Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon
Chapter 42 Returning to Old Xu's House? Meeting Ran Qiuye in the Bookstore
The last harsh words still scared Qin Huairu away.
Xu Damao was a little confused about these people. You have been suffering losses from the beginning to the end, and I have also shown that I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. Why are you all sticking to me like dog-skin plasters?
I'm not a fool, so I shouldn't be of any value to you, right?
They are all so stubborn, what's wrong with them?
Xu Damao sighed and really wanted to move away. He had a lot of things to do on the moon and really didn't have time to argue with these neighbors all day long.
Do you really want me to bow my head and let you control me?
As for?
What virtue and ability have I, Xu Damao, possessed to deserve my existence in the calculations of your pension gang?
But how is it possible to make Xu Damao bow his head and admit defeat?
I am a loser from the 21st century, how can I be bullied by you guys here?
This is the first time for all of us to be human beings, why should I give in to you?
Xu Damao wouldn't do it anyway. His reputation had been ruined by the deaf old lady and others, and his infertility had also spread. What else did he have to worry about?
Just fight to the end! Whoever is timid is a grandson!
After the glass was repaired, Xu Damao hung a big lock on the door and left the other one at home as a backup. Then he turned around and rode his bike to Xu's father's house.
As for the glass in his house, no one dared to smash it for the time being. Just think about the miserable state of the deaf old lady's house and you will understand.
----------------
At noon, Xu Damao rode his bike to the theater where his father worked, and then went back to the small courtyard in the suburbs with his father. To be honest, Xu Damao envied such a small courtyard. Although it was a little off the beaten track and a little small, it was quiet. There wouldn't always be people running into your house for no reason, or holding a big meeting.
Xu Damao, who came from the 21st century, has a strong obsession with private space, so it is impossible for him to identify with the compound culture.
But living in a courtyard house, firstly, there are no extra houses; secondly, a second floor cannot be added during renovation; thirdly, the house belongs to the factory, so it is basically impossible to modify it or enclose it into a small courtyard.
So, when he saw Xu's father's house of more than 80 square meters and a small courtyard of about 40 square meters, he was envious and jealous!
I later learned that because it was located in the suburbs, the theater had reserved 1 mu of private land for each employee's family - that is, 0.1 acres, about 66.7 square meters, for growing fruits and vegetables, etc., and each family had already surrounded it with a fence.
The more Xu Damao looked at it, the more envious he became. Damn, this is what life is all about!
As for my own courtyard, not to mention that it is small, there is chaos all day long. Even when I want to eat good food, I have to avoid people for fear of being stolen or robbed.
Alas... Everything is good here, except that it is too far from the steel mill.
At noon, after hearing the good news from Xu Damao, Xu's father actually opened a bottle of Moutai without any regrets! The two of them drank the whole bottle, and Xu Damao realized that his physique, which used to make him faint after three glasses of wine, had changed?
After asking the system, he finally understood - alcohol poisoning is also considered poison.
I have taken two stages of strengthening potions, one of which is - enhanced resistance to poison!
Xu Damao held the wine glass in a strange way and thought - this is also possible?!
As long as he is close to the state of being "drunk", his body will break down the alcohol on its own, which means he can enjoy the state of being drunk, but can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk...
Isn’t this a foul?
But when I think about the fact that I have a physique like that of Superman, I feel relieved.
Father Xu was already drunk, and Xu Damao easily sent him to bed.
At this time, Xu Damao took out some fruits from the bag hanging on his bicycle, but they were all common pears, apples, oranges, etc., and avocados, coconuts, mangoes, etc. were not common in the city, so Xu Damao did not dare to take them out. As for the seafood, he naturally did not dare to take them out.
This also shocked Xu's mother and Xu Xiaoling, because this fruit was not only very expensive, but the one Xu Damao took out was obviously different from the local ones. In the end, they could only explain away the problem by saying that one of their classmates worked at the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau and that this was a new variety.
Before leaving, Xu Damao gave his mother 500 yuan and told her to remember to store more food. He had a small yard and a cellar at home, so he could do whatever he wanted. The food crisis would begin after the new year, and he couldn't let his parents and sister starve.
Xu's mother wanted to decline at first, because Xu Damao was getting married soon and needed money for various purposes. But after hearing Xu Damao's serious arrangements and analysis, she realized that the harvest next year would definitely not be good. Moreover, she recently heard rumors on the street that the ration would have to be reduced further, so she did not push it off anymore.
It is only natural for a son to spend the money he earns from work on his parents.
Xu Damao touched his sister Xu Xiaoling's head again. The little girl was neither fat nor thin. She was much more nutritious than He Yushui, and her face had a lot of collagen. When Xu's mother was not paying attention, he secretly stuffed two yuan into Xu Xiaoling's pocket, all in one-cent notes, a thick stack.
"Hide the pocket money your brother gives you and spend it sparingly. Don't let your parents find out, okay?" Xu Damao whispered to Xu Xiaoling. Xiaoling is only 10 years old now and is in primary school. In fact, she has almost no place to spend money, but Xu Damao thinks that girls should be raised in wealth and should not be allowed to get used to being stingy.
