Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Xu Damao acted quickly and asked Dahu to go to the video room to keep an eye on it the next day.

I also started renting an office and preparing the formalities. In just over a week, the company was in place.

The second uncle was responsible for getting the rebar orders from Director Lan of the third factory. Xu Damao was responsible for going out to do business. In more than half a month, he got several orders. The three of them made a lot of money together.

Gradually, Xu Damao handed over the video hall to Dahu to run, and Dahu had no choice but to resign.

He Daqing and Liu Yaohui now often play chess in the backyard, and sometimes Yi Zhonghai will join in to play a few games.

However, the second and third uncles were out every day, and they came back in style. The three of them didn't want to listen to the two uncles bragging.

In fact, everyone knows that they have made money recently, and they may have made a lot of money, but everyone always thinks this kind of business is unreliable. The money comes too easily.

That night, Liu Qingshan came back a little late. When he got home, Liu's father was still sitting in the yard. He came over when he saw Liu Qingshan.

"Qingshan, you're back! Dad has something to ask you!" Father Liu said with a smile.

"You're being too polite to me. If you have something to say, just tell me!"

"Recently, the second uncle and the third uncle Xu Damao set up a building materials company together. I heard that they were dealing in permits. Wow, I heard that they made a lot of money during this period! This shouldn't be illegal, right?" Father Liu said exaggeratedly.

"Dad, how do you know they are reselling the permits? You can't talk about this casually!" Liu Qingshan was a little confused. Reselling permits is illegal, so why are these people talking about it everywhere?

"Hey! We didn't want to know either. We were playing chess that day, and the second uncle came over to brag to us. Wow, he almost ignored everyone. When we were talking about Yi Zhonghai that day, he even started calling him by his first name. In the past, he should have called him Old Yi anyway!"

Father Liu curled his lips and said with a sigh.

Liu Qingshan almost laughed out loud when he heard this. This second uncle is indeed a person who likes to show off. If he has achieved something, everyone in the hospital will know about it.

"Reselling the approval slips is definitely illegal. How can such a lucrative business be so simple? Let's not get involved and just pretend we don't know!"

Liu Qingshan didn't think of reporting it, after all, they lived in the same courtyard. If he did, they would become enemies. And with their personalities, this business probably wouldn't last long.

"What a boast! You don't know, right now those guys in the yard are just about to look down on people, they are so arrogant!"

"Don't bother with them. Our current conditions are not bad. If we move to that courtyard house, it will definitely surprise them!"

"Forget it. We're used to living here. If you really want to move, then you can move there first. Your mom and I will need someone to take care of you, and then we can move."

Father Liu has lived in this courtyard for decades, married and had children here, and spent most of his life here, so he really has feelings for it. And now the house is in good condition, so he really doesn't want to move out.

A few days later, Xu Damao and his second and third uncles went to He's Restaurant together.

I don’t know if they made money or wanted to show off in front of Sha Zhu, but the three of them ordered a large table of dishes.

That day, Liu Qingshan went to the steel mill for work. In the evening, several leaders of the steel mill invited Liu Qingshan to have dinner at Heji Restaurant.

Since it was a last minute decision and there weren't many people, we went to a small private room, ordered a few dishes, and drank and reminisced.

Just as they were chatting excitedly, Xu Damao's signature duck voice came from outside the door. "Give me the whole big room, clean it up. Bring me all the good wine and food, I'm not short of money!"

Director Yang frowned, looking slightly displeased.

Deputy Director Qin seemed to have heard it. He looked at Liu Qingshan in confusion and asked, "This voice sounds familiar. Is it the projectionist from our factory? The one who was later transferred away?"

"Now that you mention it, I remember it again. This grandson was very good at playing tricks on people back then. He was full of bad intentions." Director Yang also remembered it and said angrily.

"It was him. He was too ambitious at the time and wanted to get rid of Director Zhou and take over himself. But he was defeated and transferred to the Fifth Workers' Cinema! He also opened a video hall a while ago. Now he has partnered with someone to open a building materials company. He is quite capable!"

Liu Qingshan felt that regardless of his character, Xu Damao was quite capable.

"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. I get angry when I mention him." Director Yang was tormented a lot by Xu Damao when he was criticized and struggled against, and he still hates this man now.

"Zhu's craftsmanship is getting better and better. You shouldn't have let him go. Now there's no one to attend the factory's dinner party." Deputy Director Qin looked at Director Yang and complained.

"What you said, can't you let him go? You know Shazhu's bad temper. He dares to quit your job directly!" Director Yang said with a smile.

At this moment, Sha Zhu and his wife walked in together, with Sha Zhu holding a dish in his hand.

"Were you talking about me just now? My ears have been feeling itchy all the way here!" Sha Zhu said with a grin.

"Why didn't you say anything? I just said that I shouldn't let you go. Now there is no one in the factory who can prepare the banquet." Deputy Director Qin joked with a smile.

"Blame me, blame me. I'm here to apologize. You all ordered dishes today, and I'll add some soup for the leaders!" Sha Zhu said with a smile.

Liu Qingshan looked at the bowl of chicken soup on the table, feeling inexplicably strange.

"There are so many people here today, and we're sorry for the poor hospitality. Please forgive me, leaders!" Tian Xiuyun also greeted them.

"We are all family, there is no need to be so formal. Sit down and have a drink together!" Director Yang took a wine glass and poured it directly.

"Director, I'm still busy in the kitchen. I'd like to borrow your wine to toast you. I'll come over when I'm done!"

It was meal time, and the kitchen couldn't do without him. It was the limit for him to come out and serve a dish and have a glass of wine.

"Brother Zhuzi, was the person shouting outside just now Xu Damao? From what I could hear, there was no one else." Liu Qingshan asked with a smile.

"Who else could it be but him? He came here with the second uncle and the third uncle. Wow, the three of them ordered seven or eight dishes and even brought a bottle of Moutai. They are really good at showing off!" Sha Zhu really couldn't stand these people.

In the private room next door, Xu Damao is pouring wine for the second uncle!

The second uncle's face was already red before he had even had a few drinks.

"How about Shazhu's restaurant? Even though we have money, he still has to serve us." Xu Damao said proudly.

"You know what, this is my first time coming to this restaurant. This Shazhu's restaurant is doing great! Business is really booming!" The third uncle looked around curiously and was a little surprised.

"How can it be compared with our business? The money earned is still small. The decoration, furniture, labor and ingredients of his restaurant are all free. Now the couple don't even have time to come home, what's the point of earning that little money!"
