Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Xu Damao did not return to the Propaganda Department's office, but went directly to the storage room. Deputy Director Li must have contributed to this matter, otherwise his punishment would not be so light. It seems that he still needs to give some gifts to curry favor with him.

What should I give as a gift? Xu Damao thought about it while opening his system and browsing. Suddenly, he saw a bottle of French Bordeaux red wine for 10 points, and he exchanged for two bottles without hesitation. Red wine is a rare thing, and giving it as a gift is both more face-saving and can show that you have connections. Finally, he spent another points to exchange for a pound of West Lake Longjing and put it in the system warehouse. Xu Damao found that using points to buy supplies is both convenient and fast, but the points are a bit insufficient.

"Xiao Ling, there shouldn't be any problems with the origin and packaging of the materials exchanged from the system, right?" Xu Damao asked in his heart.

"Host, please rest assured. The sources of materials for all systems have been processed, and the packaging will automatically adapt to this era." Xiao Ling replied.

"Is there anything that can cure infertility?"

"Please wait a moment, host. This system will scan your body. Scanning is in progress..."

"Ding, the scan is over. The host has suffered multiple blows to his lower body and has a relatively open private life, which has caused the tadpoles to be inactive and make it difficult for them to reproduce."

"Is there any solution to this?"

"Ding, in view of the major defects of the host's body, legendary items have been unlocked in advance. Please check it yourself."

Xu Damao opened the legendary item and took a look. Wow, there were quite a lot of various things inside, including various elixirs, ancient recipes for treating diseases, martial arts secrets, and a bunch of messy yellow paper talismans.

Xu Damao entered the conditions and started searching, and sure enough, several items popped up: Shaolin Dahuan Dan, which can strengthen the body and treat various physical ailments, priced at 1500 points; Nine Yang Magic Art, which can stimulate the body's potential with yang energy and can use internal force to repair the body and transform it, priced at 3000 points; a potion from a certain world that can optimize genes, greatly improve physical fitness, and automatically adjust the body to a perfect state, priced at points.

Xu Damao was relieved to find that this problem could be cured. As for the points, he would slowly accumulate them. One day he would be able to accumulate them. He thought about it for a while. Suddenly, he heard a burst of exciting music coming from the loud speaker in the factory. This was the signal to get off work.

Xu Damao hurried to the gate of the steel mill, as he had an appointment to eat today. After waiting for a while, when everyone arrived, he headed straight to the state-owned restaurant at the corner of the street.

This time Xu Damao had made a huge investment. Although supplies were still scarce during the three-year natural disaster period, some large state-owned restaurants still had some supplies. Stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised fish, and shredded pork with Beijing sauce filled two large tables.

The crowd ordered a few more bottles of Lianhua Bai, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively, with the sounds of finger-guessing, chatting and telling dirty jokes. More than an hour later, everyone walked out of the restaurant with a full stomach. The bill cost Xu Damao nearly two months' salary plus a lot of food and meat coupons.

Perhaps because of the time travel, Xu Damao's alcohol tolerance increased a lot. This time he was only 50% to 60% drunk. He said hello to everyone, then rode the bicycle provided by the factory and staggered back home.

As soon as Xu Damao entered the courtyard, he did not see the third uncle, the door god, and felt a little strange, so he carried the car in by himself. As soon as he entered the middle courtyard, he saw the famous scene of the Siheyuan General Assembly. There was a broken table with a missing leg on the open space in the middle courtyard. The first uncle Yi Zhonghai sat in the middle, the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui were on the left and right, and a group of people in the courtyard were standing or sitting, loosely forming a large circle.

The third uncle was sharp-eyed and spotted Xu Damao immediately. "Damo is back, just in time for the meeting."

Xu Damao responded, found a step to sit down, took out a cigarette, lit it and started smoking.

At this time, the second uncle Liu Haizhong stood up and said, "Now we are all here. Today's meeting mainly has three things to do. Now, please let our highly respected first uncle speak." After that, he sat down.

Yi Zhonghai, an old man, sat down and said, "Everyone, be quiet. The meeting is about to start. Let me talk about the first thing first. Since the beginning of winter, everyone has basically used honeycomb coal in the stove to keep warm. Yesterday, a family in the street next door died of poisoning because their doors and windows were closed too tightly. The street office issued a notice for us old men to convey this matter. Everyone must pay attention to winter heating safety, leave a gap in the doors and windows to maintain ventilation, and try to avoid this kind of thing from happening."

"The second thing is that Jia Zhang of the Jia family came to me and said that their family couldn't make ends meet. Jia Dongxu was the only one in their family who had a ration. The national situation has been difficult recently, and everyone's ration has been reduced. Even high-priced grain is hard to buy."

"Respecting the old and loving the young, unity and mutual assistance have always been the fine traditions of our compound, so the three of us discussed and decided to raise funds for the Jia family to help them get through this difficult time. This donation is made on a completely voluntary basis. Those who have money can donate money, and those who have strength can donate strength. I'll take the lead and donate ten yuan." After the first uncle said this, he looked at the second uncle next to him.

"Our courtyard has always been a civilized courtyard on the street. I will also take the lead in promoting this style. I will donate five yuan." The second uncle said as he took out five yuan from his pocket and slapped it on the table.

The third uncle took out a dollar with a painful look on his face and put it on the table tremblingly. "Everyone knows that my salary is only 27.5 yuan, and I have to support a big family, so I will donate less."

Everyone in the courtyard was reluctant to donate one pound of corn flour, and my family donated two or three cents. When accumulated, it was quite a lot. Jia Zhang hid behind Jia Dongxu and laughed from ear to ear, but Jia Dongxu looked ashamed.

From what I know, Jia Dongxu is a good person. He is proactive at work and has a good relationship with his colleagues. He also cares for his wife and children at home. He is also sensible in the courtyard, not as bad as described in other fan fictions. He is fully worthy of being the leader of the younger generation of Siheyuan. Jia Dongxu is a bit of a mama's boy, perhaps because his father died early and he was raised by Jia Zhang alone since he was a child.

"Xu Damao, everyone has donated. Your family is well off in our courtyard. How much do you plan to donate?" Jia Zhang said with a licking face.

Xu Damao didn't want to donate at all. Now was not the time to exchange steamed buns for steamed buns, and Jia Dongxu was still alive. But he couldn't think of a reason to refuse for a while. Thinking of the corn flour that had been stored for a long time at home, he said, "Then I will donate five kilograms of corn flour." (The corn flour at that time was not the refined flour of later generations, but the flour made by grinding the whole corn cob, so the voice was hoarse.)

Xu Damao was thinking in his heart, "It's not easy to take advantage of me, Xu Damao. Sooner or later, I will make you pay me back double." Suddenly, his eyes glanced at Aunt Li in the backyard, and a plan came to his mind.
