Chapter 125 Xu Damao and Qin Jingru(1/2)
Xu Damao was obviously a little frustrated. After all, it was a big day for his wedding. He originally wanted to use a car to show off, but it turned out that using a car might affect his future. It was like a bucket of cold water being poured on his head.
At this time, He Yuzhu knew that Xu Damao was a bit of a show-off person. He always wanted to show that he was superior to others, but he was also loving, clever, and a bit stingy.
Characteristics of typical small bourgeoisie.
At this time, Xu Damao said helplessly: "I have already agreed with my friend about this thing. If you can't use the car tomorrow, how can I talk to others? I just said that for the sake of my future, I can't
Using a car, I can't say that.
If I really said that, I might not even be friends anymore and might have offended the other person. They took a day off specifically just for me. At this time, I always feel that it's a bit inappropriate to offend them."
This matter is indeed a bit difficult to handle. It was very difficult to find a car in the 1960s. If we go back to this time, it will not be as easy as finding one, or even more difficult.
The uncle said from the side: "Actually, it is a little difficult. Originally, it was said that if a car goes by, it should be fine if there are 6 bicycles behind it. But since cars cannot go, then 8 bicycles will be needed.
At first we ordered 8 bicycles, but we deleted them in our yard and received them over there to arrange 5 bicycles for us.
As a result, didn’t we order cars later? Two bicycles were returned, and we had to hire them again.”
In fact, this matter is usually decided in advance and communicated with others. This time, the all-hands meeting is just a past practice to confirm the process for tomorrow.
But I never thought that things would turn out like this.
How grand and majestic it is to welcome a bride in a car.
But as Zhu Zhu said, it’s a bit ostentatious, indeed it is a bit ostentatious.
Xu Damao immediately said at this time: "Uncle Yi's bicycle problem is really easy to talk about. At the worst, I can buy a pack of cigarettes and invite people, right?"
They are all neighbors, so they will definitely give this face. But cars are difficult to deal with. Think about it, do people who have cars need a pack of cigarettes?
What people want is face."
The situation suddenly became awkward. People with cars really didn't care about the pack of cigarettes.
In fact, a lot of men in the capital are just trying to save face. Even though their families are extremely poor, they still have to wipe their mouths with a piece of pig skin when they go out, saying that the pork they ate today is a bit greasy, anyway.
This situation.
Those who don’t have money at home have to put on a show, not to mention those who can drive a car. They are definitely not the kind who don’t have money at home. People like this are even more concerned about face.
Offending a friend like this is not a good thing, and you might end up turning against him.
For a time, Xu Damao was caught in a dilemma.
There is really nothing I can do about it. He is a real person and is not familiar with this situation.】
The second uncle, on the other hand, ate his peanuts and melon seeds without hesitation. He didn't care much about this matter either. It was nothing to do with him and he was too concerned about it. With Lao Xu here, he couldn't show off.
At this time, the third uncle took advantage of everyone's unimpressive attention and secretly grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds and put them into his pocket. If he took them back, he could have a few drinks.
Anyway, with three uncles and three thoughts, the other people in the courtyard have no choice.
Cars are still a relatively distant thing for the neighbors in these courtyard houses.
He Yuzhu said from the side: "Actually, if you really want to return the car, it's not impossible. There is no way, but?"
He Yuzhu stopped talking when he said this, and sat there as if an old god was there.
Xu Damao immediately said: "Zhuzi, tell me if you have any good ideas. At the critical moment, you can't ignore the chain."
He Yuzhu shook his head with a regretful expression at this time and said: "Listen to what you said, what about me? I don't have any fat in my stomach. I have been busy all afternoon and I haven't even eaten a serious meal yet. I was pulled here.
Have a meeting?
Well, you said he felt uncomfortable being hungry, right?
This must be uncomfortable, there was originally a way, but somehow I can’t remember it.”
In fact, when the chef was helping the host with the ingredients, the meal should have been the host's treat, which was also a rule, but this time I don't know whether it was because Xu Damao forgot or Xu's father came and didn't think of it.
In addition, He Yuzhu took a long time to process the ingredients. After processing the ingredients, he sent them to Xu Damao's home, and then held a hospital-wide meeting, so it is true that He Yuzhu has not eaten seriously until now.
Of course I wasn't hungry anymore, but I really didn't eat properly. This was something everyone in the courtyard saw.
However, his mortal enemy Xu Damao, the two of them are not good friends. They are enemies. It is impossible for them to give Xu Damao advice for nothing. This is not in line with his usual style.
In fact, He Yuzhu also feels that if he doesn't cause trouble in this kind of thing, it will be enough to give him face. It is almost impossible for him to give Xu Damao direct advice. Of course, there are always exceptions, as long as there are enough benefits.
, then some things cannot be made exceptions.
Fortunately, this guy Xu Damao had the brains to quickly take out three big meat buns from home and stuff them into He Yuzhu's hand and said: "It's my fault, Zhuzi. Originally, I wanted to treat you, the chef, to a meal tonight.
