"I have a bottle of good wine at home. How about you go buy two pounds of meat and ask your third aunt to cook a few dishes for us to have a good meal in the evening?"
Without even turning around, Cao Shuang could guess the identity of the person speaking just by listening to the voice - the Iron Abacus of Siheyuan, Yan Bugui!
"Uncle San is really good at joking. Everyone in the compound knows that other people's stuff is called wine, but your stuff is called 'wine and water'?"
After finishing his words, Cao Shuang turned around and left:
"I still have to pack up and report to the factory, so I won't chat with you, Uncle."
Old Yan was as stingy as Grandet in the Siheyuan Courtyard. Cao Shuang was not so pessimistic as to bring two kilograms of meat to drink with Yan Bugui's "fine wine" which had been diluted with water countless times.
However, compared to the other people in the courtyard, Cao Shuang did not have much ill will towards this third uncle:
After all, although he is stingy, he adheres to the principle of "exchange" most of the time. He is not like a certain old man who touches his lower lip with his upper front teeth and relies on the word "moral kidnapping" to do whatever he wants.
"Hey~"
"This kid..."
Yan Bugui's mouth twitched slightly at Cao Shuang's words, but he was not angry about it. After all, he was the one who wanted to take advantage of him just now.
After returning to the room, Cao Shuang put the thirty yuan he had just earned into the system, and his personal assets indeed reached 38.23 yuan.
After buying the three items from the store and tidying up his appearance, Cao Shuang pushed the door open and walked out again:
He is already an adult, so if he goes to the factory earlier to inherit the job left by his parents, he can also start earning money and receiving a salary earlier.
"Xiao Shuang, are you going out?"
As soon as he walked into the front yard, Cao Shuang received a big smile from Qin Huairu who was washing clothes.
While speaking, Qin Huairu did not forget to smooth the long hair that fell to her ears with her wet hands. When she bent over while sitting on a small stool, most of the milky white grapefruit was exposed from the open collar. I can only say... my sister-in-law is really good at it!
"Ah."
Cao Shuang is not He Yuzhu. Although Qin Huairu is very tempting, it is not enough to make him lose his mind.
"Xiao Shuang, I'm really sorry about what happened today."
Qin Huairu seemed not to notice Cao Shuang's coldness.
She pinched her hands together, and the opening of her collar widened a little more. Qin Huairu then continued:
"Bang Geng is just a child. I have already taught him a lesson for entering your room. As for Sha Zhu...he has never known how to control his severity."
Hearing Qin Huairu's words, Cao Shuang almost laughed out loud:
As expected of Qin Bailian, with just one sentence, she not only changed the joke of 'stealing things' into casually breaking into someone else's room, but also put the blame on He Yuzhu.
"I still have to go to the factory to start work. Let's talk about anything another day."
Without giving Qin Huairu a chance to speak again, Cao Shuang coughed lightly and walked out of the compound:
The collar of this woman was almost open in just a few words. If she continued talking, he was afraid that she would be exposed.
"Qin Huairu, get in here!"
As soon as Cao Shuang left, a loud roar came from the room behind Qin Huairu.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing her mother-in-law's shout, Qin Huairu slightly tightened her collar and then walked into the room.
"What were you doing flirting with that little bastard just now?"
Her gaze fell on Qin Huairu, and Jia Zhang's eyes were filled with gloom:
It is no exaggeration to say that in a short period of time, Cao Shuang was definitely the most hated person by the Jia Zhang family in the entire compound.
A little beast who has no parents and feeds his entire family actually dares to hit her lovely grandson. It is simply unjust.
Bang Geng is such a well-behaved boy, he just went into the room to get something, what's wrong?
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
Seeing that Jia Zhang's eyes were becoming more and more ferocious, Qin Huairu could only explain:
"Don't forget, Cao Shuang has thirty yuan on him. If we can borrow it from him..."
It has to be said that Qin Huairu had a relatively good understanding of Jia Zhang's character.
As Qin Huairu spoke, Jia Zhang's eyes quickly lit up:
"Do you have any idea?"
"maybe."
Shaking his head, Qin Huairu continued:
"Cao Shuang is just a kid after all. He has been stained with blood. He is kind-hearted and thin-skinned. If we get in touch with him a few more times, the chances are great."
