Not long after Xu Damao arrived at work, he was packing up the movie machine and preparing to go to the countryside to show a movie. When he was thinking about what benefits he could get this time, a passing colleague suddenly stopped him.
"Xu Damao, please leave later. Director Li is looking for you."
"Director Li is looking for me?"
Xu Damao looked surprised.
On weekdays, except when there was a dinner party, the boss would ask him to liven up the atmosphere, but he never came to see him. Although he didn't know why Director Li was looking for him, Xu Damao quickly put down his things and ran to Director Li's office. .
'Dong dong dong'
"Director Li, look for me!"
"It's Xu Damao, close the door and come in."
Director Li pretended to be easy-going on his cunning and mean face. After Xu Damao closed the door and came in and sat down, he asked: "How are you lately? The studio hasn't encountered any difficulties, right?"
"Oh, if Director Li pays more attention, there will be no problems in the studio at all, thanks to Director Li's good leadership."
In less than two words, Xu Damao started licking hard. Needless to say, this kind of licking method really made Director Li feel comfortable.
"Xu Damao, you are still a good comrade. Work hard and the factory will not treat you badly."
If you lick me, I will make a pie for you. Xu Damao eats it quite delicious.
After exchanging business words, Director Li finally got to the point.
"Da Mao, there is something I want to ask you."
"Director Li, please tell me."
Xu Damao immediately sat upright, Director Li said slowly: "I heard that Section Chief Ye lives in the same courtyard as you, right? How is he?"
"Chief Ye? Ye Haoran?"
After Director Li asked, Xu Damao's eyes rolled up, thinking that Director Li could take the initiative to inquire about Ye Haoran, presumably something must have happened between the two of them, Xu Damao, who was good at sneaking around, immediately felt that his opportunity had come. .
Compared to Director Li, Ye Haoran is really incompetent. No matter how Xu Damao tries to please him, he can't get any benefit at all. Now that he has the opportunity to rely on Director Li, how can Xu Damao give up.
If you are talking nonsense, you just open your mouth: "Director Li, you have asked the right person. Although I don't have much contact with him, nothing can escape my eyes. I know exactly what Ye Haoran has done. .”
"Oh? Tell me in detail."
When Director Li heard this, he immediately became interested and urged Xu Damao to speak quickly.
Xu Damao waved his hands and started talking with gestures and shaking his head like he was telling a story.
"Director Li, let me tell you, no matter how ordinary people named Ye are, they are dirty behind their backs. I didn't notice it at first, but now I can see clearly. Just talking about character, chasing after Yu Haitang in our factory also hooked up with Qin Huairu in our courtyard. You don’t know Qin Huairu, but she has a family. What happened now? She went to cook and clean the house for Ye surnamed Ye every day, and they almost lived together. , do you speak truthfully!"
"It's outrageous, it's outrageous, what else."
Xu Damao also got interested. Seeing that Director Li liked to listen, he prepared to talk more: "Yes, that's too much. That's not all. Now he's hooking up with the daughter of Director Lou of our factory. The first two The sky is still coming, and I’m watching.”
Xu Damao got angry when he talked about this. His father had long said that he wanted to find someone to introduce him to a partner. It seemed that he was Director Lou's daughter. However, for some reason, the matter was left alone. Xu Damao once thought that Ye Haoran had intercepted his Hu.
If this cost him the daughter of the Lou family, he would not be able to spend the money however he wanted, so Xu Damao would have to bear this debt on Ye Haoran.
The more Ye Haoran said in Xu Damao's mouth, the more evil he said. Without waiting for Director Li's urging, he continued on his own initiative: "This is just a problem with his style, and his bicycle. He bought one just a few months after starting work. A new bicycle, even if he saves enough money without eating or drinking, there is definitely a problem with the source of the industrial paper."
While patting his chest in assurance, he continued: "He still eats meat every day, and the food at home is very good. There is another one who renovated the house when he first moved here. Director Li, tell me, how many months does he have?" If someone’s salary can withstand such a bad situation, if there is any problem, don’t worry about it.”
Xu Damao spoke in vernacular, his descriptions were so vivid, and his performance was so penetrating that Director Li really believed him.
He nodded with satisfaction and said: "Xu Damao, you are a good comrade who can't tolerate dirt in your eyes. Do your current work well first. There will definitely be more important tasks for you in the future. Let's do this for today. Let's talk another day."
