Soon after, Fatty heard the commotion and Sha Zhu returned. Instead of going back to his own room, he headed straight for Qin Huairu's house.
That behavior was as if he were eagerly offering money to Qin Huairu.
Fatty knew Qin Huairu would definitely complain. Let her be; Sha Zhu was being bullied to the point of being unrecognizable.
The canteen wouldn't let him go back, and staying in the workshop only resulted in producing waste products, plus he was targeted by Liu Yuhua and a group of other female employees.
By the way, speaking of Liu Yuhua, she got married. She married another factory worker, and now they're both employed and living a wonderful life!
On the day Liu Yuhua got married, everyone in the workshop received wedding candy, except for Sha Zhu.
She even took her man to mock Sha Zhu: "See? He's over thirty and still a bachelor. He's destined to never get married and is only fit to sleep with widows!"
They almost drove Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu crazy...
When Fatty went back to the house, Xiao Dang was eating roast chicken.
With its cheeks bulging out, it ate while its eyes warily surveyed its surroundings, much like the groundhog the fat man encountered on National Highway 318.
Upon seeing the fat man enter, Little Donnie Yen immediately stood up in a panic, swallowing hard as he mumbled, "Uncle Fatty, hello..."
The fat man poured her a glass of water and comforted her, saying, "Eat slowly."
Xiao Dang was completely dizzy and couldn't believe what was happening in front of her.
Such fragrant and delicious roast chicken, and orange-flavored water too. Uncle Pang is so generous, and his family is really rich.
How wonderful it would be if their family could live such a life.
But then Xiao Dang realized that even if she had these things, she should eat the stems and locust flowers first, and her bright eyes quickly dimmed again.
Xiao Dang ate a quarter of a roast chicken and drank two glasses of orange juice, then stood up contentedly.
Yu Li came over and affectionately pinched her nose, then took her to wash her face and hands without mentioning it.
By the way, this orange-flavored solid beverage powder was also made in Stardew Valley. As soon as Fatty took it out, it became the family's go-to drink. Yu Li and Chen Yan couldn't get enough of it...
The fat man poured himself a glass, reminiscing as he listened to Xiao Dang and Yu Li in the kitchen saying, "Thank you, Auntie. I've never eaten such delicious roast chicken or drunk such sweet orange juice."
"This child is so sensible." Yu Li beamed with joy, wiping her mouth with warm water as she asked, "What do you usually eat at home?"
"Grain porridge, cornbread, and my mom said she'd make steamed rice cakes for us before the New Year. They're so big, I can eat four of them in one sitting!"
Fatty remembered the steamed rice cake. In the TV series, Qin Huairu served Sha Zhu two pieces, which he didn't like. But Qin Huairu said, "This is the best meal the children have before the New Year. This steamed rice cake is so big, Bang Geng can eat eight pieces in one sitting."
There's no oil or fat in my belly...
That evening, Yan Bugui came to our door while we were having dinner.
When he saw a plate of pickled scallions and a plate of roast chicken on the fat man's table, and that he was eating steamed buns made of white flour, his eyes bulged so much they almost popped out from behind his glasses.
The fat man said impatiently, "Do you have anything to say?"
Yan Bugui then remembered his purpose: "The New Year is coming soon, and I want to get everyone together for a meeting. We can't let this tradition go to waste."
The fat man readily agreed: "Okay, just call me when the time comes."
When Yan Bugui arrived at Qin Huairu's house, he found only Banggeng and Huaihua sitting at the table eating, with Xiaodang watching from the side.
Qin Huairu added, "You're well-fed and clothed every day, you don't need to eat so well anymore. You never even bring back some good food for your brother, but you're the only one eating so much that your mouth is greasy!"
Little Dang weakly protested, "Uncle Fatty didn't say 'take'..."
Qin Huairu was even angrier now: "You learn from the same people! Their whole family are no good people, you're not allowed to go there again!"
Yan Bugui then spoke up: "Who are you angry with?"
When Qin Huairu saw it was him, she rolled her eyes and said, "Who else could it be but the fat guy from your front yard!"
Yan Bugui pondered for a moment: "I went to his house just now, and he was eating roast chicken. As soon as I smelled it, I knew it was authentic Daokou roast chicken, no doubt about it!"
Upon hearing the word "roast chicken," Bang Geng suddenly lost interest in the cornbread in his hand. Jia Zhangshi put down her bowl and asked irritably, "Yan Bugui, are you serious? You're talking about roast chicken? Have you even eaten it? What are you doing here?"
Yan Bugui then remembered and quickly told his family about the meeting that was held before the New Year.
When it comes to meetings, the Jia family is undoubtedly the most enthusiastic. They never miss a single one of the college-wide meetings. How could Qin Huairu let go of such a perfect opportunity to play the victim?
"It's time to hold a meeting. The community here is becoming increasingly disunited and unfriendly."
"..."
The next day, as soon as Fatty returned, he heard Yu Li tell him, "Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu are together!"
The fat man was taken aback. The timing was wrong.
Yu Li pointed to the Central Courtyard and said to him, "This afternoon, Jia Zhangshi moved the sticks to the room in the rainy area."
Fatty then remembered that Sha Zhu had given Qin Huairu thirty yuan to buy new clothes for the children.
The fat man could guess his thoughts. He was probably disheartened by Liu Yuhua's actions and had given up on finding a virgin. He now regarded Qin Huairu's three children as his own.
The problem is, if you treat a hamster like a son, will the hamster acknowledge you as its silly father?
The next day, it was Sunday again.
Xu Damao had given him a few pounds of Cantonese sausages before, and the fat man cooked them today, planning to slice them thinly and make claypot rice later.
The fragrance drifted on the wind into Yan Bugui's house and also into Qin Huairu's house.
Of course they were jealous, but they all knew it was a gift from Xu Damao. Qin Jingru had cooked it last night, making them incredibly envious!
But that's exactly it; Qin Huairu couldn't get a single bit of credit.
She had a sudden inspiration and said to Banggeng, "Take the locust flowers to visit your aunt."
Upon hearing this, Banggeng grabbed Huaihua and ran off, ignoring Xiaodang who was standing right next to him.
As a result, Bang Geng was dragged out of the house by the ear by Qin Jingru: "Go, go, go back to your own home. Don't bother me again if there's nothing wrong!"
When Banggeng came back and repeated this, Qin Huairu was so angry that she almost bit her teeth to pieces.
Yan Bugui was also left out. The moment he pushed open the door to Xu Damao's house, Qin Jingru swiftly grabbed a sausage...
Trying to take advantage of Qin Jingru, Grandma!
※※※※※※
Ran Qiuye walked into the courtyard and subconsciously wrinkled her nose. It smelled so good.
The fat man happened to come out of the kitchen and greeted her, "Oh, it's Teacher Ran! What brings you here?"
Ran Qiuye greeted him somewhat flusteredly.
It wasn't because of any sense of modesty, but because of her poor family background. Now the school wouldn't let her be a teacher anymore, and she could only do cleaning work every day. The other teachers regarded her as a venomous snake and avoided her like the plague; no one had greeted her in a long time.
