Comfortable life in Siheyuan

After the movie ended, the lights came on and the audience left their seats one after another. Xu Damao stood up and began to pack up the old projector. He carefully rolled up the film, put it in the box, and then wiped the lens and body.

After completing these tasks, Xu Damao turned around, faced his wife, and said calmly: "Wife, you take the child home first. There is a social event in the factory tonight, and our section chief invited me to go with you. So, I may come back later." After that, he patted the child's head gently.

After hearing this, Sun Xiaoyan's eyes showed a hint of doubt. She stared at Xu Damao closely, as if trying to find some clues from his expression. After a long time, she finally said, "Okay, but you must come back early! The children and I will be waiting for you at home."

However, Xu Damao seemed a little impatient. He frowned and replied, "Oh, I see! Don't worry, it's just an ordinary social event. You should also pay attention to safety when you go home, especially take good care of the children." As he spoke, he continued to organize the projection equipment, as if he didn't take his wife's words to heart.

Sun Xiaoyan nodded helplessly. She took her two children's hands and left the steel mill silently.

Xu Damao arrived at the canteen very quickly. He first went to the kitchen and teased Sha Zhu.

Looking at Xu Damao who looked smug, Sha Zhu couldn't help but think of what Liu Qingshan said about their nemesis in the previous life, and suddenly he didn't want to pay any attention to Xu Damao.

"Get out of here now, don't make things uncomfortable here, or I'll cut you with a knife!" Sha Zhu said with an unhappy look on his face.

"You! Go and cook your dishes, and remember to serve me well!" After saying that, Xu Damao entered the canteen.

At this time, the factory director and the guests had all arrived. When they saw Xu Damao come in, they didn't say much.

Xu Damao found an empty seat near the door and sat down, greeting people with a big smile on his face. At this time, he was surprised to find Cui Dake also sitting at the table.

As soon as the banquet started, Xu Damao stood up. After he finished his whole drinking spree about the big one and three small ones, he went under the table before he even started eating.

Xu Damao didn't know anything at this moment. Deputy Factory Director Liu Feng smiled and said, "This guy drinks a lot, but he can't hold his liquor."

Director Yang smiled and said, "It's okay. He is from the same courtyard as He Yuzhu. Let him send it back to Xu Damao later."

When Cui Dake heard this, he immediately said, "Director, Comrade Xu Damao and I are from the same hospital. I'll take him back later. Don't worry about him."

"Oh! You also live in their compound, so aren't you in the same compound as Liu Qingshan?" Deputy Director Liu asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes! I am in the same compound with them." Cui Dake said with a smile.

"There are many talented people in your compound. You should learn from them." Deputy Director Liu said with a smile.

"Yes, yes! I will definitely study more." After saying this, Cui Dake stood up and toasted everyone.

"Director Yang, this is the situation. Currently the factory's material supply is a bit behind the demand, and I'm thinking of a way to solve this problem. Then, I thought of Comrade Cui Dake. You know, he is quite familiar with people from several township communes below. So I was thinking, if we transfer him to the Purchasing Department, maybe we can use his connections to get more supplies for our factory. What do you think?" Deputy Director Liu explained his idea to Director Yang with a smile.

Hearing this, Director Yang laughed and said, "Oh? I didn't expect Xiao Cui to have such ability?"

Deputy Director Liu quickly agreed, "That's right, Director Yang. Do you remember the big fat pig that our factory slaughtered before the Chinese New Year two years ago? It weighed more than 250 kilograms! That was what Xiao Cui got."

Upon hearing this, Director Yang immediately became interested and said with a smile: "So it was he who got that super fat pig. I was wondering why it was so big. It really impressed me! It seems that transferring him to the Purchasing Department is a good idea. He can give full play to his talents and gain more resources for the factory. Okay, I approve of this! I believe he will be able to make greater contributions in the Purchasing Department." After saying that, Director Yang nodded with satisfaction.

Cui Dake then stood up and toasted Director Yang and Deputy Director Liu.

At this time, Cui Dake, who was originally going to take Xu Damao home, was also a little high and felt a little dizzy.

Director Yang asked someone to notify Sha Zhu and asked him to come over for a drink.

Sha Zhu took off his sleeve apron and walked in with a happy face.

"Shazhu is here. Your dishes are getting better and better. Let me toast you." Director Yang raised his glass.

"No, no, no, leader. I toast to you. I toast to you." After saying that, both of them drank it all in one gulp.

"Zhu Zi, after the dinner is over, please help send Xu Damao back. This kid is drunk." The director of the Propaganda Department said with a smile.

"Yes, Zhuzi, and Cui Dake, you also need to keep an eye on him on the road, but he can still walk on his own." Deputy Director Liu said with a smile.

"No problem. They are all from the same hospital. I promise to send them all home." He Yuzhu patted his chest loudly, and then said, "I'll go over first. There is also a soup that will be served in a while."

After saying that, Sha Zhu went back to the kitchen, served the soup, and asked Ma Hua to bring it up.

After the banquet, Sha Zhu supported Xu Damao, with Cui Dake beside him, and the three of them stumbled towards the courtyard.

Along the way, silly Xu Damao fell down every time he wasn't paying attention. Before he even reached the courtyard, his clothes were already torn.

Finally we arrived at the gate of the courtyard and looked out at the scenery. Wow, half of Xu Damao's face was scratched.

Cui Dake was better, although he just stuttered a little, but he also had a big bump on his forehead.

Sha Zhu first threw Cui Dake into the house, and then pulled Xu Damao to the backyard.

"Knock! Knock knock! Sun Xiaoyan, open the door. Your husband is drunk. I've brought him back to you." Sha Zhu shouted at the door.

"Hey! Here I am." After a while, Sun Xiaoyan came and opened the door wearing a coat.

"Wow! You smell so much of alcohol! How much did you drink?" Sun Xiaoyan said with a look of disgust.

"I don't know how much he drank, but it was not easy for me to hold him and Cui Dake along the way, and he even fell down." Sha Zhu explained. Sha Zhu tried hard to hold back his laughter, fearing that Sun Xiaoyan would notice.

"Come on, I don't know you two yet. I didn't expect you to be able to return to him alive, let alone expect you to be unhurt. Wait until he sobers up tomorrow, then you two can fight again!" Sun Xiaoyan said indifferently.

"Don't say that. Your wife got herself drunk and vomited everywhere. I'm afraid of getting dirty too!" Sha Zhu explained a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, it's okay, I'll just wash him. You should go back and rest early too." Sun Xiaoyan took Xu Damao and went back to the house.
