No one knew about Qin Huairu's worries for the time being, but in Sha Zhu's room, Qin Lian told Sha Zhu not to deliberately seek trouble in the future.
As someone who had plotted against Xu Damao and then became Xu Damao's ex-wife, Qin Lian was very clear about some of Xu Damao's quirks.
"Don't worry, I won't provoke him for no reason." Shazhu knew that his wife was worried, so he promised.
Qin Lian rolled her eyes. She didn't believe Sha Zhu's guarantee. Who told him not to deal with Xu Damao?
She didn't ask Sha Zhu to avoid Xu Damao everywhere, she just hoped that the two of them would cause less trouble, otherwise they would have a headache.
"Hurry up and cook. I'll fetch the old lady and the aunt. We have agreed to have a meal together today." Qin Lian said, pointing to the kitchen. Silly Zhu stood up and walked to the kitchen.
Go, and said as he walked: "Yan'er and Liu Siyuan are in the front yard, go and call them by the way."
"How can I forget my daughter?" Qin Lian snorted, opened the door and walked out.
Just when Qin Lian was helping the old lady to the middle courtyard, in the backyard room, the second uncle Liu Haizhong's house was at home. He was worried and ready to make a move.
What worries me is that Xu Damao has been promoted. I offended him some time ago, and now I feel angry when I meet him. Xu Damao is now gaining momentum. If he wants to take revenge, what else can he do?
However, at this time, he was more ready to take action, because Xu Damao's sudden promotion gave him hope.
Xu Damao can be promoted by leaning towards Deputy Director Li, why can't Liu Haizhong be promoted?
He, Xu Damao, is a movie projectionist. He can rise to the rank of deputy director in one step. But will he, a seventh-level worker, be more valued by Deputy Director Li?
The more I thought about it, I couldn't help but tremble in my bangs, not with fear, but with excitement, extremely excited.
If it weren't for the wrong time, he would have gone to see Deputy Director Li at this time.
After calming down a little, he became more determined that he must lean towards Deputy Director Li.
As long as he leans towards Deputy Director Li, he can be promoted, and then the threat posed by Xu Damao's promotion will naturally be eliminated.
When he thought that he would be famous not only in this quadrangle, but also on the "stage" of the steel rolling mill, the second uncle's movements of smoking in his bangs were fast and furious, as if this was the only way to suppress his impatience.
"You are shaking all the time, are you sick?" the second aunt said at an inappropriate time. The second uncle almost choked on the cigarette in his bangs. He was about to curse, but when he saw the concerned look in the second aunt's eyes, he swallowed the curse words.
go back.
"I'm not sick." He rolled his eyes and hummed back.
"You're not sick, are you shaking like this?" The suspicion in the second aunt's eyes did not disappear, and she looked closely.
"You know nothing!" Second uncle Liu Haizhong couldn't help it anymore. At this time, he needed to vent his emotions.
As if he had found a listener, he spoke out his thoughts, and became more and more excited as he spoke. The second aunt couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. She had seen this scene many times.
"It won't end in a joke again," the second aunt said leisurely. It was true that the second uncle had gone through several twists and turns, but the ending was not very happy.
"What a fart joke, can it be the same this time?" Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, hummed confidently: "Just wait, I will go to Deputy Director Li tomorrow, and then you can wait for the good news."
"So simple?" The second aunt didn't believe it. When did it become so easy to get promoted? Is it possible to do it?
"He Xu Damao can do it, why can't I?" Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, snorted and continued: "In terms of prestige in the steel rolling mill, Xu Damao is far behind me when compared to me."
"Look at how he became deputy director as soon as he took refuge with Deputy Director Li. I must be more important than him."
The second aunt stopped asking. There were some things she didn't understand, so it was hard to tell. As for whether things would work out, we would wait until the results came out.
No one knew about the conversation between the couple. Also in the backyard, Yu Haitang was facing the congratulations from everyone with a stiff face. Of course, there were also some strange words directed at her. Xu Damao was promoted, but she, Yu Haitang, did not follow her.
Xu Damao's life was good, but he was full of contradictions.
I don't think you are better than me. The complexity of human beings in this aspect is vividly demonstrated.
Yu Haitang also knew that with Xu Damao's sudden promotion, there were many people who wanted to see Yu Haitang's excitement and jokes.
After everyone dispersed, Yu Haitang finally managed to deal with it. When he returned to the room, he still couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth.
Regarding Xu Damao's sudden promotion, Yu Haitang was just shocked when she found out about it. She calmed down and didn't react much.
As the broadcaster in the factory, coupled with her knowledge, she can naturally see some things.
She didn't know what would happen if Xu Damao got involved in such a thing, and she didn't care about Xu Damao's outcome.
