Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

After Lou Xiao'e left, Xu Damao rode his bike back to the courtyard, put away the divorce certificate and 900 yuan, and then went out to the south of the city. Anyway, as long as he didn't have a screening mission in the countryside, he didn't have to report to the steel mill every day. Yesterday, the head of the propaganda department gave him three days off. Now that the divorce procedures were completed, he had to go and talk to Gao Jun.

After Zhang Renkang arrived at the steel mill, he first inspected the six canteens, explained the situation, and then returned to the planning office next to the second canteen. When Chen Wei saw Zhang Renkang coming back, he said excitedly:

"Brother Renkang, I have set a date. It will be this Sunday. You and your sister-in-law must come to attend my wedding."

As he said this, he looked at Yu Li with a smile. Yu Li was very happy to hear Chen Wei's address. Without waiting for Zhang Renkang, she smiled and said

"Okay, Wei Ge, Ren Kang and I will definitely go there when the time comes."

Zhang Renkang laughed

"Now you have got what you wanted."

Chen Wei said with a smile

"When are you two going to do it? I'll go and help you then."

When Yu Li heard Chen Wei's question, she also looked at Zhang Renkang. She also wanted to know how Zhang Renkang planned for the two of them. Now that Chen Wei had asked, she could ask again.

Zhang Renkang laughed

"Let's wait until next June, and then consider the time after the Chinese New Year."

Hearing Zhang Renkang's words, Yu Li felt relieved. As long as Zhang Renkang didn't intend to keep her hanging, it would be fine. Zhang Renkang continued

"You have to arrange for two vehicles from the transport team. You must inspect them when the time comes, so that there won't be any problems with the vehicles."

Chen Wei nodded and said

"Don't worry. There is another comrade of mine in the transport team. Let him be the driver. The two of us will drive the car and bring four security officers with guns to escort us. We will be safe."

Social security is still a bit bad these days. A large number of guns are circulating among the people. If things go wrong, someone might rob the convoy with guns, Zhang Renkang said.

"It's generally not a big problem. It's only a few kilometers away from the city. If there is a special situation, I will prioritize my own safety and the safety of others. It's okay if the supplies are lost."

Chen Wei nodded in agreement. Zhang Renkang explained the matter and went to the office building with his hands behind his back. When he was about to reach Li Huaide's office, Zhang Renkang took out a bottle of whip wine from the space while no one was on the stairs and knocked on Li Huaide's office door.

As soon as he entered, Li Huaide saw the bottle in Zhang Renkang's hand and asked excitedly

"Renkang, is this the wine?"

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Director, don't underestimate this. These are the essences. Just one or two a night will be enough. Tell your friends not to drink too much. They are very strong."

Li Huaide nodded and said

"Well, I will remind my friend when the time comes. If it really works, this thing will be of great help to me."

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

“It’s OK if you think it will work.”

Zhang Renkang said

"I've let it go. Please go and inspect the cafeteria. The assessment will be held next month. We need to recruit more talented chefs from our cafeteria this time."

Li Huaide nodded and said

"Please leave it here and take good care of the canteen and the planning department. After next year, I think you should be promoted to a full-time deputy section chief."

Zhang Renkang stood at attention and promised to

"Thank you for your cultivation, Director. I will work hard."

After saying goodbye to Li Huaide, he went to the planning department to slack off.

Xu Damao arrived in the south of the city. When he sent Gao Jun back yesterday, he already knew which courtyard Gao's family lived in. He bought some candy from the supply and marketing cooperative and a pound of pork belly from the market, then arrived at Gao Jun's courtyard. Pushing the cart into the courtyard, Xu Damao asked the old lady at the door.

"Auntie, which room does Mr. Gao live in?"

The lady at the door saw Xu Damao wearing neat clothes and pushing his bicycle and said with a smile:

"Young man, are you here for a blind date? Which house is the Gao family's?"

"The girl from the Gao family is so pretty, there are so many of them here."

Xu Damao was also happy when he heard this. Gao Jun chose him among so many people he went on blind dates with. Doesn't this show that he is the strongest?

(Silly Zhu: No, no, this dish is too difficult, I can’t make it, I can’t make it)

Xu Damao pushed the cart in the direction the old lady pointed, and saw Gao Jun coming out of the house. Gao Jun was also very happy to see Xu Damao coming. They had agreed yesterday that Xu Damao would come to Gao Jun's house to propose marriage today. Gao Jun shouted into the house,

"Dad, Mom, Gao Yuan, Xu Damao is here"

Gao Qi was so happy yesterday when he learned that Gao Jun had won over Xu Damao, and Xu Damao was willing to pay a hundred yuan as a betrothal gift. Not only did it solve Gao Jun's problem of finding a new partner, but it also allowed him to buy Gao Yuan a house for his wedding. Today, he specially took a leave to wait for Xu Damao to come to his home.

Gao Qi came out and saw the pork belly on Xu Damao's handlebars and said with a smile

"Da Mao, why are you buying things when you are here?"

He took the bicycle, helped Xu Damao to support it and continued

"Da Mao, you need to save money these days and stop being so polite in the future."

Xu Damao said with a smile

"Uncle Gao, this is my first time here, how can I come here empty-handed?"

As they talked, they entered the house and discussed the two of them. Xu Damao said

"Uncle, I told my parents that although this is my second marriage, our family will also solemnly welcome Junjun into the family. I have also brought the betrothal gifts today. What do you think of the date?"

Gao Qi saw that Xu Damao had brought the betrothal gifts and said with a smile

"Since you two are destined to be together, how about this weekend?"

