Chapter 1069: The Feast

Red Star Rolling Mill

Red flags were fluttering, songs were loud, and everyone was full of joy.

Starting from the morning, the entire factory stopped work and production to hold the annual meeting in the auditorium.

The Propaganda Section organized various departments to perform on stage, and the chorus and dance were inspiring.

"A big river with wide waves, the wind blows the rice flowers fragrant on both sides"

"We workers have strength..."

On the stage, the workers were singing and dancing, and off the stage, the workers were singing passionately. The warm and sincere emotions were like a raging fire, making people's blood boil...

Cao Weiguo was in the midst of it and couldn't help but sing loudly, his heart becoming hot and passionate.

The annual meeting performance in the morning ended, and the workers surged toward the staff cafeteria with excitement.

Cao Weiguo held a ladle and stood at the window serving food to the workers.

Cao Weiguo naturally wouldn't waste this good opportunity to win people's hearts and show his face.

Factory Director Yang, Deputy Factory Director Li, and other leaders were also in the staff cafeteria, queuing up with the workers to get food.

Every worker was beaming with smiles, holding plates of food piled high.

Today's food was not only sumptuous but also half-price, and each person was given two free tea eggs.

Cao Weiguo personally went into action to serve food, and every ladle was full.

He was fair to everyone, two ladles of meat and one ladle of vegetables per person.

Braised pork, ribs, stewed chicken... the workers were grinning from ear to ear.

Seeing the workers full of joy, Deputy Factory Director Li walked to the window and said: "Weiguo! Well done! You haven't let down the trust and expectations of all the staff!"

Cao Weiguo said with excitement: "Seeing the workers satisfied and happy is my greatest honor!"

"Good!"

"Director Cao is great!"

"Clap, clap!"

Hearing Cao Weiguo's words, Deputy Factory Director Li shouted loudly, and the staff present also applauded.

Factory Director Yang said with a smile: "Comrade workers? How is this feast?"

Everyone's faces were full of joy, and they shouted loudly: "It's great!"

Factory Director Yang said with a smile: "Everyone knows that the three years of natural disasters have just passed. It's not easy to have such sumptuous dishes for this feast, and all of this is thanks to one person! That person is Comrade Cao Weiguo! It was his tireless efforts that made today's scene possible!"

"Director Cao, you've worked hard!"

"Having Director Cao is our blessing!"

"This is our good director!"

"Thank you, Director Cao!"

Hearing these words, the workers applauded excitedly again, and Cao Weiguo bowed modestly to thank them.

Song Yulan stood in the crowd feeling proud, Yu Haitang stared at Cao Weiguo with admiration, and Qin Huairu's eyes were shining.

Shazhu stood in the cafeteria, clenching his fists in jealousy, wishing he could kick Cao Weiguo away.

Xu Damao saw this scene and was also extremely jealous, wishing he could take his place.

Yan Jiecheng snorted unconvinced: "What is this! Isn't it just a meal! What's so great about it!"

Liu Haizhong sighed with envy: "This Cao Weiguo has really made it!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed with complex emotions: "I misjudged him! I really misjudged him!"

Compared to the easily fooled Shazhu, Cao Weiguo was undoubtedly more excellent.

If Cao Weiguo were willing to support him in his old age, how good that would be.

Pity!

A broken mirror is hard to mend! Spilled water is hard to recover!

Cao Weiguo was no longer on the same path as him!

This feast was very successful and very complete, and everyone who ate it said it was good.

Many workers brought the food home, making the neighbors envious.

Jia Zhangshi ate until her mouth was oily: "This big factory is a big factory! The food treatment is really nothing to say! This food is too delicious!"

Banggeng said urgently: "Grandma, leave me a piece of rib!"

Jia Zhangshi said while eating: "It's not good for children to eat too much meat; it's easy to get a stomachache. Grandma is old, and every bite I eat is one less. You have to be sensible; you have to be filial to Grandma."

Banggeng was about to cry: "But I haven't eaten a single piece of rib!"

Huaihua reached out to take some, and Jia Zhangshi pushed Huaihua to the ground: "What are you reaching for, you little money-losing thing! Didn't you eat enough yesterday! Go play somewhere else!"

Huaihua sat on the ground crying, and Qin Huairu helped Huaihua up with a heartache: "Mom! Huaihua is still young! What's wrong with letting her eat a little!"

Jia Zhangshi shouted unreasonably: "Eat what eat! No matter how much this little money-losing thing eats, it's a waste! It's better to leave it for my eldest grandson to eat more."

Qin Huairu said: "This food was brought back from the factory, and I want Xiaodang and Huaihua to eat together."

Jia Zhangshi glared: "Hey! Qin Huairu, your wings are getting hard, aren't they! Your job is all thanks to my Jia family! If it weren't for my Jia family, could you have entered the rolling mill? Could you have become a worker? Could you have eaten such food?"

Seeing Jia Zhangshi being unreasonable, Qin Huairu grabbed Xiaodang with one hand and held Huaihua with the other and walked out.

Jia Zhangshi didn't even look and continued to devour the food.

Banggeng glanced at it and turned to continue grabbing food from Jia Zhangshi.

Such delicious food, but every bite was one less.

Qin Huairu took the two children to the entrance of the rolling mill, bent down, touched the children's heads, and said: "You wait for Mom here, Mom will go in and get you something delicious."

"Hmm!"

Xiaodang and Huaihua nodded obediently.

Qin Huairu walked quickly into the factory, heading straight for the cafeteria with a clear goal.

She wanted to ask Cao Weiguo for help, but Cao Weiguo wasn't in the cafeteria, so she had to settle for finding Shazhu: "Zhuzi! Help me! I brought the food home at noon, but you know, there are many people in the family, and my mother-in-law and Banggeng don't have enough to eat, and Xiaodang and Huaihua haven't even had a bite. The two children are crying from craving, and I really can't bear it, so I can only come to ask for your help."

Shazhu looked at the pitiful Qin Huairu, remembered what the First Uncle said last night, gritted his teeth and said: "Qin sister, wait for me for a while, I haven't finished the lunch food, you take what I haven't finished back for Xiaodang and Huaihua."

Qin Huairu looked at the crowded cafeteria and didn't say much.

Although it didn't meet expectations, it was better than returning empty-handed.

Holding half a box of food and two buns, she arrived outside the factory, and Xiaodang and Huaihua called out Mom happily.

Xiaodang: "Thank you, Mom!"

Huaihua: "It's so delicious!"

Looking at the two children eating happily, Qin Huairu felt indescribably uncomfortable in her heart.

She herself suffered and endured hardship, but she couldn't bear to see her children suffer and endure hardship with her.

But she was a woman with limited ability, and the salary she could earn was only so much.

If there was no one to help, she really didn't know what to do.

Although Shazhu was good to her, Shazhu's ability was also limited.

Cao Weiguo had ability, but this person had a heart of stone.

If Cao Weiguo were as good to her as Shazhu, how good that would be.

If that were the case, even if Jia Zhangshi threatened to die, she would remarry.

No one could stop her from seeking happiness for her children! ===== CHAPTER 1071 =====
