Chapter 1499: Busy

Nanluoguxiang

After sending Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao out the door, Cao Weiguo let out a big breath. The noisy courtyard returned to tranquility, and he felt his ears become relaxed.

This half-day of welcoming and sending off made Cao Weiguo exhausted. It seems that having a good popularity is also a kind of pressure.

Song Yulan poked her head out of the kitchen and shouted: "Weiguo, the dumplings are ready."

Song Yujuan set dishes on the table one by one from the kitchen and also warmed a pot of wine for Cao Weiguo.

The family sat together, eating happily. Little Ping'an, who didn't understand anything, made a fortune today, but those New Year's money were all kept by his mother.

After lunch, Cao Weiguo went out with big and small bags. During the New Year, he had to exercise his ability as a time management master. The red flag at home didn't fall, and the colored flags outside fluttered.

Fortunately, Yu Li, Ding Qiunan, and Su Mei went home to accompany their parents for the New Year, so Cao Weiguo only needed to take good care of Bai Lijuan and Chen Xueru.

"My good son."

Arriving at Bai Lijuan's place, Cao Weiguo hugged his chubby son and loved him for a while.

Bai Lijuan put the things away and said with a resentful face: "You still know how to come over? I thought you had forgotten about your son."

Cao Weiguo smiled: "That's impossible. Even if I forget anyone, I can't forget you and my son."

Qin Jingru went home for the New Year. Without this light bulb, Cao Weiguo and Bai Lijuan could be said to be unscrupulous.

After coaxing the child to sleep, the two were entangled in the room, wishing they could rub the two people together.

After exhausting all his efforts, Cao Weiguo finally fed Bai Lijuan, eliminated the resentment in Bai Lijuan's heart, and turned from a mother tiger back into a little kitten.

But after coming out of Bai Lijuan's house, Cao Weiguo had to rush to Chen Xueru's house without stopping.

When he returned to Nanluoguxiang again, his hand was already supporting his waist, and his lips were slightly pale.

At thirty, one is like a wolf; at forty, one is like a tiger!

The ancients did not deceive me!

"Brother Weiguo!"

"Big Section Chief Cao, you are really a busy person. You can't be idle even during the New Year."

When Cao Weiguo returned home, He Yushui and Yu Haitang looked up together.

These two ran over after lunch and followed Song Yulan's sisters to organize the gifts piled up like a small mountain.

Looking at the good things all over the floor, both of them were envious.

Especially Yu Haitang's heart could be said to be mixed with all kinds of flavors. If she hadn't turned Cao Weiguo away, everything in front of her should have been hers.

Cao Weiguo picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water, picked up the glass and drank it like a cow. After putting down the glass, he said with a smile: "I also want to steal some leisure from being busy. Sigh, it's a pity that people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. During festivals, the etiquette cannot be less. I quite envy you. You are on vacation during the New Year. If you want to sleep in, you can sleep in. If you want to chat, you can chat. Leisurely and comfortable, how happy."

Yu Haitang curled her lips and said: "Alright, Big Section Chief Cao, you are in the blessing and don't know the blessing. Do you know how many people envy you? You became a Section Chief at a young age. Just like me, I want to be as busy as you, but I have to have the qualification to be busy. I have been working in the Propaganda Section for a long time, and until now, I am just an ordinary broadcaster. I only have twenty-something yuan of salary every month. I can't even bear to buy good new clothes for the New Year."

He Yushui teased from the side: "Yo yo yo, whose vinegar jar was overturned? So sour."

Yu Haitang's face turned red, and she pounced on He Yushui with claws and teeth: "Alright, you stinky girl, laughing at me, watch how I deal with you."

Song Yulan watched the two fighting in the room and couldn't help but smile: "You are like children. Alright, stop making trouble. Taste the sugar-fried chestnuts I made."

"Ring ring ring!"

The phone at home suddenly rang. Cao Weiguo walked over and picked up the phone: "Hello, um, I know, please rest assured, leader..."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Weiguo said helplessly: "Alright, you guys eat and drink, I have to go out again."

Song Yulan took a woolen coat from the hanger: "Wear more, it's cold outside."

Watching Cao Weiguo rush out, several women couldn't help but shake their heads. It seems that being a leader is not so easy to be. A phone call calls people out during the New Year, and there is no time to accompany the family for the New Year.

Red Star Courtyard

Qin Huairu was wiping tears with a sad face. Since returning from the juvenile detention center, her tears hadn't stopped, which made Seeing Shazhu and Yi Zhonghai feel pained, wishing they could hold this poor woman in their arms to comfort her.

Outsiders felt pained for Qin Huairu, this poor woman. On the contrary, Qin Huairu's mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi, stared with triangular eyes and pointed at Qin Huairu to scold: "You useless thing! My Jia family is truly unlucky for eighteen lifetimes. How could we marry you, this jinx, into the door? Cursing my son wasn't enough, and now you come to curse my grandson. Are you satisfied only when our Jia family has no descendants?"

Seeing Shazhu felt pained: "Auntie Zhang, what are you saying? Huairu has been working hard to raise a whole family. A woman has to go to work and serve your eating, drinking, and shitting. Is it easy for her? You speak too heartlessly."

"Dog thing, what does me scolding my daughter-in-law have to do with you? What are you? What qualification do you have to point fingers in my Jia family? Shameless cheap seed, you feel pained because I scolded my daughter-in-law? Tell me, do you have an affair with my daughter-in-law!"

Jia Zhangshi exploded on the spot, pointing at Seeing Shazhu's nose and scolding him, making Seeing Shazhu's face red and his neck thick.

Qin Huairu wiped her tears and shouted angrily: "Mom, stop arguing! I'm already uncomfortable enough. Bang Geng hasn't even reached adulthood and has already been to the juvenile detention center several times. What will he do in the future? With these bad records, it will be difficult for him to find a job in the future. If you had listened to me before and strictly disciplined Bang Geng, could today's matter have happened? You are still making a scene now. Are you satisfied only when you break this family apart?"

Jia Zhangshi was so angry she raised her hand to slap Qin Huairu, but Qin Huairu grabbed her wrist in one motion.

Because of the matter with Banggeng, Qin Huairu was now filled with resentment toward Jia Zhangshi.

Thinking of Banggeng's miserable appearance in the juvenile detention center and his lack of repentance, her heart ached as if it were being twisted by a knife.

"I did nothing wrong. It was just some leftover food that no one was eating; what's the harm in me taking a little!"

"Mom! I did nothing wrong. I don't want to go to jail, hurry and save me!"

"It's just a little bit of food, what's the big deal? Is it worth arresting someone? Mom, the people at your factory are just bullying me. You have to stand up for me. I don't want to stay here anymore; it's too cold here, I want to go home."

Banggeng was weeping inside, but there wasn't a shred of repentance or reflection in his words, which made even Qin Huairu feel disappointed and angry, let alone the disciplinary staff at the juvenile detention center.

He had stolen public property and still didn't have the slightest attitude of admitting his mistake. What on earth was wrong with Banggeng, and how did he turn into such a reckless, unrepentant person?

Qin Huairu walked out of the juvenile detention center in a daze, Banggeng's wailing and cursing constantly replaying in her mind. While her heart ached for Banggeng, she also felt a growing resentment toward Jia Zhangshi.

If it weren't for Jia Zhangshi's doting and instigation, Banggeng would never have picked up the bad habit of petty theft.
