Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Chapter 203: Ladi loses her husband, Damao gets promoted

"For God's sake, where did you get these things?"

During the weekend, Xiang Yunduan rarely had some free time. He thought to himself that he had not been back to his hometown for a while, so he brought some food home. It had been several months since the last time he helped his family.

The family didn't ask him for food during this period. It was probably because they had just harvested corn. However, although the grain had just been harvested, the yield was a bit low due to natural disasters, so I handed in what was due. From now on, there won’t be much left, and I don’t know if it can last until the wheat harvest next June.

Xiang Yunduan doesn't want his family to eat in vain, otherwise, his preparation work a year in advance will be in vain.

"I said, boss, you can't make mistakes. Now that you are a cadre, you have to pay more attention to your identity. You must not be like those black-skinned bastards before liberation, who only wanted to take advantage of others!"

Liang Honghua watched Xiang Yunduan take out a small bag of rice, a small bag of millet, and a small bag of flour from the three bags, and then took out two chickens, two ducks, and two large carps. The expression on his face was extremely surprised. .

"Mom, look at what you said. Don't you still know who I am? What can I do? I bought these with my own money, so you can rest assured. My current salary is eight dollars a month. It's more than ten yuan, you don't know, your wife is also over forty, our family is not short of money!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Of course Mom knows, but she's still worried. In this situation, it's not easy to get some food!" Liang Honghua said, directing Xiang Yunduan to move everything into the kitchen and hide it.

The reason why I want to hide it is because I am afraid that others will see it. These days, it is difficult for everyone, and it will be troublesome if they see it. If someone comes to beat the autumn wind, will you give it or not?

The factory where Liang Ladi and his wife worked was a small machine repair shop, not far from the steel rolling mill. There seemed to be rumors that the machine repair shop was going to be merged into the steel rolling mill.

It turned out that Liang Ladi's husband, Hu Lamei's son-in-law, had an accident while working in the factory last month. I don't know the details of the accident. Anyway, he was directly electrocuted to death.

As soon as the things were hidden, Xiang Yunduan took a sip of tea and was about to chat with his wife, but unexpectedly someone came to visit.

He thought Hu Lamei wanted his help in getting some food in the city, but he didn't expect that he would be asking for such a favor.

"Aunt Hu, what do you mean, let me wander around the city to find another one for Sister Ladi?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

"Oh, my aunt has such a hard life. She has given birth to five daughters and not a single son in her life. God doesn't even open his eyes, because he doesn't want to see me..."

Hu Lamei began to cry as she spoke, which caught Xiang Yunduan off guard. The key was that even after listening for a long time, he didn't understand what kind of help Hu Lamei wanted from him. She was so sad, and he was too embarrassed to urge her. I can only listen slowly.

Xiang Yunduan thought Hu Lamei was here to visit, but he didn't expect that he had something to ask for. He glanced at Liang Honghua and saw that his mother also had a strange look on her face. She probably didn't know what kind of help Hu Lamei wanted from him.

When Xiang Yunduan heard what Hu Lamei said, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard from Si Zhu last month that there was an accident in the machine repair shop and a worker died. The steel rolling mill took it as a warning and held an education conference on production safety. Woolen cloth.

"The terminal is back? I see a motorcycle parked at the door!"

Hu Lamei was Liang Ladi's mother. The two families had a good relationship in the village, so they often visited each other.

"You are so promising but not promising. Aunt Hu, you praise me too much. If you have anything to say, I will definitely not refuse if I can help!" Xiang Yunduan said.

Unexpectedly, the person who died turned out to be Liang Ladi's husband.

"Master, you are promising. I heard that you have become a cadre in the city. Auntie, I want to ask you something, but you should worry about it!" Hu Lamei said.

After Hu Lamei exchanged a few pleasantries, she got down to business.

"Aunt Hu, sit down quickly!" Xiang Yunduan greeted.

Last time there was no food at home, I took advantage of Liang Ladi's return home and asked her to go to the city to report a letter to Xiang Yunduan.

So it's best to hide it.

It took a while to figure out what was going on.

"His aunt, come in and sit down quickly, Yun Duan has just come back not long ago!" Liang Honghua opened the door curtain and saw that it was Hu Lamei.

What I'm most afraid of is that if someone gets pink eye, if they report it then, a lot of trouble will happen.

"Yes, as a cadre in the city, you must know a lot of people and have face, so you must help my aunt!

