Chapter 13 13. Normal life (4)
I really don’t dare to think deeply about this kind of thing. The more I think about it, the more dark it becomes.
Of course, the Lou family is not that miserable now. If they are willing to give up everything in Sijiu City, they can leave at any time if they want.
The old man is very generous about everything. He once said to a friend named Fu: Come and go as you like! You can go out if you want, and you can come back whenever you want.
Therefore, if the Lou family wants to leave at this time, they can do so openly.
But the world is booming, and everyone is going to benefit.
Forty-nine cities have the fruits of Lou Bancheng's hard work for many years, how can he let go?
If you go out now, Lou Bancheng is just a rich man.
In Sijiucheng, it can also be seen from the original drama that as long as he wants to leave, he can find a car at any time and go directly to Tianjin Wei Port.
You know, it was the hot spot at that time, and it was the Forty-Nine City. How much energy it would be to find a car to take the whole family away in the Forty-Nine City at that time.
Xu Damao's heart is not worried about finding ways to facilitate the matter between him and the Lou family.
But worried about how to end it.
With Xu Damao's job, if you don't talk about your background, it would be very easy to find a beautiful girl.
Why bother getting involved in those things?
When Xu Damao stood at the door of his parents' house, his heart was trembling, but he still knocked on the door of Xu's house.
This side is more biased. No wonder the original owner refused to come with his parents.
No wonder Xu's father left Xu Damao alone in the courtyard, but it was a sign of love for his son.
This place is equivalent to the suburbs of Forty-Nine City for the time being. Xu Damao didn't feel lonely in the cinema. Have you ever seen a cinema open in a remote place?
The person who opened the door was a pretty little loli. Whenever a woman is described with words like temperament, it means there is nothing to say about her appearance.
Xu Zhaodi, the younger sister of the Xu family, is like this. She doesn't have a donkey face like Xu Damao. She has a bit of Xu's father's style, with a small oval face, but the nose and eyes on her face are featureless.
That is to say, there is nothing outstanding about it, so I can only say it is handsome. The girl must be one or two years younger than Yu Yu. She wears overalls, which are baggy and has the style of the Korean trend decades later.
Xu Zhaodi's eyes lit up when she saw Xu Damao, but when she saw Xu Damao's hands were empty and the cloth bag was deflated, she couldn't help but pout.
He said listlessly: "Brother, are you here?"
Xu Damao touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. Damn it, I forgot that I have a younger sister.
Xu Damao asked: "Where is mom?"
"Dad asked someone to come back with a message just now, saying that you were coming over. Mom went to buy groceries." Xu Zhaodi answered honestly.
The patriarchal mentality of these days is engraved in the bones of the Chinese people. Not only the parents know it, but the children at home also know it.
Just like Rain Rain later in the original drama, even though her stupid brother wanted to give the entire house to the Jia family, he didn't come back to fight for anything.
In the Xu family at this time, even though Xu Zhaodi was young, she was not sad because of her parents' favoritism. Maybe for her, it has become a habit.
Xu Damao took out a handful of change from his pocket, and except for a few big bills, he put a few bills worth less than one yuan into his sister's hands.
Sure enough, girls need bribes, but Xu Damao only gave him less than two yuan, and Xu Zhaodi's attitude towards her brother was very different.
Xu Zhaodi's voice was as sweet as honey. She welcomed him into the house, stole tea leaves to make tea, and stole cigarettes to give to her brother. It seemed that she would also have her elbows turned outwards in the future.
Xu Zhaodi was doing her homework on the table. Looking at the way the child was scratching his head, he was also a scumbag.
Finally, after scribbling and correcting, I was almost done, and the chattering sounds of a few old women could be heard outside.
It's nothing more than the words that the food is fresh and the meat is good.
The atmosphere here is different from that of the courtyard. Although the Xu family's house is independent, its area is not very large.
If you want to stay in a courtyard house, you have to hide everything you want to buy. But here, it was an upright chat.
The little girl also had sharp ears. When she heard the sounds outside, she whispered, "Mom is back."
The Xu family probably has a lot of thoughts. This can be seen from Xu Zhaodi's attitude towards her brother before and after. When there is no benefit, be cold and indifferent. With benefits, the elder brother is the real brother.
So I don’t gain weight!
Xu's mother, Zhao Hongmei, was also thin.
If you look at his face, he has a rather mean temper.
Of course, whether he is mean or not has nothing to do with Xu Damao, it is his own son.
When Xu Damao called out, Xu's mother acted like that and brought all the snacks, cigarettes, etc. to Xu Damao.
It is estimated that Father Xu has never seen these things.
Xu's mother worked as a servant in a wealthy family, and now those wealthy families no longer dare to hire servants openly. But it is inevitable that sometimes when entertaining guests, cleaning, etc., it is impossible to do it yourself.
These situations are when people like Xu's mother are involved. Because they are used to it, people like Xu's mother know what the rules and scruples are.
The rich people have everything they need, and Xu's mother works quickly and speaks well. Fake friendships naturally form.
Otherwise, why would so many people in the Lou family fall in love with Xu Damao?
Among them, Xu's mother's contribution was greater than that of Xu's father.
You know, for a wealthy family like the Lou family, even if Lou Bancheng likes Xu Damao again, it will be impossible without Lou Tan's nod.
The Lou Tan family is only a girl, so naturally it is impossible for her to marry off her own girl casually. Among them, Xu Damao's own performance, coupled with Xu's mother's deliberate efforts to please, were the biggest contributors to the success of this marriage.
Of course, with things like this now, Xu's mother also felt that she owed her son, and she wanted to leave all the good things to Xu Damao.
Xu Damao was so confused that he couldn't laugh or cry, and said with a smile: "Mom, which business house did you empty out?"
Xu's mother knew her son and saw that he looked relaxed. What we know is that his son must be in a good mood, and he can't help but feel relieved.
So Xu's mother also smiled and said: "This is all what I saved, and it was wasted by your father. I might as well leave it to you to socialize, and maybe I can get an official position in the steel rolling mill."
Xu Damao came here just for this matter. Hearing this, he couldn't help but shake his head deliberately and sighed: "If you want to be an official, you don't have to think about it. This is how it will be in this life."
Xu's mother couldn't help being shocked when she heard this. She looked at her daughter who was handling the dishes in the kitchen and asked in a low voice: "What kind of belief did you get?"
Xu Damao couldn't help but whisper: "I've only figured this out recently. You're just saying that with my status as the son-in-law of the Lou family, no matter how hard I work in the steel rolling mill, people won't dare to promote me?"
"Ah? Why?" Xu's mother said in surprise.
“Mom, you often come and go from wealthy families, why don’t you understand this?
Now the steel rolling mill originally belonged to the Lou family. Do you think Lou Bancheng is showing up in the steel rolling mill now?
He didn't show it, because the factory leaders didn't want him to show up. This means that I will become a leader and be known as Lou Bancheng's son-in-law every day. What do the superiors think of Factory Director Yang and the others? "Xu Damao said slowly.
