During the morning working hours, Master Xu Damao and his apprentice went to the countryside again.

Lou Xiao'e hired a rickshaw, and Sha Zhu carried Yu Haitang on his 28-inch bicycle.

Qin Huairu walked with the eldest and second uncles.

As soon as Lou Xiao'e arrived at the office, she put down her bag and went to find Deputy Section Chief Zhao, and mentioned that she wanted to go to the Northeast with her comrades from the Purchasing Department.

Deputy Section Chief Zhao answered very straightforwardly that his say did not count in this matter and asked him to go find Section Chief Wei.

When she got to Section Chief Wei, he didn't refuse, but tried to persuade her for a while. Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Section Chief Wei told her to go back and wait for news, and he would consult the factory leaders.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e returning to the office listlessly, Zhu Zirui hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sister E, what happened to you? Did you get criticized?"

"You are the one who got criticized."

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and sighed, "Don't mention it. I want to go to the Northeast with the comrades in the procurement department. Deputy Section Chief Zhao said he couldn't make the decision and asked me to find Section Chief Wei. Section Chief Wei asked me to wait for news."

Zhu Zirui comforted her, "Don't worry, Sister E, just wait for the news."

Lou Xiao'e frowned: "How long do we have to wait? If we wait any longer, they will all leave."

"I think this will probably not work out." Zhu Zirui curled his lips.

"Why?" Lou Xiao'e widened her eyes.

"Isn't this simple? Our factory's purchasing department went to the Northeast to buy production materials, not to travel. Why would you, a member of the inspection department, go with them?"

Lou Xiao'e said anxiously: "I don't care, I just want to go anyway."

Zhu Zirui shook his head helplessly: "Then you have to have a legitimate reason. You can't just say you want to go. Besides, even if Section Chief Wei agrees, will the factory leaders agree? This is a business trip, not a joke."

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e felt that what Zhu Zirui said made sense, and she felt even more depressed.

At this moment, a voice came: "Team Leader Lou, Section Chief Wei wants you to go to his office."

Lou Xiao'e stood up suddenly, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes. She quickly ran to Section Chief Wei's office. "Comrade Xiao'e, after the factory leaders' discussion, they have agreed that you and the comrades from the purchasing department can go to the Northeast together." Section Chief Wei said to Lou Xiao'e with a smile.

Lou Xiao'e was overjoyed when she heard this. "Really? Thank you, Chief Wei! Thank you, factory leaders!"

"However, Comrade Xiao'e, this trip to the Northeast is not just a business trip. You also have an important mission." Section Chief Wei said with a serious expression.

"What mission?" Lou Xiao'e asked puzzledly.

Section Chief Wei looked at her and said, "This trip to the Northeast is very important. As a supervisor of the factory's supervisory department, you must supervise the entire process and have the courage to report. Don't let the factory leaders down."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, "I understand, Chief Wei. Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task!"

After leaving Section Chief Wei's office, Lou Xiao'e excitedly told Zhu Zirui the good news, and Zhu Zirui was also happy for her.

"Sister E, you must perform well this time in the Northeast. Maybe you can get a promotion and a raise when you come back!" Zhu Zirui said with a smile.

"Okay, I get it!" Lou Xiao'e said with a smile, "By the way, Ruizi, I'd like to trouble you to take care of the work of Group 3 while I'm away."

"Don't worry, Sister E. I'm here. I guarantee everything will be fine." Zhu Zirui said, patting his chest.

Lou Xiao'e smiled, her heart full of anticipation.

Xu Damao, didn’t you disagree? Look, I handled it myself. Are you surprised?

What Lou Xiao'e didn't know was that Xu Damao would give him a bigger surprise.

Zhu Zirui brought two braised pig's trotters made by his grandmother today.

Lou Xiao'e also brought braised prawns and spicy cabbage.

It was definitely God's will that they were assigned to the same office.

These two foodies really love to eat.

In the afternoon, the two of them went to the area they were in charge of for a walk, and when they came back to the office, they just read the newspaper and talked about everything. They drank tea...

After get off work, Xu Damao came to pick up Lou Xiaoe, which was rare.

"My husband finally came to pick me up from get off work."

Xu Damao said in a bad mood: "Wife, sit tight, let's go home."

I asked Xu Damao on the way and found out that the master and disciple had separated today and Junwei would be back later.

Xu Damao went to Xiakanzi Village today. A centenarian in the village has not been feeling well these days, and Xu Damao was concerned about him, so he went to Xiakanzi to do some shopping these days.

This old lady is a pitiful person. Her husband passed away early, and she has a lot of children and grandchildren, but none of them is truly kind to her.

The old lady was the eldest daughter of a landlord and had a hot temper.

In addition, he has lived for too long, so his personality is inevitably a bit eccentric.

She had given all her children and grandchildren to various families, and was now all alone, not a burden to anyone and not caring about anyone.

But somehow, Xu Damao caught her eye. Every time she saw Xu Damao, she felt like she was seeing her own grandson. She loved him even more than her own grandson.

Although Xu Damao was a bad person, he really took good care of the old man.

Knowing that she had bad teeth, I tried to buy her some soft and glutinous cakes in the old city and bought her some malted milk.

If you don’t know, you might think this is a relationship between a grandfather and a grandson.

The old lady died in the first half of the night yesterday.

When he arrived at the village, the old man had already been buried.

Xu Damao was unable to see him for the last time.

After the funeral, the village chief, the village party secretary, and several respected elders in the village stated the old lady's last wishes in front of the whole village.

The house and land were given to the village as a token of gratitude for their care over the years.

Except for a dressing table left for Xu Damao, all other items in the house could be given away, thrown away or burned, all at the discretion of the villagers.

Originally, the descendants wanted to fight for it, but after seeing the attitude of the village chief and the party secretary, they backed off.

The village paid for the funeral banquet to entertain those who came to pay their respects or help.

When Xu Damao heard that the old lady had left him a dressing table, he refused with a wry smile.

But the witness refused to do so. When the old lady passed away, she told you, the projectionist, not to forget to burn paper for her on holidays. She also told us to leave the dressing table to you as a keepsake. If anyone dared to disobey her wishes, she would visit him at midnight every day.

Who dares to do this?

Didn’t the village chief send a few strong men and the only tractor in the village to return the dressing table and Xu Damao?

Several people worked together to carry the dressing table into Xu Damao's room.

After lifting it, a few people were still muttering: "This dressing table looks quite old, why is it so heavy?"

Lou Xiao'e was quite curious about this dressing table. Why did the old lady insist on leaving it to Xu Damao?

I’m afraid this dressing table is not simple!

I have a guess in my mind, but I have to see the real thing to confirm it.

She had originally wanted to show off to Xu Damao that her leader had approved her trip to the Northeast, but now it seemed that this matter could be discussed later.
