Xu Damao has already calculated that Lao Mo's meal just now cost at least forty-five yuan.
In other words, he still needs to find someone to borrow twenty yuan.
Who can I borrow from?
The richest man in the courtyard is Yi Zhonghai, whose salary is 99 yuan. Including factory benefits, he can get more than 100 yuan a month.
but.
Yi Zhonghai expected Sha Zhu to support him in his old age, and Xu Damao and Sha Zhu were enemies, so Yi Zhonghai would definitely not lend it to him.
In the courtyard, other families are relatively poor and may not be able to afford twenty yuan.
Except Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong.
Yan Bugui now makes a lot of money collecting scraps, and can even afford a radio box.
Although Xu Damao had given Yanbu Gui mountain goods before, and the relationship between the two families was pretty good, he still had no confidence in borrowing money from Yanbu Gui.
Just kidding, Yan Jiekuang said that after he and Yu Li got married, if they lived at home, they would have to pay rent to Yan Bugui.
Then only the middle bangs are left.
Liu Haizhong is a seventh-level blacksmith in the steel rolling mill, with a salary of 78 yuan. His biggest wish in life is to be an official, but due to his low educational level, he was rejected several times.
Thinking of this, Xu Damao's eyes lit up.
He straightened his collar and went to the door of Liu Haizhong's house with his hands behind his back. Far away, he heard a sound of children crying for father and mother from Liu's house. This sound was intertwined with the sound of belt touching flesh, destroying the courtyard.
The harmonious atmosphere inside.
"This old Liu really doesn't care about the influence of the masses at all. How can he still be a leader like this?"
Xu Damao cursed and knocked on Liu's door.
"Zhi Ning"
Liu Haizhong held a copper-tipped belt in one hand, opened the door with the other, and looked at Xu Damao in surprise: "Da Mao, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao have always had a good relationship. On the one hand, Xu Damao often gives him wild goods and lets him serve as food and drinks.
The second aspect is that they are both official fans and have common topics. In their free time, they often discuss major events in the factory together.
Xu Damao nodded. He is now the propaganda officer and is qualified to show off in front of Liu Haizhong.
"Then wait a minute." Liu Haizhong frowned and closed the door.
He hasn't had enough!
When Xu Damao saw the blood stains on the copper-headband, he sighed in his heart: "Isn't this old Liu afraid that Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian will grow up and tear down their homes for him? What a fool!"
Then, the sound of a belt being whipped came again inside the house, followed by a roar.
After four or five minutes, Liu Haizhong opened the door with a cheerful smile and let Xu Damao into the room.
"Da Mao, I brought half a kilo of old wine from the tavern yesterday. Can you try it?"
Liu Haizhong was particularly happy to see his ‘old friend’.
In addition, Xu Damao is now a propaganda officer, and he is also a cadre.
Of course he couldn't neglect it.
After saying that, Liu Haizhong turned around and told the second aunt: "Old lady, bring up the plate of peanuts in the cupboard. Today I want to have a drink with brother Damao and discuss national affairs together."
"Second uncle, you're welcome. I'm here today. I have something good to tell you." Xu Damao was in a hurry to go to Lao Mo to pay. He was not in the mood to have a drink with Liu Haizhong, so he stopped him in a hurry.
"What a good thing? Then let's drink!" Liu Hai was so happy that he stood up and walked quickly to the cupboard, pushing the second aunt away: "I really don't have the eyesight. Brother Damao is here, why are you lingering?"
The second aunt is about to cry but has no tears. In the past, she was not such a generous owner of bangs.
Although he had a good relationship with Xu Damao, they were not good enough to let Xu Damao drink wine and eat peanuts.
Just now, the second aunt thought Liu Haizhong was just being polite and was wasting time intentionally.
Liu Haizhong brought peanuts and a wine bottle, poured a glass for Xu Damao, and then poured a glass for himself.
Before Xu Damao could react, he said: "Da Mao, second uncle, please do it first!"
He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, tutting twice.
It's not that he sincerely gave in to Xu Damao, but it was his old habit.
Every time I finish spanking my child, I feel uncomfortable without drinking a glass of wine.
Xu Damao was also a good drinker, so he became rude and drank the wine in one gulp.
At this time, the comfortable bangs opened his mung bean-sized eyes and asked curiously: "Da Mao, what's the good thing?"
"You are going to make progress!" Xu Damao looked serious.
"Progress?" The center of the bangs was ecstatic at first, and then frowned.
Last time, Yi Zhonghai deceived him into donating ten yuan to the Jia family on the pretext of helping him advance to the eighth level blacksmith.
However, Yi Zhonghai did not provide any help during the promotion exam.
Afterwards, Liu Haizhong questioned Yi Zhonghai, but was given a lesson by Yi Zhonghai.
The eighth-level worker is the technical leader of the factory and has a heavy responsibility. Liu Haizhong's skills are not qualified. If Liu Haizhong is really promoted, Liu Haizhong might cause a big mess.
In short, there is one sentence, that is, it is for Liu Haizhong's benefit that Liu Haizhong is not promoted.
Liu Haizhong was not an idiot like Silly Zhu, so of course he knew that Yi Zhonghai was deceiving him.
However, there is nowhere to complain.
If people in the factory find out about using the backdoor, they might be fired.
Therefore, when Liu Haizhong heard the word "progress" now, he subconsciously felt that Xu Damao was trying to deceive him.
Xu Damao is such a shrewd person. He instantly understood the worries in his heart from the pig-headed face in his bangs.
He immediately put on a straight face, threw the wine glass on the table, and said in a cold voice: "Second uncle, I haven't said anything yet. If you look like this, I will go back and tell the generals and colonels that Comrade Liu Haizhong is in charge of the workshop
The junior leaders are not interested, so they don’t have to take the time to tell Factory Director Yang.”
After saying that, he stood up angrily and walked out without looking at Liu Haizhong.
"Where is the general? Director Yang?"
Liu Haizhong chewed on these two words that sounded awe-inspiring, and trembled all over.
He quickly stood up and stopped Xu Damao.
He said with a flattering smile: "Brother Damao, wasn't I afraid of being deceived by Lao Yi? You also know what happened last time. Lao Yi deceived me into donating money to your Jia family, but later on, he didn't have any strength at all.
.”
"Am I a villain like Yi Zhonghai?" Xu Damao still looked angry. He reached out and tapped Liu Haizhong's forehead: "I think we have a good relationship, and you, Comrade Liu Haizhong, are a good leader.
I only thought of you when I found the material useful, but I didn’t expect you to bite Lu Dongbin and not recognize a good person’s heart.”
"Forget it, just pretend I haven't been here, and you can just be your seventh-level blacksmith."
With that said, Xu Damao walked around the bangs and walked outside again.
Xu Damao's resolute attitude made Liu Hai Zhongzhong even more convinced about this matter.
Think about it, if Xu Damao was deceiving him, he should have deceived him just now.
