The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 213 Xu Lou’s family breaks up
Xu family.

Hearing Xu Jixiang's knock on the door, Xu Damao finally opened the door.

Like a 140-pound child, he threw himself into Xu Jixiang's arms and burst into tears.

Xu Jixiang also seemed shocked when he learned that Xu Damao was found to be infertile by the hospital.

first.

It shocked him that the Xu family, a single generation of three generations, might become extinct in the future.

Second come.

It was shocking that Lou Zhenhua didn't save him any face, and took Xu Damao directly to the hospital for an examination.

And after the test results came out, Xu Damao was left in the hospital, which was devoid of any human touch.

Considering that it was related to the future of the Xu family, Xu Jixiang brought Xu's mother from the countryside, and the family sat together to discuss.

inside the house.

Smoky.

The atmosphere is tense.

Xu Jixiang frowned, looked at Xu Damao and said, "Da Mao, don't cry. Western medicine can't help this kind of disease. We can still see Chinese medicine."

"But the doctor said that my physical development is abnormal and it is a physical defect that cannot be cured." Xu Damao lay in bed and was hopeless.

Xu Jixiang stared: "I know an old Chinese doctor, maybe two or three soups and medicines will cure your illness."

In this era, traditional Chinese medicine has not been lost, many ancient prescriptions are still there, and some old traditional Chinese medicine doctors can indeed create miracles.

Traditional Chinese medicine still has a high status in the hearts of ordinary people.

Xu Damao also knew this, so he no longer objected and agreed to see a Chinese medicine doctor later.

Xu's mother said worriedly: "Dad, the most important thing now is whether the Lou family will wait for our Damao to cure his illness. It would be great if Lou Xiao'e can marry our Xu Damao. Anyway, Damao will get sick sooner or later." It can be cured.”

"I'll go to Lou's house later."

Xu Jixiang is also afraid of long nights and many dreams.

In order to marry Lou Xiao'e, he retired early and moved back to his hometown.

This time, there are 62 eggs given to the Lou family alone.

If the Lou family really goes back on their word, then the Xu family will be put in a better position this time.

Things must be done step by step, and meals must be eaten bite by bite.

After the family meeting was over, Xu Jixiang and Xu's mother took Xu Damao to the gray-haired old Chinese medicine doctor.

By taking his pulse, the old Chinese doctor also determined that there was something wrong with Xu Damao's body.

After hearing the old Chinese doctor’s diagnosis, Xu Damao asked eagerly: “Old sir, can my disease still be cured?”

"Look what stupid things you say, Mr. Zhang is the most famous man in our capital. His ancestors used to be imperial physicians in the palace, and it is said that he was given to Guangxu to treat infertility. You are not here at all for such a small illness. That’s it.”

Mother Xu raised her chin and motioned to the old Chinese doctor: "Is that right, old sir?"

"Don't mention the past anymore. I am just an old doctor now and have nothing to do with my ancestors."

The old Chinese medicine doctor who was originally a god was so frightened by Xu's mother's words that his hands and feet trembled, and thick beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.

He picked up a towel and wiped his forehead, looked at Xu Damao and said: "The cure may not be incurable, but don't be anxious. I will prescribe you some medicine first. Come back in a few days and I will help you diagnose. Let's see." Effect."

Hearing the words of the old Chinese medicine doctor, Xu Damao felt hope rise in his heart.

And Xu Jixiang was also determined.

After taking the medicine and sending Xu Damao back, he came to Lou's house with a basket of eggs.

The result was the same as what happened to Xu Damao last time. Xu Jixiang was also blocked from the door by Lou's servant Zhang Ma.

"Xu Jixiang, Mr. Lou said, you don't need to come again."

Xu Jixiang did not expect Lou Zhenhua to be so heartless, "Mother Zhang, please tell Mr. Lou that my Damao has found an old Chinese doctor who can cure his disease."

Zhang Ma seemed a little embarrassed. Her mission was to stop Xu Jixiang, not to send a message.

Besides, she doesn't like Xu Damao.

That man was very arrogant. When he was at Lou's house, he always looked down on Zhang Ma.

He also didn't want to think about the fact that Mother Zhang's current work was done by Mother Xu back then.

