His engineer level had increased.
It had risen to level two.
At that moment, a huge amount of information surged into his mind.
They were all related to science and technology.
Very powerful!
"It's really good. Not only can we receive the radio signal, but the sound is also quite clear.”
Yu Haitang picked up the repaired radio and tried it out.
She was very happy.
"Yes, this radio can still be used for one or two years.”Xu Damao said.
"Brother Xu, thank you so much! If my dad knew, he would be very happy. In the past, he had actually found someone to repair it, but that person might not be skilled enough and could not repair it. Therefore, he did not have any hope and had kept it at home as a collector's item.”Yu Haitang said excitedly.
"Brother Xu, you've helped me so much now. I really have to thank you. Have you been to Quanjude? I'll treat you to roast duck on the weekend or when you're free. The roast duck there is delicious. I love it!”she said.
He invited Xu Damao to eat roast duck.
Quanjude Roast Duck was an old brand that had existed for hundreds of years.
However, Xu Damao had never been there before. He had never eaten the roast duck there.
Nowadays, many people couldn't even afford to eat rice, so how could they eat roast duck? Going to Quanjude to eat roast duck was the most extravagant of luxuries!
"Sure, but I might not be free this weekend.”Xu Damao nodded in agreement.
He had to accompany his wife, Lou Xiao'e, to visit his parents-in-law this weekend.
Of course, he couldn't date a beautiful woman.
However, it was not impossible to do it another day.
He also wanted to have a roast duck.
"Alright, then it's a deal. You've helped me so much, so I'll definitely treat you to roast duck!”Yu Haitang said seriously.
"Brother Xu, put away the radio. I won't disturb you anymore. I don't want to disturb your work.”
With that, she said goodbye and left.
"Old Xu, not bad. You've hooked the hook on the flower of the factory, Haitang.”
The comrade beside him laughed.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I have a wife." Xu Damao said seriously.
" Old Xu, how can I not know you if others don't? You've been interested in Haitang for a long time and wanted to woo her. Now, you've finally succeeded. But don't worry, I'm a tight-lipped person. I'll keep it a secret for you as long as you treat me to a meal at a restaurant.”The colleague said with a smile. His smile was despicable enough.
"Nonsense, that's because your thoughts are impure and you're imagining things. Yu Haitang and I are colleagues, a pure revolutionary friendship!”Xu Damao said seriously.
Not to mention that he had no relationship with Yu Haitang, even if they had some relationship, he, Xu Damao, was a playboy. He couldn't show it to others.
What era was this?
This wasn't the 21st century where you could casually pick up girls.
It was the sixties!
The people here were more conservative and gossipy.
It would not be a good thing if someone else caught hold of it.
Xu Damao was careless, but he was not that stupid!
"I'm sorry, Old Xu. I was just joking with you. Don't take it so seriously.”
Seeing that he seemed to be serious, the colleague hurriedly smiled apologetically.
Xu Damao said," Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. If my wife finds out, you won't be able to explain yourself!"”
"Understood! Understood!" The colleague quickly nodded in agreement.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work.
After work, Xu Damao did not return to the courtyard immediately. Instead, he rode to the market.
There were two large markets near the courtyard house.
Western, Single Market, and Chaoyang Market.
Chaoyang Market was big, but it was far away. It took about an hour to go back and forth by bus, while Xi and Dan were closer. It took about 30 to 40 minutes to go back and forth by bicycle.
Hence, he went to the western market.
They arrived at their destination in about 15 minutes.
This market was not small. There were many people who came to buy vegetables. Many people rode bicycles to buy vegetables.
The market was bustling with noise.
The market was the same as a store. Not only did one need money to buy things, but they also had to pay tickets.
Money and tickets!
Not one less thing!
Xu Damao had opened many treasure chests in the past two days and obtained a lot of tickets and cash.
Those tickets hadn't been used yet.
Now, he could use it to improve his family's life.
Due to the lack of supplies in this era, there were not many choices in the market.
However, the items were really cheap.
Pork was 70 cents per catty.
Eggs were five cents each.
