Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Li Dongfang saw the state of Ran's father. If he went out and got caught in the wind, he would probably fall headfirst to the side of the road. Ran's mother might not be able to deal with him then, so he said, "Aunt, Uncle drank a lot. Why don't you stay here tonight and go back tomorrow, and bring some food with you."

Ran's mother originally wanted to refuse, but when she heard Li Dongfang say that there was food, she was immediately tempted. After all, the meat on the table really made her greedy, so she turned her head to look at Ran Qiuye.

Ran Qiuye saw her mother's questioning eyes and immediately said shyly: "Mom! What's the matter with us living here?! It's so bad."

"There's nothing wrong with it. I have two beds here anyway. If it doesn't work out, I can stay at my neighbor's house next door. No one is back home recently." Li Dongfang said.

But no matter what Li Dongfang said, Ran Qiuye just refused to stay overnight. There was nothing he could do but let Lin Shu go and send them back.

After watching Ran Qiuye's family get in the car, Li Dongfang wandered towards the yard. When he passed the front yard, he saw Zhao Juan standing at the door looking at him. Normally, Li Dongfang would definitely ignore her, but after what happened that night, Li Dongfang always felt a little unsure about how to deal with it. Now he could only smile and said, "Sister-in-law, are you busy? I'll go home first."

Zhao Juan smiled and nodded, but Li Dongfang always felt that she was sneaking glances at his lower body. He felt cold between his legs and could not help but quicken his pace.

Only when he returned to his room did he take a deep breath.

Li Dongfang was just about to lie down on the bed for a while when he heard someone shouting, "Dongfang, Dongfang."

Li Dongfang looked towards the door and saw Sha Zhu coming in and asked, "Is your teacher Ran gone?"

"Okay, let's go. Do you have anything to do? If nothing, I'll go lie down for a while." Li Dongfang nodded perfunctorily.

Sha Zhu quickly grabbed him and said, "No, there will be a general meeting in the hospital soon, why are you lying down?" As he said that, he saw that there was still some Maotai at the bottom of the bottle on the table, so he grabbed it and drank it all in one gulp.

"Huh! Otherwise why is it a table? It tastes just right!" Sha Zhu squinted his eyes and savored the taste.

Li Dongfang sat down and said, "A general meeting? What's going on? Is there something going on during this non-holiday season?"

"Speaking of this, I'm not willing to participate. If it weren't for the uncle who forced me to participate, I would have gone home long ago." Sha Zhu pinched a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

"What's the matter?" Li Dongfang said, dissatisfied with Sha Zhu's keeping him in suspense.

Sha Zhu then curled his lips and said, "What could it be? It's not just about Xu Damao getting married. Uncle said he would hold a meeting to inform everyone and discuss how to help Xu Damao."

Li Dongfang frowned suddenly. He seemed to be the leader of Xu Damao's leader now, and he had been far away these days. Yet he didn't even invite him personally. It seemed that he didn't take him seriously.

This made Li Dongfang, who already disliked Xu Damao, even more disgusted.

Since you, Xu Damao, don't take me seriously, don't blame me for not letting you feel comfortable.

Several ways to deal with Xu Damao suddenly popped up in Li Dongfang's mind, but he still needed to think about which one to use.

Xu Damao must be made uncomfortable and helpless. The things this guy did in the TV series are really disgusting, and when the wind blows, he will be a bomb that can explode at any time. He must be subdued, just like Jia Zhangshi now, who hides away from me when she sees me.

Seeing that Li Dongfang didn't say anything, Sha Zhu turned his head and looked at him and said, "Dongfang, I just don't like Xu Damao. Can you help me think of a way to ruin his marriage or make him get married unhappy?"

Upon hearing this, Li Dongfang looked at Sha Zhu. He didn't expect that he and Sha Zhu actually wanted to go together. This showed how unpopular Xu Damao was. Thinking of what happened to Lou Xiao'e in the TV series, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that based on this incident, no matter what fate Xu Damao had, it would not be too much.

"Zhu Zi, don't be anxious. Go back and take a look at the situation first, and then we'll discuss it." Li Dongfang didn't explain it clearly.

About twenty minutes later, Li Dongfang and Sha Zhu sat side by side at the door of their house, watching three old men holding large teacups sit down.

As usual, the second uncle Liu Haizhong stood up first and looked around. When he saw Li Dongfang, his eyes lit up and he said to Li Dongfang: "Li Dongfang, why are you sitting there? Come on, sit in the middle."

Li Dongfang knew what Liu Haizhong was thinking, so he waved his hand and said, "Second uncle, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll just listen from the side."

"How can that be? You are the leader." Liu Haizhong still did not give up and persuaded.

Li Dongfang had no interest in this. He just came to take a look, but had no intention of getting involved, let alone Xu Damao's business.

"Second uncle, you'd better hurry up. So many people are waiting for you in the yard." Sha Zhu spoke for Li Dongfang.

Seeing that Li Dongfang really didn't want to sit in the middle, Liu Haizhong announced the start of the general meeting.

Yi Zhonghai next to him didn't react much, but Yan Bugui's eyes rolled around, obviously still thinking about Li Dongfang arranging a job for his son. However, now was definitely not the time to talk about this, so he smiled and nodded at Li Dongfang without saying a word.

"Let the meeting be chaired by a senior official." Whenever the whole institute held a general meeting here, Liu Haizhong basically had nothing to do.

Yi Zhonghai first glanced at Li Dongfang. After all, Li Dongfang was now the deputy director of the steel mill. It was impossible for him to not care about him at all. When he found that Li Dongfang had no intention of speaking, he said, "There is only one thing to be discussed at the meeting today, and that is that Xu Damao from our institute is getting married."

As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard suddenly became buzzing with discussion.

"Xu Damao, don't you come to announce your marriage in person?" someone shouted.

As soon as these words were spoken, other people in the courtyard also echoed them. In this era, people still pay great attention to human relationships. Generally, parties involved in weddings and funerals will visit the deceased in person, which is considered a courtesy. However, Xu Damao's behavior today was a little bit off. It was obvious that he was just giving a notice, which made everyone feel uncomfortable.

"I...I'm busy with work. I have to go to the countryside to show movies early tomorrow morning. I really can't make it in time." Xu Damao quickly came out to make excuses.

After hearing what he said, everyone thought it might be true and decided not to make a fuss about it anymore. After all, it was for work, and people nowadays could understand that.

Li Dongfang saw that Xu Damao was very eloquent and wanted to get rid of the matter with just one sentence. How could that be possible? He must not let him have his way. He coughed and said, "Xu Damao, since you are getting married, why don't you tell the factory? You can also ask for leave."
