After the donation, the entire assembly dispersed. With the generosity of Shazhu and Lou Xiao'e, they actually received nearly 600 yuan. It was almost two years 'worth of Third Uncle's salary.
Xu Damao looked at Lou Xiao'e coming back, and today she had made Silly Zhu obedient, so he was very happy." Brother Cao, I'm so happy today. You haven't eaten dinner yet, right?" She had already agreed to come to her brother's place to drink. Let's do it tonight."
Cao Zhe smiled slightly." Sure, Brother Damao, I can't wait." This must be sister-in-law? She's too beautiful. Brother Da Mao, you're really lucky.”
"Wife, look, Brother Cao is especially good at talking. Moreover, he had a good character. He had only been in the hospital for a few days, and no one in the entire hospital had said anything bad about him!”Xu Damao was grinning from ear to ear.
Lou Xiao'e was also a little curious about Cao Zhe. She had only returned to her parents 'home for a few days. Now that she was back, she had a new neighbor who seemed to be quite capable." You're welcome. Just call me Sister Xiao'e." I just happened to bring a few bottles of good wine from my family and came over to try them.”
……
In the backyard, Xu Damao's house. This Xu Damao's family treat was really different. There were canned beef, canned luncheon meat, preserved eggs, salted duck eggs, and a few steamed buns on the table. The only hot dish that was on fire was the fried peanuts, which Xu Damao had made just now.
Lou Xiao'e really didn't know how to cook!
Thinking about it, it was no wonder. Lou Xiao'e was the daughter of Lou Bancheng's Lou family. To put it bluntly, half of the city belonged to the Lou Family. You can't leave the Lou family in all aspects of life in Beijing. If it wasn't for the special era, even if Lou Xiao'e looked like Zhu Bajie's second aunt, Xu Damao wouldn't be able to climb up to her.
Although the dishes on the table were not good, the wine was very good. That was the legendary collectible grade Moutai. In this era, a bottle of Maotai cost 30 yuan. Third Uncle's family couldn't afford it even if they didn't eat or drink for a month.
Xu Damao was eating and drinking, and he was talking to Cao Zhe about how stupid Zhu was. How did the two of them grow up fighting? The grudges between the two of them could be discussed for three days and three nights. Xu Damao was extremely happy that he could cure Silly Zhu today. In a short while, he was drunk to the point of forgetting himself.
Xu Damao was not well-educated, and he was full of the aura of a marketplace. He talked as he ate, spewing all kinds of rubbish everywhere. He pointed his chopsticks at people, spat, and even habitually took off his shoes and stepped on the stool as if he was on a brick bed. Lou Xiao'e watched from the side, frowning slightly but not saying a word.
Xu Damao's alcohol tolerance was really not that good. After downing half a bottle, Xu Damao's face was already as red as a monkey's butt. Pulling Cao Zhe along, he didn't just scold Silly Zhu, he even scolded the few old men.
"Let's say 'First Grandmaster', then' Second Grandmaster'. Let me tell you, this second uncle is even worse. Are you wondering why Second Master is on your side at the conference tonight? Do you think Second Uncle is the one being reasonable? Wrong! Do you know what Second Uncle did during the day? Second Uncle went to the street office to investigate you!”
After drinking another glass of wine, Xu Damao said," Second Uncle is a fan of government officials. He didn't even graduate from primary school and still racked his brains every day to become an official. Does he know how to write the word official? He went to the street office to investigate you and asked Director Huang where you were transferred from and what position you held in the army. Guess what? Director Huang ignored him. She was really annoyed by his questions, so she told him that you, Cao Zhe, had been transferred back from the secret army. If it wasn't for the consideration of many parties, I wouldn't have let you come back if I couldn't let the meritorious service disappear. All information about you in the army is a national secret! He couldn't ask, he couldn't ask. She, Director Huang, was not of a high enough rank, so she had no idea.”
"Do you think Second Master is done for? That old fellow was still dilly-dallying, insisting on getting something out of him. But our Department Director Huang is also quite capable. Guess what Director Huang said?" Xu Damao almost climbed onto the table, but he still said excitedly,"Director Huang, tell him not to provoke you." Just tell him one thing, that is, when you return to the rolling mill, you will immediately be the chief of the security department. Section Chief, Second Uncle, that old fellow, dreams of becoming a team leader. Has he ever seen Section Chief? But now that I'm back, I'll do whatever you say. Second Uncle won't even dare to fart…"
After three rounds of drinking, Xu Damao still wanted to say something to Cao Zhe, but he was already drunk and unconscious on the table. He was even mumbling about section chief.
Cao Zhe was also a little tipsy. Seeing Xu Damao unconscious, he stood up and said," Sister Xiao'e, it's getting late. I should go."”
"Don't be busy. Drink a few cups with your sister Xiao'e.”Lou Xiao'e removed the plates and refilled the plate with peanuts. She took a small wine cup and poured herself a glass.
"Sister Xiao'e, you two are really interesting. You're taking turns fighting over a drink. Must you get me drunk today?”Cao Zhe laughed.
"I really want to get you drunk. Only people who drink will tell the truth.”Lou Xiao'e wasn't shy at all." Cao Zhe, you're not an ordinary person, right?”
"How am I special? Wasn't it just two eyes and one nose?”
Lou Xiao'e shook her head." No, although I only saw you tonight, I've been observing you outside the door for a long time. Your words and actions are not ordinary. You must be someone who has studied. You're different from the people in the courtyard. You have a unique temperament. You know table manners very well when you eat. Ordinary families can't nurture someone like you.”
Cao Zhe smiled,"Sister Xiao'e is also very impressive." Being educated and reasonable was not empty talk. I've been in the hospital for a few days. Sister Xiao'e is the most elegant person I've ever seen. " It's a pity to marry Xu Damao…" As Cao Zhe spoke, he reeked of alcohol. He quickly turned his head and covered his mouth with his hand before burping.
"Sorry, I really drank a little too much today. Gotta go, gotta go." Cao Zhe said.
Lou Xiao'e saw everything and her guess became more certain. How many people in the courtyard knew that burping at the dining table was a very rude behavior. Even if they couldn't help it, they should cover their mouths with their hands? A person's quality could not be hidden. The people in the courtyard were either village girls who had married into the city or factory workers. Such a person was simple and honest. However, one really couldn't expect people who didn't even have an average education in primary school to have such high quality.
The young masters and young ladies of noble families were different from the punks and bumpkins in the market and countryside. A person's etiquette and cultivation were hidden in their blood and could not be hidden at all. The wealthy daughter of a capitalist had married into such a courtyard house. Although Lou Xiao'e didn't say anything, she felt lonely in her heart. It was like a lone wolf that had fallen into a den of husks. Until today, after seeing Cao Zhe, Lou Xiao'e felt as if she had met her own kind.
