I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Ye Ming responded calmly: "I just arrived not long ago."

"Da Mao, what have you been busy with lately? Why don't I see you on weekdays?" Ye Ming asked.

"Deputy Director Qin, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm just busying myself for nothing."

In fact, Ye Ming seldom saw Xu Damao. It was not because Xu Damao was busy with some affairs, but because Xu Damao deliberately avoided Ye Ming.

In the past year, Xu Damao tried his best not to see Ye Ming. If they happened to meet occasionally, he would immediately avoid Ye Ming like a mouse seeing a cat.

Xu Damao was really scared by Ye Ming's punishment...

Looking at the respectful Xu Damao, Ye Ming couldn't help but flash a hint of boredom in his eyes.

Ye Ming waved his hand and said, "Da Mao, just do whatever you need to do."

Hearing this, Xu Damao felt relieved and quickly responded, "Yes, Deputy Director Qin."

After saying that, Xu Damao stepped aside and found an empty seat to sit down.

……

Twenty minutes later, all the guests who came to attend He Xiao's full moon banquet arrived. Seeing that the guests were in place, He Yuzhu instructed Ma Hua to let the chefs of the steel mill start preparing the food.

In an instant, several stoves in the corner of Lou Xiaoe's parents' yard lit up. Several chefs who came to help were busy chopping vegetables and cooking.

As time passed, one fragrant dish after another was served on the table.

The guests began to enjoy the food and drink.

Lou Xiao'e held He Xiao in her arms, and together with He Yuzhu, they toasted the guests at each table.

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e, who was holding He Xiao, came to the table of Ye Ming, Yi Zhonghai and others.

He Yuzhu filled the glasses of Yi Zhonghai, Ye Ming, Yan Fugui and others, then smiled and said to them: "Uncle One, Uncle Two, Uncle Three, Xiao Ming, thank you for coming to my son's full moon banquet. I toast you a glass."

After saying that, He Yuzhu drank it all in one gulp.

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Ye Ming smiled, drank it all, and said, "Brother Zhuzi, congratulations."

Yi Zhonghai and others also spoke up: "Zhu Zi, congratulations."

"Zhu Zi, congratulations."

After saying that, they drank the wine in their glasses one by one.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu opened another bottle of wine and filled the glasses for Ye Ming, Yi Zhonghai and others.

"Thank you all for your blessings."

"Uncle, Xiao Ming, you must eat and drink well."

Lou Xiao'e hugged He Xiao and agreed with a smile: "Xiao Ming, uncle, you must eat and drink well."

"Let's go to another table to toast."

Yi Zhonghai responded.

"Well, Zhuzi, Xiao'e, leave us alone, we are not outsiders."

"Go and toast to the guests at other tables."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Ye Ming continued, "Yes, Sister E, Brother Zhuzi, you guys take care of yourselves and don't worry about us."

After hearing what Ye Ming and the others said, Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu couldn't help but nod in agreement, then turned to other tables and began to toast.

After He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe left, Ran Qiuye, who was sitting next to Ye Ming, whispered to Ye Ming quietly.

"Ye Ming, have you ever thought about whether we can share a happy life like Sister E and Brother Zhuzi in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming tightly grasped Ran Qiuye's jade-soft hand and responded softly.

"Qiuye, I firmly believe that our future will be filled with happiness. I promise you this."

After hearing Ye Ming's answer and seeing the determination flashing in his eyes, a smile suddenly broke out on Ran Qiuye's beautiful face.

"Well, I believe you."

These few words were filled with her immense trust in Ye Ming. The two looked at each other and smiled, with a warm feeling in the air.

At the same time, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e, holding He Xiao in their arms, moved to the dining table where Xu Damao was.

He Yuzhu first filled Xu Damao's glass, then raised his own glass and said with a smile:

"Da Mao, thank you for attending my son's full moon party."

"Come, let us drink this cup together."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao, although extremely reluctant, still raised his glass and gently clinked it with He Yuzhu's, saying:

"Shazhu, congratulations."

The two of them drank the wine in their cups. Then, He Yuzhu filled their glasses with wine again and said earnestly:

"Da Mao, Brother Fei said to you, you should work harder."

"Spend less time hanging out outside and more time with Qin Huairu, so that you can have a boy and a girl soon."

"I am worried about you. What if you are really destined to be childless?"

Lou Xiao'e, who was holding He Xiao in her arms, took over the conversation at the right time and continued:

"Zhu Zi is right, Xu Damao, you should do more good deeds in the future, otherwise you will end up alone, what will you do then?"

The words of He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e were like sharp swords that pierced Xu Damao's heart. Although they were admonishing him, they were actually mocking Xu Damao for being childless.

Lou Xiao'e, in particular, was more sharp in her words, pointing out that Xu Damao was fickle and that if he did not do good deeds again, he would end up a lonely life.

Xu Damao was not a dull person, so he naturally noticed the sarcasm in He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe's words. Suddenly, his face turned as dark as ink, uglier than swallowing dog shit.

The guests at the same table all knew about the grievances between Xu Damao and He Yuzhu and his wife. Seeing Xu Damao almost vomiting blood due to the ridicule of Lou Xiaoe and He Yuzhu, they were all secretly happy.

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion being the celebration of He Xiao's full moon, the guests would have burst into laughter.

Whether in the steel rolling mill or in the compound, Xu Damao has a bad reputation and everyone's dislike for him is evident in words.

Seeing Xu Damao suffer a setback, everyone was happy to play the role of onlookers. Ye Ming, who was not far away, saw this scene and thought to himself.

"He Zhuzi and Sister Lou are really sharp in their words, but I really like listening to them."

Like everyone else, Ye Ming quietly acted as a bystander.

......

Xu Damao looked at the guests around him who were trying to hold back their laughter and endure the pain, and his face became increasingly ugly.

At this moment, he really wanted to go up and compete with He Yuzhu, and then scold the guests a few times to vent his anger.

But with Ye Ming present, Xu Damao really didn't dare.

There was no way out, Xu Damao could only suppress his inner anger.

Just when Xu Damao was about to vomit blood, He Yuzhu still said with a smile:

"Da Mao, the advice I just gave you is from the bottom of my heart. You have to listen to it."

As he spoke, He Yuzhu gently patted Xu Damao on the shoulder, acting like an elder who was concerned about him.

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, Lou Xiaoe immediately added:

"Zhu Zi, stop comparing yourself to Xu Damao all the time."

"If Xu Damao is not in good health, it will be useless even if I listen to your advice."

"A good blacksmith must have strong body, Xu Damao, I suggest you go get a physical check-up."

"If you discover the problem and treat it early, maybe it's still in time."

Well, if the previous cooperation between He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e was secretly mocking Xu Damao, then now they directly pressed Xu Damao's face to the ground and stepped on it hard.
