Scholars in the courtyard

"Xu Damao? Xu Damao?"

"What's wrong with you? I'm asking you something."

The publicity director recommended Xu Damao, wondering in his heart, what did this guy do? After hearing this, he looked like this?

Xu Damao came to his senses and was about to leave here and go home to discuss it with his parents, but when he thought of the director's question just now, he didn't need to think too much and blurted out, "Then Yang Xiaotao is not a good person!"

He didn't need to think too much about smearing Yang Xiaotao, not to mention that Yang Xiaotao was trying to steal a woman from him. Is it worthy of Xu Damao himself not to kick him to death at this time?

Without turning his eyes or blushing, he started talking about things like beating old people, stealing other people's wives, messing around at weddings when they couldn't get her, usually unpopular in the yard, and being very violent.

As long as it was unpleasant, he, Xu Damao, would frame Yang Xiaotao regardless of who was right or wrong.

Anyway, Yang Xiaotao has been involved in these things, and his conscience will not hurt if he talks about it.

The director on the side was stunned after hearing this.

Who is this person? He is simply a worm in society. Such people should sweep the streets.

For such people, staying in the steel rolling mill is simply a black sheep.

As publicity director, he felt it was his duty to weed out this bad apple.

However, when he got the seat, he also knew that some things should not be relied upon, so Xu Damao's words still made him feel a little doubtful.

Xu Damao saw the director's expression, rolled his eyes and said immediately, "Director, if you don't believe it, you can go to the first workshop and ask Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Jia Dongxu. They are also from the same compound as Yang Xiaotao."

"There is also Silly Zhu in the cafeteria, who is also from the same courtyard. If you ask a few people, you will know that Yang Xiaotao is nothing."

"I, Xu Damao, have never seen such a bad person in all my years!"

After hearing this, the publicity director originally thought it was an easy task to complete, but now it is a bit difficult.

However, this also made him feel a little excited, because if this was true, it would mean finding a piece of rat shit in the steel rolling mill and purifying the revolutionary ranks.

I guess the superior leaders will also take note of him.

Taking a few notes in his mind, the publicity director immediately left and walked to a workshop.

Soon, Yi Zhonghai was called out. When the propaganda director asked about Yang Xiaotao, Yi Zhonghai did not answer in a hurry.

As an old fox, he will not let go easily before he figures out the problem.

The propaganda director knew Yi Zhonghai's status in the factory. Although he had no official position or position, he was an eighth-level fitter and had a naturally superior position. Even the factory director couldn't show his composure.

After telling Yang Xiaotao about their blind date, a cold light flashed in Yi Zhonghai's eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Comrade Yang Xiaotao, you lack a sense of the overall situation!"

After saying that, he lowered his head and sighed.

The director next to him understood immediately after hearing this. Some things do not need to be explained clearly.

Yi Zhonghai is gone, and the propaganda director's investigation continues.

Liu Haizhong came out, "What? Yang Xiaotao? That guy can't do it! If you hit someone, you'll hit them hard."

…

Jia Dongxu came out and said, "Yang Xiaotao is just a bastard. He covets my wife and is heartbroken."

…

Outside the cafeteria, Silhu looked sad and angry, "It's so wicked, so bad."

"Look, I still have marks on my back. They were all made by Yang Xiaotao. That's not all. The deaf old lady in our courtyard is such a good person..."

As the publicity director walked around, he felt his eyes bulging and he was so angry.

If he hadn't been unable to take care of the workshop's affairs, he would have rushed to the third workshop and exposed Yang Xiaotao's many bad deeds to the public.

Kick this black sheep out of the revolutionary ranks and make the sky brighter for the steel rolling mill.

The angry director returned to the office, remembered Lou Jingtang's explanation, and immediately picked up a pen and paper to record what he had learned today.

One by one, who was asked and how they were answered are clearly recorded.

Finally, he made no secret of his inner disgust.

"Yang Xiaotao is definitely a worm among the people. Such a person will never be a man worth trusting."

On the other side, Xu Damao, who had returned from leave, looked anxious. Xu's mother was surprised when she saw it, and quickly asked what was going on.

"Mom, that damn little beast, Yang Xiaotao, actually went on a blind date with Lou Xiao'e."

"What?"

Xu's mother was also shocked. Their family had been preparing for this marriage for a long time. As long as she had time, she would visit Lou's mother.

Taking advantage of their previous job as a helper in the Lou family, and the current embarrassing status of the Lou family, the two often work together to make family arrangements and have a relationship.

She originally thought that when everything was done, she would introduce her son to Lou's mother. Based on her understanding of the Lou family's situation, as long as Lou's mother was willing to come forward, Lou's father would basically not object.

When the time comes, with their family's sincerity, the old man's operation, and his son's identity as a projectionist, I don't believe they can win over Lou Xiao'e.

But now, she actually heard that Lou Xiao'e was on a blind date with someone else, and she suddenly felt like the duck had flown away.

Xu's mother held her forehead and quickly said to Xu Damao, "Go find your father quickly."

Xu Damao hurriedly ran out.

Ever since Xu Damao took over his father's job and became a projectionist, Xu's father has basically been idle at home. Except for working part-time in the cinema on weekends, he would hang out in the alleys at other times.

When Xu Damao called Xu's father home who was playing chess in a yard, Xu's father, who knew the situation along the way, had a gloomy face.

"This little beast is really disgusting."

Father Xu said through gritted teeth, but Xu Damao on the side was extremely anxious.

He also went to Lou's house, but just watched from a distance.

The cars that go in and out, the place where he lives, and the food he eats are a hundred times better than his home.

