Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 288 Xu Damao's thoughts

It was still light, not dark, and the wind was blowing, but there was nothing to shake in the backyard right now.

Xu Damao walked up to Xu Qing and was too embarrassed to enter Xu Qing's house. After Ma Jinghong got pregnant, she felt choked when she smelled the smell of cigarette smoke. Xu Qing was standing outside smoking, how could he go in.

Xu Damao leaned forward and said hello to Ma Jinghong who was sitting on the kang in Xu Qing's room. Then he took out his cigarette and chatted with Xu Qing standing at the door of the room.

"Qingzi, Director Li will give you a promotion today. Brother, let me remind you, that old bastard is not a good thing. You should be careful and don't be tricked."

Xu Qing hummed and agreed with Xu Damao's words.

Director Li is not a good person, he knows this very well.

I had seen this before in 63.

If I hadn't argued for it myself.

The person who raised the stakes might be Director Li’s nephew Li Hu.

In fact, Xu Qing has been on guard all these years.

You must not have the heart to harm others, but you must never have the heart to guard against others.

Whether it is Director Li or Xu Damao, Xu Qing understands very well that these two people are very thoughtful masters, and they are more like people on the same road.

Otherwise, one of them would not be the director of the 'G Committee' in the factory, and the other would be the deputy director.

The second uncle, Liu Haizhong, had taken the initiative before.

In the end, Xu Damao was not the deputy director.

At this time, Xu Damao came over. Xu Qing felt that Xu Damao was quite polite to him, so he smiled and said:
"Brother Damao, I'm fine. You should pay more attention to yourself. You help him all day long, so be careful."

"Hey, brother, I have been dealing with him for so long. I know what Director Li is capable of."

Xu Damao took a puff of cigarette, after he finished speaking, he thought about it in his mind, and then said:
"Qingzi, why don't you and I join forces to bring down Director Li's bastard? Brother, I don't like him a long time ago. At that time, I will be the director of the 'G Committee' of the factory. How can you be my deputy director? Sample?"

Xu Damao had wanted to say this a long time ago, and thought he shouldn't mention this to Xu Qing.

But now, it feels like the time has come.

Director Li wanted to plot against Xu Qing. Taking advantage of this opportunity, if he and Xu Qing joined forces to drive Director Li out of office, he, the deputy director, would be able to take advantage of the situation.

Now the other leading cadres in the factory are so suppressed by Director Li that they can't hold their heads up. If not, he can even get the position of factory director.

Thinking of it this way, Xu Damao felt elated in an instant, indescribably happy.

Seeing that Xu Qing didn't speak, Xu Damao's thoughts turned, and he said:
"Qingzi, as long as my elder brother takes the position of director, in the future your second brother is patriotic, and I will directly promote him. In addition, Feng Ming is still going to the countryside. When the time comes, I will transfer him to our factory with a word." , his work can be arranged easily."

When Xu Qing heard this, he smiled without saying a word.

Xu Damao's calculation is quite good.

Unfortunately, Xu Qing felt that this didn't mean much to him.

The second brother, Aiguo, is already working in the factory. If he doesn't go to college next year through the 'workers, peasants and soldiers', it will be a matter of time before he gets a job.

According to the words of the third brother Feng Ming, he responded to the call to go to the countryside, even if he and Xu Damao knocked down Director Li and Xu Damao became the director, but the country did not say that he would be allowed to go back to the city, and he would still not be able to return.

Xu Qing himself never cared about whether he was the deputy director or not.

The current situation will continue for several years, Xu Qing doesn't want to climb high and fall badly.

All in all, Xu Qing felt that Xu Damao's idea was really not good, and the cakes he drew were not good at all.

Xu Qing did not respond in a hurry. After putting out the cigarette butt in his hand, he said slowly:
"Brother Damao, Director Li is not a good person, let alone a fuel-efficient lamp. Even if the two of us knock him down, based on your understanding of him, will he let it go?"

Xu Damao didn't speak. He suddenly remembered the time he gave Director Li a small yellow croaker. He took two puffs of his cigarette and his face suddenly became solemn.

During this period of time, I was just thinking about how to climb up the ladder and how to get Director Li, and I almost forgot that as the deputy director, his future was not bright.

If Director Li gets anxious and fights to the death with him, not only will he not be able to gain any advantage, he may not even be able to keep his current position.

Xu Damao shivered uncontrollably from the cold wind that swarmed into the backyard from the middle courtyard.

"Then Qingzi, pretend you didn't hear about it, brother, I didn't say anything."

Xu Damao raised his head and stared at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing smiled, but said nothing.

Xu Damao's thoughts, he naturally knew, was afraid that if he said it, it would reach Director Li's ears,
After all, Director Li is really not a good person.

If Director Li knew about this, he would definitely attack Xu Damao first.

By then, Xu Damao would be finished.

Xu Qing exhaled, stomped his feet, and said seriously: "Brother Da Mao, put your heart in your stomach, I'm not that boring."

Xu Damao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Xu Qing say that, with a smile on his face, but he was still a little worried.

