One morning, Zheng Da Ma’s mood was very good.
Since she learned that she was pregnant, she has been excited and happy.
With a good mood, she worked with efficiency.
She washed the vegetables quickly and cleanly.
At this time, Sha Zhu was stir-frying dishes.
Today’s big pot dish was no different from usual, there was oil, but not much.
But compared to the homes of most of the factory’s workers, the factory’s food still had more oil.
When Sha Zhu was cooking, some people also wanted to secretly learn.
For a cook, culinary skills are the most important.
Only with good culinary skills can one have the most confidence.
And Sha Zhu’s culinary skills are recognized as good in the factory.
It’s no exaggeration to say that, at present, no one in the factory has better culinary skills than Sha Zhu.
Therefore, whenever there is a reception in the factory, Sha Zhu is asked to be the head chef.
Zheng Da Ma glanced at Sha Zhu who was cooking, and shook her head.
Since she started working at the factory and was in the same canteen as Sha Zhu, Zheng Da Ma had also observed him.
Sha Zhu’s culinary skills are good, but he’s just too ‘temperamental’. If Sha Zhu could be a bit more tactful, he would definitely be much better than he is now, it’s highly possible that he would be a level higher than his current level as a cook.
However, there is no use saying it.
However, with his good cooking skills, Sha Zhu is also quite comfortable.
Even the canteen director is more polite to Sha Zhu. What if Sha Zhu leaves his job? Would the factory director and deputy factory director be polite to the canteen director?
And if the canteen’s big pot dishes become unappetizing, the workers would also be dissatisfied.
Once the workers riot, even the factory director would panic!
In this era, the workers’ status is very high.
Therefore, even though some leaders in the factory dislike Sha Zhu, they can’t do anything about him.
It is impossible to fire Sha Zhu. As long as Sha Zhu doesn’t make any mistakes, who can fire him?
After all, in this era, it is not easy to fire workers at will.
However, it is possible to transfer him. For example, they can transfer Sha Zhu to the workshop to do hard labor, or to sweep the toilets. But doing so would mean losing a good cook. With Sha Zhu’s temperament, it would be difficult to get him back to the canteen.
After washing the vegetables in her hands, Zheng Da Ma became idle.
When Sha Zhu finished cooking, after waiting for a while, some workers came to the canteen with their lunch boxes.
As time passed, the number of workers coming to the canteen to eat increased.
At this time, Yi Zhong Hai and Jia Dong Xu also came to the canteen together.
Seeing Yi Zhong Hai’s smiling face, it was clear that he was in a good mood.
That’s right, Yi Zhong Hai’s mood was indeed quite good. Although Jia Dong Xu was still reluctant to call him ‘Dad’, he seemed to be accepting him a little.
In addition, Jia Dong Xu’s qian gong skills had also improved, and it was unlikely for him to fail to pass the level two qian gong exam this year.
“?” Yi Zhong Hai looked at the kitchen in confusion. He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but it felt like a few people in the kitchen were looking at him with strange looks.
At this time, Yi Zhong Hai noticed that Sha Zhu was also looking at him.
What made Yi Zhong Hai frown was that in Sha Zhu’s eyes…
Sympathy?
For a moment, Yi Zhong Hai was confused. He planned to ask Sha Zhu about it later.
Sha Zhu, who was serving food to the workers, was indeed looking at Yi Zhong Hai.
He did feel sympathy for Yi Zhong Hai.
After all, everyone had always said that Yi Zhong Hai’s ex-wife couldn’t give birth, but now she’s pregnant.
It’s clear whether it’s Zheng Da Ma who can’t give birth or Yi Zhong Hai who’s unable to, it’s very clear.
Because he had a good relationship with Yi Zhong Hai, Sha Zhu didn’t want him to know too soon.
It’s certain that once Yi Zhong Hai finds out, his mentality will definitely collapse.
Not only Yi Zhong Hai, anyone would feel unbearable in his shoes.
The people in the kitchen all knew that Zheng Da Ma was pregnant and that she was Yi Zhong Hai’s ex-wife.
For now, no one had told Yi Zhong Hai.
Zheng Da Ma also didn’t want to show off to Yi Zhong Hai that she was pregnant. After all, they were husband and wife, and it’s good to part ways peacefully.
