Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

Back in the office, Xu Damao threw a cigarette to Li Huaide, and they were very casual with each other.

"What happened?"

"Sister Zeng from the Women's Federation came to me. It's about the matter of Jia Dongxu's wife in your yard."

"They said the job at the subdistrict office was just sweeping the streets. The pay wasn't a problem, but the problem was that I couldn't take care of my children, and there was no place to live."

"So Sister Zeng came to me and wanted to arrange something for me at the factory."

"I say, why are there so many troubles in your yard every day?"

Xu Damao rolled his eyes and said, "I don't want to either. I grew up in this yard since I was a child. I can't choose my neighbors."

"Can you arrange it here?"

Li Huaide saw Xu Damao asking about this matter, and his eyebrows twitched immediately: "Why, do you have any thoughts about that young wife?"

Xu Damao said unhappily, "Brother, don't think about this all the time. Be careful that you might get into trouble sooner or later."

Li Huaide said indifferently: "That's impossible. Your brother has always insisted on mutual consent. Nothing will happen!"

Xu Damao shook his head and said, "Let him be. There's no way to persuade him anyway."

"Qin Huairu is my neighbor, and we have an average relationship because I don't get along with her family."

"But I often go to her parents' house to show movies, and I have a pretty good relationship with them..."

"Well, I was attacked that night and she risked her life by shouting to warn me. She almost lost her life."

"So, help if you can."

Although Xu Damao didn't owe Qin Huairu anything, he almost died that day because he had his throat cut in order to remind himself.

So Qin Huairu is not a bad person to herself. She risked her life to save him and said, "She can do what Widow Zhang can do, too." Isn't this obvious?

She is in trouble now, and I have the ability to help her. You decide not to save her. I haven't seen how Qin Huairu repays me yet, and if I just ignore her, I feel like I'm losing out.

Xu Damao touched his nose awkwardly, but Li Huaide had already remembered his expression.

This Xu Damao must be having something going on with that young wife and he's feeling embarrassed about it.

"Okay, since you said that, as your brother, I have to lend a hand."

"The job is easy to find. There are still 20 flexible positions in the steel rolling mill and 10 in the speaker factory. We brothers won't talk about the money."

"It's just a troublesome place. There's really no house now."

"The factory is about to be merged. If she can wait, it will probably take a few months. Once the merger and staff are transferred, the house will be vacated."

"There is another group of senior workers who will be transferred. Will we give you a few rooms when the time comes?" Li Huaide said with a grin.

For others, it may take several years to apply for a house, but for them, these are just resources.

"We'll talk about it when the time comes. If there's any in my yard, just keep it."

"The senior worker is being transferred? What's going on?"

He wondered, aren't we planning to merge the factories? What's the point of transferring the senior workers away at this time?

"All the Level 8 workers have been transferred. It's confidential. The higher-ups won't let us talk about it. I don't know what's going on."

"However, after the merger, we will hold another worker-level examination to select and train a group of senior workers."

Li Huaide was talking nonsense, and Xu Damao thought, it was the beginning of 59, and the 8th-level worker who was said to be able to build an aircraft carrier was transferred here at this time...

Could it be related to Miss Qiu?

As far as I can remember, in 59, senior technicians were selected to go to the Gobi Desert in the northwest. Most likely it was because of this incident.

However, Xu Damao cannot get involved in these matters. There will be a large amount of helium-3 on the moon, but he does not have the technology. Even if he brings it down, the country cannot use it.

These are not what Xu Damao needs to consider. The current problem is that he has a workstation but no house.

Li Huaide also thought about it and proposed a solution.

"Your speaker factory has a three-story building. Why don't you apply to convert it into a staff dormitory? As a transition?"

"Once those senior workers are transferred away and the factories are merged, a number of houses will be vacated. We can make adjustments then?"

Xu Damao's eyes suddenly lit up. This was possible. Not to mention Qin Huairu, many employees in the speaker factory were also short of houses. There would be no problem if they were temporarily converted into dormitories. This would solve the accommodation problems of some workers.

"Is this appropriate? Will Director Yang agree?"

Li Huaide glared and said, "Why don't you agree? The factory doesn't need to pay a penny. Besides, this is my business."

"Just use the workstation at the speaker factory. Besides, your sister-in-law lives in this factory, close to you. It's like this - the one who is close to the water gets the moon first!"

Li Huaide laughed in a nasty way. Xu Damao was so angry that his hands were shaking, but he didn't know how to refute him.

"That's it, thanks, Brother Li. Wait a minute, I brought you some good stuff." Xu Damao said as he went to another room and took out a sack.

Li Huaide was also curious. He knew that Xu Damao could come up with some good things from time to time. These things were much more valuable than the fish and kelp from the Lou family.

"French sausages! White pudding and Toulouse, and Bordeaux red wine, but not from a famous winery."

Li Huaide's eyes lit up: "Damn it! Brother! You can even do this!"

So I quickly took it and read it again and again!

"What a great thing! I have to send it to my father-in-law. I'm going to be proud of myself this time!"

Before he could finish his words, Xu Damao took out some more things.

"Dried sea cucumbers, dried seahorses, these things are aphrodisiacs, you know!" Xu Damao also imitated him and laughed mischievously.

Looking at the two kilograms of dried sea cucumbers and about one kilogram of dried seahorses, Li Huaide was ecstatic. These things are not easy to get!

"Brother, don't say anything, I'll get it done for you right now! Wait for my news!"

So, he picked up the sack and quickly ran away!

----------------

After working overtime for a while in the evening, before leaving get off work, Li Huaide delivered the blank employment notice with a stamp, as well as the factory resolution document for converting the small building of the speaker factory into a temporary dormitory. What a high efficiency!

Xu Damao looked around and saw the factory seal, the director's signature, the secretary's signature, and the logistics seal. In other words, Xu Damao could be assigned at will now. He could register here and get a seal from Li Huaide, and then he could move in.

Isn't this the same as pouring money from the left hand to the right hand?

However, there are 24 rooms on the third floor, all of which are office-sized rooms, about 20 square meters, which is enough.

According to the factory documents, the first floor is a 4-person room, which is prepared for single young apprentices who only sleep here; the second floor is a double room, which is prepared for masters with a certain level of work; the third floor is a single room, which is prepared for employees with families and is slightly more private.

You have to buy all the furniture yourself. To put it bluntly, this is just a temporary employee dormitory in the factory. What other conditions do you want?

In the evening, Xu Damao returned to the courtyard, but saw the four women in his family eating together, Lou Xiaoe, He Yushui, Qin Huairu and Xiaodang - what was going on?

Moreover, Lou Xiao'e said to Xu Damao with tears in her eyes: "Da Mao, please help Sister Huairu, she is so pitiful——"

Even He Yushui had a sad look on her face, and looked at Xu Damao with pleading eyes: "Brother Damao, please help Sister Qin——"

Xu Damao looked incredulous. I just went out to work for one day and you all were conquered?
