiru arrived, Third Aunt had just persuaded Grandmother Qi to leave and was preparing dinner.
"Third Aunt, I heard that this morning, Silly Zhu stole Third Uncle's bicycle wheels. This Silly Zhu really shouldn't have done it.”
Qin Huairu started talking about Silly Zhu.
She had no choice but to say that. After all, it was Silly Zhu's fault. Even if she tried to persuade him, she had to scold Silly Zhu first before she could continue.
"Widow Qin, you're here. Speaking of this, it's also Third Uncle's fault. He clearly promised Silly Zhu, but in the end, he didn't do it. Otherwise, Silly Zhu wouldn't have stolen his wheels.”
Third Aunt was such a smart person. She knew the purpose of Qin Huairu's visit the moment she saw her.
Everyone in the courtyard knew that Silly Zhu was almost a helper of the Jia family. Not to mention leftovers, even a lot of Silly Zhu's monthly salary went into Widow Qin's hands.
Even if he tied up this wallet, Qin Huiru would not let Silly Zhu enter the detention center.
However, Qin Huiru had miscalculated this time. This concerned whether her eldest son could enter the canteen of the rolling mill. Qin Huiru had already said it out loud. Even if she were to bring things to the door, Yanbugui's family would not relent.
"You can't say that. Third Uncle also has his own difficulties. However, Silly Zhu is from our courtyard after all. We see her often. Do you think you should let me go to the police station and say that this matter will be over?”
Qin Huairu understood the meaning behind Third Aunt's words, but she still wanted to give it a try.
"This is not easy to handle. The patrol officer said that this matter can't be changed after it's settled. We can't affect the normal work of the patrol officer, right? By the way, Widow Qin, let me give you a piece of advice. Don't worry about this matter. If others hear about it, they will gossip again.”
Waving her hand, Third Aunt left Qin Huairu outside and returned to the house.
After thinking for a while outside, Qin Huiru felt that Third Master would definitely not relent. She spat hatefully. Qin Huiru went back to discuss with Granny Stick Stick. Without Silly Pillar's support, they would probably have a hard time this year.
After Qin Huairu left, Third Aunt heaved a sigh of relief and returned to her seat.
There was a table full of delicious dishes on the Yan family's table. There were also a few meat dishes. Yan Jiecheng had specially made them today to thank his parents for letting Silly Zhu enter the detention center.
"Dad, Mom, I'm here to thank you. Now that Silly Zhu is in the police station, I definitely can't let him continue working in the canteen. When I enter the canteen, I definitely won't forget you two.”
After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, his wife, Yu Li, also stood up to thank him.
Yan Jiecheng didn't have a formal job yet. He could only do some private work like running water tables to support his family. Although he could earn some money from these jobs, it was definitely not as good as the canteen.
Putting aside the possibility of looting, Yan Jiecheng's monthly salary of nearly forty yuan was not something he could earn now.
If Yan Jiecheng didn't want to go to the cafeteria so badly, he wouldn't have taken out the 20 yuan gift money. Although 20 yuan was a lot, as long as he entered the cafeteria, it was only half a month's salary.
"Okay, okay, okay. A few days ago, your mother and I were still discussing when there would be an empty seat in the cafeteria. I didn't expect to find a pillow so soon. Silly Zhu actually stole my bicycle wheels.”
Yan Bugui couldn't help but laugh when he talked about this. He didn't expect Silly Zhu to be so stupid.
Hearing Yan Bugui's words, Third Aunt, Yan Jiecheng, and Yu Li all laughed. They didn't expect this day to come so quickly. They had been waiting for years, but in just a few days, something had happened to Silly Zhu, and it was a major theft.
Yan Jiedi and the other kids didn't know why their family members were so happy. They didn't understand why their parents, brother, and sister-in-law were so happy because Silly Zhu had stolen the wheels of their family's bicycle. However, they didn't care about this matter when they saw the good dishes on the table.
After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he announced that they could start eating. The children of the Yan Family started to fight for it.
When Yi Zhonghai returned home, he heard that the thief was Silly Zhu. He couldn't help but shake his head.
This idiot, I really don't know what to say about him. How could he steal a car? If you really feel special, you can take the time to smash the windows of Yan Bu Gui's house at night. It's the coldest time before the new year. You can freeze them for a night.
Moreover, there was no way to arrest him. After all, there were so many people in the courtyard. Who knew who broke the window?
Even if they were caught, it wouldn't be a big problem. It was just a piece of glass. Changing a piece of glass would only cost a few cents. The police wouldn't even care.
However, Silly Zhu actually chose to steal the bicycle wheels. A bicycle wheel cost at least 15 yuan, which was half a month's salary for many people. He couldn't just ignore it.
Shaking his head, he could guess why Yan Bugui had chosen to deal with him so harshly. It was because he knew about Yan Jiecheng's situation.
After returning home, Aunt Yi told him about this matter. Both of them felt that Silly Zhu was going to suffer a huge loss this time. Not only would he be locked up for a few days, but Yan Jiecheng would probably take over the work in the canteen.
After the two of them sighed, they let it go. After all, their family was not talking to Silly Zhu now. What happened to Silly Zhu had nothing to do with them.
Yi Xuexi couldn't help but laugh as the two of them talked.
