Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

"Xu Damao, why did you think of me today? I thought you were missing. It's been almost a year and I haven't seen you. Do you think this is your vegetable garden and you want to eat some vegetables, so you come here to pick some?"

"Fang Xiaoru, look at what you said. I was busy some time ago. Not to mention you, I didn't have time for my teacher's class. The old man even called and scolded me. There's nothing I can do. I really don't have time."

"Hey, busy man, are you busier than the leaders of the State Council? Excuses are just excuses. None of the men are good, they are all fucking bastards."

"I finally came here, and I made you angry. Fine, fine, I'll just leave. Auntie, I really can't afford to offend you."

Xu Damao wanted to turn around and leave. He was here to relieve his depression. He knew that in a few months, he might be questioned or worse. He came to see the teachers' situation while he was still free. He knew that the teachers would have a hard time in the future.

"Xu Damao, stop! It's not that easy to come and go as you please. Go in and boil some water for me to make tea. It's a rare occasion for me to come here, so I have to order you around. Look at how capable you are. You actually turned your back on me. I gave you face, didn't I?!"

"Okay, auntie, you are awesome. I'll make it for you. Whatever tea you drink today, I'll take advantage of it."

Xu Damao and Fang Xiaoru were chatting and smoking when they found out that the School of Chemical Engineering had announced that classes would be suspended.

"Sister Fang, what are you going to do next when you stop working?"

"I don't do anything. Anyway, I have living expenses. I just need to get by. If I can't, I will go to you to beg for money. You won't let me starve to death."

"That's true, but my life may not be easy in the future. As you know, my wife's family background is not good. She is the daughter of a big capitalist. You see the current situation, it can be better. But I divorced my wife a few years ago. As for the reason, don't ask me. If you ask, I won't tell you. It doesn't matter whether it's to protect myself or to draw a clear line. Anyway, now I am alone and free."

"Hmph! They are so heartless and ruthless. What's wrong with these capitalist ladies? They are also human beings, okay?"

"Xiao Ru, it's okay for you to say this in front of me, but don't shout it out outside. The general environment is like this. If you can't change it, you have to keep your tail between your legs. Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences."

"Let's see who dares. Whoever talks nonsense, I will break his three legs."

"With your skills, you can't even beat me, and you still want to go against the state machine. Listen to me and be patient. Take a good rest when you are not working, recharge yourself, eat more good food, and stay strong."

Fang Xiaoru knew the current situation, she just complained to Xu Damao. In fact, last year on New Year's Eve, she brought supplies back to her parents, and her parents accepted her. She was very grateful to Xu Damao. "Xu Damao, what do you think our society will be like in the future? You think the children nowadays don't go to school, what will happen in the future..."

"Xiao Ru, let it be. This is not something you and I should consider. However, I advise you to make long-term plans, it won't get better in a short time. And are your parents and the others okay?"

"It doesn't seem to be that good, but it's better than our School of Chemical Engineering. I don't know the details."

After Xu Damao chatted with Fang Xiaoru for a long time, he felt much better. He took the initiative to go to the market to buy some ingredients and cooked some food at home. After eating and drinking, he stayed overnight at Fang Xiaoru's house and left for work the next day.

I feel in a good mood, and the long-lasting psychological haze has been swept away.

When he arrived at the factory, he arranged the department's affairs and handed over almost all the internal affairs of the Propaganda Department to Wu Lingjuan, and took Chen Zhiyong to the countryside to present movies. Out of sight, out of mind, when he arrived there, he actually had a good life.

Chen Zhiyong is now an expert in projecting movies, and he hardly needs Xu Damao's help when he goes down, and he takes care of everything by himself. Xu Damao also takes the opportunity to interact with people from various villages and secretly collects some old things in the countryside.

Since June this year, the campaign to sweep away all the evil spirits has begun, and every household has treated old things as bombs. This is a good opportunity for Xu Damao. He took the opportunity to buy goods at a very low price, and never left empty-handed.

This was also an unexpected surprise. Although he took on great risks, Xu Damao gained more experience the more he experienced.

Good luck, no worries about not having money. This time he actually found four small plates in a family for one yuan. Xu Damao was so happy. The sky blue glaze plain plate of Yongzheng period of Qing Dynasty may look inconspicuous, but it is actually priceless in later generations.

Xu Damao still wondered if he had been reborn, otherwise how could he just ask someone and they would say they had official kiln wares. After careful inquiry, he found out that the landlords in the village were overthrown and their wealth was divided. He continued to ask if there were any other wares, and he said there was a jar, which was now filled with things at home and he didn't want to sell it. Xu Damao went into the house and took a look, and immediately said he would buy the figure with a lid for five yuan. The general jar. The other party was so happy that he immediately poured out the remaining sesame powder inside and gave it to Xu Damao. Xu Damao also asked for a piece of rag to wrap it up and left.

A colorful Kangxi-style general jar with a lid cost five yuan. Although some of the yellow color was peeling off, Xu Damao knew that it was the gold powder falling off, which was normal.

This wave is really profitable. It is also the general jar that should not be smashed, otherwise it might be regarded as the four olds and destroyed someday.

The freedom of going to the countryside and the excitement of playing with things made Xu Damao find fun.

This not only helps to establish good relations with the rural cadres and villagers, but also allows me to make a little money from time to time. It's really worth it.

He was so happy about this trip that he didn't go back to the factory the next day, but took Chen Zhiyong directly back to Baishui Village.

This was another free movie screening for Baishui Village. He drank and chatted with Village Chief Chen, and stayed at Gu Meifang's place that night.

These little days.

On the way back to the city, Xu Damao suddenly had an idea.

"Zhiyong, do you want to learn some Kung Fu from me? You will often go to the countryside in the future, and you may run into bad guys."

"Uncle Xu, is this possible?"

"Okay, I'll talk to my master when I get back. I can only teach you martial arts with my master's consent."

Chen Zhiyong was very excited. He really didn't know that this cheap stepfather had some skills.

He admired Xu Damao very much. Not to mention that Xu Damao had improved his family's life a lot over the years, he also knew that the village chief's youngest son Chen Xiaoshun, his younger cousin who was not more than five generations of mourning, was also brought into the steel rolling mill by Xu Damao. Although the village chief's family spent money, the opportunity to go to the city was not something that every family could buy.

Last night, Xu Damao and his mother were discussing about introducing his sister Chen Zhiyu to a young man in the city as his wife. If that happens, his whole family can move to the city, and his mother and sister won't have to look at people's faces in the village anymore. Since he was a child, he knew clearly how difficult and helpless his family was since his father died while repairing the canal. So when Xu Damao hooked up with his mother, although he was not very happy in his heart, he did not object. Fortunately, he did not object. Otherwise, how could he have the life he has now. Besides, Xu Damao did not make his mother too embarrassed in the village. At least she was not caught in the act.

Every boy has a dream of being a martial arts hero. Now that Uncle Xu says he wants to teach him martial arts, his chivalrous heart is stirring again.
