Chapter 77: Young Kid

Watching everyone savoring the movie with fascination, no wonder Seeing Sha Zhu said that after watching her, looking for a partner would make everyone look like Zhu Bajie's second aunt.

This was actually Seeing Sha Zhu's wishful thinking. In his heart, he fantasized about Ashima, in action he ran toward Qin Huairu, in his mouth he muttered about Qin Jingru, in his thoughts he reached for Ran Qiuye, and his body was honest with Lou Xiaoe.

Now looking at it, not getting married at 30 is just an unwilling scumbag.

Scumbag Seeing Sha Zhu prepared a table of dishes with his apprentice. As soon as the movie ended, the food was ready. Tonight, Vice Factory Director Li was leading the leaders of various departments to hold a banquet.

After watching the movie, Li Xuewu greeted the leaders and prepared to get up to hold his child and go home.

Vice Factory Director Li grabbed him and said to go to the cafeteria to drink and chat at night.

Li Xuewu declined, saying he had already eaten dinner before watching the movie, but Vice Factory Director Li insisted on going to drink, so he had to accompany him.

This kind of occasion was generally Vice Factory Director Li with a few big leaders, and then bringing one or two young subordinates. One was to have things to order, and the other was to have the meaning of promotion.

Office leaders like Fu Bin and Dong Wenxue wouldn't go. Once they reached a certain level, they had to maintain an appropriate distance from the leaders.

The Qin Huairu family also returned home after returning the cafeteria's benches.

On the way, Little Huaihua was sleepy, so Qin Huairu carried Little Huaihua on her back, Qin Jingru led Banggeng and Xiaodang, stumbling along with the crowd to the city.

Qin Jingru was thinking about things and asked carefully: "Sister, is He Yuzhu really a fool?"

Qin Huairu said dissatisfiedly: "How is that possible? A fool can be a cook? A monthly salary of 37 yuan and 50 cents, girls are lining up to marry him."

Qin Jingru asked incredulously: "Then why is he still not married at 29?"

Qin Huairu couldn't answer for a while, so she could only be silent.

After walking for a while, Qin Jingru asked again: "Is that police officer also your leader? He looks so young."

Although Qin Huairu couldn't see her cousin's face clearly in the night, the attitude in her words explained everything.

She tightened Little Huaihua on her back and said: "Security cadre, can be considered a leader. He catches thieves and robbers. He also lives in our courtyard. He is the second son of Dr. Li who lives opposite the Third Master in the front courtyard. Didn't I take you to see a doctor last time? He went to be a soldier, recently came back, and was assigned to our factory."

Qin Jingru said "Oh", and then said: "Their family, their conditions look quite average, so many people living in one room."

Qin Huairu knew that her cousin was greedy for wealth and jealous of her early on, and also wanted to marry into the city.

But a rural girl, who hadn't seen the world, didn't know that looking at a person's conditions wasn't looking from the outside.

Qin Huairu glanced at her cousin and counted: "What do you know about average conditions? Dr. Li has 79 yuan and 50 cents a month. The eldest and his wife are both university teachers, each with a salary of 62 yuan. The second son of the Li family we saw today has a salary of 37 yuan and 50 cents a month. The third son of the Li family is a medical student, eating state subsidies, no need to eat at home. The fourth is in high school, a girl. Four people earn wages, supporting two old people, which is 241 yuan a month. How many people can't afford to raise them?"

People at this time were most willing to ask how much others earned, wanting to compare with each other, not looking at your family's expenses, not looking at your family's actual situation, just judging whether your family is rich or not based on your income.

This was also a tradition passed down from later generations when grandpas and grandmas asked about your salary when you returned to the village.

Hearing Qin Huairu's definitive calculation, Qin Jingru, who hadn't seen much of the world, was a bit dumbfounded.

Qin Jingru said in surprise: "So much money! Our village can't see so much in a year. How do you spend it?"

Qin Huairu glared at her cousin: "You don't need to worry about how others spend it, think about your own affairs."

Qin Jingru didn't give up and continued to ask: "Then, is the second son of their family married?"

Qin Huairu said: "Only 19, just transferred, not married. What's wrong? You like him? His face has a scar, aren't you afraid?"

Qin Jingru said shyly: "No, besides, isn't he a security cadre? What's there to be afraid of?"

Qin Huairu said: "No is good. Even if you like him, it won't work. His conditions are too good, he won't look at rural girls like us. You just honestly go on a blind date with Seeing Sha Zhu. His salary is also 37 yuan and 50 cents, which is not small. Don't aim too high, I've already agreed with him."

Qin Jingru remained silent, secretly muttering in her heart: "What if he likes rural girls? I don't look worse than city girls. The second son has a scar and is ugly, but what about the third son..."

Thinking in her heart, she didn't dare to say it out loud, after all, entering the city depended on her cousin.

Li Xuewu followed the leaders into the cafeteria private room. Seeing Sha Zhu and Ma Hua were serving dishes. He was quite surprised to see Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu exchanged greetings but didn't chat much; the wine table was bustling with clinking glasses and lively conversation.

Some words that were not convenient to say in office occasions were all said out on the wine table, testing each other's bottom line.

Just as they were talking, Xu Damao came in.

The factory office director said to Yang Shuji and Vice Factory Director Li: "Xu Damao worked hard today, specially called him over to have a drink."

Xu Damao looked enviously at Li Xuewu sitting at the table talking and laughing with the leaders, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, this kid is only 19 years old, and he rose up by taking advantage of an anti-corruption opportunity.

That phone call from the assembly workshop to the security section was spread throughout the factory. This security section person picked up a big bargain.

Think of me, Xu Damao, who has been silently contributing for so many years, flattering here and there at this factory director's wine table, and now I actually need to toast the young kid in the courtyard at the wine table.

Xu Damao's heart was very dissatisfied, but years of experience allowed him to adjust quickly, nodded to Li Xuewu, and began to liven up the atmosphere at the wine table.

"It is my Xu Damao's great honor to drink with the leaders of our factory. I, Xu Damao, toast, old rules, one big and three small, two five and ten."

Yang Shuji drank with Xu Damao for the first time, so he asked: "What is one big and three small, two five and ten?"

Xu Damao held his wine glass and said: "This big one is that our leaders are big. What is a leader? A leader is heaven, that is the heaven of our factory."

【Author's note: "Xianmu Qiyuan"】

Hearing this, Yang Shuji grinned and looked at Vice Factory Director Li, his eyes expressing: "Is this projectionist's flattery so blatant?"

Vice Factory Director Li had heard this set of rhetoric long ago, looking at Xu Damao with the eyes of looking at a monkey, thinking in his heart: "How can Lou's son-in-law be so unable to get on the table."

Xu Damao continued to flatter: "Big figures drink one cup, then small figures like me have to drink three cups."

Vice Factory Director Li asked playfully: "What if I drink three cups?"

Xu Damao hurriedly said: "Three threes are nine, then I have to drink nine cups."

Li Xuewu watched Xu Damao playing the monkey and didn't persuade him. Although they lived in the same courtyard, they weren't familiar. Good words are hard to persuade the ghost who should die.

This guy is taking the initiative to be a monkey for the leaders. If he persuades him, he will think he is harming him.

Xu Damao toasted everyone one by one, and it was really one big and three small, two five and ten. When he toasted which leader, the leader drank one cup, and Xu Damao drank three cups.

This cup wasn't big, about one or two of wine, but there were six or seven people sitting in the room including himself. After this round, he drank more than a jin and was rushing to two jin.

By the time it was his turn, he was already swaying. Li Xuewu was really afraid that he would fall here and affect the dinner party. ===== CHAPTER 78 =====