"We can go to your compound to hold a banquet and get married directly. If it's convenient for you, you can go and get the certificate today."

Xu Damao was very happy to see the Gao family being so forthright. It was just a hundred dollars for the betrothal gift, wasn't it? Anyway, it didn't cost Xu Damao any money. Xu Damao said happily.

"Don't worry, we'll get the certificate in a moment."

With the full cooperation of the Gao family, Xu Damao took Gao Jun to Nanluoguxiang to get the marriage certificate. At the Nanluoguxiang Street Office, Director Wang stared at Xu Damao and Gao Jun in amazement. She had never seen a divorce in the morning and a marriage in the afternoon. What was Xu Damao doing? Xu Damao smiled and handed a bag of wedding candy to Director Wang and said

"Director Wang, this is the person I just found, Gao Jun. We are planning to get married now. Can you please start the paperwork for us?"

Then he handed over his and Gao Jun's IDs. Although Director Wang didn't understand, he followed the principle of not ruining a marriage, so he asked Gao Jun if he was willing and issued them the IDs. Director Wang planned to go to Zhang Renkang to ask what was going on in their courtyard and why there were so many strange things.

Xu Damao took the street office's certificate with Gao Jun to the police station. They obtained the marriage certificate to the astonishment of the police station staff. Xu Damao said happily:

"Junjun, now we can be together, right?"

As he spoke, he leaned forward to kiss her. Gao Jun smiled and pushed him away, saying shyly:

"There are other people here, why are you in such a hurry to go home first?"

Gao Jun was relieved to find Xu Damao to take over the goods. As long as someone took over, it would be fine. This would not only protect his reputation, but also allow Xu Damao to help their Gao family.

Xu Damao happily took Gao Jun to the courtyard. As soon as they entered the door, they were stopped by the three aunts at the door. The three aunts looked at Xu Damao and Gao Jun suspiciously and asked:

"Xu Damao, why are you back so early? Isn't this the girl who went on a blind date with Zhuzi a few days ago? Are you here to see Zhuzi?"

Xu Damao said with a smile

"I say, Auntie, what are you talking about? This is my wife."

Then he took Gao Jun's hand and said

"This is the aunt of the Third Uncle Yan's family in the front yard. Just call her Third Aunt."

Gao Jun called out to Auntie San softly, which frightened Auntie San and made her stunned. How did this girl become a couple with Xu Damao? Where was Lou Xiaoe?

The three aunts asked in surprise

"Xu Damao, what's going on with you? Where's Lou Xiao'e?"

Xu Damao said disdainfully

"I divorced the eldest daughter of that capitalist a long time ago. My wife is Gao Jun now. Please don't mention that capitalist to me."

As the three aunts stared in amazement, Gao Jun was dragged to the backyard. Gao Jun followed Xu Damao into the hanging flower gate. Xu Damao introduced

"Originally, the other families are fine, but you should pay attention to these families. Next to this is the Jia family. The old hag of the Jia family is a notorious lazy shrew. There is also a widowed daughter-in-law with three children. Stay away from them in the future. It will be troublesome if you get involved with this family."

"This is the home of the former great uncle. He was dismissed because he tried to sow discord between a father and his son and coveted their living expenses. He is a hypocritical old man, a family with no descendants. Be careful, he has many evil intentions."

"The two in the middle are Shazhu, a reckless and foolish man in the yard. I don't get along with him. This guy covets the body of the widow of the Jia family. You know some of his stories. I will tell you in detail later."

It was cold in the yard in winter. Jia Zhangshi hid in the house to keep warm and didn't see Xu Damao coming back, which saved her a lot of trouble. Xu Damao took Gao Jun into the backyard from the west side of Shazhu and said

"This is the east wing, it's the second uncle Liu Haizhong's family. This old man is very irritable and beats his son every day. He's such a loser and he still wants to be an official."

Gao Jun pointed to the large windows in the west wing and said

"Whose house is this? The window is so bright."

Xu Damao said with a sour taste

"There is a cadre in our hospital. This is his home. He is Zhang Renkang, the deputy director of the canteen."

"We have an okay relationship, right?"

Xu Damao didn't know that Zhang Renkang was still the head of the planning department. He had been in the countryside for a while and hadn't been back to the factory many times. Xu Damao pointed to the main house in the backyard and said

"The two rooms over here belong to us, and the one over there belongs to the oldest deaf old lady in the yard. This old thing has always treated Sha Zhu as her grandson and often throws tantrums."

Gao Jun nodded and said

"Are there not many good people in your courtyard?"

Xu Damao said

"You will know later. There are really not many good people in this courtyard. Zhang Renkang is one of them."

Xu Damao excitedly took Gao Jun back to his room, lit a coal briquettes to keep warm, and couldn't wait to hold Gao Jun's hand and kiss her. Gao Jun was also anxious to have sex with Xu Damao and quickly find a place for the baby in her belly, so she reluctantly agreed to Xu Damao's request.

......

Five minutes later, Gao Jun looked at Xu Damao with a bad face. Xu Damao explained awkwardly:

"I'm too nervous. Let me calm down, Junjun."

Gao Jun took advantage of Xu Damao's inattention and quickly took out the small amount of pig blood that Gao Qi had given him from his clothes pocket and dripped it onto the bed sheet. He looked at Xu Damao with dissatisfaction but still comforted him.

"Da Mao, wait a couple of days, you might be too tired"

Xu Damao was so moved that he hugged Gao Jun and said affectionately

"Junjun, you are really my good sweetheart"
