Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

Saying that he believed Qin Jingru, Xu Damao rode his bicycle to the Sixth Hospital after coaxing Qin Jingru home, found an acquaintance in the obstetrics and gynecology department, and retrieved Qin Jingru's examination records.

'After examination, the pregnant woman was pregnant one month ago, and the current condition of the fetus is normal. However, the pregnant woman is on the thin side. It is recommended to supplement nutrition during pregnancy.'

Seeing this line of big characters, Xu Damao couldn't help but jump up and down in the doctor's office.

"Oh my God, I, Xu Damao, finally have a son. Our old Xu family has been passed down for three generations, and we finally have someone to carry on the family line."

The sound was so loud that it almost spread throughout the entire floor, making the doctor very dissatisfied.

"Xu Damao, please keep your voice down. If anyone finds out that I showed the patient's medical records to others, I will be criticized by my superiors."

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Doctor Wang, I'm just too happy."

Xu Damao took several deep breaths, but his mouth still couldn't close. He put down the checklist, reached out and pinched his face several times, and then his mouth returned to normal.

"Okay, you kid, just have some fun." Doctor Wang waved his hand and said, "But don't forget about the movie. My mother is ninety years old this year. She has no other wish.

Invite the folks to watch a movie, everyone is busy, if it delays things, I won’t be done with you."

"Old Wang, just put your heart in your stomach. I, Xu Damao, have always done things safely. After so many years and having earned so much extra money, has anything ever gone wrong?"

Xu Damao is still very confident about going out to watch movies privately.

At the very beginning, Xu Damao needed to take the projector out under the pretext of projector repair and privately show movies to those in need.

Over the years, Xu Damao has become familiar with the people who manage the equipment in the back office of the steel rolling mill. Every time he drops two packs of cigarettes, he can take the projector away at any time.

With this kind of convenience, Xu Damao can be so confident.

On the way back to the courtyard, Xu Damao looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, feeling a little heavy.

The doctor just said that Qin Jingru needs to supplement her nutrition.

It's just that nowadays, even if you have money, you can't buy nutritional products. Things like malted milk, milk powder, etc., all require specific tickets. As a small movie projectionist, Xu Damao can't get tickets at all.

.

Moreover, even with the coupons, Xu Damao still has no money to buy nutritional supplements. Almost all of his money was given to Huang Renfa.

"It seems that we still have to use that money."

Xu Damao hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

He did not return to the courtyard, but rode his bicycle to Changping.

Along the winding street, with twists and turns, Xu Damao came to a small courtyard. The courtyard was an old-fashioned farmyard. The courtyard walls were made of adobe and the house was a two-room thatched cottage. It was no different from the surrounding courtyards.

This is Xu Damao's hometown. Since Xu Damao's father, Xu Jixiang, retired early and gave up his position as projectionist to Xu Damao, he and his wife Xu Huang returned here to live.

Bang, bang, bang, Xu Damao grabbed the nose of the door and knocked lightly, and a vicissitudes of sound came from inside.

"Who?"

"I, Damao, open the door quickly."

When he heard that it was Xu Damao standing outside the door, Xu Jixiang's old face suddenly drooped and he slammed the enamel jar on the table.

"The traitor, what is this traitor doing back here!"

Tea splashed everywhere, and Xu Huang, who was picking vegetables next to her, sighed in her heart when she saw Xu Jixiang was so angry.

Since Xu Jixiang moved back to his hometown in Changping with her, Xu Damao has come back two or three times, always with Lou Xiao'e.

On weekdays, let alone bringing gifts, there is not even a warm word.

Xu Jixiang has endured all this. Who let Xu Damao be his son? He is just such a son. In the future, he will still have to count on Xu Damao to carry on the family lineage of the old Xu family.

However, Xu Damao later divorced Lou Xiao'e, which really made Xu Jixiang intolerable.

As the daughter of Lou Bancheng, Lou Xiaoe married Xu Damao because Xu Huang and Lou Xiaoe's mother Tan Liya were good sisters.

At that time, in order to get Tan Liya to agree to their marriage, Xu Jixiang and Xu Huang made a pledge in front of Tan Liya.

Although the Lou family later fled the capital and Xu Damao's divorce seemed understandable, the thorn had already been buried in Xu Jixiang's heart.

Also, Xu Jixiang was not satisfied with Qin Jingru, the daughter-in-law Xu Damao later married.

