Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

"Hey, good luck to the Third Master."

"Master Li, good luck in the Year of the Sheep."

"Happy Chinese New Year, Auntie."

"Hey, Brother Zhuzi, Sister Yushui, Happy Chinese New Year."

……

Xu Damao greeted everyone he met, and he spent the Spring Festival roaming around Courtyard 95 while greeting people. In addition to standing at home, he occasionally went out for a run.

On the first day off after work, he took the initiative to ask the eldest daughter of the Lou family to go to the Temple of Heaven Park, and used his professional historical knowledge to explain the knowledge of the Temple of Heaven Park to Lou Xiaoe.

Many places in Kyoto are demolishing old city walls and ancient city towers. For the development of Kyoto, the old buildings that were in the way are being demolished. Although Xu Damao, like Master Liang and Master Lin, feels it is a pity, he is powerless to change the situation. This is not something he can control.

We can only watch them being demolished. Xi'anmen and Dong'anmen have already been demolished, and Xizhimen and Dongzhimen will be demolished soon.

Hey……

Just take care of yourself.

He took Lou Xiao'e to Donglaishun to eat mutton hotpot, and then escorted her back to the Lou family's small Western-style building before returning to the courtyard.

The marriage of Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao is basically clear. Lou Xiao'e should get married.

Xu Damao himself thinks so.

I'm in a good mood. I was thinking that I didn't have the capital to make a living at this early stage, but now I have a rich wife. It's so nice to think about this good thing.

After the Spring Festival, the task of showing movies in the countryside was surprisingly tight.

Xu Damao actually spends five of his six working days showing movies in the countryside.

At least it’s not too remote.

Going to the countryside more often has its benefits. During the Spring Festival, you can receive gifts when you go there. Every village will give you some benefits, and you can buy them with your own money. You will always get something when you go there every week.

In February, Xu Damao went to three villages under the hot spring township to show movies, and he truly awakened the skills of the widow harvester.

After showing movies in the hot spring town for a long time, he met a young widow in the village. She looked even more like Qin Huairu than him, and he fell in love with her.

Xu Damao's physique also awakened the young widow's restless heart. The two hit it off immediately.

The widow's maiden name was Gu and her husband's surname was Chen. She had a son and a daughter. Her husband's uncles and brothers were busy taking care of themselves, so how could they have the energy to take care of an orphan like her and a widow.

This was a good opportunity for Xu Damao to take advantage of. Xu Damao was not the type to deny his debts, and he left 50,000 yuan to support Gu Gu. Of course, Gu Gu was not bad either, and she gave Xu Damao many dried mountain products from her home. Xu Damao did not lose out this time.

While Xu Damao was showing movies in the countryside, the Red Star Steel Mill in the city was quietly undergoing major changes.

The public-private partnership was completely straightened out, and Lou Zhenhua, the private party, almost completely withdrew from the management of the steel mill, leaving only the position of director and not participating in all the affairs of the Red Star Mill. Director Wang, who was also the secretary, retired after completing his mission, and the ministry sent a new director and deputy director to the Red Star Steel Mill. The director's surname was Yang, and he was in charge of production, product supply, finance, etc. The deputy director's surname was Li, and he was in charge of logistics, security, publicity, etc.

Deputy Factory Director Li was originally the Director of the Logistics Department, Li Huaide. In fact, Section Chief Li of the Propaganda Department was Li Huaide's cousin. It's just that most people in the factory don't know it.

Xu Damao knows, this is the golden finger.

For Xu Damao, it was almost a spoiler. Li Huaide, who had a strong background, knew how to use people, was capable and courageous, had gone through many ups and downs, and was still active on the historical stage of the 1980s. This kind of person should not be offended, but only befriended to maximize the benefits.

It was only after Xu Damao came back from meeting the widow Gu that he learned about the big event that had taken place in the factory.

He immediately went to the office of Chief Li of the Propaganda Department.

"Chief, I'm back from the countryside. I'd like to report my work to you."

