Chapter 115 Watch Repair
After the dishes were served on the table, Li Shengli took out bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses from the cupboard, and filled the glasses with the wine that Xu Damao had brought for the three of them.

After pouring the wine, Li Shengli, as the host of the house, signaled that it was time to eat. Li Shengli and Xu Damao saw Yan Bugui pick up the chopsticks and pick up the braised beef on the table.

Li Shengli and Xu Damao didn't say anything. They took a bite of the food, raised their wine glasses, clinked them lightly, and took a small sip.

"Da Mao, haven't you eaten the rice dumplings made by Lou Xiaoe?" Li Shengli asked with a smile. He didn't know what Lou Xiaoe would put in the rice dumplings.

"Oh, if you hadn't mentioned this, I would have almost forgotten it." Xu Damao complained to Li Shengli, "She put so many dates in that rice dumpling, and you don't even know what it tastes like. The key is that you can't tell me."

Li Shengli smiled and had that picture in his mind.

"Here, I brought it to you too. You can try it." Xu Damao looked up and gestured at the rice dumplings he brought.

"Oh, let me try it." Before Li Shengli could say anything, Yan Bugui spoke first. Zongzi is a good thing. There are not many dishes on the table, and it is not easy for him to eat all the meat.

Li Shengli was a little curious, so he opened the net bag that Xu Damao brought and took out a few crooked-looking dumplings from it.

Li Shengli almost laughed out loud, and casually put the zongzi on a plate and placed it on the table. Yan Bugui looked at it and took one. The zongzi was already cold, but Yan Bugui didn't care about it. He reached out to untie the rope and pushed aside the zongzi leaves to reveal the stuffing inside.

Li Shengli remained silent after seeing this. Usually, one or two red dates would be enough in a rice dumpling, but the one Lou Xiao'e made had four or five in it. This was not a rice dumpling anymore, it was called boiled red dates.

"Da Mao, thank you for your hard work." Li Shengli said while trying to hold back his laughter. Yan Bugui didn't care and pushed the food aside and put it in his mouth.

The three of them started drinking while they ate. After they finished the bottle of wine that Xu Damao brought, the three of them were a little drunk. Xu Damao, who had the lowest alcohol tolerance, was already a little tipsy.

Seeing that Xu Damao wanted to drink more, Li Shengli quickly persuaded him to stop and poured him the wine that Yan Bugui brought.

"Da Mao, I've had enough to drink. I can't drink any more." Li Shengli didn't dare to let Xu Damao drink too much. What if he got drunk in his home?

"I say, Shengli, why is Lou Xiao'e so disappointing? It's been a year and she still hasn't gotten pregnant." Xu Damao complained to Li Shengli when he was drunk.

"Why are you saying this to a unmarried person like me?" Li Shengli complained.

"Yeah, what can I say to a rookie like you?" Xu Damao thought that he had acted foolishly and said to Li Shengli proudly.

Li Shengli really wanted to punch Xu Damao, but then he thought that Xu Damao was a hopeless case so he decided to let him go.

"Over there, ask the third uncle, he has many children." Li Shengli kicked the ball to Yan Bugui who was still picking on the table with chopsticks.

"Yes, Third Uncle, please tell me about it. You have more experience." Xu Damao's eyes lit up. Yes, there is an example in front of him.

"Cough cough." Yan Bugui was eating and almost choked when he heard this. He didn't have any experience in giving birth.

"Da Mao, the time has not come yet. It will come naturally when the time comes." Yan Bugui couldn't say who had the problem between you and your wife.

Well, Li Shengli rolled his eyes, which is the same as not saying anything.

After the three men finished drinking, all the food on the table was eaten up. Li Shengli watched Xu Damao walking towards the backyard drunk. When he reached the middle yard, he met Sha Zhu and the other man talked about something.

The next day, Li Shengli went to work as usual. After getting off work early in the afternoon, he went to the woolen mill to pick up Han Qiuyun. Seeing the baldness on Han Qiuyun's wrist, Li Shengli remembered that he still had a watch that had not been repaired. It had been there for several months. Li Shengli sent Han Qiuyun home. The two talked for a while, and then Li Shengli rode away.

"Qiuyun, are you guys done?" Han Qiuyun entered the compound after Li Shengli left, and an old lady asked Han Qiuyun with a gossipy look.

"Oh, yes." Han Qiuyun nodded with a red face. Now that the relationship was confirmed, there was no need to hide it.

The aunt looked at Han Qiuyun with regret. What a good opportunity was wasted. If Han Qiuyun had married her second son, her youngest son would have also had a house. It was a pity that she was one step too late.

On Sunday, Li Shengli took on a private shipment. Early in the morning, he put the broken Rolex in his pocket and went to the watch shop that Director Wang mentioned.

"Master, do you think this watch can be repaired?" Li Shengli took out the broken Rolex and said to the master at the counter.

"Let me take a look." The old master heard the voice, put down the work in his hands and walked over.

The master craftsman turned the knob on the side and listened to the sound, then took out professional tools to remove the rear dial and took a look.

"It can be repaired, but where did you get this watch?" The old master squinted at Li Shengli and touched the dark red area in the groove of the watch.

Li Shengli understood that the old master must have noticed that there was blood on the watch.

"I bought it at a trust store, and here's the certificate." Li Shengli handed over the certificate issued by the trust store at that time.

The old master took it, looked at it and said, "Some of the parts inside are loose, some are damaged, and there is rust. It needs a good maintenance. You are lucky that I have all the broken parts. How about this, you give me ten dollars, and I will replace the original parts for you and maintain it for you."

Li Shengli calculated the price and thought that it was not a loss to buy genuine parts.

"Okay, I'll come pick it up this afternoon." Li Shengli agreed. "By the way, can I change my watch to a ladies' strap?"

"The Rolex cannot be replaced. I don't have a ladies' watch strap like this." The old master shook his head.

"What about this Shanghai brand watch?" Li Shengli asked as he took off the watch on his wrist.

"This one is good. I have this type of women's watch strap." The old master said after looking at the Shanghai watch in Li Shengli's hand.

"When can this watch be repaired?" Li Shengli asked, pointing at the Rolex.

"If you're in a hurry, I'll fix yours later after I finish fixing the one I have." The old master looked up at Li Shengli and said slowly.

"Then, Master, I will come over to pick up this watch in the afternoon, and by the way, replace this Shanghai watch with a ladies' watch strap." Li Shengli said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, come and get it in the afternoon." The old master nodded.

Li Shengli paid the money, took the ticket issued by the master and left, and came to the place where he was working today. Today was still a wedding banquet, and a big meal was arranged for them at noon. When the meal was finished in the afternoon, Li Shengli came to Han's house with a packed lunch box.
