Chapter 193 Contact
"What? No, Ezi, you are enjoying yourself at home, why are you going to the factory?"

Xu Damao was taken aback, and quickly put down his wine glass, feeling uneasy.

If this makes Lou Xiao'e enter the rolling mill, doesn't that mean putting a spell on herself?
In the future, what will happen to me that I am still not in control of?

Besides, when he went to the countryside in the past few days, he didn't mess with women. That's because he found a new target in the rolling mill and was about to strike.

At this critical moment, if Lou Xiaoe went to the factory, wouldn't all his thought, energy and investment be in vain?

Xu Damao's thoughts turned quickly, his face remained unchanged, but his mind was tossing and turning.

It took a moment to figure out that Lou Xiao'e could not be allowed to enter the rolling mill.

Lou Xiao'e didn't know what Xu Damao was thinking, but thought she was concerned about herself.

"I have nothing to do at home all day, it's too boring. I just want to find a job, which can also share the pressure at home."

"Stress? Where is the pressure in our family?"

Xu Damao said seriously, "Our family's biggest pressure is to quickly give birth to a fat boy, and I will be so mad at you."

"you…"

"Daughter-in-law, don't be angry. I'm not complaining. Let's talk behind closed doors."

Before Lou Xiaoe could change his face, Xu Damao hurriedly said,
"You think, if you are pregnant with a child, you can still go to work?"

"I got pregnant within a few days of going to work, isn't this dragging the factory back!"

What Xu Damao said was self-righteous, and Lou Xiaoe also felt that it made sense.

But both of them overlooked a prerequisite, that is, they must have children first.

It's just that no one said anything about it, maybe they believed in their hearts that the child would come eventually.

Lou Xiaoe thought for a while, but still did not give up.

"How about I do it temporarily, it won't take up the quota, and it won't bring bad influence."

When Xu Damao saw Lou Xiao'e's insistence, he went through his mind again before speaking.

"Have you talked to our dad about this?"

"No, I don't want to bother them."

"Oh, that's good. Well, I mean it shouldn't come across as a back door."

"I know that."

Xu Damao stroked his beard, "Well, I'll go to Li, the deputy factory director who is in charge of logistics, and tell you about it."

"it is good!"

Lou Xiaoe was delighted, but Xu Damao took the opportunity to say.

"It's not easy to find deputy factory manager Li to do things. You have to get things."

Lou Xiaoe was taken aback, and Xu Damao quickly explained.

"This man, why is he like this?"

"You are so shallow. No one is a fool these days..."

Xu Damao kindly educated his daughter-in-law about the sinister human heart, which made Lou Xiao'e feel depressed, and wondered whether it was right or wrong for her to go to work in the factory.

But here, there is no other choice.

"Okay, how much do you want? Mom doesn't give much anymore. Now that the rumors are tight, you have to be more careful."

Xu Damao said with a smile, "It's 100 yuan anyway!"

"one hundred?"

"Hey, keep your voice down!"

"Anyway, it's the deputy factory director. You feel that there is nothing you can do."

Lou Xiaoe thought for a while, this amount of money was nothing to their Lou family, she was just surprised that it cost 100 yuan for something that hadn't happened yet, and Deputy Factory Director Li was too greedy.

"Ok."

Seeing his wife agreeing, Xu Damao smiled.

Deputy Factory Manager Li, he wanted to make friends a long time ago.

However, there has never been a chance, and this time I happened to borrow flowers to offer Buddha.

As for Lou Xiao'e, hehe!

The next day, Xu Damao jingshe refreshed himself, and specially combed his hair, it was shiny and shiny.

"Daughter-in-law, wait for my good news at home."

Lou Xiaoe lay lazily on the bed, and said hello lightly, which made Xu Damao feel bad.

Such a flower, why did I lose interest in it?

He turned around and went out, and when he came to the rolling mill, he had two packs of cigarettes in his arms.

I have been paying attention to Deputy Factory Manager Li all the time in the morning, and finally found an opportunity to come to the office before dinner.

After a while, Xu Damao came out with a happy face.

In the room, deputy director Li put the money in his pocket, and watched Xu Damao leave the closed door, feeling relieved.

Does he need the 100 yuan?

What he lacks is someone to follow him.

Sometimes people like Xu Damao who fawn on him are a help when they are used well.

With a happy expression, Deputy Factory Manager Li got up, walked slowly to the back kitchen, inspected it, and asked someone to knock down the food into the office.

At noon, everyone in the factory was eating in the cafeteria, and Liu Lan, the back chef, left with the food cooked by Sha Zhu.

Silly Zhu snorted from behind, "There is nothing good about food and drink."

As he said, he put the lunch box away, and the contents inside were exactly the same as those he took away.

Liu Lan went there for half an hour, and when she came back, she had ten yuan more in her hand, her face was flushed, and she didn't know why.

In the afternoon, Xu Damao went home, told the matter, and asked to wait for the notice.

Lou Xiao'e didn't doubt him either.

Until Friday, Xu Damao came back from get off work with a dejected expression on his face.

Lou Xiaoe asked what was going on.

Xu Damao said hesitantly, "I have a flawed background, so I can't enter the rolling mill!"

When Lou Xiaoe heard this, her face was full of depression, and she didn't mention work anymore.

From then on, she stayed in the courtyard with peace of mind and became a full-time wife.

On Saturday, Yang Xiaotao got up early, cooked the meal, and prepared more after thinking about it.

Then he got some food for Wangcai, took Xiaowei with him, and then went out facing the sun with a backpack on his back.

