Siheyuan: First-class Merit at the Start

Xu Damao walked into the house while thinking about the problem, but he couldn't remember where he had heard of Hong'an.

Even after returning to the house, he continued to reminisce without saying a word despite Qin Jingru's concern.

Seeing that Xu Damao was deep in thought, Qin Jingru stopped asking him about his well-being.

"Da Mao, you must be hungry! I'll go get some food from the pot and we'll be ready to eat soon!"

pot?

Qin Jingru's unintentional words suddenly opened Xu Damao's mind.

This reminded him of an incident that happened when he was on his way back to the city after showing a movie in the countryside.

Although he had seen the big pot cover countless times, Xu Damao still couldn't help but feel curious about it.

So on the way back to the city one day, he suddenly had an idea and wanted to see what was under the pot lid.

But as he pushed his bike towards the pot lid.

When you're ready to find out.

Several kilometers away from the pot cover, several guns were pointed at his head.

"What?"

There were four guns pointed at his head. Xu Damao swallowed and said, "Comrade, don't be nervous. I'm the projectionist of the Red Star Steel Mill. I'll be back in the city after showing the movie today."

"Then how did you get here?"

I heard Xu Damao say that he was a projectionist at the Red Star Steel Mill.

The tone of several soldiers also softened a little.

"Well, I heard from a fellow villager that there is a small path over here, so I thought of taking a shortcut."

"Do you have any ID?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Hearing the other party asking him for his ID, Xu Xu Damao no longer cared about the bicycle he was pushing, and hurriedly took out his ID from the steel rolling mill.

One of the soldiers was quick enough to catch the bicycle that was about to fall to the ground.

After checking repeatedly and making sure there was no problem, they put down their guns.

One of them handed the documents back to Xu Damao and said, "You probably took the wrong road. There is no shortcut back to the city. Come with me! I'll take you to the main road."

Then, Xu Damao followed the silent soldiers and walked in another direction.

After he took a few steps, he looked back and found that the other three soldiers behind him had disappeared.

"Comrade, what is this place?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

Xu Damao was so disappointed that he could only shut up.

After following the soldiers for about half an hour, Xu Damao finally arrived at a main road.

"Okay, just keep going along this road and you'll be back in the city. Don't run around next time. This place is under military control now. It's very dangerous."

"I know, I know. Thank you, comrade."

After sending Xu Damao there, the soldier turned around and walked back.

And when the soldier turned around, Xu Damao did inadvertently see the words "Hong'an" written on the soldier's shoulder strap.

After returning to the courtyard, Xu Damao guessed that the place was probably some remarkable place because he thought about what the soldier said at that time. However, as he was a man of few words, he never told anyone about what happened there.

Over time, Xu Damao forgot about this matter.

If Li Polu hadn't mentioned Hong'an again today, Xu Damao would probably have forgotten about it completely.

However, after recalling it, Xu Damao suddenly felt in a good mood.

He had previously guessed that someone like Li Polu would never become an unemployed vagrant.

But I never thought that Li Bolu would actually work in a place where there are departments stationed.

He couldn't help but start to think about the weight of what Li Polu had said before, as well as the gains and losses of his resignation from the steel mill to go to Hong'an.

After all, from what he heard from Li Polu's implicit meaning, he probably had a certain say in that big pot lid.

Moreover, there are troops stationed there. I think no matter how chaotic the situation is outside, it won't spread to inside.

No wonder Li Bolu said that if he wanted to live a stable life, he could go there.

As for Xu Damao, the reason why he tried so hard to please his superiors and joined the Revolutionary Committee of the steel rolling mill was not just to protect himself in this storm?

For him, what good options are there for protecting himself? Since he can't beat them, isn't the only option left to him to join them?

Sitting and waiting for death has never been an option for him.

Just when Xu Damao was still weighing the pros and cons, Liu Haizhong suddenly pushed the door open with a dark face.

After making up his mind, Xu Damao looked at his wife who seemed like a lucky man, and couldn't help but kiss her like the wife in his heart.

Then, under Qin Jingru's questioning, he couldn't help but brag about the stories of Li Polu and Hong'an.

Qin Jingru was stunned after hearing this!

Oh, no! Didn't you say before that he was a gigolo who depended on his wife for support?

Why did you change your mind so suddenly?

If you say so, I think I can also be his wife!

Is there ever a time when you don’t know how to do laundry, cook, and serve people?

Just when Qin Jingru was about to say something, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Xu Damao, I have something for you to do. Once you do it, I will forgive you for contradicting me two days ago!"

As soon as Liu Haizhong entered the room, the first thing he said was a sentence full of energy, as if he was very generous.

Then Liu Haizhong saw Xu Damao sitting at the dining table, with a meat dish, two vegetables, and even half a bottle of wine on the table. He didn't hesitate and walked over to his seat and sat down.

Just pick up the chopsticks and start showing off!

Xu Damao was speechless when he looked at Liu Haizhong who treated his home as his own.

Ever since Liu Haizhong got in touch with the director of the Revolutionary Committee, he has become more and more arrogant day by day.

Now people can come uninvited and eat.

If this had happened in the past, Xu Damao would have had to swallow his anger.

After all, he got the position of team leader thanks to Liu Haizhong's connections.

I don’t know what kind of magic potion the new director of the steel rolling mill has drunk, that he would treat a fool like Liu Haizhong as his confidant!

"That kid Li Polu is really too arrogant! Today I saw him doing nothing all day, so I decided to call him over and give him some advice.

Who knew that not only would he not appreciate it, but he would even dare to hit me in front of so many people.

His behavior is so abominable that it simply destroys the title of the song.

They must be properly educated!"

After hearing what Liu Haizhong said, Xu Damao was speechless and went home speechless.

What a mess you are talking about. Don't you just want to make trouble for Li Polu?

He even said something that ruined the song title.

But after thinking about it, he felt relieved. After all, this person is Liu Haizhong! Isn't he just making trouble outside by using the four words "ruining song titles"?

But this time it was clearly the wrong target.

Let's not talk about Li Polu's identity. Just the thing that Li Polu agreed to, that's his future!

How could Xu Damao allow Liu Haizhong to ruin his future like this?

Not only does Xu Damao not allow Liu Haizhong to mess with Li Polu, he even feels that his sincerity is not enough.

I'm about to become Li Polu's subordinate, so how can I not have a gift for the meeting?
