Chapter 209 Xu Damao's career was full of twists and turns
"Grandma, where is our family's food?"
As soon as Jia Zhang returned to the Jia family, Bang Geng came over and asked.
Jia Zhang's old face turned red, and she just said, "Your silly uncle didn't lend it to me." Surprisingly, she didn't curse anyone this time.
Seeing that Banggeng looked a little depressed, Jia Zhang whispered in Banggeng's ear to comfort him: "Wait for grandma at the gate of the courtyard early tomorrow morning. Grandma will take you..."
"Yeah." Banggeng nodded heavily, his eyes sparkling.
……
At this time of day on normal days, Sha Zhu would have been snoring loudly, but today he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
There are two little people fighting in his head.
The white man said that Jia Zhang was so old, if something really happened to her, wouldn’t everyone in the yard laugh to death?
The black man said that the soft feeling is indeed very comfortable, and it is not bad if you don’t look at the face.
In the end, the two little guys were so tired that Sha Zhu still couldn't fall asleep, so he pulled up the quilt and rewarded himself.
sleep!
……
The steamed bun shop at the entrance of the alley.
As usual, Wang Hongtao took Qin Jingru over to buy buns.
But today I actually met Banggeng and his grandmother here.
"Hey, Aunt Zhang is buying buns?"
Wang Hongtao greeted them generously.
The Jia Zhang family was so frightened that they almost dropped their buns.
Jia Zhang looked up and saw Wang Hongtao and Qin Jingru, and quickly stuffed the bun in her hand into Banggeng's hand: "Well...Banggeng needs to study, and he can't lack nutrition. I'll buy him two buns to improve his diet."
"But I don't think you've ever bitten that bun."
"I... I was just trying it to see if it was hot. If it wasn't hot, I would let Bang Geng eat it. I'm too old to snatch food from a child, right, Bang Geng?"
Jia Zhang pretended to be kind on her face, but she was cursing in her heart: This bastard didn't come earlier or later, but came when I was eating buns. He is so evil!
At the same time, I prayed in my heart that the two of them would leave quickly so that I could buy another one to try.
After the two men left, Jia Zhang came back and bought another bun.
"Mom, what are you buying?"
Just as Jia Zhang was about to bite it, Qin Huairu came out again.
Jia Zhang's expression changed from greedy to worried in a second: "Well, Mom is worried that Banggeng won't get enough nutrition, so I thought of buying him some buns to supplement his nutrition and wait for him to come back from school to eat them."
Qin Huairu tilted her lips and nodded in agreement: "It's time to take care of yourself. Mom, remember to put the buns away to prevent them from being eaten by mice."
Jia Zhang nodded silently. After Qin Huairu left, she finally couldn't help but muttered, "I'm so unlucky. I bought three buns, but I didn't eat any of them."
"But at least it was eaten by Bangteng."
……
As the sports meet approached, the atmosphere in the steel mill became increasingly tense, with workers everywhere discussing the sports meet.
"Hey, what game did you sign up for, bro?"
Xu Damao approached Wang Hongtao and asked.
One of them is in the Propaganda Department and the other in the Transportation Department, both of which are rare idle positions.
"I signed up for the pole flip. What about you, Brother Damao?"
“I signed up for long-distance running.”
"Brother, you are confused. You are so good at fighting, why don't you sign up for wrestling? Did you know that bastard Shazhu signed up for wrestling? If you sign up for wrestling, what role would he have?"
Xu Damao was very emotional and felt sorry for Wang Hongtao.
Wang Hongtao smiled knowingly: "My brother signed up for wrestling, and his level is no worse than mine. Shazhu will not fare any better."
"Hehe, that's fine, that's fine." Xu Damao just wanted to embarrass Sha Zhu, he didn't care who of the two brothers had the upper hand.
Then he handed Wang Hongtao a cigarette and said, "Our Section Chief Hu talked to me and praised me for my hard work and effectiveness. Do you think it's my turn to be promoted?"
Now Xu Damao respects Wang Hongtao very much, especially when it comes to work, and he would come to ask him about anything.
Wang Hongtao lit up his cigarette, thought for a moment and said, "It's possible. Even if it doesn't work out, it's a good thing."
"Don't be idle these days. If you have nothing to do, go and report to your section chief. It never hurts to ask for instructions more often."
