There is a popular saying in Jichun City: A good girl will not marry her husband alone.
This shows how unpopular phototype films are.
But in the eyes of Guangzi film makers, there is an even more unpopular place, and that is Taiping Hutong.
Taiping Hutong is next to Guangzi Film, and it is a dirtier, worse, and messier place than Guangzi Film.
Most of the people who live there are unregistered households without registered permanent residence, and they have no real jobs. Their houses are just adobe houses built casually, and most of them have no property rights.
Not having a household registration means not having a job. It is very difficult to live in the city without a job, so many women living in Taiping Hutong are engaged in the flesh business.
Li Suhua has no objection to Taiping Hutong, but she is worried that her son will be deceived by some unscrupulous women due to his young age.
"Kun'er, why did you go to Taiping Hutong?" Li Suhua asked with a worried look.
Wang Gang folded a corner of the book, then closed it and put it on the kang table, and said: "Mom, I have never been to Taiping Hutong, but today I met a person who lives in Taiping Hutong."
Li Suhua frowned and said, "Who is he? Did you just meet him today?"
Wang Gang nodded and said, "He's a candied haws seller."
Wang Gang told the situation about Zheng Juan's family. When Li Suhua heard that Zheng Juan's family had an elderly mother and a blind brother, her brows did not lift.
"You met them for the first time today, how do you know them so clearly?" Li Suhua asked.
"Zheng Juan's family is very famous in Taiping Hutong. I found out as soon as I inquired about it," Wang Gang said.
"Zheng Juan is actually an orphan. She was picked up by Mrs. Zheng. Her younger brother is also an orphan." Wang Gang said.
Li Suhua asked with a stern face: "Zheng Juan's family background is too complicated, you'd better not have any contact with her in the future."
Wang Gang asked in confusion: "Mom, do you still dislike being poor and prefer being rich?"
Li Suhua hit Wang Gang and said, "Is your mother that kind of person? It's just that Zheng Juan's family burden is too heavy. If you marry her, you will suffer in the future."
It is not uncommon for mothers to hope that their children will find a good match.
"Mom, I think family conditions are not the most important thing when marrying a wife, but a person's character is important." Wang Gang held Li Suhua's arm and said:
"Just like you and dad, the conditions were not good at the beginning, so you couldn't build this family through hard work and hard work."
Li Suhua held Wang Gang's hand and said, "Kun'er, it's precisely because your father and I have suffered so much that I hope you brothers can be more stable."
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Mom, you have never heard of a saying that only through hardship can one become a master. If we have been under the wings of you and Dad, what can we achieve?"
Li Suhua said: "Mom hasn't read any books, so I can't help you with the truth, but this matter is definitely not going to work, and your father won't be able to get through it."
Wang Gang was not worried at all and said: "Mom, I think so. As long as the person is good, birth is not important. I still have three years to get married. You can use three years to inspect Zheng Juan."
chant!"
When Li Suhua heard this, her expression suddenly improved a lot.
"Kun'er, don't imitate your sister."
Wang Gang said: "Mom, don't worry! I'm not such an unreliable person."
Li Suhua didn't believe it, she was young too.
"When you have time, bring the girl named Zheng Juan to your home and let mom take a good look at her."
Wang Gang said perfunctorily: "Let's wait for a while! I just met her today."
Only then did Li Suhua react and asked: "Son, isn't it you who has unrequited love? He doesn't like you at all?"
"How is it possible? Your son and I are so good."
Li Suhua thought about it, how could a woman from Taiping Hutong not have a crush on my son?
The next day, Wang Gang went to work as usual and went to the canteen to prepare the factory director's lunch.
At almost noon, the canteen director Su Lie came to the small canteen to look for Wang Gang.
"Xiao Zhou, there is a reception task tonight. You have to prepare for it. It's a standard for eight people."
"Okay, director, I'll get ready right away." Wang Gang agreed without caring.
"Xiao Zhou, the guests tonight are very important, do you understand?" Su Lie whispered.
"Don't worry, director, I will use all my skills to make sure the guests are satisfied with their meal." Wang Gang vowed.
"I have confidence in your craftsmanship." Su Lie smiled with satisfaction.
"Director, I stewed a duck for lunch and kept a portion for you to take away later." Wang Gang took out a lunch box and handed it to Su Lie.
"Is it crispy duck?" Su Lie's eyes lit up and he took the lunch box.
"I've changed the method this time and asked the director to taste it." Wang Gang said with a smile.
Su Liexiao's eyes narrowed into slits.
In the past half month, Wang Gang has almost become naughty, and he has changed his tricks every day to make delicious food.
