Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

That day, after getting off work, Xu Damao went directly to the yard where Zhao Hu was, because he felt that Zhang Long had returned, and he had to go there in person to inquire about the situation.

"Master, you're back." Zhang Long said.

"Well, how was your visit this time? Did you find any information?" Xu Damao asked somewhat uneasily.

"No, I went not only to those two villages according to the address you gave me, but also to all the nearby villages, but I couldn't find the person you were looking for. I'm sorry to disappoint you!" Zhang Long said with some guilt.

"Okay, I just want you to go look for it to put your mind at ease. If you can't find it, forget it. Also, don't call me master in the future. Just call me big brother." Xu Damao said.

In fact, Xu Damao also knew that the chances of finding his relatives in the afterlife were slim, after all, it was not the original world. But as he said, he would feel at ease only after he went to look for them.

"yes, Sir."

"Okay, you should take a good rest first. Huzi will go find a yard or warehouse to rent in the next few days. It doesn't matter whether it's new or old. The only requirement is that it has to be larger, mainly for storing food."

"Okay, big brother, leave it to me."

Xu Damao replenished a lot of supplies, and also stored the antiques he bought from the trust store and the black market last time into the space, and then returned home to hug the child.

After dinner, Lou's mother and Xu's mother went out together to digest the food. Xu's father was not at home because he had the night shift, so the young couple was left in the house to look after the child.

"Ezi, I'm planning to go to Hong Kong tomorrow. Is there anything you want to bring to my father-in-law?" Xu Damao asked.

"Ah! Can I really go? I thought you were fooling me!" Lou Xiao'e said in surprise.

"Of course, do you think I want to drive you to Hong Kong so that I can marry Yu Shui?"

"No, it's just that far. I didn't expect you could actually go."

"This time the factory wants me to get a batch of food, so I'll take this opportunity to go to Hong Kong to visit my father-in-law."

"Wait a minute, I'll go back and write a letter to my dad!" Lou Xiao'e put the child in Xu Damao's arms and went back to write a letter.

Xu Damao coaxed the two children by himself. Fortunately, the children were relatively obedient, otherwise he would be in a mess. But he had to go back to the courtyard in a while to inform the higher-ups so that they could transport food from the port. He wanted to bring more food back.

Not long after, Lou Xiao'e came back with the letter and handed the envelope directly to Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, do you want to talk to mom?"

"Well, just say I'm going on a business trip over there, and ask Mom to write a letter."

"Well, mom just loves her child, otherwise she would have gone to find dad a long time ago."

"What are you two talking about? Where are you going on this business trip?" Xu's mother and Lou's mother walked into the backyard arm in arm, and Xu's mother asked.

"Mom, Damao is going to Hong Kong on a business trip tomorrow. I want to ask my mom if she should write a letter to my dad."

"Ah! Damao? Are you really going on a business trip there?" asked Lou's mother.

"Yes, I'm going there to purchase some machinery, equipment, food, and the like. I'll definitely be able to meet my father-in-law when I have time."

"Okay, okay, then I'll write the letter now." Lou's mother excitedly ran back to her residence to write a letter.

Xu's mother also reminded: "When you see your father-in-law, please say hello to him on our behalf and tell him that everything is fine at home and with the children, so that he doesn't need to worry."

Xu Damao nodded.

This time, it took Lou's mother a long time to write the letter. She didn't come out until half an hour later, and her eyes were a little red, obviously because she had been crying.

"Da Mao, I'm giving the letter to you. You must give it to Old Lou." Lou's mother said as she handed the envelope to Xu Damao.

"Well, Mom, don't worry. I have more time this time. I also need to rent a cargo ship to ship the things back! Then I'll go back to the Siheyuan first. There's a phone number there. I need to contact them to handle the formalities in advance. I also need to send some milk powder to Nan Yi. His wife is about to give birth." Xu Damao said after taking the envelope and putting it away.

"Well, be careful when you go out." Xu's mother warned.

"Okay, I'll drive out later and bring you some things from Hong Kong." Xu Damao went back to the house, got the car keys and went straight out of the yard.

Xu Damao parked his car on the street outside and walked into the alley. The alley was too narrow, parking was too inconvenient, and driving into the alley would definitely cause heated discussions among the people in the courtyard, so there was no need to cause trouble.

Xu Damao picked up the red phone that had not been used since it was installed and dialed directly. This was a one-to-one dedicated line. The other one was in Mr. Zhou's office in xxhai.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

"I'm Xu Damao, I guess you know who I am."

"Haha, of course I know. I've been looking forward to your call."

"Well, this time I mainly want to go to Hong Kong. My father-in-law has contacted a batch of food and equipment. It just so happens that our factory is short of food right now, so I just use this as an excuse to go on a business trip."

"Oh, so what do I need to do?"

"We will arrange personnel and vehicles to go to the Tianjin Port in half a month and wait for the ship to arrive and bring the goods back directly."

"Okay, then I wish you success." Mr. Zhou knew that Xu Damao couldn't have gone out just for some food, but when he thought about the things he had given him before, he understood.

After Xu Damao hung up the phone, he couldn't sleep, so he simply sorted out the last bit of the manuscript. This time he planned to publish it directly in Hong Kong, and then come back with the finished book. The original manuscript still had to be preserved after use.

The next morning, Xu Damao got up, washed up, and knocked on Nan Yi's door carrying two buckets of milk powder.

"Hey, Damao, when did you come back?" Nan Yi asked curiously. If Xu Damao came back early, he would definitely come to drink with him.

"I came back last night, but it was too late so I didn't come. This is the milk powder you asked for!"

"You came just in time, as Qiunan is about to give birth. I'll get you the money, but I really don't have any tickets."

"Forget it, just take care of a few more meals for me."

"That won't work. I happen to have some money right now." Nan Yi took out fifty yuan from the iron box in the drawer and handed it over.

"You gave me too much. How can I eat for free?"

"Just get me two more buckets next time. The meal is almost done. I'll go check it out. We can eat here later."

After the three of them finished their meal, Xu Damao said, "Don't ride your bike today. I parked my bike outside. I plan to go on a business trip today."

"Okay, then I'll take the bus to work today."

"You have to go to work during the day, so don't worry about your sister-in-law being at home alone?"

"My mother-in-law comes to help during the day, and I go back home after get off work in the evening. My father-in-law has not been in good health recently and needs someone to take care of him. All the people in our family died during the war, alas..."

"Today I have to go through the formalities to go on a business trip to get food. It will probably take at least half a month for me to come back. If there is not enough milk powder, go to the yard to ask E Zi for it. I have recently got a lot and put them there." Xu Damao said.

Nan Yi nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely not be polite with you."

The driving speed was quite fast, and the two arrived at the factory soon. Nan Yi went directly to the cafeteria, while Xu Damao had to go to the publicity department and the workshop to explain the work arrangements during his absence.
