"It's settled then. Let's have a couple of drinks at noon seven days later." Nan Yi looked very pleased with himself, and then asked, "When will you and Doctor Ding have your wedding? I'm waiting for you."

"As for her, you'll have to wait for three years." Li Qinghe shook his head and smiled.

"You are so generous. You let her go to college. By the time she graduates, my child will be old enough to help with cooking." Nan Yi expressed his incomprehension of Li Qinghe's behavior.

Nowadays, continuing the family line and working to make a living are the mainstream. Allowing your wife to go to college and even supporting her is considered an anomaly in the eyes of many people.

Anyway, he doesn't have such a broad mind.

Li Qinghe laughed and said, "That's why you don't understand... Forget it, why am I telling you this? I'm just waiting to drink at your wedding."

......

Time passed quickly, and during this period, Nan Yi got married.

It wasn't a big celebration. Of course, no one dared to do so during this period. They just set up a simple table, invited Director Liu and his wife, as well as Li Qinghe, Cui Dake and other family members, and had a good drink together. That was the end of it.

After three turns and one ring, except for the watch, everything else was completed by Nan Yi, giving the woman enough face.

He also applied for married housing at the factory, and Director Liu specially reviewed and approved it very quickly. He now lives not in the factory dormitory, but in a building with a large area, which is enough for a family of four or five.

On that day, Li Qinghe finally met the girl, who was He Yuzhu's previous blind date and whose relationship was ruined by Xu Damao.

She is a pretty girl with a good temper, and she is a good at living.

Li Qinghe just felt it was quite strange. He was about to discuss the marriage with He Yuzhu, but Xu Damao interfered and gave Nan Yi the advantage.

If you knew, would you thank Xu Damao?

And the most important thing is that Li Qinghe finally found a new backer. Because of Director Zhang's relationship, he got to know the big boss above, named Wang Zhixing, who was said to be the second in command of the department. He was originally the head of the marshal's guard regiment, and went to the police department after retiring.

In fact, Li Qinghe felt that this experience was magical.

There was a problem with the circuit in the boss's house. Director Zhang happened to be reporting on his work. He wanted to build relationships with Li Qinghe, so he called the steel rolling mill and asked him to come over.

Li Qinghe used his later knowledge to talk about his plans for the development of the motherland, which won the favor of the big boss. After that, he took the opportunity to hold the thigh, especially the other party's wife. Li Qinghe was sweet-mouthed and could please people. The wife liked him very much and almost treated Li Qinghe as her son.

Now, Li Qinghe was finally relieved. Even if Director Li fell, he didn't have to worry about being implicated, because he could be protected with just a phone call.

......

During this period, perhaps because Xu Damao was not at home, things finally calmed down for a while.

A month later, due to frequent rain, it took Xu Damao a week longer than expected to complete the screening task.

I went to the factory to hand in the equipment and then dragged my tired body back home.

As soon as he entered the room, he fell headfirst onto the bed.

"Da Mao, is the mission completed?" Sun Xia handed over the water.

Xu Damao nodded with a groan and drank the water in one gulp. "Wife, you don't know how I have been through the past month. Life in the countryside is really not a life for human beings. There are so many mosquitoes that they almost eat people. I am very tired because I don't eat well and sleep well."

He had never been to the countryside at this time, so he had no idea it was so difficult.

I was already feeling a little weak, and now I feel even weaker.

If it weren't for the young widow comforting me at night, I would have collapsed long ago.

"Okay, you're back. I'll make you whatever you want to eat tonight. Just lie down and have a good rest."

How could Sun Xia not know that life in the countryside was hard, otherwise she would not have tried every means to marry Xu Damao.

She was too lazy to listen to Xu Damao's complaints. After all, she had grown up in such an environment since childhood, so there was nothing strange about it.

"Is there any meat left at home? Fry some for me to eat."

"I'll go buy some, but there's only three or two left."

"Three ounces is not enough!" Xu Damao jumped up and said, "Why don't you ask Li Qinghe for help? He must have it."

He hadn't had any meat for a month and was craving for it. Three taels of meat were not enough to fill his stomach.

"There isn't much money left at home. You haven't received your salary for last month. How can I ask someone for help? Besides, he is already a leader, how dare I..." Sun Xia said aggrievedly.

Since I moved into this family, I have almost never been short of meat.

Therefore, expenses naturally went up, leaving almost no money left each month, and savings were almost depleted.

Xu Damao's salary is barely enough for the two of them to live on. It is basically unrealistic to expect them to live a good life.

These days, she has started to live frugally.

"Like this..." Xu Damao had a headache.

It was not bad in the past. I could get mountain products from the countryside, which saved me a lot of money and I basically didn’t have to buy vegetables.

But ever since he was bullied by Liu Haizhong once, he didn't dare to bring anything back again.

"It's okay. Wait a minute. I'll go get some from Li Qinghe. I'll go get my salary tomorrow."

After giving instructions, he stood up and walked out, "You cook first, and I'll come back to cook."

Walking through the yard, I saw Li Qinghe lying on the rocking chair at the door, smoking.

When he saw Xu Damao, he greeted him, "Brother Damao, you're back. Wow, you've lost a lot of weight. Come, have a cigarette."

"Well...ok, have one."

Xu Damao originally wanted to ask Li Qinghe to get him some meat, but he thought that Li Qinghe was already a leader in the factory, and if he continued to be rude to him, he would be in trouble.
