Chapter 346: Saving my life, giving me a bowl of dumplings
Xiao Su listened to Wang Dabao's story with gratitude in her heart.
He stood up and bowed to Wang Dabao: "Thank you, Brother Wang. If it weren't for you, we really don't know what would have happened."
Wang Dabao hurriedly took two steps forward to help Xiao Su up, waved his hand and smiled, "No need to be like this, the family quarters of the steel mill are under my jurisdiction, and besides, your aunt is still my aunt, so of course I will do my best if something like this happens to you."
At this time, a convoy of jeeps arrived outside.
Wang Dabao asked everyone to get in the car and prepared to send them back.
It’s the New Year, who wouldn’t be upset if something like this happened? I guess the whole family would be looking for the person who did it like crazy.
On the way, Xiao Su kept stealing glances at Wang Dabao, feeling strange emotions in her heart.
Talking about the fact that Zhao Damaozi's wife is Xiao Su's aunt, the two chatted all the way in the car.
It can be seen that Xiao Su is a very talkative girl. Previously, Xiao Zhenguo and his wife said that their daughter stayed at home all day, which left Wang Dabao with the impression that she would be introverted. As a result, after the two chatted, they found that this girl knew a lot and could talk about everything.
Moreover, he speaks tactfully and naturally, and his eyes are clear, which makes people feel close to him unconsciously.
After sending the remaining three people home, the jeep drove into the family building of the cadre area of the steel rolling mill.
Xiao Zhenguo and his wife had already received the news, and the downstairs was full of people. Xiao Zhenguo and his wife, Zhao Da Mao and his wife, Section Chief Hu and his wife, and neighbors, a large crowd of people stood there.
The jeep stopped, and before Xiao Su could even stand still after getting out of the car, Xiao's mother rushed over, wiping her tears.
After Wang Dabao got off the car, he was pulled aside by Zhao Damaozi.
"Dabao, you are a good boy. I didn't misjudge you. I know you will have a bright future when you grow up."
Zhao Da Mao laughed and patted Wang Dabao on the shoulder. "When you return to the village, remember to come to your uncle's house for a drink and ask your aunt to prepare a few dishes for you."
"Okay, I'll definitely go drink with you when I get back."
Wang Dabao agreed happily.
Zhao Da Maozi's wife wiped her tears and nodded: "Yes, Dabao, when the time comes, I will make whatever you like to eat."
After Zhao Da Maozi and his wife went to Xiao Su's place, Wang Dabao came up to Section Chief Hu and greeted Section Chief Hu's wife.
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Dabao."
Wang Dabao said with a smile.
Section Chief Hu's wife had a kind face. Like most women, she had gained some weight at her age. She held Wang Dabao's hand and looked at him with more admiration. "Old Hu has been talking to me about how good Dabao is. Today, I finally got to see him. Come to my house when you are free. Just tell Old Hu what you want to eat and I will cook it for you."
Wang Dabao immediately agreed: "Don't worry, auntie, I will definitely come to your house often when I have time to eat and drink."
Section Chief Hu, smoking a cigarette, laughed and scolded, "This guy is my equal in the factory, but why is he calling you auntie when he's around you?"
While they were chatting, Xiao Zhenguo and his wife came over with Xiao Su.
Xiao's mother's eyes were filled with tears. She grabbed Wang Dabao's arm and kept thanking him.
Maybe it was because she hadn't slept all night and her nerves had been tense. When she relaxed now, Xiao's mother's eyes went dark and she fainted. If Wang Dabao hadn't been quick to catch her, she would have fallen to the ground.
Xiao Zhenguo quickly picked up his wife and walked home. Before leaving, he looked at Wang Dabao deeply, his eyes full of gratitude and appreciation.
Xiao Su didn't have time to talk to Wang Dabao. She followed Xiao Zhenguo home with tears in her eyes.
