Chapter 482 Speak of the devil!

Jia Dongming chatted with his neighbors in the middle yard for a while, then pushed his bicycle towards the front yard.

When Jia Dongming pushed his bicycle to the front yard, he saw the residents in the yard, holding some peanuts and melon seeds, gathered at the door of Yan's house, asking Yan Bugui to help write couplets.

"Director Jia! Are you getting ready to go out?" Neighbor A, who was waiting to write couplets, saw Jia Dongming pushing a bicycle and immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"Dongming! Where are you going so early in the morning?" Neighbor B, seeing Jia Dongming, also greeted him enthusiastically.

Jia Dongming heard what his neighbors said and replied with a smile: "Dear uncles and aunts! The steel mill is now on holiday, and only our security department comrades are on duty. I am the head of the security department, and I need to go to the factory to check on the guards at irregular intervals every day."

When the residents in the courtyard heard what Jia Dongming said and learned why he went out early in the morning, they all gave him a thumbs up.

"Director Jia! Have you written the couplets for your family? I can write a few couplets for you for free." Just as Jia Dongming was pushing his bicycle and preparing to go out, Yan Bugui, who was helping his neighbors write couplets, suddenly shouted to Jia Dongming.

When Jia Dongming heard Yan Bugui say that he was willing to write couplets for his family for free, a sentence immediately came to Jia Dongming's mind: free is the most expensive!

If it was other residents in the courtyard who said they could write couplets for them for free, Jia Dongming might still believe it. However, when faced with Yan Bugui's offer for free, Jia Dongming did not believe it at all. You know, Yan Bugui's motto is, "You will be poor if you have enough food and clothes, but you will be poor if you don't plan well."

But it is not advisable to extend a hand to a smiling person. Facing Yan Bugui's proposal, Jia Dongming smiled and thanked Yan Bugui: "Teacher Yan! I appreciate your kindness. Our couplets have been written and are waiting for me to come back and post them later."

When Yan Bugui learned that the Jia family's couplets had already been written, a look of disappointment immediately appeared on his face. He replied with a fake smile: "Director Jia! Since you have already written the couplets, forget it."

When Jia Dongming heard Yan Bugui's answer and saw the lost expression on Yan Bugui's face, he smiled and thanked Yan Bugui, then pushed his bicycle and walked out of the courtyard.

Jia Dongming rode his bicycle to the steel rolling mill to check on his work, and then rode aimlessly along the main road.

Before he knew it, Jia Dongming had ridden to Qianmen Street. He saw the sign of the tavern and thought that he hadn't been to the tavern for a long time. He then locked his bicycle and walked into the tavern.

"Director Jia! You haven't come to our tavern for a long time." Jia Dongming had just walked into the tavern. Xu Huizhen, who was standing in front of the counter, saw Jia Dongming coming and immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

When Jia Dongming heard Xu Huizhen's greeting and saw the rather deserted tavern in front of him, he smiled and replied, "Madam Boss! I just happened to pass by your tavern today and saw that it was still open. I thought I hadn't been here for a while, so I decided to come in and have a drink."

Jia Dongming paused for a moment and asked curiously, "Madam Boss! There are not many customers during the Chinese New Year, why don't you close the tavern for a break?" Xu Huizhen smiled and explained, "Director Jia! I live in the backyard of the tavern. There is actually not much difference between closing the tavern and not closing it. As for why it is so quiet today, it is mainly because of the Chinese New Year."

After hearing Xu Huizhen's explanation, Jia Dongming smiled and said to her, "Madam Boss! Then give me two taels of wine and two bowls of side dishes."

When Xu Huizhen heard what Jia Dongming said, she immediately greeted him warmly, "Director Jia! Please take a seat first. I will get you some wine and some side dishes."

Soon Xu Huizhen brought the wine and dishes to the table where Jia Dongming was sitting, and said to him with a smile: "Director Jia! Today is New Year's Day, this dinner is on my table."

When Jia Dongming heard what Xu Huizhen said, he immediately refused with a smile: "Boss lady! I appreciate your kindness, but I will charge you as much as you should, otherwise I won't come next time."

Xu Huizhen heard what Jia Dongming said and said to him with a smile: "Director Jia! The reason why I invited you, besides the fact that today is New Year's Eve, is mainly because of my good sister Chen Xueru. Thank you for catching the enemy spy hiding in the backyard of Xueru Silk Shop."

In the plot of Little Women, Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru are lifelong friends. They love and hate each other and compete for the top in the business world. Even their marriage models have a little bit in common, both are remarried. The only difference is their attitude towards marriage.

Although Jia Dongming already knew that Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru were good friends, when he heard Xu Huizhen mention Chen Xueru, Jia Dongming still pretended to be surprised and asked Xu Huizhen curiously: "Boss! You and Chen Xueru are good sisters, is this true?"

Xu Huizhen heard Jia Dongming's question and saw his surprised expression. She smiled and said to him, "Director Jia! Don't think that we always bicker when we meet each other. In fact, in private, we are really good friends, but outsiders don't know it."

When Xu Huizhen said this, she happened to see Chen Xueru walking into the tavern from outside. She couldn't help but said with a smile: "Speaking of the devil, the devil will appear. Fortunately, I didn't say bad things about someone behind his back."

Seeing that there were no customers in the shop, Chen Xueru asked the clerk to close the shop and go home for the New Year. She herself was thinking of sitting in the tavern for a while and then going home to spend the New Year with her mother and children. However, before she even entered the shop, she heard what Xu Huizhen said, which made her very confused.

Just as Chen Xueru was wondering what was going on, she saw a familiar figure from behind. Her eyes lit up and she complained to Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! Why didn't you come to the Silk Shop to find me when you came to Qianmen Street?"

Jia Dongming was also very surprised when he heard Xu Huizhen's words. It was not until he heard Chen Xueru's complaint that he turned around and saw Chen Xueru walking into the tavern from outside wearing a cheongsam.

Jia Dongming heard Chen Xueru's complaints and saw her resentful expression. He replied a little embarrassedly, "Boss Chen! I was out shopping today and happened to pass by here. I thought of going to the tavern to have a drink and warm up my body, and then go home to paste the couplets."

"I was just chatting with the boss lady, where are you? I didn't expect you to be here. Fortunately, the boss lady and I didn't say bad things about you behind your back."
