Chapter 60: Xu Damao

Wang Quan finally set the wedding date for his eldest son as October 10, the 10th day of the ninth lunar month.

After returning, he went to his in-laws' house with his wife and eldest son to discuss the marriage further, mainly to make up for the regretful absence before, and of course, to get to know the family.

A few days later, Wang Sheng went home to get his household registration booklet and went to the street office to get a certificate so that he and Huang Ling could get married. After that, he had to go to the police station to transfer his household registration from Jiaodaokou Street, north of Di'anmen Street, to the Chinese Medicine Hospital, south of Di'anmen Street, which belongs to Jingshan Street.

Only by being legally married can you get a share of the pie in the hospital’s family building.

A dual-income family, with a vice president who acts as a matchmaker and an associate chief physician who acts as the father-in-law, both the hardware and software can reap rewards in the housing allocation wave at the end of October.

This is also the reason why Wang Sheng was in a hurry to get the certificate. Huang Ling said that it would be too late and not look good to get the certificate after getting married in October.

After seeing his third brother’s dormitory building, Wang Sheng didn’t have much attachment to the wing rooms in the courtyard.

But he still has to live here before the house is allocated.

However, after getting the marriage certificate, he and Huang Ling were already very affectionate in private.

After the couple got married, they naturally went to thank the vice president who acted as matchmaker. The thank-you gift for the matchmaker was a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, two packs of fruit candies, a cake, a small towel, a pair of old cloth shoes, and two pounds of pork leg meat, which was a very rich gift.

The vice president and Dr. Huang were old acquaintances and did not refuse. If he had not given a push, these two talented men and beautiful women would not have been able to get together so quickly.

But he still said:

"Old Huang, you know, I was asked by my friends in the art troupe to help me do this."

Of course Dr. Huang knew about this; the vice president had said it at the beginning, at the request of a friend.

"Now that this couple has become a couple, I have to reply to my friend and fulfill his trust. Haha!"

What the vice president actually said was, "I've finished my job, but you guys owe me a favor." Although the vice president didn't know who owed him a favor or how, he had to remind Lao Huang, after all, he and Lao Huang had been colleagues in the same hospital for many years.

Of course Dr. Huang also knew what was going on. His mother-in-law told him that the Huang family didn't need to worry about the art troupe anymore. The Wang family would take care of it and it would definitely be a great success.

My father-in-law is not well educated, but he is very good at handling things and speaking. My mother-in-law is even more capable. She can use the connections there to her advantage, so she will definitely be able to maintain it well.

He was still thinking about Wang Sheng's third brother, the young man named Wang Yuanchao. They chatted for a while after drinking that day. The young man had amazing comprehension. Chinese medicine is extensive and profound. If he inherits it well, he can become a Chinese medicine family! He really wanted to pass on the legacy of the Huang family, including his son-in-law's family.

Unfortunately, last time, when the in-laws and son-in-law came over, they didn’t invite the third child from their family to come along, which was a pity.

After exchanging pleasantries with the vice president for a while, Mr. Huang returned to his office, called his son-in-law, and gave him a small lesson. What else could he do?

My son-in-law still finds it difficult to distinguish the pulse conditions such as "floating, sinking", "long, short", "weak, strong", "smooth, astringent", etc., which really worries me.

Fortunately, his son-in-law could still sit down and listen to him carefully, but his son was not so lucky. He had a thorn on his butt and could not even sit still. He almost died when he was a child, but he refused to learn, which cut off his interest in the family tradition.

He does have students, but students and relatives are different.

He couldn't help but say:

"Your third brother, are you busy at work?"

Wang Sheng was stunned. How could he know if his third brother was busy? But recently, his third brother seemed to be at home every day. He said he was collecting folk songs at the Workers' Stadium?
"He usually hangs out around the Workers' Stadium recently. They are artists and need to collect folk songs."

Doctor Huang nodded. The Workers' Stadium was very busy this month because of the National Games. Many people went there to watch the fun and cheer for the athletes. Their hospital also sent several medical service teams.

