Chapter 108 Sports Day (Part )
When it was almost time to get off work in the morning, the factory gave out rewards to the winners decided in the morning.

The morning's competition ended with lively discussions, and in the afternoon there were group activities and some longer projects.

After finishing their work in the kitchen, Li Shengli and others came to the playground under the leadership of Xu Weimin.

The playground was already full of people. The tug-of-war teams were divided into two groups, male and female. As an activity involving the entire factory, there were 32 teams of boys and 16 teams of girls.

Sixteen hemp ropes with red cloth tied in the middle were laid horizontally on the playground.

"Director, this is really spectacular!" Wang Tiezhu couldn't help but sigh as he saw each rope was surrounded by workers.

As the saying goes, "There is no limit to the number of people who have passed."

There were several thousand people in the playground of this steel mill, which looked quite scary.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and lead the team over there quickly." Xu Weimin patted Wang Tiezhu and instructed several chef squad leaders to lead the contestants from each class to the designated location.

Wang Tiezhu curled his lips and gathered the contestants from his class and other people from the kitchen to walk towards the competition venue.

After a draw, the workers from workshop three would compete with the chefs in the first round.

"Old Xu, how are you guys preparing?" The workshop director of the third workshop said to Xu Weimin proudly, "We have been well trained."

"So what if you've been trained? Don't you see what our team does?" Xu Weimin looked at the workshop director of the third workshop with disdain. He didn't see that our team are all cooks. You usually don't have enough to eat and have no strength. Are you as strong as us cooks?
The workshop director of the third workshop obviously knew this. Besides, there was no big and strong person in his workshop, so he said this just to save face.

As time passed, Li Shengli and other chefs participating in the competition came to the edge of the rope. Wang Tiezhu arranged the fattest person to stand at the back as a weight, and the others lined up in the front, including Li Shengli and Sha Zhu.

With the sound of the whistle, the game began. The opponent in the first round was not very strong. Li Shengli and the people behind him worked together and slowly pulled the opponent over with the sound of "one, two, one, two".

"See, I told you that your workshop is not good enough." Xu Weimin looked at the workshop director of the third workshop proudly.

"You guys are awesome this time." The workshop director of workshop three actually didn't hold out much hope. How could this guy have the energy if he didn't have enough food to eat?

Next, the canteen group won all the rounds and soon reached the semi-finals. Their opponent in the semi-finals was the second workshop where the second uncle Liu Haizhong was.

Looking at Liu Haizhong, who was at the edge of the rope on the opposite side and tied the rope around his waist, Li Shengli was quite impressed. He was so old, yet he was still playing tug-of-war with the young guys. Could it be that their director thought that Liu Haizhong was the heaviest?

"come on!"

"come on!"

The workers kept cheering for the team they supported, and the subsequent result was exactly as Li Shengli had expected. They still won, but it was not an easy win. After all, the figure in Liu Haizhong was there and looked very heavy. In the end, the chef team narrowly won with a score of 2 to 1.

The final competition was between the chef team and the foundry workshop. This time, Li Shengli and his team were not so lucky. Their opponents were very strong. Although none of them were very fat, they were generally stronger.

As expected, the chef team did not have the last laugh this time. They lost to the foundry workshop with a score of one to two. In the end, the foundry workshop won the first place. After all, the workers in the foundry workshop do the most tiring and heaviest work every day.

"Squad leader, how was your table tennis game?" After the tug-of-war game, Li Shengli came to the table tennis table.

"I'm eliminated. His skills are much better than mine." Wang Tiezhu said indifferently. "Squad leader, you need to practice more." Li Shengli teased.

"Practice, I'll practice with you first." Wang Tiezhu was a little angry at first, but after hearing what Li Shengli said, he started to chase Li Shengli.

Soon, all the events were completed.

The awards for the afternoon competition were also distributed, and the people who presented the awards were all leaders of all ranks in the factory.

Finally, with the music on the radio, this steel rolling mill sports meeting came to a successful conclusion, and Director Yang gave a closing speech on the stage.

After a day's exercise, Li Shengli felt a little tired. He took the rewards he got today, two enamel basins, an enamel pot, and two towels. Li Shengli couldn't help feeling a little distressed. How could he use so many things by himself?

Li Shengli was riding a bicycle with a basin tied tightly to the back seat with a rope. Whenever the bicycle hit a slightly bumpy spot, the back seat would make a rattling sound.

Along the way, pedestrians saw the basin on Li Shengli's bicycle with envy. Everyone knew that the steel rolling mill was going to hold a sports meeting, and looking at Li Shengli's expression, he must have won a prize.

"Hey, Shengli, that's great. Bring back two basins." Yan Bugui had heard about who had won an award in the yard a long time ago, and he came here to see if Li Shengli had anything he didn't want.

"Yes, Third Uncle, you've worked so hard that I'm sweating. I won't chat with you anymore. I'll go back and wash up first." Li Shengli didn't know what Yan Bugui was thinking, and he didn't want to care. He had been busy all day and was a little tired.

"Wait a minute, Shengli, you are the only one in this courtyard who won the award, don't you plan to celebrate?" There was a calculating gleam in Yan Bugui's eyes. What he meant was that Li Shengli should treat the three uncles in the courtyard to a meal, or at least treat himself, the third uncle.

"You must be kidding, Uncle Third. There's nothing to celebrate." Li Shengli looked at Yan Bugui as if to say, "Is there nothing wrong with you?"

"Isn't this also an honor?" Yan Bugui said shamelessly.

"That's not necessary. I earned this honor myself and it has nothing to do with you." Li Shengli understood that Yan Bugui wanted to have a free meal.

After saying that, Li Shengli locked the car, unloaded the things on the seat, and prepared to take the things home.

"Shengli, if you don't want the basins and teacups you replaced, just give them to me." Yan Bugui shouted behind Li Shengli. It seemed that Yan Bugui had set his sights on his basins again.

Li Shengli put the teacup into the cupboard and the basin under the bed. These things were all new and he would keep them for use when he got married.

In the evening, Li Shengli finished his dinner. He had to take a shower tonight because he had a date the next day.

Li Shengli came to the bathhouse under the steel rolling mill with his change of clothes. After paying the bath ticket, Li Shengli came to the men's bathhouse. There were quite a lot of people there at the moment, probably all of them were going out tomorrow.

"Master Li, you come to take a bath too." Most of the people in the bathhouse were workers from the steel rolling mill, and they greeted Li Shengli when they saw him.

Lee Seung-ri is quite popular. He cooks delicious dishes and doesn't shake the spoon when serving rice. Compared with other chefs, he is already very good.

Li Shengli said hello to everyone else, changed his clothes in front of the wardrobe and took a nice bath. This bath made him feel relaxed all over.
