Siheyuan: Why does your brother beat you up every day, Shazhu?

If I forget, I will definitely get beaten again when I go home at night.

The two chatted casually and soon arrived at the entrance of the steel mill.

When they arrived at the factory gate, Sha Zhu got out of the car, and Zhou Zhenbang drove the car directly into the factory.

Because he is now the deputy minister of the armed forces, even the security department in the factory would not dare to stop him as long as he shows his ID.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you have an ID or not. This military jeep is the biggest pass.

When Sha Zhu got out of the car, he met an acquaintance.

Liu Lan looked at Sha Zhu, her eyes almost glued to the jeep, and came over, lowering her voice, her face full of gossip:

"Hey! Silly Zhu! You're so good! Which car did you take? Who was it? Why are you so arrogant?"

She poked Shazhu's arm:

"Tell me quickly! Which god did you climb up to? That car is not for ordinary people to ride!"

Sha Zhu felt so happy that his vanity was rising.

He cleared his throat in a reserved manner:

"Hey! What's the point of climbing up to him? That's my brother Zhou! My brother's old battalion commander, a hero who just came down from the Korean front!"

When Liu Lan heard this, her eyes widened:

"What? Silly Zhu, you have a brother? And he's a soldier?"

Sha Zhu puffed out his chest and raised his chin:

"Of course! My eldest brother! He's been in the army for ten years!"

"The Liberation War and the Korean War were fought with real swords and guns! They were amazing!"

Liu Lan was truly in awe this time. In this day and age, people generally had a high regard for soldiers.

"I never realized, Silly Zhu! You have such a heroic brother!"

"That is!"

Sha Zhu was so proud that he almost flew up in the air, forgetting the pain of being beaten yesterday, spitting everywhere:

"My eldest brother is not only good at fighting! Back in our Nanluoguxiang, he was also a well-known figure!"

"No matter which path you take, if you are a dragon you have to coil up, if you are a tiger you have to lie down!"

"When you see my elder brother, you must respectfully call him Brother Weiguo!"

Sha Zhu was talking excitedly, feeling very proud, as if his brother's status in the underworld was his, as if talking about his brother was the same as talking about himself. He felt so good.

Just when he was feeling so happy, Xu Damao's sarcastic voice pierced him like a needle:

"Hey there! Stupid Zhu! This is such a boast!"

"Who was it that your brother beat up last night, making him cry out for his parents and scream like crazy? I could hear it clearly even through the wall!"

Xu Damao sucked his teeth, looking disdainful:

You're already in your twenties, and you're still being beaten to a pulp by your own brother. Tsk tsk tsk... In our courtyard, you're the only one like a scorpion shitting!

Xu Damao's words immediately broke Sha Zhu's pride. He immediately became angry and pointed at Xu Damao:

"Sun thief! Are you looking for a fight?"

Xu Damao was not afraid of him, and squinted his eyes:

"What? Still want to start a fight in the factory? The Security Department is right in front!"

"Besides, what did I say wrong? Do you dare to say that you didn't get beaten yesterday?"

He deliberately looked Sha Zhu up and down, grinning evilly and said:

"Not convinced? If you have the guts, lift up your clothes and let everyone see! Are those bruises on your body your brother's belt marks?"

After hearing what Xu Damao said, Sha Zhu felt so embarrassed that his face turned red.

Mainly what Xu Damao said is true.

He is now in his 20s and was beaten by his elder brother. It is really embarrassing to talk about this kind of thing.

But there is nothing he can do. Others don’t know his elder brother, but he really knows his elder brother!

Not to mention he's in his 20s, he's probably in his s or s. If his elder brother said he wanted to beat him up, then he would still be beaten up.

There is really no way!

Finally, he glared at Xu Damao fiercely, and could only snort loudly through his nose. Like a defeated rooster, he walked towards the cafeteria in a dejected manner.

Seeing Sha Zhu looking so angry and frustrated, Liu Lan laughed out loud from behind.

You know what, Shazhu looks quite cute when he's angry today.

Liu Lan looked at Xu Damao and said:

"Xu Damao, you're such a mean person! Zhuzi finally got the chance to show off, and you had to expose him! What's the benefit of letting him vent his anger?"

