Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

"Pillar?"

It was a new day again. He Yuzhu had just arrived at his post and was checking the accounts in the warehouse with Lao Liu and Dasun when he heard someone calling him from behind.

He Yuzhu turned around and knew at a glance that it was Xu Damao who called him, without even looking carefully.

Seeing that they met an acquaintance, Lao Liu and Da Sun smiled and greeted He Yuzhu and left.

Here, Xu Damao saw clearly that the person working inside was indeed He Yuzhu, and he ran over excitedly.

"Zhu Zi, it's really you, why are you here?"

"Uh..."

When Xu Damao asked this, He Yuzhu didn't know how to answer.

This is just like calling an air conditioner repairman to your home and asking him what kind of work he does.

However, He Yuzhu still responded briefly.

"I was seriously injured this time, so I was transferred here to recuperate."

It is a habit ingrained in the Northeastern people not to let words fall to the ground.

"Oh, oh, I heard that you were discharged from the hospital and went home two days ago. But when I got home, I hadn't seen you for two days. I thought you were in the hospital again. I was planning to go to the hospital to see you."

"Uh~~~Are you going there to eat fruit again?"

He Yuzhu really didn't know how to respond and could only make a joke.

Xu Damao also started to make fun of him.

"Forget it, buddy, I'm just worried that you can't finish it and it would be wasted, so I'm kind enough to help you finish some."

However, after saying this, Xu Damao returned to the topic.

"By the way, Zhuzi, you just said that you are also working in the factory this time, right?"

"Ok?"

Xu Damao's "also" made He Yuzhu full of doubts.

"Da Mao, you are also working in the factory? Then you don't go to school anymore?"

"Hey, I graduated from junior high school and didn't get into high school, so I followed my dad into the factory."

Xu Damao spoke casually.

He Yuzhu thought about it and agreed. Xu Damao was born in 38 and is 15 years old this year. He can pretend to be 16 and it won't be a problem for him to get into the factory.

Alas, that's not right.

It seems like last year, when Qin Huairu gave birth to a boy in the compound, Xu Damao was only in the second grade of junior high school. This time, school is about to start, so he should be in the third grade. How come he has graduated from junior high school?

He Yuzhu reacted and was about to ask a few questions, but Xu Damao looked around like a thief and found that no one was paying attention to them. Then he whispered to He Yuzhu:

"Zhu Zi, I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else. My dad told me that our factory is going to be restructured and turned into a state-owned enterprise, and asked me to come in first and take up a position so that I can eat government food in the future. Look, I didn't finish junior high school, so my dad asked someone to change it to a grade I skipped, and I graduated from junior high school, and told everyone to tell everyone that I graduated from junior high school."

After saying this, Xu Damao did not forget to remind He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else."

Looking at the "childish" Xu Damao, He Yuzhu wanted to laugh.

Is this still the "real villain" he saw in the TV series?

But, yes, whether it is a TV series or a novel, there must always be a villain or a control group for the protagonist.

Then Xu Damao, who is in the same class as the other in the same compound, would be the best person to take the blame.

Well, if we put all the bad things on him, wouldn't it be more prominent?

But, to be honest, He Yuzhu has always believed that the word "bad" is actually relative.

If a person is terribly bad to everyone in the world, but is kind to you with all his heart, then you cannot say that this person is bad.

The same is true in reverse.

Just like in the drama.

If He Yuzhu hadn't gone to deal with Xu Damao first, Xu Damao wouldn't have thought of messing with He Yuzhu.

If we only look at the few episodes before He Yuzhu dealt with Xu Damao, the two of them were, at best, a special kind of "love-hate relationship", quarreling and bickering for no reason, and that was the end of it.

Besides, there is a saying that when He Yuzhu died, it was Xu Damao who collected the body.

Calculated this way, the current He Yuzhu is no longer the original He Yuzhu.

Then, why should He Yuzhu break up with a future "real villain"?

We were originally neighbors living in the same compound. Although we didn't interact much in normal times, we were always very friendly and would just say a few words of praise to each other, saying hello, I'm fine, and everyone is fine, and that's all.

"Don't worry, you just graduated from junior high school, what's there to say?"

He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows and gave Xu Damao a look that said "don't worry", and by the way, changed the subject.

"By the way, Damao, what are you doing here?"

"Yes, I almost forgot."

Xu Damao slapped his thigh when He Yuzhu reminded him of this.

He took out a note from his trouser pocket and handed it to He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, since you are working here this time, you have to help me pick a better gun."

"Oh?"

He Yuzhu took the note, opened it and took a look, and almost burst into laughter.

"Da Mao, this is the approval note from my uncle Xu. If you want to get a gun, you have to ask your leader to approve another note."

Now He Yuzhu was just about to point out the three words "Xu Fugui" on the note so that Xu Damao could see it clearly.

But Xu Damao was not embarrassed at all.

"Same, same. Anyway, I'll be going to the countryside soon, and I'll be the one to take my dad's gun."

