Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

Yan Jiecheng was already drunk, so Yan Bugui agreed to Xu Damao's conditions on his behalf.

What if he didn't agree? Would he continue to let Yan Jiecheng stay at home and eat and drink for free?

Even if Yan Bugui stopped being stingy, he still can't afford to support her. What era is this?

"Da Mao, you said, as long as it is possible, I will definitely urge Jie Cheng to get it done for you."

To still talk about conditions at this time - "as long as it can be done" - I can only say that Yan Bugui is worthy of his name.

But Xu Damao didn't care. If you can do it, I'll let you go. If you can't, we'll just pretend nothing happened. We'll continue to sanction those who should be sanctioned. It's not me who will be troubled.

"1. It's no use kneeling down to apologize to me today. He has offended my little moth as well."

"When I come back with Moth, I'll kneel down and kowtow and blow a bottle of wine. Is that okay?"

What?

Everyone finally understood. Since Lou Xiao'e was not there, would Yan Jiecheng's apology not count?

But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with what Xu Damao said. The real owner is missing, so your apology does not count and that is reasonable.

Everyone else nodded, only Yan Bugui frowned. It was not a big deal to kneel down and apologize once more, but - he had to buy an extra bottle of wine!

He didn't dare to cheat in this regard. If the fake wine was discovered, it would be like treating the other party as a fool. Not to mention Xu Damao, no one in the Siheyuan would ever believe him again.

So the wine has to be authentic—but, I have to spend money to buy the wine again...

"Da Mao, look at how much Jie Cheng has already drunk. Next time when you apologize, can you not drink a bottle of white wine?"

"This is too harmful to the body..."

Xu Damao rolled his eyes at him, and even many neighbors rolled their eyes at Yan Bugui. Who didn't know his little thoughts?

A piece of sweet potato that costs a lot of money is far more important than his and Yan Jiecheng's face.

"Teacher Yan, you should be content with what you have. I'm ready to let Yan Jiecheng go, but you're still fussing over such a small matter? Do you really not know what's more important or are you pretending not to know?"

Xu Damao said expressionlessly.

Yan Bugui also knew that pretending to be pitiful was useless, so he could only agree awkwardly: "I am doing this for Xie Cheng's health... But Damao is right, next time I will let Xie Cheng blow another bottle to cheer everyone up and help Lou Xiao'e calm down."

"2. You can't apologize empty-handed, right? We don't have that kind of logic in our Forbidden City, right?"

Xu Damao looked at Yan Bugui jokingly. Only by paying compensation could Yan Bugui feel heartbroken.

Can the matter be made to pass by just talking nonsense and drinking from a bottle of wine?

Is my, Xu Damao’s, face so worthless?

Upon hearing Xu Damao talking about this, Yan Bugui's face turned even uglier, neither crying nor laughing: "Da Mao, these days, our family is really broke, and even if we have money, we don't have tickets. Even if we have money and tickets, there's nothing to buy in the Pigeon Market..."

"Teacher Yan, you can only gain if you give up. You are a scholar, so you must understand this truth."

"You want me to forgive your family with just a few empty words? Where is my face, Xu Damao?"

"Your family can get away with this by doing this to me, so from now on, can anyone step on my face, Xu Damao?"

"Apologize, apologize. Without it, this matter won't be settled."

"Kneeling and kowtowing is a great courtesy, but giving gifts is also a courtesy, what do you think?"

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he pushed his bicycle to the backyard to check the progress of the new house.

And Yan Bugui was there, the muscles on his face were twisted together. Yes, etiquette is courtesy, and gifts are also courtesy.

Xu Damao is now a deputy section-level cadre. Yan Jiecheng made a scene at his wedding banquet. The fact that he didn't kill Yan Jiecheng was a sign of Xu Damao's excessive chastity.

Now you want to just drink a bottle of wine and kowtow to be done with it?

What are you thinking!

Even Yi Zhonghai shook his head. This Yan Bugui really didn't know the importance of things. He was only thinking about saving money on such matters?

So I didn't persuade him much. I helped speak in front of Xu Damao today because the three of them were old partners.

As for what to choose later, it depends on him - is money more important, or is his son more important?

Or maybe it is more important whether his son can get a job in a factory and make money.

"Old Yan, you'd better send Jie Cheng to the hospital as soon as possible." Fatty Liu said suddenly.

"what?"

"He's foaming at the mouth. Did you buy fake wine?"

"Damn it, please don't scare me!"

Then the Yan family hurriedly sent Yan Jiecheng to the hospital for gastric lavage.

Well - I have to spend money again.

The backyard, the small second floor and the yard have all been built. The weather has been good recently and it hasn't rained. It's a famine year, so there's little rain.

Seeing that the workers were busy with the decoration inside, Xu Damao did not disturb them. He went over and handed them a pack of cigarettes, put down the bag of food, and went to Sha Zhu's house. There was no need to force him to cook today.

However, he was too lazy to go back to the Lou family for dinner, so he just had a meal here. Later, he would go to Qin Huairu and Liu Lan's small courtyard to give them some food, and then go back to the Lou family.

As soon as I arrived at the middle courtyard, I saw Sha Zhu talking to Jin Lili. He was holding a small bag in his hand, which should be something like flour.

Xu Damao was dumbfounded at that time. Qin Huairu left and Jin Lili came. Are you, Shazhu, really obsessed with Jia Donglu's wife?

No matter which wife Jia Donglu changes, do you like her?

He wanted to yell, but then he thought that Jin Lili hadn't offended him yet, and she was obviously looking for someone to take over. The system had already scanned and confirmed this.

If I really shouted out loud, and if two lives were lost, wouldn't that be a sin?

Forget it.

"Stupid column!"

Xu Damao just said hello in a normal way, and Sha Zhu suddenly jumped backwards as if he had been caught by something, and then took a defensive posture!

Xu Damao was dumbfounded. What was going on?

Seeing that it was Xu Damao calling him, Sha Zhu finally took a breath and asked embarrassedly: "What are you doing? What are you doing? You scared me."

"I'm telling you, I didn't do anything. I just sent some food to Sister Jin. This is the food I saved up myself. It has nothing to do with you, Xu Damao."

"I left some for Yu Shui, but I didn't treat her badly. You can't find fault with me!"

Sha Zhu spoke a long paragraph in one breath, which confused Xu Damao.

I just said hello, what did I do?

Your explanation - isn't it just a case of trying to cover up one's own faults?

Jin Lili was also confused by Sha Zhu's remarks. Listen to what you are saying?

So her face turned red, and she turned around and went back to the Jia family with the bag of grain. When she left, she did not forget to say hello to Xu Damao briefly, but she was not overly enthusiastic or flattering.

Then, the Jia family started to make trouble again.

Xu Damao turned around to look at Shazhu who was still peeking at the Jia family, and poked him with his shoulder.

"Why, you're interested again?"

Shazhu, who looked like a pig, woke up immediately.

"No, I don't understand what you are saying. I'm telling you, Xu Damao, you can't spread this nonsense!"

Sha Zhu immediately started to explain in a panic. What would happen if others heard this?

"Old deaf man, idiot, he again -"

Xu Damao started yelling towards the backyard again, and Sha Zhu grabbed him in a hurry.

"Okay, okay, you're my brother, stop yelling!"

This bastard is going to make the deaf old lady suffer, and things are going to get out of hand again.

Sha Zhu dragged Xu Damao back to his room and said, "Xu Damao, are you bored? What on earth are you going to do?"

"I'm hungry, make me a meal."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

"Why didn't you say it earlier? Why didn't you say it earlier?..."