Your sister Ladi just gave birth to a baby some time ago. These big, small, and small babies, plus the newly born Xiuer, are four children. You said she is a girl. What if there is no man in the family? Raise these children up! "Hu Lamei said and started crying again.

The daughter was lucky enough to give birth to three sons at once, but the problem was that it was really difficult to raise so many children. In the current situation, food was scarce, which made it even worse.

"Aunt Hu, is this your own idea, or have you discussed it with Sister Ladi? Does Sister Ladi have any intention of finding another one?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

Liang Ladi is not Qin Huairu's petty temperament, who is resigned to everything. Liang Ladi's character can definitely be called a "big heroine". She dares to love and hate, is positive and optimistic, and is very independent. If this is Liang Ladi Ladi doesn't have that idea now, how can he introduce it?
"Of course we have discussed it. You, Sister Ladi, must find another one. Otherwise, how will you survive this day? Just introduce him boldly!" Hu Lamei said.

"Okay, I'll contact Sister Ladi when I get back to the city. As for the candidate, I really have to inquire. After all, I've only been in the city for more than a year and I don't know many people. But don't worry, Auntie, this is I will definitely take it to heart!" Xiang Yunduan said, patting his chest.

Seeing Xiang Yunduan agree, Hu Lamei wiped away her tears and her face became more beautiful.

Hu Lamei came to Xiang Yunduan with some ideas. The main purpose of her daughter's remarriage was of course to share the pressure. The burden of four children was too heavy.

Therefore, the conditions of the person you want to remarry must not be too bad. If it is too bad, how can you share the pressure?

Xiang Yunduan works as a cadre in the city. Not only does he have contact with a wide range of people, but his level must be higher. If Xiang Yunduan is asked to introduce him, he probably won't introduce people with poor conditions. This is the key!
……

I stayed at home all morning and talked with my family. After lunch, Xiang Yunduan went back home.

In fact, not only does he go home occasionally, but his younger brother Xiang Yunlong also goes home to visit when he has time. Yu Li was taken back once by Xiang Yunlong.

Liang Honghua is quite satisfied with these two sons. She often educates her younger son Xiang Yunjie at home, asking him to study hard and work in the city like her two brothers in the future.

After returning from his hometown, Xiang Yunduan was not in a hurry to return to the courtyard, and there was no one at home. Tao Xiao also went on a business trip to Hebei Province with Taili's team, and it was estimated that it would take three or four days to come back.

"Auntie, how are you doing at home recently?" Xiang Yunduan came to Ye Xiaofeng's house to visit.

"Okay, everything is okay, comrade leader, thank you, our whole family is grateful to you!" Ye Xiaofeng's mother took Xiang Yunduan's hand and kept expressing her gratitude.

Especially since Ye Xiaoshan is now also working at the police dog base, following Xiang Yunduan, the old man is really grateful.

After staying at Ye's house for a while, Xiang Yunduan left, leaving a chicken for Ye's house. As for Ye Xiaofeng, he was still in the same state, with no signs of waking up.

Back in the courtyard, Xiang Yunduan had nothing to do. He filled some water and gave the three-wheeled motorcycle a good scrub.

Since this car came into his hands, it has been ridden a lot and has not been properly washed.

"Director Xiang, you're busy!"

While the car was being washed, Xu Damao came over with a smile on his face.

"Da Mao, looking at you like this, what kind of happy event do you have?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

"Hey, the director is the director. He can see through me at a glance. Hehe, it's really a happy event. I'm preparing a table at home in the evening. I want to treat you, director, and some of the elders in the courtyard to have a drink. Director, you deserve the honor. !" Xu Damao said with a shy face.

"Oh? What's the happy event? Why don't I know any news?"

Xiang Yunduan raised his eyebrows. He originally wanted to say, "Is it possible that your wife is pregnant?" After thinking about it, he didn't say it. After all, Xu Damao really couldn't have a child, so he didn't want to rub salt into his wounds.

"Hey, it's not a big deal to say it. Compared with you, director, I'm a little embarrassed to say it!"

Xu Damao was humble for a moment, and then continued: "This is not because I have worked hard and seriously during this period. The factory mentioned it to me a little bit. Now I am at the clerk level. There are two people in charge of the publicity department in our factory, which is a small job." Now that I’m the leader, I just want to treat everyone to a drink!”

When Xu Damao spoke, he looked humble, but in fact he was not humble at all. He was just shouting and showing off.

But Xiang Yunduan really doesn't care about this. If he were still the butcher before, he might still be able to look up to Xu Damao, but now, haha!

