Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

"Xu Damao, you are sick. Why are you hanging around my doorstep?" Sha Zhu said swearing.

This year, Sha Zhu originally wanted to keep a low profile, and as time went by, everyone would forget about his relationship with Jia Zhangshi.

But the reality is not always what we want.

When people in the courtyard saw him, they always made fun of Jia Zhang's affairs.

Especially Xu Damao, he almost brought up that matter.

Today was even more outrageous, they even came to my doorstep to provoke me.

He is really a man who will tear down the house if he is not punished for three days. When the storm is over, I will give Xu Damao a good beating!

Xu Damao was not angry at all after being scolded. He flicked his clothes with his backhand and asked smugly, "It's so obvious, can't you see it?"

As he said this, he deliberately shook the leather shoes on his feet.

I have to say, these leather shoes are really not practical. After wearing them for just a short while, Xu Damao was freezing.

If you don't walk around, you'll really have problems with the cold.

"Oh, you've put on these leather shoes?" Sha Zhu then noticed that Xu Damao was wearing a brand new pair of leather shoes.

Wow, these leather shoes are really nice, they look much better than the old cloth shoes.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't just look at the shoes, don't you see my clothes?"

"This is new, a high-end product I bought at the department store!"

Xu Damao raised his chin and spoke to Sha Zhu with his nose pointed at him.

He and Sha Zhu have been at odds since childhood, but he can't beat Sha Zhu, so he can only find some sense of superiority in terms of conditions.

Sha Zhu's family used to be rich, but He Daqing took all the money with him when he ran away.

Therefore, Sha Zhu lived a poor life.

Although he has enough food and drink now, his salary at Fengdeng Building is not high, and his life is very tight. He can't even afford to buy clothes for the New Year.

But even so, Sha Zhu still gave Qin Huairu things and money from time to time, and would rather make He Yushui suffer than make Qin Huairu suffer.

"Look at you, you're so proud of yourself. What's so great about showing off a new set of clothes?"

Although he said this, Sha Zhu was still very envious in his heart.

Who doesn't want to buy new clothes during the Chinese New Year? But he could not even go to a department store to buy clothes or leather shoes. He would be lucky if he could buy a new cotton-padded jacket on the street.

"There's nothing I can do. I'm rich. After buying new clothes and shoes, I'll be able to have a partner soon. Tsk tsk, Sha Zhu almost got there first." Xu Damao said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

Sha Zhu was stunned and didn't react to what was going on.

"If you had married Jia Zhang some time ago, wouldn't you have gotten married before your buddies? Then you would not only have a wife, but also a son and a daughter-in-law. Hahahaha!" After Xu Damao said this, he ran away with a smirk on his face.

"roll!"

Sha Zhu roared angrily and slammed the door shut.

Not only does he have a wife, but he also has a son and daughter-in-law. These were all his words!

Damn you Xu Damao, I will definitely deal with you when the storm is over!

Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't catch up with him, Xu Damao stopped in surprise.

It seems that the incident involving Jia Zhang had dealt a heavy blow to Sha Zhu, and he didn't even dare to come out and beat him up.

That’s right. If the noise is too loud, everyone in the yard will come out.

When he tells the story himself, Sha Zhu will be laughed at by everyone in the courtyard again.

Hey, after a few moments of anger during the New Year, Xu Damao felt refreshed.

When passing by the Jia family, Xu Damao deliberately stamped his feet and then pretended to cough.

He wanted to get Qin Huairu out so that he could show off his new clothes.

As a result, Qin Huairu did not come out, and Jia Dongxu walked out of the house wearing flowery pants.

"Xu Damao, you are sick!" Jia Dongxu said angrily, "If you have a cold, just go home and hide. You keep coughing at my door. If you infect us, you will have to pay us!"

"Hehe, your wife...why don't you stay at home? Why don't you come out?" Xu Damao said with some disappointment.

"Come out and scold you!" Jia Dongxu was speechless.

"Hehe, take a good look, am I a little different today?" Xu Damao patted his clothes, straightened his back and asked.

If he buys new clothes, he has to show them off. He, Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu are about the same age, and they have liked to compare themselves since they were young.

If I can’t show off to Qin Huairu today, I can show off to Jia Dongxu.

When Jia Dongxu tells his family about it, Qin Huairu will naturally know that he has bought new clothes.

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu glanced at Xu Damao and quickly noticed the pair of shiny leather shoes.

"Oh, you bought new shoes? And they're a pair of leather shoes!" Jia Dongxu said with some envy.

He had never bought shoes since he was a child. He only wore old cloth shoes made by Jia Zhang himself. They were of a single style and the same design. Some people in the factory said that he only changed his shoes once every six months. He only had two pairs of shoes in a year, one thick pair and one thin pair.

"What are you looking at? This is all new!"

Xu Damao was a little depressed. Why didn’t Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu notice his new clothes?

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu took a closer look and found that they were indeed new clothes.

"See? These are high-end items bought from a real department store. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Jia Dongxu, don't you want to buy some new clothes?" Xu Damao asked knowingly.

The Jia family had recently failed in their chicken farming business and had lost a lot of money. They also paid Chen Jun twenty yuan, which was considered a huge loss.

But Xu Damao just couldn't stand Jia Dongxu.

Before, he relied on the fact that he had married a beautiful wife and acted like a wealthy man in the courtyard. Today, he finally found an opportunity.

Feng Shui turns around, and this year it’s my turn.

Jia Dongxu, you must be very envious.

"You bought it from a department store? I don't think it's that great!" Jia Dongxu said sourly, "As for new clothes and shoes, I'll go buy them tomorrow, one for me and one for my wife."

"Xu Damao, when are you going to get married? My wife is about to give birth, but you and Shazhu haven't found a partner yet."

"I......"

This time it was Xu Damao's turn to be speechless.

"My buddy is getting engaged after the New Year and is having a baby tomorrow!"

Jia Dongxu snorted coldly: "Well, then you better hurry up, otherwise you won't be able to have a baby next year or the year after."

After saying that, he went home shaking his head.

But as soon as he entered the room, Jia Dongxu pulled Qin Huairu aside and whispered to her.

"Wife, you didn't see it just now, Xu Damao bought a new set of clothes and a pair of new leather shoes. He was so proud of it."

Qin Huairu nodded when she heard this, but said nothing.

What could she say?

You can't praise Xu Damao in front of Jia Dongxu, right?

With Jia Dongxu's petty personality, he would definitely be angry.

Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't say anything, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but said, "Wife, go ask our mother for some money. Let's go buy new clothes tomorrow. You see, you have been wearing this cotton-padded jacket for several years."
