Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 409: Sha Zhu stirs up trouble, Xu Damao plots secretly

The next day.

I don’t know how Xu Damao negotiated, but when Wang Hongtao got off work and went there, Xu’s father and mother were both present, but Lou Xiaoe’s parents were not there.

I guess they must have agreed to take care of the child at different times. After all, she is someone else's granddaughter, and it is not right to not let her see her.

"Old Wang, are you here? Come in and sit down!" Xu Damao greeted him warmly when he saw Wang Hongtao coming in.

"Dad, Mom, this is my next-door neighbor, Old Wang, Wang Hongtao, the deputy section chief of the Labor and Personnel Department, and an 18th-level cadre! He takes good care of me on weekdays, and he arranged my skills assessment this time!"

"Old Wang, this is my dad, and this is my mom. They heard that Ezi had given birth, so they came to visit and see if there's anything they can do to help."

Xu Damao proudly introduced Wang Hongtao's qualifications, as if we brothers would be very powerful together.

While Xu Damao was introducing Wang Hongtao, Wang Hongtao was also not idle. He glanced at Xu Damao's father out of the corner of his eye.

Xu Damao's father, Xu Wude, has a hooked nose and a bird-like beak. He wears his hair in a slicked-back style like Li Huaide's. His hairline is slightly forward and his eye bags are slightly heavy. This kind of face is not a good one at first glance.

Wang Hongtao was secretly on high alert, but he remained calm on the surface.

He just laughed heartily: "Haha...Brother Damao, you are too kind. When I first moved into the courtyard, I was often targeted by the old residents in the courtyard. But weren't you and Sister Xiao'e the only ones who were willing to speak up for me?"

"Fortunately, things are getting better now, so I'll naturally help you out."

"Hello, Uncle Xu, Hello, Auntie!"

……

"Hey, hello, Section Chief Wang." Xu Wude also had a big smile on his face. He extended his hands enthusiastically, shook Wang Hongtao's hands and shook them vigorously, just like he was treating a leader.

"My Damao has told me about how you take care of him. To be honest, honest people like you are rare these days. Damao is lucky to have a friend like you!"

"Uncle Xu, you are so kind. Come, take a seat first."

After the greetings, Wang Hongtao took out a jar of brown sugar from his cloth bag and handed it to Xu Damao: "Brother Damao, please accept this. Today is your first time to be a father. I don't have much to express my gratitude to you, but I'm just giving you this jar of brown sugar to show my appreciation. Please don't despise it..."

"Won't…"

Xu Damao felt very proud to see Wang Hongtao bring a gift, so he took it and put it in the cabinet: "Look at you, why do you bring a gift when you're here? You're so polite..."

"Have you had dinner yet? How about eating something together? My parents made it and brought it over."

Wang Hongtao waved his hand and refused: "No, no, I just came to see her. I'll leave right away if I see that Sister Xiao'e is fine. My wife is still waiting for me at home."

If Xu Damao's parents weren't around, he might have stayed to eat, but now...

Just behave normally.

With just one glance, he could tell that Xu Damao's father was harder to fool than Xu Damao. It is said that old people become more shrewd, and he was a movie projectionist of the previous generation. Naturally, he was more experienced in dealing with people than Xu Damao.

"Okay, I won't force you in this case."

"By the way, my projectionist has passed the assessment! And he was directly rated as level 4! How about it, brother, is he awesome?!"

Xu Damao said proudly.

"Oh? Then you have a double blessing. I'm telling you, you must treat us when you have time later!"

Xu Damao frowned, as if he was somewhat averse to the phrase "double happiness", but he still agreed reluctantly, though his expression was rather unnatural.

After chatting for a while, Wang Hongtao said goodbye and left. Because Xu Damao's parents were present, he had no chance to be alone with Lou Xiaoe.

……

Not long after returning to the hospital, Xu Damao also came back.

"Oh, isn't this Master Xu Damao? I heard that he went to the hospital to give birth to a son?"

"Has your son returned home after giving birth?"

"You, why didn't you say anything about this great news?"

"Not to mention announcing it to the world, it should be okay to set up a few tables in our courtyard, right?"

"You are not doing this right..."

How about saying that Shazhu is foul-mouthed and a bad person? Only he can say that.

"Humph! Silly Zhu, stop being so proud!"

Xu Damao clenched his fists but still didn't dare to go forward. He angrily retorted to Sha Zhu: "Yes, I gave birth to a daughter today, but if I can give birth to one, I can give birth to a second one. I, Xu Damao, don't believe that the next one will also be a daughter!"

"My giving birth to a daughter is only temporary, but your inability to find a wife is a lifelong problem!"

Then he announced boldly: "What's wrong with having a daughter? A daughter is a sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket! I, Xu Damao, am actively responding to the national policy call. It doesn't matter whether I have a boy or a girl!"

"Well, I won't host a banquet, but I'll still give you a lucky draw!"

"I'll buy a basket of eggs tomorrow, boil them and give two to each family!"

...

"Xu Damao is open and bright!"

"That's right, Xu Damao, this baby is a daughter, so the next one will be a son!"

"Yes, yes, maybe they are twins, two sons!"

...

When the neighbors heard that there were eggs to be shared, they all started to speak well of Xu Damao.

"Humph! Don't be so proud, Xu Damao! Who said I can't get married? I'll get married in a few days! I'm so jealous of you!"

……

Wang family.

Xu Damao, who was still angry, came to the door again.

"Old Wang, what right do you think Shazhu has to do this? A bachelor who can't even find a wife dares to make fun of me?!"

"I can't kill him?!"

Xu Damao was unhappy, and Wang Hongtao was also holding his breath.

Wang Hongtao and Xu Damao share the same stance on the issue of children. To tease Xu Damao is to tease Wang Hongtao.

"That's right, Brother Damao, what are you going to do?" Wang Hongtao shared the same hatred for the enemy.

"How do we do it? Brothers, here's what I'm going to do. I've almost ruined everything with Teacher Ran. I'm going to hire someone to help with the show at the half-closed door I mentioned earlier."

"Isn't he in a hurry? I'll show him a whole competitor and see if he's in a hurry!"

"Acting?" Wang Hongtao couldn't help but think of a perfect candidate.

"Brother Damao, have you found a good person? If not, I happen to know someone."

"Really? What about that person? Is he tight-lipped and reliable?"

Xu Damao originally wanted to ask his father for help, but after hearing what Wang Hongtao said, he immediately changed his mind.

Wang Hongtao patted his chest and said, "It must be reliable! Leave it to me. I will call someone here tomorrow!"

"Brother Damao, you just came back like this. Is there anyone to take care of Sister Xiao'e in the hospital?"

"Yes, of course. My mom is staying with me in the hospital tonight. We agreed that each family will stay for one day."

"Well, I won't talk to you for now. I have to go home and go to bed. I didn't sleep well last night and I'm very sleepy."

"Ah."
