Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Xu Damao said with a proud look on his face: "We projectionists are skilled workers. Not just anybody can do this job."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "It seems like we cooks can do anything, right?"

"Xu Damao, I really don't know where you get the confidence to show off your superiority in front of me. In the factory, I am the deputy director of the cafeteria, and you are just an ordinary employee."

"In the courtyard, I am the third uncle in charge, and you are just an ordinary resident. I can always beat you up. What do you have to be proud of?"

Xu Damao's face was gloomy, and he stiffened his neck and said: "At least I have a fair-skinned and beautiful wife, but you are just a bachelor."

He Yuzhu said disdainfully: "So what if you have a wife? You haven't had a son or daughter for so many years. It's better to have no wife than to have one."

Xu Damao gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I don't have children, I'm better than you. At least I've tasted women, and you've even touched a woman's hand."

"You big fool, who told you that I have never even touched a woman's hand?" He Yuzhu's face was full of sweetness.

Seeing this, Xu Damao's expression froze and he blurted out, "Shazhu, do you have a girlfriend?"

He Yuzhu restrained his expression and said coldly: "It's none of your business."

Xu Damao said with disdain: "Tsk, you want to have a girlfriend even if you are this badass? Maybe in the next life!"

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Haha, I'm now the deputy director of the cafeteria, with a salary of over 100 yuan a month. If I want a woman, it's just a matter of waving my finger!"

At this time, Bai Feng ran out and said unhappily, "What are you two talking about? Come in quickly."

Xu Damao said flatteringly, "Secretary Bai, I'll be in right away."

After entering the compound, Secretary Bai instructed: "Xu Damao, wait here for a while. I will take Deputy Director He to the kitchen first."

Xu Damao nodded and bowed, "Secretary Bai, you go ahead!"

Bai Feng nodded slightly, turned to He Yuzhu and said, "Deputy Director He, please follow me!"

He Yuzhu smiled faintly and said, "Secretary Bai, thank you for your help!"

Soon, He Yuzhu followed Bai Feng into the kitchen.

Bai Feng instructed again: "Deputy Director He, the leaders are in a meeting now, and we will watch a movie later. You have to manage your time well."

He Yuzhu nodded slightly, "Secretary Bai, don't worry, I will manage the time well!"

"Okay then, I'll leave the kitchen to you!"

Bai Feng nodded slightly, turned and left the kitchen.

When Bai Feng arrived at the compound, he saw Xu Damao looking around with a sly look in his eyes, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Bai Feng's eyes flashed with displeasure, and he said in a deep voice: "Xu Damao, stop looking around, and follow me."

"Secretary Bai, I'll be right there."

Xu Damao picked up the projector and followed happily.

Soon, Secretary Bai took Xu Damao to a relatively large room.

"Xu Damao, just play the movie in this room. Install the equipment first. The leaders will come to watch the movie after the meeting."

Xu Damao said firmly: "Secretary Bai, don't worry, I will never delay the leader's movie. Excuse me, which movie does the leader want to watch?"

Bai Feng said calmly: "The leader has his own film. I will give it to you later. You just need to show it."

"I understand!" Xu Damao then whispered, "Secretary Bai, I want to ask, whose leader's home is this?"

Bai Feng's face darkened instantly, and he said in a cold voice: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. You are just here to show a movie, just do your job well, don't ask questions, it will do you no good!"

"Secretary Bai is right. It's all my fault for my damn curiosity!" Xu Damao apologized hurriedly.

"There's a saying in the West that curiosity kills the cat!"

Bai Feng said this coldly, then turned and left.

in the kitchen.

He Yuzhu looked at the extremely familiar furnishings and felt as if he was in a dream.

He Yuzhu collected his thoughts and began to look at the ingredients on the chopping board: pork elbow, pork belly, tenderloin, chicken breast, tofu, carrots, green peppers, black fungus, garlic sprouts...

He Yuzhu grinned and said, "This leader is indeed a Sichuan cuisine lover. He prepared all the ingredients for Sichuan cuisine."

He Yuzhu remembered that he still had plenty of time, so he pulled over a stool by the door, sat down on it, and began to read leisurely.

After a while, a middle-aged woman with outstanding temperament walked in. Seeing He Yuzhu reading attentively, her brows slightly frowned.

"What are you reading, young man?"

He Yuzhu looked up and saw that the person coming was the big leader’s wife, Liu Fangchun. He had always called her Aunt Liu in his previous life.

He Yuzhu smiled gently and answered truthfully: "Hello, Auntie! I'm reading the Chinese textbook distributed by our night school."

Liu Fangchun grinned and chuckled, "Young man, I didn't expect you to be so ambitious and still attending night school."

He Yuzhu touched the back of his head and smiled innocently: "Auntie, you are too kind! The leader said that we should keep learning until we die. I have to follow his example..."

Liu Fangchun chuckled and said, "You have a high level of ideological awareness, but don't forget your job."

He Yuzhu raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said confidently: "Don't worry, Auntie, there is still plenty of time and it won't delay the work."

Liu Fangchun accidentally saw the sesame paste on the table and asked in confusion: "Did you bring this sesame paste?"

"Yeah!" He Yuzhu nodded slightly.

Liu Fangchun frowned and asked, "Does Sichuan cuisine need sesame paste?"

He Yuzhu smiled and explained: "There are many schools of Sichuan cuisine. Some chefs like to use sesame paste, while some don't."

Although Liu Fangchun had some doubts, he didn't say much.

"Young man, I'm leaving first. Please pay attention to the time and don't delay the leaders' meal."

He Yuzhu said politely: "Don't worry, Auntie, I know what's going on. Take care, Auntie!"

Liu Fangchun left the kitchen and went straight to Xu Damao's room.

At this time, Xu Damao was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette, looking like a big boss.

Liu Fangchun frowned and said in a deep voice, "Comrade, smoking is not allowed in this room."

Seeing this, Xu Damao quickly put out his cigarette and apologized, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I didn't know that smoking is not allowed in this room."

Seeing that the other party had already apologized, Liu Fangchun did not want to be aggressive anymore and said in a deep voice, "Have you finished all the preparations? The leaders will be here soon."

"Don't worry, everything is ready. As long as the leader arrives, the movie can start immediately."

"Auntie, I am the most skilled projectionist in the steel mill. You can call me anytime you want to watch a movie," Xu Damao said flatteringly.

Liu Fangchun's expression eased slightly, and he said calmly, "Will that be too much trouble for you?"

"No trouble, no trouble. It is my honor to serve you..."

Although Xu Damao is a bad person, he has a really good tongue. Before long, a smile appeared on Liu Fangchun's face.
