Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

"Da Mao, your hand skills are pretty good."

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao drank together, talked about everything and boasted.

Originally, Xu Damao came to pay New Year's greetings to He Yuzhu, and also to see if there were any thieves targeting his yard. There were mountains of gold and silver hidden in the house in the backyard.

It's solid as a rock, no problem. But I still have to come and check it once or twice a week.

"Brother Zhuzi, Yu Li, you are the best. Jianxin and Jianmei are both grown up now. If they give birth to a big fat boy next year, you won't have to worry about not being able to feed him as a cook. Right? By the way, how is sister Yushui now? I haven't seen her for a long time."

"The Yu Shui couple just came here yesterday. They gave birth to a girl, and the mother-in-law was not happy about it, so they are planning to have another one this year. It's okay, their cotton mill is also a big one, and the welfare benefits are not worse than ours. By the way, Damao, Yu Li's sister didn't look for you, right?" He Yuzhu glanced at Yu Li when he asked this.

"Brother Damao, don't listen to Zhuzi's nonsense. My sister is a bit naive right now, ignore her."

Xu Damao smiled, "Yu Li, to be honest, if it weren't for you, I could really be a couple with Haitang, but Haitang is too familiar to me, and I, a second-married man, can't bring myself to do it. I always treat her like rain, like a sister. But after the Spring Festival, I plan to remarry. I'll find someone in the countryside who is obedient and well-behaved. I'll invite you to have a meal together and meet each other. And take care of each other in the future."

"Da Mao, it's so fast, what if Xiao'e comes back?"

"Yu Li, Xiao'e and I are divorced. I don't even know where she went. She also abducted Xu Jun and his two siblings. I want to know where she went. My parents scolded me on New Year's Eve." Xu Damao picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, looking indignant.

Xu Damao actually deliberately conveyed his dissatisfaction with the Lou family and the information of remarriage to He Yuzhu. He believed that within a few days, He Yuzhu would convey it to Liu Lan, and Liu Lan would convey it to Li Huaide, so as to clear the suspicion on him and make his life easier in the factory.

Of course, wishing He Yuzhu a happy new year must be full of sincerity.

After drinking, they stayed in the backyard. It was very comfortable, but there was no heating stove in the house. Even with a quilt and a mattress, Xu Damao still felt cold and almost caught a cold. It was really cold that day.

On the last day of the holiday, Xu Damao went to see Fang Xiaoru. When he got there, Fang Xiaoru was not at home. He had no choice but to throw the things he brought directly into the yard from the wall. Anyway, there were no glass bottles. It was not easy to come here, and he was not afraid of dropping the things he brought. Xu Damao was very particular about his visit.

In fact, Xu Damao didn't know that something had happened to Fang Xiaoru's parents. Some people in the Tsinghua dormitory wanted to take Fang's father and mother away for questioning, and Fang Xiaoru was resisting with force.

Fortunately, Fang Xiaoru was there. Fang Xiaoru was not afraid of those wearing shoes even if they were barefoot. He held a kitchen knife in his hand and confronted them with his eyes wide open, and finally scared off the group of student soldiers.

In fact, Fang's father's kung fu was much stronger than Fang Xiaoru's, but Professor Fang was unwilling to fight with force. As blood relatives, Fang Xiaoru could not let her parents be insulted by a group of students, so she had to stand up herself.

After settling my parents, I dragged my tired and hurt mind back to the yard where I lived. I found a big bag of things lying in the yard.

Fang Xiaoru unpacked the package and roughly guessed that Xu Damao must have been there. She really missed Xu Damao and really wished that Xu Damao was by her side now so that she could discuss how to solve her parents' problem.

In fact, the next day, Fang Xiaoru called Room 207 of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Xu Damao also received the call. He and Wu Lingjuan took leave in the afternoon and rushed over.

"Sister Fang, I think why don't you ask your parents to ask the school to send them to the countryside? I'll arrange for them to go to the countryside in the suburbs. I have some connections in the village there, so it won't be too difficult for your parents. Why don't you go and discuss it with your parents? If it's possible, I'll go to the countryside right away to contact them and settle them down."

"Is this okay? Where are we going?"

"Well, it's not far. It's in the countryside of Haidian, only a few dozen miles away from the city. The village chief there has a good relationship with me. As for me, I won't lie to you. I got the village chief's son into our factory a few years ago, so he's easy to talk to. I can also find a place to live there. It depends on your parents' opinions. Sometimes, intellectuals can be more conservative, especially those of you who study science and engineering, who are not good at adapting. You still need to solve this ideological work. As for whether it will succeed, I'm not sure, what if it succeeds. Right?"

"Okay, I'll give it a try. You're right, my dad is a bit stubborn. But this time it's not certain. His students reported him, and he was a little upset. I'll give it a try and try to convince him."

Fang Xiaoru left immediately, and Xu Damao also left. Along the way, he was still thinking that if Fang's parents were willing to go to Baishui Village, he must find a way to protect these two intellectuals. Even if it costs him a little, it is worth it.

Things turned out as Fang Xiaoru had expected. Fang's father agreed and also asked Fang Xiaoru's younger brother Fang Junru, who was not yet married, to apply to go to the countryside. After several twists and turns, the G Committee of Tsinghua University agreed to the request and issued a certificate for the transfer to work in Baishui Village, Haidian District according to the predetermined plan.

Xu Damao and Fang Xiaoru accompanied them to Baishui Village and settled down in Gu Meifang's home.

There was no other way. Xu Damao asked Gu Meifang to get a marriage certificate in the village. It was impossible to hide it from Fang Xiaoru, so the three of them would return together.

"Xu Damao, are you planning to remarry?"

"Well, yes, now you know her, Gu Meifang, I am lucky enough to have found a gold brick. Meifang is three years older than me, and her son is my apprentice, a movie projectionist."

Gu Meifang didn't feel embarrassed, but Fang Xiaoru was a little embarrassed. She cursed Xu Damao countless times in her heart: shameless, hooligan, bad seed, scum... She used all the words she could use. Fortunately, for the sake of settling her parents and younger brother, she didn't curse him out loud. But after returning to Kyoto City, Fang Xiaoru left alone.

Xu Damao didn't mind, and he and Gu Meifang went directly to the Civil Affairs Section of the Street Office to go through the marriage procedures. He also took Gu Meifang to the No. 95 compound to show their faces before returning to their residence at Dongshishi Street.

The pace is like this, the mother must get married before the daughter can get married. Xu Damao also informed Zhang Tengyun's family that his mother-in-law is now marrying him, Xu Damao.

In March, Zhang Zhigang and Chen Zhiyu had their wedding, and they had a meal together at home. Zhang Zhigang was arranged to stay in the east wing, occupying two rooms. Zhang Yanyun was taken back to No. 88 Courtyard by Guo Sulan. This little hottie was very angry, but fortunately, Zhang Yanyun also got the marriage certificate soon and moved to live in the tube building.

This new year brought three more happy events for Xu Damao.

Hey, there's another happy event.

Before May Day, Li Huaide specifically sought out Xu Damao for a drink in the canteen and announced that Xu Damao would take charge of the factory's propaganda department again. He gave him the title of deputy director of the factory's G Committee, mainly to help Li Huaide handle external affairs.

Xu Damao didn't know whether this could be considered a happy occasion, but he had to take the offer.

Well, Xu Damao took the opportunity to arrange Chen Zhiyu into the factory logistics department, starting as a temporary warehouse manager.

Zhang Zhigang and Chen Zhiyu go to and from get off work together perfectly.
