Chapter 347 New Year's Day
Chapter 347 New Year's Day
When Wang Dabao returned to the factory, it was already 8:30 in the morning.
After instructing Feng Biao and Zheng Jun to send the team members who participated in the arrest operation home for a holiday to rest, he rode his bicycle back to the compound.
As the year draws to a close, the streets become bustling and the cold wind doesn’t seem so cold anymore. It has to be said that the festive atmosphere is still very strong these days.
After entering the compound, we greeted each other along the way, calling Section Chief Wang and Section Chief Wang.
Wang Dabao thought that after a few days of fermentation, the incident with him as section chief would be over, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated people's awe of officials, especially since he was so fond of the family compound.
The first thing to do when I get home is of course to light the stove, otherwise it would be uninhabitable in this house.
The stove is on, but it will take some time to raise the temperature.
After Wang Dabao closed the door, he went straight into the space farm.
I didn't sleep all night last night, so I felt very sleepy and fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when he woke up. He had a quick meal at the farm and returned to the courtyard. He saw that there was still some charcoal in the stove, so he added some coal and it soon started burning.
After a while, the temperature in the room rose. Wang Dabao estimated that it was more than 20 degrees.
Lie down on the big kang, wow, it’s so warm.
Just two words: comfortable!
After boiling water and drinking tea by the stove, Wang Dabao couldn't help but think of Xiao Su's figure in his mind. Although this girl didn't make him feel stunning at first sight, she became more and more attractive the more he looked at her.
Wang Dabao also appreciates his conversation and knowledge. The key is that the two of them can chat together, and it would be nice if they could make friends.
Since coming to Siheyuan, he really has no friends with whom he can talk.
He could only occasionally chat with his housekeeper and two dogs at the space farm and talk about his worries. But he could only talk there and could not get a response from the other party.
It would be great if you could have a friend with whom you can talk often without any conflict of interest.
If he had to choose a wife from among the girls he knew, Wang Dabao thought Xiao Su was the first choice, but he didn't know how the girl felt about him.
In the evening, we still went to the farm to eat and then returned to the compound to sleep.
This time Wang Dabao learned his lesson and found some coal powder and mixed it with water to start the stove. As expected, he slept soundly until dawn.
Today is New Year's Eve. Wang Dabao doesn't need to go to the factory during the day. With Section Chief Hu watching over him, he can just go there to be on duty at night.
However, since it was New Year's Day, he wanted to go there early so that Lao Hu, Feng Biao, Zheng Jun and others could go home early to spend the New Year with their wives, children and families.
Anyway, he is alone, so it doesn't matter whether he lies at home or in the factory.
Wang Tiangao went back to the village on holiday yesterday and will not be back until the fifth day of the New Year. He has nowhere to go to get a meal even if he wants.
When I opened my eyes, it was already bustling outside. Most of the people in the yard were workers from the steel rolling mill. Everyone had been on vacation recently, so they had more free time.
Xu Damao has been going to his parents' house for dinner recently and then going back to Hongxing Courtyard to sleep at night.
Wang Dabao was just about to get up when there was a knock on the door. He had no choice but to put on his clothes hastily and go to open the door.
When he opened the door, he saw the rare guest, Yi Zhonghai.
"Brother Dabao, today is Chinese New Year, you can't stay in bed and sleep in. There are rules for this."
As Yi Zhonghai entered the room, he started laughing. Wang Dabao also smiled and nodded, and welcomed him into the inner room.
Because of the cold weather, the sofas, coffee tables, etc. were all moved into the west room.
After Yi Zhonghai sat down, Wang Dabao made a pot of tea and waited for the next part.
If there was nothing going on, Yi Zhonghai wouldn't come to chat with him, and it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to come to his house during the New Year.
But Wang Dabao couldn't guess it after trying for a while, so he could only wait for him to say it himself.
After drinking a cup of tea, Yi Zhonghai asked thoughtfully: "Brother Dabao, you will be twenty-four after the Chinese New Year, right?"
Although Wang Dabao was puzzled, he nodded anyway, and then prepared tea for Yi Zhonghai. He did not fail to show proper courtesy.
Yi Zhonghai came this time to find out Wang Dabao's opinion. Of course, he didn't want He Yushui and Wang Dabao to be together, but dragging it out was not a solution as the deaf old lady was urging him.
Wang Dabao was not in the hospital a while ago, and he was also busy with work at the end of the year, so it is understandable that these things came together.
Now that he is on vacation and Wang Dabao has moved back to the courtyard, his intentions will become obvious if he doesn't come over.
"It's not a good idea to live alone all the time. Have you ever thought about finding a partner?"
Yi Zhonghai picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Look at Yan Jiecheng from Yan Bugui's family. He is about the same age as you, but he is also married. When Dongxu was your age, Banggeng would have run away."
After Yi Zhonghai said this, Wang Dabao understood that this guy was here to introduce a girl.
"To be honest with you, Lao Yi, this guy really wants to get married and live his life when he's old enough." Wang Dabao laughed, thinking that he should shut the other person up first, "Recently, the factory leader introduced a girl to me. She's pretty good and they're dating."
"Ah? Dabao, are you dating someone?!"
Yi Zhonghai showed surprise, "Oh, that's good news. I saw that you always come in alone, so I wanted to introduce you. It seems that I was too impatient."
The two of them then chatted about random things. Yi Zhonghai wanted to find out about the various conditions of the blind date candidate from Wang Dabao, but Wang Dabao just answered vaguely.
Before leaving, Yi Zhonghai invited Wang Dabao to his home in the evening to celebrate the New Year.
"Brother Dabao, there are only your old sister-in-law and I at home. If you don't mind, just come to my house to celebrate the New Year."
"Oh, thank you, Lao Yi. I appreciate your kindness, but I still have to go to the factory to be on duty tonight. Those brothers all have families, and I'm the only bachelor. How can I let them be on duty during the New Year's Day?"
Yi Zhonghai didn't care that he didn't introduce Wang Dabao to his home for the New Year, but he felt disappointed that he didn't invite Wang Dabao to his home for the New Year.
As soon as Yi Zhonghai left, Xu Damao came in.
"Brother Dabao, have you seen that now that you have become the section chief, even Yi Zhonghai has come to wish you a happy new year?" Xu Damao's face was full of disdain. "You are a rude man, but now you have given up being a lord and have switched to flattering others."
"We are brothers, we have a good relationship. I won't do anything to you just because of your change of status, right, Dabao?!"
"Yes, drink your tea quickly, it will get cold soon."
Wang Dabao poured the tea and pushed it towards Xu Damao, "You have to go back to your parents at noon today."
Xu Damao chuckled and picked up the teacup: "Let's drink the tea poured by the section chief."
After drinking the tea in one gulp, Xu Damao wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm not going back at noon. I'm thinking that we can spend the night together. You can go with me to my parents' house in the evening, and then we can go back to the compound together after dinner."
After saying that, Xu Damao looked at Wang Dabao expectantly.
"Forget it, let's figure out what's going on. You should go home and accompany the old man. Besides, I have to be on duty at the factory tonight." Wang Dabao patted Xu Damao on the shoulder.
Xu Damao frowned: "Don't worry, you'll be on duty tonight, so why don't we have a drink at noon?"
"No, maybe I have to go to an elder's house at noon, so we can drink anytime."
"That's fine, but if there are any changes, tell me."
