Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 645 Xu Damao's Small Abacus

Saying that he believed in Qin Jingru, after coaxing Qin Jingru home, Xu Damao rode a bicycle to the Sixth Hospital, found an acquaintance in the obstetrics and gynecology department, and retrieved Qin Jingru's inspection records.

'After inspection, the pregnant woman was pregnant one month ago, and the current fetal condition is normal, but the pregnant woman is thin. It is recommended to supplement more nutrition during pregnancy. '

Seeing this line of big characters, Xu Damao couldn't help jumping up and down in the doctor's office.

"Oh my God, I, Xu Damao, finally have a son. Our old Xu family has been passed down for three generations, and someone has finally passed on the family line."

The sound was so loud that it almost spread throughout the entire floor, causing the doctor to be very dissatisfied.

"Xu Damao, please keep your voice down. If someone finds out that I show the patient's medical record checklist to others, I will be criticized by my superiors."

"Yes, yes, sorry, Doctor Wang, I'm just so happy."

Xu Damao took several deep breaths, but his mouth still couldn't close. He put down the checklist, stretched out his hand and pinched his face several times, and his mouth returned to normal.

"Okay, you kid can have fun secretly." Doctor Wang waved his hand and said, "But don't forget about showing the movie. My mother is 90 years old this year. She has no other wishes, just want to invite The folks are watching a movie, the big guys are lively, if you delay things, I will never end with you."

"Old Wang, put your heart in your stomach. I, Xu Damao, have always done things safely. I have earned so many extra money for so many years. When did I have any problems?"

Xu Damao is still very confident about going out to show movies privately.

At the very beginning, Xu Damao had to use the excuse of repairing the projector, take the projector out, and privately show movies to those in need.

Over the years, Xu Damao has long been acquainted with the people who manage the equipment in the logistics department of the rolling mill. Every time he throws down two packs of cigarettes, he can take the projector away at any time.

With this kind of convenience, Xu Damao is so confident.

On the way back to the courtyard, Xu Damao looked at the bustling pedestrians on the street, feeling a little heavy.

The doctor just said that Qin Jingru needs to supplement nutrition.

It's just that these days, even if you have money, you can't buy nutritional products, such as malted milk, milk powder, etc., all need specific tickets. As a small film projectionist, Xu Damao can't get tickets at all. .

Moreover, even with the coupons, Xu Damao now has no money to buy nutritional supplements, and almost all of his money was given to Huang Renfa.

"It seems that we still have to use that money."

Xu Damao hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

He did not return to the courtyard, but rode a bicycle to Changping.

Walking along the curving street, Xu Damao came to a small courtyard, which was an old-fashioned farmyard with walls made of adobe. The houses were two grass houses, no different from the surrounding yards.

This is Xu Damao's hometown. Since Xu Damao's father, Xu Jixiang, retired early and gave up the position of projectionist to Xu Damao, he came back to live here with his wife Xu Huangshi.

Clang, clang, Xu Damao grabbed the door and knocked lightly, and there was a vicissitudes of life sound from inside.

"Who?"

"I, Da Mao, open the door quickly."

Hearing that Xu Damao was standing outside the door, Xu Jixiang's old face suddenly drooped, and he slammed the enamel jar on the table.

"Nizi, what is this Nizi doing back here!"

The tea splashed, and Xu Huang who was picking vegetables next to him sighed inwardly when he saw Xu Jixiang was so angry.

Since Xu Jixiang moved back to Changping's hometown with her, Xu Damao has come back two or three times, and they all came back with Lou Xiao'e.

On weekdays, let alone bringing gifts back, he didn't even have a heart-warming word.

Xu Jixiang also endured all this, who made Xu Damao his son? He was only such a son, and in the future he would have to count on Xu Damao to carry on the family line of the old Xu family.

However, Xu Damao divorced Lou Xiaoe later, which really made Xu Jixiang intolerable.

As Lou Bancheng's daughter, Lou Xiao'e married Xu Damao back then because Xu Huang's and Lou Xiao'e's mother, Tan Liya, were good sisters.

At that time, in order to get Tan Liya to agree to their marriage, Xu Jixiang and Xu Huang made a promise in front of Tan Liya.

Although it seemed understandable that the Lou family fled the capital and divorced Xu Damao back then, the thorn had already been buried in Xu Jixiang's heart.

Also, Xu Jixiang was also dissatisfied with Qin Jingru, Xu Damao's later wife.

