Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

The monthly shipments were carried out in an orderly manner. Xu Damao felt that it was not safe enough, so he asked Guo Xiaosan to rent two safe houses. A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Safety always comes first. A house costs two dollars a month, which is worth spending.

At work, the troupe is rehearsing a new play. "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is scheduled for the first half of the year, and "Red Lantern" will be rehearsed in the second half.

"Teacher Xu, Teacher Yan, you guys should arrange the rehearsal for yourselves. If you need anything, please find Deputy Section Chief Wu and give us your full cooperation. This is also a major event for the Propaganda Department right now and we must pay attention to it."

Xu Damao never called Yan Zhen "Master's Wife" in front of others, but always called her "Teacher Yan". There were some taboos that Xu Damao had to avoid. Otherwise, someone with ulterior motives could still find some faults with him.

That's good. Yan Zhen certainly knew what Xu Damao meant, and so did Pu Su.

Back in the office, he drank tea and smoked as usual. Thinking that the factory was actually a little safer than the outside, Xu Damao felt much more at ease. Now the people related to him in the factory were all living well, and Xu Damao was very satisfied.

"Xu Damao, what are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, a question came from the door. Xu Damao saw Wu Lingjuan coming in uninvited, and he was particularly fond of catching him, Xu Damao's psychological activities, especially thinking that he was right to catch him. Where did Wu Lingjuan's self-confidence come from? Oh, yes, Xu Damao felt that he had spoiled her. Since he helped her write articles that year and knew Wu Lingjuan's family background, he had always spoiled this self-righteous woman.

But Xu Damao thought that it was fortunate that Wu Lingjuan looked ugly, otherwise if he had been tempted by her, he would be in dire straits now. Some people are really not to be offended, just like Yan Yikuan and Liu Chenglong.

"Wu Lingjuan, Deputy Section Chief Wu, can you knock on the door before you enter the office? When you speak to me out of the blue, it really makes me choke when I drink water." Xu Damao replied to Wu Lingjuan's soul-searching question with resentment.

"Besides, it's not against the law for me to think about my lovely wife at home during my break, right? How about you approve my temporary leave and I'll go back?"

"I see you don't want to be normal at all. You are just a playboy. I've caught you, right? Are you still pretending?"

Xu Damao was speechless for a while: Okay, okay, you are so powerful, I can't afford to offend you.

"What's up?"

"Well, that department needs to buy some office supplies. Please sign and hand it over to the factory office and ask them to purchase it for the department."

Xu Damao took the document Wu Lingjuan handed over, took a look at it, and found it was just some trivial things. He signed it, marked the date, and handed it back to Wu Lingjuan.

"By the way, Deputy Section Chief Wu, I'm going to learn about the situation outside these afternoons. I guess I'll go out for a stroll after lunch. You should focus on the factory's affairs. But there's actually not much to do in the section. If there's anything, just make a decision. If you can't make a decision, just go and talk to Director Li. I guess I'll be away for three days to do the research."

"I think you are just slacking off. Okay, I won't expose your tricks. Just treat me to a meal later." Wu Lingjuan turned and went out, leaving Xu Damao with another charming back.

"Damn, this woman is really a goblin if you don't look at her face." Xu Damao complained in his heart. It's true. Wu Lingjuan has a first-class figure except for her ugly face. However, compared with Gu Meifang and Fang Xiaoru in his mind, she is still a little bit worse. This is one of the reasons why Xu Damao is so calm in front of Wu Lingjuan. Another reason is that Xu Damao is on the economic route, not the official route.

The positioning must be accurate, and he knows exactly what his identity is. Being able to live a relaxed and happy life in the Red Star Factory in the storm is what Xu Damao should do.

Just when he wanted to stand quietly and practice his inner strength, there was another knock on the door. Xu Damao saw the announcer Yu Haitang standing at the door, "Haitang, what's up? Come in and talk."

Yu Haitang walked into the room timidly, "Xu Damao, can't you consider me...?" She asked this irrelevant question without any reason.

"Yu Haitang, don't go to other posts casually during working hours. There is one more thing. Your sister, brother-in-law and I have already said this. I won't say some things to save your face. Don't think about it. You can go back to work if you have nothing to do."

This was not the first time Yu Haitang had asked Xu Damao about this. Xu Damao was getting annoyed. This was one of the reasons why Xu Damao rarely interacted with He Yuzhu. Yu Haitang still thought that she could control Xu Damao.

Xu Damao didn't care about Yu Haitang's mood. His standing meditation was interrupted, so he simply locked the office door, went downstairs, rode his bicycle, and headed straight out of the factory. It would be better to go home and have some peace and quiet for a while.

The weather was getting warmer, but the streets were still filled with a strong revolutionary atmosphere. From time to time, a large group of people would shout slogans and even march with banners. Big-character posters were pasted on the walls along the way, like dog-skin plasters, very conspicuous and hideous.

Xu Damao hurried home, "Meifang, I'm back. Is there any food at home? I won't go to work today."

"Boss, why are you back today? Okay, let's just make dumplings for lunch. We have some meat filling and dough. It will be quick. Just wait."

"You can eat anything. Let's just keep it simple. Just make some meat patties or some porridge."

Gu Meifang went to work with her big belly, and soon she heard the kitchen calling for lunch.

Meat pie with wine and some millet porridge. It is very good for the stomach.

"Da Mao, if you have time in a few days, please accompany me to the health center for a physical check-up. I feel that my belly is a little too big for the month, which is not normal."

"Okay, why don't we go later? I'm not going to work today anyway, and the factory is actually a mess."

Gu Meifang did not hesitate and agreed to go for a physical check-up in the afternoon. She was a mother of two, and her belly was indeed not as big as it is now at five months, so she was afraid to live a family life now.

You won't know until you check. Once you check, you'll be shocked. Gu Meifang is actually blaming the twins. No wonder her belly is so big. That's why.

After Xu Damao settled Gu Meifang, he immediately went to Qi's house.

"Mom, what have you been busy with lately? I have something to discuss with you."

After listening to Xu Damao's report, Xu's mother immediately followed Xu Damao to Dongsishitiao.

After asking about his daughter-in-law's situation, he immediately agreed to come over every day to cook lunch for Gu Meifang and do housework. That is to say, starting from tomorrow, Gu Meifang cannot be left alone at home and must be looked after at all times.

Xu Damao had no objection, but Gu Meifang felt a little embarrassed. She didn't have any big problems, and it was a bit shameless to let her mother-in-law come to serve her.

It was Xu Damao who made the final decision.

"Meifang, mom is here to accompany you when we are at work, and she will go back in the evening, after all, she has to take care of my dad there. I try to get off work early every day, so that you will be safer. It won't take too long, I estimate it will be over in four months at most. You should give birth in August. I will discuss it with Senior Brother in a few days and let Zhiyu come and live here, so that you two can have a chance to talk to each other. Sister-in-law and my mother will take turns to look after you. It's good."

With great vigor and determination, within a few days, Xu Damao discussed with Zhang Tengyun and Zhang Zhigang and Chen Zhiyu moved to the courtyard of Dongsishitiao. There were plenty of rooms.
