Siheyuan: Becoming a cadre after graduating from technical secondary school

In the blink of an eye, more than ten hours passed, and the flight from Hong Kong landed on time at the airport in the east city of Beijing.

A handsome young man, about 20 years old, walked off the plane with his luggage along with the crowd.

Lou Yi stood at the exit, took a deep breath, felt the fresh air around him, and then slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the scene before him, which was completely different from a few years ago, a complex emotion surged in his heart.

This is a city full of historical heritage and new life. Ancient buildings and modern skyscrapers complement each other. The busy streets and bustling crowds all demonstrate the rapid development of this city.

Perhaps it was because both of his parents were born here, although it was only his second time setting foot on this land, he did not feel strange at all. Instead, he felt an inexplicable sense of security.

"Hello, 1988; Hello, BJ!"

In order to show that he has grown up and can do what he wants independently, Lou Yi rejected Lou Xiao'e's suggestion to send someone to pick him up at the airport. After a little thought, he walked to the side of the road and stopped a green taxi.

The old man in the car looked to be in his 50s, and was as enthusiastic and talkative as an old BJ man. Lou Yi got in the car and told the address. The driver skillfully adjusted the control console and then began to talk incessantly.

"Young man, you don't look very familiar with this area. Are you from another place?"

Lou Yi retracted his gaze toward the window and responded with a smile: "Master, I am not from outside. My father and mother were born and raised here. I just haven't been back for several years."

"That feeling is good!"

Upon hearing this, the driver immediately became more excited, raised his thumb and said, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back. The development momentum of Sijiu City has been very good in recent years. It just needs you, the knowledgeable and capable college students, to come back and build it. Do you think other cities can have the fortune of our ancient capital under the feet of the emperor?"

Lou Yi couldn't say a word and could only nod awkwardly.

At this time, in a luxurious private room of a Sichuan restaurant, Xu Damao, who was dressed up in a new outfit, was staring at Sha Zhu.

Lou Xiao'e knew that she would have to take her son to meet Xu Damao, and she would not be able to hide the truth from her partner Sha Zhu, so she simply told him the truth as soon as possible.

When Sha Zhu learned that the little boy he had met a few years ago was actually Xu Damao's biological child, he was so shocked that he almost swallowed his tongue.

This is too bloody!

Sha Zhu carefully recalled Lou Yi's appearance and said to himself, "This, this doesn't look like him either."

"Hey, I said, silly Zhu, why don't you look like him anymore?"

Xu Damao pointed at the photo in the inner layer of his wallet and said proudly, "Look at this tall guy. His nose and eyes are exactly the same as mine when I was young. That's my biological son. Why, you don't accept it?"

It’s hard to say whether Sha Zhu is convinced in his heart or not, but he can only say that he is convinced, after all, the child’s mother is still here.

Seeing that the two had stopped arguing, Lou Xiao'e then warned Xu Damao, "When you see your son later, don't tell him about what happened in the past, and don't mention his grandmother (referring to Lou's mother) in front of him. Don't lose your temper at every turn. If you make your son angry and leave, you will never have another chance!"

"Yes Yes."

While they were talking, there was a knock on the door. Lou Xiao'e didn't think much about it and just shouted "Come in".

After the door was opened, a big boy with a smile on his face threw his luggage and opened his arms to Lou Xiaoe.

"Smug!"

Lou Xiao'e threw herself into her son's arms in surprise and couldn't help but shed tears.

It has been almost a year, and her son has never been away from her for such a long time.

Lou Yi also hugged his mother tightly and patted her back gently to comfort her.

This touching scene of mother and son reuniting made Shazhu, who was standing by, couldn't help but sigh.

"Xu Damao, look at what you did back then. If it weren't for you, would we have been separated for so long?"

Xu Damao glared at him, then walked timidly to his son and smiled in a flattering manner.

But Lou Yi ignored Xu Damao. He strode up to Sha Zhu with a bright smile on his face and greeted him warmly, "This is Uncle He Yuzhu, right? I still remember you. Thank you for taking care of my mother during this period."

Sha Zhu chuckled, wiped his hands on his clothes, and under Xu Damao's murderous gaze, he cautiously shook hands with Lou Yi.

Xu Damao gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tighter.

At the dinner table, Xu Damao kept picking up dishes, pouring water and adding rice for Lou Yi as if he was serving his father, but Lou Yi did not give him any chance to perform. He was only concerned with praising Sha Zhu's cooking skills. Even when he toasted, he would deliberately miss Xu Damao's glass.

Lou Xiao'e saw this and felt a hint of satisfaction in her heart.

However, she also knew that letting Lou Yi and Xu Damao recognize each other would not only fulfill Xu Damao's dream, but would also be of great benefit to the child. Not only would it allow her son to have a follower in the old city, but he would also be able to establish various relationships through Xu Damao.

So, when the dinner was almost over, Lou Xiao'e spoke softly.

"Xiaoyi, this is Xu Damao. He's yours, your biological father."

Xu Damao immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Lou Yi with anticipation.

Lou Yi snorted and said unhappily, "I don't have such a biological father. He called me a brat when we first met."

As soon as these words were spoken, a trace of embarrassment flashed across the faces of everyone present.

Lou Xiao'e didn't expect her son to be so disrespectful to her. Sha Zhu was embarrassed for Xu Damao. Xu Damao...

Xu Damao stood up and said earnestly, "Son, it was Dad who was wrong. Dad and your mother had a conflict and I said something wrong. Dad apologizes to you."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself hard on the face. He slapped his left cheek and then his right cheek. Lou Xiao'e hurriedly asked Sha Zhu to stop him and said to Lou Yi, "Xiao Yi, whether you like it or not, this is the fact. Go get a towel for your dad."

After Lou Yi walked out with a cold face, Lou Xiaoe couldn't help but complain: "You are such a talkative person, now you know how painful it is."

Xu Damao could only smile bitterly and nodded.

When they sat back down at the table, Lou Yi couldn't help but look at Xu Damao and asked, "I heard that you have a wife and a child here, right?"

Xu Damao was silent for a moment, then he could not help but explain: "I remarried after divorcing your mother, and the child is not my biological child. I..."

"That's it!"

Lou Yi interrupted Xu Damao and said indignantly, "I don't ask why you divorced my mother. She always told me that you can't be blamed alone in that environment. But I only know that my mother and grandparents drifted all the way to Hong Kong, and you remarried and had children here like nothing happened, raising someone else's child."

Xu Damao weakly defended himself: "But I, but I didn't even know you existed!"

Lou Yi nodded and asked calmly: "Now you know that we don't need you anymore. When I needed my father's company the most, you were not here. Why should I recognize you now?"

Xu Damao's face was pale and blue at this moment. After a while, he sighed and said sincerely: "Child, you are right. It doesn't matter whether you recognize me or not. I will always have a place for you in my heart. No matter when, wherever I am, you have a home."

After all, they are related by blood. After Lou Yi and Xu Damao communicated, although he still refused to recognize him, his attitude towards him was obviously much better.

The atmosphere at the scene was obviously relaxed. Xu Damao was so happy that he inevitably drank a few more glasses. When the party was about to end, he hugged Lou Yi and pointed at the camera he borrowed from Lin Zongxuan and said incoherently: "Shazhu, come and take a photo of me and my son."

Sha Zhu had never used such advanced stuff before. He fiddled with it for a long time but didn't know how to use it. In the end, Lou Xiao'e took the camera and took a picture for them.