Now let Su Lie go to the big cafeteria to eat those cabbage and potatoes. It is really hard for him to swallow, and the food cooked by his mother-in-law when he returns home is not to his liking.
"Okay, I'll try the dishes later and give you an evaluation." Su Lie happily took the lunch box and prepared to go back to his office to enjoy it.
Wang Gang has long understood the faces of these leaders and is not surprised at all.
In the past, in the Siheyuan World, the steel rolling mill also had a canteen, and He Yuzhu was in charge of it.
Leaders using power for personal gain have been common throughout the ages, which is why he was able to thrive in the lumber factory.
Others in the canteen turned a blind eye when they saw Wang Gang blatantly bribing Su Lie with delicious food. Who said they were not as capable as him?
At noon, the factory director spoke highly of Wang Gang's stewed duck. He was extremely satisfied with the meal. His mouth was so oily that he almost chewed the bones and swallowed it.
After lunch, Wang Gang was free. He had already made a list of the ingredients that needed to be prepared in the evening and handed them to another chef to prepare.
Zhang Dazui is fifty-three years old this year. He has studied cooking for several years, but unfortunately he is not good at it. He used to work in the canteen of the lumber factory and was just fine.
As soon as Wang Gang arrived, his authentic Sichuan cooking skills immediately rivaled him.
Originally, I was dissatisfied when I opened my mouth, and I was planning to team up with another chef to give Wang Gang a try.
As a result, before he could take action, Wang Gang used his tactics to transfer another chef to the canteen.
Now he opened his mouth and acted honestly, he didn't dare to underestimate Wang Gang anymore.
The big cafeteria is responsible for the food for hundreds of workers in the whole factory. Even though the work is hard, there is still very little oil and water.
Zhang Dazui is getting older, and he can retire after a few more years of work, so he has no intention of fighting with Wang Gang.
Wang Gang saw that Zhang Dazui was honest, so he didn't punish him and let him continue working in the canteen. The two of them worked together happily.
As for the other three workers in the cafeteria, they all knew well and knew that Wang Gang was very skilled at his craftsmanship and was being favored and could not afford to offend him.
In the evening, Wang Gang prepared a table of delicious dishes for the factory leaders, including chicken, duck, and fish.
Even with such a table of dishes, the average worker would not be able to eat even one plate a year.
But the leader of the lumber factory felt so at ease that he could not wait to eat and take some.
The factory director was even more stuffed with food.
Wang Gang also took the opportunity to get a lunch box of vegetables and secretly threw it into the space. No one could find it.
This lunch box craftsmanship is inherited from He Yuzhu in the courtyard world.
Silly Zhu is very capable. He can narrow down a quarter of a chicken without letting anyone see it.
Wang Gang doesn't have that ability, but it's still easy to pick out a lunch box from a table of vegetables.
The reception task ends at eight o'clock in the evening, and Wang Gang can go home from get off work, so naturally he doesn't need to clean up the mess.
After returning home, Wang Gang took out the lunch box. He originally wanted to feed his mother some meat, but he couldn't let his son eat meat, while my mother drank porridge at home.
"Bingkun, why are you taking things from the government again?" Li Suhua immediately became unhappy when she saw the lunch box.
"Mom, I didn't get this. It was given by the master of the cafeteria. It can be regarded as an invisible benefit of the cafeteria." Wang Gang explained.
"Master gave it to me?" Li Suhua said in confusion: "These are all good meat, good vegetables, and fish!"
Wang Gang said: "The factory has hospitality tasks, and those of us in the kitchen can share some, so you can eat with peace of mind!"
Li Suhua felt relieved and said to Wang Gang: "Mom has eaten tonight, it's up to you to eat it!"
Wang Gang smiled and said: "I must have come back after eating!"
Li Suhua slapped her forehead and said, "Yes, yes, my son is still hungry when he works in the kitchen? Mom is confused."
Wang Gang pushed the lunch box in front of Li Suhua, but Li Suhua's eyes turned red.
"In the past, when your dad was at home, we couldn't eat this delicious dish during the Chinese New Year!"
Wang Gang was silent, the conditions of the Zhou family were really difficult, otherwise they wouldn't be able to live alone.
In fact, the Zhou family is already considered to be in a good position in Guangzhou. Zhou Zhigang is an eighth-level bricklayer and earns a monthly salary of 99 yuan. However, he has to save some money to support a family of five on his own salary.
"Mom, things are getting better at home now. My dad, my brother and I all get paid. Don't worry, our Zhou family will get better and better."
Li Suhua nodded and said, "Yes, you are right, our family will get better and better."
