Xiao Dang said enviously, "Their family even has money to set off firecrackers on the Little New Year."
Banggeng said irritably, "Even if it's Chinese New Year, we don't have money to set off firecrackers. Let's hurry home."
At this moment, Xiao Huaihua said, "No, I want to see. Brother, can you help me buy a pack of firecrackers? It's only 21 cents, and you can buy a hundred firecrackers."
After Banggeng left, Xiaodang questioned Huaihua: "Do you want me to be a thief again?!"
Huaihua retorted, "But, but I really, really want to set off firecrackers." But then she added, "But I'm too scared, so only my sister can set them off for me."
She inherited all of Qin Huairu's shrewdness.
When the fat boy saw them, he waved to Xiao Dang, who happily ran over, sweetly saying, "Big brother!"
"Good girl!" The fat man patted Xiao Dang's head and gave her a few candies.
Seeing this, Little Locust Flower immediately ran over and called out, "Uncle Fatty!"
The fat man gave her a piece as well, and then walked towards the courtyard house.
Even though he had walked some distance, his sharp ears and eyes still heard Huaihua questioning Xiaodang: "Why should I only get one piece, and you get a handful?"
Those two ingrates in the Jia family are beyond saving...
As soon as he entered the room, Yu Li came up to him and put her hands on the fat man's face to warm it.
The fat man pulled a neatly folded newspaper out of his bag.
Yu Li asked in confusion, "What is this?"
"Here are one hundred industrial vouchers."
Yu Li happily accepted it: "My husband is amazing!"
"..."
In the evening, Ran Qiuye came to the courtyard house.
She came to collect tuition fees. In the TV series, Qin Huairu would eat Sha Zhu's lunchboxes every few days, but she would deliberately delay paying them. Not to mention that she hasn't been able to get any money from Sha Zhu for almost a year now, it's even less likely that she would pay.
As soon as Ran Qiuye entered the house, she started complaining about being poor, but Teacher Ran revealed a cruel reality: the school stipulates that tuition fees can only be waived if the average monthly income of the whole family is less than 5 yuan, but her family's per capita income is exactly 5 yuan, which is not enough!
The fat man heard the commotion and called Yu Li to come and see what was going on, but she was engrossed in eating her fish-flavored eggplant and didn't want to go.
A little while later, Bang Geng's stepfather, cough cough, it was Sha Zhu, who went over and busied himself paying the 2.5 yuan tuition fee.
Everything was going smoothly until she ran into Yan Bugui on her way out. Ran Qiuye, whether due to low emotional intelligence or on purpose, said, "I met Master He at the repair shop. He happened to be selling bicycle wheels there that day."
Hey! Yan Bugui quickly took a look and realized that the wheel on Ran Qiuye's bicycle was indeed his own!
Then came this commotion! Before long, people inside and outside the courtyard gathered around to watch the excitement.
Ran Qiuye decisively distanced herself from Sha Zhu: "I never expected you to be this kind of person!" After saying that, she pushed her bicycle and left without mentioning the wheel at all.
Yu Li, who had clearly said she wasn't going to watch the excitement, somehow joined in and whispered to the fat man, "So the case's solved already?"
The fat man pulled her home, saying as they walked, "No wonder she's the daughter of a returned overseas Chinese. She connected everything the moment she saw Sha Zhu. She didn't like Sha Zhu, but didn't want to offend him, so she simply used Uncle San to ruin everything. Impressive!"
Yu Li's eyes practically sparkled with excitement: "Is that so? You said that female teacher's parents are overseas Chinese..."
"..."
The next day, the leaders of the Red Star Factory started their feasting again, beginning to drink from noon onwards.
These days, when the leaders eat, the fat guy has to be in charge of cooking; Sha Zhu has been sidelined for a long time.
I don't know what good thing happened to them today, but when Fatty went in to serve the food, he found that they were already drunk.
Li Huaide was clearly drunk. Under the pretext of needing to urinate, he staggered to the kitchen, hoping to rekindle his old flame with Liu Lan.
Qin Huairu helped Sha Zhu successfully meet Teacher Ran yesterday, so today she's naturally here to fulfill her promise of 10 big white steamed buns.
She was carrying her bag with satisfaction when she ran into Deputy Factory Director Li just as she stepped out.
The drunken Li Huaide felt a surge of heat upon seeing her, his gaze roaming brazenly over Qin Huairu's face, body, and legs. He feigned concern and asked, "Have you seen Liu Lan?"
Qin Huairu replied obediently, "Hello, Deputy Factory Director Li, I haven't seen it. Shall I go look for it for you?"
Li Huaide grabbed her bag: "Don't go! What's in here? Take it out!"
Qin Huairu had no idea that he could change his expression so quickly, and she panicked immediately.
Li Huaide chuckled and said, "Let me have you. If you don't want me to deal with you, come inside with me." With that, he pulled Qin Huairu into the small storeroom.
The commotion outside was quite loud, and even the fat man inside could hear it.
Just as they were about to go in, they heard Qin Huairu shout, "Shazhu, help!"
Oh, you called him Sha Zhu, then it's alright...
I don't know how Sha Zhu's ears are structured. Even though the kitchen was completely empty and the door was closed, Qin Huairu only called out twice, and he actually heard her.
He rushed in like a whirlwind, kicked open the warehouse door, and then the fat man heard a loud banging coming from inside.
The fat man leisurely sipped his tea when he heard Qin Huairu scream from inside: "Stop hitting her! Stop hitting her!"
After calling for a while, he finally stepped inside and shouted, "Shazhu! Stop it right now!"
Sha Zhu was furious. He saw Li Huaide bullying Qin Huairu as if she were his wife, so how could he possibly pay any attention to him?
When Li Huaide saw the fat man, it was like seeing a lifeline: "Hey, fat man, help me!"
The fat man kicked Sha Zhu away.
That should have been the end of it; Qin Huairu was saved, and Li Huaide had a way out. But then, Sha Zhu saw the fat man and his eyes turned extremely red, as if he had seen an enemy!
Taking advantage of the situation, the bastard jumped up from the ground and rushed towards the fat man.
Sha Zhu, having learned from his previous experience, slyly grabbed a handful of cornmeal from the bag next to him, and with a flick of his wrist, a handful of cornmeal covered the fat man's entire front like a shower of flowers.
The sneak attack was a success, and Sha Zhu was overjoyed! He pounced like a hungry tiger, his target being the fat man's waist.
Qin Huairu could see clearly that the fat man didn't even blink. Instead, he took the opportunity to hold down Sha Zhu, who was rushing forward, and pulled him back sharply. He then kicked Sha Zhu in the stomach, sending him flying into the air!
Fatty stepped forward, stomped on Sha Zhu's chest, raised his fist, looked at Sha Zhu's face and said, "Kicking his groin, throwing dust, that's all you've got, you're a disgrace to your ancestors!"
After saying that, he punched Sha Zhu right on the nose with a "plop". Blood gushed out and the bridge of his nose was crooked to one side. It was like a stove had been overturned. Salty, sour and spicy flavors all gushed out of Sha Zhu's nose.
They beat that silly Zhu until his face was covered in blood, it was terrifying!
