Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

The next day, at Qinghe Health Center, Xu Damao went through the formalities with the doctor's consent, and left the health center with his leather briefcase. He immediately went to a restaurant and had a meal of hawthorn porridge, cabbage and oil-dregs buns, and two steamed breads. He had paid for the treatment and didn't have much money left. He had no choice but to buy some cabbage and oil-dregs buns because they tasted really good. He wanted to take some home to eat.

I said hello to the commune, got on my bike, and started to rush back slowly. I didn't get back to the steel mill until noon, went to the propaganda department to hand over the equipment to the warehouse, filled out the expense reimbursement documents, and went to the section chief's office.

"Chief Li, I'm back. I want to take two more days off. The doctor said that I hit my head badly this time, and it's a severe concussion. If I don't recover well, there may be serious sequelae. Also, please sign this reimbursement form for me. I spent all the money in my pocket on the medical treatment. Now my pocket is cleaner than my face."

"Xiao Xu, you've worked hard this time and even got injured on the job, but you don't complain. I'll give you a week's rest. It's snowing, so there won't be any assignments to show movies in the countryside. Don't worry, go to the Finance Department to report your accounts first, and go back to take good care of yourself. It's almost the new year. I hope you take good care of yourself and continue to work hard in the new year. Don't worry, the department will arrange a position for you by the end of the year, and you'll be a formal employee next month."

Xu Damao knew that there might be hidden benefits of rest, but he didn't expect it to be so big. Oh, he was ecstatic. A week of rest time plus regularization. That's a big increase in income. Temporary workers only get 22 yuan, and the subsidy for going to the countryside is only 27 yuan per day, which is just enough for food. After becoming a regular employee, his salary will become 33 yuan, plus job allowances and business trip subsidies, which will directly exceed yuan.

Xu Damao really wanted to take out a pack of Huazi from his pocket and give it to Section Chief Li. No, that would have to be done next time. Xu Damao was no longer just Xu Damao, but Xu Damao, who knew everything about the situation. After all, he was a top student who had worked in the system for four years, and his comprehension, observation, and problem-analysis abilities were extremely strong. Most importantly, he had a high starting point, and he was a secretary to a leader as soon as he entered the system. Although the time was not long, less than a year, it was not short either.

Flattery costs nothing, so thank him first. After saying goodbye to the section chief, he went to the finance department and reported more than 20,000 yuan in expenses, then he slowly walked out of the steel plant gate and limped home.

He could have ridden his bike back, but he still wanted to make things better. Although he was indeed dizzy, the degree was not that serious.

There are many public houses in the Red Star Factory. The former director of the steel rolling mill, Lou Zhenhua and Lou Bancheng, responded to the call in advance and made the entire steel rolling mill a public-private partnership this summer. He only retained the position of director, and the Lou family received dividends every year.

The Red Star Courtyard at No. 92 Nanluoguxiang is where Xu Damao lived, but he lived in the backyard, with two rooms, one large and one small. However, the half of the patio left after the original backyard was demolished due to road widening was given to Xu Damao. Xu Damao's father was also very smart. At that time, because of this half of the patio of about 6 square meters, he negotiated with the street and directly bought these two rooms and the patio, making it a private house. After the Spring Festival, he got Xu Damao into the steel rolling mill, and went to the cinema affiliated with the Dongcheng District Cultural Center to show movies. He also got a house in the cultural center. Although the area is not large, it is more than square meters, which is enough for them and their daughter to live in. Xu Xiaoling is still in the fifth grade of elementary school.

It took Xu Damao more than an hour to walk the approximately five-kilometer distance from the factory to his residence, and he almost fainted.

Fortunately, we arrived. When we entered the courtyard, we saw Third Aunt Yang Ruihua poking at the coal stove. She probably wanted to use it to keep the house warm after cooking in the evening.

"Da Mao is back. Something is wrong. Damao, what happened to your head?"

"Third Auntie, I fell and injured myself in the countryside yesterday. I just came back today and asked for leave from work. I feel dizzy and can't take it anymore. I have to go back and have a good rest. Let's talk later."

Xu Damao passed through the moon gate, crossed the cross courtyard, and finally arrived at the door of his home in the backyard through the middle courtyard.

I opened the general lock, threw my briefcase on the table, took a cup from the tea set on the chest of drawers, poured some boiled water into it, and drank it without caring whether it was cold or not. Then I took off my military coat and hung it on the hook on the wall, took off my outer cotton pants and threw them on the floor, went into the bedroom, spread the quilt, and went to bed. I was really dizzy.

Good fellow, he slept until the next morning when he woke up because he had to pee. He put on his clothes and a muddy and bloodstained army green cotton coat and ran to the official toilet outside the courtyard.

This pee finally made him feel good, and he shuddered and shook his tool before he finished. Suddenly he remembered his infertility, and took a closer look at his tool. It was pretty good, so why didn't it work later?

Damn it, I should be fine if I don't mess with that bastard Shazhu in the future. Yes, I'll find a doctor to take my pulse when I have time to see if there is any problem. If there is a disease, it is better to know it early, detect it early, and treat it early. It is better to avoid seeing a doctor. Yes. That's it.

"Hey, Xu Damao, why are you here so early today? Did the sun rise from the west today?"

Xu Damao looked back and saw that it was his future enemy He Yuzhu, also known as Shazhu.

"Silly, that's not right. He Yuzhu, isn't it quite early for you? Have you eaten?" Xu Damao teased Shazhu while tying his belt. He was thinking: This guy is actually quite understanding, how come he became a big enemy. Oh, right, I haven't met that short-lived couple Jia Dongxu yet. Xu Damao really doesn't know much about Qin Huairu who just married into this courtyard. She is really beautiful: fair and smooth skin, 10 meters tall, with breasts and buttocks. In Jia Zhang's eyes, she is a good fertile embryo. Otherwise, the old hag wouldn't have spent yuan and bought a sewing machine to marry her home.

Without waiting for He Yuzhu to finish, Xu Damao went straight to the alley entrance. He didn't have dinner last night, and he was so hungry that he felt dizzy.

I went directly to the breakfast stand at the entrance of the alley outside the courtyard, ordered a bowl of soy milk, and got five big meat buns, and ate until I was full. The big meat buns were really as big as fists, and they were all filled with good meat stuffing mixed with fat and essence. The taste was the aroma of sizzling local pork. Anyway, Xu Damao had never eaten it.

After satisfying his five internal organs, he walked back slowly. He touched his coat pocket and found an unopened pack of Xiangshan brand cigarettes and a box of matches.

He took a cigarette and smoked it, then took another match and picked his teeth while walking, humming (Blue and White Porcelain).

Damn, who can understand Jay Chou's songs? Xu Damao knows. His favorite is Jay Chou's Blue and White Porcelain.

"The sky is blue and waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you;

The moonlight was salvaged, and the ending was blurred;

Just like the blue and white porcelain passed down from generation to generation, it cares about its own beauty,

You have a smile in your eyes..."

Yes, this is my second life, I want to be beautiful and smile...