If you can marry Lou Xiao'e, at least you will have nothing to worry about in this life.

You can be as cool as you want.

But now.

"Dad, tell me quickly, what should we do about this?"

"We can't let this beast like Yang Xiaotao succeed, otherwise I, I..."

When Xu Damao said this, he hesitated to continue.

Knowing a son is better than a father, Xu's father waved his hand and calmed down to think.

"You mean Father Lou is asking about Yang Xiaotao?"

"Yeah, the publicity director is asking about it."

"That's good!"

Xu's father looked calm, which also allowed Xu's mother to find her backbone, and immediately stepped forward, "Master, what should we do about this?"

Xu Damao on the side also looked hopeful.

"Since the Lou family is inquiring about the situation, it means that it has not been decided yet, so this matter will turn around."

"I guess the Lou family is also waiting for the results now."

"As long as we publicize Yang Xiaotao's story, Lou Bancheng will definitely not agree with it."

"As for Lou Xiao'e, huh, how far can a young lady raised in a honey pot have a vision? As long as the Lou family agrees, can she still rebel?"

Xu's father hunched his back and looked sinister.

"Yes, the old man is right."

"Da Mao, keep your heart in your stomach and don't think nonsense. Listen to your father on this matter."

Xu's mother reacted, and Xu's father made arrangements.

"First thing, you go to Lou's house for the past two days to find out what's going on. If you ask about Yang Xiaotao, don't say bad things about him, just comment about the inconvenience of a hospital."

Xu's mother didn't understand what it meant, but she recognized her husband's abilities and just had to follow her instructions.

"Da Mao, find a few more familiar people in the factory and make Yang Xiaotao look bad."

"As for the people in the yard, hehe."

Father Xu sneered, and Xu Damao calmed down and stopped panicking.

"This is easy to handle. I'll go find someone right now."

After saying that, he ran out without eating.

"Mother, please take some time to tell the Lou family. Let's go over and play a movie, and we'll just bring Damao to get to know him."

"good!"

"Well, I'll stay at the alley entrance."

"I guess someone from the Lou family will come!"

The three members of the Xu family acted for a common goal at this moment.

Steel rolling mill.

Xu Damao whispered to the three people.

"Brothers, this is three yuan. As long as it is done, we will add five yuan for each person!"

The three people in front of them had smiles on their faces and took the money one by one and put it in their pockets.

"Brother Damao, don't worry. I just want to say a few words. Just wait."

The person in the middle looked honest, but his words were harsh and sharp.

"That's right, if Yang Xiaotao offends Brother Damao, he offends us. This tone must be taken."

Someone said, and Xu Damao smiled, "Okay, then I'll leave it to my brothers."

Watching the three people leaving, Xu Damao did not relax, but walked towards the Publicity Department.

These people are just spreading the word at the bottom, and what he has to do is convey it to the top.

Let the entire steel rolling mill know what kind of person Yang Xiaotao is.

A demon he painted.

But Yang Xiaotao didn't notice this.

At this time, he was already immersed in the longing for a better life in the future.

Even Lou Xiao'e's innocent appearance often appears in my mind, and she is a little dazed when working.

So after getting off work, I hurriedly said a few words to my coworkers and ran outside the factory.

This made Wang Fa and others very surprised. They had never seen him in such a hurry on weekdays.

Yang Xiaotao ran out of the factory, but he was thinking about the situation at home. If he wanted to get married, he had to buy something.

In this era, the emphasis was on three turns and one sound, 36 legs.

After three turns and one ring, he didn't have any.

The 36 legs were also left behind by Lao Yang.

The only thing the family had for sale was an alarm clock. The other items were small things that I exchanged for myself, and they had nothing to do with these.

Thinking about the situation in Lou Xiao'e's family, he would not agree if he married her and endured hardships.

Soon reaching the entrance of the alley where he was last time, Yang Xiaotao lingered for a long time and finally saw the two people who were selling food stamps last time.

Since the last transaction with Yang Xiaotao, Shen Lin and Xiao Li specially prepared many food stamps and commodity stamps.

They had done several transactions in the alley in the past few days, but they were all small and small. Each of them had a lot of money to exchange, so they could only do it in a hurry.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao appeared.

When the three of them met, they all looked happy.

The two of them finally have a big customer, so they don't have to worry about losing their money. You must know that these tickets were collected by several brothers in the compound, and they are just waiting for him to sell the money and go back to share it.

Yang Xiaotao can buy tickets now, which saves him a lot of trouble.

Now he has a monthly salary plus a monthly subsidy for fishing skills, as well as several rewards and losses. All he eats is the exchanged food, which saves a lot of money.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao's accumulated net worth was more than 200, nearly 300, which was considered wealthy compared to most people in this era.

However, sometimes, there is no use having more money, like buying a bicycle, a radio, a sewing machine, or a watch.

All these require votes.

All three were eager and the deal was quickly completed.

Yang Xiaotao spent 70 yuan and bought a bunch of tickets.

There are cloth tickets, meat tickets, cigarette tickets, alcohol tickets, candy tickets, soap tickets, towel tickets, light bulb tickets and so on.

But there was no sound of three turns and one ring.

There is no way around this. This kind of thing is a scarce resource in this era. Even the steel rolling mill only has about ten bicycle tickets a year, which shows how valuable it is.

However, Yang Xiaotao still asked the two people to do something. He had no choice but to rely on these two people.

The three of them separated. Yang Xiaotao put things into the storage space, then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some brown sugar, preparing to eat braised pork tonight to reward himself and prepare for a better life.
