So what happened? Nobody saw any benefits from it, not even the people in the projection department benefited much from it.
Even if you break down the local specialty into smaller pieces and distribute them to everyone, hand in hand, what if you did it?
But he didn't; he took it all home. He only thought that his family was one of the wealthiest in the neighborhood, never considering that Lou Xiao'e might not need what he had.
Otherwise, why would Lou Xiao'e's father look down on him? He has a typical small-farmer mentality.
But now Zhao Lao Er wished Sha Zhu would just die, so he went straight to the security department and reported Sha Zhu!
Silly Zhu, it's Silly Zhu again, still Silly Zhu!
The factory leaders are increasingly reluctant to hear Sha Zhu's name.
Previously, Li Huaide had hinted that Fatty had some issues with handling relationships with colleagues, causing him some trouble; now he no longer thinks so.
Compared to Sha Zhu, Fatty is practically a model student.
This time, Factory Director Yang didn't talk to Sha Zhu; he just followed the rules and regulations. How could he treat his superiors like dirt?
The next day, the factory showed a movie for its employees and their families, and also treated the leaders of other factories to a meal.
This time, no one mentioned Sha Zhu anymore. Even Director Yang directly named Fatty, specifically asking him to cook for them tonight.
The movie we're showing today is "Ashima".
This film is adapted from the folk narrative poem of the same name, and tells the story of the beautiful girl Ashima and the brave young man Ahei, who bravely pursue love despite the fear of money and power.
The lead actress in this film, in another world's terms, is a national goddess. She is undoubtedly the "number one beauty on screen" of this era.
Upon hearing that they were going to see this movie, everyone in the cafeteria, from Lao Wang to Zhao Long, lost their will to work.
Even MCA, who has long been at odds with everyone, asked Tian Kai, "What do you mean by Ashima?"
Tian Kai had no idea where to go. Old Wang teased him, saying, "You young men shouldn't watch this movie, including Fatty; otherwise, you won't be able to find a wife you like in the future."
The fat man rolled his eyes upon hearing this: "Don't drag me into this. I only love Liu Tianxian."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man sensed something was wrong. Why was the cafeteria so quiet?
Turning her head, she saw that everyone was staring at Liu Lan!
The fat man almost blurted out "grass," which was actually a type of plant...
Liu Lan was completely dazed; she stood there looking as if she were slowly fading away.
Zhao Long nudged Tian Kai with his arm: "See that?"
"What are you looking at?"
"Write this down quickly, you'll need it."
Liu, Liu Tianxian; Liu Lan? The fat man had an urge to crawl into the stove! Why couldn't he control his mouth…
Before Liu Lan could react, he took off running, with Aunt Pang yelling after him, "Why are you running? Now you're scared!"
Liu Lan was also "wake up" by Aunt Pang. She grabbed a rolling pin and chased after her with gritted teeth.
After a while, Old Wang started laughing heartily.
Despite her anger, Aunt Pang couldn't help but burst into loud laughter, "Hehehehehe."
When Fatty ran all the way to the floodlit stadium, he found that there were already quite a few people there. Brother Yang and his "Red Star Five Tigers" had already taken up the best seats in the front row.
The fat man scoffed, "You bumpkin, of course you should sit in the last row when watching a movie..."
Then he pressed the rolling pin against his lower back and said, "Come with me for a moment."
"Ahem, the attention of a large audience is inappropriate."
Liu Lan's voice was trembling with tears: "You've already married such a beautiful wife, why do you still keep bothering me?"
Feeling guilty, the fat man pulled her away, trying to explain on the way: "Would you believe me if I said what happened today was a misunderstanding?"
Liu Lan didn't answer, but silently picked up the rolling pin.
While hiding from Liu Lan, the fat man saw Qin Huairu. She was accompanied by a village girl wearing a red headscarf and a floral jacket; it was undoubtedly Qin Jingru.
She finally decided to introduce her cousin to Sha Zhu? But it's all in vain, Sha Zhu is destined not to have that kind of fate!
That evening, Fatty sent everyone out to watch a movie, except for Liu Lan, who stayed behind to help him.
Liu Lan held a knife in one hand and a stick in the other, scaring the fat man so much that he didn't dare to breathe: "Sister, remember to wash your hands after you finish shredding the meat."
Liu Lan slammed the knife down hard on the cutting board! It broke.
The shredded meat broke...
After finishing the last dish of the day, the fat man packed up the rest of the food and took it away with a satisfied look on his face.
Everyone else went straight home after the movie; no one tried to take it from him. As for Liu Lan, she was already full…
Back home, Chen Yan curiously opened the lunchbox: "What's this?"
"Wow! Braised pork!"
Upon hearing the commotion, Yu Li came out as well: "Where? Where?"
The fat man was very pleased with his son's love for meat.
During dinner, Yu Li and Chen Yan chattered: "Hey, did you hear? Qin Huairu introduced a guy to Sha Zhu. He's from the countryside, and he's quite handsome."
Because Fatty filled in for Sha Zhu today, he wasn't delayed and met Qin Jingru at the Jia family's house for dinner.
The two of them took a liking to each other at first sight. Qin Jingru didn't mind that he was old, especially since his family relationships were simple and she didn't have to take care of the elderly.
He's also a cook, and he often brings groceries home, earning a high salary of 37.5 yuan a month!
Madam Jia even used Yu Li as an example: "Jingru, Yu Li, who lives in our front yard, isn't even as pretty as you. She married a cook from the factory, and that guy is living the high life right away. He eats fine food every day, wears new clothes and shoes, and so many people in this yard envy him... Her husband is just an apprentice, while Sha Zhu is a master chef. If you marry him, you'll definitely make a good choice!"
Hearing this, Qin Jingru became even more determined to be with Sha Zhu. Beside her, Qin Huairu felt a mix of sourness and bitterness, her mood becoming increasingly unpleasant.
All those methods that had worked so well for years were completely useless against Fatty and his wife.
Sympathy? That fat man's heart is as cold as ice. He doesn't know what sympathy is at all! He never helps her family, and even Lou Xiao'e might give her something someday.
Seduction? Forget about it. She knew very well who she could mess with and who she couldn't. Even when Guo Da Piezi took advantage of her, she could only endure it.
Qin Huairu became more and more annoyed, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Suddenly, she started to pull and tug at Sha Zhu.
His expression and movements were so natural, as if they had been honed through countless trials, that even Qin Jingru frowned upon seeing them…
Nothing happened that night.
Xu Damao didn't delay Sha Zhu's meeting with Qin Jingru, and Sha Zhu didn't take off his underwear either.
Lou Xiao'e naturally didn't fight with him because her underwear was missing.
