Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

When Chen Xu woke up, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Looking at his alarm clock set to six o'clock, Chen Xu fell into deep thought.

Because he had an alarm clock, he felt at ease moving the bed into the space to sleep, and then, it became like this now.

Patting his head, Chen Xu seemed to remember that the alarm clock had indeed rung, and it was not just a normal ring. The small hammer in the middle above the alarm clock kept hitting the bell next to it left and right.

But Chen Xu was sleeping soundly at that time, and his first reaction was to turn off the alarm clock, so this space that followed his will was very considerate to turn off the alarm clock, and as a result, when he woke up, it was already afternoon...

He originally wanted to sleep for two hours and then get up to go to the market to buy some lard or fat to make lard.

Moreover, he always felt as if he had forgotten something.

He cleaned himself up and put the bed back on.

Chen Xu was eating a steamed bun while looking at the sky outside. Suddenly, he looked at the steamed bun that he had taken a few bites of, and finally remembered what he had forgotten.

Xu Damao seems to be waiting for him to deliver food...

Patting his forehead, Chen Xu reluctantly got up and went out. There happened to be a few roasted sparrows left over from yesterday, plus two steamed buns, which should be enough for Xu Damao to eat.

Half an hour later.

Xu Damao, who was lying on the bed, almost burst into tears when he saw Chen Xu coming over with a lunch box.

"Brother, I thought you forgot about me..."

"No way, I ran a long way to get some good stuff, and brought it to you to replenish you."

Naturally, Chen Xu would not say that he really forgot.

Xu Damao was a little surprised. He thought Chen Xu would bring him a lunch box directly from the steel mill, but he didn't expect that he had specially prepared it.

Looking at a few nicely roasted sparrows and two big steamed buns, Xu Damao was very satisfied. This food was much better than that in the canteen of the steel rolling mill. If he really brought him food from the canteen, it would probably be just radishes and cabbages.

Looking at Xu Damao wolfing down his food, Chen Xu felt a sense of guilt. Was this kid really hungry? He should have brought out an extra bun earlier...

"Where did your parents go to get the remedy from you?"

Chen Xu began to ask questions. He didn't really believe that Father Xu was really going there to get some folk remedies.

Xu Damao didn't even raise his head. He spoke incoherently while chewing a sparrow.

"I don't know either. They just told me to be out for a few days and stay in the hospital..."

Chen Xu didn't know what to say for a moment, but Lao Xu was alert and didn't even reveal anything to Xu Damao.

However, Chen Xu looked at Xu Damao who was eating happily and felt that this guy looked as if nothing had happened. He actually admired his magnanimity. If it were someone else, he would have been trying to kill himself.

"When can you be discharged from the hospital?"

Xu Damao paused for a moment, raised his head to look outside, and said mysteriously.

"Anytime is fine, but I plan to wait until that bastard Shazhu goes in before I leave the hospital..."

Xu Damao, who had acted as if nothing had happened just now, immediately gritted his teeth when he mentioned Sha Zhu, and bit the sparrow viciously, as if he was not chewing the sparrow, but Sha Zhu's flesh.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

After hearing what Chen Xu said, Xu Damao stopped what he was doing, was silent for a moment, put down the sparrow in his hand, and sighed helplessly.

"In fact, I really didn't want to live at first. What's the point of living if I'm already a eunuch? But then I thought it through. What you said the other day was right. If it's discovered earlier, it might still be possible to cure it. The doctor also said that if it's not discovered now and it's delayed for a few years, there will really be no hope at all."

Chen Xu nodded slightly. He thought so too. It was five years earlier than when the story began, so it might be possible to cure it.

Xu Damao changed the subject and his expression became ferocious.

"I will never let that bastard Shazhu go. Even if I can't execute him, he will have to stay in jail. Besides that, I have to make him bankrupt. Otherwise, I won't be able to swallow this anger."

Looking at the angry Xu Damao, Chen Xu understood his current mood very well. If it were him, Sha Zhu would probably have been graved with grass.

"Okay, just do as you see fit."

Chen Xu felt that Xu Damao was not wrong. He had been turned into a eunuch, so nothing he did was excessive.

After chatting with Xu Damao for a few words, Chen Xu left. He had to go to the steel rolling mill. If he didn't go to the countryside, he had to show his face.

Not long after walking out of Xu Damao's ward, I saw an acquaintance, Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu also saw Chen Xu.

"Why are you here?"

"none of your business."

Chen Xu ignored him and just left.

Jia Dongxu looked at Chen Xu who was leaving and was shaking with anger. This bastard was increasingly looking down on him.

Chen Xu didn't want to bother with this guy. Having tricked him yesterday was considered to be a settlement of their previous grudges, but it didn't mean that he would have a good face towards Jia Dongxu. Anyway, their relationship was like this, so there was no need to pretend.

It was actually Chen Xu's fault that Jia Dongxu came to the hospital. He kicked the wall last night. It didn't feel serious at the time, but in the morning he could only walk with difficulty.

After working half a day in the factory, Jia Dongxu felt his toes becoming more and more painful. He took off his shoes and socks and took a breath.

Not only was the big toe severely swollen, but the front part had turned black. Jia Dongxu panicked and took half a day off and rushed to the hospital. Unexpectedly, he met Chen Xu.

"Doctor, doctor, please help me..."

Chen Xu listened to Jia Dongxu shouting in the back and was a little curious about what happened to this guy. Was he about to be hanged on the wall?

But this doesn't make sense. He remembered that this thing was hung on the wall in 1961, which is almost a year ago. Moreover, this thing must have fallen off in an accident in the factory.

Chen Xu felt that the time didn't match when he thought about it casually, but he didn't care. It was normal for reality to be a little different from movies and TV shows. Maybe Jia Dongxu was dead.

Jia Dongxu, who was still communicating with the doctor, naturally didn't expect that someone thought he was going to die. When the doctor pressed his toes, he immediately started howling like a ghost.

Purchasing Department.

Looking at Chen Xu who came back empty-handed, the recorder asked with a smile.

"Why are you back at this time?"

Chen Xu also spoke without hesitation.

"Don't mention it. I spent a whole day in Pigeon City and there was nothing but vegetables."

"The pigeon market is like this. If you're unlucky, you won't get anything if you wait all day. You'd better not go. Anyway, you can get some game in your hometown. If you have time, just go to the countryside a few more times. There's no need to be like other buyers."

Chen Xu nodded slightly to indicate that you are right.

In my mind, I was thinking, why the hell was he squatting in the pigeon market? He was just looking for an excuse. He couldn't say that he overslept and got up in the afternoon.

The purchasing department was very quiet. Everyone else should have gone out to look for supplies. Chen Xu didn't care. He planned to stay there for another two hours and get his lunch in the cafeteria before going back.

Conditions are not that good right now, so save on cheap items.

There are ways to live if you are rich, and there are ways to live if you are poor. Chen Xu is open-minded about this.
