In an era when the only household electrical appliances at home were flashlights, owning a radio was definitely a cool thing.
When Xiaoqiang and Laifu heard that this big guy was a radio, they immediately turned into proud little peacocks.
The appearance of the radio hindered Zeng Wangcai's subsequent itinerary, and Xu Damao insisted on seeing the effect of the radio.
Zeng Wangcai did not refuse. He asked Xiaoqiang to go in, move out a stool and put the radio on it.
After a while, the radio started playing Peking Opera...
"Oh, this is a radio!" Yan Bugui was there to watch the fun. He came out of the house when he heard the sound and walked around the radio, full of envy. "It's much better to have this thing at night. I can also listen to the news. How much did you buy it for?"
Zeng Wangcai reported the price.
Yan Bugui took a breath and said, "In our hospital, you are the only one who can afford it. Let's take a look."
Zeng Wangcai smiled, turned off the radio, and asked Xiaoqiang to move into the house.
"Wangcai, don't forget to drink tonight!" Xu Damao said.
"I won't forget it, but it will be later." Zeng Wangcai went into the house and took out a pheasant. "I'll join you. I've seen you bring back some mushrooms, which are just right for stewing chicken."
"Are you slapping me in the face? I invited you to drink and asked you to bring some food. Take it back quickly. I have chickens at home, and they are kept in cages." Xu Damao was unhappy.
He did have chickens at home, which were placed at the door. There were two chickens in a round cage. The number of chickens in his family increased frequently, and most of them were donated by the rural commune.
Zeng Wangcai knew that Xu Damao must have something to ask for dinner, so he refused to accept the favor and stuffed the chicken into Xu Damao's hand: "Here, this is a wild chicken. Although it's not as fat as a domestic chicken, it tastes different. Let's go and come back in the evening."
Yan Bugui looked at Zeng Wangcai's back, then turned around and asked, "Xu Damao, why are you treating me to dinner for no reason? Do you need Zeng Wangcai's help?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Xu Damao rolled his eyes. He didn't want to be taken advantage of.
"Hehe, there really is one!" Yan Bugui was not annoyed, his eyes flashed and he said, "I dare to guarantee that you can't persuade him by yourself."
Xu Damao really had something to discuss with Zeng Wangcai, and it was no small matter.
To be precise, Lou Bancheng had something to do. Lou Bancheng wanted to invite the bigwigs of the First Ministry of Machine Building to dinner, but he couldn't meet the real big shot, so Xu Fugui wanted his son to test Zeng Wangcai's attitude and see if he could make some connections and meet Old Man Liu.
"Look, what did I say?" Yan Bugui said, "You get drunk when you drink. If you treat us, I'm afraid you'll lose your memory before we even get to the point. How can we chat?"
Xu Damao thought about it and realized that it was true.
"Uncle, please help you. Treat me tonight and I'll mediate between you and remind you not to drink too much. How about that?" Yan Bugui took out the knife with a smile, obviously wanting to rub it on the whetstone of Xu Damao's house.
Xu Damao thought about it for two seconds and agreed. After all, one person would eat, and two people would drink, so the important thing was the important matter.
Middle courtyard, Sha Zhu’s house.
After Sha Zhu came back from get off work, He Yushui, who had just returned from playing, discovered the meat and fish at home. He was diligently chopping the meat filling, preparing to make dumplings and freeze them to eat during the New Year.
"Hey, why are you back? Aren't you supposed to be back tomorrow?" Sha Zhu walked into the room, took off his hat and scarf and said.
"It's boring, so I'm back!" He Yushui put the chopped meat aside, untied her apron, and said a little tiredly, "Brother, is this the meat distributed by your company? The steel mill got rich this year or something, so much meat, probably four or five pounds? I chopped it all..."
"Ah? You chopped it all up?" Sha Zhu came over and saw a large bowl of meat stuffing. He said with a bitter face, "Not all of it is from our family. There is also some from the uncle's family. Fortunately, you put some vegetables in it, otherwise your brother would have to cut some meat to compensate others..."
As he spoke, Sha Zhu told the origin of the meat.
He Yushui was very surprised when he learned that Zeng Wangcai had returned and became an official, and brought back a lot of fish and meat. "Brother, didn't you say that Zeng Wangcai left the steel mill to join the army and his future was ruined? How did he become an officer?"
"How would I know? It was the uncle and the others who told me." Sha Zhu started to take out some of the minced meat that his sister had chopped, without weighing it, just about right.
Yi Zhonghai had three kilograms of meat out of five kilograms. He gave one kilogram to his own family and two kilograms to his godson's family.
"Two pounds of meat filling, we brothers and sisters ate it all up!" Sha Zhu kept muttering, forgetting about Qin Jingru.
He Yushui was not impressed with Qin Jingru, and he could not help but remind her: "We are siblings, but if you add my future sister-in-law, it will not be enough. I can't tell that Qin Jingru is small, but she is a big eater. I don't understand, brother, what's so good about Qin Jingru that makes you give up my classmate and be with her."
"You mean Yu Haitang?" Sha Zhu thought about the beauty of the factory and said, "Yu Haitang is not my type. I heard that Yu Haitang likes Zeng Wangcai..."
"Brother, are you confused? Zeng Wangcai already has a fiancée." He Yushui said angrily, "If you want to know what Yu Haitang thinks, why don't you ask me? I'll ask her, isn't that better than asking an old man? Yu Haitang wanted to poach Zeng Wangcai at first, but she just said that. After she learned that Zeng Wangcai was going to join the army, she no longer had this idea."
"real?"
"What's true or false? If you ask me, Yu Haitang is 10,000 times better than Qin Jingru."
He Yushui was worried sick about her silly brother. She felt that something was wrong with her silly brother recently. He wanted to tie his head to Qin Jingru's belt and do whatever Qin Jingru said.
She didn't think Qin Jingru was a good person from the bottom of her heart. Qin Jingru's rural household registration was one reason, but there was another important reason. She felt that Qin Jingru would not be able to do well in the Jia family.