"Xu Jixiang, don't make things difficult for me."

Xu Jixiang saw that Zhang Ma was unreasonable and was about to get angry. Suddenly he remembered something and raised his head to look towards the second floor.

Sure enough, I saw Lou Zhenhua standing behind the window on the second floor and looking down.

When Lou Zhenhua saw Xu Jixiang, he was also stunned.

"Director Lou, the two children love each other. You must not act like a mandarin duck. My Damao's illness will be cured soon. Otherwise, you should marry Lou Xiao'e to my Damao first."

Xu Jixiang shouted at the top of his lungs, but Lou Zhenhua didn't say a word and just lowered the curtains.

Tan Liya was also in the room and saw the situation outside, "Lao Lou, can Xu Damao's disease really be cured?"

"What a joke! He has abnormal development, that is, he cannot secrete the stuff that makes children. Doctor Lu said that it is impossible to recover." Lou Zhenhua said with a dark face.

Dr. Lu used to be the Lou family's family doctor.

He came back from studying in Nanyang, and his medical skills are superb, so he couldn't make a mistake.

Tan Liya sighed in her heart and said: "Then it's up to us to do it now. The Xu family obviously won't give up. Even if we find a good family for Xiao'e, Xu Jixiang will stop it."

Lou Zhenhua also understands Xu Jixiang's temperament.

This man looks honest and simple, but he has a lot of tricks. If he is targeted, he will definitely cause big trouble.

The last thing the Lou family needs now is trouble.

"Since Xu Jixiang has no face, then I won't give him that face."

Lou Zhenhua lit a cigar, took a deep breath, and said in a cold voice:

"I will ask Butler Zhou to let go of Xu Damao's infertility later.

In this way, Xu Jixiang can be given a good beating.

Also.

If the people know the whole story, they won’t blame our Lou family.

Our Lou family still needs to maintain a good image among the masses. "

Hearing this idea, Tan Liya's eyes widened and she couldn't bear it: "But if this is the case, how can Xu Damao behave? Zhenhua, have we gone too far?
Even if we are not related to the Xu family, there is no need to be like this."

"Too much? If Xu Jixiang, a weakling like me, fights with me, I have to give him a try, otherwise he will really think that he has turned over and become the master!"

Lou Zhenhua had made up his mind and immediately called Butler Zhou to arrange the matter.

When Lou Xiao'e saw Lou Zhenhua resigning from the Xu family's marriage, she thought she had finally got a chance and clamored for Lou Zhenhua to consider Li Aiguo.

But Lou Zhenhua refused without hesitation.

He had done so many things and was so frightened!

Li Aiguo was in the organization. If he knew anything about it and stabbed him, he would be in big trouble.

Even if you want to find another partner for Lou Xiaoe, you still have to find a young man with a good background and who can handle it.

"Xiao'e, just listen to your father. In a few days, we will look for a young man for you in the steel rolling mill. This time, I guarantee that you will be satisfied." Tan Liya was also not interested in Li Aiguo.

The young driver was so rude.

Who is the Lou family? Before liberation, they were big capitalists.

Even the princes and nobles had to be polite when they saw Tan Liya.

Nowadays, even if you are a little down and out and want to find a son-in-law, the workers in the steel rolling mill still have to queue up.

A little train driver really thinks he is a big deal?

Lou Xiaoe did not expect such a result.

Suddenly I was so angry that I burst into tears.

After a big quarrel with the two of them, instead of changing their minds, Lou Zhenhua locked them up.

Li Aiguo didn't know this.

He is also very busy now.

On the other hand, he was busy driving trains and continuing trade between Beijing and Tianjin.

In his spare time, he also formulates service standards and safe driving standards for flight attendants.

On the other side, Zhou Ke and Huang Shuhua are about to get married.

As Zhou Ke's childhood friend, Li Aiguo also had to help.

No, just after returning to the locomotive depot after a busy day, Li Aiguo was dragged by Zhou to the railway community two or three miles away from the locomotive depot before he could take a shower.

Climbing to the fifth floor in one breath, Zhou Ke pointed to a yellow wax wooden door and said with a smile: "How about this, this is my new house?!"