Section Chief Hu's wife and Mr. and Mrs. Zhao followed, leaving Wang Dabao and Section Chief Hu smoking downstairs.
After explaining the course of events and the outcome of the handling, Section Chief Hu nodded with satisfaction, indicating that Wang Dabao had handled the matter well.
"Don't go to work today. I'll go to the factory to watch over you. Go back and have a good rest." Section Chief Hu patted Wang Dabao on the arm. "Chinese New Year is coming soon. How are you going to celebrate? If not, come to my house and we can have a reunion together!"
Section Chief Hu knew Wang Dabao's situation. He used to have an uncle, but now his uncle is gone and he is the only one left at home.
He couldn't bear to let Wang Dabao spend the New Year alone in the courtyard, but he was also afraid that after calling Wang Dabao home, he would see his family reunited and be reminded of sad things and feel upset.
Despite being in a dilemma, Section Chief Hu still invited him.
Wang Dabao smiled and patted Chief Hu on the shoulder, "Forget it, Old Hu, your family is reunited, I won't join in the fun, anyway, I'm used to being alone these years."
"It's just the New Year. For me, it's no different from any other time."
After saying goodbye to Section Chief Hu, Wang Dabao and his men got on the jeep and returned to the factory.
As soon as Wang Dabao left, Xiao Zhenguo hurried downstairs.
After asking Section Chief Hu, Xiao Zhenguo learned that Wang Dabao had just left. He sighed, took out a cigarette and handed it to Section Chief Hu: "Your sister-in-law has woken up. I asked you to call Section Chief Wang. I wanted to thank him again."
"It's okay. Dabao doesn't care about these things. Zhenguo, please don't send him gifts or money. He doesn't need them. If you do, it will make the relationship more distant."
Section Chief Hu held the cigarette but did not light it. "Now that the two kids have met, the rest depends on luck. If they are attracted to each other, that would be great. If not, I will not mention it anymore."
There was a hint of smile on Xiao Zhenguo's face.
"Brother, I think Section Chief Wang is a very good person. Not to mention his appearance and height, he is outstanding among young people."
"Not to mention work. A workshop director like me is on the same level as a section chief like you in the factory, but in reality, I can't even compare to Deputy Section Chief Wang."
"Let's talk about family. Section Chief Wang and Aunt Susu are from the same village. They know each other well and are a loyal family. If this really works out, we'll be marrying above our station!"
Section Chief Hu chuckled and said, "Zhenguo, from what you said, Susu is quite satisfied with Dabao?!"
"Her aunt has been chatting with her. I listened for a while. I can guess what her daughter is thinking. Add to that the fact that she saved her life, and I think this girl has fallen in love with Section Chief Wang."
Xiao Zhenguo sighed, feeling helpless as if his little cotton-padded jacket had been worn away by someone else.
Section Chief Hu suddenly wanted to smoke, so he lit up the cigarette again and took a long puff: "Dabao is the only one left at home. It would be great if he could get married to Susu. With the love and care of you two, he can get more family warmth."
"Just now I wanted him to come to my house for dinner during the Chinese New Year, but he refused. Guess what the child said?"
Seeing Xiao Zhenguo looking over, Section Chief Hu smiled and said, "This kid said that he is used to celebrating the New Year alone. Before he joined the army, he also celebrated the New Year alone in the village."
"Then how about I ask him to come over to my house?!"
Xiao Zhenguo has only one daughter, Xiao Su, in his family. Now his daughter has fallen in love with Wang Dabao. The key is that the couple is also very satisfied with Wang Dabao, so of course they want to make this happen quickly.
Section Chief Hu waved his hand and said, "No, don't do that. Dabao is not that close to you guys yet, so don't get involved."
"Dabao chose to be on duty on the night of the New Year so that those of us who have wives and children can rest at home. If it doesn't work, just let Susu send him a bowl of dumplings. After all, she saved his life, so what's wrong with sending him a bowl of dumplings, right!"
