Wang Jianjun could more or less guess the thoughts of the neighbors in the courtyard, but he didn't take it to heart.
Last night, if it wasn't for the Deaf Old Lady, he would have made Silly Zhu suffer.
Although he had given the old lady some face and let go of Silly Zhu, he believed that the deaf old lady would understand what he meant. This was the only time, and it would not happen again.
After returning home, Wang Jianjun drank a cup of tea to calm himself down. Then, he took out the medical code and read it.
When she felt sleepy, she put down her book, washed up, and went straight to sleep.
The next morning, after practicing boxing and eating breakfast, Wang Jianjun was ready to go out.
It would be New Year's Eve in a few days. Today, he should go out and " prepare " some New Year goods.
"Is Jianjun going out?"
"Yes, Third Aunt, it's New Year's Eve in less than two days. We're going to the market today to prepare some New Year's goods. What are you busy with?”
As soon as Wang Jianjun opened the door, he was seen by Third Aunt, who was working in the yard.
"Didn't I marinate some salted radishes? It just so happens that it's not snowing today. I took them out to dry. Otherwise, they will become moldy after a long time.”
"Third Aunt, you really know how to live. With you taking care of the house, Third Uncle can save a lot of trouble. By the way, why haven't I seen Third Uncle today? Did you go out?"
Since it was a chat, he naturally had to pick what the other party liked to hear. Wang Jianjun knew this.
"Hey, isn't everyone living like this? Your Third Uncle went fishing early in the morning. He's probably by the river now.”
"Third Uncle woke up really early. Alright, Third Aunt, I should set off too. Otherwise, if I'm late, the good dishes will be picked up by others.”
"Then you have to hurry. Third Aunt won't delay your business.”
"Look at what you're saying. It doesn't exist. Besides, chatting with you can also teach me a lot about how to live. I'll be leaving first, Third Aunt.”
After the chat, Wang Jianjun went out directly. This time, he didn't meet anyone else.
They walked all the way to the market and wandered around while thinking about what to buy.
He had his own pork, beef, and chicken, as well as snacks such as candy, peanuts, and melon seeds. He also had new clothes. He still had a lot of the vegetables he bought last time. After all, he was alone. Even if he ate twice a day, he wouldn't be able to eat much, so he didn't have to buy vegetables.
After thinking for a long time, Wang Jianjun realized that he didn't seem to lack anything. If he really needed anything, he would probably be able to buy a fish.
It was almost the end of the year, and there were all kinds of fish on the market. After a while, Wang Jianjun found a stall to buy fish. He asked the boss to weigh a three-pound grass carp. It was too small to eat, and he couldn't finish it in a meal if it was too big. It was also a little too conspicuous.
After more than an hour, Wang Jianjun came out of the market with his hands full of things. He took out two and a half pounds of pork, flour, eggs, grass carp, peanuts, melon seeds, and candy.
What made him the happiest was that he had seen someone selling chives just now. He had bought a large pile of them. He had no choice. Who asked him to love them? Moreover, they were not expensive.
With today's dishes and the leftovers from the past, it would be enough for the New Year. If there were any more, it would be suspicious.
Thinking of this, Wang Jianjun didn't stay any longer and went home with his things.
After putting away the New Year's goods that he had prepared for today, Wang Jianjun picked up the medical code and read it since there was still some time before lunch.
It would be great if he could reach the entry level before the new year. Although it was not useful for treating illnesses and saving people, he could get a chance to draw a lottery. This was a good thing.
The other thing that was most likely to be upgraded was his cooking skills. Because everyone ate quite well during the New Year, making a few more good dishes every time they ate would not attract attention.
Wang Jianjun had already made plans. From this morning onwards, he had to cook at least two dishes for every meal. When it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner, he would have a big table. Then, there should be no problem in upgrading his cooking skills.
After reading for a while, Wang Jianjun began to cook when it was almost time.
The dishes he made this morning were a plate of chives scrambled eggs and vinegar cabbage, plus rice. No one in the entire courtyard could live such a small life.