"Have you been assigned a house? Why didn't I hear the news?"

open the door.

The house is only about thirty or forty bungalows in size and has no toilet or kitchen. It is similar to an ordinary work unit dormitory.

"During the past few days, I have solved several big cases in a row. Now I have become the squad leader. This is specially given to me by the superiors to reward me."

Although the house is small, Zhou Ke seems extremely excited. After all, this is his small home.

Li Aiguo also disliked the small size of the house at first, but later he felt relieved after thinking about it.

This is within the third ring.In future generations, it will be worth at least a million, so it will be directly distributed.

You don’t need to spend a penny, what else do you want for your bike?

Zhou Ke brought Li Aiguo here with the ultimate goal of getting him to help clean up the house.

This house is quite old, with mottled white and gray on the walls, and crooked tables, chairs and benches.

"How about you also ask the engineering team in the locomotive depot to help you renovate it?" Li Aiguo suggested.

Zhou Ke rolled his eyes: "How can I have so much money? Do you really think that the salary of everyone in our locomotive depot is as high as your train driver?"

Think about it too.

Although Zhou Ke is a team leader, his salary level is not high, only about 40 yuan a month.

And if you want to get married, you have to buy 48 legs that turn three times and ring one time.

If you can save money, you should naturally save money.

These days, there are ways to save money.

Li Aiguo rode his bicycle back to the scrap shop, got a large pile of old newspapers, and glued them on the wall, making it look like that.

As for furniture and the like, you can buy them at trust stores, which are cheap and of good quality.

Bicycle Zhou Ke already has it.

The only problem is the radio.

This thing requires votes.

In fact, Zhou Ke works as a railway police officer and often deals with all kinds of religions, so he has many wild ways.

But the more this happens, the more he has to avoid suspicion and become more vigilant.

On weekdays, I don’t even dare to go to the pigeon market, for fear of accidentally eating honey poison pills.

"Wang Dakui should be able to get it. Just wait for my news." Li Aiguo gave him an idea.

Zhou Ke had also heard of Wang Dakui.

Knowing that this person was Li Aiguo's classmate and quite reliable, he readily accepted it.

Li Aiguo returned to the scrap shop again, entrusted the matter to Wang Dakui, and took stock of the scrap shop's accounts this time.

When we returned to the courtyard, it was already past six in the afternoon and the sky was getting dark.

As soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by Yan Bugui.

"Patriotism is back." His small eyes behind the tortoiseshell frames blinked.

Li Aiguo knew that Yan Bugui wanted to ask Yan Jiecheng about his performance in the maintenance section.

Since suffering a big loss last time, Yan Bugui has been particularly worried about his eldest son and wants to inquire about news every day.

"Third uncle, don't worry. Yan Jiecheng has been performing very well recently. I heard from their team leader that his output this month has been ranked among the top."

Hearing this, Yan Bugui narrowed his eyes with joy.

"Thanks to you this time, otherwise, my solution would have been fired.

By the way, my Jiefang's grades in school are not good, so we might as well stop letting him go to school and follow Jie Cheng to work as a coal worker in the locomotive depot. What do you think? "

"Don't do it, third uncle. Yan Jiefang is still young and may not be able to go to high school in the future. It is a pity that he is now a worker after leaving school." Li Aiguo said: "Besides, the locomotive depot does not recruit people under the age of 16. ."

"Really? That's such a pity."

Seeing Yan Bugui's regretful look, Li Aiguo couldn't help but smile.

However, it is understandable. In this era, due to the high status of workers, the importance of reading was not highlighted.

Some parents feel that if they study less for a few years and start working sooner, they can subsidize their family more.

That is to say, Yan Bugui is an old teacher, and a few children have only finished elementary school and junior high school.

There are many children in the compound, all of whom have left school after graduating from elementary school.

Li Aiguo is an outsider, so that's all he can say.

As for whether Yan Bugui would be jealous of money and make Yan Jiecheng drop out of school, it was beyond his control.

Pushing the bicycle back home, I put the clothes changed and washed in the past two days into the washbasin, and carried them to the pool in the middle courtyard.

It was the coolest time of the day, and there were many people around the faucet.

