Zhu Zirui, who was waiting at the entrance of the courtyard, muttered, "They won't even let me in. Are you afraid to see a grown man changing his clothes? It's as if there's some treasure at home."

I have to say, there is really a treasure at home.

"Zhu Zirui, what are you mumbling about?" Lou Xiao'e came out and asked.

"My brother-in-law is like a chaste man. He just changed his clothes and didn't let me into the house. It's like I'm a shrew."

"I won't let you watch it, do whatever you want." Lou Xiao'e said deliberately to make him angry.

In a corner of the old city where prosperity and ancient charm interweave, there is a small courtyard hidden. It seems to be telling the story of the 1960s and welcoming its new owner with a unique style.

This small courtyard is about 200 square meters, with a compact and elegant layout. There are four main rooms, with blue bricks and gray tiles and gently swaying eaves.

The doors and windows still retain their simplicity and elegance.

There are four wing rooms, which are neatly distributed on both sides of the main house. They can be used as study rooms or guest rooms. Each wing room is carefully decorated, with traditional elements while still being convenient and comfortable.

In a corner of the courtyard is a small vegetable patch. Next to the vegetable patch is a small and exquisite garden with a cobblestone path and neatly trimmed bushes on both sides.

In the center of the courtyard is a small pond with clear water.

Beside the pond, a quaint and elegant pavilion stands quietly, with its roof covered with green tiles and eaves rising on the four corners.

There are stone tables and stone benches in the pavilion, which are perfect for cooling off and basking in the sun.

The entire courtyard, from the inside to the outside, exudes exquisiteness in every detail. It can be seen that the designer really put a lot of thought into it.

"Auntie, I brought my wife here. Come and see if she is pretty." Xu Damao started shouting as he entered the yard.

Aunt Chen, who was putting things away, heard Xu Damao's shout and laughed, "Come in quickly, we can all lend a hand. I said I didn't want to take this pile of junk, but this damn old man insisted on contradicting me."

"My dear, I find that you are becoming more and more wasteful. The prices in this city are much more expensive than where we are. How much money do you have to spend to buy the things you don't bring?" Grandpa Zhisheng complained.

"I say, old man, are you tired of living a hard life? With your financial situation, there is nothing you can't afford?" Xu Damao stepped into the house.

"You know shit. You are going to destroy all the fine traditions passed down from our ancestors." After the old man finished cursing, he turned around and saw Xu Damao, Lou Xiao'e, and the little fat boy Zhu Zirui entering the house.

Seeing this, Aunt Chen quickly put down her work, and came over to hold Lou Xiao'e's hand, "Tsk tsk, no wonder Damao keeps talking about his wife. Old man, look at how pretty this girl is. She's so pretty and lively. Damao, you're so lucky."

Lou Xiao'e was about to speak when the old man spoke first, "What's the point of having good looks? Who knows, he might be like this kid, with a mind like a sieve, and he only knows how to fool people like us."

"Old man, what you said is not accurate. Damao and I don't just fool the elderly, we even spare three-year-old children. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. If there is a child in our neighborhood, I promise to trick all the candies in his hand into giving them to you to eat." Lou Xiao'e joked with a smile.

"Look, this person is also full of bad intentions." The old man said to his wife.

"Hahaha, she's a smart girl, and a perfect match for Damao. Come, help me tidy up, otherwise I won't be able to move around." Aunt Chen took Lou Xiao'e's hand and walked past a few people and continued to clean up.

Xu Damao originally wanted to take Zhu Zirui to work together first, and then deal with the old man after the work was done.

"Whose family is this fat boy from?" asked the old man.

Zhu Zirui was worried that he couldn't find an opportunity to talk. "Grandpa, I'm from the old Zhu family. You can call me Zirui, or Ruizi."

"What's the big deal? I think the little fat boy is fine."

"Okay, if you think it's good, just call me. I may not agree to it anyway."

"Fuck, these two people's mouths look like they are rented."

"Old man, are you speaking in a colloquial way or insulting me?" Zhu Zirui asked innocently.

"Swearing." The old man replied without hesitation.

"This colloquialism is very consistent with your temperament." Zhu Zirui said to himself.

Xu Damao couldn't help laughing out loud, "Ruizi, don't you call yourself the leader of the chess world? You've come to the right place this time. Play a few games with this old man."

When the old man heard the word chess, he instantly became excited and asked, "Little Fatty, can you play chess?"

Zhu Zirui said confidently, "I am a veteran in the chess world."

So, the old and the young began their performance.

These two people are playing chess, which is quite lively.

He will regret his move when he should, cheat when he should, and steal chess pieces when he disagrees with something.

After a fierce fight, the old man finally won. "

However, the victor did not feel the slightest bit of joy. "You are such a master, how can you say you are a master?"

Zhu Zirui spread his hands and said, "You've eaten all the chess pieces, so now you're left with only your hands."

The laughter in the house made this slightly strange courtyard suddenly feel very familiar.

Even old man Zhisheng laughed out loud, "Little Fatty, you are a talented person. In the future, come here often and play a few games with me."

"Then I won't refuse. After all, we are evenly matched and we can learn from each other." Zhu Zirui responded happily.

Xu Damao said as he moved the boxes, "You two are a pair of bad chess players. You will definitely get worse and worse as time goes by. What's the point of learning from you?"

"You're so slow in doing your work and trying to do two things at once. You're even laughing at us with a smug look on your face." The old man scolded.

"You are so ashamed to say that. Li Huaide even called in people to clean up the house, but you still chased them away.

I really don't know what you are thinking. You don't do the work yourself and you don't let others help you.

Every day, we two are also burdened with suffering." Xu Damao complained.

"Do some work and see how wronged you are. Did I beg you to do it?"

"Humph, if I didn't feel sorry for my aunt, do you think I would be willing to do it?"

"You know nothing. I didn't let them do it for my own reasons. I let you two do it because I think highly of you. Don't be ungrateful.

Besides, if you don’t invite me, would I come?

Damn it, I'll just scold you for a few words and that's it, what's the point of being poor?"

"Why shouldn't I deal with you? I just said a few words to you, why are you still dealing with me? You can set the fire, but I can't light the lamp." Xu Damao said unconvinced.

"I have the ability to set fire, do you? Tell me what you have?

Forget about cleaning up the house for me. Even if you build a house for me, just ask around in this city and see how many people will be happy to death.

Why did I ask you to answer it? Why did I ask you to do the work?

If you don't believe it, go find Li Huaide now and tell him what I said. Ask him to come and empty my chamber pot every day. Do you think he would be willing to do that?

It's bullshit."

A scolding wakes the dreamer up!

There is no stupid person in this room, especially Xu Damao.

He knew that the old man was doing this for his own good.

But he never thought of using his old man's identity to benefit himself.

In Xu Damao's heart, he already regarded the old couple as his own relatives.

This is also why Mr. Zhisheng is willing to pave a smooth road for Xu Damao.