"Okay Director Li, you can call me anytime if you need me. I will be your vanguard."
"Okay, okay! That's it. When you have nothing to do, help me pay attention to Section Chief Ye. Nowadays, we advocate maintaining the purity of the team. I don't want pests to appear in our team. I'll give you a credit first."
"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"
Xu Damao is really a monkey in disguise, pretending to be the Monkey King. The team Director Li mentioned obviously does not include him, but he himself takes himself seriously.
After coming out of Director Li's office, Xu Damao felt that his steps were much lighter. Not only was he walking faster, but he was also walking with wind.
As soon as I came down the stairs, I met Yu Haitang. He smiled and asked proactively: "Hey, isn't this a factory flower? Why are you going to see Section Chief Ye again? You two are quite sweet."
"Do you care? A dog's mouth is a dog's mouth. Nothing can come out."
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
Yu Haitang's mouth was not ordinary. He couldn't sit in the announcer's position without asking. He rolled his eyes, turned around and left. No matter what Xu Damao wanted to say, he wouldn't give him a chance.
Asking for trouble did not affect Xu Damao's mood. He thought he had been appreciated by Director Li and started to sneer.
Yu Haitang took advantage of her free time to come to Ye Haoran's office. When she entered, she saw Ye Haoran reading a book. She did not disturb Ye Haoran and made a cup of tea for Ye Haoran.
Seeing Yu Haitang's attentiveness, Ye Haoran reluctantly put down the book in his hand and asked proactively: "If you have anything to do, just tell me what you are doing."
Yu Haitang walked up to Ye Haoran with an aggrieved look on her face and said, "My family has been urging me to find a partner to get married. What do you mean? Have you let that Lou Xiao'e hook you away?"
Ye Haoran looked embarrassed and pretended to be stern: "Why are you still taking care of me?"
"That's right. The one named Lou is the daughter of a capitalist. She's not suitable for you at all. Isn't it just that she's a little too big..."
"Go! This little girl is talking nonsense!"
Ye Haoran was helpless. Due to the limitations of the times, if it were placed at another time, would he still be able to stay until now? They had already eaten them one by one without taking any leftovers.
So I can only find an excuse to stall: "The main reason is not other people's. It's that I don't want to get married yet. It's useless for you to push me. You think I have a lot of leisure every day. In fact, it takes the most mental energy. You still give me everything every day." Add to the obstruction."
Sometimes women are like this. The more you lick her, the less they will take you seriously. If you don't take her seriously, she will take the initiative to lick you.
The premise is that you have to meet the standards.
Sure enough, after Ye Haoran said a few words, Yu Haitang became honest again.
After chatting for a while, the two went to the cafeteria to have lunch together and continued fishing in the afternoon.
Before leaving get off work, Jia Dongxu's work relationship transfer documents had been entered into the file, and Ye Haoran also got the news.
Director Li's idea was very simple. He learned from Xu Damao that there was something wrong with Ye Haoran and Qin Huairu. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, Jia Dongxu's file also stated Qin Huairu's family relationship. Since it couldn't be stuck, it was better to take the initiative. Create an opportunity for Ye Haoran. If he and Qin Huairu are really related, they can successfully catch Ye Haoran's pigtails.
When it was time to get off work, Ye Haoran left the steel rolling mill on time and went to the market to buy a chicken before going home.
When he first entered the yard, he saw Qin Huairu washing vegetables. After getting on his bicycle, he handed the chicken to Qin Huairu and said, "Let's stew it tonight. Just leave half of it for me."
"Ah? What day is it? Why did you buy chickens?"
Qin Huairu was greatly surprised, and Ye Haoran smiled and said: "Take it up, don't lose your health."
After saying that, Ye Haoran went back to the house, took off his clothes and prepared to wash up first. Qin Huairu outside the house was still stunned, feeling that there was something in Ye Haoran's words.
"Is it possible that you discovered it?"
Qin Huairu has figured it out in the past two days. Although he knows it in his heart, after all, Ye Haoran is not married yet. It is not a good thing to spread the word, so he might as well take it on himself.
She had already thought of the excuse, saying that Jia Dongxu had drunk too much in the meal before his business trip. Anyway, Jia Dongxu himself had no memory, so as long as he kept his mouth shut, there should be no problem.
