Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

Xu Damao gained a lot from this trip to the countryside. Not only did each village treat him to delicious food and drinks, but they also gave him local specialties, including mountain products, homemade cakes, and wild boar jerky. The last stop was two villages in Haidian Hot Spring Commune, which were separated from Gu Gu by one village. After the last show, Xu Damao carried some jerky to Gu Gu Gu's home in the next village.

Although the two of them only met once, they still felt very familiar with each other. It felt like they were meeting again after a long separation.

The Xu Damao of today is completely different from the Xu Damao of the last time. After practicing martial arts, Xu Damao's physical fitness has not only improved greatly, but has also made a qualitative leap. Because of the balanced and proper meals, his face has also become much fuller and he looks handsome.

In addition, Gu Gu's protracted battle made it difficult to defend the empty curtain, and she and Xu Damao, the widow harvester, hit it off immediately and collapsed at the first blow. Under Xu Damao's powerful offensive, she was extremely satisfied.

Xu Damao really didn't expect to get along so well with Gu Guwu. Anyway, he was a beast, and fought with Gu Guwu repeatedly that night, playing a hat trick. He secretly returned to the village committee of the neighboring village in the early morning, took a short rest, had breakfast in the village, and then packed up his things contentedly and started on the road back to Beijing.

While riding my bicycle, I was humming Ma Lianliang's Empty City Strategy: I was watching the mountain scenery from the tower, and heard the commotion outside the city. The flags were waving in the air, and it turned out to be the soldiers sent by Sima...

"Stop the car and get out."

Suddenly, two people jumped out from the bend of the quiet national highway, one holding a wooden stick, and blocked Xu Damao's way from the front and the other behind. Xu Damao was still thinking about the kindness of Widow Gu in his mind and humming a Peking Opera out of tune. He was startled and stepped on the handbrake, and he and his bicycle almost fell on the road.

"Damn it, I'm unlucky. I ran into two robbers. Hey, two heroes, I don't have much money in my pocket. I'll give it all to you. But don't hurt me. We can talk it out. There's a movie camera tied to this bicycle. It's useless for you to take it."

"Stop talking nonsense and take the things off the back seat. We want your bike."

"Okay, okay. The car is public property anyway. Who would risk their life for public property? No problem, no problem. Wait for me to unload the camera."

Xu Damao obediently propped up the bicycle and pretended to start untying the ropes that tied the movie screen in the middle.

He looked at the two men's positions, and suddenly used a knee-kick to knock down the big man in front of him at lightning speed. He then used a Qinglong back-twist palm to hit the man standing behind him on the chin, and the man fell backwards. Xu Damao rushed forward with a lion hug, and pounced on him, hitting the man's left and right temples with both palms, and the man fainted. Xu Damao pulled back and kicked him in the door, followed by a single punch to the ear, knocking the other man unconscious.

Xu Damao tied the two men tightly with the long rope used to tie curtains and began to search them.

Damn it. They actually found two pistols from the waists of the two men.

Xu Damao suddenly felt lucky. Damn, he thought they were two robbers, but he didn't expect to run into two secret agents.

The matter got out of hand, and the dozens of dollars on these two people could not be pocketed by me. What a pity. I lost a lot of wealth.

Xu Damao looked around and saw no one. He could only confirm that the two agents were tied up tightly. He took the two pistols he had found, rode back to the nearest Wenquan Commune, and reported the situation. The commune secretary quickly sent a team of militiamen to follow Xu Damao to the scene of the incident. The round trip took no more than 20 minutes.

Xu Damao followed the militia back to the commune and recounted what had happened. He then rode the commune's tractor to escort the two spies to the Kyoto Public Security Bureau, where he made a statement. He then rode his bicycle back to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, put the equipment into storage, reimbursed the expenses, and gave Section Chief Li some wild boar jerky and local specialties before packing up the rest and going to Lou's house.

"Ezi, your husband almost couldn't come back this time."

"Da Mao, what's going on?"

Xu Damao recounted what happened on the way back in an immersive and exaggerated way. Lou Xiaoe was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat and hugged Xu Damao, "Damo, why don't you change your job? If something happens again, what will we do? Don't you think about me and the baby in your belly? My mother said that judging from the shape of my belly, it's a son."

Xu Damao looked at Lou Xiao'e who was sincere and comforted her,

"Ezi, it's okay. Your husband is a martial arts master after all, not an ordinary person can compare. Besides, this may be a good thing. Think about it, I caught two spies this time, I must be rewarded for my meritorious service. This kind of thing is something that some police officers may not even be able to encounter, but I, Xu Damao, encountered it, and two at once. Don't you think it's a good thing? Besides, it's not so easy to change jobs now. Don't worry, it's ours. Take care of the baby, I like both sons and daughters. We don't just want one child. Just have more. Make sure we have both sons and daughters."

Lou Xiao'e burst into laughter and said, "You think I'm a pig, giving birth to babies one after another."

"Ezi, having more children is an extremely glorious thing, and it is a strong guarantee for contributing to the construction of a new society. Let's work hard and try to have two children in three years."

As expected, when Xu Damao arrived at work on Monday, Chief Li of the Publicity Department was already waiting for him at the door of the information room.

"Good boy, Xiao Xu, you didn't even report such a big thing last Saturday. Hurry up and get ready, the city government will come to give you an award later."

"Ah, Chief Li, you're talking about catching spies on Saturday. I just happened to be there, but I'm still scared when I think about it afterwards. Both of them had loud weapons on them."

"Da Mao, the factory is also discussing this matter. Not only will the city reward you, but the factory will also commend you. I think your admission to the party will definitely be resolved this time."

"Chief, thank you for your trust. I will follow you from now on."

Xu Damao really didn't expect to receive such a great honor this time.

The relevant departments of Kyoto City sent Xu Damao a certificate and honorary title of "People's Defender", as well as a cash reward of 50 yuan.

A few days later, the department gave Xu Damao the title of "Advanced Worker" and rewarded him with 50 yuan in cash, plus a bicycle ticket, a radio ticket, and a sewing machine ticket.

The Red Star Factory also gave Xu Damao the title of "Active Worker", rewarded him with 50 yuan in cash, and allowed him to join the Party organization. He was promoted to the position of Propaganda Section Officer, with an administrative level of 23 and the treatment of a Level 56 Cadre Clerk. He was directly promoted to the cadre establishment, and his salary was increased to yuan, which is equivalent to the treatment of a college student becoming a regular employee.

Xu Damao was a little confused. This was beyond his expectation. He had gained both fame and fortune. He was promoted from a worker to a cadre, and his salary increased by more than ten yuan a month. He received a bonus of 150 yuan from several departments, and also received various bills. It was so cool.

Xu Damao went directly to the department store and bought a Peony brand three-band radio, then went straight to the Lou family.

"Ezi, I got a job as a civil servant. This is a reward from my superiors. I just bought a radio."

"Da Mao, did you buy a radio? Then take it back to the compound. We don't need it here."

"Oh, yes, there's a TV and a record player. I forgot about it because I was so happy. I might as well buy you a ladies' bicycle."

"You got a ticket?"

"Yes, it's a reward from the ministry, and there's also a plane ticket for sewing."