How does Qin Jingru, a wild girl in the countryside, compare with a lady like Lou Xiao'e?Moreover, Qin Jingru did not have an urban household registration at that time, so even if she gave birth to a child in the future, the children would not be able to obtain an urban household registration. Isn't this a hindrance.

Qin Jingru is also stubborn. Seeing Xu Jixiang and Xu Huang's bad attitude, she didn't give them a good look.

During the Spring Festival the year before last, Qin Jingru had a big quarrel with the two of them. Xu Jixiang and Xu Huangshi were so angry that they didn't even eat any food, and rushed back to Changping in the wind and snow.

"Father, it's me, I'm Da Mao, open the door quickly."

"Father, open the door quickly, I have something good to tell you."

Hearing the hasty knock on the door and shouts from outside, Mrs. Xu Huang sighed, put down the dishes and stood up, looking at Xu Jixiang: "I said, old man, just go and open the door, even if Da Mao is no longer shameless, He is also your son, there is no overnight hatred between father and son."

"He's just a beast and an unfilial son. He's almost 40 years old and he doesn't even have a child. Our Xu family is going to be extinct. I just don't have him as a son." Xu Jixiang was so angry when he thought of what Xu Damao had done in the past. trembling.

"Oh, old man, why are you so stubborn! If you don't drive, I will drive. If the neighbors hear it, they will definitely laugh at us."

Seeing that Xu Jixiang couldn't get up, Xu Huang could only walk to the door and opened it.

Seeing that it was Xu Huang who opened the door, Xu Damao couldn't wait to ask: "Mother, where is my father?"

"I'm angry with you in the house!" Xu Huang let Xu Damao into the house, poked his head out to look outside, and saw that there were no neighbors watching, so he was relieved.

The people living around are all old neighbors of the Xu family for many years, and some of them are relatives. On weekdays, Xu Huang never speaks ill of Xu Damao in front of the neighbors. On the contrary, she even praises Xu Damao for his filial piety.

"Oh, this old man, why does he look like a child? Didn't I just scold him a few words last time? He's got his revenge."

Xu Damao chuckled: "However, don't worry, as long as I tell him the happy event this time, he will definitely not be angry again."

With that said, Xu Damao strode into the room.

He first called "Dad" to Xu Jixiang, then moved a chair, sat in front of Xu Jixiang, and crossed his legs.

"Father, Jingru is pregnant."

"Xu Damao, you are unfilial. Hiccup."

Xu Jixiang was about to scold Xu Damao angrily, when he heard the news, he quickly swallowed the second half of the words back into his stomach, his expression was extraordinarily weird between anger and joy.

Before he could continue to question, Xu Huang from outside the house ran in. As soon as she was old, she ran as fast as a young man.

Xu Huangshi ran up to Xu Damao, stared wide-eyed and asked, "Qin Jingru is really married, she won't be the one who lied to you this time, right?"

"No, I've already gone to the hospital to inquire about it, and I've seen the checklist with my own eyes."

Xu Damao stood up and told Dr. Wang's words in detail.

Hearing what the doctor said, Xu Huang was relieved, patted his thigh and said, "That's great, it's really great, Da Mao has a son, and our Xu family has a successor."

"Come on, come on, Da Mao, sit down quickly."

At this time, Xu Jixiang's face was also full of smiles, he took Xu Damao's hand and sat down, and said excitedly: "Da Mao, you finally won honor with our old Xu family this time, wait a few days, we Go back to your hometown secretly and tell your ancestors about it."

"You're not afraid of being seen by doing this messy thing again." Xu Damao pursed his lips.

"What do you know, child? The old Wang's family next door said that the ancestors will protect the child in Jingru's stomach if they know about it."

Hearing this, the disapproval on Xu Damao's face disappeared instantly. He sat up straight, stared and said, "Then when shall we go back?"

"En." Xu Jixiang pondered for a moment, and said: "Let's wait a few days, let's wait for a rainy day, and let's take advantage of the night to finish this matter without anyone noticing."

"Okay, let me know when the time comes."

Xu Damao nodded.

At this time, Xu Huangshi, who had been standing beside excitedly, seemed to have thought of something, looked at Xu Damao and said, "Damao, why are you back? Shouldn't you go home to take care of Jingru now? What if something happens to the child?" Question, see if I don't clean you up."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Jixiang yelled loudly: "Yes, Da Mao, Jingru is pregnant now, and she is now our family's baby lump, why don't you look at her and come to me?"

