Chapter 732: Unsolicited Flattery
When chatting, Wu Dong once said that Wu Dong's wife worked as a translator.
However, her translation work didn't focus on receiving foreign guests, but on translating various foreign magazines, journals, materials, and various academic papers.
Of course, the reason Wu Dong's wife focused on text translation was also because Wu Dong worked in DJ County, and then Wu Dong's wife followed him here.
After all, DJ County was just a county seat, and the possibility of foreign guests coming was basically non-existent, so even if Wu Dong's wife was very good at oral translation, she didn't even have the space to display it.
However, in China in this era, people like Wu Dong's wife, who were proficient in foreign languages, were real scarce talents.
Because it must be admitted that China at this time was still very backward, and many things needed to be learned from the outside, and the best way to learn, and the most effective way, was those more advanced textual things from foreign countries.
So how important people like Wu Dong's wife were could be imagined.
And because of this, although Wu Dong's wife stayed at home all day, she was in a very busy state many times.
After leading the two brothers Wang An and Wang Li into the house, Wu Dong's wife called Wu Dong, then poured a cup of tea for each of them, and said to them with an apologetic face:
"You two brothers sit for a while, I still have some work to finish, and your Brother Wu will be back soon."
Seeing this, the two brothers stood up, and Wang An said: "Yeah, sister-in-law, you go ahead and be busy, it's not our first time here."
Wu Dong's wife smiled apologetically again and hurried to another room.
After taking a sip of tea, only hearing Wang Li say: "Fourth Brother, why is this tea different from the tea sold in the supply and marketing cooperative? This is too fragrant."
Wang An was stunned upon hearing this and said casually: "What are you thinking? This tea isn't the few kinds sold in the supply and marketing cooperative at all. Do you really think your Brother Wu is an ordinary person?"
Wang Li blinked and said: "I do know Brother Wu isn't an ordinary person, but Fourth Brother, what kind of tea is this? So fragrant."
Wang An was very familiar with tea, looked at the brewed tea leaves, and took a sip to feel it: "This should be Dajinye. Although it's not the top-tier, it's also damn expensive."
Wang Li nodded upon hearing this, then suddenly asked:
"Fourth Brother, why do you know everything?"
Wang An was stunned upon hearing this, then said arrogantly:
"That's a must. Your brother I know astronomy above, geography below, can see marriage, know a little feng shui, five elements and eight trigrams, strange gates and hidden armor..."
Wang Li suddenly interrupted: "Fourth Brother."
Wang An: "Ah? What's wrong?"
Wang Li: "You can really brag."
Wang An: "Damn, who are you talking to?"
After a while, the unique sound of the sidecar, like a fart, rang out outside the house.
Hearing the sound, the two immediately stood up and walked outside.
Just as they got out of the house, they happened to catch Wu Dong walking in, only hearing Wu Dong laugh out loud:
"How is it, is my speed fast enough? Hahaha..."
As he spoke, Wu Dong also stepped forward and hugged Wang An.
At this time, Wu Dong looked unusually happy, as if seeing Wang An was like seeing a god of wealth. It was just that this action of Wu Dong truly stunned Wang An, because although the relationship between everyone was very good, they hadn't seen each other for a few days, so how could they have the feeling of "not seeing each other for a day is like three autumns"?
Besides, two big men hugging each other, what kind of system is that?
So, Wang An asked subconsciously:
"Brother Wu, what's the situation with you? Do you miss me that much? Didn't we just separate a few days ago?"
Wu Dong probably realized he had lost his composure, so he stabilized his emotions and asked Wang An: "Are you two here today to drive this crawler?"
Wang An nodded:
"Yeah, it's time. The land is planted, and my house should start construction."
Hearing Wang An say this, Wu Dong's eyes rolled and he suddenly asked: "Is there anything missing for your house now?"
Wang An thought for a moment and said: "Now we're just missing sand and steel bars. I just bought cement."
Wu Dong heard this and said: "Alright, these matters, leave them to your brothers and sisters of different parents. Tomorrow... no, the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow I will have people send the steel bars and sand to your house, and while they're at it, have them haul a few tons of cement over for you, hahahaha."
As soon as Wu Dong's words came out, Wang An was instantly bewildered.
The main thing was, what was this about? He wasn't unable to buy it, and he wasn't short of money. Most importantly, he didn't need to ask Wu Dong and the others for help in this regard! So, Wang An immediately stopped him: "Stop, stop, Brother Wu, let me explain in advance, I'm not being distant with you, but I can handle these things. You guys should be busy with your own things, and when I have something I can't handle, I'll definitely ask you for help."
Wu Dong said firmly:
"Our relationship will definitely not be bad in the future, but you must accept these things this time, otherwise not only do I disagree, but your eldest sister and Xiao Shuai and the others definitely won't agree either."
It could be seen that Wu Dong's appearance at this time didn't look like he was pretending; he sincerely wanted to do this, and it seemed Zhang Shuya and Wang Shuai and the others had discussed it with Wu Dong.
This led to Wang An being even more bewildered. Wang An looked at Wu Dong with a frown, his face full of disbelief.
It was just that Wu Dong's performance also confirmed one thing to Wang An, that is, Wu Dong must have a reason for doing this.
After all, there is an old saying, "Unsolicited flattery, either a traitor or a thief!"
No, this can't be considered flattery; to be precise, it's like repaying a favor, no, it should be repaying, or is it a reward? Anyway, it's that kind of meaning.
Wang An asked with a questioning look:
"Alright, Brother Wu, tell me, what is going on? Why did you make it so that I must accept it?"
After Wang An finished asking, Wu Dong hesitated, looked at Wang Li, and then said with a serious face: "This matter, after I tell you, don't tell anyone else. It won't do if people know about this, mainly because it's easy to cause panic."
Wang An suddenly felt that this matter didn't seem small, and a small person like him shouldn't know about it.
Consequently, Wang An said with a bitter face: "Brother Wu, you'd better just tell me what it's for. You don't need to tell me the specific details. I feel like I'd rather not know than know."
Seeing Wang An's appearance, Wu Dong, who was originally serious, couldn't help but laugh out loud "hahahahaha."
After laughing, Wu Dong explained while laughing.
It turned out that the reason Wu Dong and the others were like this was because of those three little devils.