It's just that after thinking about it, after knowing Xu Qing for so many years, Xu Qing is not the kind of person who puts shoes on others behind his back, so he is completely relieved.

Turn around early in the morning.

In the morning, Xu Qing had breakfast with his daughter-in-law, Patriotic, and little girl in the house, took a short rest, put on a scarf, put on gloves, pushed the bicycle, and drove Jinghong to the hospital for a physical examination.

The little girl wanted to accompany her, but Xu Qing did not refuse, while Aiguo stayed at home.

The weather was nice in the morning, it hadn't snowed in the past two days, and it was the weekend, so there were many people on the street.

The little girl was walking on Xu Qing's left, chatting with Jing Hong while looking up at the trees planted on both sides of the street.

Every winter, the trees on the street are bare, and they don’t look aesthetically pleasing, and the dry branches will only come back to life in the spring of next year.

The little girl glanced twice, then turned her eyes away, and reached out to help her sister-in-law Jinghong tidy her scarf.

Xu Qing was pushing the bicycle, and when he met a child playing in front of him, he rang the bell to remind him to avoid it.

On the streets today, it is rare to see those young students walking around. At the time when the sky just changed, those students were in groups, black and white, making trouble everywhere.

A few years passed, but they calmed down on their own.

Of course, the state also took action.

In short, the street seems to have returned to its original appearance. The vendors who set up stalls continue to shout along the street, and there are many diners in front of the steaming fried liver and braised stalls.

Xu Qing walked up to San Huzi and said hello, but did not sit down and eat a bowl.

His wife was going to the hospital for a physical check-up. Xu Qing had breakfast at home before going out in the morning, and there was no room in his stomach at the moment.

Seeing Xu Qing, the three tigers didn't greet the guests. They hurried to Xu Qing, handed Xu Qing a cigarette, and introduced his younger sister, the girl who was helping him to take care of the booth, to Xu Qing and Jinghong. And know the little girl.

"Qingzi, this is my sister, Meijuan. If you come over here from now on, if you don't see me, look for her."

Xu Qing nodded, stopped the bicycle and exchanged greetings with San Huzi, then continued towards the hospital.

There were a lot of people in the hospital, but luckily the little girl came with her. While Xu Qing was parking her bicycle, Jing Hong and the little girl went in to register first.

After some examinations, Jinghong and the fetus were both healthy. Xu Qing thanked the doctor, and then took his wife and younger sister out of the hospital.

On the way back, Xu Qing asked Jinghong and the little girl to walk while he rode his bicycle to the state-run store to buy grain.

There is not much food left at home, so I have to buy some to supplement this weekend.

Although the little girl works in a state-owned store, she is a girl who has to buy forty or fifty kilograms of food at a time. It is too tiring to carry it home, and Xu Qing is reluctant to let her sister do that.

There is only one bicycle at home, and Xu Qing usually rides his second brother to work.

Today he will go for a run alone, so that the little girl can carry the food home hummingly tomorrow.

Ma Jinghong originally wanted to follow Xu Qing to the state-owned store, but there were many people in the state-owned store every day. She had a big belly. If she got a bump, she would be in trouble.

Therefore, Jinghong had no choice but to take the little girl, her aunt and her sister-in-law, strolling slowly on the street while heading back to the compound.

After Xu Qing separated from his wife and younger sister, he pedaled his bicycle and disappeared into the crowd in an instant, heading towards the state-owned store.

There were really many people in the state-run store. After Xu Qing parked his bicycle, he struggled for a long time to squeeze in.

My younger sister works here, and Xu Qing hasn't been here for a long time.

Standing in the state-run store at this moment, Xu Qing took out the food and meat tickets that had been distributed in advance from his pocket, first went to buy two catties of pork, and then went to the place where he bought grain, and asked for thirty catties of white flour and fifteen catties of stick noodles .

Before leaving, Xu Qing bought another catty of toffee with a candy ticket.

In addition, Xu Qing used cloth tickets to pull five feet of cloth.

Xu Qing put these things on his bicycle, tied them up, and rode to a deserted dead end, where he divided all the things he bought using his ability.

Thirty catties of white flour became sixty catties, and fifteen catties of stick flour became thirty catties.

Two catties of pork became four catties, toffee became two catties, and five-foot cloth became ten feet.

Although Xu Qing's ability is useless for money, the cost of shopping is actually reduced by half.

After putting all the things on the bicycle again, Xu Qing turned over and rode on the bicycle. He turned out of the alley with a leisurely look on his face, walked along the street, and returned to the compound.

When Xu Qing went back, the little girl and Jinghong hadn't come back yet, and they didn't know where they went.

Xu Qing parked his bicycle at the door of his house, greeted his second brother, and took the things back to the house together.

Half an hour later, Xu Qing and Aiguo poured the food into the noodle urn in the kitchen, and put the pork into the cupboard, and the little girl and Jing Hong came back unsteadily.

At the same time, Shazhu and He Yushui from the Intermediate Court also came to visit. Xu Qing handed Shazhu and Yushui two of the toffee he just bought.

