Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

Chapter 163 Xu Wood with a Bad Conscience

This time at the family dinner, they drank Maotai liquor, which was brought by the guard next to Shadan.

Not only good wine but also good cigarettes.

These are daily necessities distributed to important leaders.

Speaking of Moutai, it is actually the psychological effect of a fool. In his previous life, he couldn't afford Moutai because it was too expensive.

I just want to give this as a gift and try it with my family.

In fact, the best liquors at this time are Xifeng Liquor and Wuliangye.

50 years ago, Xifeng Liquor had a prominent status, even higher than Moutai and Wuliangye, and on par with Fenjiu, mainly because Xifeng Liquor has a long brewing history and profound cultural heritage.

Xifeng Liquor is produced in Shaanxi Province and was called "Qin Liquor" in ancient times. It has a history of more than 3000 years. It is not only Shaanxi's "ace" liquor, but also one of China's "Four Famous Liquors".

But in the army, Wuliangye is the standard of this era.

As for Moutai, some say it became famous after the fall, while others say it became famous because leaders later took a fancy to the taste of Moutai.

In short, there are different opinions, but I think it still comes down to marketing methods.

China has a wine culture of thousands of years, and there are several kinds of wine. Why did Moutai become the special-supply wine of the future? We have to go back to 1964, because there was a store called the Special-Supply Store.

Moutai became a regular customer of this store, and at that time, old brands of liquor were not on the counter and there was no capacity.

In comparison, Moutai stands out.

This family dinner was a complete success. The only flaw was that Mingyue and the child were not brought along.

Zhang Guilan took Shadan's hand and said that she must bring Mingyue and the child the next day to have a reunion dinner together.

The fool could only agree.

The next morning, he brought Mingyue and the two children from home to reunite.

Lin Jiefang was going to school, so he said goodbye to his two friends reluctantly.

Since He Zhenbang and Minglou have learned very well, it is no problem for them to miss one or two days of classes.

Lin Jiefang was not so good, he had to start from scratch.

Logically speaking, his family should have taught him about his studies, but unfortunately, the family was often harassed at that time and there was no quiet environment, so they had to give up.

Besides, at that time, his family had trouble even getting enough food, so how could they concentrate on studying?

I thought this would be it for the rest of my life.

The eldest and second sisters naturally went to work. After all, they couldn't be like Mingyue who worked for three days and rested for two days.

This was the first time the family was reunited, and it shocked everyone in the courtyard.

Especially with the arrival of Shadan, all the people who had jobs asked for leave today.

Even Xu Damao, who had been going to the countryside to show movies, took a day off so that he could think about other people in the theater.

Right in the middle courtyard, just like the three uncles were having a meeting, they were all holding small stools and surrounding Shadan in three layers.

It was as if he was holding a symposium.

It feels like the atmosphere is a bit silent, with only idiots talking and others listening.

In fact, everyone just came here to make themselves known.

After all, many people in the hospital have become successful with the help of Zhang Guilan.

These people wanted to go a step further, at least to test Shadan's style of doing things.

So they can continue serving the dishes.

But after chatting for a long time, Shadan kept a dignified posture and only smiled when he saw the children.

He Zhenbang, Minglou and He Yuzhu's child He Aiguo became the center of attention of all the friends. Like their father, they also showed their majestic side.

It was not possible to be dignified, so He Zhenbang brought all the cats and dogs with him this time. Those children who hated dogs and their age really used all their strength to kill them, pulling the cats and dogs so hard that they kept screaming, as if they were in pain.

He Zhenbang treats his cats and dogs as his own family members, so he was naturally unwilling to do so and kept a stern face throughout.

Minglou also has to learn from his older brother. He has grown up during this period and has developed feelings for the cats and dogs at home.

It’s heartbreaking to see other people’s children unconsciously bullying your own cats and dogs!

Liu Guangqi was the only one in the hospital who looked like a cadre, but Shadan felt that he was a little too arrogant when he saw him for the first time.

He looked down on his father, Comrade Liu Haizhong, from the bottom of his heart.

After all, Liu Haizhong only has primary school education, and he doesn't know what he learned in primary and secondary schools.

The key point is that his father always acts like he is a leader, which really arouses other people's disgust.

But this is not a reason for children of their own family to dislike their father.

Zhang Guilan did not do well in some aspects of her work, but her son, Comrade Shadan, never said anything and only helped her make up for her mistakes.

Just at this moment, Zhang Guilan blew the whistle, which meant that it was time to exterminate rats.

They set the schedule without regard to the occasion or reason, and it doesn't work even if everyone in the courtyard is there to see their son.

