Liu Haizhong also became anxious when he heard this.

What's the matter? I've paid for it myself and you're still not happy? Isn't this obviously messing things up?

"Shazhu, our compound is hosting a screening tonight, and the neighbors from all the compounds are guests. We can't let them think we're stingy."

Liu Haizhong didn't want to argue with Sha Zhu and let the neighbors in the next yard laugh at him, so he made the final decision, "This spoonful is mine. From now on, I will only sell whole spoonfuls. If it can't fit in the thermos, bring the teacup over."

Liu Haizhong snorted and glared at Sha Zhu, then looked at Qin Huairu.

"Huai Ru, if someone uses a thermos to serve tea, don't add another spoonful when you think it's almost full."

"Okay, don't worry, uncle. I'll just listen for any noise when it's almost full. This won't happen again."

Qin Huairu wiped the sweat from her head and quickly agreed.

Although she sells it cheaply, the profit is quite big. It is estimated that she can sell several hundred bowls in one night. After deducting the cost of tea foam, she can make several dollars.

It's worth it even if you're busy and tired.

Sha Zhu also knew that many neighbors from other courtyards were watching, so he didn't argue with Liu Haizhong anymore.

He made some tea, said hello to Wang Dabao, and left with the thermos.

Yan Bugui beside him cried out "Ouch!" and quickly grabbed Wang Dabao's arm: "Dabao, you're wearing a watch, right? Please help me check the time. I have to go to the gate to wait for the teachers. We'll be there soon."

"Well, why are you still looking at the watch? There's nothing to do now. Go and wait at the door."

Wang Dabao didn't even look at his watch. He just laughed and pushed Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui thought so too. Why was he still looking at the watch? It was almost time. He quickly said something to Liu Haizhong and ran to the front yard.

Liu Haizhong glanced at Yan Bugui's back and hummed to Wang Dabao: "This old Yan is the same. He had already told the teacher at the school, but he didn't know to wait at the door early. When people came in, he didn't know where to go first."

"Well, he's just as busy as you, working for the compound and forgetting about it."

Wang Dabao chuckled.

"He, his mind is on his son's sweet potato stall."

Liu Haizhong muttered, then pulled Wang Dabao's arm, "Brother Dabao, if you have nothing to do, why don't you follow me around."

"Okay, let's go."

Showing a movie in the theater kept Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui very busy.

Liu Haizhong wanted to show off his status as a big boss and let everyone, the manager of the next yard, and the neighbors see his ability to control things.

By the way, you can also become famous in the street office.

But Yan Bugui's case was much simpler. At first, he might have done it for the compound, but things have changed recently.

There is a lot of money to be made from selling peanuts and melon seeds, but of course, this is not just his business.

But now his son and daughter-in-law have set up a roasted sweet potato stall, which is a way to generate income for his family.

So, Yan Bugui is very active now and he wishes he could have two more games like this before the New Year.

The movie was about to start, and Liu Haizhong wanted to go and take a look at Xu Damao. He and Wang Dabao walked through the crowd and took a look. Wow, there was no trace of Xu Damao in front of the equipment at all.

This made Liu Haizhong very angry.

The movie equipment is just there, with no one guarding it. If someone has nothing better to do, come over and make a fuss, or if a kid plays around and bumps into something, the movie won't be shown anymore.

Just as Liu Haizhong was puffing his beard and glaring, he heard Xu Damao's voice coming from Yu Li's sweet potato stall.

"Sister Haitang, don't believe what Shazhu said just now. He and I are born to be incompatible. Everyone in this courtyard knows that he deliberately framed me. He likes to say bad things about me behind my back the most."

Xu Damao had a big smile on his face as he explained next to Yu Haitang.

Yu Haitang smiled lightly, "Brother Xu, my sister just told me about your hospital. Besides, I didn't hear clearly what that person said."

Xu Damao was secretly happy, thinking he still had a chance.

"Xu Damao!"

Liu Haizhong searched for a long time before he found Xu Damao. He immediately shouted loudly, which scared Wang Dabao who was standing next to him.

Wow, he is worthy of being a blacksmith, he is full of energy.

Xu Damao was bragging to Yu Haitang about his status as the third uncle of the compound, while Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng, a couple standing beside him, were listening with their noses pinched.

Liu Haizhong's shout saved them.

Xu Damao quickly said something to Yu Haitang, then hurriedly pushed his way through the crowd and strode over here.

"Xu Damao, what are you doing? You...you're just leaving this equipment like this?"

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly. "Can you please do things more carefully? Remember your identity and think carefully before doing anything. If this movie can't be shown, how are you going to explain it to all the neighbors in the yard?"

"No, uncle, what you said is a bit serious. Isn't this equipment good enough?"

Xu Damao's face twitched. Seeing Liu Haizhong shaking with anger, he did not dare to confront him. "I just finished debugging the machine. I'm going to Yan Jiecheng's stall to buy some sweet potatoes."

Liu Haizhong was panting and just staring at Xu Damao without saying a word.

This made Xu Damao a little scared, and he unconsciously looked at Wang Dabao for help.

"It's ok, Lao Liu, nothing happened. Damao was just careless for a moment, so let's forget about it."

Wang Dabao advised from the side, then looked at Xu Damao, "Here, Damao, if you have something to do next time, call Guangtian over and ask him to help you for a while, so that there won't be too many people and the machine will break down."

"Hey, okay, don't worry."

Xu Damao quickly agreed.

If someone else had advised him, Liu Haizhong might have retorted, saying that nothing had happened yet and it would be too late if something happened.

But the one who spoke was Section Chief Wang, so he had to give him some face.

"Xu Damao, you can't leave this equipment before the movie starts. As Dabao said, I'll ask Guangtian to come over later. If you need to go to the bathroom during the movie, tell him."

After saying this, Liu Haizhong asked Wang Dabao to leave.

Xu Damao was so angry that he cursed silently behind Liu Haizhong.

Not far away, Yu Li poked her sister Yu Haitang: "See, he was showing off here for a long time, but he ended up bowing and scraping when he returned, and Uncle Dabao had to help him out."

Yan Jiecheng beside him snorted, "He's still called the Third Uncle. At best, he's just an errand boy for my dad and Liu Haizhong."

Liu Haizhong and Wang Dabao walked around and finally arrived at the sweet potato stall of Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li.
