Siheyuan: I live next door to Xu Damao, my last name is Cao

evening.

The entrance of the courtyard.

Xu Damao rode his bicycle slowly back to the courtyard.

There were two old hens that could still move in the basket, and two bags of mountain products, such as peppers and mushrooms, on the back seat.

He went to the countryside to show movies for three days. This was a personal thank-you gift from the commune, not something he extorted.

Xu Damao was just about to carry the back seat of the car and step over the threshold of the courtyard.

A man came over to help and helped Xu Damao lift the car up.

"Da Mao, I haven't seen you for a few days."

The third uncle looked at Xu Damao with a smile, or rather, he looked at the things in Xu Damao's car with a smile.

"Yes, Third Uncle, I went to the countryside to show movies for the commune. Because the journey was long and the tasks were many, I stayed there for two days."

"No wonder, no wonder." The third uncle suddenly realized, "This is a great job."

There is really enough oil and water!

Looking at Xu Damao's two full bags of mountain products, there was also a big rooster and an old hen.

These things alone cost four or five dollars.

This was just the money he got from showing movies in the countryside. People gave it to him as a gift, and the factory also paid Xu Damao a salary, so he had to make ends meet.

"Thank you, Third Uncle. Please take this mountain product and try it. The commune insisted on giving it to me, so I can't refuse it."

Xu Damao happily took out some mountain products from the bag and handed them to the third uncle.

"Hey, that's enough, that's enough."

The third uncle found a bag at the foot of the house and filled it with the food. He shouted "enough" as soon as Xu Damao started to give him the food, and he didn't stop talking until the bag was full.

"Da Mao, you are so polite."

The third uncle was extremely satisfied. He knew that he could make a fortune by guarding here every day. So many mountain products were enough for them to eat for many days.

"Hey, I can't finish it myself, please help me."

Xu Damao was also very proud, his mustache even stuck up to the sky, he really was good at pretending.

"Uncle, I'm leaving first. Xiao'e is still waiting for me at home."

Xu Damao said hello to the third uncle and pushed the cart back.

"Okay, walk slowly."

The third uncle returned to the house with the bag in his hand, looking very satisfied, and boasted about his success to the third aunt with a smile.

Today’s harvest is really rich.

I'll go to the door later to see if I can receive any good things.

...........

After Xu Damao pushed the cart back home, he put the two chickens in the cage and took the two bags of mountain products from the back seat of the cart home.

"Ezi, I'm back."

After putting the things in front of the door, Xu Damao shouted towards the inner room.

"I'm back. Are you hungry?"

Lou Xiao'e heard Xu Damao's voice and asked casually.

Lou Xiao'e was very happy that Xu Damao came back. She wanted to take Xu Damao to the hospital for a physical examination right away, but she felt that it was a little late, so she gave up the idea.

"Kind of."

"Okay, I'll go cook you some noodles."

Soon, Lou Xiao'e came out of the kitchen with a bowl of scallion oil noodles.

While Xu Damao was eating, Lou Xiao'e told him about this matter.

"Xu Damao, we have been married for almost two years and we still don't have a child. As you know, your mother is very dissatisfied with me now, and there have been rumors outside. I don't know who has the problem between us, so I want to go to the hospital tomorrow to check and see whose problem it is."

Xu Damao felt something was wrong when he heard it, and his face was full of disbelief, "Lou Xiao'e, are you saying that there is something wrong with me?"

"I didn't say there was anything wrong with you, but I've been mad at you for so long, so I wanted to check it out to see what's going on."

Lou Xiao'e was also unhappy. Why did she have to bear all the grievances, while Xu Damao didn't take it seriously?

Xu Damao was also angry. This was questioning his dignity as a man. He could tolerate anything but this.

"I dont go."

After Xu Damao finished eating the noodles, he pushed the bowl away and turned back to the house.

"What? Are you afraid that there's something wrong with you? Are you feeling guilty?"

Lou Xiao'e followed behind and said sarcastically.

I have suffered so much, but he has no sympathy for me at all, and even throws bowls at me and looks at me in a bad way.

You have to go for this physical examination, no matter if you don’t want to!

The two had a big fight, and Lou Xiao'e was so angry that she cried. In the end, Xu Damao compromised.

Xu Damao had to compromise because Lou Xiao'e threatened to divorce him.

Just go, he felt that it was definitely not because of him.

Xu Damao patted his chest. In fact, he still felt a little guilty, otherwise he would have agreed directly when Lou Xiao'e said so.

He had a lot of affairs outside, such as the one in the factory and those pretty widows he met when he went to the countryside. Although many of them seemed gentle to him on the surface, there was some contempt in their eyes. After all, they were not rookies like Lou Xiao'e, they had a lot of experience.

Of course, because Xu Damao was generous and saved time, they were naturally very gentle to him.

............

Jingle bell, jingle bell.

The steel mill's final bell rang on time.

Cao Wei and Jia Dongxu came out of the workshop.

"Cao Wei, you have only been in the steel mill for two years, and you have already reached the level of a third-level fitter. This is amazing."

Jia Dongxu was both envious and jealous.

I have worked in the steel mill for so many years, but I am still only a second-level fitter with no room for improvement. Cao Wei has only been here for two years, and he has surpassed me.

"Well, this is mainly because the master taught me well. Am I not the same as you on a daily basis? This stuff mainly depends on how attentive the master is." Cao Wei said perfunctorily with a smile.

Cao Wei had a master, a level 6 fitter, who taught him for a year and a half, but died of illness half a year ago.

"My master is not much better than your master, why am I still like this?"

Jia Dongxu curled his lips. His master was Yi Zhonghai, a level seven fitter in the workshop. The next step up would be level eight fitter.

"Then I'm not sure, Brother Dongxu, do you feel that the old man has paid attention to teaching you this?"

Cao Wei said casually.

Jia Dongxu was silent for a while. To be honest, he did care about it, but he hadn't taught him for a long time.

"See, this is it. Don't blame me for being harsh. An old man is the only one in our workshop who has you under his wing, but he doesn't teach you any real skills. How can you possibly make progress?"

Cao Wei looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he quietly fanned the flames.

As for sowing discord, he really likes this kind of thing, and he also holds grudges.

Yi Zhonghai just criticized him yesterday, and today Cao Wei tried to sow discord between Jia Dongxu and his master.

Jia Dongxu frowned, as if considering whether what Cao Wei said was true.

Cao Wei curled his lips. He didn't expect that Jia Dongxu would actually consider putting the blame on Yi Zhonghai.

He is really thick-skinned.

This kid is lazy at work and doesn't learn anything. It would be a miracle if he could make progress.

However, Cao Wei would definitely not say anything bad about Jia Dongxu in front of him.
