When Lin Xiangdong and his wife walked out of the house together, they saw the third uncle and his family also going to the backyard to check.

When the couple arrived, a group of people had already blocked the door of Xu Damao's house. Among them, the hard-of-hearing old woman, leaning on a cane, started to quarrel with Xu Damao.

"What happened, Auntie?" Lou Xiao'e approached and asked.

"The news that the idiot instructed Bang Geng to ask Xu Damao for a New Year's gift has now spread. Outsiders blame the idiot instead of Xu Damao. Sha Zhu is sure that it was Xu Damao who told the outside world about it." A woman explained succinctly.

Lin Xiangdong also listened to her description.

Has this matter spread yet?

The outside world was talking about Sha Zhu's inappropriate behavior, but no one mentioned Xu Damao's name. If the matter was leaked by Xu Damao, it would probably be a rumor like "Xu Damao's Secret", but it cannot be confirmed that he did it. Of course, the possibility that it was not done by Xu Damao cannot be ruled out. Obviously, both Yi Zhonghai and the old lady believed that the news was leaked from Xu Damao.

If this matter was really not revealed by Xu Damao, then he is indeed quite innocent.

In the plot of "Grudges in the Courtyard" - "Debt repayments should be fair", Lou Xiao'e showed pity to Sha Zhu, but Lin Xiangdong had no sympathy for Sha Zhu.

In the end, it was really too much for Shazhu to induce Gunzi to go to Xu Damao's house to ask for a New Year's red envelope and instigate him to tease Xu Damao that he couldn't get married if the money was too little or not enough. In the TV series, it was precisely because Xu Damao had no children that he was mocked by Gunzi, who was assigned by Shazhu, for not being able to hold a child.

Even though Gunzi did a lot of bad things, like stealing chickens or soy sauce from the factory, he was still a good kid in Shazhu's eyes, which was problematic in itself. People tend to spread rumors, and because Shazhu was too close to Qin Jingru, it also damaged his reputation.

Now, the scandal caused by Sha Zhu has spread outside, which undoubtedly tarnished his reputation. It is not surprising that Qin Jingru and Yi Zhonghai may feel happy in private - the worse Sha Zhu's reputation is, the harder it is to find a partner.

"Damn you! How dare you ruin the reputation of my precious grandson? I'll kill you!" The old lady angrily waved the cane in her hand and tried to hit Xu Damao.

Xu Damao dodged the old lady's cane flexibly: "It's really unfair!" Xu Damao shouted helplessly. He knew in his heart that he didn't leak these things. After all, it would not be good for him to spread such things. Unfortunately, whether it was Sha Zhu or the old lady Yi Zhonghai, as well as other neighbors, including Liu Hai, Yan Bogui and old lady Jia, they all believed that Xu Damao must have done it deliberately to slander Sha Zhu.

Carefully observing Xu Damao's reaction, Lin Xiangdong wondered if it might not be Xu Damao's doing. "There are all kinds of people in this hospital, who knows who is behind this?" Lin Xiangdong pondered. However, it was not easy to delve into this incident, and he personally felt that it was not worth wasting too much energy.

To be honest, the old lady's movements were really quick and agile, and the cane in her hand was quite powerful. If she had really hit Xu Damao, it would have made him feel uncomfortable for a while.

Fortunately, Liu Hai intervened in time at this juncture and firmly grasped the old lady, which gave Xu Damao a brief respite.

"Uncle Liu, I haven't told anyone about this. I learned my lesson after attending that public criticism meeting. Even if I don't like Sha Zhu, I will never do anything to damage his reputation."

He added: "Besides, I kicked that kid at that time, so I can't escape the blame!"

He went on to say: "Since someone leaked the news, there must be clues left behind, so we need to investigate thoroughly and find out the truth." [Too much sensitive content, unable to continue to output]

Not only did Xu Damao say this to Liu Haizhong, but everyone present also heard his voice.

At this time, Yan Bugui expressed his opinion, "I think what Xu Damao said makes some sense."

...

Soon, it was the early morning of the second day of the Chinese New Year.

After enjoying breakfast at home, Lin Xiangdong and his wife set out to visit relatives and friends to wish them a happy new year.

They would visit Lin Xiangdong's colleagues in the factory, Lou Xiaoe's colleagues, relatives, superiors, etc. to show their respect.

Lin Xiangdong has no relatives in this world, but Lou Xiao'e still has some relatives to visit.

The couple visited several relatives throughout the morning and then came to the home of Director Li Huaide.

Director Li, also known as Li Huaide, is the logistics director of the rolling mill and a very influential leader.

It turns out that in the plot, even when the factory manager, Director Yang, was in crisis and his supporters moved south, Li Huaide was still able to thrive; later he also devoted himself to the business world and became a wealthy businessman.

Theoretically speaking, Li Huaide offended many people but he still developed better and better; it can be seen that he has certain abilities and skills.

Through observation, Lin Xiangdong discovered that Li Huaide's ability was even better than that of the previous factory director, especially in winning people's hearts.