But Ye Haoran's move instantly disrupted Qin Huairu's mind.
A chicken is a month's living expenses for a family, which is not something that everyone can afford.
After thinking about it complicatedly for a long time, he sighed and picked up the chicken to clean it up.
When I got home and prepared to boil a kettle of hot water and de-feather the chicken, Mrs. Jia happened to see it and asked in confusion: "Where did the chicken come from?"
"Oh, it was bought by Ye Haoran. He wants to eat chicken at night."
"Eat chicken? He deserves it too! He's not a good guy, but he eats it every day. When he's done, he'll give me a bowl."
The old lady kept talking so much that Qin Huairu's ears became calloused, but she had no choice but to pretend not to hear.
Ye Haoran had just finished washing his face when he looked up and suddenly found Xu Damao wandering around the courtyard.
Either he was chatting with the third uncle, or he was chatting with Yan Jiecheng. If it was just like this, forget it, but his little eyes looked at Ye Haoran with nothing in mind, which was obviously with bad intentions.
But Xu Damao couldn't stir up any trouble. It wasn't because Ye Haoran looked down on him, but Xu Damao didn't have the brains to make things happen. It's not easy to make things happen just by talking nonsense.
"Brother Damao, what do you mean?"
Yan Jiecheng looked at the souvenirs handed over by Xu Damao with a confused look on his face. He had never confiscated anything from Xu Damao before. This was the first time he had ever confiscated anything from Xu Damao.
Just as he was about to take it, he quickly added, for fear that Xu Damao would have something to do with him.
Xu Damao pretended to be generous and said: "Hey, if we brothers have anything to say, you can just take it."
"Hehe, it has to be Brother Damao, thank you, Brother Damao."
"you are welcome."
Xu Damao took Yan Jiecheng to sit at the door of his house, chatted for a few words and then asked proactively: "Jiecheng, I want to ask you something. Is there anything special happening in Ye Haoran's family recently?"
"Brother Damao, why are you asking about him?"
"It's okay, it's not that I want to inquire. Today, the factory leader talked to me. It seems that he intends to take action against the man named Ye and is collecting information. I am also ordered to conduct a secret investigation in the face of danger. After the collapse of the man named Ye, what will happen to you? Do you know that Brother Mao is about to rise to power? If he is successful, he will still treat you badly."
"Oh!" Yan Jiecheng was frightened and asked, "Is it true or false?"
People in the courtyard only had a vague idea of Ye Haoran's status in the factory. The only two people who knew about it were Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, but they couldn't stand Ye Haoran who was disobedient to discipline in the courtyard. How could he take the initiative to help Ye Haoran promote it?
So Yan Jiecheng didn't know whether Ye Haoran was awesome or not.
Xu Damao pretended to be coaxing and said: "It's true or false. How can I lie to you? The factory director had a secret conversation with me this morning and talked about many issues about Ye Haoran. What do you mean by this?" Don’t you understand?”
"don't know!"
Yan Jiecheng shook his head naively.
"Don't understand? That's right. If you understand, what's wrong with me? Let me tell you. The man named Ye is not popular in the factory and is not popular with the leaders. He also takes corruption and bribes. Do you know that? The leader thought he was no longer pure, so he wanted to get rid of him, but catching thieves and stealing stolen goods requires real evidence, so he accepted his order and I came to investigate personally. Now you understand."
"I understand, Brother Damao, you are so awesome!"
One is teasing and the other is complimenting, and the singing and coordination are quite perfect. It is a pity that there is no audience.
Xu Damao competed with Niu, and Niu asked coaxingly: "Tell me, have you discovered anything?"
Yan Jiecheng hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "There is a little..."
"What do you mean by a little? You can say as much as you want. When this is done, I will reward you well."
Under Xu Damao's instigation, Yan Jiecheng also got a little carried away.
"Brother Damao, I don't know if something is true or not, but it should be related to something. She is my wife. She found out that Qin Huairu was pregnant, but Jia Dongxu was not at home. What do you think..."
"It's all right, just explain it clearly."
"She's just pregnant!"
"puff!!!!"
As soon as Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, the water in Xu Damao's mouth spurted out instantly. If he hadn't turned his head quickly, he might have sprayed it all over Yan Jiecheng's face.
"real?"
"My wife said this. I don't know if it's true or not, but I think it's close to her."
