As the days went by and the weather gradually warmed up, everyone began to take off their cotton-padded coats and put on lighter clothes.
Originally, after Wang Dabao found a girlfriend, Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng thought of introducing Yu Haitang to Xu Damao.
As for Sha Zhu and the others, they hadn't even considered it. In their eyes, a projectionist was still of higher status than a cook.
If we're talking about looks, even among the shortest of the short, Xu Damao is still better than Sha Zhu.
But who would have thought that Qin Huairu would introduce a potential partner to Sha Zhu and end up with Xu Damao!
Moreover, their affair has become the talk of the town, and the two are now inseparable.
It is said that Xu Damao went to the woman's house to propose marriage, but whether the two lived together or not is unknown.
Anyway, on the surface, Qin Jingru was staying at her cousin Qin Huairu's house, but who knows if it was just a cover and she went to Xu Damao's place in the middle of the night.
Wang Dabao's marriage to Xiao Su has also been put on the agenda. Last month, Section Chief Hu and Xiao Zhenguo discussed the date together, and then asked Wang Dabao and Xiao Su for their opinions.
At the beginning of the month, Section Chief Hu and his wife went to the Xiao family with Wang Dabao to propose marriage, and the marriage was settled.
Ever since their marriage was arranged, Xiao Su has been visiting the courtyard house more frequently.
He even stayed overnight for two nights. Wang Dabao's life has been getting more and more comfortable lately.
"Da Bao, Da Bao, this is incredible! Have you heard? Xu Damao is getting married to Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu's cousin. It seems to be next week. They say they're going to have a few tables set up in the courtyard."
That day, Wang Dabao was stopped by Yan Bugui as soon as he entered the hospital.
"Wow, they're progressing so fast." Wang Dabao stopped his bicycle and handed Lao Yan a cigarette, glancing at the flowers on Yan Bugui's windowsill.
Yan Bugui shuddered at the sight. Last time, he had been so rude that Wang Dabao had taken a basin of food from him. It would be a lie to say he wasn't heartbroken, but the more he tried to put on a brave face, the more uncomfortable he felt lying in bed that night.
"Hey, Da Bao, how's it going on your end? When are you planning to get married? Looks like there's a lot of good news in our neighborhood this year."
Yan Bugui took a nice puff of his cigarette. "When it comes to getting things done for you, I, Old Yan, will definitely be generous this time. Just you wait and see!"
Wang Dabao laughed when he heard this: "Alright, it's good that you said so, Lao Yan. If all else fails, you can bring me two pots of flowers."
Upon hearing that it was two pots of flowers, Yan Bugui's smile almost froze on his face. Two pots of flowers cost more than ten yuan, and he would never be willing to spend that much.
Just then, Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong returned together, and Yan Bugui's savior arrived.
"Look, speak of the devil and he appears! What are Da Mao and your uncle talking about? I heard he's going to be a groom?"
"Not just the groom, I'm about to become a father, Second Uncle, do you think it's okay not to get married soon!" Xu Damao said boastfully, as if becoming a father was something unique to him.
Yan Bugui perked up immediately: "Hey, that's great, Damao. You're one of the first young people in our institute to have a child. That's impressive."
"Da Mao, I'm not trying to be mean, but once you're married, you have to take responsibility. Stop thinking about all sorts of nonsense. Look at you, greeting so many young female employees on your way back. What's that all about?"
After greeting Wang Dabao and Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong began to berate Xu Damao.
Wang Dabao was a little stunned when he heard that Qin Jingru was pregnant. He didn't know if she was really pregnant or if Qin Huairu was just giving her a suggestion to trap Xu Damao.
If it's a false pregnancy, the couple will probably have a lot of trouble after marriage.
The courtyard was really lively today, with four people chatting together, and Yi Zhonghai joined in as well.
After a period of stealthy development, Yi Zhonghai's reputation in the factory recovered considerably, and he became the arrogant Master Yi again. However, back in the yard, he still had to keep a low profile and bow to everyone he saw.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a few people chatting there, so he quickly took out a cigarette and came over.
Wang Dabao didn't take it; he was so addicted to the cigarette he had just smoked that he took a second one.
Yan Bugui, on the other hand, accepted all comers without hesitation, seemingly unconcerned about getting himself drunk. Judging from his appearance, it was as if he hadn't smoked for half a month.
Yi Zhonghai smiled and congratulated Xu Damao on the surface, but in his heart he wished Xu Damao would fall off his bicycle and die.
When Yi Zhonghai heard that Xu Damao was getting married and becoming a father, he felt worse than if he had eaten eight lifetimes of excrement.
He endured it again and again until he didn't show it on his face, but he did curse God to his heart's content.
How can a scumbag like Xu Damao get married and have children? Yi Zhonghai, who has been righteous and moral all his life, has never been pitied by God and given a child. How can this world be so unfair?
Ultimately, Yi Zhonghai came to the conclusion that being a good person does not lead to a good outcome.
Among the people in front of him, Liu Haizhong's third son, Yan Bugui's third son and a daughter, Xu Damao will soon have a child, Wang Dabao's wedding is approaching, and Yi Zhonghai, after so many years of marriage, is still just the old couple living together, and they haven't even been able to have a daughter.
He appeared cheerful on the surface, but his heart was full of bitterness.
How could it not be bitter? Last time in the vegetable cellar, it was so close, but that bastard Xu Damao ruined it.
If it weren't for Xu Damao, Qin Huairu might already be pregnant with his child. In that case, she would not only have a child, but she could also regain her youth.
Recently, with Yi Zhonghai's reputation restored in the factory, he has been feeling restless again. Once a thought is planted, it is hard to remove. Before, he had no such thoughts about Qin Huairu.
Ever since that last time, whenever he sees Qin Huairu in the yard, he starts thinking about that kind of thing. He's become obsessed, and he's no longer focused on his original intention of "farming".
