"Why are you only here now? The New Year's Eve dinner is getting cold.”
In front of the Lou family's small bungalow, Lou Xiao'e saw Xu Damao pushing a bicycle with big and small bags of gifts. She was happy in her heart, but on the surface, she grumbled a little.
Xu Damao said,"We can't come empty-handed during the New Year. It took some time."”
"At least you know what's good for you."
Lou Xiao'e narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. In the past, she had been annoyed by Mother Xu's insinuations about whether she was pregnant during the New Year. She did not go back to her in-laws 'house during the New Year. Sometimes, she would just rush back to her parents' house.
This caused Xu Damao to have a problem with her family. He did not even come to visit on the first and second day of the new year.
Lou Xiao'e sized him up and found that this guy was clean and had changed into a new set of clothes. He had brought many gifts and seemed to value them very much. She was quite pleased.
"Eh, these shoes…"
Lou Xiao'e's eyes paused. Wasn't this the cotton shoes she had given to the Deaf Old Lady?
Why was it on his feet?
Could it be that the deaf old lady was deliberately trying to bring them back together?
Lou Xiao'e's heart was filled with sweetness as she exhorted,"Don't talk nonsense later. Remember what you promised me. You can't expose yourself today.”
"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Xu Damao said," Don't forget what you promised me!”
"Don't worry, I won't forget!"
As soon as the two of them entered the house, the nanny and sister-in-law at home came up to them and took the big and small bags that Xu Damao brought over. Mother Lou smiled."Da Mao is here!"
"Mom!" Xu Damao laughed. She could have gotten off work earlier today, but something came up and she was delayed for a while. I heard from Ezi that the New Year's Eve dinner is cold. I apologize to you.”
Lou's mother beamed and rebuked,""This child really knows how to talk. Come, come, let's sit down and talk.”
Director Lou looked straight ahead and sat in the main seat with a straight face, as if he didn't care about what was going on outside.
Mother Lou nudged Director Lou and complained,"You didn't even say anything when your son-in-law came to visit.”
Director Lou had always disliked Xu Damao, and he disliked his poor structure and small-scale peasant mindset. He said indifferently,"Why are you here today?"
Xu Damao was stunned. Didn't you ask me to come?
However, when he turned around and saw Lou Xiao'e's guilty expression, he suddenly understood something.
Good heavens, you tricked me over and waited for me here!
"Dad, I'm here to apologize! A few days ago, I had a misunderstanding with Ezi. We quarreled and angered her back to her mother's house. I originally wanted to come over to coax her that day, but there were too many tasks before the new year. I had to go to the countryside to complete the quota task immediately, which delayed it until now.”
Xu Damao explained submissively, his attitude neither servile nor overbearing.
Director Lou was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Damao's attitude to be so sincere. He thought that with his narrow-minded personality, he would say something harsh now. He was prepared to not give Xu Damao any face for the entire night.
This is a little too much for me.
"Well…this couple always quarrels at the head of the bed and makes up at the end of the bed. As parents, it's not convenient for us to get involved. Let's eat first.”
Director Lou was not an unreasonable person. At first, he was angry that his son-in-law bullied his daughter. However, after Xu Damao explained sincerely, he specially came to their house on New Year's Eve. He showed enough sincerity, so he could not continue to put on airs.
Mother Lou specially reheated a few dishes that had been cooled down. The steaming and fragrant New Year's Eve dinner was served on the table.
Xu Damao had a huge appetite and ate a big bowl of rice.
"Mom, your Tan family's dishes are too authentic. It's so delicious that I almost swallowed my tongue."”
"Aiyo! This child is really sweet!" Mother Lou smiled from ear to ear." It's just some ordinary home-cooked dishes. It's not as good as you say."”
"I'm not flattering you. I know that the silly…He Yuzhu in our courtyard has inherited the dishes of the Tan family. His craftsmanship is superb. I've eaten it before, but compared to you, it's far inferior! How can it compare to your authenticity!"
"This child, I don't know what to say. Come, eat more.”
Lou's mother was overjoyed, and the dishes she picked up for Xu Damao almost piled up into a small mountain.
Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao with her mouth agape. She thought to herself, When did this blockhead become so good at talking? In the past, he would always choke on people. There was no ivory in his mouth.
Director Lou asked his sister-in-law to open a bottle of wine and also gave Xu Damao a glass.
"Come to my study later and we can talk.”
Director Lou ate a few mouthfuls and went to the study. Mother Lou said,"Don't worry about him. He's been socializing too much these past two days. He's tired of eating big fish and meat.”
"Alright!"
Xu Damao had a good taste of the authentic Tan family's dishes. The enjoyment of his taste buds was indescribable. If he wanted to eat such delicious food in the future, he would have to go to a special state banquet or a high-end private custom-made one.
After dinner, Xu Damao went to Director Lou's study.
"Sit anywhere."
Director Lou had a worried look on his face as he smoked one cigarette after another.
"Dad, are you worried about the recent trend?”Xu Damao went straight to the point.
"What do you know?"
Director Lou was stunned.
He had originally only wanted to give Xu Damao a beating so that he would treat his daughter better and show off his father-in-law's authority. Who would have thought that Xu Damao would interrupt his rhythm the moment he spoke?
"You know, my job as a projectionist is under the publicity department. I've heard a lot about the documents and speeches that have been passed down from above!”Xu Damao said seriously," The situation has been changing recently. From this year onwards, the direction of the wind will completely change. It's very unfavorable for you!”
Director Lou's heart sank. These words hit the bottom of his heart. Recently, he had a faint feeling that something was wrong. He even had the idea of escaping. However, he was reluctant to part with the foundation that he had worked so hard to build.
"I think you should be prepared to evacuate now, Dad." Xu Damao carefully considered his words.”
"It's not to that extent yet. Let's wait and see.”Director Lou shook his head stubbornly.
Xu Damao sighed in his heart. Director Lou still had a trace of hope. That's right. If he had such a huge fortune, how could he give up just like that?
In this era, no matter where they went, they had to have a letter of recommendation and strictly control their household registration. If they wanted to evacuate, they had to be prepared to escape to Xiangjiang or even overseas. Moreover, they might not be able to return to their hometown for the rest of their lives.
If it wasn't for his god-like perspective, even if his father-in-law had a far-sighted vision, he wouldn't have been able to imagine the horror of the future prairie fire.
Xu Damao's words were not important now. Even if he told him about his future, it would not be able to convince Director Lou.
It was like someone suddenly saying that there would be something called a computer in the future. If he didn't go out and know everything in the world, he would definitely be considered a lunatic.
Xu Damao didn't insist. What he needed to do now was to integrate all the resources he could use to climb up. While protecting himself, he would try his best to protect Lou Xiao'e's family and help them evacuate after the incident.
With Lou Xiao'e's background and Director Lou's background, she would definitely be the 'chief villain' who would be defeated in the future. Even if Xu Damao had the Munitions Factory System, he would not be able to go against the trend.
In the beginning, he divorced Lou Xiao'e and stayed out of the matter. It was also to prepare for the wind in half a year.
(Dear readers, I still have to explain that the divorce with Lou Xiao'e and the subsequent plot arrangements were all written in the outline. It was not impulsive or deliberately made the protagonist cold-blooded. Every character's story had a beginning and an end. Don't just take it as it is. For example, the main character and Factory Manager Li. How could that be considered bootlicking? Couldn't they be dragged into the water and used as tools? Hehe, manual dog head funny face.）
