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

Xu Damao did not tell Li Mingmei about what happened in later life, but just gave a brief explanation.

"Just like Chinatowns around the world, when we set up factories in other countries, we have to take care of our Chinese compatriots to some extent."

"If you rent an island, you will be relatively freer and avoid conflicts with the locals, just like last time in Hong Kong."

"I may be invincible, but running around is troublesome, right?"

"Finally, security companies, just like the soldiers of the Crescent Nation, must have some power to protect themselves."

After listening to Xu Damao's explanation, Li Mingmei nodded in agreement, and then ordered his men to send a telegram to Lou Yufan.

The money earned by the speaker factory is now enough to cover the expenses of Crescent Kingdom, and China has also begun to purchase special cement in large quantities. Combined with China's aid, etc., Crescent Kingdom will not lack funds for survival materials, infrastructure, medical care, education and other aspects for a long time.

It is impossible to catch up with China all at once, but if we become stronger than Mada and reach the prosperity of a town in China, there will be no problem.

Therefore, Li Mingmei is now in China, taking care of her pregnancy and going to school.

She boasted that her knowledge has now reached the level of a junior high school student, and the teachers all praised her for learning quickly and well!

No, my current physical fitness is 10, the peak level of a normal human being. It is the result of spending so many points to exchange for strengthening potions.

Seriously, even if she is pregnant with quadruplets, she can beat up Shazhu or her apprentice Kasar with certainty!

As physical fitness improves, observation and memory also improve accordingly. It is normal to go from elementary school knowledge to junior high school knowledge in a short period of time.

While chatting, Li Mingmei learned that Xu Damao and his colleagues were going to have a big dinner party at the factory and she also wanted to go.

But given her status, it was impossible for her to go to the steel mill - why?

Even if it was a visit, as a foreign leader attending a big dinner at a steel mill, and as a pregnant woman, you would need someone to accompany you, right? Someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would also have to go, right?

Things are getting so serious, how can the Russian experts still drink properly?

If I can’t get him drunk, what if the operation fails?

Besides, there are no steel companies in Crescent Kingdom, so why do you want to visit the steel mill?

That's just looking for trouble.

After analyzing this with Li Mingmei, she understood it, but she was a little unhappy because she also wanted to have some fun.

So Xu Damao gave her an idea.

"Can you bring the officials from Crescent Nation to have a dinner party at the embassy?"

"You can also invite your classmates to a banquet... If your classmates are too young, you can invite the teachers who taught you knowledge."

"Anyway, we have enough food in the New Moon Country. As for the cook, it would be convenient for us to hire the help from the embassy."

"Or maybe ask Moth to hold a tea party, and then you get invited to attend."

When she heard Xu Damao say this, her eyes lit up.

"Oh yeah, there's nothing wrong, we can do it ourselves!"

"I'll go discuss it with my elder sister this afternoon!"

Thus, the first tea party of the Crescent Kingdom Embassy was successfully opened.

Those invited included some officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, officials from Xinyue Country who were receiving adult continuing education in China (auditors), school teachers, Lou Xiao'e (from the outside world's perspective, she had a good relationship with Li Mingmei, after all, her elder brother and husband worked under Li Mingmei), Ran Qiuye (Lou Xiao'e's book friend), He Yushui, Yu Haitang and others.

Lou Xiao'e let it slip, so He Yushui wanted to come and see it, and He Yushui also let it slip, so Yu Haitang had to come. Yu Li was studying hard at home, she had to get into a good school to show Xu Damao, and she couldn't let down the 250 yuan.

In fact, the money had not been used up yet, and Xu Damao would send some food to their family from time to time.

Qin Huairu, Widow Zhang and Liu Lan could not fit into this circle because they had low educational levels and there were too many outsiders, so they did not come.

Xu Damao sent Lou Xiaoe and the others over that day, and then went to the factory to continue slacking off.

In such an environment, he had nothing to talk about. When others looked at him, they always felt that he was benefiting from Lou Xiao'e's influence and was no different from a woman who married into the wife's family.

Anyway, it's definitely a bigger scene than Lao Mo's. For this tea party, Xu Damao got out a lot of French ingredients. After all, Madagascar used to be a French colony. It's reasonable to prepare some French food, right?

Enough meat!

Especially the various French specialty sausages, breads, red wine and coffee, plus the various seafood from Madagascar, which made everyone enjoy the meal to their heart's content.

But unexpectedly, Li Mingmei had to do it once a month. She was free anyway, and had nothing to do except studying. If she had any official business to deal with with China, the officials under her were more than enough to handle it. You couldn't let a pregnant woman go to meetings every day, right?

Gradually, Li Mingmei also gained fame in the circle of high-level female comrades.

A young woman, a leader of a country, good friends with China, fashionable, traveled to many countries, had the resources of an entire country in her hands, and had a distinguished status...

This is simply the benchmark for all women of this era!

As a result, even Li Mingmei's dressing style became the object of their imitation.

He Yushui, Yu Haitang, and Ran Qiuye also became celebrities in the school because they knew Li Mingmei and attended the tea party held at the Embassy of the Crescent Kingdom.

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

Jia Zhang's eyes have been acting strange recently and she has been acting mysterious. She always disappears in the morning and comes back at night, and sometimes she doesn't even cook dinner.

Zhang Dafa and Bang Geng didn't know what to do. Neither of them knew how to make steamed bread, and were too lazy to make cornmeal porridge.

Banggeng no longer dared to steal things in the compound, mainly because he was beaten too badly last time and Qin Huairu was very harsh when she disciplined him.

So in the end I was extremely hungry and had to go to Zhima Hutong to ask Qin Huairu for food.

No matter how much Qin Huairu dislikes Banggeng, he is still a piece of flesh and blood that she gave birth to. If a child comes to you because he is hungry, you have to give him a bowl of rice, right?

Bang Geng was not allowed into the house. There was already a dining table and a shed in the yard, and Widow Zhang and Qin Huairu had always cooked together.

So they had a full meal in the yard.

Banggeng didn't say a word throughout the whole process. After all, he had broken Qin Huairu's heart before and had even scolded her.

He is 7 years old now, not too old or too young, and with Jia Dongxu's death, his stepmother is gone, his uncle beats him, and his grandmother is the boss, so it's hard to get food and drink. Although his uncle didn't say anything bad about him, he ignored him...

I understand some things to some extent.

But you asked him to apologize to Qin Huairu and admit his mistake?

He just didn't know how to bring this up.

After eating and drinking, Qin Huairu thought about it and gave him a dollar when she left.

"Hide it yourself. If you're hungry, you can buy some food or come to mom's place. If it's not enough, tell me and I can still take care of your meal."

"You can't steal other people's things anymore."

Banggeng was stunned for a moment, nodded, and left the yard.

He was hesitating. In fact, he also felt that his grandmother was acting a little abnormal recently, but he didn't know whether he should tell Qin Huairu.
