Courtyard House: New Life, New Silly Zhu

The two chatted and drank, thoroughly enjoying themselves. This greatly worried Xu Damao, who was standing nearby.

"Gentlemen, you seem to be having a great time chatting. Let me pour you some drinks." Xu Damao couldn't resist and stood up abruptly. Although he staggered a bit, he forced himself to stay alert and poured drinks for the two of them.

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao with suspicion. Why was this silly Mao being so kind?

But he didn't mind; he was having a great time chatting with the technician.

"Comrade, it's a deal then. Next time I'll grill those skewers especially for you. What do you think?"

"No problem, absolutely no problem! Chef He's dishes are all so delicious, his grilled skewers must be even better."

The two chatted and ate their kebabs, while Xu Damao anxiously watched them drink, sipping their wine in small, leisurely sips.

Finally, Xu Damao gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, picked up his wine glass, filled it to the brim, and then came to the two of them with the wine glass in hand.

"Zhu Zi, and the technician, come on, let me toast you both to our enduring friendship!" Xu Damao started talking about friendship, making conversation as he was trying to keep the conversation going.

Of course, the main issue was what they were talking about to eat. He didn't know how to describe it, since even though his family was well-off, they couldn't eat meat every day.

"Come on, Comrade, let's all drink to that!" The three of them raised their glasses together and downed the drink in one gulp.

Then Xu Damao started his own crazy antics.

He drank a glass of wine with the two of them, and then specially toasted He Yuzhu. In addition, the technician also toasted He Yuzhu, so it was equivalent to one person drinking with two people.

Xu Damao was cunning; he only poured a tiny bit of wine into his own glass, but filled the glasses of the two of them to the brim.

Xu Damao's only intention now is to embarrass He Yuzhu and salvage some of his own reputation.

Seeing this, the technician grinned wickedly and tried to get He Yuzhu drunk.

After He Yuzhu finished a bottle of wine with the two of them, he also realized something was wrong. It seemed that the two of them were deliberately trying to get him drunk.

Can this be tolerated? Of course not! So He Yuzhu took the initiative to strike.

"Come, come, Comrade, Xu Damao. Let's have a drink to celebrate the Soviet experts who have come all this way to build our country."

"Come, come, let's raise another glass to our shared socialism."

"Another drink, this time to our socialist friendship, cheers!"

In short, He Yuzhu started toasting in the name of socialism, drinking one glass after another, while Xu Damao eventually slumped against the table, completely exhausted.

The technician was also a bit tipsy, and seeing this, He Yuzhu knew it was time to let someone else take over. So he stood up and walked over to Director Zhang.

"Director, that technician has had enough to drink. We can let our other technicians come up and chat with them now." He Yuzhu still remembered the main purpose of this banquet.

Director Zhang nodded, stood up, and walked directly outside. After a while, many technicians came over. Many of them were regulars at their third canteen. He Yuzhu had only met them once before, so he nodded to them as a greeting.

Director Zhang then led him to another table.

Previously, this technician was like an obstacle in his position; if they didn't get him drunk, Director Zhang couldn't very well take the others to drink with the Soviet experts. It was a matter of social etiquette.

Meanwhile, He Yuzhu, seemingly unaffected by any external aids, started drinking with the others. He gulped down the liquor, his face flushed slightly, but he clearly had a high capacity for alcohol.

Director Zhang was astonished and thought to himself that this kid could really drink; he would definitely have to get him to drink with him sometime in the future.

He Yuzhu didn't care what his director was thinking. At that moment, when he saw the experts and technicians, he called them "Comrade-in-Chief," chatted with them, talked about food, and poured them drinks.

The small canteen was bustling with activity for a time.

At that moment, the door to the private room was secretly opened a crack, and Li Huaide peeked inside through the gap.

He had just seen the cafeteria director lead the technicians into the private room, and Li Huaide knew that the matter was settled.

So after a brief pause, Li Huaide looked inside through the door of the private room.

Looking at the table full of empty wine bottles, Li Huaide was secretly alarmed.

He was from the military, or rather, most of these factory leaders were from the military, so they usually drank very heavily. But no one expected that He Yuzhu could drink even more than them.

After walking around the tables once, He Yuzhu saw that it was almost done and said to the cafeteria manager.

"Director, I see everyone has had enough to drink, and there's nothing else for me to do, so I'll be leaving now."

The cafeteria manager nodded, smiled, and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder.

"Zhu Zi, we're so lucky to have you here tonight, otherwise we would have been in real trouble."

"Director, you're joking. It's all about serving the people."

Having finished his greetings, He Yuzhu walked outside.

When I passed by Xu Damao, I originally wanted to just leave, but seeing him like this, I figured if I really left, no one would care.

He Yuzhu thought about it and decided to just take him back with him.

Although Xu Damao is cunning, despicable, and shameless, he still has some basic principles.

At least when He Yuzhu watched the TV series, he felt that Xu Damao was a decent person.

After all, Xu Damao's actions can be compared to others. When working under Li Huaide, Xu Damao was merely somewhat arrogant, but he did not harm anyone.

In contrast, when Liu Haizhong reached the same position, the things he did were simply unbearable to look at.

However, he also had a major flaw: he stole He Yuzhu's blind date.

Therefore, He Yuzhu felt that he should also steal Xu Damao's blind date in the future, so that it would be fair.

He Yuzhu carried Xu Damao as if he were carrying an extra-long sack, simply and easily, with his feet dragging on the ground.

I wonder if Xu Damao's feet will hurt when he wakes up tomorrow morning?

Dong dong dong

He Yuzhu knocked on Xu Damao's door.

"Who is it?" Xu Xiaoling's voice came from inside the house.

He Yuzhu nodded when he saw that Xu Xiaoling hadn't opened the door. This girl was indeed clever and knew how to get along with Yushui.

"It's me, your brother Zhu Zi."

The door creaked open.

"Hey, Brother Zhu, is there something you need? Huh? Brother?" After greeting him, Xu Xiaoling saw Xu Damao being carried on He Yuzhu's shoulder.

"Your brother got drunk today, and your parents aren't home?" He Yuzhu asked Xu Xiaoling as he carried Xu Damao into the house.

"No, my parents are out busy today." Xu Xiaoling said, sounding a little aggrieved.

After all, there's no one at home today, and it's already 10 o'clock.
