In addition to being happy, the leader also praised Xu Damao.
Xu Damao didn't understand at first, but he soon understood.
It was not the next few years yet. The situation had not changed, and he did not speak ill of anyone behind their backs.
Of course, the leader had no reason to hate him.
"Alright, Xu Damao, you can go back.”
The factory manager knew that there would definitely be things to talk about during the next meal, so he took the initiative to send Xu Damao away.
"Go see him off."
The leader sized up Xu Damao with satisfaction and instructed the secretary.
In addition to snacks, the leader also asked the secretary to bring some sugar and southern fruits to Xu Damao.
The only good news this year was that the supply of vegetables and fruits in the capital had finally recovered.
The price was acceptable. Vegetables and ordinary fruits were a few cents per catty. If there were no tickets, they would have to pay an extra one or two cents.
Everyone could afford it, so there wouldn't be any panic buying again.
Basically, the supply of vegetables and fruits for this summer was not a problem.
"Master Xu, you can take all of these.”
The secretary walked Xu Damao to the car with the things in her hands. Her attitude was quite polite.
Since the leader liked him, as his secretary, he had to build a good relationship with Xu Damao.
"Alright, thank you."
Xu Damao took the things into the car. Southern fruits and snacks were quite rare in Beijing.
As for the sugar, it was extremely expensive.
The ice lollies that the steel mill gave to the steelworkers would have a little sugar inside.
After more than an hour's ride, he sent Xu Damao back to the factory and then rode his bicycle back to the courtyard house.
The journey was very smooth. Just as he rode his bicycle into the alley, Xu Damao immediately saw Lou Xiao'e standing in front of the courtyard.
"What's wrong, Young Miss? Why aren't you staying at home? Why are you here in our courtyard house?”
Xu Damao pushed the cart over. These days, he had played movies for Lou Xiao'e's family and had gotten a lot of tickets.
He had been deliberately keeping a distance and would occasionally tell jokes during the movie.
"Why can't I come? I'm just here to take a look.”
Lou Xiao'e was bored at home, so she went to the courtyard to find Xu Damao.
When the movie was playing, Xu Damao's occasional words often brought her a lot of joy.
Her father did not allow her to have any contact with the children of the capitalist families. The people she met were all from ordinary families.
Lou Xiao'e didn't have a good impression of them at all. It was rare for Xu Damao to appear, so she naturally paid attention to him.
"Ahem, how about this? I'll go to your house tomorrow to play a movie. You should go back now.”
Xu Damao didn't want Lou Xiao'e to go to his house, because if that happened, the whole street would know about their relationship.
It was still the early 1960s. It would be better if it was in the middle or late 1960s, but now, as long as they were related, it would be hard to explain.
In the movie, He Yuzhu had no partner before she turned 30. It was because she was too close to Qin Huairu.
She was a girl in her twenties. As long as they found out about this, there would be no further news.
"Are you afraid that I'll eat you? Don't forget to come to my house tomorrow to play a movie.”
Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at Xu Damao, then turned around and left.
Although his words were blunt, he was actually quite understanding.
Knowing that Xu Damao was worried about the impact, he did not insist on entering the courtyard house.
At this moment, the Third Master Yan Bugui came to the front of the courtyard and looked around.
"Damao, aren't you dating Yu Haitang? Why is there another one here?”
Yan Bugui's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw what Lou Xiao'e was wearing.
Currently, dacryl was still produced in small quantities throughout the country. Not only was it expensive, but ordinary people could not buy it at all.
To be able to wear a piece of dharma meant that the woman was either rich or noble.
"Third Uncle, that's the daughter of the director of our rolling mill. She invited me to play a movie at their house tomorrow.”
Xu Damao explained briefly. This matter was indeed quite troublesome.
Everyone was wearing cotton, and you were the only one wearing dharma. Would others be happy?
Just because of Lou Xiao'e's clothes, few people on this street liked her.
"Looking at a person is like looking at a painting.”
"Da Mao, Third Master wants to remind you to be careful when making decisions. I can tell that woman is interested in you at first glance.”
Yan Bugui was experienced, but he couldn't say anything.
In a normal relationship, there was nothing much to say about breaking up and getting back together. A few reminders would do.
"Third Master, I know what I'm doing. Why are you looking for me?”
Xu Damao changed the topic. Yan Bugui was a person who would come for no reason.
She must have something to ask of him.
" Damao, I heard that Old Liu used industrial bonds to exchange for a lot of meat with you. Look, I have quite a lot of industrial bonds in my hands too…"
Yan Bugui pulled Xu Damao into the courtyard and whispered in a corner of the front yard.
Yan Bugui's heart ached when he saw the value of industrial bonds getting lower and lower.
In the past, an industrial voucher could at least be exchanged for two catties of sweet potatoes.
Now, it would take five industrial coupons to exchange for one catty of sweet potatoes.
"No problem. I'll give you half a catty of meat for four industrial coupons. As long as you tell me a day in advance, I guarantee that I'll find a way to get the meat for you the next day.”
Xu Damao knew that Yan Bugui's salary had recently risen to more than 80, and he had eight industrial coupons every month.
However, that was the end of it. 86.50 yuan was the highest price for a primary school teacher in Beijing.
"Aiyo, thank you so much, Third Uncle.”
Yan Bugui was happy that he had solved the issue of the industrial bonds.
No matter what, it was still fresh meat. It was already not bad to be able to exchange one pound of industrial coupons for a month.
"Alright, I'll be leaving then."
Xu Damao pushed the cart to the middle court and happened to bump into Qin Huiru washing clothes.
"Hey, Xu Damao, I heard that you and Yu Haitang are dating.”
Qin Huiru asked casually as Xu Damao pushed his cart past them.
If they really did, his cousin would have no chance. Yu Haitang was now the flower of the rolling mill.
How could Jing Ru, a country bumpkin, compare to others?
"Master Qin, are you talking about Haitang?”
Xu Damao did not want to get too involved with Qin Huairu. Even if he wanted to get to know Sixth Brother, he could not do so through Qin Huairu.
Other than loving children, Qin Huairu also loved money.
"Then it's fine. I wanted to introduce you to someone.”
Qin Huairu felt a little depressed, but she pretended to be fine on the surface.
She had married into the city to enjoy life, but who knew that her husband would die.
Not only was it tiring to replace her husband to work in the factory, but she also had to continue taking care of her mother-in-law at home.
It was not easy to take care of three children.
Fortunately, he had gotten a lot of delicious food by introducing He Yushui to a partner.
He had wanted to introduce Xu Damao to Qin Jingru, but he was too late.
He didn't get any benefits, but Qin Huairu was a smart person. She knew how to establish herself in the Siheyuan.
His words were quite beautiful.
"Master Qin, I'm leaving."
Xu Damao left on his bicycle.
Helping Qin Huiru was nothing to him. After all, her family was indeed in dire straits.
However, it was absolutely impossible for Qin Huairu to trick him.
