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

After Li Huaide finished speaking, he stopped talking, but he didn't leave!

He supervised Sha Zhu while he cooked a dish, and only left the kitchen when he saw that he didn't seem to have any problems.

Sha Zhu also had his own troubles. Before he went to the kitchen today, he took two pain-relieving pills.

But even so, I still don't have the strength to stir the wok.

Xu Dacan had beaten him badly this time. These past few days, Sha Zhu would rather sit than lie down, and would rather stand than sit. Even when eating, he would only struggle to get a bite together when he had no other choice.

What made him feel even more heartbroken was that his beloved sister Qin had not come to see him in these days, let alone bring him food!

On the day Sha Zhu was discharged from the hospital, as soon as he returned to the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and others came first, but Qin Huairu was the only one missing.

Shazhu was already annoyed, and then this group of people asked him all kinds of questions, which made him mad. He drove them all away in a few words.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to hold a meeting of the entire institute, but neither Xu Damao nor Lou Xiao'e came.

The old Qi family went to the vegetable market today and had an argument with the vegetable seller. He was so angry that he ended up making a wasted trip. He was so angry that he didn't even give Yi Zhonghai face: "I say, uncle, don't do such things as using chicken feathers as a token of authority in the future!"

After saying that, he left without looking back. When we looked at Yi Zhonghai again, his face was almost colorless, the same color as stainless steel. If you didn't know, you would have thought he was evolving.

At this time, Qin Huairu was operating a sewing machine at home, making clothes for her older son.

Jia Zhang was still talking to her: "Do you think this silly Zhu has gone crazy because of the loss? How could he treat Xu Damao like that? You live in the same courtyard, and you see him every day. You should spend less time with him recently."

Qin Huairu said casually: "It's still 8 days before the salary is paid. I have so many mouths to feed at home every day, so how can I have the time to mind other people's business?"

Qin Huairu cut the thread from the needle of the sewing machine and said to Jia Zhang: "Mother-in-law, how about you lend me the 3 yuan I gave you this month, and I will pay you back when I get my salary next month."

Jia Zhang immediately looked alert: "I don't have any money!"

Qin Huairu sighed. Her mother-in-law was a person of miserliness, who only took in money but never spent it. She had to give her mother-in-law 27 yuan as so-called "pension money" as soon as she got her monthly salary of 5 yuan.

Look, it’s almost the end of the year, and it’s so hard to get through the year!

Not to mention the hunger she caused outside, like taking the five large white flour buns from Xu Damao and borrowing the money from Guo Dapiezi, did she think she didn't have to pay them back?

Of course, the steamed buns must be paid back with steamed buns, as for the money...

At this time, Banggeng has to pay tuition again. This school is really bad. Teaching and educating people, isn’t this benefiting the people? Why do children have to pay tuition?

A while ago, Yi Zhonghai gave her 10 kilograms of flour, but she ate it all in two meals.

Her son Bang Geng would eat three such big steamed buns in one go; and her mother-in-law always said, "I don't eat unclean things," but where did the remaining buns go?

When Qin Huairu thought of this, she couldn't suppress the annoyance in her heart.

It’s unknown, I’ll have to find a way to pay for the tuition from Sha Zhu again.

Today the factory is entertaining leaders from Shougang. How important this is is not only clear to Li Huaide and Sha Zhu, but even Qin Huairu knows it.

To entertain such an important leader, how could we miss some delicious food in the kitchen?

Even if Sha Zhu left a little bit, it would be enough to support Qin Huairu's family for 2 to 3 days.

But does Sha Zhu really dare?

"..."

In the private room, the two people who were the most reserved today were Xu Damao and Yu Haitang.

Especially Xu Damao, he never thought that the factory director would call him!

This is not like before, when we would show an internal movie before the leaders had their meals, and then we would sit at the same table and eat afterward.

He doesn't even show movies anymore...

The answer is very obvious. Xu Damao looked at Xu Dacan who was chatting and laughing with Deputy Director Nie at the table. There was satisfaction and pride in his eyes, but no jealousy.

What is there to be jealous of? Xu Damao is where he is today thanks to his younger brother.

What Xu Damao didn't know was that when he was frequently looking at Xu Dacan, Li Huaide was also looking at him.

Deputy Director Li also wanted to see what Xu Damao would think when he saw his brother being so successful.

But it's a pity...

It was the first time for Yu Haitang to have dinner with such high-level leaders.

She joined the factory in the second half of this year. Because of her good looks and outstanding voice, she stood out from a crowd of competitors and was admitted to the position of factory broadcaster.

After Yu Haitang joined the factory, she quickly captured the hearts of many single young men with her passionate and inspiring broadcasting style and was given the title of "Factory Flower".

This made her feel a little elated, especially in front of her sister Yu Li, she exuded a sense of superiority.

Look at the man her sister married! Yu Li's father-in-law was born into a small business family. He attended a private school for a few days and worked as a school administrator in an elementary school. He was not a serious teacher.

And her man, Yan Jiecheng, was a temporary worker in the thermos factory, not even a regular employee!

With so many family members crowded into a room converted from a private school, the couple didn’t even dare to be intimate at night. How could this be a normal life?

Yu Haitang had thought about it a long time ago. If she were to get married in the future, the man must be promising, capable, and have a good sense of humor.

Well, Xu Damao's younger brother Xu Dacan barely meets her standards.

Yu Haitang thought about how Deputy Director Li had asked her to be the tour guide yesterday and had specifically asked her once: "Comrade Xiao Yu, do you have a partner?"

Yu Haitang was a little shy at the time: "Report to Deputy Director Li, revolutionary work comes first, and love affairs come second."

Deputy Director Li was very satisfied with her awareness and advised: "On the road of revolution, we also need like-minded partners to work together. Xiao Yu, I want to introduce Comrade Xu Dacan from the small car team to you. Would you consider it?"

Yu Haitang never imagined that this Xu Dacan had such virtue and ability that Deputy Director Li could personally act as the matchmaker.

So when they met this afternoon, Yu Haitang originally wanted to make things difficult for Xu Dacan.

But unexpectedly, as soon as the two met, she was attracted by Xu Dacan's looks, and her worldview was involuntarily influenced by his facial features.

Many tricky and weird questions were useless. In the end, she only asked Xu Dacan one question: "Don't you think that playing cards have a lot of foreign content?"

Xu Dacan looked at Yu Haitang with some surprise at the time. Just like what was shown on TV, Yu Haitang pointed out "extreme xenophobia".

4. Calamities, it's time to act

She probably had three more words left to say, but it didn't matter. Xu Dacan didn't intend to argue with her too much, and said with good preparation: "The birthplace of poker is our country."
