Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Wang Jianjun can be said to have watched the entire lively scene at Yi Zhonghai's table.

I didn't even have time to eat.

Yan Bugui, who was sitting on the side and busy picking up food, couldn't help but ask:

"Jianjun, why don't you eat?"

Yan Bugui arrived late and happened to sit at the same table with Wang Jianjun. Also sitting at the same table with him was Xu Damao.

The Xu family sent him to the banquet tonight.

"I'm busy watching a show."

Yan Bugui glanced back and said nonchalantly:

"What's so good about a bunch of shrews fighting? It's disgraceful."

As he said this, he picked up a few more pieces of twice-cooked pork and put them into his mouth.

It was obvious that the technique had been practiced.

With one chopstick, he picked up several pieces of pork belly without even a piece of chili.

"Speaking of which, Jianjun, you really don't know how to live. How much food can you put in such a small bowl when you bring it to the banquet? Look, everyone brought big bowls."

Wang Jianjun picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork and put it into his mouth and said with a smile:

"Uncle, why would you bring me along when I'm the only one in my family? Just eat enough now. The weather is so hot that the food will go bad the next day.

You happen to have a large family, so you can pack my portion and bring it back for Jie to eat."

When Yan Bugui heard this, he immediately smiled.

"Then Jianjun, I won't be polite to you. My husband is expecting me to bring back some meat tonight."

As he said this, he put some more food into his large bowl.

Wang Jianjun has no shortage of food now, so he just happens to do a favor for the third uncle.

Everyone present looked at the third uncle with envy.

The third uncle made a fortune by getting so much meat and vegetables for no reason.

At the same time, I also felt that Wang Jianjun really didn't know how to live. He didn't even want the good meat and vegetables and just gave them away for free.

Wang Jianjun didn't care about anything and just ate his food.

Sha Zhu is indeed good at cooking, and Wang Jianjun's predecessor could also cook some home-cooked meals, but compared with Sha Zhu, the difference is that of amateur and professional.

Most of the people at the table where he sat were men.

Two bottles of Lotus White were also prepared on the table.

As a drunkard, Xu Damao opened the wine and poured it for everyone after they had eaten for a while.

After a few drinks, Xu Damao's tongue started to get tied.

This guy has a strong alcohol addiction and a low alcohol tolerance. He is a typical bad boy who loves to play.

And he likes to talk nonsense when he is drunk.

"Hey Jianjun, you're not manly enough. There's no man in our city who doesn't know how to drink. You develop this drinking capacity through drinking.

For example, I often drink with the leaders in the factory, and even that idiot Zhu has to wait on us in the kitchen."

After hearing this, Shazhu, who was sitting by the stove, clenched the ladle in his hand tightly.

If the timing wasn't wrong, he would have given Xu Damao a few hits.

Wang Jianjun didn't care about Xu Damao's bragging after drinking.

His wife will naturally know whether he is a man in the future, but it is hard to say whether Xu Damao is a man.

"That's right! I heard that Damao is highly valued by the leaders in the factory and is often invited to drink by them. I wonder if there is any gossip in the steel mill recently."

Yan Bugui was acting as a supporting actor on the side. He had recently been asking people everywhere whether the steel rolling mill had any news on recruiting workers.

Judging from what Xu Damao said, he seems to have some connections in the factory.

Maybe you'll know something.

Xu Damao thought to himself, I was just bragging, but you took it seriously. He just knew him, but he remained calm and said:

"Hey, the boss is talking about confidential information. How can we just talk about it casually?"

Naturally, some people did not believe what Xu Damao said. Several of his peers said unhappily:

"Da Mao, what kind of leaders can a projectionist like you get in touch with in the factory? Are you bragging?"

Xu Damao is a man who doesn't easily get provoked. He won't accept what someone says about him.

He simply threw his father Xu Fugui's instructions behind his mind and said:

"Hey, I can brag! Do you know who my future father-in-law is? I'll tell you and scare you to death!"

"Look at what you can do. Then tell me about it."

Xu Damao was drunk and stood up and said proudly:

"Do you know who owned our steel mill? Lou Bancheng, right? He was a well-known big shot and a big capitalist in our city before the founding of the People's Republic of China!

From now on, you are my father-in-law, Taishan old man!"

When everyone heard what Xu Damao said, they thought he was bragging. Who is Lou Bancheng? It is impossible for you, Xu Damao, to marry his daughter. It is impossible even if you dream about it.

Seeing that everyone did not believe him, Xu Damao continued:

"Don't disbelieve me, you know my dad. He used to be a projectionist at the steel mill. I took over his job. He used to show movies for Lou Bancheng.

My mother used to be a servant in the Lou family, serving Lou Bancheng's concubines. My marriage was also arranged by my parents.

This means that we have caught up with a good era. Our working class has risen up and is in control. I, Xu Damao, can also marry the daughter of a capitalist. "

Yan Bugui followed beside him and said:

"Yes! I almost forgot that Damao, your parents used to work for Lou Bancheng's family. Your family and the Lou family really have this connection."

After hearing what Yan Bugui said, everyone believed Xu Damao a little more.

At this moment, Xu Damao's status instantly rose in the eyes of everyone.

Everyone changed their previous attitude and started to flatter Xu Damao.

From time to time, someone would toast Xu Damao.

Xu Damao accepted every cup and drank one after another.

He became more and more uncontrolled with his words and started talking nonsense.

Like using the whip of socialism to reform the daughter of a capitalist.

Or let the capitalist's daughter stay at home to serve Xu Damao by washing clothes, cooking, massaging his shoulders and feet.

As soon as these words were spoken, they won applause from the audience.

Even Wang Jianjun joined in the applause.

This is just bullshit.

If he hadn't known that Xu Damao would treat Lou Xiao'e like his grandson after marriage, he would have almost believed it.

After Xu Damao married Lou Xiao'e, he immediately became a househusband.

After drinking countless cups, Xu Damao finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground.

No matter who pushed him, he couldn't wake up.

Everyone saw that he was really drunk.

In the end, the third uncle called two people to help carry it back.

Xu Damao was so busy drinking that he didn't have time to pick up some food, and no one was helping him pack up his food to take back.

In the end, the dishes that were supposed to belong to him were given to others at a lower price.

The banquet lasted until it was almost dark.

One meal can satisfy everyone.

The third uncle happily packed up two full bowls of meat and vegetables, and went home with the remaining half bottle of wine in his hand.

His third uncle was the happiest person at today's banquet.

Don’t expect leftovers at banquets these days. After everyone left, only some soup or water was left on the table. Even the plate of stir-fried cabbage was gone.

After the guests left, several women who helped in the kitchen came over to clean up the dishes.

After finishing his meal, Wang Jianjun was about to go back to his house.

The Liu family would wash the tables and chairs and send them to him the next day.

I went straight into my space and took a shower when I got home.

This is the bad thing about having a banquet on a hot day. It makes you sweat profusely and feel uncomfortable.

There is really no one in the hospital who can take a bath as casually as he does.

Most people just get a basin of water and wipe it with a towel at home.

If you want to take a bath, you have to wait for ten days or half a month to get a bath ticket and go to the big bathhouse to take a bath.