After lunch, Wang Jianjun was about to have a cup of tea and rest for a while before reading. He didn't expect someone to visit his house.
"Brother Da Mao, why are you looking for me now?”
That's right, it was Xu Damao. He was carrying some local specialties, such as peanuts, chili, garlic, and so on.
This guy didn't have a good relationship with him. Wang Jianjun didn't need to think to know that he didn't have any good intentions when he suddenly came with a gift.
"Hey, Jianjun, look at what you're saying. Aren't you being too distant? We've lived in the same courtyard for so many years. Isn't it normal for us to walk around?”
"Then you don't have to bring so many gifts. You'd better tell me what you want first. Otherwise, I won't dare to accept your gifts.”
No matter what Xu Damao said, Wang Jianjun refused to accept his gift. Xu Damao had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Alright then, but I'll say it out loud. You can't laugh at me. You've lived in the quad for so many years, so I'm sure you know about the grudge between me and Silly Zhu. No matter when I have a conflict with him, I'll always be the one who suffers in the end with the First Uncle and the Deaf Old Lady protecting me.”
"I can only say that I sympathize with you, but what does all this have to do with me?”
"How can there be no relationship? You don't know how happy I was when I saw you beat up Silly Zhu last night. I wasn't afraid that you would know. Actually, I said those words to provoke Silly Zhu on purpose to make him suffer more. I didn't expect that my wish would really come true.”
"You might not know the results of Silly Zhu's checkup. Other than some superficial injuries, the most important thing is that two of his ribs are broken. It's a pity that they're not completely broken. Otherwise, without ten days to half a month of recuperation, it would be difficult for Silly Zhu to stand up.”
Perhaps it was because he had finally released all the grudges he had accumulated over the years, Xu Damao became more and more agitated as he spoke. He was almost dancing with joy. He was already an adult, and it was quite difficult for him.
"Yes, I know, but you still haven't told me why you came to look for me today.”
In fact, Wang Jianjun had already guessed what Xu Damao wanted to do, but he still wanted to confirm it.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm here to find you to form an alliance. You know the network of connections in our courtyard. First Uncle Silly Zhu and the Deaf Old Lady are in cahoots.”
"They don't have a good relationship with you. You can even say that they have a grudge against you. Think about it, if we can form an alliance, wouldn't you have more power to deal with them in the future?”
Good heavens, Xu Damao said such beautiful words, and he even wanted to form an alliance? He just wanted Wang Jianjun to block Silly Zhu in front of him. If something really happened, Wang Jianjun could guarantee that this guy would run faster than anyone else. He couldn't be relied on.
"Brother Da Mao, I understand your thoughts, but as long as no one provokes me, I don't want to deal with anyone, so you should take the gift back. As for the alliance, don't say it anymore.”
After expressing his attitude, Wang Jianjun was ready to get up and send the guests off. He had a full schedule today, so he didn't have the time to argue with Xu Damao.
"No, this is a good thing. Why don't you agree? Why don't I leave the gift here first and you can seriously consider it?”
"No need, I really don't have that idea. You should hurry back. I'm quite busy here, so I won't entertain you.”
Seeing Wang Jianjun standing at the door, waiting to send him out, Xu Damao had no choice but to take the gift and leave Wang Jianjun's house.
Although it was Lou Xiao'e's suggestion to find Wang Jianjun to form an alliance, he knew that it was a good thing after thinking about it for a while, so he did what he did just now.
After all, he had provoked Silly Zhu the night before. If anyone mentioned it to Silly Zhu, be it Qin Huiru or Yi Zhonghai, given Silly Zhu's arrogant personality, he would definitely not find trouble with him.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he tried to persuade Wang Jianjun, he would not agree. He could only think of other ways in the future.
After sending Xu Damao off, Wang Jianjun started reading seriously.
As for what Xu Damao had said, he had forgotten about it as soon as he turned around. He could not work with such a person at all. Otherwise, he might sell you out for his own benefit one day.
Just thinking about how those who worked with Xu Damao in the original drama ended up, one would know what his character was like.