Sha Zhu took the candy, peeled off the candy wrapper, stuffed it into his mouth, took a sip of the cigarette, and suddenly felt a special taste.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Ma Jiefang rode over with Wu Yuemei. They were getting engaged this month. They came here today because they wanted to say another word to Xu Qing and Jing Hong.

Xu Qing took out the dried fruits that his third brother Feng Ming brought home from his last visit to treat his brother-in-law and future brother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Last week, Ma Jiefang came over and actually ate it. Wu Yuemei ate two dried persimmons for the first time, and felt so delicious that her sweet eyes narrowed.

Ma Jiefang curled his lips and raised his eyebrows, thinking that there is nothing delicious about persimmons, they are so sweet that they can make people tired.

Wu Yuemei glanced at Ma Jiefang, Ma Jiefang smiled immediately, quickly grabbed two persimmons, handed them to Wu Yuemei and said, "This persimmon is the best, you should eat more."

Wu Yuemei snorted, rolled her eyes at Ma Jiefang, turned around and chatted with Jinghong and the little girl, the three girls.

As soon as he went to work on Monday, Xu Qing was called to the office by Director Li as soon as he entered the factory.

Xu Qing didn't know why Director Li was looking for him so early, he was a little puzzled, but he went anyway.

Seeing Xu Qing coming, Director Li smiled and said:
"Comrade Xu Qing, last week your fitter department completed the task very well. I personally am very optimistic about you. Our factory's 'G Committee' lacks people like you. I want you to join in. Please think about it. "

Xu Qing looked at Director Li with a calm face, but was surprised in his heart. At the same time, he suddenly realized why Director Li promoted him to a first-level clerk last Saturday.

This is trying to win over himself and pull himself into the gang.

Xu Qing thought for a while and said: "Director, I appreciate your kindness, the 'G Committee' of the factory is pretty good, but I just feel that my personal ability is not enough.

At the moment, I am very busy with matters in the benchwork department. I am afraid that if I join the factory's "G Committee", then both ends will be too busy and I will not be able to do anything well. I'd better do my job well. "

What Xu Qing meant was very straightforward, just not to join Director Li's boat.

Director Li's expression darkened instantly, and he was a little annoyed. He took the initiative to find Xu Qing, but Xu Qing refused.

"Xu Qing, I suggest you think about it carefully. How many people in our factory want to come in, but I don't agree. You should think about it."

"Director, I think clearly."

Director Li put his hands behind his back, with displeasure on his face.

Xu Qing, with a calm face, fought with Director Li without any fear.
It's not like Xu Qing didn't understand what was going on in the factory in the past few years. The factory's 'G Committee' made everyone in the factory miserable.

How many people secretly resent.

Although there are indeed many people who want to join, Xu Qing has no idea at all.

Director Li made a mistake and was dumbfounded for a moment, feeling a little confused on his face.

I thought that if I gave Xu Qing some benefits, Xu Qing would obey me.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qing didn't like this at all.

After thinking for a while, Director Li made up his mind, closed the door of the office, and said to Xu Qing:

"Xu Qing, if you join the 'G Committee' of the factory, I will let you be the deputy director just like Xu Damao."

Xu Qing secretly smiled inwardly, Director Li is really the director, and his technique of painting cakes is better than that of Xu Damao.

It's just that Xu Qing neither despises nor cares about the position of deputy director.

If Xu Qing wants to be an official in the factory, then in the past few years, he has worked a little harder. With his high school education, he can study a little bit, do some activities, and make some achievements. Even if he is promoted step by step, he can almost rise up. .

However, Xu Qing has no interest in this.

Director Li wants to win over him with just a deputy director. Who is he looking down on?

What's more, at this time, the timing was wrong, so Xu Qing didn't want to stand too high.

Seeing that Xu Qing was still unmoved, Director Li murmured in his heart, wondering how deep Xu Qing really was, even a deputy director was not satisfied.

However, Director Li didn't have the patience to fight with Xu Qing here, it was impossible for him to give up his position as director.

Furthermore, if Xu Qing climbed too high, he was afraid that Xu Qing would turn around and deal with him.

After pondering for a while, Director Li said:
"Xu Qing, I made you a first-level clerk. The matter between me and Liu Lan is you."

"Oh, that matter, director, you worry too much, you have a lot of things to do every day, how can I bother you every day, I have a lot of things at work, I am busy, so I forget it, if it wasn't for you last week Let my benchwork department rush to work, and I almost didn’t even think about it.”

Director Li was stunned, okay, this kid Xu Qing speaks softly, it really hurts to pierce someone!

Since Xu Qing was not willing to join the 'G Committee' and to help himself, Director Li did not insist.

As long as Xu Qing doesn't expose his affairs, everything will be easy to handle.

Director Li had the bottom line in his heart, knowing that Xu Qing would be safe if he didn't provoke Xu Qing, he turned around and walked back behind the desk, and said with a smile:
"Xu Qing, that's all for now. If you want to join the 'G Committee' in the future, I welcome you at any time."

Xu Qing responded and left.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

Director Li didn't find any faults anymore, and Xu Qing's life returned to the moistness of the past.

As for Ma Jiefang, it was time to get engaged to Wu Yuemei.
