While Liu Haizhong was beating the child in the house, the second aunt also arrived at the gate of the compound.
Yan Fugui, who was squatting at the gate of the compound, saw Second Aunt actually running to the gate, and asked in surprise: "No, doesn't his Second Aunt need to cook at home?"
When the second aunt heard Yan Fugui say this, she replied: "I have already prepared the meal, I am just waiting for someone!"
"Waiting for someone? Are there any guests coming to your house today?" Yan Fugui asked with some confusion. As far as he knew, Liu Haizhong's family didn't have any relatives in the city, and given the couple's character, why would they invite anyone to dinner?
With a lot of doubts in his mind, Yan Fugui asked.
The second aunt rolled her eyes and said, "What's wrong? Can't my family have a dinner party?"
"No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that it's not a festival, and there's nothing big going on. Why did your family think of inviting us to dinner?" Yan Fugui continued to ask with some confusion.
Seeing that Yan Fugui really didn't know about this, the second aunt immediately took out a condescending attitude and asked, "What's wrong? His third uncle, you don't know?"
"What do you know?" Yan Fugui was even more confused this time. What was there that he should know?
The second aunt continued to speak to Yan Fugui in a condescending manner: "Why? Don't you know?"
"Forget it, I'll tell you. Today, Xu Damao was announced as the head of the publicity section in the factory. Our old Liu, who is the boss, has to come out and take a look."
This matter has indeed not reached Yan Fugui's ears, mainly because Yan Jiecheng has not returned yet. Naturally, no one will gossip about this matter to Yan Fugui.
"Ah? Are you telling the truth?"
"Xu Damao can actually become an official? And a section chief?" Yan Fugui asked in disbelief.
At this time, the second aunt saw Yan Jiecheng coming back from afar, pointed at him and said, "Why don't you go ask your son? He will definitely know."
When Yan Fugui saw his son coming back, he simply stopped asking the second aunt. He felt in his heart that the second aunt couldn't explain the matter clearly.
"Jie Cheng, come here and I want to ask you something."
When Yan Jiecheng walked to the door, Yan Fugui pulled Yan Jiecheng into the yard.
"You're asking about this. It's true. It was announced over the loudspeaker in the factory today. It was read several times. I heard it clearly. There's no mistake about it." Yan Jiecheng replied with certainty.
Yan Fugui frowned and asked, "No, how could Xu Damao become a leader? Isn't he just a movie projector? How is this possible? Tell me!"
"How would I know? I didn't hear any rumors before. Who would have thought that Xu Damao, such a wicked guy, could become the leader of the factory." Yan Jiecheng was also puzzled. When he thought of who could be the leader, he did not think of Xu Damao. Xu Damao had nothing to do with being a leader.
But the fact now is that Xu Damao has become the leader, and Yan Jiecheng has to accept it even if he doesn't want to.
Yan Fugui touched his chin thoughtfully and said, "I thought so. Liu Haizhong used to look down on Xu Damao, but now that he heard that Xu Damao has become an official, Liu Haizhong actually took the initiative to treat him to a meal."
"Liu Haizhong invited Xu Damao to dinner?" Yan Jiecheng also found it a little unbelievable when he heard this.
"That's right. When you came in just now, didn't you see Liu Haizhong's wife waiting at the gate of the compound? She was waiting for Xu Damao to come back." Yan Fugui said with some contempt.
On the surface, Yan Fugui certainly looked down on Liu Haizhong, who was a man of change, but deep down he also wanted to get some benefits from Xu Damao.
Yan Fugui felt uncomfortable when he thought about the many benefits that Xu Damao would gain if he became a leader. Seeing other people gain benefits made Yan Fugui feel more uncomfortable than if he had lost something.
But soon Yan Fugui's eyes lit up and he said to Yan Jiecheng: "Oh, yes, this Xu Damao has become a leader, we have to help him celebrate."
"Ah? What did you say?" Yan Jiecheng wondered if he had heard it wrong. Yan Fugui actually chose to help Xu Damao to celebrate.
"Dad, you're not going to treat us, are you? If you're just going to make some cabbage stew, you might as well not treat us. It's embarrassing enough." Yan Jie Chengdu had already thought of what kind of food his father would serve if he were to treat everyone to a meal.
When Yan Fugui heard this, he shook his head and said, "What are you thinking? Why would your father invite Xu Damao to dinner? He didn't become an official for me. Besides, I can't get any help from him in this matter. It's just a dream for you to ask me to treat you to dinner!"
Yan Jiecheng heard what Yan Fugui said and nodded. This was his stingy father. However, Yan Jiecheng continued to ask, "If you don't treat us, how can you help Xu Damao clear it up?"
"Hey, isn't this easy?"
"Didn't you see when you came in just now? Um, isn't Liu Haizhong's family going to help Xu Damao celebrate? I can just go over with a glass of wine. I'm personally helping Xu Damao celebrate, which is already giving Xu Damao face."
"Why!"
Yan Jiecheng finally understood that his father was still his father and hadn't changed at all. He said he was helping Xu Damao celebrate, but in fact he was using the excuse of celebrating for Xu Damao to go to Liu Haizhong's house for free food and drinks.
Anyway, Liu Haizhong wanted to help Xu Damao celebrate, so he couldn't just chase him away if he went over there.
"It's up to you. Just wait. I'm going home." Yan Jiechengcai didn't want to bother with these trivial matters and let Yan Fugui deal with it on his own.
Yan Fugui waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter. It has nothing to do with you."
After Yan Jiecheng left, Yan Fugui did not go out again, but lay on his window, waiting to see when Xu Damao and Second Aunt would come back.
After a long time, Yan Fugui only saw Second Aunt and Liu Haizhong coming in and out of the window, but he never saw Xu Damao.
Liu Haizhong and the second aunt naturally had not eaten yet. Like Yan Fugui, they were waiting for Xu Damao to come back with empty stomachs.
But at this time, Xu Damao was already drunk outside and lost his mind. When his companions saw that Xu Damao could not return home, they simply dragged him to their homes to take a nap.
It’s just a pity that the people at home waited until midnight and didn’t have any food to eat.