Today was the day he led Ran Qiuye back to Yangjiazhuang to find his way. The two agreed to meet at Hongxing Elementary School and then go back together.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Yang Xiaotao met Ran Qiuye at the gate of Hongxing Primary School.

"sorry to keep you waiting!"

Ran Qiuye was a little embarrassed, and the agreed time was eight o'clock.

But today was also unlucky, something good happened to happen, and before going out, I cleaned up and changed clothes, so it was a bit late.

Yang Xiaotao waved his hands after listening.

"It's nothing, I just came here for a while."

Ran Qiuye nodded, only seeing the dug earth pit on the ground, she knew what was going on in her heart.

In Ran Qiuye's hand was a basket for grocery shopping, which was covered with a piece of blue cloth, so it was impossible to see what was inside.

Yang Xiaotao was also embarrassed to step forward to help take it, and the two walked out of the city together when they met.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao smelled a special breath, and seeing Ran Qiuye's head down, walking slowly, Yang Xiaotao slowed down.

It suddenly occurred to me that the aunt's towel had appeared in the exchange bar a few times, but I didn't take it seriously at the time.

Now it seems that when we get married in the future, we still have to prepare for it.

The sun was scorching hot, and both of them were sweating as they walked.

Fortunately, both of them were carrying water bottles, so they didn't suffer from heat stroke.

The two left Sijiu City along the main road, and at noon, they were only halfway there.

Looking up at the sun, Yang Xiaotao put down Ran Qiuye's basket.

"There is a forest ahead. It's such a hot day. Let's take a rest and wait until noon."

Yang Xiaotao proposed, but Ran Qiuye did not refuse.

The two came under the woods and found a clean place, then Yang Xiaotao moved two stones from another place, and the two sat under the tree.

"I brought something to eat!"

As soon as she sat down, Ran Qiuye spoke.

She also saw that Yang Xiaotao knew her situation.

That's why he slowed down along the way and took good care of her.

This opens the topic and avoids embarrassment.

As he spoke, he took out two pieces of corn cakes from the basket and handed them to Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao took his hand out of the bag and reached out to take the pancake.

"This pancake looks delicious. Thanks!"

Yang Xiaotao was not polite, he gnawed down the palm-sized pancake, and bit off most of it.

The rough cornmeal was quickly dispersed under the clenching of the teeth, choking my throat a bit, I drank two sips of water, and then swallowed.

Compared to Yang Xiaotao's bold and unrestrained way of eating, Ran Qiuye is more refined, eating bit by bit and drinking from time to time.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao eating this way, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

She was also afraid that Yang Xiaotao would refuse, after all, the living conditions of the other party were said to be very good.

After Yang Xiaotao finished eating in two or three bites, seeing that Ran Qiuye still had more than half of the corn pancakes, he turned his head, "Teacher Ran, share some of your pancakes with me."

Ran Qiuye was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head, broke apart the pancakes, leaving only a small portion, and gave the rest to Yang Xiaotao.

The next moment, Yang Xiaotao took the pancakes and ate them in two or three bites. Ran Qiuye looked worried, thinking that Yang Xiaotao was really hungry.

After hesitating for a moment, he handed the leftover pancake to Yang Xiaotao, "I ate it this morning, so I'm not hungry!"

Yang Xiaotao was stunned, then laughed, took it in his hand, and ate it in two more bites.

Ran Qiuye drank water and took small sips to fill his stomach.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Yang Xiaotao opened his backpack and put an aluminum lunch box in front of Ran Qiuye, "I ate your pancakes, and you should also try my handicrafts."

Then he opened the lunch box.

Inside is a row of finger-length steamed dumplings with a peeled egg on the side and a layer of oily orange scrambled eggs underneath.

The moment the lunch box is opened, the heat inside is released, and the tempting aroma hits the face.

"This, no, no, I'm not hungry!"

Ran Qiuye swallowed while drinking water, and quickly refused.

This lunch box is not cheap.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaotao didn't mean to take it back after hearing it, so he took out a lunch box from his backpack again, and when he opened it, the contents inside were the same.

"Teacher Ran, you're not giving face."

"Give me your food, and I eat it. It's enough to save face."

"I let you taste my rice, but you won't give me face?"

What Yang Xiaotao said was true, but in Ran Qiuye's ears, it was a trick of aggressive tactics.

What she gave were ordinary pancakes with coarse grains, but what Yang Xiaotao gave were steamed dumplings with fine grains and scrambled eggs.

The two are not comparable at all.

Besides, this is something she usually dare not think about.

"Eat quickly, after the break, we have to hurry in the afternoon."

Yang Xiaotao didn't wait for Ran Qiuye to refuse, after finishing speaking, he turned his head away and picked up the lunch box to eat.

Seeing this, Ran Qiuye knew that it would be hypocritical to push back.

Only then did she understand the purpose of Yang Xiaotao's actions just now.

That's because she was afraid that she would refuse.

Suddenly, there is a feeling of emotion.

Picking up the lunch box on the side, with a heavy hand, I picked up the steamed dumplings with the chopsticks inside, and I felt that it was very delicate at a glance. The creases on the top were clear, and the stuffing inside could be seen under the sun.

Putting it in his mouth and taking a bite, Ran Qiuye froze again.

It's minced meat.

Surprised, surprised, looking at Yang Xiaotao is even more inconceivable.

These days, is meat so easy to eat?

And there are at least ten in the lunch box.

Looking up at Yang Xiaotao who was turning his back, a warm current rose in Ran Qiuye's heart.

Then continue to eat.

Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the salary behind him.

If he really wants to eat it, he can't help it.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
