I ate steamed buns and took a shower.
Shen Zhishou crawled into bed, hugged Yu Li, and quickly fell asleep.
Although this body is resilient, it still needs rest.
Just like a durable machine, it still needs maintenance. After all, wear and tear exists as long as it's still in use.
After sleeping soundly until dawn, Shen Zhishou was once again full of energy and refreshed.
Yu Li woke up at some point, and was already busy in the kitchen.
Shen Zhishou quickly got up, lest he be embarrassed if Yu Haitang came over later and he, as her brother-in-law, was still naked.
Not long after Shen Zhishou finished dressing, Yu Haitang arrived.
However, she came alone; He Yushui did not come with her.
"Good morning, brother-in-law!"
"Good morning!"
Shen Zhishou replied with a smile, then went to the central courtyard to wash up.
Although he already had a water tank in his own house, Shen Zhishou still preferred to wash up at the tap in the middle courtyard, mainly because it was more convenient.
Surprisingly, Sha Zhu is making breakfast today.
He was not only making breakfast, but also teaching He Yushui.
Seeing this, Shen Zhishou looked at Sha Zhu with even greater respect.
This was already considered after He Yushui got married. For He Yushui, Shazhu was taking on the roles of both parents.
Shen Zhishou greeted the brother and sister, quickly finished washing up, and returned to his room.
When he came back, breakfast was served.
Steaming hot buns, thick porridge, and boiled eggs!
Yu Haitang fawned over Yu Li and Shen Zhishou, peeling their eggs before peeling hers.
Originally, having steamed buns for breakfast, especially meat-filled ones, would have been enough. But Yu Li thought about how tired Shen Zhishou had been yesterday, so she decided to give him some extra nourishment and boiled some eggs.
As a result, Haitang naturally benefited from the meal.
Shen Zhishou didn't care about the small amount of food; he figured he could just buy more after he finished eating.
The things in his space were enough for them to eat for more than a year and a half.
That's why the space can keep things fresh; otherwise, they would have to eat them quickly, or they would all spoil.
After breakfast, Shen Zhishou went out to work.
Now, he has gotten used to Yu Li driving Qin Huairu to work while he walks alone.
Not far from the alley where the courtyard house was located, Shen Zhishou spotted Xu Damao.
"Brother Shen, so early!"
After catching up with Xu Damao in a few steps, Shen Zhishou asked curiously.
It's worth noting that although Xu Damao's working hours aren't as flexible as Sha Zhu's, he rarely leaves home this early.
As a result, when Shen Zhishou saw Xu Damao's face, he was stunned.
Xu Damao had handprints and scratches on his face, and looked extremely disheveled.
"Brother Xu, what happened? Did you have a fight with your wife?"
Having returned home too late yesterday and gone to bed early, Shen Zhishou was completely unaware of what had happened in the courtyard yesterday.
Xu Damao's eyes instantly reddened when he saw Shen Zhishou.
"Brother Shen, you have no idea how frustrated I am!"
Thinking about what happened yesterday, Xu Damao felt wronged and really wanted to confide in someone.
Shen Zhishou's appearance was just right.
After hearing what Xu Damao said, Shen Zhishou didn't know what to say.
All I can say is that Xu Damao is truly pitiful!
"Brother, tell me, why am I so unlucky!"
Xu Damao felt increasingly aggrieved the more he thought about what happened yesterday.
It was clearly just a misunderstanding, but Lou Xiao'e simply didn't believe it.
"Brother Xu, tell me the truth, are you really mistaken for someone else, or are you doing it on purpose?"
Considering Xu Damao's character, Shen Zhishou simply couldn't believe he had misjudged him.
There's no way around it, that's what they call preconceived notions!
Who can blame him for having a bad reputation, especially since that's the kind of reputation he has!
"Brother, you don't believe me either?"
Xu Damao felt even more aggrieved.
Why doesn't anyone believe him?
His wife doesn't believe him, and even his supposedly best friend doesn't believe him!
"Brother Xu, this isn't about whether I believe it or not. I just want to ask, is this how you usually get along with your wife?"
A simple question silenced Xu Damao!
Because, even during his honeymoon with Lou Xiao'e, they had never been so intimate.
"Brother, I'm truly innocent!"
"I don't know what got into me yesterday, I just wanted to tease your sister-in-law!"
"Who knew, they mistook me for someone else!"
Xu Damao's attitude was very sincere.
