A week later, the Red Star Rolling Mill gradually began to resume work.
When Xu Damao pushed his bicycle to Qin Huairu's house, he happened to see Little Dang and Huai Hua feeding the rabbit with rotten cabbage leaves. He went up and gave each of them a White Rabbit Creamy Candy.
The two little fellows 'eyes lit up. They took the milk candy and put it into their mouths, eating happily.
Of course, as usual, no one said thank you.
Xu Damao was unhappy and called them two ingrates. If he had known earlier, he would have just thrown one and continued to create class conflicts.
"Little Dang, Huai Hua, is your mother home?”
Little Dang shook his head." Mommy sent Brother to school. Only Grandma is at home now."”
Very good, this was the effect he wanted!
Xu Damao quickly returned to his room and took ten catties of noodles. He went straight to Qin Huairu's house and knocked on the door. Jia Zhangshi, who was wearing presbyopic glasses and sewing the soles of her shoes, was stunned when she saw Xu Damao."Xu Damao? What are you doing here?"
"Is Qin Huairu at home?" Xu Damao asked despite knowing the answer.”
Jia Zhang-shi's face darkened and she said warily,""Why are you looking for her?"
This pious old woman had a very dark mind. Anyone who saw her would think that the other party was coveting his daughter-in-law. She was counting on Qin Huiru to retire and would never let Qin Huiru get together with another man. Otherwise, how could she, the mother of her ex-husband, have a foothold?
Even a decent person like the First Uncle would be suspected by her if he gave her some fine noodles. She mocked him for a long time.
Xu Damao didn't waste any words and put the ten catties of noodles on the table. Jia Zhangshi looked at it carefully. The vigilance and stiffness on her face disappeared and was replaced by a kind look.
"Aiya, Damao, tell me, what are you doing?”
This fellow was a typical snob. In the original novel, he had asked Silly Zhu to give him an extra three yuan a month to settle the matter. To put it bluntly, it was for his own benefit. He had immediately agreed to the matter with Qin Huairu without taking the money.
"Didn't I borrow five yuan from Qin Huairu a few days ago? It just so happens that I have a lot of money now. Including the interest, it's a total of six yuan. These 10 catties of noodles would be a thank you gift.”
Xu Damao slammed the six yuan on the table. Jia Zhangshi's eyes were wide open and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"Aiyo, you're welcome! When Huai Ru comes back, I'll tell her.”
Jia Zhang-shi smiled so widely that the wrinkles on her fat face bloomed. She wanted to grab the money with one hand and put it in her pocket.
Xu Damao held down the six yuan and faced Jia Zhangshi's stunned gaze. He spread his hands and said,""Where's the receipt?"
"Look at my brain. Wait a moment, I'll get it for you.”
Jia Zhang-shi hurriedly smiled apologetically. She turned around and rummaged through the cabinets with skills that did not match her age. Finally, she found the receipt in the small metal box where Qin Huairu hid important items and handed it to Xu Damao.
"Yes, it's confirmed."
Xu Damao casually put it beside the fire and burned it, then generously pushed the six yuan in front of Jia Zhangshi. Jia Zhangshi's beady eyes narrowed.
"Alright, tell Qin Huairu when the time comes.”
After saying that, she turned around and left. Jia Zhang-shi enthusiastically helped him lift the curtain, her tone was called fawning.
Xu Damao had a meaningful smile on his face. He thought to himself, I don't believe you can hold it in.
Jia Zhangshi also had a big problem, which was her addiction to painkillers. She had been suffering from minor illnesses in her old age, but in order to save money, she had been buying painkillers to resist them. For more than ten years, even if she was healthy, she could not help but spend money to buy them.
Up until now, the three yuan Qin Huairu gave her every month was almost all used to buy painkillers.
The restrictions and lack of research on painkillers in this era had led to many patients relying on painkillers.
The severity of this was not inferior to smoking before the war.
Xu Damao had calculated the dates. The factory had given them their salaries during the new year, and there were still five to six days before the next salary payment. It was precisely at this time that the Jia Zhangshi was having the hardest time. They were hoping that Qin Huiru would quickly give them her salary.
Now that Xu Damao had given her a huge sum of six yuan, how could Jia Zhangshi hold back?
Sure enough, in less than five minutes, Jia Zhangshi sneakily went straight to the hospital.
Half an hour later, Xu Damao successfully got the receipt of Jia Zhangshi's prescription from the trash can in the corner of the hospital. He couldn't help but click his tongue."I underestimated this old hag and directly prescribed medicine for six yuan.”
His original plan was to retaliate against Qin Huairu's scheme and get the Jia Zhang-shi to spend a few more yuan to make their relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law more complicated.
He did not expect Jia Zhangshi to be so ruthless as to take the six yuan for herself. If he took the three yuan Qin Huairu gave him next month, there would be a good show to watch when the truth was revealed.
He had to keep this receipt in case Jia Zhangshi would bite back and put it into his space. Only then did he ride his bike to the rolling mill unhurriedly.
As soon as he arrived at the publicity department, the staff in the confidential room shouted,"Xu Damao, the factory manager just called and asked you to go over!”
"Got it!"
Xu Damao put his bag on the desk, went to the director's office, and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
What surprised him was that He Yuzhu was also there.
"You came at the right time. Pack up the projector equipment and come with me to the leader's house. He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, follow me in ten minutes."”Factory Manager Yang gave a simple instruction.
Xu Damao's heart skipped a beat. He was most likely going to meet the leader.
This big leader was He Yuzhu's future benefactor, a rare wise man and guide in the film. Even after stepping down, he had the power to save Lou Xiao'e's family with a phone call.
He could not repeat the mistakes of his predecessor and miss such an opportunity.
After packing up, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao got into Manager Yang's car. Soon, they arrived at a heavily guarded military compound. They were accompanied by military jeeps. Just this lineup alone made He Yuzhu, who was usually talkative, unable to help but keep quiet.
Soon, the jeep stopped and arrived at the residence of the leader. There was a tall and thin man wearing glasses waiting there.
"Secretary Chen, let me introduce you to Xu Damao, the projectionist, and He Yuzhu, the chef!”Factory Manager Yang was also respectful to Secretary Chen. After all, he was a third-grade official in front of the prime minister.
Secretary Chen was a man of few words. He nodded and said,"You, go to the reception room and prepare the screening equipment. You go to the kitchen and prepare the food during the screening.”
Secretary Chen quickly assigned the tasks. He Yuzhu was not good at dealing with people in the government, so he was led to the kitchen obediently. Xu Damao knew that Secretary Chen was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He just did not like to talk much, so he only said briefly.
"No problem, I'll listen to your arrangements."
