Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

The sky was blue without a single cloud. The fiery red sun hung in the sky, as if it was going to burn everything between heaven and earth to a crisp.

Unless there is something important, everyone basically stays in the house, fanning themselves or using a fan.

There is a huge fan in the back kitchen of the steel mill. Once it is turned on, the wind makes a humming sound. If people speak in a low voice, the other party cannot hear each other.

The weather was hot and the leaders' appetites were not very good. When Sha Zhu was cooking, he added some spicy spices appropriately. For the after-meal drink, he just made a bowl of iced sour plum soup and a plate of watermelons cut into appropriate sizes.

Of course, only leaders can enjoy such treatment.

The workers in the steel mill still eat the same big pot of food, plus a serving of mung bean soup.

It was lunch time and there was already a long line at the window. Xu Damao and Qin Huairu were also standing there.

Xu Damao was seen clinging to Qin Huairu, with his hands restlessly resting on her shoulders:

"Qin Huairu, let's go to the warehouse after dinner?"

"Okay, my family is short of food now. If you can give me some steamed buns and a meal ticket, I will go to the warehouse with you."

Ever since she realized that she couldn't get the upper hand over Ye Fei and Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu became more and more self-indulgent.

For the sake of this family, she can only make some sacrifices.

"Steamed buns are fine, but meal tickets, as you know, are hard to come by."

"Then don't think about it."

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes in her heart. Just like that, you still want to cheat your girlfriend? !

"The meal ticket is the meal ticket, just wait."

Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't want to cooperate with him, Xu Damao quickly changed his words.

Finally it was Qin Huairu's turn. She asked for two more steamed buns and a full bowl of vegetables, then said to the person serving the food:

"The ticket is from Xu Damao."

After saying that, he took the food and left. Xu Damao watched Qin Huairu leave with so much food. He was quite dissatisfied in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and paid the bill.

I was thinking that I would definitely take advantage of this later.

After finishing his meal in a hurry, Xu Damao hurried to the warehouse.

Before leaving, he deliberately lingered in front of Qin Huairu. Seeing that Qin Huairu got his signal, he left with satisfaction.

"Xu Damao, someone is looking for you outside."

Xu Damao, who was about to go to the warehouse, heard the voice and turned around to see that it was the old man guarding the door. He immediately asked:

"Uncle, do you know who is looking for me?"

"I don't know. It's a girl."

Xu Damao was puzzled. Could that girl be Lou Xiaoe?

But he and Lou Xiao'e had long been at odds with each other, and even if he went back, they would not have exchanged a few words, so why would she suddenly come to see him? !

With doubts in his mind, Xu Damao walked towards the gate.

When he saw that the person coming was Qin Jingru, his first reaction was not surprise, but anger:

"How did you come?"

As he spoke, he looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he was still a little worried, so he pulled Qin Jingru to the side.

"Why, you're not happy that I'm here?"

Qin Jingru pouted and pretended to be angry, but the smile in her eyes was still obvious.

Ever since Xu Damao gave her one dollar last time, she has been thinking about Xu Damao all the time.

This time, I came not only because I missed Xu Damao, but also because I wanted to see how Xu Damao was doing.

After all, Xu Damao is a city dweller and has never been under her supervision, so she was a little worried.

“Of course I am happy.

But I haven't dealt with my own affairs yet. You come to me so openly, aren't you afraid of being seen by others?"

Seeing Qin Jingru's expression turn ugly, Xu Damao continued:

“I don’t mean to blame you.

This is a steel mill, and many people know me. If Lou Xiao'e's father finds out, do you think I will keep my job? !

If I lose my job, how can I support you in the future?!"

"what?!"

Qin Jingru was immediately frightened and looked panicked:

"Then I'll go to the park and wait for you. Come find me after you get off work."

"Okay, you go first!"

"Well, can you give me some money? I haven't eaten yet..."

Before leaving, Qin Jingru asked Xu Damao for one dollar, and only then did she leave happily.

After Qin Jingru's interruption, Xu Damao no longer had the heart to look for Qin Huairu.

Finally it was time to get off work and Xu Damao left in a hurry.

Xu Damao found Qin Jingru sitting on a bench in the park, looking bored and dazed. He would definitely not refuse something that was right in front of him, so he started to touch her.

Qin Jingru was frightened at once, and she pushed and shoved him, as if she was reluctant but actually willing.

"You don't know how much I miss you since we haven't met for a while. Let me kiss you first, and then I'll take you out for dinner."

Xu Damao's words did not allow for refusal. Qin Jingru lowered her guard and nodded shyly.

As the saying goes, a man's mouth is a deceitful ghost.

It was not until Qin Jingru could hardly breathe that Xu Damao reluctantly left.

"I'm hungry!"

Qin Jingru collapsed in Xu Damao's arms and spoke righteously.

Having tasted the sweetness, Xu Damao took Qin Jingru directly to the nearest restaurant and had a big meal.

"Silly Zhu, is that Xu Damao?!"

Zhao Ying tugged at the corner of Sha Zhu's clothes and pointed at two people who were eating not far away.

Sha Zhu looked in the direction of the finger and saw that it was Xu Damao.

But he didn't take it seriously and just pulled Zhao Ying out the door.

He only took a few steps and suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

"The woman sitting opposite Xu Damao is not Lou Xiao'e!"

Although Lou Xiao'e's hair is a bit long, she doesn't like to tie it into a braid.

So this is...

Sha Zhu's mind worked very quickly. He never expected Xu Damao to do such a thing. He turned around without thinking:

"Xiaoying, stand aside and don't go over there."

The hotel lobby was still somewhat cool, at least cooler than the stuffy air outside.

"Isn't it bad for you to go there like this?"

Zhao Ying dissuaded him. She felt that exposing the truth in front of others was not very friendly. Also, this was someone else's family affair.

If you intervene too much, you may easily get into trouble.

“What’s wrong with that?!

If Xu Damao dares to do such a thing, he must be prepared to bear the consequences!"

Sha Zhu had already seen Qin Huairu's profile at this time. Thinking of that innocent and ignorant child, he was even more angry:

"That girl is Qin Huairu's cousin, she's still young, Xu Damao is a beast!!!"

As Sha Zhu said this, he walked forward. Zhao Ying had no choice but to follow him.

After she got married, the phrase she heard most often was "Xu Damao is a bad seed."

We rarely dealt with each other before, so I don’t have a very deep feeling about it.

But now that she had seen it with her own eyes, Zhao Ying felt that Xu Damao deserved to be scolded.

He has a wife and children, but he is still fooling around outside. He needs to be taught a lesson.