Xu Damao said with a bitter face: "Then I am embarrassed to come here empty-handed. I have mentioned it to Ezi several times before, asking her to take out some of her private money to help me with the relationship, but she just won't let me. It worries me to death."
Wang Hongtao was delighted when she heard this. Her own man asked her for money but was reluctant to give it to her, but he took it away before she even asked him for it. How could she go about this?
"Relax, even if you really give it to Section Chief Hu, he may not accept it. If you meet someone honest and upright, it might even do harm."
Xu Damao said helplessly: "I can only think this way. It would be great if I could win first place in the long-distance race. Then I can hand the radio to Section Chief Hu and I will have both face and money!"
Seeing Xu Damao so happy, Wang Hongtao didn't think of attacking him.
The reason why he suggested Xu Damao to go to the countryside more often and asked for a letter of thanks was more to get Xu Damao away.
But people are not so optimistic about Xu Damao's position.
Not to mention anything else, the fact that his father-in-law is Lou Bancheng is enough to make him unable to get over it.
Who is Lou Bancheng? He was the biggest capitalist in the city at that time!
Who would dare to promote his son-in-law?
Isn't that asking for trouble?
In the original drama, even a guy like Shazhu with such a foul mouth could become the canteen director.
Xu Damao is so capable but he has always been an ordinary projectionist.
why?
But later he divorced Lou Xiao'e and drew a clear line between him and his friends, and immediately became a leader. Why?
Isn’t this enough to illustrate the problem?
So Wang Hongtao was sure that Xu Damao still had no chance this time.
……
Wang Hongtao returned to the courtyard earlier than the workers and sat at the door to play with Ah Huang.
"stand up"
"sit down"
"lie"
With animal affinity skills and after so many years of getting along with each other, Huang can follow Wang Hongtao's instructions without any need for deliberate teaching.
After playing for a while, I heard footsteps approaching.
Wang Hongtao looked up and saw that it was He Yushui who came to his door.
The girl had two pigtails and was looking at him with a smile, her head tilted.
Wang Hongtao stood up and greeted, "It's Yushui. Why are you back so early today?"
"It was just a coincidence. A car came just as I left the school gate."
"By the way, Brother Hongtao, did you remember to add water to my jar of pickled radishes? The radishes must be sealed with water to make them delicious, otherwise they will go bad." He Yushui asked.
Wang Hongtao looked around to see if there was anyone around, and pulled Yu Shui into the house: "How could Yu Shui forget what you told me?"
"How is the pickling going? Please help me check it out."
After pulling Yu Shui into the house and discussing pickled radishes with her for a few words, Wang Hongtao set his sights on He Yu Shui's body:
"It's only been a week since we last met, how come you've lost weight again, Yushui? This can't go on!"
"It was the end of last week and all I had left were coarse grains. How could I gain weight when I had nothing to eat?" He Yushui said pitifully.
"But fortunately the ration has been determined for this month. I will go to the grain station to get a new one tomorrow."
Wang Hongtao nodded: "Well, if you are my sister, you should gain some weight. A little more flesh will look better."
"By the way, Yushui, how about having dinner at my place? Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll find a way for you."
"If you don't eat more, you'll get even thinner."
He Yushui felt warm at heart after hearing this, but she was a little embarrassed: "Well, let's see what my brother brought back first?"
After a pause, he complained pitifully, "I also want to be fatter, like the kind of meat you said."
"But the general environment has been like this in the past two years. It's good enough to be able to eat enough. Where can we get the food to feed ourselves?"
"My brother used to bring back some delicious food from time to time, but in the past two weeks, there has been nothing."
Wang Hongtao said with a strange expression: "Why wouldn't you know without me? Look at how fat Banggeng and his grandmother are..."
"How could my brother do this?" He Yushui said angrily.
"Doesn't he know how people outside view him? Who would be willing to marry him if he continues like this?"
Wang Hongtao said: "Do you think he doesn't know? But he just wants to do it. What can you do?"
He Yushui thought about it and said, "Brother Tao, you are right. This is his own choice. I have said it and tried to persuade him, but there is nothing I can do if he really won't listen."
"So are you going to talk to me for a while or stop the lunch box at the gate?"
"I'd better talk to you for a while." He Yushui said shyly: "If I forcibly stop the lunch box, my brother will definitely scold me. I don't want to suffer that."
