Chapter 114 Well done
To be honest, after staying in the store for a while, although it was extremely uncomfortable at the beginning, it was much better after staying there for a long time than staying in the courtyard.

There are people to communicate with, colleagues, customers, and all kinds of gossip.

It’s more fulfilling than staying in a courtyard.

She really never thought about quitting her job.

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Teacher Delia doesn't have night classes. How can you learn from her if you don't quit your job?"

Lou Xiao'e said quickly:

"That's fine, I just said that casually. Whatever you learn, I want to learn the same as you."

Wang Yuanchao also thought of something and said:
"Why don't you learn more? If you can take leave from the store, take it. If you can't, just quit. You don't expect that little salary anyway."

Lou Xiao'e said happily:

"I'll listen to you!"

After breakfast, Lou Xiao'e carried some bowls and chopsticks in a basket. Wang Yuanchao put the whole pot into a straw jar, picked it up, and walked to the school across the street with Lou Xiao'e.

The straw cot is a frame woven with straw and has a lid. It is lined with old clothes and can hold a hot rice pot to keep the rice warm.

The two of them swaggered into the school office.

In the office, a teacher was explaining Laba Festival and Laba porridge to the foreign language teachers. When they saw Wang Yuanchao bringing in a pot, everyone was confused.

Wang Yuanchao greeted all the teachers and said:

"This is the Laba porridge that my partner and I cooked for all the teachers, so that all the teachers can also taste our traditional food!"

Delia said happily:

"Wang, your girlfriend is very beautiful! Are you back from going out?"

Lou Xiao'e's face turned red, and she felt so happy that she didn't know what to say.

Wang Yuanchao opened the lid, poured a bowl for Delia, and said:
"I just came back yesterday, and as soon as I got back, I came to visit you, teacher!"

He finished off several bowls, but there was clearly not enough to share.

"There are only so many bowls at home. Otherwise, do the teachers have lunch boxes?"

The teachers also followed the local customs and took out their own lunch boxes. There was enough porridge anyway, as it was a big pot.

The sound of "slurping" of porridge could be heard in the office.

The ingredients are generous, the porridge is thick, and a lot of sugar is added.

Delia took a small spoon and tasted it in small sips. It was indeed delicious, and she didn't know what she would eat next.

When other teachers saw Wang Yuanchao and his wife hanging out with Delia, they didn't know what to say, but they knew that they were all benefiting from teacher Delia.

So everyone stayed away to give them some space to chat.

When Delia heard that Wang’s girlfriend wanted to learn English from her, she agreed immediately.

Anyway, she doesn't have many friends here. Her colleagues are older than her and they have nothing to talk about except work. Her husband is busy with work and has no time to accompany her, so she has nowhere to go by herself. She can only come to the school office to get together with foreign teacher colleagues from all over the world. It's so lively.

Just like Lou Xiao'e didn't want to stay in the courtyard house and would rather work in the silk shop.

And the common language everyone speaks is actually the unaccented Chinese!
She was already very happy when her student Wang Yuanchao suddenly appeared. Now that she saw his girlfriend, who was of similar age, she thought of it as making another friend.

Delia can speak quite a bit of Chinese and has been here for a long time, so she has no problem communicating with Lou Xiaoe.

Lou Xiao'e asked her to go ice skating at Shichahai.

This is what Wang Yuanchao taught her.

Anyway, I just play and stroll around with the teacher. During this time, I ask the teacher to speak more English, and we just get along like friends.

In fact, the Broadcasting School also prepared Laba porridge today, which was served in the cafeteria during lunch. However, compared with the one Wang Yuanchao brought over in the morning, it was thin, had less ingredients, and was not sweet.

The foreign teachers were addicted to the bowl of porridge they had in the morning.

Lou Xiao'e went ice skating directly with Delia, who had just eaten the porridge, leaving Wang Yuanchao alone with a pile of bowls, chopsticks and a big pot, and carrying them back to the dormitory.

Fortunately, there was plenty of hot water and no grease, so I used a loofah to scrub it, which was very quick. Wang Yuanchao went to the department store and saw a "Peony" brand 624E radio, which cost 125 yuan and 30 industrial coupons, and its actual value was about or yuan.

