After his parents left, Xu Damao heaved a sigh of relief. It was Thursday today, and all the ghosts and monsters in the courtyard were still working. He would have to wait until night to thank them.
Since he had registered his marriage yesterday, Xu Damao had specially applied for a two-day holiday. Today was the last day. He could go to Lou Xiao'e's place first, but he still had to thank his family in the hospital, although they were not good things…
However, the others had helped him yesterday. It was better for the others. He just needed to thank them verbally. If there were children, they would buy some candy and give each of them a few as a token of gratitude.
Don't think that sugar is something worthless. It might be common in the 21st century, but in the 1960s, it was still very precious.
The supply of sugar was limited. A worker might only have two taels of sugar a year, and it was only rewarded to those who performed well and contributed.
Even in the countryside, some women who had just given birth did not have any sugar to supplement their nutrition. They might even be reluctant to eat eggs.
As for the elders in the courtyard…
Xu Damao thought about it and felt that he should meet them. After all, he would still be living in the courtyard in the future, so he would inevitably have to deal with them.
After making his decision, Xu Damao first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a pound of orange candy, then went to each household to thank them.
It was already a pleasant surprise for everyone to receive the candy. After all, they did not really help much. It was just a few words. Although it was not much, it was precious!
After Xu Damao thanked the passers-by's family, he was ready to go to the homes of the few uncles. When he came to the front yard, Xu Damao saw a woman drying something with her back to him.
Xu Damao thought to himself, This should be Third Aunt.
"Third Aunt, are you at home?”
"It's Da Mao! How are you? Are you feeling better?”
"Third Aunt, I'm fine. Thank you for your help yesterday!”
"Sigh, this isn't a problem!"
"Third Aunt, I'll treat you to a meal at my house tonight to thank you.”
Third Aunt's eyes immediately lit up, and she could not hide her smile as she said,"It's good that you're fine. I'll tell your Third Uncle when he comes back.”
"Alright! I'll go tell the other two masters first. You go ahead!"
Third Aunt responded to him warmly with a smile,"Alright, alright, you go first!"
Xu Damao told the second auntie and the first auntie. He thought that he had to find Silly Zhu. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to cook!
Although he had the system and could buy anything, it was troublesome to explain.
According to what he knew now, the courtyard house he was living in was divided into three parts.
The people living in the front yard were the Third Uncle's family and some small investors. The Third Uncle was a teacher of the people and had a good job. It was probably this person…
He's a little calculative and likes to take advantage of others. Moreover, he's a miser. Do you dare to believe that even his son and daughter-in-law have to pay rent for their house?
It was their fault for having low salaries. In this era, most teachers 'salaries were not high. However, they were not too bad. They were just a little petty.
The people living in the middle courtyard were the second uncle's family and some workmates 'families. The second uncle was a grade-7 fitter and worked in the same factory as him. However, the work was not as tiring as his.
A person's words were a little useless. They were simple-minded and well-developed (fat). Forget about that. The main thing was that they wanted to be an official. As long as they could be an official, they would do anything. Their character was extremely bad.
In the backyard, there was only the old man and his family, as well as Silly Zhu and the little widow. No, Jia Ren wasn't dead yet, so he couldn't be considered a widow. However, he would die soon.
First Uncle was a level-eight fitter. His salary was the highest in the hospital. He was a hypocrite and liked to use morality to kidnap others to help others. Under normal circumstances, it was better. When it came to his own retirement, he was extremely selfish.
There was no need to talk about Silly Zhu. The chef in the canteen was simple and honest. He was straightforward and one-track minded. Simply put, he was a hothead. He was very stubborn and preferred widows…
Qin Huiru's family was a little more complicated. Jia Zhangshi was selfish and had taught her to be like his grandmother. Qin Huiru was also very selfish and had a lot of thoughts. She was also good at acting.
Now that he was in an era without the Internet, there were basically no entertainment methods. However, it did not matter. Wasn't it interesting to deal with these people?
Watching them create a scene, then clapping wildly behind them, cheering them on when they were free, adding fuel to the fire, wasn't this a form of entertainment? Moreover, it was a live show. The actors were already in place, and the director was also in place. The only thing missing was when the filming would begin.
……
After Xu Damao thanked the people in the courtyard, he went home and tidied up his clothes and backpack. He was ready to go to Lou Xiao'e's house.
Based on his memory, Xu Damao first changed to a bus. Then, there was really no bus to take, so he could only walk.
On the way, Xu Damao also remembered that there was a deaf old lady in the backyard. She was a sensible person. After all, she had lived for so long. According to ancient times, she had experienced several dynasties.
However, he didn't go to the old lady's place. After all, it was a little sudden. He was only respecting her as an old woman. He would wait until tomorrow night to send some food over.
He was going to meet his wife very soon. His wife's name was Lou Xiao'e. She was born into a wealthy family and was relatively innocent. In the original novel, if Xu Damao hadn't broken her heart and reported her family, she wouldn't have divorced him.
The Lou family was a rich and well-connected family. They also had shares in the Red Star Rolling Mill. They were capitalists and had contributed to Xin. They treated their daughter very well.
Lou Xiao'e was the daughter of a wealthy family. Some of her family upbringing and family style were still relatively strict. She listened to her parents 'arrangements and did not have any big opinions.
He and Lou Xiao'e had only met a few times, and he could count them with both hands.
However, in this era, people believed in starting from the beginning to the end. Some people might have already decided on their lifelong relationship after meeting once or twice. They would be married for a lifetime.
She also met Lou Xiao'e on a blind date. Her mother used to work in the Lou family. After learning that the Lou family wanted to marry their daughter to a working family, Mother Xu took the initiative to ask for a marriage for Xu Damao.
These were not important. What was important was that Father Lou had always looked down on the original Xu Damao. If it was not because Father Lou got the news from his friends that " the working class is the mainstream of the times ", he would not have gotten his turn.
However, since he was here, he would definitely communicate with his wife properly and let her know how right it was to choose him so that his father-in-law could go out and brag!