"Yeah! Got it, thank you brother!" Xu Xiaoling was so happy. In the past, her brother only gave her a few cents during the Chinese New Year, but today he was really generous! Could it be because he was going to get married soon?
"You should only carry two or three dimes with you every day as a backup. Don't spend it all at once. Don't show off your wealth, you know?"
Seeing Xu Xiaoling's money-obsessed look, Xu Damao still reminded her.
"Yeah!" Xu Xiaoling nodded while counting the money one by one, as if she was afraid of making a mistake in the amount.
Looking at this family, Father Xu was drunk and snoring on the bed, Mother Xu was cleaning the house and preparing to store food for the future, and Xu Xiaoling was still counting every penny. Xu Damao smiled, this is a normal family.
After saying something to Xu's mother, Xu Damao rode away on his bike. As for whether the Lou family would continue to marry off their daughter tomorrow, they would decide tomorrow.
----------------
After lunch, Xu Damao strolled to a bookstore not far from Nanluoguxiang to look for some information.
As a result, I couldn't find the magical book "Militia Military Training Manual" that I had traveled through time and space, but I could find "Militia Basic Knowledge", so I bought it without hesitation!
There is no "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" and no "Friends of Military and Civilian Talents". Xu Damao was confused for a long time. Has it not been published yet?
What about "Postpartum Care for Sows"?
"Lin Hai Xue Yuan" was published last year, I bought it!
"How the Steel Was Tempered", bought it!
I couldn’t find some of the others, so I bought some books related to socialism and put them next to my bed to ward off evil!
"World Map by Country" and "Latest World Map" are both sold!
"Practical Handbook of Mechanics"? "Concise Machinist's Handbook"? What was mixed in here?
But it doesn’t matter. The main thing is that Xu Damao was thinking, if he goes to Madagascar again next time, what should he bring them?
It seems that they have been separated from China for quite a long time. The buildings and the conditions of my compatriots that I saw that night were even worse than those in the countryside here. There was no sign of industrialization at all.
So, it’s better to bring some books to them so that they can have some understanding of this world and this era.
I am so worried about Madagascar.
By the way, I need to buy a few more dictionaries!
Xu Damao suddenly felt an evil pleasure of buying Huanggang secret papers for his relative’s children!
Just when I was about to pay, I happened to see a book called "Song of Youth" on the bookshelf. It was just published this year, so I bought it!
Just as Xu Damao stretched out his hand, a small hand stretched out from the side.
"Oops, sorry comrade, I didn't see anyone else..."
A girl immediately apologized to Xu Damao, but when Xu Damao looked carefully -
Damn, is this Ran Qiuye? !
Meet Yu Li in the morning and Ran Qiuye in the afternoon?
What happened today?
And why is this body so excited?
Is it because of lust, or is it because he met a woman who has a relationship with Sha Zhu that he is so excited?
But this time Xu Damao was experienced. He did not blurt out her name, nor did he observe her too much.
It’s best to keep contact to a minimum—we’re busy going to the moon!
"You can take this book. I've already bought enough."
After saying that, Xu Damao took out the book "Song of Youth", handed it to Ran Qiuye, then turned to the counter to pay and left.
"Comrade, you bought so many books, you must be a book lover, right? Thank you for giving me this book, or I will send it to you after I finish reading it?" Ran Qiuye is 17 years old now and has just returned to China. He is curious about everything. The long-faced, sunny and handsome man in front of him bought a large basket of books. He must be an intellectual who loves reading, right?
However, "Basic Militia Knowledge", "World Country Map", "Concise Mechanic Manual"...
What exactly did he study?
Xu Damao said without even turning his head: "No need, I bought these to give as gifts, I won't read them myself."
Ran Qiuye expressed disbelief, so Xu Damao had to take out 5 copies of the "Xinhua Dictionary" from the pile of books, which slightly increased the credibility.
Who in their right mind would buy five copies of the Xinhua Dictionary at once?
Ignoring Ran Qiuye's curiosity, Xu Damao paid the money and left. He still had to go to the stationery store to buy pens and paper... Xu Damao was really worried about his compatriots in Madagascar.
No, next time I go, I’ll have to get more fruits and seafood!
Xu Damao spent the whole day busy. Although he was a bit busy, it was better than arguing in the courtyard. Running back and forth for what he wanted to do, Xu Damao felt that this was what a normal life should be like.
However, he didn't know that a conspiracy was taking place in the steel mill because of him, and Yi Zhonghai and others had not given up yet.
----------------
"Master, are you going to let Xu Damao's grandson continue to be so arrogant?" Jia Dongxu cunningly encouraged Yi Zhonghai in a corner of the steel mill. The two were squatting in the corner to rest, and Jia Dongxu was very flattering and fanning Yi Zhonghai with a torn paper shell.
Yi Zhonghai took a sip of the water in the teacup and said gloomily: "No hurry"
"I have one last trick!"
(There will be another one in the evening)
