On the night he delivered the mixed noodles, Yi Zhonghai suffered from insomnia.
His mind was filled with Qin Huairu's image, and he fantasized about the day his plan would succeed.
The result was that the next morning, Yi Zhonghai was horrified to discover that he had urinated.
When Aunt Yi woke up in the morning, she noticed something strange about Yi Zhonghai in bed. When she lifted the covers, her face immediately turned red.
The couple is not very old, but they haven't had marital relations for several years.
To put it simply, it's only happened two or three times in the last decade.
No wonder Aunt Yi blushed.
"Old Yi, if you're feeling restless, I'll cook dinner early tonight so we can go to bed early." Although she was a little embarrassed to say it aloud, they were husband and wife after all, and seeing that Yi Zhonghai had needs, Aunt Yi was happy to oblige.
Yi Zhonghai quickly waved his hand: "No, no, don't misunderstand. I don't know what happened either. The factory has been too busy chasing progress lately. Let's talk about this later when we have time."
A deep disappointment flashed in Aunt Yi's eyes, but she didn't say anything more. After nodding, she started preparing breakfast.
The next day, Qin Huairu decided to talk to Sha Zhu.
Finding Sha Zhu in the kitchen, Qin Huairu went up to him and said, "Zhu Zi, you didn't move out to avoid Sister Qin, did you?"
"Oh, Sister Qin, you're mistaken. How could I possibly want to avoid you?"
Sha Zhu's hand trembled as he tossed the food in the wok, almost spilling the food. "Sister Qin, you know my room has wooden planks on the floor. It's so cold, I can't stand it, especially since the sun hasn't come out yet. I wake up freezing in the middle of the night every night."
"That's why I asked someone to find this spot in the yard next door. There's a big kang (heated brick bed) there, wow, it's so warm. I'm going to build a kang this spring."
Sha Zhu's words were true. After moving to Master Cai's house and sleeping on the heated kang bed, he truly experienced the joy that warmth brings.
Having lived this long, I haven't slept like this since I was a child. It's been so many years since I've experienced this feeling. It was so comfortable!
Sometimes he would get so hot on the kang (heated brick bed) that he looked like a pancake, but he still enjoyed it.
Many times, Sha Zhu secretly sighed in his heart that Wang Dabao was really smart. Even though the house was newly built, he decisively built a heated kang and a heated wall when winter came, enjoying the benefit of a 20-degree temperature difference between the inside and outside.
This prompted Sha Zhu to make up his mind that he would borrow money to build a heated kang bed to live in when spring came.
If Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui asked him to move back at this point, Sha Zhu would just say, "Dream on!"
He really didn't want to move back until the weather got warmer.
I can roll around on the kang (heated brick bed) all by myself, it's warm and cozy everywhere, and I feel so much more energetic these past two days after getting a good night's sleep.
Her complexion became rosy, as if she had taken a rejuvenation pill.
Qin Huairu deliberately gave a disappointed "Oh," and seeing that Sha Zhu didn't respond, she asked again, "So, Zhu Zi, when are you planning to move back in?"
"Take it back!"
Sha Zhu started adding seasonings to the dish with a large ladle, saying, "I guess we'll have to wait until the weather gets warmer."
Qin Huairu sighed, "Alright, Zhuzi, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go clean up the vegetable leaves now."
She didn't dare linger, fearing that Liu Lan would find out she was slacking off and give her more work, so she left in a hurry.
After Qin Huairu left, Sha Zhu sighed, and after a while, he felt a little secretly pleased.
It seems Qin Huairu still cares about him. He's only been gone a few days, and she's already come looking for him.
In fact, Qin Huairu was thinking that if Sha Zhu were in the yard, perhaps Yi Zhonghai wouldn't be able to act so recklessly.
In the afternoon, Xu Damao knocked on the door of Wang Dabao's rest room. After hearing "Come in," he smiled and pushed the door open and went in.
This is the third time Xu Damao has come here since he found out about Wang Dabao's rest room.
The second time, Xu Damao came up and knocked on the door. Wang Dabao deliberately didn't answer from inside. After knocking a few more times, Xu Damao left.
"Section Chief Wang."
Xu Damao wouldn't call him "Brother Dabao" in the factory; he was very sensible.
Sometimes Wang Dabao even felt that if this guy were put in the workshop, he could probably be promoted to the level of foreman.
"Da Mao is here! Come and sit down, let me pour you some tea."
"I'll do it, I'll do it. I can handle this little thing myself."
Xu Damao quickly strode over and picked up the teapot before Wang Dabao could. "Section Chief Wang, I've come here today because I have something to discuss. I'd like to invite you and a few team leaders who are free to dinner tonight."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dabao exclaimed, "Wow, there are several team leaders?"
"This isn't right, Da Mao. You're trying to corrupt the cadres!" Wang Dabao clicked his tongue.
Xu Damao quickly put down the teapot: "No, no, it's just a friendly chat. I really don't mean anything by it, and I'm not asking anyone for favors. I can guarantee that."
Wang Dabao smiled and picked up his teacup: "You told them?"
"No, how could I dare to say it if you don't agree?"
Xu Damao adopted a subservient attitude towards Wang Dabao, saying, "I need to confirm that you're available and that you agree before I can invite them."
Wang Dabao nodded thoughtfully: "Call Feng Biao and Zheng Jun. Forget about the others; they have other tasks to complete."
"Alright, I'll go get ready now?"
Upon receiving confirmation, Xu Damao immediately perked up.
After seeing Wang Dabao nod, Xu Damao left happily.
Xu Damao's job doesn't require him to be on time for get off work, so he's probably off to a restaurant arranged by the factory.
Wang Dabao was not worried that his subordinates would give Xu Damao preferential treatment.
He had previously extorted several hundred yuan from a few people in the compound. Since then, these team leaders have known Xu Damao. Whenever Xu Damao needed their help, they would always report the news to Wang Dabao first.
