~7 min read 1,279 words

Song Yulan grabbed Cao Weiguo's arm nervously: "Dear, there are too many people here!"

Cao Weiguo smiled: "Don't be afraid of many people, Brother Xu saved us seats."

Passing through the dense crowd, Cao Weiguo took Song Yulan straight to the position of the projector.

"Weiguo! Sister-in-law!"

"Come, sit here!"

Seeing the couple, Xu Damao immediately greeted them enthusiastically.

He took the couple to the best viewing position, where a few empty benches were left.

Xu Damao wiped the bench surface with his sleeve: "Sit! This position is the most comfortable for watching the movie!"

Cao Weiguo and Song Yulan sat down amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.

Song Yulan said happily: "Thanks, Brother Xu."

It was her first time sitting in such a good seat to watch a movie.

Before, in the village, she could only watch from afar or climb onto a haystack to watch.

She couldn't see clearly, couldn't hear clearly, and could only vaguely see people moving back and forth.

Xu Damao smiled: "What kind of relationship do I have with Weiguo? Sister-in-law, don't be a stranger with me."

Cao Weiguo took a handful of coconut candy out of his pocket and stuffed it to Xu Damao:

"Brother Xu, have a few pieces while showing the movie."

Xu Damao smiled: "Coconut candy, this is a rare thing."

The two were talking when Qin Huairu came over with Banggeng on her back.

"Qin Huairu, you can't sit here!"

Xu Damao said anxiously: "These are seats I saved for the leaders!"

Qin Huairu said pitifully: "Damao, have some pity for Banggeng, his leg can't stand for long."

If it were anything else, Xu Damao would definitely curry favor with Qin Huairu.

But these seats were for him to curry favor with the leaders, which concerned his human relationships and future.

Xu Damao said: "Qin Jie, these seats really won't work; I've already agreed with the leaders, I can't let myself lose credibility with the leaders."

If these benches were sat on by Qin Huairu and her son, what would happen when the leaders came?

Without the leaders' seats, how would he mix in the future?

Although this Qin widow was very beautiful, his future was more important!

He weighed the importance of things clearly in his heart.

Banggeng pointed at Cao Weiguo and his wife unhappily: "Then why can they sit?"

Cao Weiguo's eyes instantly turned cold: "Who are you pointing at? Do you believe I'll break your hand!"

Banggeng was terrified and hurriedly lowered his hand.

Qin Huairu said angrily: "Cao Weiguo, Banggeng is still a child, how can you be like this!"

Cao Weiguo said coldly: "Children should be strictly disciplined even more, let him know what politeness is."

Seeing this, Xu Damao hurriedly said: "Qin Jie, take Banggeng somewhere else; the leaders will be here soon, don't make it difficult for me."

Banggeng said unconvinced: "They can sit here, I want to sit here too."

Xu Damao glared at Banggeng: "What are you! Get out of here!"

Qin Huairu said angrily: "Xu Damao, say that again!"

She didn't care about herself!

But bullying her son was not allowed!

Xu Damao threatened with an ugly expression: "Qin Huairu, don't force me to turn over old accounts!"

This sentence made Qin Huairu feel timid in her heart.

She had taken advantage of Xu Damao quite a bit, and there were quite a few sordid transactions.

Although the transactions weren't completed, if Xu Damao were to turn them over.

Then she wouldn't be able to face people!

"Let's go! Who cares about sitting here."

Qin Huairu left with Banggeng, looking unhappy.

Banggeng glared at Xu Damao and Cao Weiguo with resentment.

In a short while, several cadres from the Rolling Mill and the machinery factory arrived here.

"Director Cao! You came so early!"

"Director Liu!"

"Director Cao, who is this?"

"This is my wife, Song Yulan."

"So that's the sister-in-law, you see this is our first meeting, and I didn't bring a gift."

"Hahaha... Director Liu is too polite."

Cao Weiguo chatted with several cadres, and Song Yulan sat on the side, feeling a bit constrained.

She had rarely gone out since she married over.

It was her first time seeing so many people, so she couldn't help but be a bit shy.

Fortunately, there weren't many leaders watching the movie, and their attitudes were very kind.

Standing in the crowd, the Second Uncle looked at Cao Weiguo with jealousy.

He dreamed of chatting and laughing with a group of cadres!

Cao Weiguo took a handful of coconut candy out of his pocket: "Come, taste this coconut candy."

Several cadres each took a piece, all able to taste something fresh.

"Coconut candy!"

"This is a specialty from the south!"

"Hey! This taste is really fragrant."

Eating the coconut candy, several cadres were both curious and happy.

Director Feng said: "Brother Cao, you're capable, being able to get such a rare thing."

Cao Weiguo smiled: "A friend gave it to me, let me taste something fresh."

Security Section Chief Guo leaned over: "Director Cao, I want to ask you for a favor."

Cao Weiguo said: "Section Chief Guo, why be so polite, if you have something to say, just say it; if I can help, I will definitely help."

Section Chief Guo said: "My younger brother is getting married, and he wants to buy a bicycle, but he's worrying about not being able to get a ticket; see if you can exchange the ticket the factory rewarded you with for me; don't worry, I definitely won't let you down."

Cao Weiguo laughed heartily: "Hey, I thought it was something else; just take this ticket as my wedding gift."

Saying that, Cao Weiguo took the bicycle ticket out of his pocket and handed it to Section Chief Guo.

Section Chief Guo retreated hurriedly: "This won't do, this gift is too valuable."

Cao Weiguo grabbed Section Chief Guo's hand and stuffed the bicycle ticket into it.

"Is Section Chief Guo being a stranger with me? Or looking down on me?"

Section Chief Guo held the bicycle ticket and said hurriedly: "Director Cao, what are you saying? I'm not being a stranger, and I wouldn't dare look down on Director Cao; it's just that this bicycle ticket is too valuable."

Cao Weiguo said: "Since Section Chief Guo says so, then accept the ticket; call me 'younger brother' in the future, this ticket is the wedding gift I'm giving to our younger brother."

Section Chief Guo said: "Younger brother is righteous! This favor, your brother will keep in his heart!"

Director Feng laughed loudly: "Hahaha... you brothers, stop being so polite here. Another day, our group of brothers will find a good place to have a few drinks."

Section Chief Guo said generously: "No need for another day. Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival; I'll treat you brothers to hot pot and good wine at Donglaishun."

Cao Weiguo smiled: "Then I'm in for a treat!"

Director Feng gave a thumbs up: "Section Chief Guo is generous!"

The other directors and deputy directors also chimed in with flattery and cheers.

While they were talking, the movie started.

The group chatted and laughed as they watched "Little Soldier Zhang Ga."

It was Song Yulan's first time watching this movie; she watched it with undivided attention, occasionally amused by the interesting plot points.

Because she was so engrossed, she didn't even have time to eat the melon seeds Xu Damao had brought over.

After watching for a few moments, Cao Weiguo chatted with the directors while cracking melon seeds on the side.

They talked about various interesting things happening inside and outside the factory.