Since Li Huaide gave him RMB 400 and several industrial coupons, Lin Xiangdong decided to come and celebrate the New Year with him.

When the two of them arrived at Director Li's home to pay a visit, Li Huaide showed a very happy attitude.

They had lunch at Li Huaide's house, and Lin Xiangdong also had a few drinks with the host.

In fact, Li Huaide treats different people differently; if he was just a movie projectionist, he might not have received such high attention; however, as Lou Zhenhua's son-in-law, the significance of this is extraordinary.

Mrs. Li is short, fat and has an average appearance, but the power behind her cannot be ignored.

I have long known that Director Li’s wife’s father is a big shot.

During the banquet, while enjoying delicious food and fine wine, Lin Xiangdong also complimented Li Huaide many times.

After leaving Director Li's house, Lin Xiangdong and Lou Xiao'e visited several relatives and friends.

After visiting a relative and wishing him New Year's greetings, Lou Xiao'e wanted to return home immediately as it was getting late, and would continue visiting the rest of the relatives and friends tomorrow.

"How about we visit my former master's family again?" Lin Xiangdong suggested.

"Your master?" Lou Xiao'e was quite curious about this.

"A fitter in the factory, his last name is Guo." Lin Xiangdong answered with a smile.

The system had created an identity for Lin Xiangdong, who had just traveled to this world - the apprentice of Guo Dapiezi, which he found very ridiculous.

After Lin became a broadcaster, he and Guo Dapiezi no longer had any contact.

It would seem inappropriate not to send New Year's greetings to this former mentor.

No matter what, I will go to visit him this time and wish him a happy new year. I won’t have such concerns anymore.

Furthermore, there was a debt voucher from Guo Dapiezi in the space that Lin Xiangdong carried with him.

The amount was not large, only about ten yuan plus a few kilograms of food coupons; this showed that Guo Dapiezi had entered this courtyard before.

The reason is that the system is connected to this courtyard, and anyone who has entered the courtyard is on the selection list.

However, Guo Dapiezi has never lived in the courtyard and has only entered it a few times, so the possibility of winning is relatively low.

What’s interesting is that Jia Dongxu, a character who has passed away, is among the candidates.

In addition, people like He Daqing who lives in other counties and cities, or Guangqi who works in a foreign place are also included in the candidate list.

The more Lin Xiangdong learned about the "debt collection system", the more he realized how powerful it was.

"Even though you have become a projectionist, you should still follow etiquette and wish your former master the best in the new year," Lou Xiao'e nodded.

……

Guo Dapiezi lived in the area of ​​Dong 42nd Street, so Lin Xiangdong and Lou Xiaoe drove there.

The Lou family owns a car, which brings a lot of convenience to travel.

Especially during the Spring Festival, there are few trams on the streets.

Even though the Lou family tried their best to keep a low profile, owning a car in this era still attracted attention.

Many people are keeping a close eye on the Lou family.

Compared to Lin Xiangdong's house, Guo Dapiezi's house is also made up of two tiled houses, but the area is much smaller. One is about 31 square meters, and the other is only 13 square meters; together they are less than 50 square meters. Even so, it is a relatively spacious space for the Guo family.

In Beijing, many people lived in smaller theaters.

Guo Dapiezi's father passed away a few years ago; his mother, wife and two daughters are still alive.

Guo Dapiezi was surprised to see Lin Xiangdong coming to wish him a happy new year; he never thought that Lin would come specially to pay New Year's greetings.

After all, Guo had not taught Lin much technology and had not treated him very kindly before.

"Master, congratulations on your prosperity!" Lin Xiangdong smiled.

Guo Dapiezi showed excitement and warmly entertained Lin and his wife. His wife also hurriedly poured tea to welcome them.

After a short break and a sip of tea, just as Lin was about to leave, Guo Dapiaozi insisted on inviting them to have dinner together. Lin Xiangdong couldn't refuse the invitation and finally decided to stay.

Afterwards, Guo took out his own collection of fine wine and hurried out again. When he returned, he was holding pork chops and fresh fish.

Touching the IOU in his pocket, Lin Xiangdong felt a little bit reluctant.

But you have to know that Guo himself is by no means a good person.

Lin Xiangdong was able to become a projectionist and marry Lou Zhenhua's daughter, otherwise Guo would not have treated him so attentively.

The gifts presented during this visit are worth several dollars in themselves.

Seeing Lin Xiangdong's salute, Guo Dapiezi was quite surprised.

The two daughters were even more delighted when they saw the pork chops and fish.

Then Guo's wife started cooking.

At the banquet, Lin Xiangdong and Guo Dapiezi had already started tasting the wine.

After a while, the dishes came out one after another.

"My skills are not as good as Shazhu's, so please bear with me." said Guo Dapiezi.

And Lin also treated it humbly.

As he said, Guo Dapiezi's wife's cooking skills were not as good as Shazhu's, but they were not bad either. There was no shortage of delicacies such as sweet and sour pork ribs, braised carp, pickled cabbage, peanuts and soy milk soup.