How could Qin Jingru, a wild girl from the countryside, compare with a lady like Lou Xiao'e? Moreover, Qin Jingru did not have a city household registration at the time. Even if she gave birth to children in the future, the children would not be able to obtain a city household registration. Isn't this a hindrance?

Qin Jingru also had a stubborn temper. Seeing that Xu Jixiang and Xu Huang had a bad attitude, she did not give them a good look.

During the Spring Festival the year before last, Qin Jingru had a big quarrel with the two of them. Xu Jixiang and Xu Huang were so angry that they didn't even eat, so they rushed back to Changping in the snow and wind, and they never had any contact with Xu Damao again.

"Dad, it's me, I'm Damao, please open the door quickly."

"Dad, open the door quickly, I have something good to tell you."

....

Listening to the rapid knocks and shouts coming from outside, Mrs. Xu Huang sighed, put down the dishes, stood up, and looked at Xu Jixiang: "I said, old man, just go and open the door. Even if Damao behaves badly,

He is also your son, there is no such thing as an overnight feud between father and son."

"He is just a beast and an unfilial son. He is nearly forty years old and he doesn't even have a child. Our Xu family is going to be extinct. I can only treat him as a son." Xu Jixiang thought of Xu Damao's past actions and became angry.

Trembling all over.

"Oh, old man, why are you so stubborn! If you don't drive, I will drive. If the neighbors hear it, they will definitely laugh at us."

Seeing that Xu Jixiang didn't get up, Xu Huang could only walk to the door and opened it.

Seeing that it was Xu Huang who opened the door, Xu Damao couldn't wait to ask: "Mom, where is my father?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I am angry with you in the house!" After Xu Huang let Xu Damao into the house, he stuck his head out and looked outside. When he saw that there were no neighbors watching, he put down

Heart comes.

The people living around are all old neighbors of the Xu family for many years, and some of them are related to each other. On weekdays, Mrs. Xu Huang never speaks ill of Xu Damao in front of her neighbors. On the contrary, she even praises Xu Damao for his filial piety.

"Oh, why does this old man act like a child? Didn't I just scold him a few times last time? He has taken a grudge."

Xu Damao chuckled: "But don't worry, as long as I tell him the happy event this time, he will definitely not be angry again."

With that said, Xu Damao strode into the house.

He first called Xu Jixiang "Dad", then moved a chair, sat in front of Xu Jixiang, and crossed his legs.

"Dad, Jingru is pregnant."

"Xu Damao, you are so unfilial...hiccup..."

Xu Jixiang was about to scold Xu Damao angrily. When he heard the news, he quickly swallowed the second half of his words back into his stomach. His face looked particularly weird between being angry and happy.

Before he could continue to ask questions, Mrs. Xu Huang ran in from outside the house. She was so old that she ran as fast as a young man.

Xu Huang ran to Xu Damao, widened her eyes and asked, "Qin Jingru is really married. Isn't she the one who lied to you again this time?"

"No, I have already gone to the hospital to inquire about it and saw the examination form with my own eyes."

Xu Damao stood up and repeated what Dr. Wang said in detail.

Hearing what the doctor said, Mrs. Xu Huang felt relieved, patted her thigh and said, "It's great, it's really great. Damao is going to have a son, and our Xu family has a successor."

"Come on, come on, Damao, sit down quickly."

At this time, Xu Jixiang's face was also full of smiles. He took Xu Damao's hand and sat down, and said excitedly: "Da Mao, you finally won glory with our old Xu family this time. After a few days, we will

Go back to your hometown secretly and tell your ancestors about this."

"You're not afraid of being seen by others if you do this mess again." Xu Damao frowned.

"What do you know about this child? The old Wang family next door said that if the ancestors find out, they will protect the child in Jingru's belly."

Hearing this, the disapproval on Xu Damao's face disappeared instantly. He sat up straight, stared and said, "Then when should we go back?"

"Hmm..." Xu Jixiang pondered for a moment and said, "In a few days, wait for a rainy day, and we can do this at night without anyone noticing."

"Okay, let me know when the time comes."

Xu Damao nodded.

At this time, Xu Huang, who had been standing beside her excitedly, seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Xu Damao and said, "Da Mao, why are you back? Shouldn't you go home to take care of Jingru now? What if something happens to the child?"

Question, let’s see if I don’t deal with you.”

Before she finished speaking, Xu Jixiang shouted loudly: "Yes, Damao, Jingru is pregnant now. She is our baby bump now. If you don't watch her, why are you coming to me?"

