Xu Damao's funny actions amused Yu Haitang, who was standing to the side.
"Hey, look, Haitang is smiling."
Xu Damao looked at Yu Haitang with a smile, "That's why I have so many tasks. Every commune in the countryside would be eager to have me. It's all because I'm such a good interpreter."
"Xu Damao, that's enough. Your gestures are blocking my way from selling sweet potatoes."
Yan Jiecheng was a little disgusted. It was just showing a movie, why did they have to come and show it off in front of his stall?
"Hey, Jie Cheng, that's not a nice thing to say. If it weren't for me showing movies, would you even have this sweet potato stall? And now you're complaining that I'm blocking your stall?"
Xu Damao raised his hand and said, "Alright, get me a high score first. In the countryside, you'd eat and drink your fill before watching a movie. But in our compound, we have to buy our own food on an empty stomach."
After complaining, Xu Damao took out two cents and handed it over.
Yu Li laughed and took it: "Come on, don't you know who you are now? He's the third uncle in the compound. Maybe in a few years, you'll be the one in charge of this compound. And you're still being picky."
"Hey, Jiecheng, you should learn from your wife. Look at what Yu Li said, it's so pleasing to the ear."
Xu Damao took the sweet potato and started eating it. "Didn't I hear Da Bao say this morning that he didn't have time to date and had to focus on work? I just heard you guys chatting excitedly, saying that Da Bao is going to be transferred to the security department?!"
Xu Damao wanted to sound out Yu Li and her husband whether they still intended to introduce Yu Haitang to Wang Dabao.
"Of course, Uncle Da Bao said that once you get to the security department, you'll start as a team leader at the very least."
Yu Li chuckled, "But while work keeps me busy, I also need to find a boyfriend. I don't think Uncle Da Bao is as tight-lipped as he was this morning."
"Oh, I see. Da Bao knows someone in the security department, so it's not surprising that he works there." Xu Damao took a couple more bites of sweet potato. "Okay, you guys go ahead with your work, I'll go back and check the equipment."
"By the way, there might be another screening before the New Year. Haitang, come and watch the movie when you have time."
Before leaving, Xu Damao didn't forget to call out to Yu Haitang.
After Xu Damao left, Yu Haitang smiled and said, "That Xu Damao is quite amusing."
"What are you kidding me for? You're just trying to be a jerk, trying to compete with Uncle Da Bao in front of us. I think that's the real joke." Yan Jiecheng poked at the stove and snorted.
As a result, Yu Li kicked him: "He's the third uncle, you don't need to be so quick with your words."
"Fine, I won't say anything more."
......
At Sha Zhu's house, Yi Zhonghai and his wife also arrived.
After all, there's a stove here, which is better than everyone crowding together.
"Zhonghai, when you have time, ask Wang Dabao if he has a girlfriend yet?" The deaf old woman took a sip of hot tea and patted Yi Zhonghai on the shoulder.
These words left Yi Zhonghai speechless.
"What's wrong, old lady? Didn't you and Da Bao not get along? Now you're going to introduce him to someone?!" Yi Zhonghai and his wife exchanged a glance and then laughed.
"Oh my, Grandma, are you really going to do this?!"
Sha Zhu almost spat out his tea. "Let me tell you this: I just saw that Da Bao has absolutely no feelings for Yu Haitang. In fact, Da Bao said this morning that he wants to focus on his work and put dating on hold."
Yi Zhonghai and his wife didn't quite understand.
"Pillar, wait a minute, who is this Yu Haitang?"
"Oh, that's Yan Jiecheng's sister-in-law from the front yard. Isn't she selling sweet potatoes at the sweet potato stall now?"
Following what Sha Zhu said, Yi Zhonghai and his wife looked towards the sweet potato stall. There was indeed a girl there, but she was too far away to see clearly what she looked like.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai turn his head away, Sha Zhu continued, "At first, Yu Li and her husband wanted to introduce their younger sister to Da Bao, but Da Bao refused. Then Xu Damao approached them, and Yu Li and her husband changed their minds and decided to introduce her to Xu Damao."
"You tell me, they're just messing around. How can Xu Damao compare to Da Bao?"
Sha Zhu clapped his hands, "I don't know how Yu Li and her husband were fooled by Xu Damao, they almost agreed. I just happened to be there, so I thought I'd do something nice and get involved."
The deaf old woman stomped her cane hard: "Alright, what you're saying has nothing to do with what I wanted to say?!"
Sha Zhu blinked: "So what are you trying to say?"
"this!"
The deaf old woman pointed with her cane at He Yushui, who was holding a teacup to warm her hands.
He Yushui was lost in thought when the conversation suddenly turned to her.
"Wait a minute, Grandma, you don't mean you want to introduce rainwater to Da Bao, do you?" Yi Zhonghai asked tentatively.
The deaf old woman sighed and nodded.
“But Yu Shui hasn’t graduated yet, and besides, there’s quite a bit of an age difference between them,” Yi Zhonghai’s wife asked, puzzled.
The deaf old woman grunted twice: "But that can't stop the rain from liking it."
He Yushui's face immediately turned red after the deaf old woman said that: "Grandma, what are you saying?"
Then he stepped into the house.
The deaf old woman chuckled, feeling confident that she had the situation under control. "See? I told you so."
Yi Zhonghai scratched his head. "Grandma, even if Yushui likes it, we still have to consider Dabao's feelings."
The deaf old woman rolled her eyes at him. "That's why I asked you to go and inquire. Although Wang Dabao isn't a very good person, following him shouldn't mean you'll have a hard life."
Yi Zhonghai smiled wryly, "Good heavens, you've really thought ahead."
Sha Zhu shook his head. "If you ask me, this is a difficult matter. Da Bao is currently in the prime of his career, and he's focused on working hard and climbing the ranks. Besides, he doesn't even like Yu Haitang, so why would he like our Yu Shui?!"
The deaf old woman picked up her cane, ready to strike.
"To be honest, to be honest," Sha Zhu quickly waved his hands and begged for mercy, "When it comes to dressing up, our Yu Shui is indeed not as good-looking as Yu Haitang."
The deaf old woman glared at Sha Zhu, then looked at Yi Zhonghai again: "No matter what, Zhonghai, if you have time, go and find out. It won't take much trouble."
"Okay, I'll go ask about it in the next couple of days."
Yi Zhonghai nodded and pondered.
Soon, the second movie began to play.
Xu Damao's explanation this time was even more enthusiastic, and everyone quickly became immersed in the story.
You can't afford not to put in the effort. Besides Yu Haitang, there are also young female teachers on site. Even if you can't reach this side, you can still catch up with the other side.
