Siheyuan: abandoning moral qualities and enjoying an immoral life

Wang Hongtao's words really touched Xu Damao's heart.

He may not be very happy if someone says he is good, but he will definitely be very happy if someone says he is better than Sha Zhu.

"That's right, how can Shazhu compare with me? He's just a cook who serves people, I don't even want to compare with him!"

Having said that, Xu Damao felt indescribably relieved.

Braised pork head, chicken, fried cabbage, and peanuts.

These four dishes are still good side dishes even today.

In that difficult time, let alone meat, steamed corn bread with cabbage, pickles and potatoes were the mainstream food at that time, and even with that, people were still afraid of not having enough to eat.

Especially in the countryside, in order to save food, people basically eat two meals a day, eating liquid food when they are free and dry food when they are busy.

I often go to bed before it gets dark, not for any other reason but so that I don’t feel hungry when I fall asleep.

"Come on, brother. Let's eat some food first, then drink some wine."

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

As he spoke, Xu Damao opened a bottle of Niulanshan and poured it for both of them.

"Why don't we give some to your sister-in-law? It's rare to have such a good dish to go with wine." Wang Hongtao advised calmly.

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him: Do you want me to drink? You obviously want...

Instead, Xu Damao poured it directly for Lou Xiaoe.

"Old Wang is right. We are happy today. Ezi, you should drink some too."

"You really didn't see what happened today! We two brothers teamed up to teach those old man and Sha Zhu a lesson! Right, brother?"

Sha Zhu was always foul-mouthed, and Lou Xiao'e was annoyed by him. She was also very interested in hearing about Sha Zhu's misfortune, and asked, "Oh? Tell me how you cured it?"

So Xu Damao described the situation vividly again: "Well, your man is smart, right? I only spent 20 cents to watch a big show!"

"By the way, brother, what about the thief who broke into your house???"

"The matter is settled. Uncle, please help me make up for my losses. As for the rest, I will let you settle the matter with the thief yourself." Wang Hongtao waved his hand and didn't want to say more.

Xu Damao pointed at Wang Hongtao and smiled: "You kid, you look honest but you are actually full of evil intentions. You even dare to take advantage of an old man!"

"So what? Who asked him to bully us in the hospital? He kept asking us even though we hadn't received our salary yet. Were we giving him face?!"

"Besides, there are only two people in the uncle's family. He earns so much money every month that he can't spend it all. What's wrong with me helping him spend some?"

Wang Hongtao raised his chin and said confidently.

Xu Damao was shocked by this shameless look, and he felt lucky that this boy was his own and had never offended him.

Otherwise, he would rely on you...

"Good job, Lao Wang. This is a relief for me. I toast to you, brother!"

Chapter 34 Brother Big Hat, if you want to get promoted you have to go to the countryside more often!

The two of them enjoyed a little wine and some meat, it was so comfortable.

Wang Hongtao would tease Lou Xiao'e with his feet under the table from time to time, making Lou Xiao'e so angry that she gritted her teeth.

In a blink of an eye, the bottle of wine was almost finished and half of the food was gone. Wang Hongtao asked with a smile: "Big Hat Brother keeps saying nice things, is there something wrong?"

Xu Damao chuckled: "I know you are a cunning man, Old Wang. I saw through you at the first sight."

"I'm talking to you nicely, but you're calling me a thief and a whore. You're making me look like a dishonest person."

"Right, sister-in-law?"

Lou Xiao'e said unhappily, "What kind of good thing do you think you are?"

"Hey, don't talk about Lao Wang like that."

"Old Wang used all his evil deeds on the old man and Sha Zhu. He was just acting on behalf of heaven and upholding justice!"

"It's not that great. As long as Big Hat doesn't mind and doesn't think I'm a bad person, that's fine." Wang Hongtao winked at Lou Xiaoe as he spoke, as if to say, "Did you see that? You're still praising me for that!"

Lou Xiao'e was so confused that she didn't know what to say. She thought to herself, are you two talking about the same thing?

