At this moment, Sha Zhu and He Yushui also helped the deaf old lady to her doorstep.
Before dusk, Sha Zhu had already removed the stove chimney and moved it to the west side of the doorway, where he also prepared two small stools.
Sha Zhu chuckled as he placed the deaf old woman's stool near the stove.
"Hey, grandma, look at the service your grandson is providing! It's the only one of its kind in the whole compound. We're warming ourselves by the stove while watching a movie. It's so cozy and nice."
Sha Zhu rubbed his hands together, looking at the deaf old woman and He Yushui with a smile. "Alright, you two wait for me, I'll go buy you some good food. We have to watch the movie, and we can't let our mouths be idle. Anyway, I have to take good care of you two today."
"Zhu Zi, that's enough. Stop wasting money. I still need to find a granddaughter-in-law for my grandson."
“Yeah, bro. I’m about to graduate, but you’re not getting any younger. Let’s save some money for our family.”
He Yushui was also speaking from the side.
Sha Zhu was displeased when he heard this: "You two don't need to worry about anything today, just eat, drink and watch the movie. How many times a year can a movie be shown? We don't need a few cents. Money should be spent when it's needed, that's how money has value."
“My silly brother, where did you learn to talk like that? You have such a sophisticated way of speaking.”
He Yushui looked at Sha Zhu with amusement.
Sha Zhu chuckled: "Hey Da Bao, didn't you say that Da Bao is highly educated, so what he says must make sense? If you don't spend and I don't spend, how will this money operate, right?"
He Yushui nodded thoughtfully: "That seems to make sense."
"Nonsense! That kid Wang Dabao is wicked. Zhu Zi, don't let him lead you astray." The deaf old woman rolled her eyes at Sha Zhu and said with a dark face.
"Alright, Grandma, don't worry. I get along well with Da Bao, he wouldn't do anything to harm me."
After saying that, Sha Zhu tucked his sleeves into his pocket and headed towards Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li's stall.
The movie is about to start, and apart from the empty space on the steps of Sha Zhu's house, the area below is almost full of people.
Sha Zhu darted around and finally made it to the roasted sweet potato stall.
"Hey, Tian Gao's here! Da Bao, you guys bought sweet potatoes? Have you paid yet? If not, it's on me."
As Sha Zhu spoke, he started taking out his money, and at the same time said to Yu Li, "Hurry up and give me three while they're still hot."
Wang Dabao smiled wryly: "No need for the pillar, I just finished eating, you can just buy your own."
"Silly Zhu, two cents each, three cents each, you can buy four." Yan Jiecheng chirped beside him.
"There are only three of us, so you can feed the last one!"
Sha Zhu didn't tolerate Yan Jiecheng at all and directly retorted with a joke, "Just three, anyway, Da Bao and the others aren't buying any, so it's exactly five cents."
Yan Jiecheng grabbed the 50 cents from Sha Zhu's hand, took the sweet potato from Yu Haitang, stuffed it into Sha Zhu's arms, and said, "With your mouth, you're just waiting to be a bachelor."
"Sigh, it's my choice, it's none of your business."
Sha Zhu was in a good mood that evening, and chuckled as he said, then looked at Yu Haitang, who was standing to the side of Qiao Sheng, "Hey Yu Li, is this your sister? I have to say, this girl is prettier than you."
Upon hearing this, Yu Li became furious and grabbed the gloves she used to roast sweet potatoes, ready to hit Sha Zhu.
Frankly speaking, what young woman likes to hear someone else is prettier than her, even if that person is her own sister?
"Silly Zhu, can't you speak properly? Uncle Da Bao just said we were twin sisters, but now you're saying my sister is prettier than me. If you can't speak properly, then don't speak."
"Alright, alright, I was wrong, okay? If I had Da Bao's mouth, I would have been an official long ago. Isn't that right, Da Bao?!"
Sha Zhu, holding a sweet potato, nudged Wang Dabao with his elbow.
Yu Haitang felt very pleased with herself for being praised, and she even secretly glanced at Wang Dabao.
Although Wang Dabao wasn't exactly dressed sloppily, his thick cotton-padded coat and trousers made him look rather unattractive; his only redeeming quality was his handsome face.
Yu Haitang really does like Wang Dabao's looks.
Which woman can resist Daniel Wu's good looks?
Of course, the people in the compound got used to it. At first, some people kept praising Wang Dabao for being handsome, but later it just became so-so. After seeing him so many times, they got tired of him.
Wang Dabao isn't a little girl, so it's not really true that she's always saying she's good-looking.
"Alright, Zhu Zi, then I'll take your good wishes. Maybe you'll become an official in a couple of days." Wang Dabao chuckled beside him. "If what you said really comes true, Zhu Zi, I'll definitely treat you to a drink."
A few days ago, Wang Dabao spread the word in the courtyard that he was going to work in the security department.
This was to give everyone in the hospital a heads-up.
The truth will eventually come out. You can hide your identity at the factory for a while, maybe a month, but you can't hide it forever, not even for a year.
What's more, there are quite a few people working at the steel rolling mill in this courtyard.
He swindled a lot of money from these companies recently. If his identity is exposed, they'll probably start fighting.
Therefore, through his gradual groundwork, he helped everyone accept that he had only recently joined the security department.
Upon hearing Wang Dabao's words, Yu Li's eyes immediately lit up: "Uncle Dabao, I heard my father-in-law say the other day that you're going to work in the factory's security department. You can't be a clerk there, can you?!"
Yan Jiecheng and Sha Zhu, standing to the side, were a little confused.
Shazhu had heard about it, but he didn't take it seriously.
Yan Jiecheng was dumbfounded. If he wasn't going to be a clerk, what was he going to be? Was he going to become a section chief right away? That was ridiculous!
Yu Haitang stared at Wang Dabao without blinking.
She thought to herself, "How can this man be so good-looking? Tall, with good character, good qualities, good looks, and good manners—he's practically my ideal type."
It was Sha Zhu who uttered what Yan Jiecheng was thinking.
"No way, Da Bao, you're really going to work in the security department? What are you going to do if you're not a clerk? You're not going to be the department head, are you?!"
Sha Zhu chuckled and nudged Wang Dabao's arm, "Don't be a section chief, just a staff member will do. If our institute could produce someone working in the security department, they'd be all set for themselves."
Wang Dabao put his arm around Sha Zhu's shoulder and patted him: "We don't know yet. We have to listen to the organization's arrangements. Our opinions don't count. I heard that the old head of the factory's security department is retiring, and they might arrange a deputy head first."
"But I'm thinking I could at least become a battalion commander or something."
"ah?"
Sha Zhu was so shocked he almost dropped the sweet potato. "No, Da Bao, you're really going to become an official?!"
Wang Tiangao, who was standing next to him, almost squatted down and laughed. Wasn't this just making fun of an idiot?
"Hold it carefully, don't drop it on the ground."
Wang Dabao helped Sha Zhu gather the sweet potatoes. "What's wrong? You're not happy about your brother becoming an official? Fine, I'll issue a notice tomorrow: take as much food as you want and eat it all. Nobody can take any home."
If someone else had said that, Sha Zhu would have definitely given him a piece of his mind.
But he couldn't get angry when Da Bao said that, especially since Da Bao had his arm around his shoulder. The two brothers were already on good terms, so it wouldn't be right to get angry and argue.
"Da Bao, please let me go, okay?"