On the contrary, Xu Damao's sudden promotion gave her an opportunity to divorce.
Ridicule is definitely inevitable. Yu Haitang knows how hard Xu Damao suppressed it. Now that he is gaining momentum, his reaction will be huge.
Divorce and searching for the life she longs for again are the decisions Yu Haitang has already made in her heart.
This marriage with Xu Damao taught her too many things, and she was confident that in the future she would avoid some things that she had ignored before.
…
Just when Yu Haitang was thinking about his future, a drunk Xu Damao had already arrived at the entrance of the alley.
Today's meal made him feel comfortable licking, eating, and drinking.
After coming out of the steel rolling mill, he couldn't wait to hurry back to the courtyard. He had already gained momentum and really wanted to see the reactions of some people in the courtyard.
For this reason, he also went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cigarettes and candies. He was promoted, so we must be happy together.
Carrying the bag, Xu Damao stretched out his hand and patted his face, as if this would dissipate his drunkenness, and then hurried straight to the courtyard.
Entering the front yard, Xu Damao deliberately stamped his feet a little harder.
Taking out the cigarettes and candies, Xu Damao went to the third uncle Yan Bugui's house.
"Third uncle smokes, third aunt, you eat candy." Passing cigarettes and giving candy, Xu Damao spoke with such humility, saying that he was valued by the leader and would serve everyone wholeheartedly in the future.
Regarding Xu Damao's attitude which looked modest but was actually showing off, the Third Master Yan Bugui suppressed his displeasure and showed a flattering smile on his face, and his words were full of flattery.
The third uncle Yan Bugui's performance made Xu Damao feel comfortable, really comfortable.
Right, that’s what it has to be!
He, Xu Damao, should live like this, instead of living a life of frustration and pain.
The two of them were polite to each other for a long time before Xu Damao went to Yu Li's house.
After the door was closed, the third aunt said: "Looking at his arrogant look, those who didn't know would have thought he was the director of the factory."
"Keep your voice down." The third uncle Yan Bugui glared at the third aunt: "Let him win if he wants to win, and flatter him when he needs it. As long as he can help get things done, I will just lick him."
OK."
"You want to lick it, but I can't do it." The third aunt glared back at the third uncle and snorted: "Don't let me get involved in this, huh."
Seeing that the person next to him had gone to the inner room, the third uncle Yan Bugui's mouth twitched, and then he sighed again.
Xu Damao didn't know that the third aunt had such a big reaction. Even if he knew it, he didn't care. He suppressed it so much that he wanted to prove himself in this way now.
"Listen to what he just said, it's so irritating!" Yu Li closed the door and huffed angrily. Yan Jiecheng smiled bitterly and said, "Who told us to stand on Yu Haitang's side when Yu Haitang quarreled with him?"
Listening to these words, Yu Li felt a toothache. The quarrel between Xu Damao and Yu Haitang was an unreasonable conflict. Could it be that instead of standing on her sister's side, she could help Xu Damao bully her sister?
Thinking of what Xu Damao said just now, Yu Li snorted and lay down on the bed to sleep.
At this time, Xu Damao had already arrived at Lin Jiaguo's house. After passing out cigarettes and giving out candies to a group of boys, Xu Damao patted Lin Jiaguo's shoulder and said with a smile: "Jiaguo, your craftsmanship is good. Today we don't have any
Stop talking about this."
"You have to work hard from now on. Don't worry. If anything happens at the steel rolling mill in the future, please take care of me."
"Then thank you, Brother Xu." Lin Jiaguo responded with a smile. When Xu Damao went to Nanyi's house, he looked at Xu Damao's back and couldn't help but twitching the corners of his mouth.
After closing the door, Li Xiuzhi chuckled and looked at her husband: "Jia Guo, Xu Damao just praised you as a leader. How is it? Do you feel comfortable?"
Lin Jiaguo rolled his eyes, wife, are you sure you didn't say anything sarcastic!
But when he thought of Xu Damao's gesture just now, Lin Jiaguo couldn't help but laugh, and even said hello when he had something to do. He could speak so smoothly and naturally in any situation.
"Daughter-in-law, do you think Xu Damao and Sha Zhu will fight later?" Lin Jiaguo suddenly thought of this question. In front of them, Xu Damao was already in this posture, so in front of Sha Zhu, he would
What will it be like?
"It's very possible!" Li Xiuzhi expressed his judgment. Everyone in the courtyard didn't know that Silly Zhu had been holding Xu Damao back for a while. Now Xu Damao was showing off his drunken attitude. Who knew what he would say?
What comes out, what comes out.
