Siheyuan: Becoming a cadre after graduating from technical secondary school

After receiving the notice from Lin Zongxuan, Xu Damao came to a teahouse box next to the Lou family's former residence with a nervous and excited mood.

Perhaps because he learned that she might have given birth to his only biological child, when Xu Damao saw Lou Xiao'e this time, he no longer felt the fear and awkwardness of the past, but instead felt a sense of excitement in his heart.

The two of them sat on either side of the table, and for a moment they felt like old friends meeting.

After a while, Xu Damao sighed and asked hesitantly, "How did you get through these years?"

"That's how I came here."

Lou Xiao'e sneered, "If you really can't hold on any longer, just think of you and Second Uncle (referring to Liu Haizhong), and you'll get through it if you grit your teeth."

"..."

Xu Damao touched his head awkwardly and said seriously: "I did go too far back then. I came here today with the intention of atonement. As long as you feel better, I am willing to be beaten and punished."

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and said coldly, "Even if you weren't there, the Lou family couldn't escape what happened back then. I just didn't expect it to be you. Tell me why you did this. After all, no matter what, the Lou family has more gratitude than resentment towards your Xu family."

Xu Damao organized his words and said frankly: "There are two reasons why I did this back then.

The first reason is that you were too close to my enemies like Shazhu and Yi Ye in the yard at that time, and I was of course not happy to see that, especially the deaf old lady, she broke the windows of our house many times. "

Xu Damao was halfway through his words when he suddenly looked up at Lou Xiaoe and let out a long sigh.

"Of course, the second reason is the key. I'm scared. You hid so many things in my house. There are many people in our courtyard who have grudges against me. If someone reports you first, I will definitely be implicated!"

Lou Xiao'e was touched, but on the surface she asked coldly, "Are you saying that the fault is all mine?"

"Of course not. As you just said, anyone can do it. It's not my turn to do it anyway."

After listening to Xu Damao's apology, Lou Xiao'e was silent for a moment, and suddenly took out an envelope from her coat pocket and pushed it to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao pinched it with his hand and asked with a strange look on his face, "Why are you giving me money?"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and said, "This is not for you. It's for Uncle San's surgery fee."

Xu Damao took the envelope this time and asked in surprise, "The Third Master did you a favor back then? This is not like his style!"

“Although there was no favor, he didn’t take advantage of me either, which is already very rare.

Besides, if you hadn’t caused trouble this time, Uncle San’s family wouldn’t be in such a miserable state.”

With a "puff", the tea in Xu Damao's mouth sprayed all over the floor. He didn't even bother to wipe it off, and hurriedly denied it, "What does this have to do with me? You can't let me take the blame for everything that happens in Hongxing Courtyard."

"If you say it's not, then it's not."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Anyway, seeing Second Master become like that is something worth being happy about." (referring to Liu Haizhong)

"Don't talk nonsense. This matter really has nothing to do with me. I still want to live in the courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e suddenly fell silent, then took out a folder from her bag and motioned Xu Damao to open it.

After Xu Damao got the contents, he found that he couldn't understand a single word and asked suspiciously, "Is this English? What does it say?"

"Paternity Testing."

Lou Xiao'e said slowly: "This is the latest technology in England. It can detect the blood relationship between two people through the genetic material in their genes."

Xu Damao stood up excitedly and asked tremblingly, "You mean, you have checked me and my son?"

"Yes."

Lou Xiao'e's eyes were complicated, and she said reluctantly, "The child is definitely yours."

"That is to say, I, I have a son?"

Xu Damao was overjoyed and suddenly felt that he didn't care about anything anymore. He shouted happily: "I have a son. I, Xu Damao, have a biological son. My Xu family has an heir. I am not a sinner!"

"Don't be happy too early."

Lou Xiao'e said expressionlessly: "He has my last name, so he has no relationship with your Xu family."

Lou Xiao'e's words were like a bucket of cold water poured directly on Xu Damao's face, making him suddenly quiet down.

Suddenly, the box fell into silence again. Xu Damao's face was hot and cold, and there was a fierce struggle in his eyes. Lou Xiao'e looked at him quietly without saying a word.

After a while, Xu Damao sighed and said, "Let the child have the surname Lou. Everything he eats and drinks is God's will. I won't let him recognize his ancestors. If you are willing, tell him who I am. At least let him have a home in the city. If you don't want to, forget it."

Lou Xiao'e exhaled a breath of turbid air, and her heartbeat calmed down. She asked suspiciously, "You really don't want to snatch the child from me? This is not like your style."

Xu Damao smiled bitterly and said, "If it was more than a decade ago, I would definitely have snatched it from you, but now we are both this age, and the children are grown up, how can I snatch it from you?"

"That's true."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao now, and for some reason, an idea suddenly popped up in her mind that surprised even herself.

She asked tentatively: "Xu Damao, do you want your son to be closer to you?"

"Yes, of course I do. I even dream about it."

Xu Damao asked in surprise: "Are you planning to let your child live with us for a while?"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and said, "What I mean is that I want you to go to Hong Kong to take care of your son."

"Going to Xiangjiang?"

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed with excitement and impulse, and finally he fell into confusion.
