When Xu Damao finished his painting, Lou Zhenhua and Pei Xinghua were still in a heated discussion.

Seeing this situation, Xu Damao carefully put the drawings in order and then slipped away immediately.

He didn't want to stay here and be conscripted by these two.

Xu Damao believed that after seeing his drawing skills, Pei Xinghua would definitely ask him for help.

After Xu Damao had been gone for more than half an hour, the two finally discovered what had happened.

"This kid didn't even say a word when he left. Is he afraid that I will continue to make him work overtime?"

At this time, Lou Zhenhua could only laugh and curse. Is it possible to get Xu Damao back?

Isn’t he afraid that Lou Xiaoe will not recognize him as her father?

“Haha, I guess he’s not afraid that you’ll ask him to work overtime, but he’s afraid that I’ll ask him to help draw the chassis blueprint.

To be honest, after seeing your son-in-law's drafting skills, the drawings made by my apprentices are really unbearable to look at!"

Holding the drawings drawn by Xu Damao, Pei Xinghua sighed.

"We will be working on the same project team from now on. If you need help, just ask him for it."

"That's true!"

......

Xu Damao, who has already left the Lou family, doesn't care about being targeted by two third-level engineers in the future.

Pei Xinghua is also a third-level engineer, and his research direction is still inclined towards weapons such as artillery and tanks.

Otherwise, he would not have been transferred here to work with Lou Zhenhua and Director Xiao.

When I returned to the courtyard, I met the second uncle Yan Bugui at the door.

"Second uncle, you're guarding the door again. You said both of you are working, but you're always guarding the door. Isn't that a bad idea?"

Xu Damao has a new understanding of this old guy's stingy nature.

This time, Jia Dongxu changed his position with just five dollars. So next time someone wants to deal with Xu Damao, can they also bring him down as long as the benefits are big enough?

It was also because of this incident that Xu Damao’s tone towards Yan Bugui was not very good this time.

After hearing Xu Damao's teasing, Yan Bugui knew that it was because he helped Jia Dongxu speak up, and that guy had a grudge against Xu Damao.

Moreover, the bad reputation of Xu Damao in the past was also due to Jia Zhang's contribution.

In this case, it is understandable that he would not give Jia Dongxu a good face after knowing that he helped him for five dollars.

"Well, Damao, Second Uncle is used to a hard life. Once this habit is formed, it is difficult to change.

But don't worry, I will try my best to change it in the future."

He knew a lot about Xu Damao's current situation through Yan Jiecheng.

It’s okay to say that there is a bright future.

Therefore, Yan Bugui cannot turn a deaf ear to Xu Damao's warning.

"There are more than 20 households in the courtyard, and your family's income ranks among the top three. If you still take advantage of your neighbors in the courtyard, it would be a bit too much.

In the past, everyone knew that as an elementary school teacher, your salary was not high, and you had to support a family of so many people, so no one said anything.

But now Jie Cheng also has a job, and it makes a lot of money.

In this situation, if you continue to take advantage of others, you will be stabbed in the back.”

Even if Yan Bugui's salary is less than 27.5 yuan per month, it's about right. Yan Jiecheng's salary is 80 yuan now, plus the extra money from being a projectionist, the Yan family only owes yuan per month, which is safe.

As a result, the only families in the entire courtyard with higher income than theirs are Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong.

Xu Damao's salary alone is more than 200 yuan, which is high enough.

Liu Haizhong is one of three employees in a family, and his total salary is more than 100 yuan.

Even if Liu Guangqi issued an order to divide the family property after marriage, his family's financial resources would not be poor.

"Uh, this?"

If you don't think about it, you won't know. Once you think about it, it's really the case.

In the entire courtyard, most of the families are single-income families, except for the eldest uncle Liu Haizhong's family and their family, which are dual-income families.

With so many employees, it goes without saying that their salaries will not be low.

In this case, if he tries to take advantage of others again, people may not say anything to his face, but they will definitely gossip about him behind his back and poke at his spine.

"Thank you Damao for reminding me, otherwise I really wouldn't have thought about this!"

This time, Yan Bugui expressed his gratitude sincerely.

If Xu Damao hadn't reminded him, he would not have noticed that his family's situation was actually one of the best in the Siheyuan.

In this case, it would be really unkind to calculate other people's onion sprouts, garlic sprouts, etc.

"You, please pay attention to yourself!"

Being able to recognize his own mistakes can be regarded as the conscience of Yan Bugui, a scholar.

On the way through the middle courtyard and back to the backyard, I didn't see any members of the Jia family. Even Qin Huairu, who had been standing by the pool washing clothes, didn't show up.

After thinking about it, I realized that this family probably went back to their hometown in the countryside to tell Jia Zhangshi the good news.

Xu Damao guessed correctly. At this time, Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu, and Bang Geng were at Jiajiazhuang, thirty miles west of the city.

Although only a few weeks had passed, Jia Zhang was obviously no longer as plump and white as she was in the courtyard.

In the countryside at this time of year, even in late autumn or winter, there is still a lot of work to be done.

Collecting manure to make fertilizer, threshing corn, taking care of livestock, etc., there is always work to do even in the middle of winter.

Moreover, in rural areas today, everyone works in a production team. If you don’t work, you won’t get any work points and you won’t have any food to eat.

Even Jia Zhang, who had lived in the city and seen the world, had to participate in labor.

Otherwise, those uncles, brothers, sisters-in-law who were offended by her in the past will not tolerate her.

Besides, the tricks she used to act like a spoiled brat in the courtyard wouldn't work in the countryside.

There are many rural women who are more aggressive than her, and no one will tolerate her.

"Dongxu, when can you let me go back? You can't just ignore me, I'm your mother. Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, these two bastards, don't you even let me spend a reunion year?"

As soon as they met, Jia Zhang asked Jia Dongxu when he would take her back to the courtyard.

She had had enough of this country place.

Moreover, they have not lived in the countryside for many years, and their old house has fallen into disrepair.

Even after some minor repairs for her to live in, it was still leaking everywhere.

It was okay in the autumn, but when winter came, Jia Zhang suffered a lot.

Even my hands and feet were covered with frostbite.

"Uncle One, Uncle Two has agreed to let me take you back to celebrate the New Year, but it has to be after the Little New Year..."