"Then don't sleep for now. Let's take a look later." Lin Jiaguo chuckled. Silly Zhu may not necessarily like Xu Damao anymore. Xu Damao can be a leader after he gets promoted, and Silly Zhu can also hit people.
Xu Damao finally staggered to the middle courtyard. The door of Lin Jiaguo's room opened, and several people from Nanyi walked in. Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and in the end they couldn't help laughing.
"I have always known that Xu Damao has a bad temper, but today is so bad, I am convinced." Liang Ladi complained, and Li Xiuzhi chuckled and said: "I was still analyzing whether he would do it later.
I will fight with Silly Pillar."
Nan Yi laughed, this may be true. Xu Damao, who does not drink, is just a gesture. Can Xu Damao, who drinks alcohol, control his emotions?
"Then just wait and see." Liang Ladi smiled and sat down by the stove, waiting for any movement, and then went to the middle courtyard to watch the excitement.
At this time, in the middle court, Xu Damao did not go directly to Shazhu's house, but started with the first master Yi Zhonghai.
After Xu Damao left, he smoked the cigarette that Xu Damao handed him. Yi Zhonghai smoked the corner of his mouth without closing the door, because he had a similar thought, that is, Xu Damao was so energetic that he had something to say to Silly Zhu.
At Qin Huairu's house, Xu Damao didn't say much, which made Qin Huairu subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.
"Look at how proud he is, I'm sorry." Mrs. Jia Zhang sighed, with a look of displeasure on her face. Xu Damao's triumphant state was simply the biggest irritation to her.
Qin Huairu didn't say anything about Jia Zhang's reaction, but actually applauded it in her heart, because she was also unhappy with Xu Damao's triumphant appearance.
One by one, Xu Damao finally came together, and his eyes were set on Shazhu's house, which had already opened the door.
There was a lot of movement, so Sha Zhu naturally opened the door to see what was going on. When he saw that it was Xu Damao handing out cigarettes and candy, he knew he couldn't avoid it.
He simply opened the door and waited. He wanted to see how good Xu Damao could be.
Qin Lian also stood aside and waited. She also knew that she could not avoid it. She just hoped that the two of them would not make too much noise to avoid fighting.
"Hey, Silly Zhu, you still know how to open the door to welcome guests, you are so sensible." When he came over, Xu Damao opened his mouth and started teasing. Silly Zhu laughed and said: "Xu Damao, you are passing cigarettes and giving candy at the same time.
Yes, why, you don’t want to hear my congratulations."
"I hope to hear your congratulations." Xu Damao smiled and handed Shazhu a cigarette and Qin Lian candy. Then he turned his eyes to Shazhu, waiting for Shazhu's congratulations.
Silly Zhu lit the cigarette, took a few puffs, and then smiled and said: "Xu Damao, your cigarette made me hoarse. Now I can't say congratulations. What should I do?"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Lian almost covered her head. Good guy, this is the right time.
Xu Damao's mouth twitched and he looked at Silly Zhu, knowing that this grandson was trying to spite him.
"Silly Zhu, I know you are unhappy. I don't care whether you want to congratulate me or not. As long as I know that you are unhappy right now, that's enough."
Xu Damao, who was drunk, sounded much more arrogant. Silly Zhu looked at him and was about to retaliate, but was pulled back by Qin Lian.
"Xu Damao, congratulations." Qin Lian spoke out to smooth things over. Xu Damao looked at Qin Lian with a big belly, narrowed his eyes, and then said with a smile: "You are my ex-wife, your congratulations, I am more
I feel comfortable."
After saying that, he turned his eyes to Shazhu again and said with a smile: "Sinzhu, you are so young in front of me."
"See, she was my ex-wife first, and then your current wife." Xu Damao pointed at Qin Lian and then pointed at himself, proudly saying: "Now, you are just the person in charge of the second canteen, I
I am the deputy director, and from now on, you will also be under my control."
"So what do you have to do? You don't have what I have, and you pick up what I don't want. You have to do it."
At this time, Xu Damao vented his jealousy and grievances through his drunkenness.
As soon as these words came out, Qin Lian's face darkened, and Silly Zhu's fist was already aimed at Xu Damao's nose.
"Hey young!"
With a cry of pain, before Xu Damao had time to react, Shazhu had already raised his fist again.
Qin Lian didn't pull it, nor did she want to pull it, because what Xu Damao said just now was too much.
What do you mean by "pick up what I don't want"? These words hurt not only her, but also Si Zhu's dignity.
Just fight, what are you trying to do? Let Xu Damao understand that there are some things, so don't open your mouth.
"I'll let you get mad, I'll let you talk nonsense." Silly Zhu beat Xu Damao until Xu Damao screamed. Everyone in the middle courtyard saw it, but no one tried to stop him.