Xu Damao had been waiting for this sentence, stood up, and said embarrassedly: "Father, mother, of course I know this, but the doctor in the hospital said that Jingru's body is relatively weak, and she needs to supplement nutrition if she wants to give birth smoothly. "

"Supplementing nutrition is easy. I'll borrow two eggs from Aunt Wang's house next door. You can take them home first. After a few days, I'll go to the supply and marketing agency to buy some brown sugar."

Although Xu Huangshi doesn't like Qin Jingru, but now her physical condition is related to the inheritance of the Xu family, Xu Huangshi naturally can't be sloppy.

Xu Jixiang said: "I saved more than 20 yuan, and I will give it to you later. You go and buy some nutrition for Jingru."

Two eggs, some brown sugar, more than 20 yuan. What is this!

Xu Damao looked disgusted, and pursed his mouth and said: "The child in Jingru's stomach is the eldest son and grandson of our Xu family. Our three generations of the Xu family are single-handed, and we rely on Jingru to carry on our family. How can you be so stingy? !"

Xu Jixiang looked helpless: "Da Mao, it's not that you don't know the situation of the two of us. Back then, in order to let you take over early, I went through medical retirement, and my pension was more than half less than the normal retirement. If you can get ten yuan, your mother’s health is not good. Just last month, I was hospitalized twice. Although I am a retired employee, your mother does not need money for medical treatment, but I have to buy nutrition for your mother. Well, just the 20 yuan, we picked it out from between our teeth."

Hearing this, Xu Damao was immediately unhappy, and waved his hands: "Don't you cry poorly with me here, I don't know you yet, back then my mother and Tan Liya were like sisters, when the Lou family fled, they deliberately took a A large number of gold and silver treasures are entrusted to you for safekeeping, and now you are crying poor with me, is it interesting?"

"How do you know?" Xu Huang asked in surprise.

As soon as she spoke, Xu Jixiang gave her a sideways look: "Old woman, what nonsense are you talking about, where are there any gold and silver treasures?"

As he said that, he looked at Xu Damao: "Son, you and Lou Xiao'e were already divorced at that time, and you even reported Lou Bancheng, how could Lou Bancheng entrust us with our property for safekeeping? Don't talk nonsense, if this If outsiders know about it, it will cause trouble."

"Hehe, Dad, who am I, Xu Damao? If I'm not sure, I dare to say?" Xu Damao stood up, spread his fingers, and began to think: "If I remember correctly, there were five people in the jeep delivered to our house. A big box, two small boxes, and two sacks, if I guessed correctly, the big box should be silver ingots, the small box should be small yellow croakers, and the sacks might be silk or something."

At this time, Xu Jixiang's face had changed, and Xu Damao said triumphantly: "You think you are doing it in a secret way, and you have kept it from everyone, but you didn't expect that I happened to come back that night to get a change of clothes, and I saw it." All right."

Seeing that Xu Damao knew exactly what the Lou family had hidden, Xu Jixiang sat down on the chair and sighed: "When the Lou family was leaving, they did leave something behind, but it was Lou Bancheng It's not our Xu family's, so it must not be touched."

"You, you, let me tell you what's good about you." Xu Damao felt a little ridiculous about Xu Jixiang's stupid loyalty, stood up and said, "Lou Bancheng doesn't even dare to come back now, just because of the things he committed. , I am afraid that I will never return to the capital in this life, and I will never be able to get those things."

"Besides, Lou Bancheng is not short of that stuff, why don't you take it out and give Jingru a boost!"

"No, absolutely no." Xu Jixiang waved his hands again and again: "I promised Lou Bancheng back then that I would help him take good care of these things, and when he came back, I would return them to him. We take the risk"

Speaking of this, Xu Jixiang raised his head and looked at Xu Damao: "The few boxes of small yellow croakers that Lou Xiao'e left you and some antiques are the rewards given to us by the Lou family. What about those things? You can take them out and sell them. Don't you have money to buy nutritional supplements for Jingru?"

"I" Xu Damao was speechless for a while.

Seeing his appearance, Xu Jixiang understood a little, and said coldly: "Did you sell those things long ago?"

"I also want to be a leader!"

Xu Damao stared and said: "This time I found a secretary of a big leader, the joints have been dredged, and I can be a leader soon."
