Chapter 1098

~7 min read 1,360 words

This was only because the neighbors were concerned about their relationship, otherwise Jia Zhangshi would have had to go to jail.

Engaging in feudal superstition on such a big holiday, wasn't this like lighting a lantern in a latrine—looking for death!

Qin Huairu walked into the He house twisting her waist, just as Shazhu was preparing to heat up the leftovers.

Seeing those oily leftovers, Qin Huairu swallowed her saliva, "Zhuzi! I was just angry and confused just now, don't take the unpleasant things I said to heart."

Shazhu said unhappily, "I'm used to it! Every time you get angry, you vent your anger on me. It's not the first or second time. If I were small-minded, I wouldn't have talked to you long ago."

Qin Huairu patted Shazhu on the shoulder, "I knew you weren't that small-minded person. Zhuzi, you had quite a harvest on this trip. There's so much food you can't finish, can I take some back?"

Shazhu handed a lunch box containing shredded pork with bean paste to Qin Huairu, "How could you not? I'm not a stingy ghost like Cao Weiguo."

Qin Huairu smiled while holding the lunch box, "Zhuzi, if you ask me, with your skills, as long as you put more thought into it and have a better relationship with the leaders, becoming a small leader is absolutely no problem."

Shazhu raised his head proudly, "That's right! I am the authentic successor of Tan cuisine!"

Qin Huairu, "I saw Cao Weiguo riding a bicycle this morning, carrying a lot of things out. That must be to give gifts to the leaders. You should learn from him too, give some gifts to the leaders, and when work starts, let the leaders promote you."

Qin Huairu also hoped that Shazhu could do better, so she could benefit more.

Shazhu said with disdain, "I won't be like that sycophant Cao Weiguo! I, He Yuzhu, rely on my skills to eat! I can't do things like flattering and pleasing leaders."

Qin Huairu said angrily, "You! You! Why are you like a stubborn donkey! You won't listen to anything! You! Hey! Think about it yourself, I'm going home first. If I stay here too long, my mother-in-law will start talking nonsense again."

Watching Qin Huairu leave with the lunch box, Shazhu turned around and carried the food to the stove, "What is Cao Weiguo worth, and he wants me to learn from him? Pah!"

Back courtyard.

Cao Weiguo was preparing to cook, and Lu Jin Peng came over and insisted on dragging Cao Weiguo to his house to eat.

It was hard to refuse such kindness!

Cao Weiguo closed the door with Song Yulan and went to the Lu house with wine.

The residents watched Cao Weiguo and his wife go to the Lu house, and couldn't help but start calculating in their hearts.

Since the Lu family established a good relationship with Cao Weiguo, their life had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Lu Jin Peng had a formal salary, and from time to time Cao Weiguo would introduce some private work, so their life was getting better day by day.

In previous years, the Lu family couldn't even get enough cornmeal buns, but look at this year, the family had both fish and meat.

This made many residents jealous and also made them regret not having the flexible mind of the Lu family.

If they had established a good relationship with Cao Weiguo early on, wouldn't their life be better than the Lu family's?

What a pity!

One step slow, every step slow!

Now Cao Weiguo had a good relationship with the Xu family, the Lu family, and the Chi family.

But with other residents, they were just ordinary neighbors.

At most, they would greet each other when they met, and there was no interaction other than that.

So naturally, they wouldn't think of them when there were good things.

Especially this year, even the children's New Year's money was different.

For those with a good relationship, Cao Weiguo gave one yuan each.

And for those with a mediocre relationship, it was ten cents each.

This difference was huge.

Who could feel comfortable?

The Third Uncle, Yan Fugui, and the Second Uncle, Liu Haizhong, didn't feel comfortable.

Seeing the Lu family's boy get one yuan of New Year's money, while their own sons and daughters only got ten cents.

The Third Uncle, Yan Fugui, felt as if he had lost money.

"This Cao Weiguo is too biased!"

"Giving the Lu family's boy one yuan, and giving our children ten cents?"

"Isn't this slapping me, the Third Uncle, in the face!"

"What's going on?"

"Am I, this Third Uncle, a dignified people's teacher, not as good as Lu Jin Peng, that trash picker?"

Yan Fugui sat in the room with his chest heaving in anger, wishing he could get up and argue with Cao Weiguo.

At this time, Xu Damao walked over carrying a duck rack and white wine, "What's the matter, Third Uncle, lying down over one yuan."

Yan Fugui saw the duck rack and wine in Xu Damao's hand and his eyes lit up, "No! Damao! You! You this?"

Xu Damao smiled, "Didn't our family go out to eat today? But my wife and daughter can't drink, so I'm not having fun. So I came over to have a few drinks with you, and let's discuss how to deal with Shazhu."

The Third Uncle immediately clapped his legs happily, "Ouch, you really hit the nail on the head."

Xu Damao said with a smile, "Look at you!"

The Third Uncle stood up, "Just what I wanted!"

Third Aunt smiled and took the duck rack and white wine from Xu Damao's hand, "Damao! You have a few drinks if you want, but why bring so many things."

Xu Damao said sweetly, "I know you have a large family, and you and the Third Uncle live carefully. As for me, a family of three, I'm better off than you. You stew this duck rack, and there are some side dishes and peanuts inside. I'll drink with the Third Uncle until we're drunk! Okay!"

The Third Uncle couldn't stop smiling, "Alright! That's great!"

Third Aunt smiled, "That's good, you two have some tea first, I'll go stew the duck rack and stir-fry two dishes for you."

The Third Uncle enthusiastically greeted Xu Damao to sit down, "Come, have some tea! Let me tell you! Thanks to you! Otherwise, I wouldn't be in the mood to eat tonight."

Xu Damao smiled, "Look at what you're saying! We're like family!"

In a while, the Yan family set up the meal and started eating happily.

Xu Damao and the Third Uncle drank cup after cup, eating the duck rack and side dishes happily.

While drinking, they didn't forget to discuss how to deal with Shazhu.

After eating and drinking, Xu Damao got up and went home drunk.

Coincidentally, he ran into Shazhu who was going to the toilet.

Shazhu put his hands in his pockets, "Hey! What a narrow road for enemies!"

Xu Damao said with alcohol on his breath, "Let me tell you! I've been drinking today! Don't provoke me! Be careful I'll slap you!"

Shazhu sneered, "You're drinking! You'd better be careful! Be careful I'll beat you until you're all over the floor! You're drinking? Even if you drank horse urine, it's useless!"

Xu Damao said with disdain, "You! You, what are you being arrogant about! At your age, you haven't even touched a woman! You're still acting tough! You! You get out of the way!"

Shazhu was full of anger, "You're amazing! You're amazing! Didn't you just marry a wife! But you can't have children! Just you wait! I'll marry a wife soon! After I marry a wife, I'll have a big fat boy and piss you off!"

Xu Damao mocked, "Forget it! You don't have the fate to marry a wife! Get out of the way! Don't delay me from going home to hug my wife!"

Shazhu gritted his teeth on the spot, glaring at Xu Damao's arrogant back, "Grandson! Just you wait! See if I don't piss you off!"
