Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

Xu Nian was still very willing to donate. Not only to the neighborhood committee and street office in Dongzhimen, but also to the district civil affairs bureau where her mother-in-law used to work, and the justice bureau where her husband Hu Suian worked. Considering the street office and neighborhood committee where her parents worked, she bought 500 boxes of instant noodles at one time, and the bill was deducted from her own profit distribution, without having to pay directly out of her own pocket.

Xu Damao received the instant noodles forwarded by Xu Nian and personally delivered thirty boxes of instant noodles to the Baini Neighborhood Committee and the Xinzhong Street Neighborhood Committee. As for the street office where he worked, Xu Damao did not have any consideration. He did not want to be in the limelight, and sending them out in a ostentatious manner would have a bad impact.

Giving some money to the neighborhood committee is to build good relations and prevent similar reports from happening again. Xu Damao found it troublesome to explain.

Hu Suian has become famous in the Justice Bureau. He has a high education, a good family background, is handsome, and is good at handling affairs. He has a good reputation in the Justice Bureau. This guy, everyone in the Justice Bureau has a box of instant noodles. The market price is really not low, more than 40 yuan, a full quarter of a month's salary. The most important thing is that it is not easy to buy Si Nian brand instant noodles in the market.

Now Hu Suian had a new task at work: to buy instant noodles for the company every month. If someone familiar with him didn't use them, they would go moldy.

Hu Suian has a car now, so it doesn't matter, just buy it. At wholesale price, my wife can make a little money anyway.

It soon became mid-December. A drizzle caused the temperature in Kyoto to drop by five or six degrees in an instant. Xu Damao clearly felt that after the drizzle, it would soon snow.

Hurry up and prepare the goods. It is also a laborious life. I stocked up on Chinese cabbage and honeycomb coal for the winter. I went to Nanshi and bought enough fruits, mainly Guoguang apples, which are durable, crisp and sweet, and reasonably priced.

Beiqijiajia, Yandaixie Street, Dongsishi Street, and Fang Xiaoru's courtyard were all taken by himself.

After thinking about it, he spent money to find someone to go to Caoyuan Hutong to clean the Qi family's house thoroughly. Considering that Catherine was coming, he bought several heating stoves, stored honeycomb coal, and added new bedding. It was not appropriate to let Qi Huan live in other places when the family came. The most important thing was that when Catherine was brainwashed last time, she said that the house in Caoyuan Hutong was her Qi family's private property. He swallowed back the words that he couldn't say. Only when people feel a sense of belonging as the owner can they truly believe in your sincerity.

I was so busy that I kept up until the end of the month. It snowed twice in Kyoto and stopped twice. Finally, the weather cleared up and I had to clear the snow again.

On the 28th, Qi Huan and his group of six flew to Kyoto. They took the airport bus and then took a taxi to the Xu family residence on Dongshishi Street.

"Oh my God, I just told my family that Brother Huan would come early, come early, but I didn't expect you to show up as soon as I opened the door. Catherine, welcome, welcome, come in quickly, the children can't stand the weather in Kyoto all of a sudden, don't get cold. Brother Huan, Sister Hui, come in quickly."

After a busy meal, Gu Meifang quickly made some dumpling soup for Qi Huan and his party to eat first to warm their stomachs. Unexpectedly, the dumpling soup was so delicious that Lou Xiaohui was not satisfied.

"Meifang, your cooking skills are amazing. You can make a simple dumpling soup so delicious. It seems that I will gain ten pounds during this trip to Kyoto."

Catherine's children, the oldest is 11 years old, the middle daughter is 7 years old, and the youngest son is years old. Because of the fatigue of the journey, they arranged a compartment to adjust to the time difference. The room was well heated and warm, and the children fell asleep quickly and fell asleep immediately.

"Brother Huan, Sister Hui, why don't you go to sleep for a while? It doesn't matter how long you sleep. We can have dinner when you get up."

"It's okay. I can't fall asleep all of a sudden. Let me take my time." Qi Huan and Xu Damao didn't mean to be polite. Lou Xiaohui was even less polite. Sister-in-law, so close.

"Sister Hui, how about I go get Xiao'e and the others so we can have dinner together?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm going to sleep for a while. I flew for more than ten hours, and it took me nearly two hours to get here from the airport. I'm really tired."

"Then Catherine, why don't you go to the west wing and rest with the children?"

"Uncle Xu, I'll wait a moment too. I just ate this noodle dumpling and I need to digest it."

"I heard you've learned Chinese. So try to speak Mandarin at home. That way you'll learn faster. If you don't speak it, just ask."

Catherine answered directly in Mandarin, "Uncle Xu, I will try my best. I am not ~very~ good at speaking yet. Can I speak? I will definitely study hard." Gegedada also expressed his opinion.

"Da Mao, Catherine learns very quickly. She really hasn't been exposed to Mandarin much, unlike Steven, who has been with me more and can speak and listen. But I believe Catherine will be able to adapt to life in Kyoto soon. Catherine's visa is valid for half a year this time. I think she will be able to learn it in half a year."

"Brother Huan, Catherine, are you really planning to live in Kyoto permanently? Open a pharmaceutical factory?"

"Yes, Catherine has already prepared the project and reserved the pharmaceutical production line. We are just waiting for your daughter to come back to register the company and then rent a place here."

"Brother Huan, if it is really decided, we can buy the land and build the factory ourselves. It won't take a few months for the factory to be built. If it goes fast, it is possible that it can be put into production in June or July next year."

"Oh? The country now allows private individuals to buy land?"

"Yes, we are buying the right to use the land, which can last up to fifty years. I have my eyes on two places. When the weather is fine in a few days, we will go and take a look at them in person."

"Well, there's no rush."

"Brother Huan, there is something. Now that Catherine has come to Beijing, it is inconvenient to apply for a visa to go back and forth. It happened that last time Catherine came to Kyoto, I asked Xiaoru to inquire about it. Now Tsinghua University wants to hire Catherine to be a teacher at the school. If so, Catherine does not need a visa, and if she thinks it is okay for her child to go to school in Kyoto, Tsinghua University can also solve the problem of schooling. I heard from Xiaoru that the treatment offered by Tsinghua University is not bad. Catherine, would you like to consider being a guest external expert of Tsinghua University?"

Catherine didn't understand the long sentence in Beijing dialect at first. But after Qi Huan heard it,

"National Tsing Hua University hiring experts? This is a good shortcut, but will it affect Catherine's job at the pharmaceutical factory?"

"It has no impact. Shuying will be in charge of the registration of the pharmaceutical factory. Catherine is considered a consultant or partner. Otherwise, the pharmaceutical factory cannot be registered. The most troublesome thing about applying for a pharmaceutical factory now is the production license. However, with Catherine's international product licensing materials, everything will become simple. Besides, the country is currently in full swing in attracting investment, so the procedures may be more convenient."

"I understand. Is it a drug production license? The three drugs I have have been certified and registered by the FDA, so there should be no problem. If Kyoto does not allow production, I will go back to the United States."

"I don't think so. Catherine, if this is your plan, then forget about the Tsinghua University hiring issue. You have a six-month visa anyway, which is more than enough time."

They chatted for about half an hour, and Lou Xiaohui began to yawn continuously, so they quickly went to bed.

Xu Damao originally thought that the jet lag would be reversed by the time they woke up in the middle of the night, but he did not expect that the six members of the family would sleep until the early morning of the next day before waking up one by one.

Lou Xiao'e had already taken Lou Boxu for a stroll from Shichahai to Dongsishitiao.
