Chapter 784: The Thief of the New Year

In the cold winter with snowflakes dancing, the workers of the Red Star Rolling Mill welcomed their annual annual meeting.

The annual meeting is not only an affirmation of the hard work of the past year, but also an expectation and outlook for the new year. On this special day, workers gather together to share happy times.

The atmosphere at the annual meeting was warm, red flags were fluttering, and Li Li Huaide, director of the Revolutionary Committee, delivered a New Year’s speech on the stage, thanking all workers for their hard work and putting forward higher expectations for the new year.

Then came the commendation session. In the past year, many workers performed excellently in their respective positions and made outstanding contributions to the development of the Red Star Rolling Mill. These workers were commended at the annual meeting, each received a certificate, stood on the podium with their heads held high, and their faces were filled with heartfelt pride and joy in the warm applause.

The annual meeting also prepared wonderful programs, such as chorus and dance performances.

The workers wore simple work clothes, showing their talents and enthusiasm, and the audience cheered and applauded for their wonderful performances, and the atmosphere at the scene was very warm.

On this happy day, delicious food is indispensable. The carefully prepared year-end dinner made everyone eat to their heart’s content. Roasted chicken, roast duck, sauce elbow, pork stewed vermicelli, potato stewed beef, braised fish... made the workers shout for addiction. When they went home and told the neighbors, it caused a large piece of swallowing saliva.

Other units also have year-end dinners, but looking at the whole city, I am afraid that few units can compare with the Red Star Rolling Mill. Just those plates of sauce elbows can cover 90% of the units.

Because the dinner at the Red Star Rolling Mill was too rich, it led Bang Geng to take risks. Taking advantage of the dark, he boldly sneaked into the kitchen to steal food. Eating alone was not enough, he also stuffed sauce elbows and roasted chicken into his arms.

This kid is like a mouse falling into a rice jar—happy and worried.

Because there was too much delicious food, he didn't know what to take... Then because he took too much and delayed too long, he was discovered and caught by the duty security guard.

When the security guard came to the courtyard to notify that Bang Geng was caught, Qin Qin Huairu, who was making clothes at home, only felt that her eyes were dark, and she almost fell down.

Jia Jia Zhangshi grabbed Zhou Zhou Zhengyang and wouldn't let go, shouting loudly: "Oh! This year can’t be passed! You caught my grandson on the New Year, you want me, an old woman, to die! Poor baby, my precious grandson, my life is so bitter, this day can’t be passed, I beg you, let my grandson go, I, this old woman, kneel down for you."

Perhaps she learned to be refined, learned a lesson, or perhaps she was afraid of the Security Section, this Jia Jia Zhangshi didn't dare to shout Old Jia, Jia Dongxu, but just dragged Zhou Zhou Zhengyang to cry and sell miserably.

But who is Zhou Zhou Zhengyang?

That is famous for being ruthless in the Security Section.

How many ruffians, gangsters, and hooligans fell into his hands would be cured to cry and call for their parents, and Jia Jia Zhangshi’s performance in front of him was a joke.

Zhou Zhou Zhengyang pulled Jia Jia Zhangshi’s hand away: "Aunt, calm down. On this New Year’s Day, we don't want to catch people, but your grandson’s courage is too big. He actually climbed the wall and ran into the rolling mill to steal things. This behavior has violated the law. This is a criminal act. When I came over, the factory leaders had already reported it to the police station. It’s useless for you to drag me and break the sky. Aunt, please mourn."

"Illegal? Crime? Oh! My God! My grandson is still a child! He is just greedy and naughty, how can he be a criminal! You are too making a big deal out of nothing! Your hearts are all made of iron, what should we orphans and widows do!"

Jia Jia Zhangshi shouted, Qin Qin Huairu was already in tears, and the neighbors in the courtyard whispered and pointed at the Jia family.

"This Bang Geng is really hopeless."

"A dog can’t change eating shit!"

"How many times has this been, why don't you remember."

"Usually stealing small things is fine, but now he dares to climb the wall to steal things from the rolling mill. Every brick and tile of the rolling mill belongs to the country, the people, and the collective. This place he dares to steal, it is simply bold."

"Already in junior high school, not young anymore, why is he so ignorant."

"Causing trouble on the New Year, smearing the whole courtyard."

"Three years old see old, this Bang Geng has been restless since he was young."

Yan Yan Jiecheng pushed Seeing Shazhu: "Seeing Shazhu, don't just watch, go and comfort your Aunt Zhang, look at your Aunt Zhang’s throat is almost hoarse."

"Stay on the side, are you lacking?"

Seeing Shazhu glared at Yan Yan Jiecheng, then quickly walked to Qin Qin Huairu’s side with heartache: "Qin Huairu, don't be too anxious, Bang Geng just stole some food because of greed, what can this be? I will go to the factory now, I will go to the factory leaders to plead, can they hold on to a child because of a few mouthfuls of food? This is a trivial matter, Bang Geng will be fine."

Qin Qin Huairu said with hope: "Thank you Sha Zhuzi, let’s go over quickly."

Zhou Zhou Zhengyang snorted coldly: "Seeing Shazhu, is your head sick? That Bang Geng is already in junior high school, can he still be counted as a child? And he didn't steal a few mouthfuls of food. When we caught him, he had already stolen a roasted chicken, half a roast duck, and an elbow. You are also a chef, you should know how much these things are worth, right? This is not a trivial matter, but a very serious and bad theft, and it is also stealing public property, digging the wall of socialism."

Xu Xu Damao mocked from the side: "Hahaha... Seeing Shazhu, look at your self-righteous stupid look, who do you think you are, you are still pleading with the factory leaders, you are now a person who sweeps the latrine and digs dung, you can pull it down, the factory leaders have to hide from you, don't go over to lose face, want to show off in front of women, you also have to weigh your own weight, don't be self-sufficient and stand out, and be laughed at for nothing."

Seeing Shazhu’s face turned red with anger, and Qin Qin Huairu’s face turned pale.

Then according to what Zhou Zhou Zhengyang said, isn't Bang Geng hopeless?

Liu Haizhong puffed out his big belly and scolded: "Jia Jia Zhangshi, Qin Qin Huairu, how do you educate children? Usually Bang Geng’s hands and feet are not clean, and now it is even more powerful. He dares to steal public property. When he grows up a few years, will he kill people and set fire? You two parents are really too unlikeable. You indulge Bang Geng blindly, so you cultivated him into such a disaster. Not only did he cause a big disaster himself, but he also smeared our whole courtyard. If you educate children strictly like me, can such things happen? You two must reflect and review to the whole courtyard."

Yi Yi Zhonghai coughed: "Cough, cough, Old Liu, now Jia Jia Zhangshi and Qin Qin Huairu are worried, so don't lecture them first. Although Bang Geng is ignorant, he is also watched by you since he was a child. We have been neighbors in the courtyard for so many years, you, the elder, can’t sit idly by."

"Ho! Ptooey!"

Liu Haizhong pasted a mouthful of old phlegm on Yi Yi Zhonghai’s face: "Yi Yi Zhonghai, what are you? The shit on your own ass hasn't been wiped clean yet, what face do you have to point fingers at me? If you ask me, Bang Geng learned badly, and you, the god-grandfather, can’t get rid of the relationship. If you don't have enough discussion, you, the elder, have bad character, and he has to learn from you."

"I#￥#%..."

Yi Yi Zhonghai’s moral kidnapping method was broken, and he was scolded by Liu Haizhong in public. The huge sense of humiliation made him want to roll up his sleeves and fight.
