Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

"Why are you looking for me? I'm just an ordinary propaganda section chief, not a gentleman. You must have the wrong person?" Xu Damao said, pretending to be confused.

Minister Chen stared at Xu Damao for a long time, especially the mustache, and finally confirmed that Xu Damao's mustache was real. It does look different from Mr. Xu. Well, Mr. Xu doesn't have a mustache either.

Minister Chen was a little embarrassed. "Yes, I recognized the wrong person. Comrade, you look and sound a bit like a friend of mine. I'm sorry, Comrade, you can go back first."

Xu Damao stood up, said goodbye to Minister Chen, and returned to his office. He was almost recognized. It would be better to go there less often in the future. He was most afraid of trouble.

Soon, Xu Damao saw from the window that the leaders' motorcade drove out of the steel mill gate. But soon another motorcade of Jiefang trucks drove in, and Xu Damao saw Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai and other level 7 workers all got on the trucks and then drove out of the steel mill gate.

This should be the second batch of level seven workers who have been selected. It seems that it is still difficult to make an industrial mother machine with bare hands, mainly because the precision requirements for key components are too high.

Xu Damao has been busy with the speed bicycle project these days and is so exhausted that he just slacks off until the end of the day.

After get off work, as soon as Xu Damao pushed his bicycle into the yard, he saw someone moving in the front yard. They were the Zhang family who lived in the east hall and a main room.

"Brother Zhang, how are you moving?" Xu Damao stopped the car and handed him a cigarette.

"It's Damao. I've been transferred to work in the Northeast. Everything is ready there, so I have to give up my house too!"

“You didn’t buy this house?”

"No, I got the news that I'm going to be transferred. Why would I buy a house when I'm not here anymore? By the way, I heard that this house has been divided up. I think it belongs to a new welder in the factory named Liang or something."

"Liang Ladi!"

"Yes, that's the name. Why? Damao, do you know this person?"

"I don't know her. I heard her name before when I was on a business trip to the machine repair factory. I saw her from a distance when I went to collect materials for the work-level assessment this time. After all, it's rare to see a female welder at level five."

"Yes, I heard he is a powerful character."

"Okay, Brother Zhang, you go ahead and do your work. I have to go home and cook." Xu Damao pushed the cart directly to the backyard. When he passed the middle yard, he saw Qin Huairu, the laundry lady, washing clothes.

"Brother Damao, you're back so early today!"

As the saying goes, you should never hit a smiling person. Although Xu Damao looked down on her, he had to respond when she started talking to him. "Well, I ride faster than others. Sister-in-law, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go home and cook."

Qin Huairu felt a little lost as she watched Xu Damao's receding back. This Xu Damao had become the section chief. It would have been great if he could also help her family. However, this Xu Damao always kept his distance from her.

The next day was a day off, Xu Damao wanted to visit his wife, and the weather was hot so he wanted to buy an electric fan and visit Yu Shui at school. In order to get into college this year, the girl didn't come back on her days off and was studying hard at school. His own sister let herself go, and she must be dating the police officer at this time!

Xu Damao first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two boxes of biscuits and White Rabbit candies, and then went to Daoxiang Village to buy some snacks before riding his bike to Red Star Middle School. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the security guard as soon as he arrived at the gate.

"what for?"

"Send something to my sister, her name is He Yushui."

"Oh, you are that silly Zhu, right? Wait here for me to call you over. You can only go in after she confirms in person."

Xu Damao was about to explain, but the security guard turned around and left. Isn't it true that this Sha Zhu is so famous that even the security guards in the school know him!

About ten minutes later, the beautiful young girl He Yushui came over. "Brother, you came to see me!"

"Well, I bought some things for you. Can I go in now?" Xu Damao asked.

"Go ahead, but you have to register and the time cannot exceed an hour!" The security guard handed over paper and pen.

Xu Damao signed quickly, but since the security guard made a mistake, he just accepted it, so he wrote He Yuzhu's name.

Rainwater dorm.

As soon as Xu Damao put his things down, Yu Shui couldn't wait to jump into his arms.

Bro, I miss you."

"I miss Xiao Yushui too!"

"How can it be smaller? It has obviously grown a lot bigger recently!"

Xu Damao chuckled, "Then let me measure it and give it a try!"

Yu Shui blushed because of him, "Brother, don't be like this, this is at school."

"Today is Sunday, there are not many people in your school."

"Then hurry up, just one hour."

Xu Damao controlled the time within half an hour and ended the battle on time.

Xu Damao lay on the rain-soaked bed and asked, "How many people live in this room? Can we hide something?"

"There are six people in total, and only three of us are permanent residents, including me. There's a small shared cabinet over there that can hold some things, and the rest is this box I brought with me."

"Then I'll give you something good. Try not to let anyone see you. Eat it secretly. Finish the fruit first. It won't keep well in such a hot day. I see that the weight you've worked so hard to gain is gone again. It's a bit uncomfortable to hold."

Xu Damao waved his hand, and a lot of vacuum-packed unmarked cooked food and some fruits appeared on the bed.

"Ah, how did you know that we had finished the food from last time? But this is too much!"

As the two were talking, the voice of the security guard came from outside the door, "He Yuzhu, the time is up, you should go back quickly."

"Right away, right away." Xu Damao responded and kissed He Yushui a few more times.

"Brother is leaving first. I will come to see you next week."

"Well, I'll wait for you."

Xu Damao left the school under the strange gaze of the security guard. The security guard was a little puzzled. He had seen brothers and sisters with a good relationship, but it was rare to see such a clingy relationship.

After leaving school, Xu Damao went to the department store and soon came out carrying an electric fan. He went to an empty alley, put the things into the space, and went to his father-in-law's house.

Today, Lou Xiao'e did not continue to lie on the sofa, but was walking in the garden. Last time she went to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor looked at Lou Xiao'e's plump body and said that pregnant women should also do some appropriate exercises such as walking, so that childbirth will be smoother.

"Moth, here I come."

"Da Mao, you are done."

"Well, the speed bicycle has been developed, and we decided to pilot it in the factory first. I also made ten samples, but they were all divided up by the leaders. They didn't know that they were semi-finished products. I will make you a good one after the formal production." Xu Damao walked over and supported Lou Xiao'e for a walk.

"Is there anything going on in the courtyard? Does Qiu Nan miss me?"

"I've asked about you several times, asking when you'll be back. Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai have both been transferred away, apparently to take part in some important work. The Zhang family in the courtyard has moved away, and the new resident is Liang Ladi, a new fifth-level welder from the factory."

"Liang Ladi? Was she from a machine repair shop? I think Qiu Nan mentioned this name to me."

"Yes, that Liang Ladi. She is a widow raising four children. I even met her children when I went to the machine repair shop that time."
