Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 210 Xu Damao Transfers Job

Li Jia, Xu Damao and Wang Tianchang came back very late, and everyone had finished their meal when they came back.

Fortunately, the Li family had left some food for them. After riding their bicycles all the way, they were really hungry and started to eat without gulping down the food with their bowls in hand.

"Master, I heard that Yi Juehu adopted a son. Is this true? As soon as I came back, Yan Fugui caught me and scolded me, and even wanted to exchange this news for my mushrooms." Xu Damao asked.

"It seems so! Zhuzi just came over and told me that he adopted a child, but he is only eight years old. The funny thing is that he named him Yi Zhien. He is really trying to cover up the truth." Li Kangri said casually.

"Hahaha," Xu Damao laughed, "This bastard is really something. He doesn't know how to repay a favor, right? He doesn't even know how to find a smaller one. He's just afraid of the trouble and just wants to get something for nothing!"

"You're right, but I think people should be sincere in return of sincerity. His approach is unreliable. But it also depends on the child. I guess Yi Zhonghai will continue to brainwash the child in the future, and repaying kindness will be the child's belief in the future." Li Kangri analyzed.

"Master is wise. Just wait and see how I make fun of him in the future. I will teach him to be grateful to his father and repay his kindness." Xu Damao said with a smile.

"You, by the way, how is my dad doing in his studies?" Li Kangri asked.

"Haha, it's hard for me to say. I think I've taught you enough. You can ask Uncle Wang!" Xu Damao said to Wang Tianchang.

"Dad, have you learned it?"

“It’s okay! I think there seems to be no problem for me to play it alone now. I have played it several times by myself and there was no problem.” Wang Tianchang said confidently.

"See, I told you that Uncle Wang does this. So, we will transfer the job tomorrow. From now on, you will be the only projectionist in the steel mill. I don't want to do it anymore. I can't make much money anyway." Xu Damao said with a smile.

"Are you planning to leave?" Li Kangri asked doubtfully.

"How could that be? I just want to take a break. Besides, Master, didn't you say that there are still a few years left?" Xu Damao said.

"Then what are you doing?"

"Give birth to a child, and learn things from you. After I learn well, I will go over there to realize my ambitions. Master, is that okay?" Xu Damao said pitifully.

"What do you want to learn? Your skills are very good now. I estimate that four or five pillars are not your match." Li Kangri said.

"Hehe, Master, I don't want to fight, I just want to learn some skills. I really want to learn your medical skills and fortune-telling. I heard that people there are very superstitious, so I want to learn fortune-telling. If you can teach me medical skills, it would be best if you can teach me both." Xu Damao said with a smile.

"You are greedy, but you can't learn medical skills. This is not something that can be learned overnight."

"So fortune telling is possible?" Xu Damao said with a smile.

"I can teach you this, but whether it's accurate or not is not up to me. It depends on you. If you make a mistake in the calculation and get chopped to death in the future, don't blame me." Li Kangri said.

"Is that so? But I still want to learn it. It doesn't matter anyway. If I can't get it right, I'll just treat it as a game." Xu Damao said.

"Okay, in addition to fortune-telling, I will also teach you some things before you leave, some knowledge about how to survive over there. When you become rich, you must come back and honor me."

"Really?" Xu Damao said happily. He now had blind faith in Li Kangri.

"Really? Then you can follow me from now on. Follow me to the factory, and I will pay you a salary."

"Haha, Master, can salary be replaced by medicine?" Xu Damao suggested.

"You, just think about that and talk about it later!" Li Kangri said speechlessly.

Early the next morning, Xu Damao and Wang Tianchang went to the factory together. With the help of Li Huaide, the procedures were completed quickly.

After completing the formalities, Xu Damao stayed in Li Kangri's office until noon and then went back to the courtyard to see his son.

As soon as I entered the door, Yan Fugui came to block my way again. He was still upset about yesterday's news that he didn't get the mushrooms!

"Da Mao, you're back! How is it? Do you know now that I was right?" Yan Fugui asked.

"Yes, that's right. Yi Tubao found a son named Yi Zhien. Is he grateful?" Xu Damao said with a smile.

"Hehe, you see, Second Uncle's information is accurate, right?" Yan Fugui said with a smile.

Seeing Yan Fugui's dead look, Xu Damao knew that he was still thinking about the string of mushrooms from last night! So he smiled and said, "Uncle, I can't give you the mushrooms. I'll make chicken stewed with mushrooms for my son at noon today."

"Da Mao! You see, I'm having a hard time. I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Wouldn't it be a waste of energy to tell you the news? Forget it this time, but next time, remember to remember me and bring back those mushrooms to share with me so that my child can eat some meat." Yan Fugui calculated.

"Second uncle, please don't look for me from now on. I won't show movies anymore!" Xu Damao said with a smile.

"You got promoted?" Yan Fugui asked puzzledly.

"That's not the case. My dad has transferred his job to my master and father-in-law. From now on, I will no longer work at the steel mill. Haha, are you disappointed? In the future, if you need something, you can go to my master and father-in-law. I just don't know if you dare to do so?" Xu Damao said with a wicked grin.

When Yan Fugui heard Xu Damao's words, his first feeling was that Xu Damao was joking.

"I say, Damao, if you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. There's no need to make up lies to tease me, your uncle." Yan Fugui said dissatisfiedly.

"Do not believe?"

"Do not believe!"

"I say, Second Uncle, you've been guarding the door every day, but didn't you see me taking my master and father-in-law in and out during this period? Do you think I was taking him out for fun? I was teaching him a skill, and now he has learned it. I just completed the procedures this morning. If you don't believe me, just wait and see whether I go to work in the future." Xu Damao said.

After hearing what Xu Damao said, Yan Fugui finally understood. He had not thought about it in this way before. Now that Xu Damao said this, he finally understood that this relationship was planned in advance! However, he still didn't believe it. "Really?" Yan Fugui asked, "Are you crazy? That's a good job. What are you going to do in the future?"

"How about being my master's follower?" Xu Damao asked with a smile.

"So you don't live like this anymore?"

"Second uncle, who is my father-in-law? Need money? Me." Xu Damao said proudly.

"That's right, that's right. Haha, you guys have caught up with all the good things. You got the job just by asking for it. To be honest, I really envy your master. He has a good family background, eats well, and has a filial disciple like you. I really envy him." Yan Fugui said sourly.

"Second uncle, don't be envious. My master's abilities are not something you can envy. In my heart, my master is a god-like figure. I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go see my Xu Xiao."

After saying that, Xu Damao ran away.
