Chapter 35 Teasing Yan Bugui!
Chapter 35 Teasing Yan Bugui!
At around five in the evening, Jia Dongming rode his bicycle back to the courtyard and saw Yan Bugui standing in the front yard watering the flowers. He greeted Yan Bugui politely, "Uncle! You are watering the flowers! Look at these pots of flowers. You have taken good care of them."
When Yan Bugui saw Jia Dongming pushing a bicycle into the compound, his eyes were immediately fixed on the cloth bag on the back seat of the bicycle.
Yan Bugui came to his senses when he saw Jia Dongming took the initiative to greet him. He quickly responded with a smile: "Chief Jia! Are you off work? I have some free time too, so I plant some flowers to cultivate my sentiments."
When Jia Dongming heard Yan Bugui's words and saw the smug look on Yan Bugui's face, he suddenly felt like teasing Yan Bugui.
With this thought in mind, Jia Dongming showed a regretful expression on his face. He looked at the flowers and plants in front of him, shook his head, and said to himself: "What a pity! What a pity."
Seeing Jia Dongming looking at the flowers he planted and shaking his head and saying it was a pity, Yan Bugui's face suddenly showed a look of astonishment. He asked Jia Dongming in confusion: "Chief Jia! What's a pity? Did I plant these flowers wrong?"
Jia Dongming knew that Yan Bugui was a calculating person. Once Yan Bugui knew what he meant by "a pity", Jia Dongming estimated that Yan Bugui would regret it so much that he would not be able to sleep tonight.
Facing Yan Bugui's question and seeing Yan Bugui's surprised expression, Jia Dongming said to him mysteriously, "Uncle! These flowers and plants have no other use except for viewing. If you had not chosen to grow flowers but some vegetables instead, wouldn't your family be able to save money on buying vegetables every year?"
Yan Bugui was visibly stunned when he heard Jia Dongming's words. Then he showed a look of regret on his face. He patted his thigh and said, "Why didn't I think of growing vegetables? This way, our family can save at least ten yuan a year. Wouldn't that be a hundred yuan in ten years?"
Seeing Yan Bugui slapping his thigh with a look of regret, Jia Dongming raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said to Yan Bugui with a smile: "Uncle! You are busy, I will go back first."
When Yan Bugui saw Jia Dongming pushing his bicycle and disappearing behind the Moon Gate, he murmured to himself with regret, "What a loss! What a loss! It's really a huge loss!"
The third aunt, who was preparing dinner in the house, heard Yan Bugui's voice coming from outside the house. She ran to the door with a spatula in her hand. Seeing Yan Bugui shouting with regret on his face, she asked Yan Bugui in confusion, "Boss! What's wrong with you? What did you lose?"
When Yan Bugui heard what the third aunt said, he thought of what Jia Dongming had just said, and said to the third aunt with a look of regret: "Wife! Why did I only think about growing flowers and not using these flower pots to grow vegetables? If we use flower pots to grow vegetables, wouldn't we only have money left for buying vegetables after a year? Tell me, are we losing money?"
It is said that those who keep company with the good will be red, and those who keep company with the bad will be black! When Auntie Yang Ruihua heard what Yan Bugui said, she felt that what Yan Bugui said made a lot of sense, and she quickly agreed and said, "Boss! Why didn't you think about this at the beginning? If you had thought about this earlier, our family could have saved at least more than a hundred yuan."
When Yan Bugui heard the third aunt mention more than 100 yuan, he felt a sudden pain in his chest, and he instinctively covered his chest and muttered to himself with regret: "My money, my more than 100 yuan, how long will it take to save this more than 100 yuan?"
Jia Dongming pushed his bicycle back to the middle courtyard. Xiaodang, who was playing there, saw Jia Dongming coming back from get off work. He immediately ran to Jia Dongming with his short legs and asked him in a baby voice: "Uncle! Uncle! Xiaodang wants to ride in the car!" "Xiaodang! Run slowly, don't fall!" Jia Dongming saw Xiaodang running towards him and instructed Xiaodang in a friendly manner. After Xiaodang ran to him, Jia Dongming picked Xiaodang up and put him on the horizontal bar he wrote. As he walked, he said to Xiaodang: "Let's take the car!"
Bang Geng, who was doing his homework in the house, heard Jia Dongming's voice outside the house, and immediately ran out of the house and shouted to Jia Dongming happily: "Uncle! Are you back from get off work?"
When Jia Dongming heard Banggeng's shout, he suddenly realized that Jia Zhang, who should be in the yard mending shoe soles on weekdays, was not in the yard at this time. He asked Banggeng with curiosity, "Banggeng! Where is your grandmother?"
When Banggeng heard what Jia Dongming said, he remembered what his grandmother said to him when he came back from school. He quickly said to Jia Dongming, "Uncle! Grandma, please go to the matchmaker Wang's house in the next alley. She said she wants to find an aunt for me so that I can stay at home and look after Sophora japonica."
Jia Dongming is already 28 years old this year. In this era, many people get married at the age of 18. By Jia Dongming's age, they have four or five children. Jia Dongming is still unmarried, which is very rare in this era.
Jia Dongming heard about the blind date arranged for him when he was having dinner yesterday. Qin Huairu also said at that time that she wanted to introduce her sister Qin Jingru from the countryside to Jia Dongming, but she was scolded by Jia Zhang.
In the words of Mrs. Jia Zhang, my son Jia Dongming is the security chief of a steel rolling mill, with a monthly salary of more than 100 yuan. Although he is a little older, he would marry a girl from the city. How could he possibly marry a rural woman like Dongxu did?
After learning where Jia Zhang had gone, Jia Dongming parked his bicycle against the wall, then picked up Xiaodang who was sitting on the horizontal bar and said to Banggeng, "Banggeng! Today my comrade-in-arms sent me a big bag with several big apples in it. Take two and wash them, and share them with your sister."
When Bang Geng heard Jia Dongming say there were apples to eat, his eyes suddenly lit up and he blurted out, "Uncle! I've eaten apples before, they're refreshing and sweet, and they're delicious."
Jia Dongming placed the cloth bag on the table in the main hall, then opened it, took out two Red Fuji apples, and said to Banggeng, "Banggeng! You and your sister take one of these two apples!"
In Banggeng's memory, apples are green and slightly larger than his fist. However, the apple that Jia Dongming took out was not only as big as an adult's fist, but also bright red, completely different from any apple he had ever seen.
Bang Geng stretched out his hands and took the apple from Jia Dongming. He immediately smelled the unique fragrance of the apple. Bang Geng couldn't help but say, "Uncle! This apple smells really good, but it's a little different from the apples I ate before."