Shen Zhishou smiled and said, "So, Brother Xu, you're not wronged at all!"
"...
Xu Damao didn't want to talk anymore.
"Brother Xu, to be honest, you should be secretly happy. Have you thought about what would happen if this matter were to become public?"
'
"Your sister-in-law will give you a good scratch, and that'll be the end of it. You should be secretly happy!"
After Shen Zhishou finished speaking, Xu Damao could only smile wryly.
In fact, Shen Zhishou felt that Xu Damao was really lucky.
Yesterday, if he hadn't gone to the train station to do odd jobs, but had stayed in the courtyard, he wouldn't have given Xu Damao a chance to explain; he would have beaten him up first.
Wang Minglan is Wang Mingliang's older sister.
Shen Zhishou's relationship with Wang Mingliang is much closer than his relationship with Xu Damao. Moreover, Wang Minglan's appearance at the courtyard was because of a potential partner. Given what happened, it would be unreasonable for Shen Zhishou not to do something.
So, Xu Damao is really lucky.
Moreover, Shen Zhishou estimated that Wang Minglan probably didn't tell Wang Mingliang about this, otherwise Xu Damao would have been beaten up yesterday.
Upon arriving at the workshop, Shen Zhishou soon saw Wang Mingliang. The beaming young Wang rushed over to Shen Zhishou in an exaggerated manner.
"Brother Shen!"
-
"Stop!"
Shen Zhishou reached out and stopped Wang Mingliang from hugging him.
"Thanks, Brother Shen!"
Wang Mingliang raised an eyebrow at Shen Zhishou, then pulled out some candy from his pocket. "Here's some candy for you, to celebrate that I have a girlfriend!"
"The relationship is only at the very beginning; it'll probably be another two years before you two can get your marriage certificate!"
"In less than two years!"
Wang Mingliang said smugly, "Only one year and nine months!"
"That's something to congratulate!"
Shen Zhishou smiled and offered his congratulations.
Before long, people started arriving at the workshop one after another, and Wang Mingliang greeted each person as they came, handing them their wedding candy.
Most people only give wedding candy after they've gotten married, but this guy did it right after finding a girlfriend. He's really a weirdo.
When Song Peiman arrived and heard that Wang Mingliang had a girlfriend and had received wedding candy, he kicked Wang Mingliang and scolded him, "You're about to get married, why aren't you learning your skills properly!"
"Don't wait until your skills aren't up to par and you can't even support a wife!"
This teacher is really strict!
Wang Mingliang chuckled and then focused on practicing his fitter skills.
When workshop director Zhou Wangjia arrived, the morning meeting proceeded as usual: a talk about safe production, some promises made, and then work began.
After Zhou Wangjia learned that Wang Mingliang had a girlfriend, he started gossiping about it.
In the end, it was Song Peiman who spoke up and asked Zhou Wangjia to leave the workshop.
The reason is that it's affecting everyone's work!
That's true!
Because Zhou Wangjia was gossiping with Wang Mingliang and Shen Zhishou, the workers nearby were also eavesdropping, which resulted in several workpieces being ruined.
Zhou Wangjia didn't notice, but Song Peiman did.
As a result, Zhou Wangjia, the workshop director, was dismissed!
And that's the prestige of an eighth-level fitter!
Not long after Zhou Wang was evicted from his home, Shen Zhishou and Wang Mingliang were also called from the workshop to move raw materials.
Just as the two were busy moving parts, the factory's loudspeaker suddenly blared.
An unexpected message came from the loudspeaker.
Fighting has broken out on the other side of the snow-capped mountains!
Upon hearing the news on the radio, everyone's expression turned very serious.
The Indian provocations had been mentioned many times on the radio, and now, a fight has finally broken out.
Everyone thought this would be like the battle in the east, lasting for quite some time.
But Shen Zhishou remained silent for a long time.
This battle has never been made into any film or television drama in later generations, because no one expected, or even dreamed, that the course of this battle would be so unbelievable!
Not only did the enemy refuse to surrender, but they also dared to fight back!
This post-war summary has been widely circulated on the internet ever since.
However, Shen Zhishou dared not say anything to the people around him now. He could only keep a somber expression with everyone, turn his grief into strength, and get to work!
It was at this moment that Shen Zhishou realized why the steel rolling mill had been carrying a lot more work lately!
The cheerful laughter that used to fill the cafeteria disappeared at lunchtime.
Everyone's expression was solemn!
The shadow of war makes it impossible for anyone to be happy.
