Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

The two entered the ice rink, and Liu Yueru asked him, "Do you still remember how to skate?"

Xu Dacan was full of heroic spirit: "Watch this!" Then he touched the ice with his left foot, stomped hard on the ice with his right foot, and jumped out like a sharp arrow.

Then, before he had even reached 5 meters, he stumbled, struggled a few times, and shouted "Sea Bull!"

There were crows flying in the sky, and Xu Dacan was somewhat silent.

After Liu Yueru pulled him up, she warned her, "Don't laugh!"

Liu Yueru looked around like a loach in a paddy field, and refused to admit it: "No way."

Xu Dacan pulled her cheek angrily: "It's like you have a clothes hanger in your mouth. You can't even close your mouth!"

Xu Dacan let go of Liu Yueru's cheek and ran away. Liu Yueru chased after him with gritted teeth: "Can you speak? You're like you have a clothes hanger in your mouth!"

"..."

The couple ran two big circles and a few small circles, and then leaned on the railing of the ice rink to rest, still unsatisfied.

Xu Dacan said: "I have been thinking since I first came here that there is always something missing on the ice rink. Now I finally figured it out."

Liu Yueru was curious: "What's missing?"

Xu Dacan pointed to the center of the venue and said, "The gangsters! The men all wore wool hats and the women all wore bright red fleece scarves. Now they are gone. I am not used to it."

Of course, this group of people first went to the queues to work, then joined the army; now their fathers have been rehabilitated or reinstated, and the passionate years have nothing to do with them anymore.

Liu Yueru also recalled: "Also, those who play figure skating are basically gone!"

This is true. In the past, the center of the ice rink was the home of figure skating, and all the great skaters competed to show off their skills, such as "Phoenix Facing the Sun", "Su Qin Carrying a Sword", "Yaksha Exploring the Sea", "Worshipping Guanyin", "Single Spreading Wings", "Stepping Upward to the Sky"...

If you don't know one of these skills, you'd be embarrassed to go there and embarrass yourself.

One of the best among them is actually a man in his 70s! The old man's story is very legendary.

Liu Yueru said that the old man was originally a guard in the palace. In the severe winter, Empress Dowager Cixi would organize some young men who could skate to skate on the Taiye Lake for her amusement.

The Empress Dowager also set up a "skate department" with about 30 young men, all of whom are 1 meters tall, have eight-pack abs, and have practiced martial arts since childhood. They can combine kung fu with skating and are particularly good at skating on the ice. This old man is one of the best.

He comes to the ice rink every year and has his own ice skates. Liu Yueru has seen him before.

This old man likes to play with young people and likes to show off, but he is not secretive and doesn't put on airs. As long as they are ice skating enthusiasts and sincerely ask him for advice on some moves, he will teach them!

He was also very generous and often invited young girls and boys to drink hot milk and eat snacks together.

Whenever young people have conflicts or frictions, they always go to him to settle things. Later, the park management wanted to hire this old man, but he spat in their face instead...

When Xu Dacan heard Liu Yueru describe this person, he felt that this was the prototype of "Laopaoer".

Even if he was down and out in his old age, childless, he couldn't lose his style. He was a "lord" who came out of the palace, he couldn't lose his spirit. After he finished his story, the two of them skated for a while, and Liu Yueru suddenly said to Xu Dacan: "Let's go back, I don't want to skate anymore."

Xu Dacan casually circled around her, then stopped in front of Liu Yueru and asked considerately, "Are you tired?"

Liu Yueru shook her head slightly, looking at the young people on the ice rink, and said with emotion: "Suddenly I feel so unfamiliar here, as if a movie has ended, and those of us holding the movie tickets should also leave, and the next show will no longer belong to us."

It turns out that their youth is over.

"..."

In the evening, the couple went to Liu Huangbai's house to pick up their baby and have a meal.

When they sat at the table, Liu Huangbai asked them, "What did you do today?"

Liu Yueru looked happy, with a faint dimple on her sweet face: "In the first half, we went to look for our former youth."

Xu Dacan replied without any hesitation: "In the second half, we did what an old married couple should do."

They were still an old couple. Seeing Xu Dacan was about to drink the soup, Liu Huangbai suddenly said, "It's poisonous!"

With a "puff" sound, not a drop of the soup was wasted, and Xu Dacan sprayed it all on the ground.

Liu Yueru wiped his mouth and scolded him, "Old Liu!"

Liu Huangbai was very worried. When his little cotton-padded jacket was happy, she would call him Dad and Old Man; but when she was unhappy and was protecting her man, she would call him Old Liu?

Who among the family members understands? Huang Bai is feeling miserable...

"..."

In the evening, they had just returned to their yard when Xu Damao came over after hearing the noise, looking quite anxious.

Xu Dacan asked the two children to brush their teeth, wash their feet and go to bed, while he and Xu Damao went to the study.

This study was converted while a small house was being built in the yard.

As soon as the two of them sat down in the study, Xu Damao couldn't wait to say, "Second uncle, bah, it was that old guy Liu Haizhong who came to see me just now."

Xu Dacan was also puzzled: "Why did he look for you?"

"What? You want me to help him transfer his eldest son back!" Xu Damao said with disdain.

Liu Haizhong knew that Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were unreliable, so he set his sights on his eldest son Liu Guangqi?

Back then, Liu Guangqi was "managed" by the two brothers to a remote place to lead his fellow villagers to work hard. Liu Guangqi and his wife and children appeared at 3 minutes and 29 seconds in episode 15. Xu Damao took out a cigarette from his pocket, stretched out two fingers and flicked it under the cigarette shell, and a cigarette flew out and fell into his mouth without any error.

He handed another cigarette to Xu Dacan, and the two of them lit up: "What do you think Liu Haizhong was thinking? He didn't know that I had a deep hatred for him, but he actually came to me for help?"

Xu Dacan analyzed, "Brother, I think he is desperate and has turned to other people. He must have looked for more than just you. But those people refused to pay attention to him. He was desperate and only thought of looking for you. In addition, it is not ruled out that he wants to use this incident to plot against you again."

Xu Damao slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, that must be the case!"

As soon as Xu Damao figured it out, he didn't need Xu Dacan to give him any more advice. He had already started planning in his mind: "I'm going to make him bleed this time. I'll accept the gift, but I won't do the work for him! I want to see what he can do to me, hahaha!"

After laughing enough, he asked Xu Dacan in a mean way: "Brother, do you think I look like a bad guy when I laugh like this?"