It’s easy to sweat in the summer, so take this opportunity to wash the clothes and put them on the clothesline so as not to delay wearing them tomorrow.

The guys were chatting and laughing, and the air was full of joy.

Doing laundry is easy.

Break the soap locust into pieces, put it into a basin, stir evenly, and then put the clothes in the basin to soak.

Wait for more than ten minutes, pick up the clothes, rub them vigorously, and the clothes will become clean.

The only trick is strength.

As long as you have strong strength, you can clean even the dirty clothes.

Li Aiguo was rubbing his hands with a sigh of relief when he suddenly smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine.

Jia Dongxu was sitting on a chair watching Qin Huairu washing clothes. He raised his head and looked at the backyard, and said in a strange tone: "Xu Damao's family is boiling medicine again. There must be something wrong with his health."

Li Aiguo raised his head and asked, "Does Xu Damao's family often cook medicine these days?"

He was always busy and paid little attention to things in the compound.

Qin Huairu didn't expect Li Patriot to talk to her, so she rushed to answer: "Since Xu Damao was taken away by Lou Zhenhua that day and came back in a state of disgrace, the smell of Chinese medicine has been smelling from the Xu family every day."

Normally, Jia Dongxu would have been angry and scolded Qin Huairu.

It's just that at this moment, he only cares about eating melon and doesn't care about that anymore.

"If you ask me, there must be something wrong with Xu Damao's health. The Lou family found out and the Lou family broke off the engagement."

Several aunts who did laundry also nodded in agreement.

"I think so. In the past, Xu Damao would show off his marriage to the Lou family in the compound every now and then, but there has been no movement these days."

"Also, Xu Jixiang and Damao Niang have also come back from the countryside."

"Xu Damao has a dead face hanging all day long, as if someone owes him money."

"Jia Dongxu got to the point this time."

Listening to these discussions, Li Aiguo silently praised them in his heart.

Able to summarize useful intelligence from limited information and deduce correct results.

This is indeed a Siheyuan intelligence station.

Jia Dongxu has not received praise from residents for a long time.

Standing up and pinching his waist with both hands, he was as proud as an old turtledove on a tree branch.

At this time, a voice came from a distance.

"You haven't heard yet, Xu Damao is suffering from infertility and will not be able to have children in this life!"

Unlike the residents' speculation, this is real inside information.

The residents' focus suddenly shifted from Jia Dongxu to the visitor.

That person was clearly Liu Haizhong, the second uncle of the Siheyuan.

I saw him walking in a square shape with his big belly, his fat cheeks bumping up and down, his big belly looked like he had stolen a volleyball, and he looked particularly excited.

Jia Dongxu, who was robbed of the limelight, was a little unwilling to accept it. He rolled his eyes and said, "Second uncle, how did you know?"

"Look, this is the disadvantage of not being close to the leader!"

Liu Haizhong walked among the crowd, put his hands behind his back and said triumphantly: "I went to the workshop director's office to report my work today, and I heard it from the workshop director himself, and now it has spread throughout our forging workshop.

It is said that Lou Zhenhua personally took Xu Damao to the hospital for a checkup. Xu Damao's body development was not normal, and it seemed that the pill was bad. "

This statement came out.

The residents' eyes suddenly widened.

This melon is so big and fragrant!

In order to regain the focus, Jia Dongxu said loudly: "Before, before Silly Zhu was arrested, he once scolded Xu Damao for not being able to lay eggs. I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"Xu Damao deserves it. Look at how arrogant he has been since he became related to the Lou family."

"It's all right now, it turned out to be an extinct account."

Before Jia Dongxu's voice fell, a figure walked straight towards him.

I saw Xu Damao carrying a stainless steel pot and heading towards Jia Dongxu with a ferocious expression.

The medicinal juice in the stainless steel pot spilled on the ground. He should have come out to pour out the medicinal dregs.

"Sun thief! Let you talk nonsense!"

Xu Damao raised the stainless steel pot high and buckled it down.

"boom!"

Jia Dongxu never thought in his life that his head would one day compete with the hardness of a stainless steel pot.

of course.

The result is undoubtedly that the stainless steel pot wins.
