Xu Fugui immediately found a chair and moved it over to He Daming.

"Daming, please sit down. This room is a bit shabby. I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."

He Daming heard Xu Fugui's self-deprecation and waved his hands.

"Brother Xu, you are too modest, your family is no worse than my eldest brother's.

By the way, where is your son Xu Damao? "

Upon hearing this, Xu Fugui immediately shouted into the house, "Da Mao, come out quickly, your uncle Daming is here, why don't you come over and say hello."

When Xu Damao heard his father's shout, he immediately ran out of the house.

"Dad, Uncle Daming."

He Daming was quite pleased to hear Xu Damao calling him "Uncle Daming".

"Da Mao, and Brother Xu, I came to your house today specifically to take Damao to Shancheng and arrange for him to join the army."

Xu Fugui had been looking forward to this day for a long time, because He Daming had promised to arrange for his son Xu Damao to join the army in October, but there had been no movement. He thought He Daming had forgotten about it, but now he realized that he had remembered it all along.

Now that I heard He Daming bring it up, I couldn't help but feel happy.

"Da Mao, why don't you thank Uncle Daming quickly."

Xu Damao handed He Daming a cup of tea respectfully.

"Uncle Daming, please have some tea."

He Daming accepted it with pleasure.

Then Xu Fugui changed the subject.

"Brother Daming, if my Damao does anything wrong in the future, you can scold him without hesitation."

He Daming laughed when he heard what Xu Fugui said.

"Hahaha...Brother Xu, I think after I get to the military camp, I don't even need to show up. Damao will experience what it means to be tempered and endure hardships. My nephew He Yuzhu also went through this back then."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Daming looked at Xu Damao in front of him with a serious face.

"Da Mao, I'm going to remind you one last time. The military camp is not your home. It's easy to get in but hard to get out. If you can't stand the loneliness and hardship, you'd better give up as soon as possible."

Hearing He Daming's cold words, Xu Damao's face turned red.

"Uncle Daming, don't worry. I, Xu Damao, will never let you down. I will never embarrass you."

He Daming was relieved to see Xu Damao was so confident.

"Good! Very good, you are indeed from the same compound.

Damao, pack up now and follow me."

When Xu Damao heard that they had to set off immediately, he showed a surprised expression.

"Ah! Uncle Daming, are we leaving now?"

He Daming showed a calm expression.

"Otherwise, don't you want to join the army?"

Xu Damao shook his head repeatedly.

“No…no…no…Uncle Daming, you misunderstood. I will go and prepare it now.”

With the help of Xu Fugui and her wife, Xu Damao's luggage was soon ready.

At this time, Xu Damao was in high spirits, full of anticipation and novelty about joining the army. Only He Daming knew in his heart that this kid would definitely regret it when he really arrived at the military camp.

Then Xu Damao followed He Daming with his luggage, ready to leave the courtyard.

As soon as they came out, they happened to run into Liu Haizhong in the aisle.

Liu Haizhong saw Xu Damao carrying a large bag of luggage and following behind He Daming. He was a little curious and asked casually,

"Da Mao, where are you going?"

Facing the question from Second Uncle Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao replied calmly,

"Second uncle, I will follow Uncle Daming to join the army."

After hearing the news, Liu Haizhong's expression changed several times, first surprise, then envy, and finally loss.

Because he also wanted to join the army. If he could become a battalion commander like He Yuzhu and then retire, his future would definitely be limitless. However, given his temperament and age, he should just think about it. To be honest, he was not suitable for being a soldier.

For this, he could only offer his blessing.

"Da Mao, I, your uncle, wish you a smooth military career and a safe return."

Xu Damao was quite impressed by Liu Haizhong's words.

"Thank you, Uncle..."

After a while, He Daming and Xu Damao arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and He Daming's two guards also came to greet them at this time.

"Chief..."

He Daming nodded.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Liu, let's go."

The two guards responded in unison: "Yes, Chief."

Just as He Daming and the others were walking towards the entrance of Nanluoguxiang.

Suddenly there was a shout from behind.

"Brother Daming, wait a moment."

He Daming turned his head in surprise and was quite surprised to find that the person coming was Yi Zhonghai. However, out of politeness, he waited there for a while.

"Brother Zhonghai, what's the matter?"

In response to He Daming's question, Yi Zhonghai explained his purpose.

"Brother Daming, I just heard from your eldest brother that you are going back to the army. You may not have the authentic Erguotou of 49 Cities. Here are four bottles of wine. Take them first. You can take them out when you want to drink."

When He Daming heard what Yi Zhonghai said, he realized that this guy was probably trying to gain favor with him, but he didn't want to owe him a favor.

In view of this, He Daming directly found an excuse.

"Brother Zhong Hai, you are too polite, but the army has clear regulations that prohibit drinking. Please take it back. We have to catch the train, so I won't say more."

Afterwards, He Daming called his guards and Xu Damao beside him, and went to the entrance of the alley without looking back, leaving Yi Zhonghai alone and in a mess.

Yi Zhonghai is not a fool, he is smarter than anyone else, otherwise he would not be called the "God of Morality".

Seeing that He Daming was not interested in him, he was not discouraged at all and went straight back to the courtyard. He was determined to cling to the big tree of the He family.

....................

When Yi Zhonghai's wife Liu Guihua saw her husband coming back with Erguotou, she knew that he had failed in giving the wine to He Daming.

"Zhong Hai, what's wrong? He Daming won't accept it?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded.

"Wife, to be honest with you, I always feel like He Daming is intentionally distancing himself from me, even wary of me."

When Liu Guihua heard what Yi Zhonghai said, she expressed her own opinion as a woman.

"Zhong Hai, I think if things don't get bright in the east, they will get bright in the west. Since He Daming doesn't appreciate your kindness, you can find his elder brother He Daqing, or his nephew He Yuzhu. Anyway, as long as we have a good relationship with the He family, it will definitely be good for us."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement.

"Well, wife, you are right."
