Chapter 43: Treat yourself to a meal (please support me!)
When Xu Damao heard what Yan Bugui said, he took out a bunch of dried mushrooms from the bag and said to Yan Bugui with a smile: "Third uncle! In the past half month, I went to the countryside to play movies. The fellow villagers gave it to me. Dried mushrooms, take some back and try them.”
When Yan Bugui saw the bunch of dried mushrooms that Xu Damao handed him, his eyes suddenly lit up and he happily thanked Xu Damao: "Da Mao! The third uncle is here to thank you for the dried mushrooms."
After Xu Damao and Yan Bugui separated, he first returned to the backyard with two bags of dry goods. When he saw Xu Fugui sitting at home drinking tea, he smiled and said, "Dad! I'm back from the countryside?"
When Xu Fugui heard Xu Damao's cry, he put down the big teapot in his hand and asked Xu Damao with a smile: "Da Mao! Is everything going well this time when I go to the countryside?"
When Xu Damao heard his father's inquiry, he put the two bags of dry goods in his hand on the table and replied with a smile: "Dad! Everything went well."
When Xu Damao said this, he thought of the news Yan Bugui told him and quickly asked Xu Fugui: "Dad! When I was passing by the front yard just now, I heard Yan Bugui say that Wu Aiguo, who is next door to us, returned from the army and was assigned to Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative, serves as deputy section chief of the purchasing department. Is this news true? ”
When Xu Fugui heard Xu Damao's inquiry, he was filled with emotion when he thought that Wu Aiguo, a street kid, had been a soldier for several years and became a cadre after returning from the army.
"Da Mao! This Wu Aiguo came back from joining the army as if he was a different person. He will definitely have a bright future in the future. If you can have a good relationship with him, try your best to have a good relationship with him."
When Xu Damao heard Xu Fugui's instructions, he nodded subconsciously and asked Xu Fugui quickly: "Dad! I heard from Yan Bugui that Wu Aiguo is going to invite people in the courtyard to a banquet today. Has he invited our family?" ”
When Xu Fugui heard Xu Damao's inquiry, he nodded instinctively and replied: "Of course I will, and it was Wu Aiguo who came to invite me personally."
When Xu Damao learned that Wu Aiguo invited his family to have a dinner, he picked up most of the bag of dry goods on the table and said with a smile: "Dad! I will send this half of the bag of dry goods to Wu Aiguo as a gift for his move-in."
Xu Damao came to the front yard carrying half a bag of dry goods. He happened to see Wu Aiguo coming out of the house. He smiled and said to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! I just came back from going to the countryside today, and then I heard the news that you have returned from the army. This bag of dry goods was given to me by fellow villagers, and I made a special trip to give it to you to try!”
Wu Aiguo owns a huge port, and there will be nothing in it. Naturally, he despises the dry goods sent by Xu Damao, but he can't hit the smiley man with his hand. In addition, if there is any conflict between the Wu and Xu families, Wu Aiguo will accept the goods sent by Xu Damao. He smiled and thanked: "Da Mao! Thank you then."
When Xu Damao heard Wu Aiguo's thanks, he also found that the current Wu Aiguo was completely similar to the Wu Aiguo five years ago. He smiled and replied: "It's just some useful information, why do you have to be polite to me? ”
Wu Aiguo heard Xu Damao's words and replied with a smile: "Da Mao! Since you said so, I won't be polite to you."
At about four o'clock in the evening, Yan Bugui took several young people in the hospital to set up tables in the whole hospital. Wu Aiguo took out the candies, peanuts and melon seeds that had been prepared in advance and asked Yan Bugui to help put a table on each table. plate, and then invite everyone to take their seats. Jia Zhang, who had been waiting for a whole day, saw the candies and peanuts and melon seeds on the table. She quickly stretched out her chubby hands, grabbed a large handful in front of other people in the courtyard, and then stuffed them into herself. in his pocket.
Several women at the same table saw Jia Zhang snatching away most of the sugar, peanuts and melon seeds on the plate. One woman immediately questioned Jia Zhang: "Jia Zhang! No one has started yet." Eat, you just take away most of it, how can you do this?”
When Jia Zhang heard the question from the courtyard gate, instead of feeling guilty for her behavior, she answered matter-of-factly: "It's from Lao Wang's family! What I took is not yours, so what does it have to do with you?" < br>
Another woman, hearing Jia Zhang's arrogant and unreasonable retort, accused Jia Zhang with dissatisfaction: "Jia Zhang! The candies and peanuts and melon seeds on the table are patriotic and distributed to everyone. They belong to all of us. So, you are taking more and taking more, and you are obviously poaching the enemy!”
"Isn't there more than half of the things on this plate? You guys, stop talking!" Yi Zhonghai, who was sitting at the next table, saw that Jia Zhang was besieged by the women at the same table, and even attacked Jia Zhang. Zhang went online and instinctively shouted to several women.
If it were in the past, several women would definitely choose to remain silent when they heard Yi Zhonghai's reprimand. Since the end of the last hospital meeting, Yi Zhonghai's prestige in the courtyard has fallen to a low point. The attitude of several women towards Yi Zhonghai , no longer as submissive as in the past.
"Master! I found that you really care about the Jia family's affairs. You actually defend the Jia Zhang family at all times. If we hadn't lived in this courtyard for so many years, I would have thought you were the Jia Zhang family's man. "When an aunt heard Yi Zhonghai's scolding, she didn't give the other party any face and directly laughed at Yi Zhonghai.
The aunt's ridicule made Yi Zhonghai feel that he would never come to Taiwan. If Wu Aiguo hadn't treated him to a banquet today, Yi Zhonghai would have definitely gotten up and left the front yard.
Xu Damao, who was sitting at another table, saw that the aunts in the courtyard dared to mock Yi Zhonghai in public, which made him feel as if he had seen something incredible. He asked Xu Fugui in a low voice: "Dad ! Why did our yard change after I left for more than half a month? What is going on? ”
When Xu Fugui heard Xu Damao's inquiry, he thought of the last hospital meeting and whispered to Xu Damao: "This is not the place to talk. I will tell you the specific situation when I go home after dinner."
The noise in the yard also alarmed Wu Aiguo who was in the house. Wu Aiguo, who understood the reason, immediately picked up the bag containing candies and peanuts and walked out of the house quickly.
Wu Aiguo walked to the table, grabbed a handful of candies from the bag, put them on the plate, and greeted the aunts with a smile: "Aunts, today is a good day for me to move into my house. I didn't greet you well. Please forgive me.”
The appearance of Wu Aiguo immediately relieved the atmosphere at the scene, and at this moment, several helping aunts walked out of the room carrying steamed buns and pork belly.
After Wu Aiguo saw the food being served, he picked up a cup, smiled and said loudly to everyone in the courtyard: "Dear neighbors, first of all, on behalf of our whole family, I would like to thank you very much for coming to help me warm my new house. I also hope that Everyone can eat and drink well today.”
