Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

In the afternoon, Li Huaide took a pen and sat up straight as soon as he got to work, concentrating on the manuscript at hand.

Judging from his concentration, it seemed as if he wanted to understand every word in the manuscript.

After maintaining the same posture for more than an hour, Li Huaide finally picked up the pen and drew a small circle on two places that needed to be discussed. Then he folded the manuscript, stood up with satisfaction, and patted his stiff waist.

He originally wanted to ask a clerk to go to the car team, but after thinking it over, he decided to go by himself.

When he went downstairs, he happened to run into Xu Damao, who was holding a brown paper box in his hand. Damao nodded and bowed: "Hello, Deputy Director Li."

Li Huaide was surprised for a moment, then he remembered: "You have been transferred to the Personnel Department?"

Xu Damao immediately flattered him: "Thank you for your kindness, leader. From now on, I, Xu Damao, will follow your lead!"

This guy is quite knowledgeable and interesting.

Deputy Director Li patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well, Director Xu, I'll wait and see how you perform."

Xu Damao was so delighted when he was called "Secretary Xu"!

It was not until today that he realized that the projectionist he was so proud of in the past was nothing but a piece of shit!

He is not even the lowest-ranking cadre - a clerk.

No wonder even Xu Dacan looked down on the job of projectionist, he was even worse than the driver, who was promoted to deputy fifth-level cadre...

It was not until he entered the Personnel Department this time that Xu Damao realized how difficult it was to become a cadre!

It has to be approved by the Organization Department, appointed by the state, and have a formal establishment. Only then can it be called a cadre!

As for the judicial review that everyone later became familiar with, Xu Damao was not qualified at that time.

What is being checked at this time? Before the main leaders, backbones, and confidentiality staff are hired, their beliefs are verified to assess their political reliability.

The later system of family background management was only introduced after the system was improved and standardized in 1983.

"..."

Li Huaide came to the car class and found that only Xu Dacan was there. He was writing and drawing out of boredom.

Li Huaide walked over curiously: "Xiao Xu, where are the others?"

Xu Dacan quickly put down his pen and said, "Leader, my master and Director Yang are out. Ma Qiang made a mistake in operation this morning and got all covered in engine oil. He went back to take a shower and change clothes."

Li Huaide frowned: "Why is this person so careless?"

Xu Dacan knew at a glance that Ma Qiang really had no background. Li Huaide just said that casually.

So he said shamelessly: "Leader, can you give me one of your Daqianmen?"

Li Huaide smiled and took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket. Xu Dacan quickly lit it for him before lighting his own.

Seeing Li Huaide take out the essay he had written in the morning, he asked, "Is the leader satisfied?"

Li Huaide nodded: "The article is very cleverly written, and the central idea is clear, reminiscing about childhood life. The idea is good, but some parts are questionable, you see..."

After discussing the essay with Xu Dacan and confirming that there were no problems, Li Huaide became nervous: "Dacan, do you really want me to send it to the department for publication?"

Why are you still scared? Xu Dacan quickly encouraged him and gave him some chicken soup, and Li Huaide became more confident again.

After finishing the business, I asked him, "I saw you were writing and drawing just now, what were you doing?"

Xu Dacan was delighted, took out the large board for displaying drawings, and explained to Li Huaide:

"Look, it's almost the end of the year, and our brother companies are hosting banquets for each other. It's so boring to just sit there and wait for people.

I came up with a poker game that is relatively loose in rules, flexible and cooperative, and does not hurt the relationship. It is very suitable for leisure and entertainment among leaders. "

The people living under the imperial city are no strangers to poker and chess.

In this age of scarcity of entertainment, especially on summer nights, an electric light would be hung halfway up in the yard, and the young and old men in the yard would bring their stools and sit under the light to enjoy the cool air, playing chess and playing poker. It was a lively scene.

Especially the poker game, because there are so many people participating, often adults in one group and children in another, it's like a competition to see who has the loudest voice!

Li Huaide was very interested when he heard it: "Oh, a new way to play? Is it to compete for the top, or 80 points?"

At that time, these two were the mainstream ways to play. The factory union would also hold a poker competition every year, using towels, soap, enamel pots, etc. as prizes.

Factory workers generally like to play the game of competing for the top, while leaders prefer a score of more than 80 points.

Xu Dacan was happy: "Both. My game combines the gameplay of Fight for the Top and 80 Points. I named it Throwing Eggs."

"Throwing eggs?" Li Huaide was puzzled.

Xu Dacan explained: "Aren't four identical cards called bombs? I named it to mean throwing bombs with all my strength."

Bomb, Li Huaide understands, this is in the game "Strive to Become the Best".

Listening to Xu Dacan's explanation of the specific playing method of "throwing eggs", Li Huaide found it more and more interesting.

First of all, the number of cards is different from the traditional way of playing. Each person has 27 cards.

Secondly, there are too many types of cards. 4 trumps can beat 8 cards; a straight flush can beat 5 cards; a 6-card flush can beat a straight flush; and there are also red star cards...

Speaking of this Flush, Li Huaide said to Xu Dacan: "My father-in-law taught me a way to play called Red Five Stars, which means that 5 consecutive red star cards are the biggest; your way of playing is interesting, very interesting!"

Do you know where the game of throwing eggs became really popular in later generations? The answer is right here, right under Xu Dacan's feet!

If a project becomes popular in the imperial city, it will become popular all over the country.

Because it has become a "social admission ticket".

The key cost is extremely low: a table, four chairs, a pot of tea, and two decks of cards, and you can play for hours.

Playing mahjong while chatting is full of variables and contingencies. It is a leisure activity with a low threshold but a high level of attainment.

In the year when Xu Dacan traveled through time, their game of throwing eggs had actually surpassed mahjong. Can you believe it? !

When Xu Dacan took out this thing, he knew that "old silver coins" like Li Huaide would definitely like to play throwing eggs!

"..."

The factory did not have any reception tasks tonight, but the small private room in the cafeteria was still bustling with activity.

Since Ma Hua took the blame for him, Sha Zhu could only bring an apprentice named Zhao Long with him today. The two of them had been waiting in the kitchen for more than an hour. When they looked at the watch, it was already past 7 o'clock. Why didn't the leader ask them to cook yet?

In the private room, Director Yang sat on the east, Li Huaide sat on the west, the factory's chief steward and the head of the finance department sat on the north, and another deputy director sat on the south.

Four people were sitting around a small square table, having a great time playing poker!
