Siheyuan: My Golden Finger is updated weekly

At this moment, Maixiang Village is bustling with activity.

If you don’t know, you might think it’s someone’s wedding or funeral.

Many people were helping out, some were moving tables and placing benches, some were helping out with washing vegetables. It was a lively scene.

"It seems that I have never been able to eat enough in my life. Will I finally be able to eat enough again?" a thin man sighed.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Look at how hopeless you are."

"Haha, yes, Comrade Li Meng treated us to a meal. We spent all the 200 yuan. Isn't it enough for you to have a full meal?"

"Come to think of it, I haven't had a full meal in a long time."

"..."

A group of people gathered together to chat, and all they talked about was food.

The meal is not ready yet, but I can't help but salivate.

For them, nothing is more important than having enough food to eat.

Cui Dake, Xu Damao and others have been resting since they came back from shopping.

Also chatting in the crowd.

Qiao Yue asked, "Comrade, what do you do in the city? Are you a great engineer like Comrade Li Meng?"

Xu Damao waved his hand and said, "Hey, I'm not an engineer. I don't have that ability. I'm just a small leader in the factory's publicity department."

"The leader of the Propaganda Department, that's not small at all." Qiao Yue said in surprise.

Then I asked Cui Dake the same question.

Cui Dake said with a smile: "I am just a purchaser for the cafeteria, not worth mentioning."

Xu Damao said: "Dake, you are now a section chief after all, and you are still so low-key."

"Oh, if a brick is thrown into the city, I don't know how many officials will be knocked down. What's the use of a section chief like me?"

"By the way, comrades, can you tell us about the Forbidden City?"

"Tell us the story of Comrade Li Meng!"

"..."

Everyone gathered around.

In the crowd, Qiao Yue's eyes flickered, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

Seeing her in a daze, her husband Ma Renli couldn't help but ask, "Wife, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Qiao Yue said impatiently: "Don't you know how to help with the cooking? You have no sense at all!"

"Are you crazy?" Ma Renli frowned, but after thinking about it, he went to the kitchen.

After Ma Renli left,

Qiao Yue's gaze kept wandering between Xu Damao and Cui Dake.

To be honest, she was moved.

Qiao Yue was originally an actor, and she was never willing to accept her ordinary and miserable fate.

Her first marriage to Captain Niu Dadan was a struggle against fate.

Unfortunately, she found that even if she followed the captain, she could not live a good life, so she had to settle for the second best and follow Ma Renli who was willing to have her.

But the hard life now is not what she wants.

This visit from Li Meng and others made Qiao Yue feel that this was an opportunity.

She wondered if she could find a way to follow this group of people back to Sijiu City.

All she can rely on is this beautiful appearance.

As for Li Meng, Qiao Yue didn't even dare to think about it.

He was a well-known and married man. There was no reason for him to look down on a woman who had been married twice.

To put it bluntly, Li Meng's branch was too high, and Qiao Yue didn't even have the courage to climb it.

As for Xu Damao?

After all, he is the leader of the Propaganda Department, and Qiao Yue feels that this branch is a bit high.

So in the end, Qiao Yue's gaze fell on Cui Dake.

The manager is from the purchasing department of the factory canteen and also a section chief.

This official is neither too big nor too small, just the right size.

After making up her mind, Qiao Yue asked a few questions in a seemingly casual manner. When she learned that Cui Dake was not married, she was overjoyed.

His eyes gradually became firmer.

"Whether it will work or not depends on this one time. I don't want to live this miserable life any more..."

......

In a flash, it’s time for dinner.

Everyone was eating enthusiastically. Basically no one was chatting. Everyone was wolfing down their food.

I’m afraid that I’ll eat too slowly and eat less.

After all, Ma Renli had been to college and was the son of a landlord. He had seen and experienced all sorts of people and was not that bad.

His daughter-in-law Qiao Yue poured him glass of wine one after another.

"Come on, Renli, today is a good day, be happy, and drink more."

"haha okay."

Ma Renli drank it all in one gulp, enjoying it to his heart's content.

After drinking it, Qiao Yue poured another glass.

"Renli, you are also a cultured person, go over and toast Comrade Li Meng."

"Yeah, that's right."

"..."

Qiao Yue drank cup after cup until her husband fell down under the table. She then hurriedly helped him up and said to everyone with a smile, "Look at this loser in my family. He has no tolerance for alcohol but still insists on drinking... You guys eat and drink well. I'll help him go home and rest."

......

Sitting at Li Meng's table were county leaders, village cadres, and Niu Dadan.

"Comrade Li Meng, it's getting late. I think you shouldn't rush back. Just stay here with us for one night."

Niu Dadan laughed and said, "My house is big and has a big kang. You can live in my house. To be honest, the place I live in used to belong to a rich landlord. It's very spacious."

It was indeed late that day, it was already dark.

Li Meng thought about it and nodded, "Then I'll trouble Captain Niu."

"What's the trouble? Come on, have a drink."

Li Meng could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, so after a hearty meal and drink, he went to Niu Dadan's house with Xu Damao, Cui Dake, Zheng Xiangyang and others.

The kang in Niu Dadan’s house was indeed big, and since they were all men, they didn’t care much about it, so they just squeezed together.

Of course, he didn’t go to bed so early. Niu Dadan boiled a pot of hot water and poured some tea leaves.

"We don't have any good tea to serve you guys, so please be patient."

"Oh, it's okay, Captain Niu, we won't pick that one."

Xu Damao handed him a cigarette and asked, "Captain Niu, I saw you talking during the day and it seemed like you had something to hide. Tell me the truth, what about steamed buns every day? Did someone teach you to say those words?"

Niu Dadan took the cigarette, put it under his nose and took a deep sniff before lighting it.

How could he smoke such good cigarettes on normal days? They were all rolled dry tobacco leaves.

After taking a puff with enjoyment, he sighed and said, "Comrades, you all have sharp eyes. Yes, the higher-ups have issued an order not to let us tell the truth. Life is difficult now."

Zheng Xiangyang said: "Captain Niu, the general environment is like this. Whether you tell the truth or not, it won't change anything. Just bear with it. I believe that sooner or later, life will get better!"

"Yes! It will get better sooner or later!"

Several people were drinking tea and smoking. Niu Dadan was also lucky enough to have smoked a lot of good cigarettes today.

There was not much nightlife these days. As soon as it got dark, several people squeezed on the kang and fell asleep one after another.

In the middle of the night, Cui Dake opened his eyes dazedly.

He was woken up by the urge to pee.

Although there was a urinal in the room, he felt embarrassed to pee in someone else's room. After thinking about it, he walked out of the room and planned to pee outside.
