At night, Sha Zhu brought the drunk Xu Damao back to the yard and knocked on his door.

"coming."

Jin Yunduo opened the door and saw Xu Damao drunk and unconscious. She didn't have time to complain and hurriedly carried him into the house.

Sha Zhu called her and asked hesitantly, "Jin Meizi, has Xu Damao mentioned to you recently... Oh, forget it, wait until he wakes up and ask him yourself."

Jin Yunduo was a little confused and wanted to ask another question, but Sha Zhu had already gone home.

After settling Xu Damao down, Jin Yunduo sat alone in the lobby. Thinking about Xu Damao's recent abnormalities, she gradually began to understand something.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Her thoughts were interrupted, and Jin Yunduo came to her senses, only to find her son standing beside her, gently shaking her shoulders.

Jin Yunduo didn't want the child to know about the grudges of their generation, so she forced a smile and explained, "It's okay, Mom. Your dad will be thirsty soon. I'll go to sleep after he gets up for the night."

Sure enough, as soon as Jin Yunduo finished speaking, Xu Damao's uncomfortable groans were heard from the master bedroom.

Jin Yunduo quickly took the boiled water of just the right temperature and gave Xu Damao a cup, then helped him vomit. By the time she had tidied herself up again, she was no longer sleepy, so she simply lit an oil lamp in the lobby and started knitting a sweater for her son.

She didn't hear a barely audible sigh coming from the bedroom.

In the next few days, Xu Damao ignored his business and took his son to climb the Badaling Mountain with a borrowed camera. They also visited several famous parks, ate at "Lao Mo" and several famous restaurants, and almost took him to every corner of the city.

The relationship between the two quickly heated up.

Finally, one night, while they were having dinner in the private room of Dadong, Lou Yi suddenly said, "I'm going back to Hong Kong soon."

"Oh, it's good to go back. Your grandma is there." Xu Damao came back to his senses and quickly made another duck roll and put it on Lou Yi's plate.

Lou Yi was silent for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Dad, do you want to go to Xiangjiang?"

"Can I go?"

Xu Damao was flattered and replied, but then he realized something was wrong and asked in surprise, "What did you call me just now?"

Lou Yi turned his head somewhat awkwardly and called out "Dad" softly.

"Hey, hey, hey."

Xu Damao nodded in surprise, wiped his tears and said, "Dad is going to Xiangjiang to find you."

After returning home that day, Xu Damao began to search through all the boxes and drawers for a long time, but he still couldn't find his household registration book.

"Here it is."

A hand suddenly stretched out from the side, holding a series of documents he needed.

Xu Damao raised his head awkwardly, and sure enough, the owner of that hand was Jin Yunduo.

"How did you know I was looking for these documents?"

Jin Yunduo sighed and said, "Do you really think I'm stupid? What can be hidden from others in this world? I have already discovered the photos in your wallet. Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu are working in Shazhu's restaurant now. If I hadn't silenced them with a piece of bacon, your story would have spread all over the neighborhood."

"Hey, this old Liu, you still think you haven't been punished enough, right?"

Xu Damao touched his head angrily and confessed, "I won't hide it from you anymore. I'm going to Hong Kong."

Jin Yunduo asked in surprise: "Is it so easy to go abroad now?"

“It’s easy if you have money.”

"Yeah." Jin Yunduo nodded, and then asked calmly: "How long will you be gone, and will you come back?"

Xu Damao turned his head in surprise, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Jin Yunduo saw his confusion and asked calmly, "Are you wondering why I didn't stop you?"

After asking the question, she began to ask herself and answer: "I want to stop you, but I know I can't. If a person feels that he owes someone, he will really try every possible way to make up for it. I can stop you once, can I stop you a second time?

Fortunately, my son is grown up now and can support us, so I'll just let you go. After all, I didn't give you a biological child."

Xu Damao was stunned for a while, then said softly: "It has nothing to do with you if you can't give birth. I have always treated you as my own son."

More than a week later, Xu Damao got his visa unexpectedly quickly and flew to Hong Kong. Before leaving, he left most of his savings to Jin Yunduo and her daughter.

Everyone in the courtyard was talking about it, thinking that Xu Damao was probably stranded there, and even if he came back, it would take a long time.

Even Lin Zongxuan was sighing that the plot of Siheyuan had completely changed at this point, and it would be difficult for him to see the quarrel between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao again.

But what no one expected was that less than two weeks later, Xu Damao returned before the expiration of his family visit visa.

As the two big trees at the gate of the courtyard changed their leaves again and again, time quietly came to the beginning of summer in 1990.

This year, Lin Zongxuan was 47 years old and had a full-time secretary to take care of his life.

This year, Sha Zhu was 55 years old, Qin Huairu was 57 years old, and Xu Damao was 52 years old. They were still the protagonists of various farces in the courtyard.

Late one night, cries of grief suddenly resounded throughout the Red Star Courtyard.

"Dongxu! Dongxu!"

"Send him to the hospital!"

One after another, figures walked out of the house and looked at the door of the Jia family with confused faces.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai was also awakened. He followed the sound to the door of Jia's house. Seeing Banggeng holding his father and running out in a hurry, he couldn't help but sigh.
