A few days after the assembly, the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, was the Lunar New Year. On this day, the third uncle, Yan Bugui, came home from work. Before he entered the courtyard, he saw Xu Damao pushing his bicycle inside. There was a net bag on the left side of the bicycle handle that contained dried chili peppers, and a big rooster hanging on the right. Judging from its constantly shaking wings, it should still be alive. There were a few Chinese yams tied to the bicycle beam, and bundles of green onions and vermicelli on the back seat.
Third Master Yan Bugui smiled and said,"Yo, Damao, you went out to buy New Year's goods too? Seeing that it was almost the New Year, the people in front of the supply and marketing cooperative were so crowded that they had to queue for more than an hour to do some New Year's goods.”
"Purchasing New Year goods? Xu Damao quickly reacted and patted the things on the car. He said proudly,""Third Uncle, this is what you mean. I went to the village to play a movie and the village leader gave it to me. It's almost the new year. Who doesn't want to watch a movie and be lively? Don't you think so?”
"Xu Damao, this job of yours is really a good one." Yan Bugui said.”
"Fat what?" Xu Damao was very proud in his heart, but on the surface, he said humbly,"Look at this cold winter. Running to the countryside every day, my hands are freezing and cracking. It's almost the new year. I'll give you some dry goods to show my respect.”
Yan Bugui, the third uncle, was overjoyed. He quickly took the seaweed from Xu Damao and said with a smile,"Thank you. Xu Damao, you're generous and young.”
"You don't have to be polite with me. I'm only a little stronger than the average person.”Xu Damao was flattered by Third Master Yan Bugui and said proudly.
Seeing this, Third Master Yan Bugui continued to speak in order to win Xu Damao over,""By the way, Teacher Ran gave me a bottle of Vaseline half a month ago. Xu Damao, your hands are cold, so you can use it.”
"It's just a small injury. There's no need to care so much.”Xu Damao knew that Third Master Yan Bugui was just saying it. If he really dared to accept it, then the favor he owed Third Master Yan Bugui in the future would definitely be schemed against by him. Hence, he sobered up and smiled.
Third Master Yan Bugui was not angry when he saw Xu Damao's rejection. Instead, he continued to smile and said,""Xu Damao, you really don't need it?"
"No need." Although Xu Damao was a lecherous person, as a true villain, he really didn't want to accept things from the scheming Third Master Yan Bugui.
As Third Master Yan Bugui and Xu Damao were talking, a figure flashed by the alley entrance. Silly Zhu and Qin Huairu walked over side by side.
Silly Zhu bragged to the widow Qin Huairu,""This is because I didn't catch up with my younger days. Five years ago, I would have beaten Lin Tianjiao to a pulp.”
"You, keep bragging. Let me tell you, don't provoke Lin Tianjiao for the next two days. It's almost the new year, and even if you don't want to be unlucky, you should at least want to be safe.”The widow, Qin Huairu, naturally did not believe what Silly Zhu said. She quickly tried to persuade her family to continue sucking Silly Zhu's blood.
"I won't provoke him. If I lose my job at the rolling mill, I'm afraid he won't even dare to return home. Anyway, if it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to face my elders. It's hard for him to go home and he doesn't have any money in his pocket. I'll see how he spends the new year.”
The more Silly Zhu spoke, the happier he became. He put his hands in his pockets and lowered his head slightly. He trembled every two steps and staggered every three steps. Today, the factory had paid his salary. Just as he had expected, Lin Tianjiao didn't have a chance. Since he dared to go against him and Yi Zhonghai, he could only say that Lin Tianjiao deserved what he had today.
"This year's 23rd year will be the deadline for paying. The days before this were good, but once this year is over, our family will have to drink the northwest wind.”The widow Qin Huairu did not respond to him. She sighed and looked bitter.
"Sister Qin, do you have to go to such a extent?"”
"Why wouldn't I? Other people eat a good meal to reward themselves when they get paid. Look at me, I didn't even dare to eat in the cafeteria at noon.”The widow Qin Huairu saw that she had attracted Silly Zhu's attention and quickly went online, pretending to be wronged.
When Silly Zhu heard what the widow Qin Huairu said, he instantly felt upset. He held the widow's hand and said with a smile,""Alright, alright, Sister Qin, don't cry to me about being poor. Wait until tonight. I'll definitely send you some delicious food at night to shut your complaining mouth.”
" Silly Zhu, you said it yourself. You can't go back on your word…" The widow Qin Huairu raised Silly Zhu's hand to her chest and pretended to be happy.
Silly Zhu looked at the widow Qin Huairu, whom he had a crush on, holding his hand and smiling at him. Instantly, he felt as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He patted his chest loudly and said heroically,"I said it. Sister Qin, don't worry. When have I ever lied to you?”
Yes, the widow Qin Huairu had succeeded again. She had already understood Silly Zhu's character. When dealing with a person who could feed himself and not starve his entire family, as long as she appeared weak, she could stimulate Silly Zhu's protective and sympathetic feelings, and she would be able to get what she wanted. Didn't Silly Zhu succeed in sucking blood again? Otherwise, why would the widow Qin Huai be Silly Zhu's nemesis?!