And you, Xu Damao, you didn't even try to cover the green hat on your face? You really deserve to be cheated!

So he turned his face away and ignored the two of them, not even bothering to avoid their little movements under the table.

"Tell me, Big Hat Brother. If there's anything I can help you with, I'll definitely help you."

"That's what happened. I was thinking that even though you are from the countryside, you can be Director Li's driver. This shows that you definitely know how to get along with leaders."

"I would like to ask how I can get along well with my boss."

"I, Xu Damao, consider myself to be meticulous in my work. I have shown movies for three consecutive years with zero accidents. I get along well with my colleagues and I am even more humble in front of my leaders. If the leader tells me to go east, I dare not go west. If the leader tells me to beat the dog, I dare not chase the chicken.

But why have I never been valued by my superiors and they just treat me like a clown? "

After drinking half a pound of wine, Xu Damao gradually let himself go and took the opportunity to express the confusion in his heart.

It is actually easy to understand why he would ask Wang Hongtao this question.

Not to mention his behavior in the courtyard, he instigated a big quarrel between Jia Zhang and Liu Haizhong on the day he moved in, but both families still think he is a good person.

He saw the scene in the hospital very clearly. Deputy Director Li's attitude towards Wang Hongtao was definitely that he treated him as his own.

Moreover, when Deputy Director Li is not using the car, the jeep is completely under the control of Wang Hongtao, which is a real benefit.

Unlike Xu Damao, the leader would think of him when entertaining guests, and would call him to show a movie first, and then drink and joke together.

In the eyes of others, Xu Damao is highly valued by his leaders, but Xu Damao knows that he is just a clown who amuses people.

Just like the prostitutes in the brothels of the old days, their love rises with the clock, and their feelings are hard to calm down when the clock stops. After the leader has eaten and drunk enough and had enough fun, Xu Damao still goes about doing what he is supposed to do, and the leader doesn't take him seriously at all.

Xu Damao believes that he is definitely better than Wang Hongtao in terms of flattery and serving leaders, but why is he not valued by his leaders?

Wang Hongtao didn't feel surprised at all when listening to Xu Damao's complaints.

It is right that someone like you, Xu Damao, is not valued!

There is no shortage of flatterers in every era. In other words, if you can do it, others can do it too. So why would the factory manager value you?

The reason why I like to use you is simply because you, Xu Damao, can both show movies and make people laugh, so you can do two jobs at the same time.

Wang Hongtao even felt that there was some evil taste in the two factory directors' frequent requests for Xu Damao to accompany them: Look, this is the son-in-law of a big capitalist, but now he has such a face.

You can think so, but Wang Hongtao would definitely not say that.

"Brother, the most important thing when getting along with your boss is to let him feel your uniqueness. If you can do something that others can do, it will be difficult for your boss to feel your uniqueness!"

"Yes, Brother Damao, your movie projection skills are indeed good, but Director Yang and Director Li are in need of someone to show one or two movies. So, brother, let me be frank. Your skills are not as popular as Sha Zhu's cooking skills."

"After all, we have to eat every day, so it's not a big deal to watch fewer movies or even no movies at all, right?"

"So according to you, I am so useless that I have no chance of rising?" Xu Damao thought about it and still felt unwilling.

"That may not be the case. It's not realistic for you to learn anything else right now. You might as well stick to one path and keep cultivating your career in showing movies!"

"Leaders don't care about watching movies, but the rural people do. For example, in my hometown, as soon as they heard that there was a movie showing, people from the surrounding villages all came over."

"You should go to the countryside more often when you have time. Visit all the surrounding villages. If they perform once, you can perform twice. Serve the villagers well and ask them to write you a thank-you letter or something."

"Wouldn't that be an opportunity? If you can win awards like Advanced Worker or Excellent Worker, your boss will have no choice but to promote you!"

Xu Damao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this!

Yes, since the leadership line doesn’t work, then we will follow the mass line. Back then, the great men surrounded the cities from the countryside!

Just do it this way and you will never go wrong!

