Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

Chapter 23 The Xu Family’s Father and Son

The next morning, Xu Damao, dressed neatly and with his hair combed meticulously, walked out of the house as if he didn't care about anyone. Whenever he saw someone, he would cough twice to attract their attention.

Xu Wude, who was traveling with his son, stood up straight with a smile on his face that showed that good things were coming.

The second aunt in the backyard was the first to discover the father and son. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Lao Xu, are you going to take Damao to a blind date? Is Damao old enough?"

After holding it in for so long, Xu Wood finally got the chance to show off, and immediately said with a cheerful smile:

"This Damao has been learning to project movies with me since he graduated from junior high school. I was away yesterday because I had an urgent matter, but the factory suddenly had an urgent projection task and couldn't find anyone, so someone thought of letting Damao take over his father's business."

Old Xu looked very proud and raised his voice: "Guess what happened? Damao really made me proud. He didn't make any mistakes and completed the task perfectly. He was immediately hired as a projectionist by the boss of our steel mill."

After hearing this, the second aunt thought it was bad luck, but she still smiled and complimented him: "Da Mao is a smart kid, he will definitely have a bright future. Okay, you guys go ahead, I still have to wake up Lao Liu for breakfast."

Both the Xu couple have jobs, and their living standards are much higher than those of the people in the compound, which has already made Second Aunt jealous. Now Xu Damao also has a decent job and shows off in front of her. How can she not be angry?

As I said, I’m not afraid of my neighbors living a hard life, I’m just afraid of my neighbors building a building and driving a Land Rover!

Seeing the second aunt return to the house, Xu Wude still felt a little unsatisfied, but the smile on his face became brighter.

He had originally planned to announce this great news last night, but he didn't expect that the Han family would have a double celebration, and the effect of announcing the good news would be greatly reduced.

But now it seems that this is a good thing, because after thinking about it all night, Lao Xu came up with a more perfect excuse.

He could praise his son's face as much as he could and let people in the hospital know that he got the job based on his own ability, and not because of his connections.

Being rich and loving to show off, this is the main reason why the Xu family is not liked by people in the courtyard; they stew meat and steam fish every now and then, and often wear new clothes and buy delicious food.

The most important thing is that the Xu family members are very smart, and few people can take advantage of them.

Xu Wood's voice just now was very loud, and the residents in the backyard were forced to hear it all; many people sneered at this, but they were really envious in their hearts.

Being a movie projectionist is such a lucrative job, one will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life, but he can't help but complain that God is blind and that he can't have such a good thing!

After staying in the backyard for a while, the Xu father and son swaggered to the middle yard.

By the pool in the middle courtyard, Sha Zhu, who had recovered, was washing up.

Xu Damao couldn't wait any longer, and said with pride: "Shazhu, from today on, I will go to the steel mill to show movies."

The two of them had been at odds with each other since childhood. Whenever Xu Damao had something delicious or fun, he would go to find Sha Zhu to show off, and this time was no exception.

Sha Zhu instinctively wanted to say something insulting to Xu Damao, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips. He just smiled reluctantly and said perfunctorily, "That's a good thing."

After saying this, Sha Zhu concentrated on washing his face, making quite a lot of noise, and it was obvious that he didn't want to listen to Xu Damao's bragging anymore.

As the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser. After being beaten by Han Li, Sha Zhu learned his lesson and became a prudent person. He was afraid that Xu Damao would suddenly go crazy and fight him to death one day.

Xu Damao was confused. What was going on? Was Shazhu still asleep?

The words I was planning to use to show off were stuck in my throat, making me feel very uncomfortable.

At this moment, the door of Jia's house opened.

Xu Wude immediately raised his voice and said to Sha Zhu: "This Da Mao followed me to learn how to project movies after graduating from junior high school..."

Lao Xu didn't care whether Sha Zhu was willing to listen or not, because what he said was for everyone in the Intermediate Court to hear.

Old Xu often talks about the fact that his son graduated from junior high school. This is because his son is the only one among the younger generation in the courtyard who graduated from junior high school. He is an intellectual and a cultured person.

After showing off in the middle yard, the Xu father and son came to the front yard.

After Yan Bugui heard about the Xu family's wedding, he immediately activated his passive skill: "Oh, I was wondering whose wedding it was when I heard the magpies chirping so early in the morning. It turns out it's yours. For such a big wedding, we have to set up a few tables tonight to make it lively."

Of course they had to celebrate, but Xu Wude didn't want to let the people in the courtyard take advantage: "This is really unfortunate. My husband got excited last night and booked a table at Cuihua Building, saying that he wanted to have a good time with the whole family."

Although he rejected Yan Bugui, he started to show off that he was going to eat out tonight, which made people hate him.

Knowing that Old Yan would not give up, Old Xu changed the subject directly: "Old Yan, when Old Han and his family move in, your front yard will be very lively. Well, today is Damao's first day at work, so you can't be late. His uncle will treat you to a drink when he is free."

As they were talking, the Xu family's father and son quickened their pace and left the front yard.

Yan Bugui still did not give up and shouted hurriedly: "If it doesn't work tonight, it will work some other day."

However, the father and son of the Xu family did not stop, but walked straight through the hanging flower gate.

Yan Bugui snorted, "What kind of people are they? The poor are stingy, and the rich are also stingy, making me waste my saliva in vain."

After the Xu family's father and son walked out of the front yard's hanging flower gate, they were planning to go directly to work, but Xu Wood suddenly stopped and walked towards the direction of the Han family in the outer courtyard.

If it were in the past, the outer courtyard could be completely skipped, but even though it was different from the past, they had to give the Han family face.

Furthermore, sharing (showing off) for a while is fun, and sharing (showing off) all the time is fun all the time.

So, Han Li understood that in this "precious ginseng" transaction, Xu Wood also gained a commission and a job.

However, in comparison, Xu Damao's job as a projectionist is much more valuable.

As for Xu Wude's boasting about his son's excellent performance in completing the screening task, Han Li didn't believe a single punctuation mark.

Not to mention whether Xu Damao could learn to project movies just after graduating from junior high school, just considering the expensive movie projector, Xu Damao probably didn't learn it more than a hand, and even this was probably begged by Old Xu.

You know, there are more than just Xu Wood who can show movies under the Lou family. How could they let a newbie touch the expensive movie projector?

Moreover, valuable property like movie projectors must be strictly guarded, so how could Xu Damao be allowed to practice with it at will?

But as the old saying goes, if you see through something but don't say it out loud, you can still be friends.

Han Li was happy to turn a blind eye and watch the Xu father and son perform hard.