Vegetables were also very cheap.
It was cheap, but the premise was that there had to be tickets. Different dishes needed different tickets.
Without a ticket, you can't take it away no matter how much money you give.
"Give me ten catties of pork!"
Xu Damao walked to a meat stall and said to the butcher.
"Ten catties?"
The master sized him up with a surprised expression.
He couldn't believe that there was actually such a generous person who wanted ten catties of pork at once.
The amount of meat that a person gets in a year is not even this much.
"Yes, ten catties." Xu Damao nodded.
If you want to buy, then buy more. It's not easy to come here, so keep it and eat slowly.
He still had to treat Second Uncle and Third Uncle to a drink at night. Wouldn't he have to eat more meat?
"Then I want ten catties of meat. Have you prepared it?”The master said doubtfully.
In this day and age, anyone who could take out ten catties of meat at once was definitely from a wealthy family!
"Yes, here."
Xu Damao took out the money and tickets and handed them to the driver.
The driver was a little stunned when he saw the two meat tickets.
Other than the unit buying meat, this was the first time he had received such a large amount of meat after selling meat for so long.
"Understood. I'll weigh it for you immediately!"
Seeing the meat ticket, the chef had nothing to doubt and quickly cut the meat.
"Help me pick a fatter one," Xu Damao instructed.”
Nowadays, people didn't have much oil to eat. They liked to eat fat meat. Fat meat was the good thing!
"Alright, I'll try my best to chop you a little fatter.”The master agreed.
Soon, the meat was weighed.
Seeing Xu Damao buy such a big piece of meat, the people who were buying vegetables all looked at him with envy.
In the 1960s, being able to eat meat was definitely a great blessing!
After buying the meat, Xu Damao also bought some other vegetables.
He had wanted to buy some beef since he liked beef very much, but he couldn't find it after searching the entire market.
Therefore, he could only ride his bike and leave.
Courtyard.
Qin Huairu came back from work with a lunchbox.
"Huai Hua, Xiao Dang, come and eat the steamed buns.”After entering the house, she opened the lunch box and called her two daughters to eat.
This was their dinner.
"Mom, are there only steamed buns?" Little Dang looked at the lunchbox and asked with a disappointed expression.
Qin Huairu nodded." That's right. There's only steamed buns. They're steamed buns with white flour."”
Little Dang shook his head." I don't want to eat. I don't want to eat steamed buns. I've been eating steamed buns every day for the past two days. I don't want to eat anymore. I want to eat meat."”
"Mom, when is Uncle He coming back? I want to eat the food in his lunch box. There's meat in it!”Huai Hua blinked her big round eyes and asked curiously.
"It's already good enough for the two little girls to have steamed buns to eat. When the time comes, they won't even have steamed buns to eat and can only eat cornbread.”Jia Zhangshi said angrily.
He grabbed a steamed bun from Qin Huairu's lunchbox and wolfed it down.
Qin Huairu's expression darkened when his youngest daughter, Huai Hua, asked him that question. She fell silent.
She did not know how to answer.
In the past, their family looked forward to He Yuzhu coming home from work and seeing the lunch box he brought back from the kitchen.
No matter what food it was, there would always be some meat inside.
But now, she was in the police station and couldn't come back.
He might even be sentenced later. No matter how long the sentence was, he might not be able to return to the rolling mill when he came out.
If he couldn't return to the rolling mill, he couldn't bring food for his family and continue to help them.
Their good days would come to an end!
"Sigh, it's only been two days and Huai Hua and the others are already thinking about Silly Zhu's lunch box. Now that he's in trouble, don't even think about it in the future.”Jia Zhangshi sighed.
Qin Huairu said in a deep voice," We don't know what Silly Zhu's situation is like now. Can he come out as soon as possible? If he can't, then we can forget about getting his help. I reckon that he can't even protect himself."”
"This is all Xu Damao's fault. He harmed Silly Zhu and our family!”Jia Zhangshi said angrily.
"He made us unable to live a good life, and I won't let him live a good life either. Just wait and see!”
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