Firstly, what Xu Damao just said was indeed too much. Secondly, Xu Damao was so angry today that everyone was unhappy.
Soon, Lin Jiaguo and the others came to the middle courtyard and saw Silly Zhu pressing down on Xu Damao and beating them. They all looked as expected.
No one stopped, Xu Damao was in pain from the beating. Now, his drunkenness had dissipated a lot. Seeing that Silly Zhu was going to continue to beat him violently, he hurriedly said: "Silly Zhu, Silly Zhu, don't hit, don't hit."
."
"I said the wrong thing, I apologize, that's it!"
He decisively gave in. If he didn't give in, it wouldn't work. If Si Zhu was beaten again, he would have to lie in the hospital. It was at his critical moment, so he couldn't lose the big for the small.
Lin Jiaguo and the others, who were "late in coming", finally came to pull people away. Seeing the two of them being pulled away, the first man, Yi Zhonghai, suppressed a smile and said, "You two are fighting again. What happened? Did I turn on the light?"
Come out and let you fight in front of everyone, and then everyone will judge who wins and who loses."
"I can still be afraid of him." Shazhu snorted, stared at Xu Damao and said: "If you talk nonsense again, I will just throw him in the snow and bury him."
Xu Damao subconsciously wanted to retaliate, but when he looked at Silly Zhu's fist, he thought of what he had just said. If he could retort or something, forget it.
Damn it, why can’t you suddenly say something like that!
Knowing that his pretense failed, Xu Damao wanted to give himself two slaps. Silly Zhu's beating turned Xu Damao's pretense into a joke.
However, Xu Damao couldn't refute him at this time. In fact, if he had just said that, anyone in the position of Silly Pillar would have hit him. If he didn't hit him, he would be looked down upon.
Seeing Xu Damao pretending to be an idiot, everyone almost couldn't help but laugh. Qin Lian came over at this time, stared at Xu Damao closely, and said word by word: "Xu Damao, I am indeed your ex-wife. There are some things you should not say.
It's so unpleasant to hear, but he is still from a courtyard house, and he can't see you when you look up."
"I said something wrong, I apologize, okay." Xu Damao was helpless. He had already sobered up a lot, and he regretted what he had just said.
He was indeed jealous of Sha Zhu. He hated Qin Lian for marrying Sha Zhu and gave birth to a child to Sha Zhu. As time passed, he felt uncomfortable.
When he didn't drink, he could suppress these emotions, but just now, he was too proud and vented his pent-up emotions. No, he couldn't pretend to be cool, and he got a beating in vain, which was a big loss.
Qin Lian didn't say anything else, and took Silly Zhu back to the house. At this time, Xu Damao still had the nerve to continue showing off, and walked away to the backyard.
"Haha..." One person finally couldn't hold back a chuckle, and then everyone couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Hahaha……"
The roar of laughter made Xu Damao stagger when he walked to the backyard, and his face turned red like a monkey's butt. I don't know if it was the effect of the wine or a direct reaction of shame.
Touching his bleeding nose, Xu Damao cursed Silly Zhu secretly again, "Okay, let's find another chance to deal with Silly Zhu. We can't do it tonight."
Xu Damao pushed the door open and entered the house. He saw Yu Haitang sitting by the stove. He went to wash up first.
"Why didn't you help me just now? Didn't you see me being beaten by Silly Zhu?" Xu Damao pointed his finger at Yu Haitang. Yu Haitang looked at him and wanted to laugh a little, but she held it back.
Could she know that Xu Damao was showing off? As for Xu Damao's movements in the front yard, he hadn't even reached the middle yard yet, and everyone in the middle yard and the backyard knew about it.
Regarding this matter, Yu Haitang didn't want to get involved, but what she didn't expect was that Xu Damao would actually pretend to be an idiot, which made her laugh even thinking about it.
"I didn't hear any noise." Yu Haitang gave her own explanation. Looking at Xu Damao, she said calmly: "When I hear the noise, you will all disperse."
"You think I will believe it!" Xu Damao's lips twitched. After his IQ regained the high ground, he knew that Yu Haitang was lying.
"I really didn't hear anything." Yu Haitang insisted that this was the reason, and didn't say much else. Xu Damao looked at her and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Find me some medicine to rub it on. This grandson of Silly Zhu is too vicious. If I find a chance, I will have to deal with him crying for his father and mother."
Yu Haitang was already used to this kind of scene. She got up and got the medicine, then came over and wiped it for Xu Damao.
"Is this medicine not expired?" Xu Damao asked. Yu Haitang almost couldn't hold back and wanted to laugh out loud. He returned the medicine and said it was expired. Haha, you are the only one who gets beaten up by Silly Zhu from time to time. You always have preparations for this medicine at home.
