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

"Let me tell you, Director Wang, you are here to judge whether I should beat this black-hearted old man."

He Daqing calmed himself down and now that he was sober, he realized that if he had really hit him like that just now, no matter if he was right or not, he would have been sent to jail for sure.

Moreover, if I really beat Lao Yi to death, I would have to pay with my life. It would be so unfair to pay with my life for such a black-hearted guy.

So if I was beaten by Xu Damao, should I thank him?

He Daqing lit a cigarette, and Sha Zhu immediately lit it for him like a lackey. There is no overnight grudge between father and son. After the matter was made clear, they united to face the outside world. So when He Daqing just came back, Sha Zhu was angry, but in just half an hour, he and his father shared the same hatred of the enemy.

"When the composition was determined, the deaf old woman and Yi Zhonghai told me that I had cooked for Bai Gouzi and that I was the successor of Tan's cuisine, which is the official cuisine!"

"Plus, I worked as a steamed bun seller before liberation, so I would be classified as a rich peasant or a small business owner, but not a poor peasant or a hired worker."

"This will affect the composition of the two children."

"I panicked, and those two black-hearted people advised me to go work in another place and give the house to Shazhu, which would be equivalent to him being the head of the household. He is a half-grown boy and just an apprentice, and the people above him will not make things difficult for him."

"I was hesitant at the time. I have children and I don't know who would want to leave home, right?"

He Daqing vowed that if he had any other choice, he would not run to Baocheng to hide.

He Yushui burst into tears when she heard this. Her father had his own concerns and he would not just run away without caring about her.

"As a result, during that period, someone introduced me to a widow. After a few encounters, I also thought about moving to another place."

"I had raised two children by myself for so many years, so I thought I could find another one and go there too. In the end, I followed the widow to Baocheng."

At this point, he was still very confident, without any embarrassment of being an old man. Originally, the guys outside the door wanted to say that He Daqing was shameless, but when they thought about it, he pulled Shazhu and Yushui to such a big mess by himself, and then continued the string, wasn't this a very normal thing to do.

Moreover, Old He is a real man as he moved away from home because of his child's background.

But the He family's habit of liking widows seems to have its roots in Old He.

He Daqing took a puff of cigarette, drank a sip of water, and continued.

"Until yesterday, the department wanted to transfer me back, so I made up my mind to confess my identity. The organization has come to my door, so it would be wrong to hide it. But I just realized that cooking for Bai Gouzi is not a big deal at all!"

"There was a relevant policy back then. I cooked for people, but they didn't pay me. So I am one of the exploited working people. I didn't help the white dogs oppress and exploit the people. What should I be afraid of?!"

"As for Tan's cuisine, I learned it halfway through. It's not inherited from my ancestors. Only Lou Bancheng's third concubine, Lou Tan's Tan Yali, is the authentic inheritor of Tan's cuisine. I think she's your mother-in-law, Damao? She's my real master's aunt!"

Xu Damao nodded. This matter could not be concealed. His mother-in-law was in the catering business. She was the heir of authentic Tan family cuisine, but her cooking skills were not as good as He Daqing and Sha Zhu's.

Family tradition and talent are two different things.

"So it's not a sin to know how to cook Tan's cuisine!" He Daqing said solemnly, as if he was cheering himself up.

But when it comes to Sha Zhu, he is a little confused. Lou Xiao'e's mother, Tan Yali, is his old man's senior sister, so Lou Xiao'e is his old man's junior sister?

Do I also have to call Lou Xiao'e "Master Aunt"?

Since Xu Damao, my lifelong enemy, is my master's husband, I should call him——

Uncle Master?

Eh—this relationship is getting more and more complicated!

Sha Zhu looked at Xu Damao dejectedly, only to see him looking at him with a smile - Damn, how could he be a generation lower than him for no reason?

He Daqing continued, "As for selling buns before liberation, what else could a cook like me do to make a living? I can't just starve to death without food or water, right?"

"Besides, I don't have a store, I just have a small stall. How can I be classified as a small business owner?"

"I was fooled by this old deaf man and Yi Zhonghai! I left my family and children behind for eight years!"

"You guys tried every possible means to scare me away, what on earth were you thinking?"

At this point He Daqing angrily slammed the table. He wished he could catch Yi Zhonghai and beat him up again!

But Director Wang and Xu Damao were also sitting there. He was not stupid enough to act recklessly in front of the director of the subdistrict office and the extremely powerful Xu Damao.

Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady were now filled with shame. They had kept the matter secret until now, and they could have easily covered it up even if He Daqing came back in the future. However, they did not expect that He Daqing would be transferred back suddenly, and he confessed directly to the organization.

So naturally she knew some of the policies of that time, but now the deaf old lady Yi Zhonghai is explaining that she didn't understand it clearly back then, this reason is a bit untenable.

Because it was Yi Zhonghai who was in charge of the policy propaganda at the Military Control Office! If he didn't know the policy, who would?

Even if you made a mistake in the beginning, you could have written a letter to explain it in the past 8 years, right?

The people outside the door were also listening with great interest. Only Jia Zhang was muttering in a low voice: "Why? To let Sha Zhu take care of them in their old age. What else could it be!"

"You don't have any children of your own, but you're eyeing other people's children and even forcing the old man away. You're really black-hearted and conscienceless. No wonder your family is wiped out! This is retribution!" Although Jia Zhang's voice was low, she thought it was low, and even people inside could hear it.

Yi Zhonghai almost vomited blood, but he still held it back.

Director Wang said puzzledly: "If that's the case, half of the responsibility lies with you for following the widow. You can't blame it all on Old Yi and the deaf old lady."

He Daqing sneered at this time: "The widow's surname is Bai. She is the cousin of Bai Dazhuang from Workshop 3 of the Steel Rolling Mill. Bai Dazhuang is Yi Zhonghai's apprentice——"

"The White Widow was arranged by Old Yi from beginning to end. I am not wrongly accusing you, am I? Yi Zhonghai!"

Yesterday, Widow Bai confessed everything to He Daqing. The idea came from the deaf old lady, and the deed was done by Yi Zhonghai. Otherwise, how could they have hooked up so quickly and went to Baocheng together?

When everyone heard this, they realized there were so many twists and turns here! ?

This Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, aren’t they a little too thoughtful?

But Yi Zhonghai suddenly said, "He Daqing, I was wrong, but you were the one who fell in love with the White Widow, so you followed her to Baocheng."

"Am I right? If He Daqing doesn't like it, will you follow him?"

He Daqing was immediately choked by these words and coughed several times.

Even Shazhu reacted and glared at the old man with contempt several times.

What Yi Zhonghai said was not wrong. Who doesn’t know about men’s affairs?

It’s not appropriate to blame Yi Zhonghai entirely.

"Okay, even though I can't blame you, Yi Zhonghai, and the deaf old lady for my trip to Baocheng, I left a workstation for Sha Zhu before I left!"

"I also left 200 yuan for living expenses! This is all given to you, Lao Yi, to pass on on your behalf!"

"But why did Shazhu and Yushui only survive for half a year by picking up scraps?!"

"I also sent Yu Shui 10 yuan for living expenses every month for a full 8 years and 3 months! 990 yuan, all signed for by you, Yi Zhonghai!"

"But why didn't the two children receive a single letter or a single penny?!"

At this point, He Daqing's eyes turned red. He stood up, slammed the table, and started cursing at Yi Zhonghai.

"Yi Zhonghai! In 51, Zhuzi was only 16, and Yushui was only 9. You are going to kill Zhuzi and Yushui!"

"If you want to kill them, I will kill you first!"
