Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

The blackboards and newspapers were finished very quickly. The main content was to encourage people to overcome the disaster, and there were introductions to various spring wild vegetables and fishing techniques. The pictures and texts were rich and the handwriting was neat and beautiful. The propaganda department of the big factory still has capable people. Li Huaimin, led by Xu Damao, personally checked the 15 blackboards and newspapers in four places.

"Xiao Xu, Deputy Section Chief Xu, this content is very well done and very instructive. I think you should go to Deputy Director Li in person to report the situation and see if Director Li can ask the factory office to come and take a look. I think the first task of our Propaganda Department in the New Year should be to let the factory office leaders see it."

"Chief, do you think it's okay?"

"That's great, Xiao Xu. Strike while the iron is hot. I think you should report to the factory office. Of course, it would be even better if Director Yang could come and check it out in person. Maybe this matter can be reported to the higher-ups. In the current situation where supplies are so scarce, our Propaganda Department is trying to encourage factory workers to develop a spirit of not fearing hardship or fatigue. Of course, it is also important for us to guide workers on how to survive the disaster. This content about wild vegetables is very practical. Spring is coming soon. If digging wild vegetables can benefit workers, then our efforts on this blackboard newspaper will not be in vain. Great."

Xu Damao followed suit and reported to Li Huaide, who then asked Xu Damao to report to Director Yang. A few days later, Director Yang used an excuse to ask the department leaders to come over and visit the blackboard newspaper in the factory.

As expected, a small matter was hyped up to a certain extent. Some representative blackboards of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill were even published in the newspapers.

Xu Damao felt the powerful force of publicity. He was in the newspaper, and several groups of propaganda departments of brother units came to visit and study, and Xu Damao led the group to explain.

Xu Damao was really busy for a while. Xu Damao cried out that he had been cheated. This was too high-profile, and he felt a little too busy.

Fortunately, Xu Damao's position as a deputy section-level cadre was also secured. This was what Xu Damao considered to be his biggest gain from this blackboard newspaper.

I was riding my public bicycle home from work and saw two familiar figures in the distance. This was really rare. Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu were walking home from work side by side.

Xu Damao has found that his five senses have improved significantly in recent times. He can clearly hear Yi Zhonghai talking to Jia Dongxu from a distance of more than 20 meters.

"Dongxu, in the next few days I will go to Director Tian to apply for a few second-level parts for you to practice. You have to sacrifice your lunch break to practice more and strive to pass the work level assessment at the end of March. Otherwise, you will really let down your master's hard work for you. After you pass the second level, the master will start to teach you the third-level workpieces. In the second half of the year, you should make a concerted effort and pass the third-level exam. Then you can show those who look down on you that you, Jia Dongxu, are also a genius."

Jia Dongxu was a little excited and agreed to Yi Zhonghai's brainwashing, "Master, I will work hard and live up to your expectations."

If this wasn't the only way home, Xu Damao would have wanted to take a detour home.

Xu Damao didn't want to say hello to the two people he least wanted to see in the compound. But he was also afraid that the two would turn around and see him, so he could only speed up, ring the bell, pass by the two shoulder to shoulder, and quickly greeted, "Uncle, Brother Dongxu, are you off work?"

This is nonsense. Asking questions knowing the answer is the most practical at this time. Before Jia Dongxu could reply, Xu Damao's bicycle had already rushed out seven or eight meters.

"Master, look at what Xu Damao has done. He is deliberately challenging you."

"Dongxu, stop being so talkative and go home. Remember what the master said today."

Yi Zhonghai was obviously upset about Xu Damao's performance today. Xu Damao had heard Jia Dongxu's provocative words in front of him, but he didn't take it to heart. He knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Jia Dongxu would not live for many days. Who would argue with a dead person?

He went back to the backyard and did what he needed to do. He really didn't want to cause any trouble in the No. 95 compound, and he didn't have time to deal with this group of people. He had a lot of things to do.

I take care of the children at home, make my wife happy, and learn carving techniques at night.

Pu Yulin had given Xu Damao homework. He would go to his home every week to teach him miscellaneous dating techniques and carving skills.

Pu Yulin also prepared a complete set of tools for Xu Damao for regular carving. These tools are not available outside. Especially the professional chisels used for seal carving, with different knives for different materials.

Hehe, Xu Damao really wanted to learn it. He thought that as long as he learned it, he would carve a few seals for himself.

If you are able to learn something with the guidance of a famous teacher, it means you have a skill. Maybe you can use this skill to make a living when you are down and out.

Of course Xu Damao only thought about what would happen if he fell into poverty. He would never let himself fall into poverty.

Now he is at least a deputy section-level cadre. As long as he does not make mistakes, he can still make a living in the steel mill. Besides, he is a first-class film projectionist, so he can make a living anywhere. The film can still be popular for another 30 years, so he is not worried about his retirement.

Besides, the gold mine of Lou Xiao'e has not been officially developed. He just needs to protect Lou Xiao'e and the child and go to Hong Kong smoothly before the big storm comes, and wait for Lou Xiao'e to return in more than ten years. Besides, he still has dozens of fine antiques in his hands, and he will be a billionaire in a few decades.

As long as he survived till the end, he would be successful. As for pursuing a career in government, there was no such thing. Xu Damao had long given up the idea of ​​a career in government. As for whether he could be promoted to deputy section chief in the future, it was all up to nature.

A life with rules is a fulfilling one. Every day, Xu Damao gets up at 5 a.m., resumes his running and exercise routine, buys breakfast at the breakfast shop, goes home, eats with his wife and children, and then goes to work.

In the company, apart from meetings and arranging department affairs, the rest of the time is spent studying. After get off work, he always goes to Dongsishitiao to meet Guo Xiaosan or Zhang Lingyun. Because more and more people are selling old items recently, Xu Damao still has to go there from time to time to take a look and ask. Now he has enough funds to collect things. It doesn't matter if it's a little expensive. As long as the items are open, he is still happy to collect some while he can.

After returning home and having dinner in the evening, I started to learn carving.

Xu Damao had not drunk alcohol for a long time because he was learning carving. He could not hold the chisel steadily when drunk and could easily cut himself.

Learn the same thing and love the same thing, then you will make rapid progress.

Time flies, and it is almost the end of March. The breath of spring in Kyoto is getting stronger and stronger. Although the streets are still dominated by gray, flowers are gradually blooming and green is reappearing in every corner.

Xu Damao held Xu Ning and took Xu Jun out of the yard for a walk every day to let the children feel the arrival of spring.
