Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

Zheng Yongjun is upright, and Wu Lingjuan is even more straightforward, so the matter is settled.

Xu Damao only learned about Wu Lingjuan’s arrangement when he started working after the Lantern Festival.

"Here, these are the wine and cigarettes you asked for. I won't need to thank you for the flowers." When Wu Lingjuan came to work, she immediately put two bottles of Wuliangye and a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes on Xu Damao's desk.

"what's going on?"

"My relationship with Zheng Yongjun is basically settled, thanks to you as the matchmaker. I heard from my Yongjun that you have to call him "brother-in-law", so I will be your sister-in-law from now on. Why don't you let me know in advance today?"

Fierce, indeed. Wu Lingjuan is even more fierce than Xiaoru. Amazing. I admire her.

"Wu Lingjuan, I'm not losing out by calling you my sister-in-law. Look at the two bottles of Wuliangye on the table, 11.6 yuan, and a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, 7.8 yuan, which is a month's salary for a temporary worker. Sister-in-law, please take care of me in the future. The more cigarettes and good wine left at home, the better. As long as you give them to me, I will accept them with pleasure."

Xu Damao was very happy for Zheng Yongjun.

It’s amazing, Wu Lingjuan is a towering tree.

"When are you going to do it? I want to prepare a gift."

"Maybe May Day. No one mentioned that. Gift? Okay, get me a sewing machine."

"Wu Lingjuan, you are such a tigress, who would give such a big gift for a wedding? Will you be able to pay it back in the future?"

"As long as you dare to give it to me, I can pay it back."

"Okay, fine, then the sewing machine. It's only about a hundred dollars. That's it."

On March 3, Fang Junru’s wedding was held in Baishui Village, Wenquan Commune.

The wedding house was built on the land approved by Village Chief Chen for Fang Junru. It was built last year. Although it is not large, it only occupies 120 square meters, with 80 square meters for the house and 40 square meters for the yard. It is a two-story, two-room house with a 10-square-meter kitchen next to it. It is very practical and beautiful.

Professor Fang and his wife still live in Gu Meifang's house. The new house is the wedding house for Fang Junru and Cao Jiaying, the youngest daughter of the commune secretary, who graduated from high school and teaches at the commune middle school. This is Professor Fang's own decision. The couple and the new daughter live separately, saving a lot of trouble and conflicts. After all, Professor Fang and his wife are now You faction elements, and the commune secretary knows about this. The degree of punishment can be reduced, and you must not give yourself a handle.

The wedding was relatively low-key, with only five tables set up in Baishui Village.

Fang Aieru and his wife, Fang Xiaoru, Xu Damao, and Fang Yiru and his wife went to Baishui Village to attend the wedding. There were three tables of people from the bride's family, one from Baishui Village and one from the groom's relatives. The banquet had eight dishes, which was decent.

Only then did Xu Damao know that Yunze and Fang Airu were both highly educated people. Yunze worked as a technical engineer at the Kyoto Chemical Experimental Plant, and Fang Airu was originally a teacher at Dongcheng Middle School. Later, they were transferred to the chemical plant school as mathematics teachers. They now have three children, two sons and a daughter.

Fang Yiru is two years younger than Fang Xiaoru. After graduating from university, she was assigned to the Second Machinery Factory, where she fell in love with Xin Xin, a technician. They now have a daughter and a son.

No wonder they were not implicated by Professor Fang. They were all technical backbones in the factory, so the impact was small. Fortunately, Professor Fang volunteered to go to the countryside to work early, so he was considered to be a conscious group.

Xu Damao also felt the relief of Fang's parents at the banquet. Now his family was finally at peace and not suffering too much.

"Xiaoru, mom is worried about you now. It would be great if you also had a stable family." Xu Damao listened carefully when Fang's mother talked to Fang Xiaoru.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. Although I don't have classes now, I can support myself by doing odd jobs. My elder sister and elder brother are far away from the city center now, and their lives are relatively peaceful. You, my dad and I will take care of your health here first. I believe that one day you will be able to display your talents and contribute to the country. So, eat when you are needed and drink when you are needed, because your health is the capital of revolution."

At night, Xu Damao still found the village chief Chen, "Old Chen, we have known each other for so many years, and I am also the son-in-law of Baishui Village. I will think of you when I have good things. Do you want the cloth?"

"Cadre Xu, how could I not want it? I know you have enough resources. What the village lacks most is cloth, and there are also things that require industrial coupons. It's not easy to do business in the countryside."

"It's really hard for me to get other things, but I can get cloth. Of course, Old Chen, let's be honest and don't mess up the rules of the supply and marketing cooperative. I'll get two or three pieces of various cloth for the village, and you can give a little extra to the villagers as welfare, okay? That way you can still maintain your prestige in the village!"

"Okay, okay, I'll do it."

"Okay, I'll go back and find a way to send it to you. As for Professor Fang, I think you should take care of him, Old Chen. Not to mention that they are now the in-laws of the commune secretary, who knows if they will be reinstated one day, right? After all, the old couple are high-level intellectuals."

"Don't worry, I understand this. Our Baishui Village is mainly composed of the descendants of the Chen family. Other outsiders can't do anything. As long as Professor Fang's family is in Baishui Village, you can rest assured. I understand what you said. The current situation is the current situation, and the children in our village are now Professor Fang's students. Do you understand?"

"Okay, Lao Chen, if you have the chance to go to the city in the future, I, Xu Damao, will treat you to roast duck and visit Tiananmen Square. No questions asked. Don't worry, I'll take care of your accommodation and meals."

"Okay, Officer Xu, I'll really go find you then."

"Come to me. Your kid knows my office. Xiaoshun and I have the same master. We have a deep friendship."

"That's good. I will definitely go."

Xu Damao returned to Kyoto City on the same day. As soon as he got back, he told Gu Meifang to ask her to bring cloth back with Chen Zhiyong next time.

"Boss, you promised Village Chief Chen that you would let Xiaoyong and I take the cloth down, why?"

"You are relatives from the same clan. The villagers will not forget you. You, Hanhan, and Dandan are still registered in Baishui Village."

Gu Meifang then remembered, yes, I am also a villager, so this can be considered as doing things for the villagers.

"How much are you bringing to the village?"

"I'll make the arrangements, and when Yongjun is free, I'll have him drive out of town. That way it's safer. Otherwise, it won't work. Bring two or three horses of each style, and let the villagers choose freely when they return to the village. Are you worried about leaving any left over? That's impossible. I'll think of a way to see if I can bring some soap or something, so I can earn some money for the trip back."

Gu Meifang smiled, "As the boss, I really don't do business that would cause me to suffer a loss."

"That's right. Favors are important, and making money is important too. Who would risk working for nothing? The most important thing is that we have to guard the territory of Baishui Village in the future, so it's okay to earn less. Right, baby."

"Go away, go away. I'm already old, and you still call me baby. It makes my teeth ache!"

"She is still a treasure even when she is old. Your name is well chosen, beautiful and fragrant. Doesn't it mean treasure? Just look at our daughter and you will know, she is a natural beauty. Oh, I must have accumulated great merits in my previous life, and I am blessed in this life."

"Boss, why isn't Xiaoru coming back today? Didn't your father-in-law and mother-in-law question you?"

"I can't say this. If I do, it will really ruin things. Xiao Ru really can't handle this right now."

Xu Damao sobbed directly, "Okay, I'll go take care of my daughter, you cook. I'm hungry."
