Chapter 295: The Joy of Nengwa
This is how old foxes like the deaf old lady deal with things. Not to mention how smart they are, but before doing something, what they think about most is how to get themselves out of it first.

To put it bluntly, they have the brains to instigate others to harm others, but they don't have the courage to do it themselves.

Not to mention whether her relationship with Wang Wu is real or not.

But based on her plan, even if the institute really found out, they would ultimately find out about Wang Wu.

As for her, the deaf old lady, she can still live her life in the courtyard.

I don’t know if the deaf old lady has ever thought about this idea, but this is the fact.

Just like a taut string, the three families in the yard were all stretched tight.

Although Jia Dongxu did not believe the blind man Fang's lies, he was still extremely careful at work and on his way to and from get off work during this period.

This is of course an over-worry.

Even if Wang Wu wanted to take action, he would not choose now.

He Yuzhu felt annoyed every day when he saw Qin Huairu wandering around the yard with her big belly, but there was nothing he could do. The yard was so small that it would be harder for him to avoid her on purpose than for Xu Damao to get promoted and make a fortune.

Xu Damao is also considered a respectable person in the factory.

As the steel mill develops, everything has its own rules.

For example, leaders come to inspect, or colleagues come to learn.
Basically, I just walk around the workshop, hold a symposium, and listen to the reports from the factory leaders.

Then there is a short movie, and this is the time for everyone to talk about things.

Any instructions from the leader and any areas for discussion among colleagues will be communicated during the short film screening.

In the dark room, the sound of the speakers covers the entire place, and no one can hear what is being said in a whisper.

Of course, you can also find a place to talk privately.

But it's official business! It must be witnessed by others to be considered official business.

For example, some units want to exchange some wire rods with the steel rolling mill. Although there are approval slips now, the leaders are very protective of their reputation and generally will not issue them.

At most, you can take a letter of introduction from a leader and ask them to come over for a talk.

How to exchange is a public matter.

But under the same conditions, the steel mill leaders could not allow latecomers to cut in line.

So when watching a movie, talk about a leader you both know and your past interactions at work.

He then promised that he would come to him if he had any problems in the future. As long as the leaders of the steel rolling mill did not object, the matter would be almost certain.

Finally, there is the reception dinner.

Now that things have been discussed, it's natural to have some fun.

So it's nice to have a clown who knows about bar culture to make some noise.

And Xu Damao has this talent.

No matter one big and three small, or he is the youngest, after playing around for a while, Xu Damao can play with them all.

Xu Damao thought that was a skill.

He thought that if he could keep the leaders company well at the drinking party, he would be able to gain their attention.

However, he never thought that nowadays leaders are striving to serve everyone, and pulling Xu Damao over to accompany them is just a matter of convenience.

On the contrary, Xu Damao's image of a lackey did liven up the atmosphere at the bar.

But it also made the leaders present wary.

To put it simply, in the public's perception, people who like to flatter others definitely have no real ability.

This thing made Xu Damao very depressed.

He drinks so much that he's not as drunk as a teenager should, but every time he talks to his boss about making progress, he's rejected.

He Yuzhu watched coldly and naturally knew that Xu Damao had taken the wrong path.

All I can say is that if Xu Damao had acted like this, getting promoted would not be a problem in the workplace after the reform and opening up.

But now, it has gone astray. If Xu Damao at this time had been close to the [guild], he would have taken the time to give free shows to his fellow workers.

At least if we can gain recognition from the majority of our co-workers, then progress will be a natural outcome.

With progress, it won’t be long before we can do those things by replacing work with labor.

But Xu Damao chose to flatter.

Originally, his profession was a bit like that of an actor before the liberation, but Xu Damao turned himself into a real actor who stirred up the atmosphere through a series of outrageous actions.

As for this thing, the leaders only think of him when they are drinking and don't care about his professional skills at all.

In this day and age, with this kind of performance, it would be a miracle if there could be any improvement.

He Yuzhu naturally would not remind him. Xu Damao had looked for him several times, but He Yuzhu always said with a confused look on his face: It's a matter of luck. When luck comes, everything will come naturally. There's no point in being anxious.

He Yuzhu didn't help Xu Damao not because he was afraid that Xu Damao would climb higher than him.

But he knew this bastard and was very prone to causing trouble.

Now he is just a projectionist, but he has gotten into trouble by playing with women in the countryside.

If he gets promoted and gets into trouble, no one can save him.

After all, they were friends from their previous life, so He Yuzhu still wanted Xu Damao to live a peaceful life with him.

How do you say this thing?

I am afraid that my brother will have a hard time, and I am also afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover.

That’s pretty much the mentality.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for Qin Huairu to give birth again.

Logically speaking, as Jia Dongxu's spouse, Qin Huairu should be qualified to go to the hospital to give birth.

Just reimburse it!
But there is no precedent for this kind of thing in the yard.

Jia Zhang also felt that going to the hospital was too troublesome, so she called a midwife from the next alley.

As for Mrs. Fang, the Jia family didn't shout at her, and Mrs. Fang didn't get angry either.

Everyone knows that the Jia family was uncomfortable because of the previous rumors.

We are all familiar with it.

So there is nothing to be nervous about.

Even the few old guys in the yard, no one went to help.

One reason is that the second child is safer than the first child. Another reason is that in the past one or two years, the Jia and Yi families have lived in a small circle independent of the Siheyuan family.

This is more because Yi Zhonghai's reputation was ruined and he was too lazy to struggle.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai was hoping that Qin Huairu could give birth to a child and change the child's surname to Yi, and then he could live a stable life.

He Yuzhu was still at work, but Yu Shui arrived on time. After hearing the wailing of Qin Huairu from the Jia family, she turned around and walked out of the courtyard without even entering the middle courtyard. She was planning to go to the Guo family to get a meal.

But before Yu Shui walked out of the courtyard gate, she heard someone in the middle courtyard shouting, "It's born, it's born, a baby is born, a pearl is born!"

Yu Shui felt that the courtyard suddenly became quiet, and a faint sigh was heard.

For the little girl, she also knew that favoring boys over girls was a common practice in the market.

So Yu Shui felt fortunate at this time. Although her father was unreliable, he did not seem to favor boys over girls.

And her brother, during the years she lived with him, basically treated her like a treasure.

Yushui ran out of the yard with light footsteps.

Now in the Intermediate Court, the Jia and Yi families looked a little heavy.

The midwife was holding the baby in the room and asked, "Send someone to come and hold the baby."

Jia Dongxu looked at Yi Zhonghai, but Yi Zhonghai lowered his head and walked home with a gloomy face.
