Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

Chapter 390 1 body righteousness

"Big, hug."

At noon, as soon as Xu Damao and Xu Ruyi entered the office, the little girl opened her arms and ran straight to Liu Guozheng.

"Hey, Xiao Ruyi, slow down, slow down."

"Giggle."

She suddenly threw herself into Liu Guozheng's arms and was lifted high up by Liu Guozheng. The little girl was so happy that she went crazy.

"Brother Zheng, I have discovered that both you and sister-in-law are popular with children."

Xu Damao felt a little jealous because his own girl had never been so affectionate to him.

Holding Xu Ruyi, Liu Guozheng said arrogantly: "This shows that your sister-in-law and I are upright, so the children will naturally like us."

"real or fake?"

"Yes, Brother Zheng, you are not kidding me."

Xu Damao and Li Dabao were a little skeptical.

"You don't understand. Children are definitely the ones with the purest hearts and the most sensitive to their surroundings. To put it bluntly, positive energy is something like a magnetic field that makes people feel comfortable. So as long as children like to play with you, even if you don't get rich in this life, you will be healthy and free from disasters."

While Liu Guozheng was explaining to the two of them, he was feeding little Ruyi, occasionally some beef balls and occasionally some meat jerky. The little girl's mouth never stopped eating.

Looking at his daughter being fed, Xu Damao said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, are you sure you are not using snacks to attract the child?"

"Hahaha, I think so too."

Li Dabao was also happy, and so was her daughter. Whenever she was at home, she would definitely hang around Liu Guozheng or Lou Xiaoe, because the two of them were never short of sugar and snacks.

"What do you two know? Forget it. I can't explain it to you either."

Liu Guozheng carried the little girl back to the living room.

"Brother Zheng, is it time to cook?"

Xu Damao was a little hungry. When he got home, his mother had almost prepared dinner, but she didn't make his portion because she knew that Xu Damao would only come home for dinner during holidays or when Liu Guozheng was not in the office.

"Then ask Xiao Ruyi what she likes to eat."

"Big brother, I want to eat braised pork, braised fish, and candied apples."

The little girl was not polite. Her grandmother seldom made these things for her. She could only eat them at the office or occasionally when she went to the village.

"Girl, why don't you go home with me tonight?"

"Does everyone have anything delicious?"

"Of course I have. Are the beef cubes you eat delicious?"

"Hmm, delicious."

“Is the fudge delicious?”

"Yes."

"Where's the juice?"

"I love to drink."

"Where are the hawthorn strips?"

"I would also like."

"Everyone has them at home."

"Big brother, let's go quickly."

Xu Ruyi couldn't wait any longer and pulled Liu Guozheng to leave.

"Haha, this girl is still a little foodie."

"Brother Zheng, I hope it's not too late to regret now. What should I do if Ruyi goes to the village and gets spoiled?"

"What should I do? Cold dish, are you short of this little money?"

"This is not about money, okay? We need to cultivate children's spirit of hard work and perseverance."

"Get out of here, kid. Why do we work every day? Apart from ourselves, it is for our children to suffer less and live a good life. We can't force our children to suffer if there is no hardship. Do you understand?"

"I understand. I'm just worried that my child will grow up to be a fool. If that happens, I'll raise a bunch of second-generation rich kids. That would be terrible."

"As long as you don't teach your child in a crooked way, he won't grow up in a crooked way. Of course, you can't just spoil him blindly."

"I won't say anything more. You are the boss, so you are always right."

"Haha, you kid, just look after Xiao Ruyi. I'm going to go cook. It's my turn to do this for you, too."

Liu Guozheng went to the kitchen. As soon as he arrived, the little girl followed him and said that she wanted to help him. There was no choice but to ask Xu Damao to come and boil the pot and watch the little girl to prevent her from getting burned by the fire.

"Big brother, is this braised pork? It smells so good."

"Big brother, let me try a piece of apple first."

"I want to eat bananas"

"Big brother..."

Several people finally understood that this girl wanted to eat enough at once.

For lunch, I made braised pork, braised fish, fried pork liver and chicken offal, a plate of beef head, shredded potatoes and spicy cabbage, and finally the desserts were candied apples and candied bananas.

Also having dinner together were Huang Qiuxia and Zheng Jiandong. They had sent their children to New Hope School when the storm started in May, so they didn't have to worry about their children learning bad things.

During their breaks, the two would go to Hope Village to visit their children. Since the office now has a two-day weekend system, the two would have more time to spend with their children.

When working, both of them are dedicated. The first thing they do every day is to clean the place, inside and out. They have no other skills and can only express their gratitude to Liu Guozheng and the office with their actions.

"Big brother, I want to eat candied bananas."

"Big brother, I also want to eat candied apples"

During the meal, the little girl sat next to Liu Guozheng the whole time, and when there was something she couldn't reach, she would call Dada.

"belch.."

When the little girl came, she had snacks all the time. She would be full after just a few bites, and then she could only hold her stomach and watch others eat.

"Xiao Ruyi, do you want to eat snacks before dinner next time?"

"Eat, um... um, no, I won't eat it anymore. It's stopping me from eating the candied apples and bananas."

The little girl pouted and kept staring at the apples and bananas on the table, but her stomach was already full, so she could only run away to play by herself. Out of sight, out of mind.

"Brother Jiandong, have another drink."

"Guozheng, I don't want to drink anymore. I don't want to drink anymore."

Having said that, Zheng Jiandong put down the wine glass. He knew that he still had to go to work in the afternoon, and it would be embarrassing if he really drank too much.

Zheng Jiandong is very satisfied with his current life, so he tries his best not to make mistakes during working hours. He definitely cannot drink too much alcohol, but he can still drink a little more at night.

After dinner, they chatted for a while and then it was time to go to work, so Huang Qiuxia and Zheng Jiandong went to the stall in front.

Xu Damao and Li Dabao also went to the factory respectively. They had to go, especially when there were meetings. Otherwise, they would most likely be criticized by the whole factory and accused of being lazy in thinking and not seeking progress.

Many factories have now cancelled their rest days one after another. This was not an order from above, but rather a suggestion from some overly active and radical people, and most people agree with it.

Before the storm started, Xu Damao would drive his small car to the factory from time to time to show off. Now he doesn't dare to do that, for fear of being labeled as a typical hedonist.

The same is true for Li Dabao. In the past, he would only go to the office once at the beginning and end of a month. Most of the time he was either in the village or in the office. As long as he completed his tasks every month, it was fine.

It is no longer possible now. We have to go every day, rain or shine. The amount of meat purchased each month has also begun to decrease, because some people, either because they are too full or have too little time, have begun to advocate recalling the bitter past and thinking of the sweet past. The factory canteen even serves two meals recalling the bitter past from time to time, and the logistics leaders all agree, and even cut the purchasing funds at one point.

Li Dabao had no choice but to go with the flow. He basically did not hand in any meat every month, only cornmeal. From time to time, he would bring back some wild vegetables. There were not many other things in the mountains, but wild vegetables. Although he was not satisfied, the factory leaders could do nothing about it. After all, this was their own request.

Less than half a month passed, and those leaders who had suggested recalling the past hard times and thinking of the present could no longer hold on and tried to get Li Dabao to bring back more meat every month. However, they didn't expect that Li Dabao would get angry and say, "Fuck you, if you want to eat meat, ask other purchasing agents to get it for you."

From then on, Li Dabao only handed in corn flour every month, and occasionally some dried vegetables. Even if the assigned purchasing task included meat, Li Dabao would rather choose not to complete the task but still purchase it.

The factory leaders had no choice but to accept it.