Xu Damao had been waiting for this sentence, stood up, and said embarrassedly: "Father, mother, of course I know this, but the doctor at the hospital said that Jingru's body is relatively weak, and she needs to supplement her nutrition if she wants to give birth smoothly.

"

"It's easy to supplement nutrition. I'll go to Aunt Wang's house next door to borrow two eggs. You can take them back first. After a few days, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some brown sugar."

Although Xu Huang doesn't like Qin Jingru, her physical condition is now related to the inheritance of the Xu family, so Xu Huang cannot be careless.

Xu Jixiang said: "I have saved more than 20 yuan, and I will give it to you later. You go and buy some nutritional supplements for Jingru."

Two eggs, some brown sugar, more than 20 yuan...what the hell is this!

Xu Damao looked disgusted and said with a flat mouth: "The child in Jingru's belly is the eldest son and grandson of our Xu family. Our Xu family has only three generations, so we rely on Jingru to continue our family lineage. How can you be so stingy?"

!”

Xu Jixiang looked helpless: "Da Mao, it's not like you don't know our situation. In order to allow you to take over early, I applied for medical retirement. My pension was more than half less than what other people would normally get for retirement. I only paid for it every month."

I can get ten yuan, but your mother's health is not good. She was admitted to the hospital twice just last month. Although since I am a retired employee, your mother's medical treatment is free, I still have to buy nutritional supplements for your mother.

Well, this twenty yuan is what we dug out from between our teeth."

Hearing this, Xu Damao suddenly became unhappy and waved his hand: "Don't you cry with me here, I don't know you. Back then, my mother and Tan Liya were as close as sisters. When the Lou family escaped, they deliberately left a girl behind.

A large amount of gold and silver treasures have been entrusted to you for safekeeping. Is it interesting for you to leave them here with me and cry about poverty?"

"How did you know?" Xu Huang asked in surprise.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Jixiang glanced sideways at her: "Old woman, what are you talking nonsense about? Where are the gold and silver treasures?"

As he said that, he looked at Xu Damao: "Son, you and Lou Xiao'e were already divorced at that time, and you also reported Lou Bancheng. Why did Lou Bancheng leave his property to us for safekeeping? Don't talk nonsense. If this happens,

If outsiders find out, it will cause trouble."

"Haha, Dad, who am I, Xu Damao? Dare I say it if I'm not sure?" Xu Damao stood up, spread his fingers, and began to calculate: "If I remember correctly, there were five people in the jeep that were delivered to our house at that time.

A big box, two small boxes, and two sacks. If I guessed correctly, the big box should contain silver ingots, the small box should contain small yellow croakers, and the sacks may contain silk and satin."

At this time, Xu Jixiang's face had changed, and Xu Damao said triumphantly: "You thought you were secretive and hid it from everyone, but you didn't expect that that night, I happened to come back to get a change of clothes, and I saw you

Right on."

Seeing that Xu Damao knew everything that the Lou family had hidden, Xu Jixiang sat down on the chair and sighed: "When the Lou family left, they did leave something behind, but it was half the city of Lou."

The things you own do not belong to our Xu family, and they must not be touched."

"You, you, let me tell you what's good about you." Xu Damao felt a little ridiculous about Xu Jixiang's foolish loyalty, and stood up and said: "Lou Bancheng doesn't dare to come back at all now, just because of the things he committed.

, I’m afraid I will never return to the capital again in this life, and I will never be able to get those things.”

"Besides, Lou Bancheng doesn't lack that much, so you might as well take it out and help Jingru replenish her body!"

"No, you must not do it." Xu Jixiang waved his hands repeatedly: "Back then, I promised Lou Bancheng that I would help him take good care of these things. When he comes back, I will return them to him. It's not for nothing.

We take the risk..."

Having said this, Xu Jixiang raised his head and looked at Xu Damao: "Those boxes of small yellow croakers and a few antiques that Lou Xiao'e left for you back then were the rewards given to us by the Lou family. Where are those things? You can just take them out and sell a few of them.

Don’t you have money to buy nutritional supplements for Jingru?”

"I..." Xu Damao was speechless for a moment.

Seeing his look, Xu Jixiang understood something and said coldly: "Did you sell those things long ago?"

"That's why I want to be a leader!"

Xu Damao stared and said: "This time I found a secretary to a big leader. His joints have been cleared and he can become a leader right away."
