Chapter 416: Meeting Xu Damao in the Tavern
"No need, Mom, Tang Yanling and I have split up!"
Banggeng felt bad when he saw his old mother taking out a bowl of eggs that she was reluctant to eat.
I am already an adult, but my family is still so poor. People don't even want my gloves, so how could they care about these eggs?
"What? Broke up? What happened? Didn't you come to my house a few days ago?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang was stunned.
She was very satisfied with Tang Yanling. This girl was not only pretty but also gentle. If they got married, her own father would not suffer any loss and he might be very nice to her in the future.
These days, she had been thinking about getting Banggeng and Tang Yanling married as soon as possible. Who would have thought that after just a few days, they would break up?
"Bang Geng, did you make the girl angry? Hurry up and give her some delicious food, and she will be fine after some comfort!"
Jia Zhang hurriedly asked with concern.
Now the economic gap between households is getting bigger and bigger, and she doesn't have any advantages. She is afraid that Banggeng will miss Tang Yanling and never find such a good girl again.
"mom……"
Bang Geng opened his mouth, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"Her mother disagrees, thinking that I don't have a formal job. I have to find a job first!"
After these words were spoken, Jia Zhang didn't know what to say.
Work is indeed their family’s weak point.
Especially as a man without a job, no girl would be interested in him. It is understandable that the other party would think so.
Blinking her eyes, Jia Zhang said,
"That's great. How about I go to the steel mill and talk to you? After all, it's a state-owned unit. If you can get a position there, it can be considered a job!"
When Jia Dongxu was injured and died in the steel mill, the factory leaders found her a job in the steel mill to provide financial support for his family. But now she is old and has long left the steel mill.
But Banggeng is still young. If he can get a job in a factory, he can earn some money.
"I'm not going!"
Bang Geng shook his head.
"The steel mill is about to close down now. How long can I stay there? I have to figure out a way myself!"
He couldn't stand Jia Zhang's longing gaze, so he waved his hand, turned around and left the courtyard again.
Bang Geng was broken up by Tang Yanling and the New Year was approaching. He was feeling very depressed and while walking, he came to a tavern under Zhengyangmen.
After all these years, the tavern is still open and quite popular.
Banggeng was feeling depressed, so he walked in directly, ordered two taels of Erguotou, then sat down and drank alone.
"Hey, isn't this a good joke? Why are you drinking here alone?"
Not far away, Xu Damao, who was drinking by himself, suddenly noticed the stick stem and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Now Xu Damao has no wife or daughter and has made a lot of money. He comes to the tavern every now and then to drink a few glasses of wine, and his life is pretty good.
But he didn't expect that Banggeng, at such a young age, would come to this place.
"Brother Xu?"
Bang Geng, who had just taken a sip of wine, was now blushing from the spiciness when he saw Xu Damao, and felt even more embarrassed.
Seeing his embarrassment, Xu Damao couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't just drink, come over here and have some snacks!"
Xu Damao has become a different person after being enlightened by He Daqing. He can see that Banggeng is in trouble and since he is bored, he might as well find someone to chat with.