'snort! ’
Hearing Qin Huairu's words, Jia Zhang couldn't help but snorted coldly:
He slapped his own grandson so hard that half of his face was swollen, and he even wanted him to pay for it. Can that little beast be considered kind?
However, Jia Zhangshi did not say this in the end. If Qin Huairu could really borrow money from Cao Shuang, it would be a good thing for her.
As she was thinking, Jia Zhang looked back at Qin Huairu:
"I don't care what you want to do, but remember this: although Dongxu is dead, you are still a member of my Jia family. If you dare to do anything to let Dongxu down... hehe~"
Jia Zhang didn't say the rest of the words, but she believed that Qin Huairu could understand what she meant.
"Mom, don't worry."
Of course, Cao Shuang had no idea about the conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family. At this time, he had successfully arrived at the gate of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.
Rubbing his sore legs, Cao Shuang couldn't help but sigh:
"It seems I should buy a bicycle as soon as possible."
"Hey, what do you do?"
Cao Shuang was still sighing when a somewhat dissatisfied voice sounded:
"No one is allowed in here, leave quickly!"
As the words came to an end, a dark-skinned old man wearing a worn-out military coat and with a centipede spot on his face walked up to Cao Shuang:
"Go, go, this is not..."
"You are Uncle Baoguo, right?"
Looking at the old man in front of him, Cao Shuang smiled:
"I am Cao Shuang, the son of Cao Jianjun and Li Xiuqin."
As he spoke, Cao Shuang took out his ID and handed a cigarette to the old man in front of him.
"Cao Shuang?"
Chapter 4: The Great Widow
Wang Baoguo was stunned for a moment by Cao Shuang's "sensible" behavior and the reputation of his original parents, but then he quickly reacted:
"Are you the boy from Jianjun's family? I can't believe you've grown up so big!"
Reaching out and patting Cao Shuang on the shoulder, Wang Baoguo continued:
"You are here to complete the employment formalities today, come on, I will take you in."
Wang Baoguo had previously helped deal with the funeral affairs of the original body's parents, which was why Cao Shuang was able to recognize him at a glance.
Because of their previous relationship and the "sensibleness" he had just shown, Wang Baoguo's favorability towards Cao Shuang increased rapidly.
Before Cao Shuang could even refuse, he turned around and shouted to the side:
"Xiao Wu, you can take your nephew to work and familiarize him with the environment. Please help me stay here for a while."
"Captain, don't worry."
Wang Baoguo obviously had a certain status in the security department. Upon hearing his words, the young man who came running over was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he smiled broadly at Cao Shuang.
After briefly explaining a few things to Xiao Wu, Wang Baoguo looked at Cao Shuang again:
"I'll take you to see the factory manager first, and then take you around the factory."
"Uncle Wang, I am really sorry to trouble you."
"We are all family, why bother talking to each other?"
Staring at Cao Shuang, Wang Baoguo fully expressed his dissatisfaction:
"If you continue to be so polite, don't blame me for being angry."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything."
When he first arrived at the steel rolling mill, Cao Shuang was of course extremely willing to have an old man like Wang Baoguo to support him.
That is why, after hearing the other party's words, Cao Shuang unceremoniously chose to go down the hill:
"Uncle Wang, when I'm done with today's work, I'll definitely treat you to a good meal."
"We can talk about eating later. You haven't even received your first salary yet, so you should save some money."
Although he rejected Cao Shuang's proposal, Wang Baoguo's smile became even more intense:
There are many young people in the factory, but it is rare to find someone as polite as Cao Shuang.
Just like He Yuzhu, Xu Damao and others, every time they saw him, they would call him "Old Wang". This comparison made Wang Baoguo sigh:
They are all young people who grew up in the same compound, so why is there such a big gap between them?
With the foundation laid by his parents, Cao Shuang's employment was smooth sailing.
After listening to a few simple words of encouragement from the factory director, Cao Shuang became a level 15 chef in the steel rolling mill, earning yuan a month.
It doesn't sound great, but as soon as he left the factory director's office, Wang Baoguo couldn't help but sigh:
"You are lucky, you must work hard in the future!"
You know, cooks are one of the "eight most envied positions" these days. If you don't have some connections or family skills, it's not easy to be a cook in a big place like a steel rolling mill.