Generally speaking, a radio costs about 20 industrial coupons, but maybe because it is close to the Chinese New Year, the coupons have increased.

Perhaps noticing Wang Yuanchao's hesitation about the fluctuation of industrial bonds, the salesperson said:

"Last year, the 15 model presented as a gift for the 8402th anniversary of the National Day had 70 coupons left. All 1000 units in the city were sold out. Many people couldn't buy one even with a coupon."

What I mean is, you see, there are only 30 photos now...

Wang Yuanchao smiled. He was just thinking out of habit whether there was any room for profit here. He did not argue with the salesperson. He went to the cashier and happily paid the money and the bill. He took the receipt and received a brand new radio from the counter. The wooden shell was painted glossy. His brother and sister-in-law would definitely be happy to see it.

Walking to an empty corner, he stuffed the radio into the space.

He first went to Master Huang's house and brought a lamb hind leg. He asked Master Huang's wife to look at it and said that he was spending money recklessly and was not living a good life even though he was not even married yet. But at the same time, she was smiling and said that the lamb leg must be at least 10 kilograms, so he could have a good year.

Master Huang's wife was the only one at home, and she wanted him to stay for dinner. How could Wang Yuanchao agree?

If he doesn't eat here, his wife and the younger son who comes back at noon can just make do with a few steamed buns. If he wants to eat, his wife must prepare two dishes? Why bother with all that!
"I sneaked out during work and I have to run back quickly!"

The Master's wife could not tell the truth from the false, so she could only say:
"You kid, come over that night?"

Wang Yuanchao felt that there was nothing left for his master to teach him, as for those things that Master Huang was hiding, well, he could still come over occasionally in the future. If he didn't come directly, he was afraid that Master Huang would not be able to handle it.

So he said:
"Today is Laba Festival, so I won't come. I just came back from Fengtian yesterday."

The Master's wife also felt that her concern just now was inappropriate, so she said:

"Yes, yes, work comes first. You also need to spend more time with your parents. When you feel it's appropriate, come over. I'll talk to your master."

After leaving Master Huang's house, Wang Yuanchao returned to the courtyard. Without a bicycle, it was inconvenient to go anywhere, so he had to get the bicycle back from his second brother.

As a result, the house was empty, with no one in it.

Hey!
Wang Yuanchao could only walk to find Zheng Guoqiang.

As he walked, he picked up a lamb front leg, the same one he gave to Zhang Yang.

Zheng Guoqiang's family was slurping Laba porridge and invited Wang Yuanchao to join them.

Wang Yuanchao couldn't refuse, so Zheng Guoqiang happily served him a bowl of soup with the thickest base in the pot. However, it was still not as thick as what Wang Yuanchao had cooked in the dormitory in the morning. However, he had been running for half a day, so it would be fine to drink something thinner.

Because of the lamb front leg, the Zheng family members all had a better appetite for porridge.

Zheng Guoqiang knew that Wang Yuanchao wanted to talk to him about something, so he quickly finished his porridge and followed Wang Yuanchao out of the yard.

Wang Yuanchao handed over 50 and said:

"Well done!"

Zheng Guoqiang said quickly:

"I haven't spent all the money I gave you last time."

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Take it if it's given to you. I can't pay you for working for me, so just spend it first."

Zheng Guoqiang then told the story of Liang Fen.

Liang Fen took 50 yuan from here and 100 yuan from Xu Damao, then went to the hospital for a visit. After coming out, she rested happily at home for a few days and told Xu Damao that she had had an abortion.

Xu Damao did not suspect anything. A widow was about to give birth to a child, and she could not stay in the countryside. Not to mention that people from all over the country would spit at her to death, her husband's clan would also want to kill her, and she was still occupying someone else's house and land.

However, Xu Damao was still very happy that he had taken the opportunity to get rid of Lou Xiao'e, the hen that couldn't lay eggs.

Taking advantage of his work, he has even begun pursuing Yu Haitang, the most beautiful girl in the factory.

The announcer also belongs to the Propaganda Department. As a propaganda officer, shouldn’t he be the first to get the upper hand?
Unfortunately, Director Yang’s nephew Yang Weimin is also pursuing Yu Haitang, which is a bit bullying.

Xu Damao had to give in, but he did not give up.