"Since you are here to collect folk songs, you can also come to our hospital and tell them you miss him!" Wang Sheng was stunned by his father-in-law's straightforward answer. He didn't know how to answer and could only nod mechanically.

"Director Huang, there is an emergency and we need you to come over and take care of it!"

But a message came from the nurse.

Dr. Huang replied: "I'll be right over!"

As soon as his father-in-law left, Wang Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Those pulses were really difficult to feel. He could only feel a few kinds by touching, but the book said that there were 28 kinds!
He still has to continue studying diligently. Thanks to his father-in-law's care, he has extra study time at work. This happy worry is really worrying.
-
But it is said that early that morning, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e had an argument because Xu Damao stole Lou Xiao'e's stockings and gave them to Deputy Factory Director Li's wife.

Could Xu Damao do such a cool thing?

Of course!
Lou Xiao'e took a pair of stockings from her mother, intending to bring them back to seduce Xu Damao. This trick of her mother worked especially well on her father. But her mother had only bought one pair of stockings before, so she couldn't take someone else's favorite.

But later her mother bought three more, two flesh-colored and one black, so she took one.

Her mother told her that it cost 200 yuan each and was extremely precious, so she couldn't wear it everyday. Last time, she didn't pay attention and tore one of them, which made Tan Yali very upset for a long time. Finally, she asked a skilled embroiderer to embroider a hairpin flower to repair it. It was like a tattoo, but it had a different kind of beauty.

Lou Xiao'e took it home excitedly, washed up, prepared a table of food and wine, put on some light makeup, changed into her cheongsam uniform, and brought a tape recorder from home to play low-pitched music, perfectly replicating her mother's set at home.

As a result, Xu Damao came back with his eyes brightened and he moved his hands, but that was all.

He ate and drank like a cow chewing a peony, and even scolded her in a low voice, saying, "What the hell are you wearing!"

Lou Xiao'e felt so wronged!

I could only go back to the house and change my clothes, shoes and socks.

Xu Damao always wanted to make progress. Their Propaganda Department was under the charge of Deputy Director Li Huaide, so he often ran around to Deputy Director Li's house. However, many of the things he gave were just small gadgets collected from the countryside and were not valuable.

Director Li’s wife once told Director Li that there were particularly exquisite stockings sold outside, which were thin and transparent. Not only did they beautify the skin, but they also made the skin feel like it was breathing.

How could Director Li not know about this? His wife saw this thing once and kept talking to him about it as if she had lost her soul.

He is willing to please his wife, because his wife is his biggest backer!
But he had never seen that thing before, how could he buy it? Where could he buy it?
Every time Xu Damao heard of this thing, he thought of the time Lou Xiao'e wore it.

So I went home and asked, wow, such a handful of stockings cost 200 yuan!
It’s worth a small yellow croaker!
That’s it. Sorry, most people can’t buy it, or they don’t know where to buy it at all.

Anyway, Lou Xiao'e got this from her mother.

Xu Damao is a bare-legged person and doesn't feel anything about it, but the factory director's wife wants it very much, and it's what he wants but cannot get!
After he dealt with his wife, he took the opportunity to carefully organize and fold the stockings while she was washing and cleaning up.

Lou Xiao'e was very careful in putting on and taking off her clothes. Xu Damao checked them carefully to make sure there was no damage or hair on them. Then he put them away and carefully wrapped them up with a silk handkerchief.

He wants to offer flowers to Buddha!

As expected, Mrs. Li was extremely surprised.

Xu Damao boasted about the value and scarcity of this thing, saying that he had managed to get one with great difficulty.

Coincidentally, Deputy Director Li was a fan of stockings and was immediately obsessed with his wife's thighs. The old couple actually became loving again.

With the strong suggestion of Mrs. Li, who always remembers the people who dug the well, Xu Damao made great contributions. Not only was he promoted from an eighth-level projectionist to a seventh-level projectionist, his salary also increased from 35 yuan to 5 yuan. He also moved from a clerk in the Propaganda Department to an officer!
This is a critical step in your career! You can then sprint towards the position of section chief!