If he remembered correctly, in the original novel, there was also a plot where Silly Zhu stole Yan Bugui's bicycle wheel. However, at that time, Yi Zhonghai had to fork out ten yuan to buy Yan Bugui another bicycle wheel to suppress the matter.
But now, since he was here, Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Yi's retirement issues naturally did not need to be worried by Silly Zhu. Therefore, Yi Zhonghai naturally had no reason to help.
Thinking of this, Yi Xuexi couldn't help but smile.
"Xuexi, what are you laughing at? Why are you so insidious?”
Chen Jingjing's words startled Yi Xuexi. Was his shrewdness that shallow? How could Chen Jingjing see through him?
"I'm happy. Oh right, where did you learn the word sinister?”
Turning around, Yi Xuexi saw a sinister word on the test paper he had given them.
Well, it seemed like he had shot himself in the foot.
After sending the three little ones back to their own home after dinner, the Yi family turned off the lights and went to rest.
The next day at work, Yi Zhonghai specially went to tell Bao Guangfu that Silly Zhu had been caught stealing yesterday, so he definitely couldn't stay in the canteen anymore. Didn't he say that he would arrange for Yan Jiecheng when the canteen had an empty seat? Wasn't it time now?
Hearing that Shazhu was arrested, Bao Guangfu couldn't help but scold Shazhu. He had only said it casually at that time. How would he know that Shazhu would enter the canteen so quickly? He thought that the empty seats in the canteen would be at least two years later. In the end, because of the good deeds of Shazhu, he had to spend a lot of effort to arrange it now.
After scolding Silly Zhu, Bao Guangfu went to look for someone. Since not many people knew about this matter, it was better to do it as soon as possible. If everyone in the factory knew about it, many people would probably recommend others.
At noon, the horn of the rolling mill sounded.
" Our factory's employee, He Yuzhu, was caught by the police officers at the local police station yesterday for theft. He was also sent to the detention center yesterday for seven days. I hope that all the workers in this factory will take this as a warning and remember the warning that if you don't reach out, you will be caught if you do…"
The broadcast warned them not to steal, but no one paid attention to it.
In the rolling mill, Silly Zhu was a celebrity. The treatment in the canteen was already good, but now he actually went out to steal. It seemed that the legend was true. Silly Zhu was born with three hands. He would panic if he didn't steal for a day.
Knowing that Qin Huiru and Silly Zhu were close, a few workers came over to ask Qin Huiru what was going on.
"Hai, speaking of this, it's also the fault of our Third Uncle. He had promised Silly Zhu to introduce a partner to him, and Silly Zhu gave him a lot of things, but he didn't say anything at all. Silly Zhu was angry, so he took off Third Uncle's wheels.”
Of course, Qin Huairu had to speak up for Silly Zhu.
After hearing Qin Huairu's words, the workers were a little disapproving. With Silly Zhu's reputation, which blind girl would fall for him? Although Third Master was to blame for accepting Silly Zhu's things, Silly Zhu could not steal anything, especially a car wheel.
A bicycle cost more than 100 yuan, and they had to have a bicycle ticket. Which family's bicycle wasn't treated like a treasure? If Silly Zhu stole their bicycle, not only would they punish him severely, they would also beat him up.
However, in front of Qin Huiru, everyone naturally wouldn't say what they were thinking. Instead, they just followed Qin Huiru's words. After all, they didn't know that Third Master.
During lunch, many workers told the canteen director that the food was indeed not as good as before. Everyone was doing physical labor in the workshop, so they had to keep up with the food.
The head of the canteen had no choice. After all, Silly Zhu was locked up in the detention center. Although Ma Hua could do a good job, because Silly Zhu was caught, he was no longer in the mood to cook. In the end, the head of the canteen said a lot of good things before he could pass the lunch.
Thinking of what Old Bao had told him in the morning, the canteen director got up and went to the first workshop.
Seeing the head of the canteen come over, Yi Zhonghai knew that Yan Jiecheng's matter had succeeded. After all, Silly Zhu had a reputation as a thief now, so he definitely couldn't stay in the canteen.
On Bao Guangfu's side, he began to follow the canteen director's lead.
"Don't worry, you still don't believe me. My nephew studied cooking when he was in technical secondary school. If it weren't for the fact that his hometown was in Beijing, he would have been arranged to work long ago. He wouldn't have come to the rolling mill. Let him try tomorrow. If he can do it, let him do it. If not, I'll pull him home for you.”
After the head of the canteen left, Bao Guangfu found Yi Zhonghai and asked him to tell Yan Jiecheng to come to the canteen tomorrow to try his cooking skills.
"But Old Yi, do you think Yan Jiecheng is the one? We've eaten the wedding banquet he made before. Although it's not bad compared to others, compared to Silly Zhu, his cooking skills are still a little inferior.”
Bao Guangfu said worriedly.
"Director Bao, don't worry. If it really doesn't work out, I'll talk to the Yan Family's boss tonight. I guarantee that I won't embarrass you tomorrow.”
Of course, Yi Zhonghai knew that Yan Jiecheng was not as good at cooking as a fool.
However, he had already thought of a way to resolve this matter.
Seeing how confident Yi Zhonghai was, Bao Guangfu didn't say much. He asked a few questions about Chen Nuanjin and Li Baocai before leaving.
He was still a little suspicious. Yi Zhonghai was definitely good at fitter skills in the rolling mill, but he had never heard that Yi Zhonghai could cook.
