He Yuzhu said: "I don't go home often. If my family needs something, I will borrow it when I don't have it."

Xu Damao said enthusiastically: "Brother Zhu, try the pork."

"Brother Zhu, have a drink!"

He Yuzhu guessed: "You must have some request, right?"

Xu Damao said sincerely: "Brother Zhu, now that I have officially become a worker, I also want to improve my consciousness. What do you think..."

He Yuzhu replied, "Don't be anxious for now. The time is not ripe yet. Be patient and wait for a few years. People outside will have the opportunity to be promoted. How could you miss it?"

"The chief and deputy chief of your Propaganda Department are both fine now, and you don't even have a chance to meet them!"

As the two were feasting and enjoying fine wine, Yan Bugui appeared.

"Zhu Zi, Damao, are you still eating?"

As Yan Bugui spoke, his throat moved. He almost drooled as he smelled the delicious aroma of the mutton stewed in the pot.

Xu Damao asked quickly: "Second Uncle, what can I do for you?"

Yan Bugui finally withdrew his eyes from the copper pot.

"Cough cough..."

"There's a girl outside who's looking for a pillar!"

He Yuzhu looked confused: "Could I have heard this wrongly?"

"Looking for you," Yan Bugui nodded firmly, "She said it very clearly!"

He Yuzhu: "Okay, I'll go outside and see what's going on."

Xu Damao reminded: "Second Uncle, don't think about my plate of mutton."

"By the way, let your family disperse and help me sweep the snow outside the door tomorrow."

Yan Bugui responded dissatisfiedly: "Why should my son clean up the snow in your house?"

Xu Damao crossed his legs and said, "I'll give you two steamed buns as a reward tomorrow morning."

"Two pairs is not enough," Yan Bugui held up two fingers, "I want two steamed buns!"

"no problem."

"But if the snow doesn't stop tomorrow, you have to give me another round in the evening!"

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Okay, it's a deal!"

Xu Damao took out two hard steamed buns from the bowl rack and handed them to the other party: "Here you go."

These steamed breads have hardly ever been touched, and now they finally come in handy.

He Yuzhu came to the gate.

"Xu Huizhen?"

"Team Leader He."

He Yuzhu was surprised: "Why did you come here? It's so cold and snowy."

Xu Huizhen carried a bag of urea on her shoulder and untied it: "I have made your winter clothes and pants with the newly untied cotton and came here specially to give them to you."

"I came into the city by bullock cart."

He Yuzhu rubbed his feet, feeling a little cold: "Let's sit down in the house first."

He Yuzhu led Xu Huizhen into the house and asked her to put down the things she had brought with her: "Put them here first and go to the backyard to eat. If you have anything to say, we can talk while we eat."

Xu Huizhen shook off the snow on her body and walked into the backyard.

"Da Mao, put out another set of bowls and chopsticks."

"Ok."

Xu Huizhen said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

Xu Damao said indifferently: "You are Zhu Ge's friend, which means you are also my Xu Damao's friend, you are welcome."

When you come to my house, just treat it as your own and don't be too restrained.

He Yuzhu noticed that Xu Huizhen was still slow to start eating, so he took the initiative to help her pick up some cooked mutton and put it in her bowl: "Eat slowly."

"Thank you." Xu Huizhen said.

Xu Damao touched his chin thoughtfully: "You...you should be..."

"We've met somewhere before, but I can't remember where."

Xu Huizhen prompted: "Projectionist Xu Damao, you should have been to our village!"

Xu Damao suddenly remembered: "Your last name is Xu?"

He Yuzhu warned: "You must behave yourself in the countryside. I am not trying to scare you. If you make any mistakes, not only will you lose your job, you will also have to go to jail."

Xu Damao assured: "Brother Zhu, am I the kind of person who cannot be trusted?"

Hey, that's just you!

"Brother Zhu, look how lucky you are!" There was a hint of sourness in Xu Damao's words.

"Go ahead, don't think too much. I just helped Xu Huizhen before, but it doesn't mean what you think."

Xu Huizhen also explained what happened before, and this was explained to Xu Damao.

He Yuzhu said: "Even if I ask you to eat and drink, you can't shut up. If you refuse to drink, then I will take back my Moutai."

Xu Damao quickly stopped him: "No, no, this is such an expensive bottle of wine. I've spent one-third of my salary on it. How can I not drink it?"

Xu Huizhen was surprised when she heard this and asked, "Where did you get such expensive wine?"

She had never even heard of such expensive wine.

Is this the rhythm of the city, eating big chunks of meat and drinking big bowls of wine?

But that’s not how Brother Jianshe described it!

Perhaps seeing Xu Huizhen's confusion, He Yuzhu explained: "Daily life in the city may be only slightly richer than in the countryside."

"Xu Damao's family will not be hungry if he eats all by himself, and he just got his salary, so he ate the meat to satisfy his craving. Normally, they eat steamed bread as their main food, and occasionally some steamed bread."

Sure enough, Xu Damao, who had a poor alcohol tolerance, got a little drunk after a while.

He Yuzhu suggested: "Let's go."

Xu Huizhen asked: "Do you want me to help you deal with him?"

He Yuzhu waved his hand: "No need, just let him handle it himself."

The two returned to the middle courtyard, and He Yuzhu asked, "Did you come here specially to deliver something to me?"

Xu Huizhen did not explain much, but just took out the cotton jacket and trousers she had sewn by herself and gave them to him.

"Try it to see if it fits."

He Yuzhu joked: "Just try it on like this?"

How could he not understand Xu Huizhen's feelings? He Yuzhu is no longer the young man who only wanted to steal vegetables.

"Oh!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, you'll disturb the neighbors!"

They simply hugged each other and sprayed some saliva on each other. There was no secret at all in the courtyard.

Jia Zhang was watching quietly from the side, and as soon as he turned off the lights, she would quietly go to look for the wide-brimmed hat.

He Yuzhu, who was carrying a gift, said, "Follow me."

Xu Huizhen wondered: "Where are we going?"

"My neighbor's room was converted into a kitchen. It's not spacious enough for one person to live in, so I found a new place. You can't leave tonight."

Watching them leave, Jia Zhang's eyes were filled with reluctance.

"Come up!"

"Is this car yours?"

"It's from the factory. I'm just using it temporarily."

He Yuzhu would send Zhao Jianshe to pick up and drop off factory director Yang Huaide and Li Huaide every day, so naturally the car keys were in his hands.

"It's so warm!"

“It’s the heater!”

Xu Huizhen was very surprised by this. She didn't expect there would be such a convenience.

Vehicles can drive through the gate of the family area and enter directly without security checks.

The guard at the door would not specifically check the things brought by the director, otherwise it would be a stupid act.

"Stop here."

"What are you doing?"

He Yuzhu lied: "My relatives from the countryside came to give me some New Year's gifts."
