What if I haven't seen Siheyuan?

After Xu Damao greeted Yi Zhonghai, he hurriedly pushed his bicycle back home. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Lou Xiao'e bending over and busy packing things.

He panted and said loudly: "Xiao'e, I'm back."

Lou Xiao'e stopped what she was doing when she heard him, stood up, turned around and looked at him, and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Why are you so anxious?"

Xu Damao quickly put down the things in his hands and replied hastily: "I just heard something at the factory. I have to go find Yan Xiaoyao to talk about it. I won't tell you in detail yet."

Lou Xiao'e frowned and said with a look of reproach: "What are you in such a hurry for? You can't even take a sip of water."

Xu Damao waved his hands anxiously and said, "I'll explain it to you when I get back. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, without waiting for Lou Xiao'e's response, he ran hurriedly to Yan Xiaoyao's house.

It turned out that Xu Damao had just returned from showing a movie in the rural commune today. As soon as he returned to the Propaganda Department, he heard a lot of noise in the room, everyone was talking about something with great interest.

He got closer and listened curiously, and found that everyone was gossiping about Yan Xiaoyao, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu in his yard. This instantly aroused his strong curiosity.

Xu Damao quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket, and with a big smile on his face, he passed it around to everyone, and then he couldn't wait to ask, "Everyone, tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"

After the people from the Propaganda Department took his cigarette, they looked at his confused expression and instantly became excited as if by a shot of chicken blood. They transformed into gold medal commentators and rushed to explain to him what happened in the cafeteria at noon.

After his colleagues from the Propaganda Department finished talking, Xu Damao couldn't help but be shocked and filled with surprise.

He thought to himself, I didn't expect that Yan Xiaoyao was such a well-hidden guy. No one had noticed for so many years that his fighting skills were so high. He actually got rid of Sha Zhu with just one move.

Moreover, Director Yang and Director Li actually thought so highly of him. You know, every time Sha Zhu got into trouble, they always made a small matter out of consideration for Yi Zhonghai. I didn't expect that this time, not only Sha Zhu was punished, but Yi Zhonghai was also punished.

Xu Damao recalled that he had been bullied by Sha Zhu since he was a child, and Yi Zhonghai always pretended to be a good guy and took sides, so he had long been dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai. It was a pity that he was one of the few eighth-level workers in the factory, and he could never deal with him.

So after hearing that Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu were punished, Xu Damao suddenly felt refreshed, as if the haze that had been accumulating in his heart for many years had suddenly dissipated a lot, and his whole mood became better, as if he had just had a friendly match with a young widow from the countryside.

He also thought that since Director Yang and Deputy Director Li both valued Yan Xiaoyao so much, he might as well build a good relationship with him. Then he could let Yan Xiaoyao speak well of him in front of the leaders, and maybe he could become a small leader in the future.

Moreover, Xu Damao also thought that every time he and Sha Zhu had a conflict, the uncle Yi Zhonghai would take sides. It just so happened that Yan Xiaoyao had conflicts with both of them, so he wanted to pull him in as a teammate. This way, he would not be so easily beaten by Sha Zhu or targeted by Yi Zhonghai in the future.

So as soon as he got home, he rushed to Yan Xiaoyao's house in a hurry without even taking a breath.

As a result, as soon as Xu Damao arrived at the moon gate leading to Yan Xiaoyao's courtyard, he was so shocked by the scene in front of him that his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide.

The familiar Moon Gate had been transformed. Not only had its appearance changed drastically, but a brand new door had also appeared out of nowhere. There was a big lock on the door, which was flashing a cold light under the moonlight.

Xu Damao was dumbfounded by the scene in front of him. He stood there blankly, muttering to himself: "What's going on? How come I just went to the commune downstairs to show movies for a few days, but now things have changed so much when I came back?" He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating, but when he looked again, the door was still standing there steadily.

Xu Damao, with a confused look on his face, stood there for a long time. Finally, he could only turn around and go home with full of doubts and confusion.

As soon as he entered the house, he couldn't wait to ask Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao'e, what's going on in Yan Xiaoyao's house? Why is there an extra door on the moon gate leading to his house?"

Listening to Xu Damao's anxious face, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but roll her eyes, her eyebrows raised, and she cursed: "Xu Damao, you haven't been home for a few days. The first thing you do when you come back is not to care about your wife, but to care about Yan Xiaoyao. What do you mean?"

"And when did you become so concerned about Yan Xiaoyao? I remember you never paid any attention to him before!" Lou Xiao'e's face was full of confusion, and she stared at Xu Damao, as if she wanted to see some clues from his face.

After Xu Damao got married, he got used to being scolded by Lou Xiao'e and didn't take it to heart.

He paced back and forth in the room anxiously, saying anxiously: "Xiao'e, don't get angry yet. I see that Yan Xiaoyao has also entered the steel rolling mill to work, and the factory director Yang and deputy director Li value him very much."

"I'm just thinking about getting closer to him, so that he can say a few good things about me in front of the leaders. Maybe I can become a small leader, and then our lives will get better and better, right?"

After listening to this, Lou Xiao'e curled her lips in disdain, her eyes revealing deep contempt. She secretly complained in her heart: You know, the steel mill used to belong to her family. If her parents hadn't wanted to find a man from a poor peasant or lower family background, how could she have looked down on someone like Xu Damao.

She looked disgusted and said coldly: "You, you spend all day thinking about these crooked things. I don't want to bother with you."

After a pause, he continued, "Yan Xiaoyao's house has been renovated these days, and this moon gate was only installed these two days. It should be because those people in the yard wanted to rob his house last time, which hurt him, so he installed a gate. I guess he doesn't want to deal with these people in the yard in the future."

On the other side, Qin Huairu had a happy face and walked briskly as if she was walking on clouds. She returned to the Jia family humming a little tune.

Jia Zhang was sharp-eyed. When she saw her happy face, she quickly pulled Qin Huairu, who had just arrived home, to the kitchen and said anxiously, "You look so excited. Did you tell Yan Xiaoyao about what I said to you last night at the factory today?"

Qin Huairu also looked at Jia Zhang with a smile on her face, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and said happily: "Well, Yan Xiaoyao went to the factory leader this morning without saying anything and transferred me to the infirmary. I don't have to do the tiring physical work in the workshop every day in the future."

"After I followed him to the infirmary, I told him that not only did you tacitly approve of what happened between him and me, but you would also cover for us in the future." Qin Huairu said happily with joy in her eyes, a happy smile on her face.

Then, she took out from her pocket the fifty yuan that Yan Xiaoyao gave her when she got off work, and shook it in front of Jia Zhang like she was presenting a treasure, and said happily: "Look, this money was given to me by Yan Xiaoyao today. He said that my family's living conditions are not good and he was afraid that I wouldn't eat well, so he gave me the money to improve my family's meals. He also said that I can come to him for more when I run out of money in the future." Her face was filled with happiness, as if she owned the whole world.

Jia Zhang looked at the money in Qin Huairu's hand like a hungry wolf, with greedy green light in her eyes. She said excitedly, "It seems that this boy likes you very much. He actually gave you so much money at once. How much meat can you buy with this!"
