Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

Sha Zhu carried the thermos and walked around to Qin Huairu's tea stall to queue up.

I have to say, Qin Huairu's tea stall is really lively.

It’s not expensive, only one cent for a large spoonful, which is enough to fill a small teacup.

Neighbors from the three neighboring courtyards were notified before they came and were allowed to bring teacups. Those who didn’t bring any could drink directly from large bowls next to the tea stall.

The price is the same, one cent per bowl.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui who were standing nearby had just finished their inspection.

Qin Huairu, a pretty young wife, is selling tea here. Even though it's right at her doorstep, the two old men are still worried and come over to take a look. They're trying to make sure that the young and ignorant people don't say anything offensive.

The two of them were watching from the side, and Wang Dabao also came over.

Qin Huairu took the time to serve three bowls and asked Banggeng to bring them over.

The three of them sat on a simple long bench made of bricks and wooden boards and chatted. Perhaps Banggeng still remembered that Wang Dabao had played a trick on him and caused him to lose his front teeth, so the full bowl of tea was only half left when it was brought to Wang Dabao.

Wang Dabao didn't mind and took it and drank happily.

Bang Geng was waiting nearby. He had to take the big bowl back quickly after the three of them finished drinking, as he didn't have that many spare bowls at home.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were drinking noisily, while Wang Dabao would take a sip and chat with them for a few words, then take another sip, which made Bang Geng next to him grind his teeth and stamp his feet.

When Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui handed the bowl back to Banggeng, they saw that Wang Dabao still had the half bowl.

It seems that he just licked it a few times and then covered his hands with the bowl.

"Can you hurry up?"

Bang Geng felt that he had to speak up, "There are people waiting for their bowls over there."

"It's too hot for me to drink. Forget it. You can take it back." Wang Dabao pushed the bowl into Bang Geng's arms.

Banggeng was dumbfounded. He knew that it was Wang Dabao who gave his mother the idea to set up this stall. How would he explain if he left half a bowl of food when he took it back?

It was only two steps, and there was no way he would fall down halfway.

If his mother saw this, he would definitely be beaten, and even Jia Zhangshi would not be able to control it. Now his mother Qin Huairu has absolute say in the family.

"Drink it, please."

Bang Geng gritted his teeth, rolled his eyes and said.

"Drink it."

Wang Dabao nodded, "But you have to owe me a favor. If you promise to help me with something in the future, you will certainly get something in return."

"Okay, then drink it." Banggeng answered readily.

Wang Dabao drank the tea in one gulp and handed the bowl to Bang Geng, "Remember what you said, or I'll knock out your remaining front tooth."

Being stared at by Wang Dabao, Bang Geng shivered for no reason. He nodded cautiously and ran away with the bowl.

Yan Bugui laughed and pointed at Wang Dabao and said, "Dabao, you are an adult now, why are you scaring a child?"

"Old Yan, what you said is wrong."

Liu Haizhong straightened his back and said with full energy, "Brother Dabao, this is not a threat, this is a lesson. Banggeng is notoriously difficult to manage. Do you think he has ever been afraid of anyone in this hospital?"

"That's true. Shazhu, Xu Damao, and my Jie Cheng, who hasn't been scolded by this brat?!"

Yan Bugui straightened his dog-skin hat and said, "He doesn't dare to scold us old guys, but he won't listen to us. Now that you said that, I think Dabao is the only one in the hospital who can deal with him. That's good!"

"Hey, you two, please stop it, I'm just trying to scare you."

Wang Dabao laughed and glanced at the crowd. Seeing Wang Tiangao chatting with the people in his compound, he withdrew his gaze and said, "The lively scene in our compound today is due to the contributions of both of you!"

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui also looked around the audience and felt a little emotional.

"Brother Dabao, what do you think of my management ability, Lao Liu?"

Liu Haizhong leaned forward and asked modestly, "How about you give me an evaluation?!"

Wang Dabao nodded after thinking for a moment: "Old Liu, I think it's a waste of talent to let you manage our compound. Your room for improvement has reached a bottleneck. You need a broader space to display your management talent."

"Brother Dabao, do you really think I have talent in this area?"

Liu Haizhong's eyes were shining with an eagerness to make progress, and he looked at Wang Dabao eagerly.

"Old Liu, you are too modest. This is not a question of talent. This is a question of giftedness. Do you understand giftedness?!"

Wang Dabao coughed lightly, Liu Haizhong immediately took out a cigarette, and the three of them began to puff on smoke.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Dabao continued, "Before, you were suppressed by Yi Zhonghai, so you had to be inferior to him. Now you are soaring to the sky, and your talent is revealed at this time."

"This is something you don't need to study and comprehend. You are born with leadership skills. Now you just need to let your talent run free."

Yan Bugui adjusted his dog-skin hat again and straightened his glasses.

He really wanted to ask what the two of you were talking about, were you talking about something serious, why couldn’t I understand even though I was sitting next to you! !

Liu Haizhong swallowed his saliva and was about to ask again, but at this time a quarrel broke out in the queue for buying tea.

The three of them looked up and saw that it was Sha Zhu who was arguing with someone.

"This silly Zhu is really a worry for me. Dabao, Lao Yan, you two sit and wait for me. I'll go over and take a look."

Liu Haizhong said this while lifting his buttocks with great effort and walked over slowly.

Yan Bugui and Wang Dabao looked at each other, then stood up and followed.

Wang Dabao listened to a few words and understood.

The man who was arguing with Sha Zhu in front of him was from the compound opposite. He also came with a thermos. His family of six came to watch a movie, so there was nothing wrong with him carrying a thermos.

As a result, the thermos was full after six spoonfuls, but the stopper of the thermos could not be closed, so the man could only pour some onto the ground, which was about half a spoonful.

The man wanted to pay for five spoons as soon as he saw it, and Qin Huairu agreed. But Sha Zhu, who was standing behind the man, was not happy.

Wang Dabao and the other two were a little confused after hearing this. The tea seller agreed, but you, the one queuing up, are not happy? !

"Silly Zhu, don't make trouble here. We are all neighbors. It's okay to give him a spoonful."

Liu Haizhong scolded Sha Zhu on the side. Although he also felt that he should pay for Liu Shao's meal, after all, this was a screening event held at the Red Star Siheyuan, so he should be more generous.

When the fool heard this, he thought, Liu Haizhong, you are just being disloyal.

"I'm telling you, Mr. Liu, you're not the type to talk and do things like that. It's not easy for Sister Qin to sell some water. She's been busy with this since yesterday. You just said one word and you paid for a spoonful of tea. There are so many people carrying thermoses, and if each person pays for one spoonful, is this business going to work?"

Liu Haizhong was speechless after hearing Sha Zhu's words.

That's indeed the case. One spoonful isn't much, but if you apply too much you won't be able to hold it in.

Liu Haizhong glanced at Wang Dabao next to him and felt a little puzzled. He had just praised him for his outstanding leadership ability, but now he had encountered trouble and Sha Zhu kept complaining. He had to come up with an effective solution as soon as possible.

"Okay, this spoonful is mine." Liu Haizhong said with full energy.

Sha Zhu stiffened his neck and said, "No, that's not how it's done."
