The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 168, drinking

When the second uncle Liu Haizhong was angrily competing with the steamed buns, the second aunt seemed to have thought of something, so she changed the subject and said to the second uncle:

"As the head of the family, Li Weiguo's promotion to the deputy section chief may be good for us."

The second uncle Liu Haizhong was startled, but he didn't react immediately: "Huh? What do you mean?"

The second aunt smiled and asked: "The head of the family, tell me, now that Li Weiguo is a deputy department-level cadre, does he have the right to promote others?"

"It should. So what?" The second uncle Liu Haizhong didn't know why.

The second aunt saw that the second uncle hadn't turned the corner yet, so she analyzed it for him: "The boss, since Li Wei has the right to promote others, how about asking him to recommend you to the leaders of your workshop?
Isn't your workshop currently selecting a production team leader? This Li Weiguo is a deputy section-level cadre, similar to the level of your workshop director and deputy director. A few nice words of help are always useful. "

Liu Haizhong rubbed his head, pondered for a while, hey. It really makes sense.

With Li Weiguo's relationship, maybe this thing will really happen. A deputy section chief helped to recommend it. Why should the workshop director give a three-pointer?

The second uncle Liu Haizhong immediately made up his mind as soon as he clapped his hands.

"Yes, that makes sense. I'll do as you say. Old lady, go and get the bottle of Red Star I bought a few days ago. I'll go find Li Weiguo later to try to make some friends."

"Oh okay."

More than seven o'clock in the evening.

Just when more than a dozen residents in the courtyard were talking about Li Weiguo's promotion, Li Weiguo, who had been working in the factory for a day, rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.

Today is the first day for him and Dong Jianjun to be the second-in-command. There are many things at work, and they need to communicate with Sun Yucheng, Zheng Shan, and Han Dayou one by one. They have been busy in the office of the security department. It's only now that I get off work, and I haven't had time to eat.

Back home, Li Weiguo turned on the incandescent lamp in the room, threw the shoulder bag on the dining table, and was about to change his uniform to make a cup of tea, when someone knocked on the door.

"Chief Li, are you at home?" Xu Damao's voice came from outside the door.

Li Weiguo heard the sound and went to open the door, only to see Xu Damao standing outside the door with two bottles of Xifeng wine and a net bag.

"Da Mao, what can I do for you?" Li Weiguo asked.

Xu Damao chuckled, raised the things in his hands, and said with an attentive smile: "Chief Li, have you finished your meal? I made some peanuts and eggs today. I will fry some peanuts and eggs later, and then make them again." Two side dishes, will you come to my place for a drink?"

"Okay, Da Mao, your quality of life is good, it's quite nourishing." Li Weiguo looked at the things in Xu Damao's hand, and joked with a smile.

In these years and months, the market has long stopped supplying eggs to the common people. Peanuts, an oil crop, are only supplied to half a catty (including the skin) by each household during the Chinese New Year with non-staple food.

It's not a year or a festival, Xu Damao can still get such in-demand supplies as eggs and peanuts, I have to praise this kid for his ability to exploit.

Don't look at Xu Damao, who usually looks like a dog and is not a good person, but this kid will indeed come to trouble.

He will put down his body to make friends with people who are valuable to him, and find ways to actively be compatible with each other.

He will not take the initiative to offend people who are worthless to him, except for his deadly enemy Sha Zhu, he will not mindlessly target anyone in the courtyard, he is considered a sensible person.

In the original play, Xu Damao was able to take advantage of the situation, which also proved his ability. Li Weiguo didn't have any bad feelings for him. Anyway, no matter how bad Xu Damao was, he would not dare to harm him.

As the saying goes: When you succeed, the whole world will be filled with good people.

So Li Weiguo wasn't worried that Xu Damao had any bad intentions for him. It didn't make sense not to eat the dinner that was delivered to his door, which happened to be too lazy for him.

So he followed the trend: "Okay, then I will rub you tonight."

Xu Damao waved his hand and smiled enthusiastically: "Hey, why don't you bother me? It's too late for me to be happy that you can show me your favor. Then let's walk. You come to my place and have a sip of tea first, and I'll cook. It'll be quick." "

"Okay, let's go."

After finishing the formalities, the two walked towards the backyard while chatting. Along the way, they met many neighbors who had dinner and chatted in the yard to relieve their boredom. They all congratulated Li Weiguo on his promotion.

Li Weiguo didn't take it either, and humbly greeted the big guy with a few words, and after dismissing all the neighbors who were enthusiastic and flattering, he followed Xu Damao into his house.

Xu Damao's home is the west wing in the backyard, which is also a three-bay room. The area is similar to Li Weiguo's, but he has one more side room than Li Weiguo, and he specially converted it into a kitchen.

Li Weiguo walked into the house, looked around casually, then smiled and said: "Da Mao, your living conditions are good, there are probably not many in the courtyard that can catch up with you."

Li Weiguo's words are correct. Although the decoration and furniture in Xu Damao's house are not as good as those of Li Weiguo's, he has all kinds of utensils in this house, including "36 legs". He set it up.

There are still a lot of dry goods such as mushrooms, fungus, and peppers hanging on the walls of the house, and the strings are hung all over half the wall. It seems that being a projectionist is not less profitable.

Compared with most of the other families in the courtyard, this family's conditions can be said to be more than one level higher. It is hard to say that the first and second uncles can catch up with him.

Xu Damao put down the things in his hands, tied his apron, and said with a smile: "It's just a matter of living, hehe."

Li Weiguo rolled his eyes at him and ignored his Versailles. He sat down at the dining table, took a clean cup, made himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.

After a while, when the dishes were fried, Xu Damao carried them back to the house.

There is a plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of fried cabbage with oil residue, a plate of pickled cabbage, and a plate of fried peanuts.

After the dishes were served, Xu Damao took out a can of luncheon meat from the cupboard.

Li Weiguo glanced at the canned luncheon meat and couldn't help nodding his head. Xu Damao's will indeed come.

Such good canned meat is something that ordinary people can't get. He took it out casually to entertain the guests. It seemed that the projectionist was quite skilled. Li Weiguo guessed that even the chef behind Silly Pillar might not be as popular as Xu Damao, at least with a table like this. Cai Shazhu can't get it easily.

After opening the can of meat, Xu Damao opened a bottle of Xifeng wine, took two glasses, and each filled a glass.

"Section Chief Li, congratulations on your promotion today. I respect you for this first cup."

"Hey, no disrespect, there is no leader today, let's do it together."

"Okay, boss, you are so generous, let's do it, hahaha"

The two exchanged cups, chatted while eating, and laughed when they got happy. The atmosphere was quite good.

After three rounds of drinking, the second bottle of Xifeng was almost empty. Xu Damao was already a little tipsy, and he gradually became more relaxed when talking.

With a sizzle, the two drank another drink. Xu Damao put down his glass and joked: "Chief Li, now that your house is decorated and your career is successful, you just need a warm bed. When are you going to bring back a wife?" ?”

Li Weiguo glanced at him and said with a smile: "Hehe. It's still early, don't worry, we'll talk about it in two years."

Li Weiguo felt that this kid was about to get to the point, so he was not in a hurry, picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, watching his next performance with a smile.