"Xiao Xu, thank you for your hard work. You have been busy since the Spring Festival. No one has replaced you in the job of showing movies. Those who are capable should work harder. The organization sees this."

"It's not hard, it's serving the people. Look, I went to a hot spring resort this time and bought two dried rabbits in the countryside. I'll send one over for you to try."

Section Chief Li was also happy when he saw the big dried hare wrapped in newspaper. How could he not be happy when his subordinates flattered him?

"Da Mao, I feel embarrassed that you are so busy and still think of bringing me something."

"Hey, Chief, that's nothing. It's just a dried hare. It's not worth much in the countryside. I just found it. I'll find you something good when I have the chance."

Xu Damao successfully signed the reimbursement form, filed the bill with the finance department, and returned to his own document room. After finishing his work, he stood in the document room for another hour before going to the factory bathhouse to take a shower. He waited for the announcement "We Workers Have Power" to sound before leisurely riding his public bicycle home from get off work.

This kid lives a fulfilling life.

Before the supply system was implemented, Xu Damao used almost all his money to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives and exchanged all the money for brown sugar, salt, and White Rabbit candy. Unfortunately, the amount was too little. He even shamelessly borrowed 100 million yuan from his family to barely exchange for 50 kilograms of brown sugar, 100 kilograms of salt, 10 kilograms of White Rabbit candy, as well as kilograms of cooking oil and a piece of cotton cloth. This matter had to be done quietly and not in a big way, so he didn't even tell Xu Fugui at home. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives knew about it, it would easily cause trouble.

Sure enough, with the emergence of food coupons, everything began to have tickets.

As soon as May passed, a general meeting of the entire courtyard was held in Courtyard No. 95.

The three old men were still standing in a triangle shape in the middle courtyard.

"Dear neighbors, dear neighbors, we have received a notice from the subdistrict office and relevant departments at higher levels. This year, the supply system will be implemented. From now on, everyone will have to use their food books and tickets to buy grain, oil, and meat. Therefore, the subdistrict office requires everyone to pay attention to the validity period of the food books and tickets. If you have a unit, you can get the tickets from the unit. If you don't have a unit, you can get them from the subdistrict office at your discretion. Keep them well and make good calculations. Now is a difficult period for the country. Everyone should understand and overcome the current difficulties.

Also, starting from March this year, the country has issued new banknotes. From now on, everyone can go to the bank to exchange new money on their own. The exchange rate is 100:1, that is, the original yuan is equivalent to one yuan in the future. You can also report to the financial department of the unit in advance and have the unit exchange it uniformly. This work will be completed before the end of the year. I hope everyone will not forget this matter. This is a big matter that concerns everyone and every family. Please believe in the organization and the country. Let me give you an example here. Dongxu's mother, at the time of liberation, when the country asked the old currency to be exchanged for the new currency, due to personal reasons, missed the exchange time and suffered a great loss. A large number of gold yuan coupons became waste paper. I hope everyone will learn from it. "

"You are so good, Yi Zhonghai. This happened several years ago, and you are still laughing at me. My old Jia is gone now, and my Jia family will let you bully the children."

"Sister Jia, I'm just reminding you. If the country asks you to change, you should do it on time, otherwise it will be too late if you suffer a loss."

Under the persuasion of her son Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhangshi did not say anything else.

Xu Damao's pockets were empty now, just enough to get through to the end of the month to get his salary, so it didn't matter whether he changed or not. He had already prepared everything that needed to be prepared at home.

However, this ticket system and supply system had a great impact on many residents of the Siheyuan, especially the Jia family in the middle courtyard. Currently, only Jia Dongxu has an urban hukou in the Jia family, while Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu, and one-year-old Banggeng all have rural hukou.

This time, Jia Dongxu has suffered a lot. The good show of No. 95 Courtyard has slowly begun to unfold. Yi Zhonghai's attention and love for love are all supported by readers, which is wonderful.
