Chapter 52: Something Happens
"In other words, the information about Xu Damao mentioned in the anonymous letter before is true, and he is really infertile?" Lou Yilong shook a thick stack of yellow papyrus in his hand.
There are more than 30 copies of them, large and small, all of which are the results of the crowds that Zhang Chong has come into contact with since Xu Damao's work in the past two days, and have been tracked and intimidated by people at designated points.
Even Zhang Chong, who was accustomed to seeing the chaotic era before Sijiu City, had to admire Xu Damao's behavior of sacrificing his ego to send warmth to the vast number of women and sisters who were lonely and widowed, involving as many as 17 people.
One of the things that made Zhang Chong an eye-opener was that Xu Damao never touched those women who were half-closed to run a leather and meat business, but instead spent a lot of money to hook up with those widows who were a little attractive in the village or the city, and most of them were captured by him under his money offensive.
The few remaining people were coaxed by him into saying that they would definitely get married and be willing to help each other raise children, and finally the lie was exposed, and what should or shouldn't have happened to the two of them has happened. The woman didn't dare to expose him, and Xu Damao would find all kinds of reasons to prevaricate them at this moment, and offered to give monetary compensation.
In Zhang Chong's opinion, the future son-in-law found by the Lou family is indeed very good at playing with women, and the things that can be solved by giving money have been fully demonstrated and taught by him.
And the fancy on so many women is naturally not something he can afford as an ordinary projectionist's salary, in order to collect money, Xu Damao can be said to be a little crazy!
It is hard work for a factory to go to the countryside to show movies, and a broken bicycle carrying dozens of pounds of film equipment can turn people apart on the potholed loess roads in the countryside.
But Xu Damao not only took the initiative to apply to go to the countryside to show movies, but also no matter how far the village or commune in the countryside was, he could complete the screening task on time and on time, and Xu Damao was also awarded the title of model worker by the factory.
The reason why Xu Damao did this was naturally not that he loved his job, but that he went directly to the money.
Xu Damao had his own set of rules when he showed movies in the countryside, he collected less in poor and remote places, and more in richer places, and tried not to take money, not much for a chicken, and a lot of half a bag of flour.
The most important point is that Xu Damao will never get into some kind of entanglement and competition with the other party on eating and taking cards, once the other party shows toughness, Xu Damao will immediately retreat.
The result is often that the other party comes to the door and then invites him back, if the final trend and ending are different, then Xu Damao will not really not go to the movie, but the picture is a little scorched and the aperture is something like that, you don't mind.
It is by relying on his perfect film broadcasting skills that Xu Damao can reap the benefits of fish in the countryside and communes on the outskirts of Beijing.
"Zhang Chong, tell me about Xu Damao, what is your opinion?" Lou Yilong rubbed his tense temples and asked.
"Master, if it had been put aside twenty years ago, Xu Damao's color embryo would have been buried in the suburbs by me with a stuffy stick, but now I am a little hard to say." Zhang Chong swallowed his saliva, and what he said was still very restrained, after all, the potential meaning of this question asked by Lou Yilong was whether the fiancΓ© of the third lady Lou Xiao'e was a good match.
Lou Yilong took a puff of his cigar and spit out a smoke ring, and said very calmly: "It's okay, even if you speak boldly, I just want to hear your true evaluation of this person." β
Zhang Chong lowered his head slightly and thought for a long time, and said: "Shameless but not despicable, lustful but not abusive, jealous of the superior, strong in action but too narrow-minded, ambitious but incompetent. Barely an ambitious, but difficult to rise in the future. β
"Well, the assessment is very pertinent, much fairer than the anonymous letter I gave you. Zhang Chong, I remember that you have been following me since the winter solstice in 1948, right? Lou Yilong put the cigar in his mouth on the ashtray and flicked the ash.
Zhang Chong, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately stood up straight and said: "Master, on the winter solstice in 1948, I was sentenced to be executed, and in the end, you paid for me to save me from the execution ground." β
"Then let me say what if, you don't have to answer me in a hurry first, think about it when you go back, and reply to me next week."
"Sir, you say!" Zhang Chong raised his head and bowed his head slightly respectfully.
Turning back to Nanluoguxiang, there are no secrets in the courtyard. Soon, everyone said that everyone knew about it, and the second aunt who lived in the middle yard had a dispute with Li Wang's cooperative in Doujiao Hutong in the front yard over the purchase of eggs.
It was originally a very simple matter, and the two parties basically didn't think about it afterwards, but the second aunt thought that Li Wang's was taking the initiative to provoke her.
"Are you on fire? Isn't it because Aunt Wang unintentionally said the wrong thing when buying eggs, and you can't wait to be angry with other people's children? β
Liu Guangtian touched the short hair on the top of his head, which was more than an inch long, and the corners of his mouth were almost to the back of his head, he couldn't understand why his mother would let him find someone to beat the stick terrier, and at the same time bring Li Tong, the third son of the Li family, along the way.
"Hmph, it's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks about my affairs! I'm notifying, not discussing! β
After the second aunt finished speaking, she saw that Liu Guangtian had no reaction, knowing that the second son had an opinion in her heart, but she was not afraid, she just wanted to take Li Tong to get rid of the stuffiness in her chest.
"If you don't think I'm talking to you, then I'll let your father talk to you at dinner in the evening, and let him talk to you properly!"
"Oh, what a thing this is, I admit defeat okay, now I'm going to find someone." Liu Guangtian was immediately defeated, stomped his feet and left.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Tong was woken up by the noise in the living room, the second seedling time of the cabbage has not yet arrived, taking advantage of the gap in the middle Li Tong tried to cut down a willow tree, a willow tree with a diameter of one meter two removed the branches and leaves, and there are still fifteen meters left after the roots are sharpened.
According to the calculation company that Li Tong saw in the book of simple calculation of wood, the volume of wood produced by multiplying the volume of wood by 55 percent and dividing it by the volume of wood can be used to get the estimated amount of board.
According to the final amount of plates, Li Tong was originally going to cut down a row of willow trees, but in the end he found that only ten willow trees were needed. According to the current progress, Li Tong estimates that before the Chinese cabbage is harvested, the warehouse will probably be able to complete the overall construction, and it will be just usable.
When building the warehouse building, Li Tong encountered a very big problem, that is, there were no spare parts such as screws in the tool wooden room in the virtual farm, but fortunately, the mortise and tenon structure of the ancient building could also be used as a reference for Li Tong.
Suddenly, Li Tong felt that the idea of building a universal library didn't seem to be right.
Otherwise, the only thing Li Tong can think of is to build a warehouse by building blocks in the game Minecraft.