"Okay, I can pick a good gun for you, but you have to ask them for a temporary gun license."

He Yuzhu shrugged indifferently. Anyway, he was not the one who handled the temporary gun license, so what did it matter?

"I'll give you the gun once you get your temporary gun permit."

"That's all trivial. Anyway, I've been here several times and I've gotten it done every time."

Xu Damao also shrugged indifferently, imitating He Yuzhu.

"Okay, go ahead and do it. I'll get you a good gun."

Having said that, He Yuzhu returned the approval slip to Xu Damao.

He just stood there with his arms folded. After making sure that Lao Liu and Dasun had issued a temporary gun license to Xu Damao without even asking, He Yuzhu turned around and went into the light weapons warehouse.

"Zhuzi, Zhuzi, can you pick out a pistol like the one on your waist for me?"

Unexpectedly, as I turned around, Xu Damao also came in.

"My dad has already said that you have been skating since you were a kid, so there will be no problem if I choose the same one as you."

Otherwise, what netizens said was that in the whole compound, except for the deaf old lady, the smartest people are the Xu father and son.

"Uh, thank Xu Shuao for me~~"

This is all He Yuzhu can say now.

He took great pains to pick out a 33% new TT for Xu Damao, and then disassembled the gun, wiped it again, reassembled it, and handed it to Xu Damao.

"Don't point the gun at anyone, don't load the gun unless it's an emergency, and don't show it off when you have nothing to do. When you get back, just give it directly to Uncle Xu."

Even so, He Yuzhu was still worried and gave instructions to Xu Damao who was playing with the pistol lovingly.

But Xu Damao didn't care at all and responded casually.

"Don't worry, this isn't the first time I've held a gun. Besides, my dad is watching over me, so nothing can go wrong."

"alright."

Now that Xu Damao has said so, what can He Yuzhu say?

To put it bluntly, even if something happened to Xu Damao, as long as it didn't happen in the warehouse, it couldn't be blamed on He Yuzhu.

No, to be precise, even if Xu Damao is in trouble now, as long as he didn't shoot He Yuzhu, it can't be blamed on He Yuzhu.

Finally, like a plague god, Xu Damao was sent away.

He Yuzhu felt "dry mouth" and sat down at his desk, drinking a lot of water.

After that, there was nothing to do, so He Yuzhu, Lao Liu and the eldest grandson started to slack off openly again.

As they chatted, the topic between Old Liu and his eldest grandson turned to He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, was that boy your friend?"

"I guess so. He and I grew up in the same yard."

There is nothing to hide about this. Everyone will know it sooner or later.

"Then you have to be careful..."

"Dasun!"

Just as Da Sun was about to say something, he was interrupted by Lao Liu.

"Hey, Brother Liu, look at you, are you deliberately trying to whet my appetite? I understand, I understand."

He Yuzhu really wanted to hear what his eldest grandson wanted him to pay attention to, so he interrupted by taking out a cigarette from his bag and giving one to each of them.

"This is the first pestle. Brother Sun, please continue. There will be a second pestle later."

Faced with He Yuzhu's playful smile, Old Liu didn't know what to say and could only let his eldest grandson continue talking.

"Everyone in our factory knows that boy's father, Xu Fugui. He was originally a servant of Mr. Lou Bancheng. Later, he learned the technology of projecting movies and came to our factory to work as a projectionist."

Seeing that Da Sun had been scolded by Lao Liu and didn't intend to say more, He Yuzhu praised him naturally.

"and then?"

"Then?"

The eldest grandson was stunned for a moment when asked by He Yuzhu.

Then he reacted.

"Nothing much happened afterwards. It's just that at this stage, he took the lead in leading people to go to the countryside to show movies. Maybe... maybe his reputation is a bit bad."

It has to be Lao Liu.

Seeing that the conversation had already begun, I just took over.

"What Dasun meant was that the projection team members who went to the countryside were corrupt and took bribes, and they might have kept mistresses. Their reputation is not very good, so they asked you to be careful and not get too close to them."

"Yeah, that's what I mean."

The eldest grandson beside him also nodded in agreement.

"Oh~~~~"

He Yuzhu nodded as if he suddenly understood something.

"I see. Thank you Brother Liu and Brother Sun for the reminder."

But then, He Yuzhu reacted.

"That's not right, Brother Liu, Brother Sun, doesn't the factory still belong to Boss Lou? How dare Xu Fugui openly and openly show movies in the countryside?"

"Huh, that's not private."

Old Liu looked disdainful.

"The factory is going to be restructured. Boss Lou asked Xu Fugui to bring people down to show movies for the sake of reputation or something else. Who would have thought that Xu Fugui's people would ruin the reputation?"

"Oh, oh, I see."

Well, the news of the factory restructuring has spread and is no longer a secret.

But, it is true. After all, there are so many people in the audit team and they have been working for so many days. No one is blind or stupid. Who can not see it?