Xu Damao also knew that his achievements were nothing in Xiang Yunduan's eyes, but he couldn't help but want to show off.

He really lived a somewhat depressed life. After all, his family life was not harmonious.

But speaking of it, his promotion had something to do with the disharmony in his family life.

Because he wanted to avoid Lou Xiaoe, soon after he got married, he kept asking to go to the countryside to show movies. In the entire Publicity Department, he went there the most often, and his work achievements were obvious to all. Moreover, the Publicity Department often received letters from the villages below. Thank you letter for coming.

Because of this, Xu Damao was promoted, and the Publicity Department has decided to recommend him as a model worker in the steel rolling mill this year.

"Okay, Damao, you have become a leader. This is indeed a happy event. Okay, I have nothing to do in the evening, so let's have a drink. I just don't know how your Xiao'e's cooking is!" Xiang Yunduan nodded and said. .

"Don't worry, Director, the food will definitely satisfy you!"

Xu Damao cursed in his heart, what kind of food can that girl do? Steamed rice is always cooked! For dinner, you have to buy food from a restaurant outside.

Speaking of this, Xu Damao got angry. Lou Xiao'e was a rich young lady before she got married. She stretched out her clothes and opened her mouth. She didn't know how to cook. She didn't know how to do housework. She chased him to the hospital all day long. So annoying!
It was around eight o'clock in the evening and it was already completely dark. After all, it was November and it got dark early.

"Come on, come on, Director Xiang, please sit down quickly, Xiao'e, pour some tea for Director Xiang!"

When Xiang Yunduan arrived, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui had already arrived. Although he was the youngest, he was the last one to arrive, but the three uncles did not express any dissatisfaction.

"Dah!"

Lou Xiao'e placed the teacup heavily in front of Xiang Yunduan, turned around and left without saying a word.

Although Xiang Yunduan is a deputy department-level cadre, in Lou Xiao'e's eyes, he is really just a small role. Because of her father's relationship, her natal family often has cadres coming and going, let alone department level, even at the division level, she has never poured tea. Now I have to pour tea for Xiang Yunduan, which makes me feel so happy.

Xiang Yunduan doesn't care about Lou Xiao'e's attitude. The eldest lady has a normal temper. If Qin Huairu had such a background, I'm afraid her temper would be even worse.

"Come on, come on, Director Xiang, you three gentlemen, I'll give you a toast!"

Xu Damao quickly enlivened the atmosphere.

After a glass of wine, everyone started to talk. Although Xu Damao was not good at drinking, he was good at creating a lively atmosphere at the wine table. This guy didn’t know if it was because he often watched movies, but his knowledge was a bit mixed. He understood There are quite a lot of them, so when it comes to talking, there will be no silence at all.

Xiang Yunduan admired this.

No wonder this guy has trouble coaxing women.

"Old Liu, why don't you speak? Is there something bothering you?" Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong and asked.

As for Yan Bugui next to him, he finally got such an opportunity to take advantage of him, so why not hurry up? With a mouthful of wine and a bite of food, he was eating with great pleasure. When others spoke, he would always say "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah," and mainly agree with him.

"What can I have to worry about!" Liu Haizhong shook his head and said, but his face was indeed not very happy.

Xu Damao probably understood what was going on. Living in the same backyard, he knew Liu Haizhong very well.

Liu Haizhong is unhappy now, what else could be the reason? Isn't it because he is jealous that Xu Damao is the leader?

Liu Haizhong, an official fan, wanted most to be a leader, but his skills were limited and he couldn't understand the twists and turns in the officialdom. He didn't know it yet. Today he found out that a young man like Xu Damao became a leader. Then, Can you feel good?

Xu Damao didn't even need to think about it. Liu Haizhong would definitely go home and spank his children after the drinks were over, and brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu would definitely sleep on their stomachs tonight.

If you can't become an official in the factory, you'll have to live an "official addiction" at home.

"boom!"

Xu Damao was about to give Liu Haizhong another blow, but he never thought that the door to the room was suddenly kicked open from the outside, and the door panel was almost broken.

"Silly Zhu! What the hell are you going to do!"

Seeing the figure standing outside the door, Xu Damao shrank subconsciously at first, but he quickly realized that the three uncles and Xiang Yunduan were all here today. Silly Zhu had hit the muzzle himself and disturbed the dinner. Will the uncle and Xiang Yunduan look good on Silly Zhu?
