Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Yi Zhonghai went to the backyard, but did not go directly to find Xu Damao. Instead, he went to Liu Haizhong's house first.

"Second brother, this Xu Damao is going to heaven. Do you know what happened today?"

When Liu Haizhong heard what Yi Zhonghai said, his face suddenly turned dark. You are the second child, your whole family is the second child... No, you are the only one in your family who has a second child.

He cursed Yi Zhonghai in his heart, but he didn't show it. Liu Haizhong felt that he was going to be a leader, so he had to be shrewd. "Old Yi, are you talking about the factory notifying him to go to the countryside?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "Yes, that's it. It may not seem like a big deal, but if it's not handled properly, it could implicate the three of us."

Liu Haizhong's big head is not as smart as Yi Zhonghai's. He couldn't figure out how he could implicate them, so he frowned and said, "No way, no matter how you look at it, it's the factory's business, how could it implicate us?"

"Think about it, if Xu Damao angered the factory and was fired, would his work relationship be transferred to the street office? The street office would definitely ask why Xu Damao was fired? Did the three of us fail to play the role we should have when this happened? Why didn't we give Xu Damao the right guidance on his ideological issues when he was in the hospital?"

Yi Zhonghai expanded on what Sha Zhu had just said.

After listening to this, Liu Haizhong thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case. He asked with some concern: "So what do you mean?"

Yi Zhonghai pondered and said, "I think we should give him some advice. As long as we do what we should do, even if Xu Damao is fired from the factory, the street office can't say that we didn't do our job well, right? After all, we gave him some advice, but he refused to listen. What can we do?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, that makes sense, let's do it!"

At this time, Yan Bugui also hurried over and asked as soon as they met: "What happened? I heard from Sha Zhu that it seemed to be quite serious?"

Yi Zhonghai pulled Yan Bugui aside and repeated what he had just said to Liu Haizhong. Yan Bugui's reaction was even more intense. After all, his family's situation was one of the most difficult in the compound, and he cared a lot about the welfare of the civilized compound. He absolutely could not let such a thing happen.

After a brief discussion, the three of them walked towards Xu Damao's house together.

Liu Haizhong acted like a leader and led the way into Xu Damao's house. Xu Damao was sitting in the house drinking alone. Sun Xiu ignored him and didn't even say a word of persuasion. He just picked up the bowl, picked up some dishes, and ate by himself.

"Da Mao, what's wrong with you? Are you drinking alone?" Liu Haizhong said as he sat down with a straight face.

When Yan Bugui saw the dishes on the table, he also sat down silently.

When Sun Xiu saw this, he didn't say anything. He just stood up and took the bowl to eat nearby.

Yi Zhonghai also sat on the stool that Sun Xiu had given up and said, "Da Mao, we have heard about what happened just now. We came here to..."

Xu Damao interrupted him without waiting for him to finish, "Uncle, don't talk about these annoying things. Since the three uncles are here, let's have a drink together."

Xu Damao's alcohol tolerance was average to begin with, and he had already drunk nearly a pound of wine. He didn't even bother to think about the good wine and food he had prepared, and directly invited the three of them to drink.

"That's great, we will benefit from Damao." Yan Bugui was afraid that Yi Zhonghai would refuse, so he quickly responded.

After saying that, he stood up and took out three cups from the cupboard. His movements were as quick and efficient as if he was at home, and there was no sense of strangeness at all.

Liu Haizhong had already had a drink at home just now, and he thought that he and his friends came here to do ideological work for Xu Damao, so he just sat down and drank. It would be difficult to say what happened next.

Just as he was about to refuse, Yan Bugui poured him a glass of wine, stuffed it into his hand and said, "Old Liu, look at Damao, he is so enthusiastic in inviting us. If we don't drink a glass, it would be too disrespectful to Damao, don't you think?"

The last sentence was said to Xu Damao. Xu Damao looked at Liu Haizhong with a drunken look in his eyes and said, "Second uncle, Third uncle, what you said makes sense. If you don't drink, you are looking down on me, Xu Damao! Come, let me toast to the three uncles."

After this was said, not to mention Liu Haizhong, even Yi Zhonghai found it difficult to refuse.

Yan Bugui had already raised his glass and clinked it with Xu Damao happily. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong looked at each other and could only raise their glasses to clink them with Xu Damao, then drank the glass helplessly.

"Da Mao, this time we came here..." Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth but was interrupted by Xu Damao again.

"Uncle, let's not talk about other things first, let's drink to our heart's content first. Good things come in pairs, let's go one more." Xu Damao opened another bottle of wine and filled the three people's glasses while speaking.

After another drink, I don't know how Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong felt, but Yan Bugui was very satisfied. He ate his food and said, "It's been a long time since we sat together for a drink. I hope everything goes well."

After a few drinks, Yi Zhonghai felt a headache. It was not appropriate to invite Yan Bugui to such an occasion with wine and food. Now even Liu Haizhong forgot what he came for and started drinking happily.

"Uncle, how about my wine..." Xu Damao fell on the table halfway through his sentence and remained silent.

Liu Haizhong saw it and immediately grinned and said, "It seems that Damao still needs to be trained in his drinking capacity. With this amount of alcohol, he is destined not to be presentable. How can he get drunk in front of the leader?"

Yan Bugui also drank the wine in the glass happily, exhaled a breath of wine and said: "It's good wine, but Xu Damao can't drink much. He fell down before I finished drinking. As for Lao Yi and Lao Liu, let's go with another one."

Yi Zhonghai was completely speechless. What on earth was he doing here today?

It seems that persuasion is fruitless today. What else can he do? He should just focus on the wine and food in front of him. The wine is almost finished and the dishes have been almost finished by Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong. He quickly picked up a few pieces with chopsticks, otherwise he would suffer a loss.

With Yan Bugui around, there would be no leftovers of these dishes, and he even soaked up the soup with his steamed bread.

After putting Xu Damao on the bed, Yi Zhonghai said to Sun Xiu a little embarrassedly: "Xiu, I'm really sorry for today."

Sun Xiu smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay. It's only natural for the three of you to come and have a meal. It's getting late, so you should go back and rest."

Sha Zhu and Li Dongfang, who were waiting to watch the show, saw the three old men walking out of Xu Damao's house with rosy faces. They looked at each other and thought, did the talk go smoothly?
