Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Early the next morning, after a simple breakfast, Xu Damao went out with two briefcases containing money, household registration books and other documents, including Yu Shui's household registration book. It would be too conspicuous if all three houses were transferred to his name, so giving one to Yu Shui would just help share the pressure.

Xu Damao quickly arrived at the door of the Housing Authority. At this time, they had not officially started work yet, but some staff members had come to work. Niu Ye and others had not arrived yet, but at this time, many people were already queuing up, so Xu Damao hurried over to queue up.

After a while, Niu Ye came over with three people and saw Xu Damao in the team at a glance, so he led the three people over and said, "Sorry, sorry, it took some time for the three of us to get together."

"It's okay. Even if you arrive early, you still have to queue up." Xu Damao waved his hand indifferently.

The five people gathered together to chat, and suddenly Xu Damao saw an acquaintance walking in. He couldn't help but waved excitedly, "Brother Wu, Brother Wu."

The man heard someone calling him to stop and looked at Xu Damao carefully.

"Hey, Brother Damao, why are you here? Why don't you come directly to me, your brother?" It turned out that the man was Zhao Xuan's husband Wu Qingfeng, the new deputy director of the Housing Authority. During the Chinese New Year, Xu Damao visited his home and had a meal. He also gave a ginseng to Wu Qingfeng's mother for health supplement.

"I didn't expect that you were transferred here! Otherwise, I would have come to find you a long time ago." Xu Damao said.

"Come with me to my office and talk." Wu Qingfeng said with a smile, and then led a few people to his office.

Niu Ye and the others looked at each other and hurriedly followed. When they saw the deputy director's sign hanging on the door of the office, they couldn't help but smack their lips in amazement. This brother Xu has a wide network of contacts. He even knows the deputy director and seems very familiar with him.

After everyone sat down, Wu Qingfeng poured a glass of water for them and then asked, "Brother Damao, are you here to handle the property transfer this time?

"I am responding to the country's call. I have some spare money, so I am planning to buy two houses. Another one is for my neighbor. She didn't come in person, but she brought her ID and power of attorney. Can this be done?"

"There will be no problem if all the formalities are complete. It's almost time, so I'll take you there to get things done!" After Wu Qingfeng said this, he led everyone to the office that specifically handles transfers.

"Hey, Director Wu, why are you here?"

"This is my brother. Please help me take care of his business before we start working." Wu Qingfeng said to Xu Damao, "Brother Damao, I have to go to work first, too."

"Brother, go ahead. I'll come find you for a while after I finish this."

"Okay, have you brought your household registration book, real estate certificate, land deed and so on?" asked the clerk.

"I have it with me." Xu Damao rummaged through his bag, took out various documents and handed them over.

The three sellers also handed over various documents.

"Wow, did you buy all three courtyards?" asked the clerk.

"These two are mine. This one was asked by another girl to handle for me. Here is her power of attorney."

The clerk carefully checked the various documents and completed the transfer procedures very quickly.

After Xu Damao received the new property certificate and his household registration book, he went to Wu Qingfeng's office to chat for a while, thanked him and gave him two lighters before strolling out. Niu Ye was waiting at the door with his men. The three people were afraid that Xu Damao would suddenly run away. If Niu Ye hadn't kept saying that he would guarantee it, the three people might have rushed in to find Xu Damao.

"Let's find a quiet place to sit and I'll pay you the money at the same time," said Xu Damao.

Uncle Niu pointed to a small alley ahead and said, "Let's go over there. There aren't many people there at this time."

Several people walked towards that direction together. After entering the alley, Xu Damao began to take out money from his briefcase. "Uncle Ma, go first, so there won't be any confusion."

Several people nodded to show that they had no objection. After Xu Damao finished counting, he handed it to Niu Ye to count again, and finally gave it to Uncle Ma. Uncle Ma also counted it and nodded to show that there was no problem.

"This is the key to the gate. I'll go back first and take some necessities with me today. You can take over the yard tomorrow." Uncle Ma said.

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work."

Afterwards, several people did the same thing, and the two sellers also handed in the keys and left with the money.

"Here, Uncle Niu, this is your hard work fee." Xu Damao took out ten big black coins and some grain coupons and meat coupons from his bag and handed them over.

"This is too much. We have to follow the rules!"

"Okay, Master Niu, it's thanks to you that I was able to buy such a nice house this time. This is to thank you, but I still need to trouble you to keep an eye on the yard and shops for me."

"Okay, you are the most generous young man from Old Sijiu City that I have ever met. I will accept your kindness and buy you a drink next time."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I still have to go to the trust store."

Xu Damao went to the trust store again and took note of the address. Then he decided to go and spend the afternoon with his wife Lou Xiao'e.

The young couple spent the whole afternoon together, and Xu Damao also mentioned that he had bought three yards, one of which was given to Yu Shui.

After listening to this, Lou Xiao'e didn't have any objections and asked, "We still have a lot of yards and shops left at home, but many of them are rented out. How about I just ask my dad to come over?"

"That's different. I bought it with my own money. Let your father-in-law deal with it himself."

The next day, Xu Damao was late for work. He had forgotten that he was at Lou's house and not the courtyard house. He got up late in the morning. Fortunately, no one discovered him, otherwise he would have been embarrassed.

As soon as Xu Damao arrived at his office, he heard the loud speaker. This time, the list of senior workers was broadcast. Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai from the hospital were on the list. Fortunately, they were in the second batch and would leave a few days later. In fact, this was just a temporary transfer, and the people did not have to leave the city. They were just concentrated and closed for a while to seek technical breakthroughs.

At noon, a lot of Jiefang trucks came to the factory to take people away. Xu Damao was also in the farewell team headed by Li Huaide, the new factory director.

Li Huaide looked at the workshop directors with bitter faces and felt a little worried. With so many senior workers being transferred at once, the tasks in the factory will be difficult! Please don't give us any more urgent tasks.

Li Huaide winked at Wang Jinshan and Xu Damao, then waved his hand and asked everyone to disperse.

The three of them walked on the cement road in the factory, and no one spoke first. You two are both factory leaders, Xu Damao will not be the first to speak up.

In the end, it was Li Huaide who spoke first. "Lao Wang, I know the pressure on logistics is quite high, but you still have to work harder and try to get more unplanned supplies to ensure that the workers can have enough to eat. Don't let any accidents happen again because the workers don't have enough to eat."

"Director, it's not that I don't work hard. We need to exchange for materials that are not planned. Nowadays, no one likes to exchange with money. They prefer barter. Our factory basically processes steel products, and many places don't need them!"

Li Huaide used to be the logistics director, so he was quite familiar with the situation. A steel rolling mill is not a meat processing plant or something like that. Their products are indeed not popular, and it often takes several exchanges to get the desired materials.

Li Huaide looked at Xu Damao who was standing beside him, "Damo, you have a quick mind, do you have any good ideas?"
