Siheyuan: My Golden Finger is updated weekly

time flies.

The winter of 65 was very cold.

Sha Zhu blew a breath into his hands and quickly put them back into his pocket. He walked into the courtyard, swinging his arms and humming a little tune.

"Director He, are you off work?" Yan Bugui said in a joking tone.

Although Xu Damao's popularity was short-lived, Sha Zhu's position as canteen director was not removed.

Now, he is still the canteen director, which can be said to be due to the help of Xu Damao.

"No, I mean Uncle San." Sha Zhu pointed with a smile, "It's your bicycle. You clean it today and tomorrow. It's winter now, and you're still cleaning it? Aren't you afraid that it will freeze and break down faster?"

Yan Bugui chuckled and said, "That's impossible. I always wipe it again with a dry rag after wiping it."

"Uncle San is smoking."

"Oh, thank you, Zhuzi."

Yan Bugui took the cigarette, lit it, patted Sha Zhu's hand, and took a puff with satisfaction.

He seldom smokes and never buys cigarettes himself. He only takes a puff when someone toasts him, mainly to save money.

"Hey Zhuzi, it's not a good idea for your sister Yushui and Xu Damao to live separately like this all the time."

Yan Bugui said: "Don't think what the Third Master said is harsh. We are all experienced people. I think..."

Yan Bugui came closer, looked around, and whispered, "I wonder if Xu Damao's old illness has relapsed and he is not doing well again?"

Hearing this, Sha Zhu laughed and said, "I don't care about their affairs. Isn't it said that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled? Not to mention a sister who is married off."

Xu Damao and He Yushui have always lived separately.

Xu Damao lives in the backyard and He Yushui lives in the middle yard. They always smile at each other when they meet and there is no sign of conflict at all.

Everyone else was just guessing, but Sha Zhu knew it. He knew that his sister married Xu Damao just to put on a show and shut him and other people up.

In fact, he must be thinking about someone in his heart.

As for who he was thinking about, Sha Zhu could vaguely guess.

If it were someone else, Sha Zhu would have become famous a long time ago.

But, Li Meng?

Sha Zhu could only sigh.

"Haha, yes, yes."

Seeing Sha Zhu like this, Yan Bugui stopped talking, laughed, and went back to the house.

Not long after, Li Meng also returned to the compound.

The masters in the courtyard seemed to have found a backbone and gathered at Li Meng's house without any prior arrangement.

"Mengzi, I brought some food from Fengze Garden."

"What a coincidence! I got two ducks from Quanjude, just enough for a meal, haha."

Cui Dake and Xu Damao were clearing the table and setting the table.

Zhang Chunmei was playing with her child and couldn't help but smile when she saw them.

Since Li Meng's status has become higher and higher, Zhang Chunmei's life has become less and less worrying.

On weekdays, either Shazhu cooks, or we eat out, or these people bring food back from outside.

She didn't have to do anything, even after dinner, someone would clear the table and wash the dishes.

These days are like a dream.

The food and drinks are all ready, and we are still just old brothers.

After taking a sip of wine, Xu Damao said, "Mengzi, something is wrong with our steel mill recently."

Li Meng laughed and said, "What's wrong?"

Xu Damao shook his head. "Director Yang is smoking less and less. Several times when the leaders came to inspect, they criticized him. I think he is the type who is looking for trouble... On the contrary, Deputy Director Li has become more and more powerful since he was reinstated. Many things that were not originally under his jurisdiction are now under his jurisdiction."

Cui Dake echoed, "Yes, now people who don't know would think that Deputy Director Li is the director, he is so arrogant."

Li Meng said, "Aren't you feeling proud? He's one of ours. With him protecting you, you can walk around the factory with your head held high. How comfortable that is."

Cui Dake chuckled: "That's true."

Xu Damao suddenly said, "Why do I feel like Director Yang is about to step down at any time?"

Hearing this, Sha Zhu was unhappy: "Hey, Director Yang is a good person and has abilities. He can't step down or not."

A few people smiled and didn't say anything.

In fact, Sha Zhu himself knew that Director Yang might really not be able to smoke anymore.

Resigning may be a matter of time.

Looking at the snow outside, which was falling heavily, Li Meng suddenly said, "Wife."

"What's wrong, boss?"

"After dinner, go and get our books. Take out Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Dream of the Red Chamber, and more."

"Master, do you want to see it?"

"No."

Li Meng tightened his clothes and said, "It's a bit cold. Put the book in the stove and add some fire."

Xu Damao chuckled: "It has to be our Mengzi. This guy uses books as firewood. He is so generous!"

Zhang Chunmei was also confused: "Boss, why did you burn such a good book? Isn't it good to read it when you have nothing to do?"

Li Meng smiled and said nothing. Although Zhang Chunmei was still very confused, she saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so she took out a lot of books and threw them into the stove.

Xu Damao suddenly had an idea and thought of something.

"Mengzi, you inexplicably transferred the rain to the logistics department before. Is it because..." Xu Damao tightened his clothes: "The weather is getting colder?"

At that time, Xu Damao didn't think anything was wrong.

But now I think,

Where is the Publicity Department?

Sometimes, you bear the brunt of it.

"Come, drink." Li Meng picked up the wine glass.

After everyone finished their glass, they all felt worried.

But they all agreed to go home and sell some old items in their homes as soon as possible, and if they couldn't be sold, they would destroy them.

After all, it’s always right to follow Mengzi’s steps.

Even Nan Yi, no matter how reluctant he was, was ready to dispose of his precious phonograph.

......

Li Huaide's home.

People always forget the pain once the wound has healed.

After Li Huaide’s last incident was settled, he learned his lesson for a while, but not long after, he hooked up with another girl in the factory.

Qin Huairu saw this happen once, but Li Huaide didn't take it to heart.

It's because their identities and status are so different that Qin Huairu has to rely on Li Huaide to support her. Is it okay for her to be a little ignorant?

"You haven't been back to the courtyard for a long time. Your son probably misses you. Go home and stay for a few days to see your son and your parents." Li Huaide said.

Qin Huairu said "oh".

She knew that Li Huaide was dissatisfied with her being a nuisance at home again, and he estimated that the house would temporarily change the hostess in the next few days.

But Qin Huairu also took it easy.

She was with Li Huaide just for his financial advantage.

At least now the delicious food and drinks are many times better than before.

It just so happened that she missed her son too.

After simply packing up her things, Qin Huairu said, "I'm leaving," and left the room.

The moment I left the room, tears started falling.

She suddenly felt that life like this was very depressing, but there was no better way, no better choice.

He sighed and returned to the courtyard in the wind and snow.
