Chapter 31 Robbery on the road
When Chen Hong finished getting the meal and turned around, Qin Huairu was gone. Qin Huairu had to go home to feed Xiao Huaihua, so she rushed home after getting the meal.
Qin Huairu hurried back home, entered the courtyard, said hello to the aunt, and went into her own home. When she entered the house, Banggeng was coaxing the child with Xiaodang by the bed, and Jia Zhangshi was watching the child and sewing the soles of shoes by the bed.
"Mom, is Huaihua okay?"
Qin Huairu asked as she handed the lunch box to Jia Zhang.
"It's nothing. He was hungry this morning, so I fed him some milk." Jia Zhang said as she put the food on the table and picked up some pickles.
Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang sat at the table, and the whole family began to eat.
"Huai Ru, which canteen did you get this meal from? It tastes really good." Jia Zhang took a piece of food and put it into her mouth, chewing it with a little surprise. When did this big pot of food taste so good?
"This is the meal I got from the third canteen. It was cooked by Li Shengli from the front yard." Qin Huairu picked up the steamed bun, took a bite, and said as she chewed.
"The boy in the front yard has pretty good skills, almost as good as Sha Zhu." Jia Zhang said in surprise with her triangular eyes wide open.
Jia Zhang chewed her steamed bun and looked at the food on the plate, wondering, "When you got food from that boy, he didn't give you extra food, and this doesn't look like much."
"Hey, don't mention it. I asked him to take care of me, but who knew that Li Shengli was like a blockhead and ignored me." Qin Huairu said with a slightly indignant tone after swallowing the food in her mouth.
"This kid is really a piece of shit. He doesn't know that there are several people in our family who need to eat." Jia Zhang glared at him with her triangular eyes and cursed.
Fortunately, Li Shengli didn't hear this. If she had heard it, she would have spit in his face. It would be better to just put all the blame on her family.
"Next time, don't get your meals from that kid Li Shengli. Go to the canteen to find Sha Zhu. The uncle asked Sha Zhu to take care of our family." Jia Zhang looked shrewd.
"This silly Zhu is a little smart. When the time comes, you can help him clean the house and ask him to take care of you in the factory."
"I'll go check on Sha Zhu tomorrow." Qin Huairu thought seriously while eating. Sha Zhu is easy to fool. It's better for her to eat in the same cafeteria in the future.
After finishing her meal, Qin Huairu quickly fed Xiao Huaihua and then went to work at the factory.
As soon as I entered the workshop and walked to my workstation, Chen Hong came over.
"Huai Ru, you know Chef Li from our third canteen."
After hearing what Chen Hong said, Qin Huairu glanced around and found that everyone was listening with their ears perked up.
At this time, Qin Huairu had not yet realized how hard it was to support a large family. In addition, Jia Dongxu had just passed away, and Qin Huairu's reputation was not yet ruined.
"I know him. We live in the same compound. He lives in the front yard and I live in the middle yard." Qin Huairu said with a smile. Anyway, these people were not very familiar with Li Shengli. If anyone wanted to meet Li Shengli, could she ask for a matchmaker fee?
"Then do you know if Master Li has a girlfriend?" The young female worker who was eavesdropping on the other side also came over and asked.
"No, Li Shengli has been alone in the yard." Qin Huairu calculated in her mind, still with a smile on her face.
"Why, you really plan to do it, girl?" The older female worker who came over from the other side teased the younger female worker with a teasing look on her face.
The young female worker blushed and didn't say much, and everyone gathered around her and laughed.
On the other side, there is the third canteen.
Li Shengli cleaned up the stove, took off his apron and hung it on the hook on the wall. At this time, Liu Xikui came over. "Master, do you know the new female worker who came to the canteen to serve food today?"
Li Shengli glanced at Liu Xikui and said, "Don't think about it. That's not suitable for you."
"Yes, yes, it's more suitable to be with the master." Liu Xikui said obscenely with a fawning smile on the side.
Li Shengli slapped Liu Xikui on the back of the head, neither too hard nor too light.
"Hey, Master, why are you hitting me?" Liu Xikui scratched the back of his head.
"What are you thinking about all day? That is Qin Huairu, Jia Dongxu's wife, the new female worker in the factory that you are obsessed with." Li Shengli glared at Liu Xikui unhappily. Liu Xikui really deserved a beating.
"She, she is the one..." Liu Xikui began to stutter after hearing what Li Shengli said.
"I told you to do some good deeds. Jia Dongxu just died not long ago, and you are already setting your sights on his wife?" Li Shengli said with some regret.
"I didn't expect this." Liu Xikui touched his head aggrievedly. Who could have thought that this was Jia Dongxu's wife.
"However, Qin Huairu is quite pretty." Liu Xikui's expression gradually became abnormal.
"Don't tell others that you know me when you go out. It's embarrassing. Besides, I'm already a mother of three children." Li Shengli looked at Liu Xikui with disdain on his face.
"I didn't say I wanted to marry her, and it's not illegal if you think about it." Liu Xikui looked disapproving, his tone slightly vulgar.
Li Shengli shook his head and said nothing more. If Liu Xikui continued like this, sooner or later he would become a fish in Qin Huairu's fish pond. He could not say anything, and he would know when he hit a wall.
After finishing work in the canteen at night, he put the remaining steamed buns in a basin to sell the next morning. After cleaning up the kitchen, it was already late, and Li Shengli walked home slowly.
When passing by a remote alley, I heard sneaky voices coming from inside.
"Be quiet, don't move, and hand over all the money and tickets in your pocket." A low, vicious voice came from inside.
Wow, something is happening. Li Shengli's heart tightened. He had never seen such a situation before.
Li Shengli stopped and held his breath, afraid of attracting the attention of the people inside.
"That's right, be quiet and don't make any noise. We two brothers just want to find something to spend money on, but we don't want to kill anyone." Another deliberately low voice came from the alley, "The knives in our hands don't have eyes."
Li Shengli paused, retracted his steps that were about to step into the alley, looked around, and gently placed the net bag containing the lunch box at the entrance of the alley. Then Li Shengli found a wooden stick as thick as an arm at the foot of the wall.
Li Shengli picked up the stick and quietly poked his head out from the edge of the wall.
"Don't, don't, don't use the knife, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you." Another stuttering voice came from inside.
Li Shengli poked his head out and saw a man who didn't look very young being squeezed against the wall by two men holding daggers. One of his hands was trembling as he was about to take something out of his pocket.
Li Shengli stood on tiptoe and quietly walked behind the two men, raised his hand and raised the wooden stick high, ready to hit them.
It seemed like he had just seen Li Shengli. The middle-aged man who was squeezed in the corner was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out. Seeing the expression of the man being robbed, the two robbers were stunned for a moment. Is there something wrong with this guy?
