Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

In the reception room of the second canteen, Li Huaide and several other factory leaders were drinking and chatting. Xu Damao pushed the door open and said, "Director Li, I heard that you are entertaining guests here. I came to see if there is anything I can help you with."

Li Huaide looked at Xu Damao's attentiveness and felt a little amused. Fortunately, the people he entertained today were just ordinary leaders from ordinary units. If the matter involved his own private matters, Xu Damao would be flattering him. However, he did not remind the other party, but asked him to sit down and help entertain the guests.

Xu Damao was in a good mood. He thought that Director Li valued him because he could sit at the table. He was determined to drink as much as he could to entertain the guests. So the famous "one big and three small" came on the stage. Xu Damao kept saying "I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want". He drank one cup after another. People who didn't know him thought he was just drinking to satisfy his addiction. But after more than a dozen cups, Xu Damao began to stagger. The way he drank the wine in the glass at the beginning scared the leaders of other factories. At this time, the leaders of the alcohol battlefield looked at each other and laughed. Especially Li Huaide, he thought Xu Damao was very interesting.

At this time, Sha Zhu came in. Xu Damao didn't know what was wrong with him and said, "Sha Zhu, how can a cook like you enter this reception room? Don't you know your identity?"

Sha Zhu looked at Li Huaide and said, "How much did Section Chief Xu drink to get so drunk?"

"He drank a lot, one big and three small, about ten cups in total." Li Huaide picked up the three-cent cup in front of him.

Sha Zhu patted Xu Damao and said, "If you can't drink, don't try to be brave. You've already become like this after drinking just 4 taels."

What Xu Damao hated most was being belittled by Sha Zhu. He picked up the bottle and said, "Who said I can't drink? This is half a bottle. Look carefully."

"Yes, that's right, it's half a bottle, and it's still clanging." Sha Zhu took the opportunity to tease.

Xu Damao was drunk and didn't understand what Sha Zhu meant. He continued, "Look, I'll finish it in one go and make you convinced."

"Okay, go ahead and do it. As long as you don't get drunk, I'll obey you." Sha Zhu said to Xu Damao who was standing unsteadily.

The people around noticed that the two seemed to have some conflicts, and quickly spoke up to dissuade Xu Damao, "Chief Xu, you are drunk, stop drinking."

Li Huaide was not in a position to interfere in the affairs of the two. He wanted to make both Sha Zhu and Xu Damao his people. If his subordinates wanted to fight, let them fight. They were not united and needed him to mediate, otherwise he would be in danger.

Xu Damao was confused and saw that Li Huaide did not stop him, so he thought that the other party wanted to test his strength, so he tilted his head back and started to drink. In one breath, half a bottle of Fenjiu went down. Xu Damao tried hard to suppress the burning feeling in his stomach, forced himself to be strong, shook his head and said: "Silly... Zhu, what... is going on, am I... good?" After saying that, he was about to vomit.

Sha Zhu was quick-witted and pressed him into the corner. Xu Damao sprayed with all his might, and the room was instantly filled with a foul odor. Sha Zhu hurriedly opened the windows and doors to get some fresh air.

Li Huaide bowed to the other leaders apologetically and said, "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. I made you laugh at me. This guy just came up and doesn't know much yet."

"No, no, it's very good. We are very satisfied with Director Li's hospitality. Chief Xu is also a wonderful person and very interesting. We have almost finished eating. Why don't we leave first so that Chief Xu can go back and have a good rest." A leader said sympathetically.

Li Huaide naturally did not object and left with a few people.

Of course Sha Zhu didn't care about Xu Damao. He told the people in the cafeteria to clean up, lock the door, and go home quickly, and then he left.

Xu Damao vomited violently in the reception room, then collapsed to the floor and fell asleep.

Ma Hua and two odd jobs came into the reception room, cleared the dishes, wiped the table, and without paying any attention to Xu Damao lying on the ground, they closed the door and left work.

Lao Li, Brother Wang and the other two were standing at the factory gate, watching Sha Zhu, Ma Hua and the others leave after get off work. They waited for a long time but did not see Xu Damao come out.

"Xiao Liu, are you sure Xu Damao went to the second canteen?" Old Li asked again.

"Brother Li, this is the 32nd time you've asked me this question. I saw him enter the Second Canteen with my own eyes. I'm very sure."

"Then why hasn't he come out yet? Everyone in the cafeteria has gone home from get off work. Could it be that he is sleeping in the cafeteria?"

"How is that possible? Would the people in the cafeteria trust him? I guess he was drunk and went back to the Propaganda Department to sober up."

Brother Wang suggested: "Let's wait for a while. If he doesn't come out in half an hour, we'll go back. It's too cold today. It's not worth it to get sick just to wait for him."

"Okay, listen to Brother Wang." Old Li stamped his feet and said, "It's really cold. That bastard is eating and drinking well in there, but we three brothers are working hard. We have to beat him up when we see him later, otherwise we will be freezing in vain."

"Yeah." The other two nodded.

The next morning, Xu Damao got up from the ground trembling all over and sneezing continuously. Seeing his clothes covered with all kinds of filth, he felt so sick that he wanted to vomit. He wanted to take off his clothes, but the warm temperature in the room made him wrap himself tightly despite the nausea.

Xu Damao wanted to open the door, but it was locked from the outside. He kicked the door a few times, but because he was too weak, the door did not respond. He had to close the window and stamp his feet to keep warm, waiting for someone outside to open the door.

After finally hearing some noise outside the house, Xu Damao knocked hard on the door.

Someone outside the house asked, "Why is there someone in the house? Who was the last one to leave yesterday?"

"There was a reception yesterday, and Team Leader Ma should have been the last to leave. He hasn't come yet. According to the director's rules, he worked overtime last night, so he can come to work later today."

The two men were talking as they opened the door. When Xu Damao saw the door open, he felt that he was in good shape again and started to curse: "You bastards, how dare you lock me in the room and leave me frozen all night with the window open. Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you."

The fat man who opened the door saw that the man opposite him was dirty and was about to rush out, so he kicked him out reflexively and kicked Xu Damao back into the house. When he heard the other party say that he would deal with him, he locked the door again and asked the person next to him: "Did you see anything just now?"

The man was also smart and replied, "No, there is nothing in the room."

Xu Damao got up from the ground in a rage, banged on the door desperately, and shouted, "Open the door for me, you bastards, open the door quickly, I'm freezing to death."

No one answered and no one came to open the door. Xu Damao clapped his hands for a long time, figured it out, and shouted again: "I was wrong, uncles and uncles outside, please help open the door, have mercy on me, I'm almost frozen to death, if I really freeze to death, you will also have to eat the leftovers. Please, please be kind and open the door."

The fat man heard Xu Damao's pitiful cries inside and didn't want to make too much noise, so he asked from outside: "Tell me, how did you end up in the kitchen?"