As a result, my dad came to the house.
Do you think so? The house is full of ingredients. I was a little busy and forgot about this. It’s my fault. I’m going to look back. When I give you a meal, you can tell me how to solve the problem.
These are the big meat buns that I plan to bring to my old father-in-law tomorrow. I bought them from a state-owned store specially with pork vermicelli filling. You can just make do with them. I still have them there, so don’t worry."
He Yuzhu snorted and backed away as he was being held back. "Xu Damao, your grandson is really nothing."
However, look at the buns under the pork in your hand. This is indeed a rare item. Even looking at the fragrant big buns in the courtyard, some of the other neighbors are drooling.
For ordinary people, these big steamed buns stuffed with pork are rarely eaten once a month. If you take the whole family to eat them once, it will be considered an improvement in life.
At this time, Father Xu knew that he had his precious son, and he was probably unlikely to be He Yuzhu's opponent. How did this stupid boy get the idea?
This man with such a high IQ probably has to control his son with all his hands. It seems that he will help his son grow boldly in the future.
Lao He, a bastard himself, looks like a pig-skinned person who likes widows. Even though he is such a shrewd person, almost all his brains are focused on women, so he is not worthy of much attention.
But why is it that one son has become so shrewd now that he is even more surprised than a monkey if he has a hair on his head?
This incident made Father Xu sit aside and sigh a little. He felt like he had no successor, but there was no way. At least when it came to getting married, this time his son was indeed controlled by He Yuzhu.
.
He Yuzhu was really a little hungry at this moment, and of course he wasn't being pretentious. He didn't care about the three meat buns, but what he cared about was Xu Damao's attitude of bowing his head and admitting his mistake.
What you want is this face.
At this moment, He Yuzhu said while eating steamed buns: "I will tell you a sure way. You should call him immediately and tell him that you went to the village today to check the situation.
It’s normal to go explore the route when you get married, right?
If you tell your friend, just say that the roads in this rural area are very difficult to walk and are full of potholes.
Just over there from your old father-in-law's house, there is a section of mountain road that is not suitable for cars to pass through.
As for you, just ask your friend if he has experience driving mountain roads. If he doesn't have experience driving mountain roads, it is best to find an experienced driver.
Hey, if you just ask that, unless your friend is out of his mind, he will 100% say that he wants to quit and he will not drive to accompany you to get married.
Think about it, if you raise the issue and don't let people come, it would seem like you don't give them face, right?
If you invite someone to come and they ask for leave, then if you suddenly don't let them come, it means you don't want to give them face. But if the other party brings it up and says there is something urgent, or the car breaks down or something, just
If you can't come, it's the other party's suggestion. If the other party expresses regret, the other party still owes you a favor.
Think about it, is this the truth? When you got married, you promised that the car would come over, but something happened to the other party suddenly and the car couldn't come. He owes you 100% of the favor."
Xu Damao hesitated and said, "Then if I say this, will the other party really stop coming?
I have a close relationship with my friend, and when I said that, he actually said that he was experienced in driving, or that he would find me a driver who was experienced in driving.
What if the other party comes here?"
At this moment, He Yuzhu said categorically: "What about guanxi iron? Guanxi iron also has a limit.
That's a car, a real rarity.
So as you say, it’s a difficult mountain road. It’s impossible that you don’t have a car. You don’t know how much a person will care for his car if he has one.
You don’t know how much damage your car will get when walking on a mountain road. You may even have your car scrapped directly on the mountain road.
Therefore, if the driver of an ordinary car has some brains, he will not be able to drive on mountainous roads easily.
Go to your old father-in-law's house. There is indeed a mountainous road in Hongxing Commune over there. I walked through it, and I was driving a truck. Good guy, it was so loud that I almost vomited out my morning breakfast.
.
Even if you ride a bicycle to that place, you have to be careful. If you want to drive a car there, you have to be careful.
And there is no guarantee that the car will not have any problems on the way.
So let me tell you, this is indeed not a lie. It is indeed a difficult mountain road to go to Hongxing Commune.
If you just say that, your friend will 100% find various excuses to avoid driving over tomorrow.
In this case, not only do you not owe him a favor, he also owes you a favor.
If you don’t believe it, you should call him now. He can 100% handle this matter. It’s not too early now. You’d better call him as soon as possible to get this matter sorted out.
Save yourself the trouble when you can.”
Because He Yuzhu knew very well that if there was a car at home, there would definitely be a phone. If a rich person had a car, it would be impossible to miss a phone.
For example, my old father-in-law, Lou's family, had a car and a telephone at home, and they used to have a nanny and housekeeper to take care of them.
So there is no problem making phone calls now.
Xu Damao didn't dare to delay at this time and went directly to the street to make a phone call. Good guy, he came back directly in less than 5 minutes.
Looking at Xu Damao's expression, he looked very proud, not as anxious as he had just now.
