Silly Zhu's Moving: The Old Neighbor's Nightmare

Chapter 210 Changes in Light Rain

Upon exiting the kitchen, Sha Zhu discovered his disciple Zhang Long in a corner, holding an iron spatula and stirring the food in an iron pot, mimicking the action of stir-frying a large pot of vegetables.

There were two or three apprentices and temporary workers watching nearby.

The large iron pot outside the kitchen was a broken and unusable one that Sha Zhu had found.

Use some rags to plug the opening, and place the bottom directly into a concave pit.

You can put sand directly into the pot and then use a spatula to stir it back and forth without the sand leaking out.

There's more than one way to train arm strength; Sha Zhu has planned several methods for his apprentices.

The most basic exercises are push-ups and pull-ups.

Push-ups can strengthen the muscles in your arms, shoulders, and chest, increasing upper body strength. You can start with standard push-ups and gradually increase the difficulty, such as narrow-grip push-ups.

Pull-ups primarily train the strength of the back and arms, and are very helpful in improving arm strength. If you can't do a standard pull-up at first, you can practice with the help of someone else.

Shazhu strictly requires his disciples to progress gradually during strength training to avoid overtraining that could lead to muscle strain.

After each training session, perform appropriate stretching to help muscles recover and reduce muscle soreness.

Later generations had dumbbell training methods, but there are no such methods now. Sha Zhu can only tell his disciples to carry more heavy objects at home to strengthen their arm muscles.

After Zhang Long practiced for a while, he stopped, and several onlookers also started practicing.

Sha Zhu observed for a while, and when it was time to leave work, he found Squad Leader Zhao, said something, and left without paying attention to everyone's stares.

Not to mention the envious looks from the kitchen staff, even the security guards at the steel mill gate all knew Sha Zhu.

As usual, when he arrived at the school gate, Sha Zhu parked his bicycle, took out a cigarette, lit it, and waited patiently. He had to ask Yan Lao Kou if he was still going fishing at Shichahai today.

To Sha Zhu's surprise, he didn't see a swarm of older elementary school students rushing out when school let out.

Instead, it was Rainwater wearing a red scarf, with a bright red flower that had been plucked from some flower and hung on her clothes.

He walked out surrounded by a group of friends and two teachers, Mr. Yan and Mr. Yushui, the homeroom teacher.

The little raindrops smiled like flowers, beaming with joy.

Sha Zhu didn't understand what had happened.

Now there are little red flowers as rewards. Sha Zhu remembers that the "little red flower" as a reward symbol first appeared in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

The name "Little Red Flower" gradually came into use after the Nanjing Little Red Flower Art Troupe was established in 1957. The "Little Red Flower" became widely used as an award symbol after the 1970s.

Elementary school students at this age shouldn't have had "little red flowers" as a reward tool, I don't know which teacher came up with this idea.

I don't know what Xiaoyushui did.

Just as Sha Zhu stood up and casually threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, Yu Shui's homeroom teacher had already brought Yu Shui over.

Rainwater's homeroom teacher, surnamed Xu, was in her early twenties, a very beautiful woman who perfectly matched Shazhu's aesthetic standards. It's just a pity…

The homeroom teacher smiled, walked up to Sha Zhu, and shook his hand, saying...

"Master He, hello, we meet again. He Yushui said her brother is at the school gate, so I came out specifically to see you!"

He Yushui, this time, donated all of her New Year's money and pocket money to the Korean War relief donation drive.

The donation was seventeen yuan and thirty-three cents. The school principal and the head of the academic affairs office requested that your sister, He Yushui, be used as a model case in a publicity campaign.

We also need to conduct an interview at your home. We hope Mr. He will cooperate with our promotional activities!

Sha Zhu is still in a daze. His sister asked him for two cents yesterday, saying it was for donation. He never expected that she would give up all his savings today!

Looking at the expectant eyes of the homeroom teacher, Mr. Yan, and the group of excited children, Sha Zhu felt utterly devastated.

The sixth brother often teaches little Yushui not to stand out, but then he ignores his older brother's words.

Is being famous really that great? Of course, everyone wants to be famous these days.

The more famous you are, the more respect and flattery you will receive, and you will gradually become addicted to it.

Little do they know that no matter how happy they are now, when everyone lifts them up high, one wrong move and they might fall to their death!

Seeing the way Yu Shui looked at him, desperately wanting his praise, Sha Zhu couldn't possibly discourage Yu Shui in front of everyone.

"Teacher Xu, you know me, I'm a bit of a rascal, so I didn't expect my younger sister to be so sensible."

This is all thanks to my second uncle. You know how well I raised my sister before he came to live with us.

There's a parent-teacher meeting sometimes, and my second uncle always attends it. Why don't you ask him to help you with the promotion?

Sha Zhu is at a loss now; he doesn't want to cooperate with the school's meddling and make himself the target of public criticism.

Sha Zhu can now predict how things will develop; there aren't any good people in his neighborhood.

My sister donated seventeen yuan and thirty-three cents, which is equivalent to most middle-aged men's monthly earnings.

Being too outstanding isn't necessarily a good thing. When the school teachers are around, people can offer compliments.

After the school teachers left, the gossipy old ladies in the alley started making comparisons.

When they realized their own homes couldn't compare, they started finding fault and picking at things.

His own sister donated as much as seventeen yuan; how could her brother be less capable than her?

Inquire about Sha Zhu's donation quota again; by the next day, various attacks, rumors, and accusations were rampant.

Although Sha Zhu could produce the donation receipt given by Director Wang to stop the rumors.

But if Shazhu does that, then even bigger trouble will follow.

The neighbors and colleagues from the factory would swarm around him, flattering, fawning, praising, and fawning, praising him to an even higher level. Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

I don't have the skill of Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level craftsman, who wields his moral cudgel with consummate skill.

Even the shadowy, foolish pillar who had gained access to the inner sanctum, no longer wanted to get involved.

Given Sha Zhu's current personality, he'd love for everyone to fear him, but living in the alleyway managed by the neighborhood committee, he can't do that. If he offends all his neighbors, how will he ever find a girlfriend?

In this era, reputation is the main theme; it's linked to your life, work, dating, and so on.

Reputation influences every aspect of life.

If he got married, Sha Zhu wouldn't have so many worries. But now he can't just cause trouble and become a villain in the eyes of the neighbors.

Sha Zhu, accompanied by two teachers and a large group of elementary school students, marched in a grand procession towards Nanluoguxiang.

The plan was to lure this group of people to a small restaurant and leave them to be dealt with by his second uncle.

I believe that with Uncle Cai's unassuming nature and adult mindset, he can definitely resolve this perfectly. It's better for me to stay hidden.
