Chapter 65 Start of Construction

Holiday time always slips away quietly. Li Shengli looked at the calendar hanging on the wall. Today is the 19th. Li Shengli always feels that time passes inexplicably fast. He hasn't done anything and it's time to go to work again.

The next morning, at around five o'clock, Li Shengli rode his bicycle to work. The good thing about having a bicycle is that he can sleep a little longer every day.

Arriving at the factory, Li Shengli parked his bicycle, lifted the curtain hanging at the entrance of the cafeteria and walked in. Today was his first day at work, so the logistics had to arrive at the factory early to prepare.

"Good morning, everyone. Happy New Year." Li Shengli walked in with a smile. The masters who were working the early shift had almost arrived.

"Good morning, Shengli, and Happy New Year." Everyone responded with a smile.

"Master, good morning. Happy New Year." This is the apprentice Liu Xikui.

"Okay, everyone is almost here. Shengli, take two people to the warehouse to get the vegetables and rice and flour we will use today. Master Yang, take two people to clean up the kitchen. Yao Qin, the rest of you clean the cafeteria." Wang Tiezhu assigned tasks to everyone.

"Xikui, Jianjun, follow me." Li Shengli nodded and called Liu Xikui and another kitchen helper.

Liu Xikui and another kitchen helper Sun Jianjun responded and followed Li Shengli to the warehouse.

"Happy New Year, Lao Wang." Li Shengli came to the warehouse and greeted Lao Wang who was on duty in the warehouse.

"It's Shengli. Happy New Year." Old Wang, who was watching the warehouse, was dozing off with his eyes closed. When he heard Li Shengli's voice, he stood up, stretched, and greeted him lazily.

"Come on, Lao Wang, let me get some ingredients for the canteen." Li Shengli handed over the note given by the director.

"Okay, come with me." Lao Wang took the note, glanced at it, and motioned for the three to follow him.

When he arrived at the warehouse door, Lao Wang took out the key and opened the warehouse door.

"Everything is inside." Old Wang walked in while checking the list in his hand, signaling Li Shengli and others to take the things according to the list.

"There are vegetables, flour and rice here." Lao Wang finally perked up.

"Okay, then let's take what's inside first." Li Shengli nodded. He often came to the warehouse, so he roughly knew where things were placed in the warehouse.

Li Shengli took Liu Xikui and Sun Jianjun to get everything on the list. The three of them said hello to Lao Wang and returned to the cafeteria with their things.

When Li Shengli and the other two returned to the kitchen, it had already been cleaned.

After a morning of work, some listless workers came to the kitchen at noon following the smell.

"You know what, I've been thinking about the meal in our canteen for such a long time." A worker in the queue smelled the familiar smell of the canteen and couldn't help but smiled and said to the worker next to him.

"Are you thinking about the food in the cafeteria? You are thinking about the dishes cooked by Chef Li." Another worker complained.

This person went to the home of the worker who spoke earlier to eat. How should I put it? The food in his home was edible, but the taste was hard to describe. Although the food in the factory was cooked in a big pot, the taste was different after being cooked by Li Shengli.

The older people queuing in the line and those with daughters were watching Lee Seung-ri getting his food and wondering if they could let their daughters spend some time with Lee Seung-ri.

I wonder how Li Shengli would feel if he knew that people in the factory were targeting him.

After lunch, it was time for Li Shengli to get off work. When he returned to the courtyard, he found that the courtyard was bustling with activity. "Third Aunt, what's going on?" Li Shengli saw that there was something exciting to watch and hurried over. Without knowing the cause and effect, Li Shengli decisively pulled the third aunt who was watching the excitement.

"Oh, Seungri is back." The third aunt felt someone pulling her and she tilted her head and saw Li Seungri.

"Seungri, you're back." When Auntie saw Li Seungri, she realized that a long time had passed.

"Yes, Third Aunt, what happened?" Li Shengli asked again for fear that Third Aunt didn't hear it.

"Oh, that's what happened. Banggeng had a fight with someone. It was a very fierce fight. His face was bruised and swollen." The third aunt said with some joy.

"Aunt Zhang is cursing loudly. It's only because Qin Huairu is not here right now, otherwise she would have come to the door long ago." The third aunt said with some gloating.

Li Shengli raised his eyebrows. It was just a small matter. When he had a conflict with others when he was a child, he didn't go home and tell his parents.

Li Shengli watched for a while and felt that it was boring and prepared to go back. What was the point of listening to Jia Zhang's scolding?

Li Shengli returned to the front yard. At this time, an auntie walked in from the door. She didn't look particularly old, probably around fifty years old. She was holding a child who looked older than Bang Geng.

"Hello, comrade. Does Banggeng live in this courtyard?" Seeing that Li Shengli was looking at her curiously, the aunt asked Li Shengli politely.

"Yes, in the central courtyard." Li Shengli looked at the two men curiously. Seeing some scars on the little boy's face, Li Shengli immediately understood. It seemed that this was the child who was beaten with a stick.

No wonder Bang Geng couldn’t beat it, this guy is obviously bigger than Bang Geng.

"This kid is the one who got beaten with a stick, right? Are you two the only ones here?" Seeing the two people preparing to go to the central courtyard, Li Shengli couldn't help but say something more when he saw that the aunt was quite polite.

"Yes, my grandson said the wrong thing and hit someone, so I brought him here to apologize." The aunt looked at the child with a blaming look.

"I suggest you wait a while before going over. People are very angry right now." Li Shengli gestured to the two of them. At this moment, there was a lot of cursing in the Intermediate Court.

"This..." The auntie couldn't stand it anymore. Although she was not well educated, she had never seen anyone curse like that in the street.

"I'm not saying that if you go there now, your two families will definitely quarrel." Li Shengli didn't know who was right or wrong between the two children, but since the aunt was quite polite, he gave an idea.

"Well, you take the child back first. There is a manager in your courtyard, right? You tell the manager about the matter and then ask him to bring the child and his parents over." Li Shengli thought that if this man went directly to Jia Zhang, they might even start a fight.

"When the time comes, you can go directly to the person in charge of our hospital. This little conflict can be easily resolved. You will know from what you heard that this Bang Geng's grandmother is not an easy person to deal with." Li Shengli said it clearly.

"Thank you, comrade." The aunt said to Li Shengli gratefully, and patted the child with her hand, "Look at what you have done."

The half-grown child bit his lip and said nothing.

"Why is your child having a conflict with Banggeng?" Li Shengli was a little curious. It seemed that this aunt's tutoring would not raise a bad child.

"It's this kid who learned swear words from others and said that Banggeng is a fatherless child. He was pushed by Banggeng, and then he beat Banggeng up." The aunt said in a tone of disappointment.

"You are so awesome." Li Shengli said in amazement. This was like rubbing salt into someone's wound. Fortunately, he persuaded them to bring the manager of the courtyard over in the evening. If he went there now, it would be strange if he was not caught by Jia Zhang.
