A few days before Xu Damao's wedding, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong approached Wang Dabao to discuss the matter of giving money as a wedding gift.
Wang Dabao didn't care about this at all. No matter how much he gave, Xu Damao would definitely give him back when he got married later. It could only be more, not less.
Wang Dabao trusted Xu Damao to handle things.
In the end, they didn't care how much others gave them; the three brothers only had one yuan each.
Yan Bugui has two unmarried sons and a daughter, while Liu Haizhong's three sons are all unmarried. They have a chance to come back.
When Wang Dabao saw this, he exclaimed, "Wow, the three of us are all giving a one-yuan gift. Old Liu's side is giving four people, and Old Yan's side is giving seven people. Yan Jiecheng hasn't separated his family yet, so he's not giving a gift himself."
So he's charging one yuan per person here?
No, that won't do. He has to compete and bring his wife, Susu, along.
Tomorrow's the weekend, time to relax, have a few drinks, go home and cuddle with Da Su Su until we fall asleep. I'm going on a business trip soon, and I don't even know when I'll have another day off.
Wang Dabao nodded with a smile: "Old Yan is right, we definitely have to have a few drinks. We brothers are happy for Da Mao's wedding."
"That's right, but I don't know how the chef is. Xu Damao didn't call him Sha Zhu." Yan Bugui curled his lip. He knew Sha Zhu's skills were absolutely top-notch, but he couldn't be sure about others.
"Oh? Da Mao didn't inform Zhu Zi?"
Yan Bugui's words surprised Wang Dabao. They lived in the same courtyard and weren't mortal enemies, so why wouldn't he inform her of his marriage?
Yan Bugui took off his glasses and wiped them: "I heard it from my wife. Old Xu's family wanted to let them know, but Xu Damao stopped them, saying that seeing Sha Zhu would annoy them."
Wang Dabao nodded, it didn't matter whether he was notified or not, it had nothing to do with him.
Since he had nothing else to do and the weather wasn't so cold anymore, Wang Dabao simply parked his bicycle at the entrance of Yan Bugui's house. "Old Yan, bring out a stool and let the three of us sit down and chat for a while."
"Okay."
Yan Bugui chuckled as he entered the house, and when he came out, he had a small stool in each hand, with a small plate of melon seeds on one of the stools.
He put the small plate on the ground, handed it to Wang Dabao, and sat down on the stool.
"Hey, Uncle, that's not right. We were just arguing for a bit at the door, why won't you even give me a stool to sit on?" Liu Guangtian got anxious when he saw that no stool was provided for him, so he grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and started cracking them open.
Yan Bugui glared at him: "Grab less, that's all. If you eat it all, what will Da Bao and I eat? If you want a stool, go upstairs and get it yourself. I only have two hands, where am I going to get a stool for you?"
Liu Guangtian chuckled and went inside to get a stool.
Yan Jiecheng returned shortly afterward. He hadn't had much work lately, and it was hard to find odd jobs.
The four chatted casually.
As time went on, more and more people gathered here, including Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai.
Recently, Yi Zhonghai has been actively showing up in the hospital. Regardless of whether others like him or not, he always has that smiling face. No matter what happens to anyone, he will be the first to help or offer advice.
His actions made everyone feel embarrassed.
A couple of days ago, Grandpa Sun's cart in the front yard broke down. Yi Zhonghai took a part directly from the factory and spent half a day fixing it after get off work.
When Grandpa Sun got home, Yi Zhonghai was wiping his sweat next to the cart.
What else can you say? They're paying for your car repairs with spare parts, and you're not even going to give them a friendly welcome?!
Unable to do that, Old Sun could only awkwardly offer him a cigarette.
The day before yesterday, Old Zhou's stove was backfiring. There was a young grandson at home, and he couldn't afford to get cold. The whole family was very worried. It was Yi Zhonghai who went over, cleaned out the stove, disassembled the entire chimney, found the problem, and fixed it.
This whole mess is ridiculous. A couple of years ago, when Yi Zhonghai was still a big shot, he even helped the deaf old lady extort money from their family. Now he's doing this again. The Zhou couple doesn't know what to say.
Yi Zhonghai didn't mind at all. He went home without even washing his hands and face after fixing the stove, which made Old Zhou and his wife feel quite embarrassed.
Yi Zhonghai has done several such things, and he continues to do so with great enthusiasm.
"Old Yi, stop wandering around all the time, it's annoying everyone."
Liu Haizhong seized the opportunity to strike at Yi Zhonghai. He had to teach Yi Zhonghai a lesson, as Yi Zhonghai's popularity in the hospital was showing signs of improvement, something Liu Haizhong absolutely did not want to see.
Yan Bugui sighed and chimed in, "Yeah, Lao Yi, let's not talk about anything else, just look at the Zhao family in the Central Court. That couple is fighting behind closed doors, why did you go and join in the fun?"
When this matter was mentioned, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but blush.
"Sigh, I meant well, but they didn't appreciate it and even scolded me."
"Just tell me whether you deserve to be scolded or not. That's their family matter. Why are you meddling in it?" Liu Haizhong said, his eyelids drooping, clearly looking down on Yi Zhonghai's attitude.
Yi Zhonghai was indeed a little embarrassed. "I'll be more careful next time."
"Don't do it again, what if you get beaten up?"
Liu Haizhong grumbled and mumbled.
Just then, Sha Zhu returned.
Wang Dabao quickly waved his hand and beckoned, "Zhuzi, come on, sit here and chat for a while."
Sha Zhu strolled over with his hands in his pockets, found two bricks, stacked them up, and plopped down on them.
As a result, Yan Bugui objected, saying, "Hey Shazhu, when you leave, put the bricks back where you got them from. I still have them to line my flowerpots."
Sha Zhu clicked his tongue and said, "It's just two bricks, why are you making such a fuss? Fine, I'll put them back for you, okay?"
"Why don't you just put it back now? Judging from what you're saying, it's going to be a disaster. You'll just pack up and leave, and I'll have to worry about you all the time." Yan Bugui rolled his small eyes.
