Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

"Xu Damao, I have something to discuss with you?"

Wu Lingjuan put aside her pride and went to Room 207 to discuss something with Xu Damao.

"Look at my ex-husband and I's son, he's eight years old this year, and you have two pretty girls at home, why don't we get married?"

"Don't even think about it. What kind of person is your ex-husband? What good things are there in his descendants? Marry my daughter, and don't even think about it."

Are you kidding? You are so young and yet you are already eyeing my little girl. Who gives you the courage?

Xu Damao didn't care what rank the child's grandfather held. He refused, firmly refused.

"Look at you, you are so petty. It's just a talk. You didn't get it back. Why are you so anxious?"

Wu Lingjuan also likes her eight-year-old son, but his surname is Jia, Jia Yongxin. Xu Damao thinks of Jia Dongxu from No. 95 Courtyard, a short-lived man. It would be strange if he agreed. If your surname is Zhen, Zhen Shiyin, you are definitely a winner in life in the first half of your life, and you suddenly become a monk in the second half of your life. Xu Damao can still think that you have a certain realm and can marry. The surname Jia is taboo.

Xu Damao and Wu Lingjuan parted on bad terms, but before noon, he received a call from Li Huaide, asking him to accompany him to entertain the guests.

Xu Damao now feels that drinking is beneficial to spiritual practice. He can transform pure good wine into spiritual energy for his own use. Why not do it?

As expected, the lunch banquet was a big one. Xu Damao took care of two tables of guests with ease. Little did they know that Xu Damao used the Qi Refining Technique to directly transform the alcohol in his body into spiritual energy to nourish his body. He was not drunk at all. He happily drank the leader to his heart's content.

"Da Mao, your alcohol tolerance is amazing."

"Director, I am a few years younger than you. I will do my best to save your face. Only when you are in charge of the factory can we, your subordinates, have a good life, right?"

Li Huaide was very happy. "Okay, okay, Xiao Xu, with a warrior like you here, we don't have to worry about our Red Star Factory losing to others."

Although Xu Damao disdains to flatter anyone, there is no use flattering someone if he doesn't flatter him.

"Director, during this period, have you felt dizzy, tinnitus, decreased vision, fear of light, tears in the wind, forgetfulness, soreness in the waist and knees, night sweats, nocturnal emission, dry mouth and throat?"

"Yes, Xiao Xu, how did you know?"

"From your expression, I know you've worked so hard for our factory. You've been overworked, and your liver and kidneys are deficient. Director, find a chance to go to Tong Ren Tang to get a prescription for Qi Ju Di Huang Wan. It will work in three months."

"Oh, oh, OK." Li Huaide readily agreed. It was true that he had been overworked during this period, and it was normal for him to feel sore in his waist and knees. I didn't expect Xu Damao to know some medical skills. It seemed that he really needed to get some Chinese patent medicine to replenish his body.

Xu Damao's hypocritical operation actually reaped considerable rewards, and they were huge and very practical.

"Xiao Xu, actually, based on your level, you should be qualified for a better position, but our factory is so limited. How about I recommend you to go to the main factory?"

"No, no, Director, please don't do that. I feel that I can thrive under your guidance. I don't have any ambitions. I just want to devote my youth to the Red Star Factory."

Xu Damao tried his best to live a more free life and almost vomited because of talking.

Everyone likes to hear good words, including Li Huaide. He realized that Xu Damao really had no ambition to climb up the ladder, so he felt more relieved.

Xu Damao really had no intention of becoming an official. He was very satisfied with his current position as an 18th-level cadre in the Red Star Factory: no substantive work, a good position, a good salary, and most importantly, free time. This was the key point.

This idea actually coincided with Fang Xiaoru's.

When he talked about this at home that night, he asked Fang Xiaoru and Gu Meifang if he was not doing his job properly. When asked if he was a little too carried away, Fang Xiaoru actually gave Xu Damao a compliment: "If this is your guiding ideology, you should indeed be promoted, but your factory is just like that, and you have reached the top. If you are promoted again, the boss will not be happy. You are doing well now, much more comfortable than when I was a teacher in the college. Look at our college now, a bunch of laymen are directing the experts to teach, and a bunch of experts are teaching a large group of students who don't understand the professional courses. It's too tiring. If it weren't for my Shuying, I would have dared to slam the table and leave. There is no way, this is reality. Think about it, my parents want to step onto their own podium, but they haven't had this opportunity yet. How can I just slam the table and leave? At the very least, there are so many bills issued every month that they can live a normal life, right?"

Gu Meifang hasn't worked in recent years, but she has worked in the production team. She knows the pressure of real life. After listening to the complaints of the two, she sighed, "You two should be content. In the past, you worked so hard in the fields to make a living, but at the end of the year, you only made 50 yuan, and the food was just enough to eat and not starve. Thinking about my life now, I feel like I'm just lying in a comfortable nest. You are still not satisfied. Then we farmers really don't know what to do."

"Meifang, you know I've helped others move from the countryside to the city over the years, why don't I help you get a job in the city?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm not educated."

"No, no, you see, Zheng Yongjun only studied in junior high school for a few years, but now he is a junior cadre in the unit and the team leader, a very powerful position. His child now has a Kyoto hukou and follows him in the team.

I think you should live in happiness. In the future, maybe you, the original resident of Baishui Village, will be able to enjoy better and more valuable distribution. It is really hard to say. "

"How can it be!"

"It is very likely. You think that most places in Haidian District are now a combination of urban and rural areas. Many places have already surpassed the days of the main urban area of ​​Kyoto. Your Baishui Village is a rural area now, but it does not mean that it cannot become a city in the future. As long as you are a farmer in Baishui Village, you have your own private plot, your own food-grain field, and your own homestead. These three pieces may be your huge wealth in the future. Look, our Hanhan, Dandan, the baby in your belly will be born in more than a month. Aren't we all villagers of Baishui Village? I suddenly remembered that I decided to name the children Xu Zhidi and Xu Zhilu, so that they can feel the humble feeling of life in nature. Only with humility can vitality be stronger. As the saying goes, the reeds are green and the white dew turns to frost. As the saying goes, the beauty is on the other side of the water. Xiaoru, what do you think?"

"It seems to make some sense. Maybe Sister Meifang will be so lucky in the future. Otherwise, how could she have twins for two consecutive pregnancies? By the way, Damao, do you think Sister Meifang will have twins this time? Have you gone to the hospital for a checkup, or are you just guessing?"

"I can confirm this situation now without going to the hospital for a checkup. Meifang is pregnant with twins this time. She is doing well now. However, I see that the babies are developing well in her belly. She may need a caesarean section, so she needs to be hospitalized in advance to ensure the safety of both mother and child. So in a few days, you remind me to arrange for Meifang to go to the hospital for delivery in time. We must take this matter seriously and we must not save the money we should spend. Giving birth has risks, and giving birth to twins is even more risky. I must be cautious. Do you understand?"

Gu Meifang was still thinking about the birth of a boy, and Fang Xiaoru agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'll remember that. I'll arrange for Sister Meifang to be hospitalized in a few days. I can also take leave in advance and take care of the three girls at home."