This is why Zhang Guilan is wholeheartedly serving the people and does not distinguish between superiors and subordinates.

This will easily offend many leaders.

But fortunately, she has the sky above her head to support her, and no one dares to say anything.

When Shadan heard about this, he naturally stood up to support his mother.

This is also why Zhang Guilan became a household name in the neighborhood as a good cadre.

She has really achieved results and is really prestigious!

Every household took out tools and started the rat extermination operation. Shadan and the family of four next door also participated.

He Zhenbang also brought his cats and dogs to participate in the rat extermination.

People often say that it is normal for cats to catch mice, but it is nosy for dogs to catch rats.

But his dogs were really good at catching mice, especially his two big yellow dogs. In a short while, their mouths were full of mice and they ran to He Zhenbang to take credit.

No matter whether it is disgusting or not, He Zhenbang is very happy anyway.

First, the mice were put into a cage, and then they were rewarded with a big white flour bun.

The neighbors on both sides were very jealous.

Although grain production increased due to the success of potash fertilizer, cadres in some places did not take action and made inaccurate reports, resulting in less and less grain left in the hands of farmers.

This also created the illusion of a reduction in grain production, so the country began to tighten its belt.

The price of food has increased by 50 percent compared to before, which is unimaginable. Generally, countries only allow an increase of 10 percent, but a sudden increase of 50 percent means that the country is in trouble.

Now, due to conflicts and differences with Big Brother, we have parted ways and will have to repay the debt next year.

So the situation of tightening one's belt and tightening one's belt began.

Farmers had less food, and naturally there was less food in towns as well.

In addition, food is now distributed in a rationed manner, and some families with more children are starting to not have enough to eat.

Suddenly seeing He Zhenbang feeding the dog with big steamed buns inevitably attracted strange looks from others.

Shadan also saw that, through getting to know each other over the past two days, He Zhenbang was simply too good to his cats and dogs.

He would rather starve than not feed these cats and dogs. It hurts his head just looking at these idiots.

"This child, isn't this a perfect saintly heart?"

In times of chaos, the Virgin Mary should be killed. This is a true saying.

But for my own son, I can just shout slogans, but I can't really do it.

But how can I correct my child’s wrong thinking? Fortunately, I have a systematic farm and solved this problem.

Since all members of the special forces were demobilized and went to local areas to contribute to local construction, it also relieved a lot of pressure on Comrade Shadan.

The farm system was also liberated.

Comrade Shadan was worried that he had no place to use his talents, but he didn't expect that his son would give him this difficult problem.

I watched my son do whatever he wanted in silence.

They now have eight big dogs and two big cats in their home, which are the treasures of their two children.

The kittens have all been given away. There’s nothing we can do about it. This was done by Mingyue and has nothing to do with Shadan.

After Shadan came back, he solved the problem of the two children feeding the dog and cat.

Now, the two children are very attached to Silly Dan, just to give food to the cat and dog.

Now we can kill rats with mousetraps and cages, but they both require food as bait. Every household was reluctant to give out food, so Comrade Shadan took the initiative and donated some food, which helped to appease the people.

When it was time for lunch, Comrade Shadan even brought two pigs and slaughtered and ate them on the spot.

While eating, Xu Damao looked at the fragrant pork on the table and turned to ask his father: "It's good to be a leader. You can get two pigs with just a wave of your hand. It's really enviable!"

Xu Wood ate pork with big mouthfuls while looking ahead with a twinkling gaze, as if thinking about something. His gaze slowly turned to Comrade Shadan who was being praised by everyone, and his eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

After a while, Xu Wude suddenly said to Xu Damao, "Son, tell me, do we have any evidence against these leaders? Otherwise, why would they treat us to pork for no reason?"

Xu Damao was stunned when he heard this, then asked in confusion: "Handle? Are you talking about the matter of Shadan's child's dog eating food?"

Xu Wood nodded and continued, "The country's food supply is very tight right now, and they have started to implement rationing."

Xu Damao was still a little puzzled, and continued to ask: "Dad, how can you associate this incident with the country's food shortage? Why didn't I see it?"

Xu Wude smiled, patted Xu Damao on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "This is the wisdom of the elders. Boy, you are still young, you need to learn more!"

After listening to his father's words, Xu Damao nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood the reason.

However, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart: Although I ate delicious pork today, if I offend Comrade Shadan because of this, the consequences will be disastrous...

"Dad, let's just pretend we didn't see this kind of groundless rumor. Don't worry about it. Why bother yourself with it?" Xu Damao advised his father earnestly.

"Who said it was just hearsay? His child fed the dog with food. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. Is there any need to make up stories?"
