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

Isn't this a coincidence? Li Huaide had to be beaten for molesting women, and Xu Dacan had to rescue him in time at the critical moment, so that true friendship could be tested in times of adversity.

Sure enough, around nine o'clock in the morning, Zhao Guoqing put down what he was doing and said to Xu Dacan, "Stop working and go get your salary."

It was not until today that Xu Dacan found out that cadres and employees receive separate salaries.

The employees were on the second floor, queuing up in a line that was so long it reached the pond at the bottom of the building.

As for the cadres, they went directly to the 4th floor without having to queue up. They received the envelopes with their names written on them and left.

Before Zhao Guoqing went upstairs, he comforted Xu Dacan: "Work hard and try to get a permanent job as soon as possible. You can do it, kid. I believe in you!"

"..."

Xu Dacan was standing in the queue to get his salary. He finally made it from the first floor to the corner of the stairs. When he saw the person in front of him who was responsible for distributing salaries, he was delighted: it was Xu Damao!

What’s even more coincidental is that Qin Huairu was standing in line three people in front of Xu Dacan.

The two people in front of him were still teasing her: "Paying wages in advance makes some people happy while others are sad. You are happy, but ask Qin Huairu if she is happy?"

Qin Huairu said without even turning her head: "I am happy now, but after the New Year, I won't be able to make ends meet. How can I be happy?"

She really doesn't care about her face, and doesn't care how many people are around. She is so bold!

The two workers who had just teased her stopped immediately. How could they dare to say anything? Besides, Qin Huairu asked them for money, should she lend it to them or not?

Fortunately, it was Qin Huairu's turn to receive her salary soon.

Xu Damao glanced at her and shouted, "Next, Qin Huairu."

When Qin Huairu came to the table, he pretended to take a look at the report, then squinted his eyes and said loudly: "Qin Huairu, twenty-seven dollars and fifty cents."

Qin Huairu glanced at Xu Damao, and her expression did not change at all. She said "oh" to herself, signed her name with a pen, and then took the money from the female comrade next to her.

The two people who had teased her before whispered again: "Why did she only get 27 yuan?"

"I don't have enough years of service, so I'm here to replace you."

"..."

Finally, Xu Dacan's name was called.

"Next, Xu Dacan."

Xu Dacan smiled and walked forward, winking at Damao. Damao didn't even bother to mention that he had a salary, and directly handed him the form: "Sign."

Xu Dacan signed his name and took the salary from the woman next to him.

Then Xu Damao said to him: "Don't spend your first month's salary recklessly."

Xu Dacan gave him a look that said "don't worry", then turned and went downstairs.

There were still many people queuing downstairs waiting to receive their wages, but what Xu Dacan didn't expect was that Qin Huairu hadn't left yet.

As soon as she saw him, she walked over and said affectionately, "That Xiao Xu."

As the saying goes, "Don't hit someone who smiles at you." Qin Huairu was willing to be friendly, so Xu Dacan smiled back at her: "Sister Qin."

Qin Huairu glanced at the crowd, hesitated for a moment, and said to him: "Xiao Xu, can you come with me? I want to discuss something with you."

The look in Qin Huairu's eyes and demeanor when she said this reminded Xu Dacan of the group of "adopted sons" in the university dormitory who borrowed money from him at the end of the month...

He and Qin Huairu came to the side, and as expected, he heard her hesitantly say, "Xiao Xu, you are living in Xu Damao's house now, and you don't need to spend much money. It's almost the end of the year, and Banggeng School is asking for tuition again. Can you lend me 5 yuan? I will pay you back when I get my salary next month."

Qin Huairu's appetite is neither too big nor too small. The 5 yuan she borrowed is neither too much nor too little.

It was precisely because of this that Xu Dacan would not lend her the money. If he lent it to her, the 5 yuan would be wasted.

Xu Dacan gave the money directly to Lou Xiaoe: "Is that so? But Sister Qin, I have promised my sister-in-law that I will give my monthly salary directly to her and she will save it for me to marry a wife. Why don't you go back to her after get off work?"

Qin Huairu was furious again. It was obvious that this little bastard didn't want to lend it to her!

Is Lou Xiao'e an easy person to get along with? If she could borrow money from Lou Xiao'e, she would have done so long ago!

Everyone in the yard knew that Lou Xiao'e was the daughter of a big capitalist and that her family was extremely wealthy. These people in the yard, like Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong, etc., had thought about Lou Xiao'e before, but that woman was too good at rejecting people!

They were speechless after just a few words.

"..."

There is an unwritten rule in the factory: paying wages in advance is equivalent to giving employees a holiday.

Even in the 90s, state-owned enterprises would delay paying year-end bonuses until the afternoon of the th or the morning of the th day of the twelfth lunar month. Otherwise, who would still work after employees received the money? They would simply give themselves a holiday!

Xu Dacan returned to the bike class, locked the toolbox, and rode away on his bike.

Zhao Guoqing came back angrily and cursed: "This little rascal, he ran so fast."

After scolding him, Ma Qiang came back and told him: "Put away all the tools that need to be put away, return all the tools that need to be returned to the warehouse, and clean up the place when you're done. Go!"

After saying that, he locked the toolbox and rode away on his bike.

Ma Qiang was the only one left, and he started scolding them both, jumping up and down!

But after scolding, I can only roll up my sleeves helplessly...

"..."

Xu Dacan left the factory and rode his bike straight to Di'anmen Department Store.

He planned to buy a gift for Liu Yueru, which would also be a token of their love.

The Di'anmen Department Store at that time was a bit shabby, with only one floor in total. At first glance, it looked like a wholesale market from the 1990s.

In this era, "Laodibai" is the undisputed big brother.

The goods inside are dazzling, covering all the goods of this era.

It can be said that if you can’t buy it here, you won’t be able to buy it anywhere else, even in Shanghai’s “Hai Da Fu”, it’s so amazing!

People of this age are reserved and introverted, and will not express their emotions too directly.

Young men would not give young women flowers, jewelry, or bags; Xu Dacan planned to give Liu Yueru a gold pen.

这时的文具都算不上便宜，铅笔都要6毛6一支，钢笔更是要1块零7分钱一支，而许大灿要送的金笔更是要3块8毛9分钱一支！

The so-called gold pen is actually an "iridium pen". The brands sold in this era are mainly "Venus, Hero, and Eternal Life".

Xu Dacan bought an ivory-white Hero fountain pen. On the pen cap was the arrow familiar to countless people born in the 1970s and 1980s!

Na

The color chosen is milky white. The reason for choosing this color is that girls have no resistance to this fresh and clean color. It is a "girl-killing color" in the fountain pen world.

When I was paying, the elderly saleswoman smiled like an auntie: "Young man, are you buying this pen as a gift for your significant other? You have good taste!"
