Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

I took on another task. But it wasn't that difficult. Xu Damao informed Hu Wanxi and asked Hu Yuanxi for help. He also sponsored 100 boxes of instant noodles to Kyoto No. 3 Middle School. He managed to transfer "biological mother" Ye Lin in one week. The dormitory assigned to Ye Lin by the school was actually a one-bedroom apartment.

After Hu Wanxi explained, I realized that Xu Damao's move was a lucky coincidence. A teacher from No. 3 Middle School was transferred to the Haidian District Education Bureau. It was a coincidence. The positions were swapped, and the dormitories were also swapped. Both parties were very satisfied. The school got 100 boxes of instant noodles for free, one box for each teacher and staff member, and there was still some left.

Ye Lin received a transfer order from the school before the end of the semester. She quickly completed the formalities, handed over the dormitory, and reported to No. 3 Middle School. She took over a one-bedroom apartment on the second floor of a five-story dormitory building on Fuguo Street that was converted from the original bungalow dormitory.

"Comrade Xu, hello, I'm Ye Lin. Where do you live? I wanted to come and thank you."

"Teacher Ye, have you finished the formalities? Well, you can wait for me at Fuguo Street. If you don't look for me, I will still look for you. I will come to pick you up."

Xu Damao was very happy. Being able to help his "biological mother" was a kind of fate that would help him both in his heart and in his practice. Most importantly, she wanted to bring her "biological mother" to live with her because Zhidi, Zhilu and Lou Wenting would be home to take the college entrance examination next year. Professional matters should be left to professionals. Coincidentally, Ye Lin's child was still in her infancy and was usually left at home in Dongsishitiao, where someone would take care of him. Killing two birds with one stone.

As a result, after Ye Lin arrived at Dongsi, after strong requests from Xu Damao and Gu Meifang, she really agreed and moved into the Xu family temporarily, and took on the responsibility of being a tutor for the children.

Xu's residence on Dongsishitiao had two rooms vacated for the west wing, one for Teacher Ye's living room and the other for a classroom.

Ye Lin could not accept the fact that she was living and eating at the Xu family, with no rent or daily expenses. However, Xu Damao's words, "The golden rules are the true teacher, and they are like the spring breeze in my house," dispelled her uneasiness and she gladly accepted the arrangement of the Xu family. But she was still thinking: It seems that I can't escape dealing with the Xu family in this life.

When Ye Lin saw the ceremonies given by the Xu family's children to pay respect to their teachers, she was really confused.

Xu Zhidi, Xu Zhilu, Xu Zhiyue, Lou Wenting and Lou Wenming have five children.

"Comrade Xu, are these all your children?"

"Yes, I have many children, so Mr. Ye, you can stay here without any worries. You can use the dormitory assigned by the school as a rest room at noon. If I don't pay you, I will take advantage of you. Besides, my eldest grandson and youngest son will also rely on you for education in the future. I am a rough man, so I would like to ask you to help educate the children. Mr. Ye, please accept my greetings and those of the children. You deserve it."

After saying this, he invited Ye Lin to sit in the room which was converted from the west wing into a classroom, and Xu Damao personally taught the child the etiquette of a teacher.

Ye Lin's eyes were filled with tears and she was truly moved.

Gu Meifang suddenly had a baby, a girl named Ye Yunyi. The name is really good, and Xu Damao is a good teacher who teaches Chinese and is familiar with classics, history, and literature. I don't want to write that my "biological mother" will not see me in my life, but my own child.

In the fifth sleeper car of the T271 train from Kyoto to Jilin, Xu Damao and Fang Xiaoru went to Jilin as planned, preparing to find a way to enter Changbai Mountain from Jilin.

"Xu Damao, my daughter called me a few days ago and said she won't be back for the summer vacation. She has already applied to the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and will go to school in New York in August. Aren't you worried about her being alone in the East?"

"Lady, you have to believe in Shuying's ability. Don't we still have Steven in New York? You didn't say that you had no objection to your daughter dating Steven. You said that yourself."

"Well, I just said that at the time. After all, he is more than ten years older. Besides, Steven received a Western education. Isn't there a big gap between his ideas and yours?"

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Some things should just be left to nature. There is no need to worry too much."

"By the way, there's a teacher living in your house. Is he your relative?"

"It was a coincidence that we met. Jianjian and Jiajia are about to take entrance exams, so I can be their tutor and help them out. Her ex-husband wanted to give birth to a son, but now she has a daughter, so life is hard for her. She didn't want to swallow her anger, so she got divorced. She has a strong personality, which is 70% like you. It's convenient for others, and it's also convenient for me, right? Besides, you see Meifang is at home now, so I don't have to worry about my child's poor academic performance. What a good thing."

"Your two sons are also going to study abroad, right?"

"Jianjian has made it clear that he won't go. He wants to take an art major. It's up to him. He's been interested in photography since he was a child. Who knows, he might be able to do something with it. It depends on him. Jiajia is going to apply to a military academy. I'll go with him. It's not bad for the family to have an officer. As for the girl from the Lou family, it seems that she wants to apply to a drama academy. She will take the professional exam soon. But she looks like she has it all planned out. After all, she's not my biological daughter. I can't control her too much. Besides, the Lou family isn't short of money. She doesn't need to worry about making a living. It's not a bad idea for her to be an actor or a star. After all, she's from Hong Kong. Hong Kong's film industry is well developed. With the Lou family paying for her packaging, she might be successful, right?"

"Hehe, I still have less worries. I only have one daughter, and she is so outstanding. I didn't have to take care of her since she was young, and she grew up and became successful."

"Lady, how is your son now?"

"It's not bad. He is now an official in the system, working at a TV station. With their family background, he should be doing well. He is a typical ungrateful person, and as his mother, I have treated him well. From sending him information when the college entrance examination was resumed, to giving him money every year for college, to giving him home appliances when he got married, and last time Shuying even gave him an imported camera worth seven or eight thousand. What else do you want? My parents are extremely disappointed with this nephew now. They don't even talk about him."

"Just do your best. You can take care of yourself anyway. Shuying won't need a brother like him to help her in the future. Just go with the flow. Have your nephews and nieces achieved any results in their training? It's been more than a year. If you can't succeed, don't practice. But you have to keep the booklet safe. Who knows, someone else might be able to succeed in the future."

"I stopped practicing a long time ago. I have switched to practicing the martial arts of the Natural School. But it seems that not many people are good at it. It seems that practicing martial arts also requires talent, just like me. I practiced and practiced until I became successful. Haha, you can't deny it. My current realm has far surpassed that of my master's master. By the way, speaking of this, Damao, at the end of this year, around the winter solstice, please accompany me to Hunan. My father asked me to visit the grave of my master's master, and by the way, look for uncles and aunts if there are any. My father wanted to go by himself, but he is really too old to travel far. I have to do it for him."

"Where is your master buried?"

"Hunan Yuelu Mountain, that's great. Let's go and feel the spiritual energy of Yuelu Mountain and Nanyue Hengshan Mountain. If we have time, how about going to Wudang Mountain and Shennongjia?"

"Are you sure you have time?"

"If I can't, I'll take a leave. This matter has been on my father's mind for many years. In fact, it would be best to go next year, but I don't want to wait any longer. I want to fulfill the old man's wish."

"Okay, how can I not agree to your small request?"

The train got stuck again and again, and slowly it became pitch black outside, speeding all the way to the Northeast Plain...
