Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

"Madam, are you in the house?"

After the Spring Festival, an old man named Yi Zhonghai got the main house in the backyard.

"It's Zhonghai, come in, the door is not bolted."

Yi Zhonghai pushed the door open and entered the house.

"Old lady, the subdistrict office just announced that there is a new policy this year, saying that elderly people of your age who have lost their ability to work and are living alone can apply for the five-guarantee status. Director Wang of the subdistrict office asked me to ask for your personal opinion. If you are willing to apply, I will do the job for you."

"Zhonghai, I heard about this last year. You see, my old lady is taking care of these two main houses and living a decent life. Zhonghai, you came to ask me about this today, and I want to ask you, are you willing to take care of me in my old age? If you two are willing, I want you to take care of me in my old age, and my two main houses will belong to you in the future. If you are not willing, then please apply for the procedures for the five-guarantee household for me. Alas, it's a pity for these two houses, they will belong to the government after I die. Zhonghai, you don't have to reply me in a hurry, go back and discuss it with Auntie."

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that the deaf old lady actually wanted him to take care of her in her old age, but the temptation of the two main houses was indeed quite great. After a little calculation, it was worth it. Besides, even if the qualification of the five-guarantee household was obtained, the old man in the courtyard would have to take care of her. Even if she was not a five-guarantee household, she would still have a certain amount of money. He would not suffer any loss. Moreover, Yi Zhonghai felt that the old lady must have her own savings, otherwise she would not be so calm. Judging from one's own experience, it should be so. However, Yi Zhonghai did not agree on the spot.

"Okay, old lady, I'll go back and discuss it with Guifang and get back to you."

The old lady squinted her eyes and watched Yi Zhonghai leave her house. She looked confident and sat cross-legged on the warm kang.

As spring gradually arrived, Xu Damao started his daily jogging plan at five o'clock again, but now he ran to the yard of Yandaixie Street every day, then stood in the yard, walked on the plum blossom pole, and practiced Xingyi Baguazhang routines. He bought breakfast at seven o'clock and went home before going to work.

I took some time to visit the old Chinese doctor at Tong Ren Tang and had a physical checkup. He was fine, everything was back to normal.

It seems that in the previous life, I was indeed kicked to pieces by that bastard Sha Zhu.

Now, I can rest assured and wait for Lou Xiaoe to get pregnant and give birth to a child, so that the family will not be extinct.

Hehe, let’s see if Shazhu is still showing off.

With Xu Damao's feeding, Lou Xiao'e became more and more plump and wealthy.

"Da Mao, please stop feeding me so well. I'm too fat. If you continue like this, I'll turn into a fat pig."

"Xiao'e, it's okay. You can just learn from me and do some standing meditation. It's good for your health. I'll teach you when I'm free."

Sure enough, Lou Xiao'e had gained some weight. Her bust and hip circumference had obviously increased, and her size had almost caught up with Jia Dongxu's wife Qin Huairu. Moreover, Lou Xiao'e was not as tall as Qin Huairu, which made her look even fatter.

He only eats and doesn't work, and has the potential to be like Jia Zhang.

A new round of rating examinations in the factory has begun in full swing.

Yi Zhonghai became stronger with age and passed the seventh-level fitter exam. Liu Haizhong also passed the seventh-level forging exam.

Zhang Taihe from the second workshop also passed the sixth-level fitter rating, and Zhang Tengyun also passed the third-level rating. Among the people Xu Damao knew, except Jia Dongxu who was still standing still at the first-level worker, they were all steadily working at the normal level without any suspense.

Xu Damao was also drunk. He himself was promoted one level in this rating. His basic salary increased from 35 yuan to 5 yuan. In addition to the 41 cents he earned for each movie screening and the additional subsidy for going to the countryside, his income was firmly over 45 yuan.

I can't help but worry about Jia Dongxu and all the residents of No. 95 Courtyard.

He Yuzhu did not participate in the rating this time because he did not have enough experience as a chef. However, for the 20-year-old Shazhu, the eighth-level cook is definitely a very progressive young man.

This year, He Yuzhu started to take charge of the small canteen. Whether it was stir-fry or big pot dishes, He Yuzhu's skills were better than those of Chef Yang, the monitor of the second canteen.

Today is the rating test, He Yuzhu made some stir-fried dishes for the experts in the small canteen at noon. It should be said that the time for the small canteen to belong to He Yuzhu has come.

Xu Damao looked at Yi Zhonghai coldly and said to Jia Dongxu, "You were fine during practice yesterday, but you failed the test. It's because you were lazy and didn't practice enough. You ruined the good situation. You should know that if you can't keep up with one step, you will lose every step."

"Master, I embarrassed you. I didn't know it. I was so nervous that my hands were shaking, and I cut a few extra strands. It's ruined."

"Dongxu, work hard from now on. Try to pass the Level 6 exam in the second half of the year. You see, you are short of yuan per month in the past six months, which means you are short of one month's salary. What can I say about you? Alas..."

Jia Dongxu was also very upset. When he went to the second canteen to get lunch at noon, he heard people talking nearby, "You said that a veteran employee who has worked for four years is still a first-level worker. Haha, it really made me laugh to death. The master is actually a seventh-level worker. Is he stupid or is he cheating? I think his first-level title is fake."

Jia Dongxu's blood boiled over in an instant, "Lin Shengli, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, you have self-awareness and know that I am talking about you. I am just telling the truth. What's wrong with that? You can embarrass our workshop, but people are not allowed to talk about you. So what if they say you are a fool? Aren't you that?"

Jia Dongxu became more and more furious and lost his composure. He rushed over and hit Lin Shengli on the head with the lunch box in his hand. As luck would have it, the lid of the lunch box flew off and the sharp edge of the lunch box cut Lin Shengli's forehead. A large piece of skin was scraped off and blood gushed out, covering Lin Shengli's face and work clothes.

"Quick, quick, rush to the infirmary. Hey, tell the security department to take Jia Dongxu under control."

Lin Shengli was sent to the infirmary, where his wound was cleaned with iodine, bandaged, and given a tetanus shot.

After investigating the truth, the security department reported it directly to the factory office. The factory office took the facts as the criterion and directly dealt with Jia Dongxu, the person responsible for the incident: compensate Lin Shengli for lost work, nutrition and other losses of 15 yuan, criticize him once in the factory, and prohibit him from participating in the rating examination within two years.

This punishment was not light. When Yi Zhonghai was resting in the workshop office, he suddenly heard the criticism of Jia Dongxu on the factory radio and was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

It's been less than an hour since they separated, and they've caused such a big incident. They won't be rated for two years. It's ridiculous to think about it.

Xu Damao, who was in the information room, also heard the broadcast. He even wanted to observe a three-minute silence for Jia Dongxu.

It is really a case of bringing trouble upon oneself. Good things are not given to one, but one who causes trouble first.

Xu Damao felt sorry for Qin Huairu: a smart woman, but she ended up in the doghouse of Jia family without realizing it. Oh... let's wait and see.

He didn't have time today. Just now at lunch, he had already made an appointment with Zhang Taihe and Zhang Tengyun to treat the master's family to Donglaishun mutton hotpot tonight to celebrate everyone passing the rating test. He also wanted to introduce his wife Lou Xiao'e to the master. In the future, there will be some care.
