Chapter 1081

Sha Zhuzi happily changed into the shoes, stomped on the ground, and said with a face full of joy: "Hey! They fit perfectly! Thank you, Grandma!"

The Deaf Old Lady held Sha Zhuzi's hand: "Why are you being so polite with Grandma, good grandson! Wear new shoes for the New Year! May my eldest grandson rise step by step next year!"

Sha Zhuzi was moved, his eyes moist: "Grandma, you are so good to me. I'll go buy meat in a while, and we'll have braised pork tonight."

The Deaf Old Lady nodded happily: "Good, good, good! Grandma likes to eat it!"

Coming out of the Deaf Old Lady's room, Sha Zhuzi happened to run into Xu Damao.

Seeing Xu Damao pushing his bicycle, with a big rooster, green onions, and white flour on the back seat, he got angry.

He was better than Xu Damao in every way, so why could Xu Damao eat and drink well, while he had to be stingy just to eat a meal of meat?

Sha Zhuzi sneered: "Isn't this Section Chief Xu? Where are you coming back from corrupting yourself again? A bountiful harvest, huh!"

Xu Damao retorted: "Grandson! Grandpa goes wherever he wants, can you, this big grandson, manage that! Instead, you, this big grandson, don't forget to kowtow to Grandpa for New Year's greetings on the first day of the New Year."

Sha Zhuzi was furious: "You grandson, are you looking for a beating!"

Xu Damao retreated in fear: "A bet is a bet! What is it! A real man, can't afford to lose and wants to renege on the debt!"

Thinking of the bet with Xu Damao, Sha Zhuzi's heart burned with anger, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists: "Grandson! Don't be happy too soon! We'll see! Just wait and see!"

Xu Damao was triumphant: "Don't get angry, good grandson! It's New Year! Grandpa will give you a piece of candy to satisfy your craving."

Saying this, Xu Damao actually took a piece of candy out of his pocket, and Sha Zhuzi slapped the candy away and walked away angrily with big strides.

Xu Damao shouted with a smile: "Good grandson! Filial piety is the most important of all virtues! Don't forget to pay New Year's greetings to Grandpa!"

These words made Sha Zhuzi hate him so much he gritted his teeth, and made the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu laugh out loud.

Liu Guangtian flattered: "Brother Damao! You're awesome! In our courtyard, besides Section Chief Cao, you're the only one who can make Sha Zhuzi eat humble pie!"

Liu Guangfu ran over and picked up the orange candy that had fallen on the ground: "Brother Damao, do you still want this candy?"

Xu Damao laughed: "You take it and eat it."

Liu Guangfu said happily: "Thank you, Brother Damao!"

Just by annoying Sha Zhuzi, Xu Damao felt happier than if he had picked up money, and he happily pushed his bike home.

Sha Zhuzi arrived at the middle courtyard and saw Bang Geng playing with Xiao Dang and Huaihua; his eyes rolled around, and he thought of a bad idea.

Sha Zhuzi beckoned: "Bang Geng, come here!"

Bang Geng said coldly: "No time!"

Sha Zhuzi: "Do you want pocket money or not?"

Hearing about pocket money, Bang Geng immediately ran over: "Where is the pocket money, give it to me!"

Sha Zhuzi said with a bad smile: "Don't be in a hurry, listen to your silly uncle. I'll teach you a method. On the first day of the New Year, you guys do this... follow what I say, and the pocket money will soon be clattering into your pockets."

Bang Geng's eyes shone when he heard this: "Silly Uncle, say it again, I don't remember it very clearly."

Sha Zhuzi smiled badly: "Come into the room, I'll teach you a few more times, and call Xiao Dang and Huaihua too."

Bang Geng excitedly called Xiao Dang and Huaihua and followed Sha Zhuzi home.

When Cao Weiguo returned to the courtyard, the sun was already setting, and the courtyard was filled with the fragrance of food.

It was almost New Year, and many families were still deep-frying lard and tofu in the courtyard, making the children drool.

"Weiguo is back!"

"Coming to see your master again! So filial!"

"Good guy, this pork must be at least ten catties!"

"Look at Cao Weiguo, that's what you call New Year!"

"Stop being jealous! Even if he has more money, it's his! Does it have anything to do with you!"

"Our family is not bad either, look at who else can afford to buy so much meat!"

"Forget it! One catty and two taels of meat! Look at how capable you are!"

"Weiguo! Come to my house for a drink tonight!"

"Thanks, Second Uncle, the food is already cooked at home, I'll invite you another day!"

Cao Weiguo arrived home and put down the things: "Yulan, stop being busy! Come and try on the new clothes I bought for you."

Song Yulan, who was wrapping dumplings, put down the dumpling skin, wiped her hands, and came out of the kitchen: "Wasting money again, I don't lack clothes."

Cao Weiguo unfolded the red woolen coat: "It's New Year, who doesn't wear new clothes? Come and try it on."

Taking the woolen coat, Song Yulan smiled: "The material of the clothes is really good, and the color is also good."

Cao Weiguo helped Song Yulan put on the coat and nodded with appreciation: "Beautiful! My wife is just beautiful! I think even Yang Guifei can't compare to my wife!"

Song Yulan said coquettishly: "Sweet talker, this coat wasn't cheap, right?"

Cao Weiguo held Song Yulan's hand: "As long as you like it, it's worth any amount of money."

At this time, Qin Huairu came to the door with a bowl and felt very bitter seeing this scene.

Song Yulan saw Qin Huairu, and the smile on her face immediately disappeared: "Qin Huairu, do you have anything to do coming to my house?"

Qin Huairu said pitifully: "Weiguo, Yulan, sorry to disturb you. I, I came over because I wanted to borrow some soy sauce."

Song Yulan smiled: "Borrow soy sauce? Qin Huairu, you are really interesting! You ran over to borrow soy sauce on New Year's Eve? Is it not for sale at the supply and marketing cooperative? That's impossible, right?"

Qin Huairu suppressed her anger and pretended to be pitiful: "I didn't pay attention before, and only realized the soy sauce was gone when I was stir-frying. By the time I wanted to buy it, the supply and marketing cooperative was already closed. I won't borrow much, just a few spoonfuls, and I'll return it to your house tomorrow when I buy soy sauce."

Song Yulan was full of reluctance, not because she couldn't spare the soy sauce, but because she really hated Qin Huairu.

When she first came to this courtyard, she had a pretty good impression of Qin Huairu.

But later interactions caused her impression of Qin Huairu to plummet.

At the Rolling Steel Factory, she heard that Cao Weiguo often provided for Qin Huairu in the past, and she was once worried that Qin Huairu would steal her man...

Various reasons made Song Yulan loathe Qin Huairu from the bottom of her heart, or rather, be hostile toward Qin Huairu.

Cao Weiguo looked at Qin Huairu's pitiful appearance and took a soy sauce bottle out of the kitchen: "You don't pay attention even during the New Year. If you are missing something, go buy it tomorrow. Borrowing things at this time is unlucky."

Qin Huairu took the soy sauce with the bowl and said pitifully: "Really sorry, I'll return it to you when I buy soy sauce."

Song Yulan snorted coldly: "No need, hurry home and cook."

Qin Huairu said thank you, gritted her teeth, and turned to leave, wishing she could slap Song Yulan a few times.

What are you proud of!

What is there to be arrogant about!

If you hadn't married Cao Weiguo, you would just be a village girl!

There is no cat in this world that doesn't steal fish!

You just wait for me! I'll make you cry and roll out of the courtyard sooner or later! ===== CHAPTER 1083 =====
