Xu Damao tilted his mouth towards the direction of the table. Zhang Jialiang looked over and saw that there was indeed a person in the yard who was two years younger than Zhang Jialiang and the same age as Liu Guangqi. After arriving at the backyard, he ran straight to Liu Guangqi and handed him a cigarette.

The two of them were childhood friends and classmates, but Liu Guangqi was admitted to a technical secondary school, while this guy dropped out of school after junior high school and now has a temporary job in a factory.

Just as Xu Damao said, Liu Guangqi did not take the cigarette from this person. It seemed that he looked down on the Da Shengchan cigarettes that this person handed to him.

Then the two of them talked indifferently, and I don't know what they said. The man left the table with a flushed face, and didn't even eat the meal. Of course, he didn't even offer any gifts. He actually went straight back to his home. It seemed that he was very angry.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Jialiang decided to ignore Liu Guangqi. Not only had he not changed, but he had become even worse than when he was a child.

Who is pampering him? The more you approach this kind of person, the more he takes himself seriously. Don't pay attention to him and just ignore his existence.

You still have to bring gifts when you eat at someone's house, otherwise no one can afford it these days. Also, each person has a certain amount of food coupons per month, so you have to bring food coupons when you eat at someone else's house, otherwise the family you are eating at will go hungry that month. So the table where Liu Guangqi was sitting had to go again.

Zhang Jialiang went straight to the table, found Yan Fugui, and handed Yan Fugui a two-cent note and half a pound of grain coupons. He was responsible for keeping accounts in occasions like this, and it had become a routine in the compound.

"Uncle, this is my share, keep it!"

"Okay, Liangzi, find a place to sit down. The meal will be served soon."

"Okay, got it!"

"Congratulations, Uncle!"

"Okay, let's celebrate! Guangqi's becoming a cadre is a source of pride for our compound!"

When Liu Haizhong saw Zhang Jialiang, he congratulated him and his smile was so wide that he couldn't close it. His face was flushed and he was in an extremely excited state.

After saying hello, Zhang Jialiang returned to their table without paying any attention to Liu Guangqi.

"Okay, Liangzi, just ignore that idiot, that's the way it should be!

It's also because I'm inexperienced and came too early, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered with that idiot!"

"You are all frustrated. My relationship with him has never been very good. Even though we lived in the same compound, we never spoke to each other since we were young. We had almost no communication.

If I went, the result would be the same as yours. I won't spoil him and I'm too lazy to pay attention to him.

Well, another person who overestimated his own abilities has gone there. Look, Yan Jiecheng has gone there. Their relationship used to be pretty good. He and Liu Guangqi were the only ones in the compound who could talk to each other. I wonder how they are doing now?"

“I think it’s enough!

Liu Guangqi is now a cadre, an eighth-level clerk, while Yan Jiecheng doesn't even have a job. The status of the two is now so different, and the outcome is unlikely to be any better."

Sure enough, although Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangqi talked for a while, he soon left that table and came to their table. Judging from his face, he didn't look very good, probably because he was upset.

Although each family in the compound can only send one person, the families of the three stewards are special cases and can send one more person. The three stewards represent the entire compound, not their families, so Yan Jiecheng was able to come.

"Xie Cheng, what have you been busy with recently?

We haven’t gotten together for a long time. Let’s get together when we have time, and Liangzi can come too.

When I come back from my trip to the countryside to show a movie, bring an old hen with me and we'll stew it. I also have a bottle of good wine, so we can drink it together."

Xu Damao handed Yan Jiecheng a cigarette and greeted him with a smile.

Yan Jiecheng didn't smoke much, but he never refused when someone handed him a cigarette. After lighting the cigarette and hearing that Xu Damao wanted to treat him to dinner and drinks, his expression became better again.

"Okay, old hens are good things, delicious and nutritious.

We haven’t eaten meat since the Chinese New Year, and I’ve even forgotten what meat tastes like.

Thank you, Brother Damao. I will accompany you and Brother Liang for a drink then."

When Yan Jiecheng heard that there would be meat and wine for the meal, he couldn't stop smiling.

"You and Liu Guangqi used to have a good relationship. You are the only young man in our compound who can talk to him.

Why do you look like you didn't have a good conversation today?"

Xu Damao looked curious.

"He is now a cadre, and I am just a peasant. How can he look down on me?"

Yan Jiecheng had a look of self-mockery on his face. Thinking about what had just happened, he became depressed again.

"Okay, it's not just you, your brother and I are the same, you made me sick without even saying a few words.

He is really too arrogant and takes himself too seriously. Let's just ignore him.

You see Liangzi is smarter, he just ignored him!"

"is it?

Brother Liang is really smart. We don’t need to pay attention to him anymore. He was arrogant enough before. Now that he has graduated from technical secondary school and become a cadre, he takes himself even more seriously! "

He was originally very unhappy because he was offended, but when he heard that Xu Damao felt the same, the two of them seemed to have something in common. In addition, they both despised Liu Guangqi, so Yan Jiecheng and Xu Damao soon became close.

"Liu Guangqi and I were not close to begin with, and we didn't have a good relationship. Although he is doing well now, I don't ask him to do anything for me, so why should I bother with him?"

"That's right, he's just an idiot!"

Zhang Jialiang also joined in. When people attack someone that everyone dislikes together, the distance between people quickly shortens. This is how the three of them did. Soon they became close and had a feeling of sharing a common hatred for a common enemy.

However, what Zhang Jialiang felt puzzled was why Xu Damaoer suddenly became associated with Yan Jiecheng?

He was also invited to eat meat and drink wine. This must have been intentional by Xu Damao. This boy is very cunning and has his own purpose in everything he does. It is impossible for him to pay the price for no reason.

However, Zhang Jialiang didn't pay attention to such things. There were too many things going on in this compound. He didn't want to manage them and couldn't manage them all. He just took care of himself. He could participate in the meals and drinks, and if there was anything, he would think about it himself.

The meal started, and just as people expected, Liu Haizhong was showing off the whole time, praising his son and showing off his family.

I am a level 6 worker in a steel rolling mill, and my son is a technician in a machinery factory, receiving the treatment of an level 8 clerk. This fully demonstrates my family's good educational environment and my ability to educate my children.