After Xu Damao figured it out, he started to toast Wang Hongtao frequently again.

Lou Xiao'e's mind was clear: Are you trying to get Xu Damao promoted? You clearly just wanted to get Xu Damao out of the way!

Beast! Not human!

Sometimes Lou Xiao'e even wanted to knock open Wang Hongtao's head and take a closer look to see what his brain was like to come up with so many clever ideas!

After figuring it out, Xu Damao felt relieved and drank too much in joy.

"Big Hat Brother, Big Hat Brother?"

"Sister-in-law, look, Brother Big Hat is drunk again!"

"What...what do you want to do? I told you that last time it was an accident!"

"think…."

....

Reluctantly, Wang Hongtao and Lou Xiao'e spent more than half an hour studying the carpentry work, mainly studying how the mortise and tenon structure could be combined more compactly and comfortably.

"Sister-in-law, I can't stay longer tonight, so I'll go back first. Brother Big Hat will go to the countryside tomorrow and come back to accompany you."

"Bah, get out of here, it's like no one cares about you."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm telling you, there's no one like you! You use people in front and don't use people in the back. You don't recognize people until their trousers are pulled up?" Wang Hongtao said in a mean way.

"You...I let you say it, I let you say it!"

"Hey, sister-in-law, stop making noise. Be careful not to wake up Big Hat Brother."

Wang Hongtao said this and took advantage of the situation again before leaving.

Before leaving, he kissed Lou Xiao'e on the forehead. This action made Lou Xiao'e shy again.

In a trance, Lou Xiao'e felt a sweetness for no reason. Is this the feeling of being in love?

You have to know that her father had no objection to her marriage to Xu Damao, and it was her mother who facilitated it. She only met Xu Damao once before the marriage and then she got married.

Chapter 35 PUA Qin Jingru

Lou Xiao'e is not the only one like this. Nowadays, it is considered good if a man and a woman can meet once or twice before getting married. In some cases, parents have already arranged the marriage without even meeting each other.

Talking about love? That was something that only the petty bourgeoisie could do, and it had nothing to do with us proletarians, so the partners at that time were called revolutionary partners.

That's why Lou Xiao'e lost her way instantly when Wang Hongtao teased her, and watched Wang Hongtao leave with dazed eyes.

……

The next day, Qin Jingru finally learned from yesterday's lesson and got up early, blocking Wang Hongtao at the door.

"Brother Tao, come with me, I have something to tell you."

"I'm in a hurry to go to work. Director Li is waiting for me at home. I have to go pick him up right away. We can talk about anything after I get back."

"No, now! Otherwise I won't let you go!" Qin Jingru was also anxious and held Wang Hongtao tightly and refused to let go.

Seeing Qin Jingru like this, how could Wang Hongtao not know what this girl was thinking?

This shows that he doesn't like Sha Zhu and is planning to come back to find me!

That's right. Now I'm a pilot and have three rooms. I'm much better than Sha Zhu no matter how you look at it. So it's not surprising that she wants to get back together with me.

"Jingru, I really don't have time right now."

"Well, I'll come back later when I have time, and you can tell me if there's anything then, okay?"

"Okay, then we have a deal. I'll wait for you in the yard then."

"understood."

……

After sending Director Li off and taking Liao Xiaolong for two rounds, Wang Hongtao returned before noon.

But this time he didn't drive, he walked back.

When he returned to the yard, Banggeng had already gone to school. Qin Jingru was strolling in the yard with Xiaodang. Seeing Wang Hongtao coming back, Qin Jingru told Xiaodang to play in the yard and not run out, and then followed Wang Hongtao into the house.

"Brother Tao, your house is so beautiful. It's bigger and more spacious than my cousin's house."

Qin Jingru said enviously as soon as she entered the room.

Qin Jingru was wearing a red floral dress, with two big braids and fringe on her forehead. Her little face was rosy, and she blinked her big watery eyes at Wang Hongtao, looking so pitiful that I felt even more sorry for her.