Hearing this, Xu Damao became excited. If he told Director Li, it would be a great achievement! But he didn't know yet that all the changes in his expression were caught in Ye Haoran's eyes.
Ye Haoran actually knew for a long time that Qin Huairu's matter could not be hidden at all. The neighbors were the most gossipy, but what could be done?
Catching someone in bed is nothing as long as no one sees it with their own eyes, and Director Li's little tricks cannot be hidden from Ye Haoran.
The most people who shuttle back and forth in the administration building are Ye Haoran's people. Patrols during the day and night, and no big or small incident in the factory can escape Ye Haoran's eyes. Even if Director Li stays honest, even if he does nothing, Ye Haoran will attack him. , now that Director Li has come out on his own initiative, it suits Ye Haoran's wishes.
The enemy agents were much more difficult to deal with than these few people, but they were still pressed to the ground and rubbed repeatedly by Ye Haoran.
Not long after, the entire courtyard was filled with the aroma of stewed chicken. Some were envious and some were sour. At the Jia family’s dinner table, Banggan and Xiaodang fought for the food in the basin with Mrs. Jia’s two hands. of chicken.
Qin Huairu didn't give in this time, and took the initiative to grab two pieces for herself. She even left a large bowl of nutritious chicken soup for herself in the kitchen. This was prepared for her, so what else could she be polite about.
The only one who was angry was Mrs. Jia. She had been greedy for a long time and her saliva was all over the floor. She didn't grab the two little ones.
Time flies and two days pass.
Early in the morning, as soon as the door of the courtyard opened, Jia Dongxu came back dragging large and small bags. After walking for several months, there was always a feeling that things were different and people were different.
When he got home and was about to knock on the door, Qin Huairu opened the door and walked out.
When he saw Jia Dongxu for the first time, Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, his face full of unfamiliarity.
"What's wrong? I don't know you anymore?"
"Oh, you're back. Go clean up. I'll cook."
Contrary to Jia Dongxu's expectation, Qin Huairu was not very enthusiastic, but seemed extremely cold.
Instead, Mrs. Jia became warmer.
"Hey, my son, you are back, but you don't know what life has been like for us, the old and the young, in the past few months since you were gone!"
Qin Huairu, who had just gone out, immediately rolled her eyes, not knowing who was snatching chicken from her children yesterday.
People in the yard came out one after another, some were cooking, some were washing faces, and they all took the initiative to say hello to Jia Dongxu. After all, they hadn't seen each other for several months, so it was appropriate to say a word.
After finishing cleaning, Jia Dongxu returned home. As soon as he sat down at the dinner table to pay, Qin Huairu stretched out his hand and placed it in front of Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu didn't know what was going on and asked doubtfully: "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean by giving money? You haven't taken a penny from home in the past few months. Don't the elderly and children need money for food and drink? I borrowed thirty yuan. Now that you are back, please give me the money first. Me, I'll pay the debt."
Jia Dongxu's face darkened. Even though he had been on a business trip for several months, he didn't save a penny. It was said to be a talent exchange, but his salary was not increased by a penny.
"You owe it now, and you can pay it back later."
"What do you mean, you support the family and I'm a deadbeat, right?"
Qin Huairu's face also darkened.
Jia Dongxu's joy at returning home was immediately dashed away, but the matter was not over yet. Qin Huairu exploded with another thunder.
"There is one more thing I want to tell you. Your working relationship has been lost to Ji Chun. I don't plan for you to follow, so your salary will have to be mailed back every month in the future."
"What!!!"
Jia Dongxu looked at Qin Huairu in horror. Before he could speak, Mrs. Jia beside her nodded in agreement: "Son, mom doesn't want to go either. I'm used to staying here and the neighbors are familiar with it. Mom is so old. Stop moving."
Yesterday, Qin Huairu had learned about Jia Dongxu's transfer of working relationships from Ye Haoran, and even mentioned it to Mrs. Jia, so she told her directly today.
Not only Qin Huairu and Mrs. Jia didn't want to go, but Jia Dongxu himself didn't want to go. He was staying well in the city, so who wanted to go to a remote place in the countryside.
Even though Jichun is a city with developed industry, this is the imperial capital after all.
"No, I can't be transferred, I have to find the factory director!"
Before even having time to eat, Jia Dongxu hurried to the steel rolling mill.
But he didn't know that he never came back.
