Forty minutes later, Qin Huairu left Wang Dabao's house leisurely.
Looking at the braised pork in the bowl, Qin Huairu felt a mix of emotions.
Suddenly, Qin Huairu stopped in her tracks, thinking of Yu Li. Could it be that her bowl of meat was also taken away in the same way?
Recalling the expression on Yu Li's face and the way she quickly left her front door.
Qin Huairu became increasingly alarmed as she thought about it, but her first thought was how to surpass Yu Li in winning over Wang Dabao.
Looking at the braised pork in the bowl, Qin Huairu swallowed hard and thought to herself, "Since things have already come to this, it seems I should visit Wang Dabao more often in the future. I can't let Yu Li take all the benefits."
Yu Li can cook, and so can I.
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu smiled. Using laundry, cooking, and cleaning as an excuse was perfect!
Qin Huairu smiled with satisfaction and swayed as she walked towards the central courtyard.
Jia Zhangshi had been peering out the door for a long time. If she hadn't been at odds with Wang Dabao, she would have gone to his house by now.
"Qin Huairu, why are you only coming back now?"
Upon seeing Qin Huairu appear, Jia Zhangshi glared and said with dissatisfaction. But when she saw the meat in the bowl, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took the bowl from him. "That little beast Wang Dabao still has some conscience."
"Mom, putting aside the fact that our family has a grudge against Wang Dabao, how could he possibly give us meat for no reason?"
Qin Huairu sighed, "I earned this through my own labor. I washed a lot of dirty clothes and helped him clean the house to bring back so much meat."
Qin Huairu was right; the meat was indeed the fruit of her labor.
"You can get meat to eat by doing laundry and some chores. Qin Huairu, you have to go next time. It's such a good deal."
Jia Zhangshi didn't care how long Qin Huairu had been gone or how tired she was from working. All she could see was the bowl of meat in her hand. "Oh, right, Old Yan's daughter-in-law said she was helping Wang Dabao cook, that's why she got the meat. Next time, keep a close eye on things and go help Wang Dabao when you see him cooking meat dishes. Don't let Old Yan's daughter-in-law get there first."
"Okay, Mom, I understand."
Qin Huairu said bitterly, her hands constantly pounding her lower back.
"Grandma, has Mom brought back any meat? It smells so good."
Banggeng rushed out of the house in a flash, snatched the braised pork from Jia Zhangshi's hand, his mouth watering so much he almost dropped it into his bowl, and quickly picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, chewing it heartily. "So delicious, it's really too good!"
"Brother, Xiao Dang wants to eat too."
Xiao Dang, standing nearby, kept swallowing her saliva, her mouth watering.
"You good-for-nothing, what are you eating for? If you want to eat, you have to wait until your brother has eaten his fill before it's your turn."
Jia Zhangshi reached out to pinch Xiao Dang's ear, which frightened Xiao Dang so much that he hurriedly ran into Qin Huairu's arms. Then Jia Zhangshi smiled and looked at Banggeng, "My dear grandson, give Grandma a piece so that Grandma can have a taste too."
Qin Huairu couldn't bear to see Xiao Dang looking so wronged, so she said to Banggeng, "Banggeng, you're the older brother, give Xiao Dang a small piece of meat to eat."
Banggeng stuffed two more large pieces into his mouth before reluctantly giving Jia Zhangshi and Xiao Dang each a small piece.
"Mom, I've been squatting and washing clothes for ages, and my back is a little sore. I'm going to check on Huaihua and lie down on the kang for a while."
Qin Huairu was indeed experiencing some back pain, so she quickly pulled Xiao Dang into the house.
Meanwhile, Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng were completely oblivious to Qin Huairu's unusual behavior; their attention was entirely focused on the braised pork.
Lying in bed, Qin Huairu was in turmoil.
Wang Dabao was lying comfortably on the sofa, smoking a cigarette.
With a thought, a bag of snacks and a few White Rabbit milk candies appeared in his hand.
There are too many snacks in the warehouse; we can't possibly finish them all.
Wang Dabao sighed inwardly, realizing he had thoroughly grasped the essence of Cao Cao's legacy. He wondered how many points Cao Cao would award him for this achievement.
Ahem, I've been in the compound for a few days now, and I don't think I've seen He Yushui yet. She should be eighteen this year, right? Yushui is a good kid, but she and her brother Shazhu are natural enemies.
And there's Qin Jingru, the silly girl, who doesn't seem to be as old as He Yushui. Looks like I've arrived too early!
Wang Dabao lay on the sofa with his eyes closed, pondering who the other female characters in the TV series were. Oh right, there was Yu Li's younger sister, Yu Haitang. That girl should be eighteen this year.
In a daze, Wang Dabao fell asleep on the sofa.
When a person is not preoccupied with trivial matters, they fall asleep quickly and sleep comfortably. Wang Dabao was awakened by loud knocking on the door.
Who is it?
"Brother Da Bao, this is me, Lao Yan."
Wang Dabao frowned. Shouldn't Yan Bugui be at school at this time?
He got up and opened the door.
"Hey Lao Yan, don't you have to go to work? What are you doing in the yard?"
"Hey, what time is it? You got off work early and came back. This is the bowl that Yu Li took from you at noon."
Yan Bugui looked flustered, his small eyes behind his glasses were much wider than usual, but he didn't forget to hand the bowl to Wang Dabao, "Dabao, hurry up, something's happened, come with me quickly."
"Hey, tell me what it is first."
Wang Dabao rubbed his eyes, took out a cigarette, and lit it.
When Yan Bugui saw the Zhonghua cigarettes in Wang Dabao's hand, he immediately stopped being anxious and his expression changed. He shamelessly approached Wang Dabao and said, "Oh, Dabao, these are good cigarettes. You need cigarette coupons to buy them, right?"
"When I returned from military service, my superiors gave me a few boxes."
Seeing Yan Bugui's demeanor shift from anxious and agitated to cheerful and casual conversation, Wang Dabao knew that the incident he mentioned was probably nothing serious. "Want some?"
"I wouldn't dare. This one cigarette is worth half a day's wages for me."
Yan Bugui waved his hand, but moved closer and closer, "How about we take advantage of Brother Dabao and have one?"
Yan Bugui took a puff and was about to exclaim how good this cigarette was when he suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit.
He slapped his forehead hard. "How could I forget the important matter? Brother Da Bao, let's hurry up and go. Xu Damao beat up Sha Zhu."
Wang Dabao was stunned. What? He was sure he hadn't misspoke.
Can Xu Damao defeat Sha Zhu?