“Zhuzi, is everything okay?” Yi Zhong Hai cut in line and soon came to the window. He then asked Sha Zhu.
“Everything is fine, what would you like to eat, Yi Da Ye?” Sha Zhu changed the subject.
Yi Zhong Hai frowned.
Perhaps someone in the factory was spreading rumors that he was Dong Xu’s real father? Or was it that he was having an affair with Jia Zhang Shi?
So, Yi Zhong Hai didn’t think much of it.
Although these ‘rumors’ had affected his reputation, there was no way to stop people from talking.
Apparently, Yi Zhong Hai didn’t think his ex-wife would be pregnant.
In Yi Zhong Hai’s understanding, his ex-wife was infertile, and it was impossible for him to be the problem.
After looking at the dishes for the day, Yi Zhong Hai smiled, “Give me 1 portion of bai cai, 1 portion of tu dou, and a luobo. Oh right, 5 er he mian man tou. ”
“5 man tou? Can you finish them?” Sha Zhu was also surprised.
Yi Zhong Hai didn’t say anything. In reality, he only ate 2, and intended to give 3 to Jia Dong Xu.
Soon, Sha Zhu also reacted.
Yi Zhong Hai has always been good to Jia Dong Xu, taking care of him in various ways.
When Jia Dong Xu encountered trouble, Yi Zhong Hai would also think of ways to help.
Even for Jia Dong Xu’s wedding, Yi Zhong Hai helped a lot.
When Jia Dong Xu married Qin Huai Ru, the Jia family also bought a sewing machine.
Even this year, buying a sewing machine is not easy.
If it weren’t for Yi Zhong Hai’s help, would the Jia family have been able to buy a sewing machine so early?
Now, the Jia family is getting better and better.
If Jia Dong Xu passes the level two qian gong exam, it wouldn’t be too far away before they could buy a bicycle!
Of course, Yi Zhong Hai didn’t directly buy a bicycle or a watch for Jia Dong Xu.
…
“Dong Xu, when you pass the level two gong, I’ll give you some money to buy a bicycle,” Yi Zhong Hai said to Jia Dong Xu as they ate together in the canteen.
Hearing Yi Zhong Hai’s words, Jia Dong Xu immediately looked happy.
Having a sewing machine at home made Jia Dong Xu quite happy, but his mother and wife were the happiest.
Compared to a sewing machine, Jia Dong Xu wanted a bicycle more.
But bicycles are not cheap!
Moreover, even with money, it’s not easy to buy one.
There are just too few bicycles, and there are too many people who want to buy them. It’s a case of supply not meeting demand!
Even old bicycles, as long as they can ride, even if they are rusty, or missing some parts, or even deformed, are very popular.
However, if he were to buy a bicycle, Jia Dong Xu still wanted to buy a better one, ideally a new one.
“Master, I will definitely pass the level two gong,” Jia Dong Xu said confidently.
…
Nan Luo Gu Xiang.
An older woman from No. 91 courtyard in the alley met the second older woman from No. 95 courtyard and they chatted for a while, mentioning Zheng Da Ma’s pregnancy.
“What?” Er Da Ma was stunned.
‘Yi Da Ma’ couldn’t give birth? How is she pregnant?
This…
So, they wronged ‘Yi Da Ma’ all those years?
“Is it true?” Er Da Ma was still skeptical.
“Of course I’m not lying to you. She’s really pregnant. We all wronged Zheng Jie back then. It wasn’t that she couldn’t have children, but that Yi Zhong Hai couldn’t.”
Er Da Ma didn’t know what to say.
After parting ways, Er Da Ma went back to the courtyard.
Seeing the people in the courtyard, Er Da Ma couldn’t help but tell them.
Word spread like wildfire.
There weren’t even 100 people in the whole of No. 95 courtyard.
At present, the children in the courtyard hadn’t come home from school yet, and those who worked hadn’t gotten off work either.
Therefore, there were fewer people in the courtyard.
It didn’t take long for the news to spread throughout the whole courtyard.
…
Zheng Da Ma was working at the factory and didn’t know that the news of her pregnancy had spread to No. 95 courtyard.
