Chapter 1063: Retirement Money

Nanluoguxiang

Children were in groups of three or five in the alley, lighting firecrackers.

Xiaodang and Huaihua were squatting on the ground picking up used firecrackers.

Banggeng walked over, limping: "Xiaodang, Huaihua, what are you doing?"

Xiaodang said pitifully: "Brother! It's New Year's, and they have money to buy firecrackers, look."

Banggeng: "Stop looking, we don't have money to buy firecrackers, let's go home."

Huaihua pulled Banggeng: "I'm not going back! I want to watch! Brother! Can you buy me a pack of small firecrackers? Two mao can buy a hundred of them."

Xiaodang pulled Huaihua: "Huaihua, you're making it difficult for brother."

Banggeng looked at the children playing with firecrackers not far away, gritted his teeth and said: "Fine! I have a way! You wait here!"

After saying this, Banggeng turned around and limped back to the Sihe Academy, walking into the room as if nothing had happened.

Jia Zhangshi was sewing shoe soles in the room, and seeing Banggeng return, she asked: "Why aren't you playing outside anymore?"

Banggeng sat on the bed and said: "The other children have firecrackers to set off, but I don't, so they won't play with me."

Jia Zhangshi cursed: "They're just a bunch of little beasts who look down on people. If they won't play with us, we won't play with them either."

Banggeng begged: "Grandma! Can you give me two mao? I want to set off firecrackers too."

Jia Zhangshi glared: "What nonsense are you talking about! Where would Grandma have money! Besides, why set off firecrackers! Buying firecrackers is just to hear a sound; it's not edible or drinkable, why spend that wasted money! You just go to the alley, and when you see someone setting off firecrackers, you just crowd over and listen to the sound; it's the same thing."

Banggeng said unhappily: "That's not the same."

Jia Zhangshi said: "Even if it's not the same, I don't have money!"

After a while, Jia Zhangshi got up to go to the bathroom, and Banggeng jumped off the bed immediately.

After glancing at the door, he skillfully picked the lock on the cabinet and took out a lunch box from inside.

Opening the lunch box, there was a cloth bag inside, and opening the cloth bag, it was full of money.

Banggeng quickly took a few bills, put the cloth bag back into the lunch box, and put the lunch box back in its original place.

He locked the lock again, stuffed the money into his crotch, and sat back on the bed as if nothing had happened.

After Jia Zhangshi returned from outside, Banggeng jumped off the bed and said: "So boring, I'm going out to play."

Jia Zhangshi instructed: "Don't go too far, come back in time for dinner."

Banggeng left the Sihe Academy, took Xiaodang and Huaihua to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Not only did he buy a pack of small firecrackers, but he also bought a handful of fruit candies.

Now, Xiaodang and Huaihua were both overjoyed.

The three children ate candy and returned to the alley with the firecrackers.

"Pop!"

Banggeng used a match to light the firecracker and ran, limping.

Listening to the sound of the firecrackers, Xiaodang and Huaihua clapped their hands happily.

Banggeng happily ate candy and set off firecrackers, tasting the sweetness of stealing Jia Zhangshi's retirement money for the first time.

Having done it once, there would be a second time, a third time...

Jia Zhangshi, who was sewing shoe soles, was still completely unaware that her retirement money was in danger!

Red Star Rolling Mill

Factory Director Yang was frowning as he flipped through documents when the phone on his desk suddenly rang. He reached out and picked up the receiver, and a voice immediately came through:

"Dad! I want to buy a wool coat, it's not expensive, just over ten yuan..."

"No! Don't talk to me! You're already working and earning a salary, and you're still asking me for money to buy clothes? Where is your salary? Not enough to spend? If it's not enough to spend, then don't spend it! I still have work to do and no time to chat with you!"

Factory Director Yang hung up the phone in irritation, feeling a headache as he thought of his useless son at home.

The factory was full of crises, and home was not peaceful either.

All sorts of messy things were annoying him to death.

Thinking that his son was the same age as Cao Weiguo, why was the gap so large?

Cao Weiguo was young and already able to take charge of his own affairs, and no one could find fault with his conduct or work ability.

Now he had made the New Year's feast a great success, and who in the factory didn't give him a thumbs up?

With such a good mass base, plus his own ability and connections, Cao Weiguo's future could be said to be bright.

Look at his own son again; not only was he unlearned and unskilled, but he was also greedy for pleasure, working three days and resting two, surrounded by a bunch of fox friends and dog companions, eating, drinking, and playing all day long, without any ambition.

This phone call made Factory Director Yang's mood even worse. He took a red notebook out of the drawer and opened it to find many names and phone numbers recorded inside.

His fingers slid over the names, then he pointed at one, and then picked up the phone: "Old Qin! Are you busy lately? Hmm, come over tonight for a gathering. Call Old Liu and Old Song, let's have dinner and play a few rounds. Hey, it's New Year's, everyone needs to relax a bit. Good, I'll have the factory's chef make a few signature dishes. Good, braised pig intestines, right? That's a must." ===== CHAPTER 1065 =====

His finger slid over one name after another, then tapped on one name, and he picked up the phone: "Old Qin! Are you busy lately? Uh-huh, come over for a gathering tonight. Call Old Liu and Old Song, and let's play a few rounds after dinner. Hey, it's the New Year, everyone needs to relax appropriately. Good, I'll have the factory chef make a few signature dishes. Right, Nine-Turn Intestines, is that it? It won't be missing."