Xu Damaoer rolled his eyes at Liu Lan and snorted:

"Tsk! He's always trying to sabotage me and ruin my plans behind my back? And I can't even give him a little trouble? This is called tit-for-tat!"

Liu Lan was already accustomed to the feud between the two, and was too lazy to argue about it. Instead, she asked curiously:

"Hey, Damao, is that what Shazhu said about his big brother... really that awesome? Is he really as awesome as he says he is?"

At this point, Xu Damao put away his playful smile and nodded seriously, which was rare for him:

"Usually, Shazhu likes to show off, but his elder brother He Weiguo..."

Xu Damao extended his thumb and shook it vigorously:

"He's definitely a tough nut! Sha Zhu isn't bragging about this!"

Chapter 26 Department Store

He Weiguo took He Yushui out and headed straight for the Wangfujing department store.

It was a long walk, so the brother and sister took a trolleybus.

It would take some time to reach the destination. He Weiguo suddenly remembered the instant kill system he had awakened. He was too busy yesterday and had no time to take a closer look.

Taking advantage of this free time, he opened the system interface in his mind.

The system interface is simple, showing two products to be sold out:

When he saw the product clearly, He Weiguo almost laughed out loud:

A bag of White Rabbit candy and a belt.

The flash sale price is only one cent.

"Haha, this system really understands me." He Weiguo muttered to himself.

What's a belt for? It's for beating idiots!

Toffees are naturally for the rain.

He was quite surprised by the thoughtfulness of this system.

Without hesitation, he chose to kill instantly.

The system prompt sounded immediately: [Second sale successful! The product has been saved to your personal space.]

He Weiguo explored with his mind and found that the two items were already lying in his space.

Since today's flash sale quota has been used up, He Weiguo no longer focuses on the system.

……

Not long after, the tram arrived at the station with a ding-dong sound, and the brother and sister walked into the magnificent department store.

The dazzling array of goods made Yu Shui’s eyes unable to see enough, and her little hands tightly grasped He Weiguo’s sleeves.

He Weiguo’s goal today was very clear, he headed straight for the clothing area despite the rain.

There was also a cloth shop nearby, and the price was cheaper, but none of the three He siblings knew how to make clothes, and he was even more reluctant to ask the aunties in the courtyard for help, as they had different ideas. Ready-made clothes were his only option.

As soon as you walk in, the unique atmosphere of this era hits you!

A striking red slogan "Save Cloth" was painted on the wall, and crisscrossing wires were overhead, with bills sliding towards the cash register - this was the characteristic of this era.

The sales clerks didn't have many smiles on their faces. Some were leaning against the counter eating sunflower seeds, while others were knitting sweaters.

Nowadays, if you don’t hit people, you’re considered polite when it comes to service.

He Weiguo walked straight up to a female salesperson in her thirties and said in a calm tone:

"Comrade, please, I'm here to help my sister pick out some clothes. Which direction is the women's clothing section?"

The salesperson didn't even raise his eyelids, but lazily raised his hand and pointed in a direction, muttering:

"Can't you read the sign yourself? The words are so big."

He Weiguo was not angry and said in a deep voice, "Thank you."

I walked over with the shivering rain.

What catches the eye are various Lenin suits, modified Zhongshan suits, student uniforms, and thick corduroy jackets.

He Weiguo pointed at the dazzling array of clothes and softened his voice:

"Yushui, pick one out. Which one do you like? I'll buy it for you."

Yu Shui looked at the brand new clothes, her eyes shining like stars. Her small hand carefully touched the corner of a navy blue student uniform, then quickly retracted it, and said timidly:

"Brother...are you really going to buy it? Or should we forget about it?"

"It's too expensive. My...my clothes can still be worn after patching them up!"

She lowered her head and grabbed her old cotton-padded jacket, which was washed white and patched up with patches, her little face flushed with embarrassment.

He Weiguo frowned: "Yushui! Didn't we agree on this at home yesterday?"

"What's become of yours? Will it keep you warm? Listen to me!"

Seeing that Yu Shui was still standing there motionless, he simply stopped waiting and started to pick it for the girl himself.
