Xu Damao listened to the two people's requests and said it would be a lie to say he was unhappy.

"I won't take anyone with me this time. You just need to take care of your family."

"I'm not a child, so I need to be taken care of all the time."

"I'm telling you, this isn't popular over there. I don't want to be criticized."

At this juncture, if you bring a foreign housekeeper or nanny back, you will be looking for trouble.

After all the wives came home, Xu Damao told them the news.

Lou Xiao'e: "When I came back, the old lady was still fine. Why did this person say that she couldn't do it anymore?"

Zhou Xiaobai: "Brother, can we go back with you this time?"

"This time I only brought the rainwater back, in case the old lady left."

"With Shazhu and her here, it can be regarded as a son and a daughter."

"So don't follow me back, just take care of the company at home."

"But why hasn't the rain come back yet? Aifang, how many times have you called her?"

Early the next morning, Xu Damao took the rainwater to Luohu Port to pass the customs.

On the way, the two of them changed all their clothes, making sure they were in line with the trend.

The certificate that had not been used for a long time in the space was taken out again.

Luohu Port sent the others away, and the two of them passed the security check.

Taking the ticket I bought, I boarded the train heading north directly.

Listening to the clang of the train along the way, the matter of the courtyard came to mind again.

When we arrived at Sijiucheng Railway Station, we happened to catch a bus.

Fortunately it wasn't late at night, otherwise there wouldn't be any taxis these days.

The two of them had to carry large and small bags and walked back.

After getting off the bus at the station, Xu Damao looked at the scene in front of him.

I couldn't help but sigh, everything was still the same as before.

By the time he reached the entrance of the alley, Xu Damao had already been recognized.

"Director Xu, you are back."

"Isn't that right? Director Xu, we haven't seen you for a while."

Xu Damao: "I'm not the factory director anymore, so it's a bit inappropriate to call me that."

"I'm going outside to collect the scenery. Didn't I just get off the car?"

The group of people worked together to help Xu Damao carry his luggage, and then walked to the courtyard.

"Director Xu, we know that you have been promoted. What association are you in?"

"The expenses for the outing for collecting scenery are all reimbursed by the government, right?"

"Haha~ It's not bad, they are all serving the people."

"How can it be the same? We often hear the songs you write."

"Director Xu, are you doing this because of the old lady? But she is in the hospital now."

Xu Damao: "Yes~ I came back as soon as I got the news. I put my things away and I'm going to see her."

Chatting and laughing with everyone along the way, we arrived at the courtyard.

Before I even entered the door, my aunt's dog ran out whining.

He kept circling around Xu Damao, his little tail spinning so fast.

Auntie was not at home, only Qin Huairu and Xiaodang came out.

"Da Mao."

"Uncle Xu."

Two different voices shouted out with surprise.

"Sister Qin, Xiaodang, I'll come back to see the old lady."

"Jingru is taking care of the old lady in the hospital. Go home first. I will take you there later."

As soon as Xu Damao entered the hospital, sisters Yu Li and Yu Haitang also ran out.

"Director Xu, you are back."

This was Yu Haitang's hearty voice, followed by Yu Li's still a little shy shout.

"Director Xu."

Everyone came to the main room in the middle courtyard together. It was cleaned every day, just waiting for him to move in.

Xu Damao took out cigarettes and a lot of toffee from his bag and distributed them to the helpers.

Everyone also knew that Xu Damao had packed up and had to go to the hospital. He took the cigarettes and candies and left.

As soon as the outsider left, the atmosphere in the room immediately became awkward.

"Ahem."

"Hurry up and pack it up for me. Sister Qin will accompany me to the hospital later."

"But what about Lin Cuiqing and You Fengxia? Aren't they still off work at this time?"

Yu Haitang still has the kind of character that wants to participate in everything. She knows what Lin Cuiqing dares to do.

"Director Lin and Secretary You are having a meeting at the Metallurgical Department. It seems like something is in place."

Xu Damao nodded, but before he could speak, he heard someone shouting outside.

"I heard that Damao is back. It's been a good run for me."

Before he could remember who it was, Yu Haitang said in disgust.

"It's that Yan Laoxi again, if you can find something good, run over there."

"Yu Haitang, talking behind others' backs is not what a woman like you in the new era should do."

"Although I am no longer in this courtyard, I still taught Damao how to read."

"He's back, shouldn't I come over and take a look?"

Xu Damao: "Third uncle, your health is still in great shape. Let's sit down and talk."

Yan Bugui: "I know you are busy, so I just came over to see you."

As he spoke, his eyes were still looking at the toffees and cigarettes on the table.

Qin Huairu went up and grabbed a large handful, and then gave them to Yan Bugui.

"I've seen you too. Third uncle, you'd better go back first."

"We have to go to the hospital to see the old lady later, so we won't keep you here."

"It's time to go. The old lady has been talking about you, so I'll go back first. I'll come back later."

After Yan Bugui left, no one in the room said anything good about him.

Xu Damao smiled and did not continue what they said.

Only then did he realize that there was a phone on the table next to him.

It seems that the steel factory equipped it for Lin Cuiqing, which also shows that telephones have become popular.

Xiaodang: "Uncle Xu, let me accompany you to the hospital later. I know the old lady is in that room."

Xu Damao frowned slightly as he looked at Xiaodang who volunteered.

To be honest, his sense of Xiaodang was quite poor.

"Xiao Dang, I didn't bother to ask you last time, are you still in school now?"

Qin Huairu saw Xu Damao's dissatisfaction with Xiaodang and quickly took up the topic.

"Xiaodang took the exam twice but failed. The street office happened to have an internal indicator, so I asked Xiaodang to come over and help."

Xu Damao: "In the future, the country's requirements for the cultural level of managers will become higher and higher."

"Your mother can help you go to the street office, can she also help you get promoted?

"If you don't study now, you will have to work in the hierarchy for the rest of your life."

"In the future, when you see others getting promoted and getting salary increases, I hope you still have the same mentality as you do now."

Xiaodang muttered quietly from the side: "Isn't there you, Uncle Xu?"

After Xu Damao heard this, he stared and wanted to say something.

Qin Huairu: "Da Mao, this is mainly my fault. I will urge her to study later."

"Let's go, take Yu Yu and me to the hospital to see the old lady."

Xu Damao led Lian out, and Qin Huai followed him like a slut.

As for Xiaodang, Qin Huairu is too lazy to pay attention to her now.

What she said just now was so mindless. Is there something she can say?
