"Brother Damao, you can't say this casually. I don't know what kind of gossip will arise if it gets out. Yu Haitang and I are just ordinary colleagues. He came to ask me about this on his way to lunch." Li Qinghe quickly denied it. He really didn't want to have any extraordinary relationship with Yu Haitang.
Yu Haitang's personality is really not suitable for this era, she is too strong. If she were in the future, she would definitely be a beauty with countless men to boot, but now the storm is about to rise, and it is not a wise choice to have anything to do with her.
Xu Damao didn't care. He liked anything as long as it was pretty.
"Actually, Yu Haitang is not bad. There are many people in our factory who like her. She seems to have a good impression of you. Don't you have any thoughts about her?"
The reason he said this was because he knew very well that Yu Haitang looked down on him. Not to mention that he was married, even if he wasn't married, she would probably look down on him as a projectionist.
Although Li Qinghe is just an electrician, he is the orphan of a martyr, and he is tall and handsome. He has many advantages over Xu Damao.
"Brother Damao, stop talking. Yu Haitang is too ambitious and not a good match for her." Li Qinghe shook his head. If it was more than ten years later, he wouldn't mind marrying Yu Haitang, but not now. He was afraid of falling into the hands of this woman.
"Well, that's true. She is really ambitious and most people can't calm her down. Well, let's stop talking and go eat." Xu Damao smacked his lips.
"Okay." Li Qinghe agreed with a smile. After all, it was Xu Damao who treated him, so he would waste it if he didn't eat.
…
“Tsk tsk.”
The two of them walked into a restaurant near the factory. Li Qinghe couldn't help smacking his lips and sighed that the restaurant lived up to its reputation.
I saw a slogan on the wall: Do not beat customers without reason.
"Hurry up, you guys are taking so long to order food, if you don't want to eat, leave now."
While Li Qinghe was admiring the slogan, the waiter's impatient voice rang out, making him experience the charm of the unique service of the times again.
In this period, waiters were like bosses, with no sense of service at all. They would slap anyone who dared to say too much. After all, they had a stable job and got paid, so it didn't matter how much they worked. It would be even better if the customers got angry and didn't want to eat, as it would save them trouble.
Xu Damao was familiar with this scene, and even after being scolded, he said politely: "Okay, okay, that's all. Thank you, comrade."
Hehe~
Li Qinghe felt helpless. This slogan was really appropriate for the situation. He didn't know how many unlucky people were beaten before the slogan was posted. After all, it had been posted, so it must have happened before and was banned.
He planned to behave himself and leave the matter of dealing with the waiters to Xu Damao. It was not because he was afraid of being beaten, but mainly because all restaurants were state-owned and all the people working there were honest workers. If he started fighting with them and really knocked down seven or eight of them, even if he was right, he would no longer be in the right.
People are not afraid of affecting their business, but are afraid of good business. Anyway, no matter how much they work, their salary will not increase by a penny, and if they do not work at all, their salary will not decrease by a penny. It would be better if they don't come to rest.
After taking the menu, the waiter snorted and said calmly, "Okay, just wait."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Li Qinghe and his companions waited for half an hour after ordering, but there was no sign of the food being served. Xu Damao asked once during the meal, but was directly rejected, "Why are you asking so many questions? The food will be served to you when it is ready. Wait."
Fortunately, after more than ten minutes, the dishes finally came up. "Come on, brother, I've eaten this dish several times, it tastes good, eat it quickly before it gets cold."
Li Qinghe tasted it and found that it tasted much worse than what was in later times, but it was very oily and much better than the big pot meals in the cafeteria. He hadn't eaten meat for several days, but now he felt his appetite had been whetted.
Xu Damao took a few bites to fill his stomach and raised his glass. "Come on, brother, let's go. I have you to thank for letting me escape last night."
Li Qinghe picked up the cup, clinked it with his, and drank it all in one gulp.
Xu Damao was about to fill his glass, but he quickly reached out and covered the cup with his hand, "Brother Damao, this one cup is enough. I have to go to work in the afternoon, and I'm an electrician, so I have to stay awake."
Xu Damao slapped his forehead and said, "Hey, blame me, blame me. I forgot."
"Brother Damao, I will drink a few cups of tea with you instead of wine."
After a few drinks, Xu Damao started talking, and he could talk about all kinds of gossip in the factory at will, even more than those old women, because almost all of it was about women.
Li Qinghe found it a little funny. You don't even have this ability, but you still care so much about gossip about women?
Li Qinghe felt relaxed after the meal and returned to the office, collapsing comfortably in his chair.
Crunch~
The office door was pushed open, and Yu Haitang poked his head in, "Qinghe, let me tell you, Xu Damao is not a good person, you shouldn't get too close to him."
At noon, he saw that Li Qinghe and Xu Damao were very familiar with each other, and he was afraid that Li Qinghe would learn bad things from them.
"Hmm? Brother Damao? I'm afraid that won't work. He and I are from the same compound. We see each other all the time. I can't pretend not to know him, right?" Li Qinghe spread his hands helplessly.
Yu Haitang didn't know what to say anymore. If he said too much, people would think he was gossiping behind people's backs. "Okay, you just have to be careful."
After saying that, he closed the door and left.
Li Qinghe stretched and decided to take another nap.
"Qinghe, Qinghe."
Li Qinghe felt someone pushing him again in his sleep. He opened his eyes and saw that it was He Yuzhu. "Brother Zhu, what are you doing? Is there something wrong with the kitchen circuit?"
"No, it's almost time to get off work. I just wanted to thank you for last night. Don't cook tonight. Just come to my house. I'll treat you to a drink."
Li Qinghe was delighted. He didn't expect that someone would take care of lunch and dinner today, and they were all delicious dishes. "Okay, I'll be waiting for it."
…
When I got off work and returned to the yard, I saw Lou Xiao'e helping the deaf old lady walk in the yard as soon as I entered the door.
Li Qinghe walked over with a frown on his face, and when he got closer, he put on a smile and said, "Old lady, how are you?"
He actually had no opinion about the deaf old lady. Although she didn't have a family full of loyal and brave people as rumored, she was just an ordinary old lady. It was only because Yi Zhonghai took care of her and she was old that everyone in the hospital gave in to her and took care of her. They were also afraid that if something happened to the old lady, she would be blackmailed. It was not that they were really afraid that she had any background.
However, in the original novel, she schemed against Lou Xiao'e and made her give birth to a son for He Yuzhu. Now that Lou Xiao'e is Li Qinghe's woman, he naturally will not ignore it.
If it weren't for this old lady, Lou Xiao'e could have started a new life in Gangcheng, and perhaps she wouldn't have returned to the imperial capital and been sucked dry by the people in the compound.
Qin Huairu would not have the chance to use Lou Xiaoe's money to gain fame for herself. Her family lived happily by sucking Lou Xiaoe's blood, but Lou Xiaoe was still like an outsider in the end.
