Siheyuan: Sending my younger brother to the countryside to raise pigs

"What? Bringing two bottles of wine and a piece of meat to Xu Damao's house for dinner? There's no food for him at home or something, so he has to go to someone else's house to eat?"

This wasteful thing.

When did your relationship with Xu Damao become so good?

If you have too much money to spend, you can give it to me.

What are the conditions of Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e's family? What do they lack from him?

What is really missing is me, his father.

What an ungrateful person, he treats others better than his own father.

"Why did your eldest brother go to Xu Damao's house for dinner? No, since he was invited to dinner, why should he bring anything? I went to get it back. It's really ignorant."

After saying that, Yan Fugui prepared to go out.

Yan Jiekuang quickly stopped him and said, "My eldest brother said that you can't go to someone's house empty-handed when you visit. This is a courtesy. Dad, are you sure you can bring the things back when you go?"

Yan Fugui stopped.

Not sure, no, to be exact, I definitely can’t get it back.

The boss is very opinionated now. Even though he didn't give him face before, he is more likely to give him face now.

Yan Jie Di also said, "Dad, just take a rest. Don't end up not getting your things back and offending people again.

Big brother has finally been kind to us and has given us a lot of things. If you leave now, our family will probably be poor again."

Yan Fugui's heart trembled, but he still said with hope: "No, your elder brother will not do this to me."

He felt that he had been getting along well with the eldest brother recently, and there was a lot of fatherly love and filial piety between them.

However, this confidence did not last long.

Thinking back to the past few months, I can't help feeling uneasy, but I can't bring myself to do it.

He just hopes that the other three people in the family can help him and give him a way out so that he won't look so embarrassed.

But unfortunately, it is obvious that the three people in the family do not have such intentions.

"Well, then go ahead."

"Good luck to you. Whether we can have pork tonight depends on you."

No, from the tone of your voice it sounds like you want to send me away directly.

If others don’t give me a step, I will create one myself.

"Didn't your elder brother tell us why we were going to Xu Damao's house for dinner?"

"He said that it was because my elder brother spoke up for Xu Damao a few days ago, and Xu Damao invited him to dinner to express his gratitude."

"So it's because of this. I should ask you."

Well, although this staircase is a bit difficult, at least I can go down.

Yan Fugui turned around and went back to the room. "Xu Damao is quite kind and knows how to be grateful. His father-in-law is a shareholder of the factory. It will only benefit the boss to associate with him."

There was no mention of picking up the items.

Even though this matter was in the past, no one mentioned it again, and the family happily ate snacks.

Yan Jiecheng came to Xu Damao's house.

The person who opened the door was Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e took the things Yan Jiecheng brought and warmly invited him into the house.

"You said you were coming, so come on, what else are you bringing?"

“I bought it when I passed by the vegetable market.”

It was the first time for Yan Jiecheng to come to Xu Damao's house. He looked around and found that she was worthy of being the daughter of a big capitalist. The furniture in her house was much higher grade than that of ordinary people.

The sound of sizzling cooking could be heard from the kitchen.

After a quick glance, I didn't see Xu Damao.

Before he could ask, Lou Xiao'e took the initiative to say, "Please sit down first. Xu Damao has gone out to buy vegetables and will be back soon. There are vegetables still being fried in the pot. I'll go and help myself first."

"Well, just do your thing and don't worry about me."

Lou Xiao'e twisted her slender waist, turned around and went back into the kitchen to get busy.

The aroma of cooking oil wafted out from the kitchen.

He sat down at the dining table.

After a while, Xu Damao came in carrying a bag of vegetables and a fish. When he saw Yan Jiecheng, he immediately smiled as if he had seen a brother.

"Have you been here for a while?"

"No, I just got here too."

"I went to look for you after get off work, but the people in the cafeteria told me that you hadn't come back yet, so I left first."

"Well, the last train took some time."

The two chatted casually, like a pair of familiar old friends, and the previous resistance completely disappeared.

Lou Xiao'e came out carrying a plate of food.

The food was steaming hot and looked delicious.

Yan Jiecheng: "Don't make too much. We can't eat much either. Let's sit down and eat together."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, you guys eat first. You men waste time drinking. Damao, treat brother Jie Cheng well."

"I know. Go and do your thing."

Xu Damao unscrewed a bottle of soju and poured a glass for each of them. "Don't worry about her, let's drink first. Come, one of you goes first. I toast to you. Thanks to you for speaking up that day, I was saved from an unprovoked disaster."

Yan Jiecheng picked up his glass and clinked it with Xu Damao. "You're welcome. It's just a small favor. I didn't do anything. I just said a few words."

The two of them each took a big sip, and the liquor passed through their throats like swallowing a mouthful of fire, burning from the throat all the way to the stomach, and the blood in their bodies boiled.

It is worthy of being called Shaoxing liquor, the purity is so perfect that it deserves the word "Shaoxing".

Or maybe it's that people today are sincere, as can be seen from this wine. If it were in my era, I would probably be able to mix out three or five more bottles.

After a glass of wine, tonight's meal officially began.

The two chatted and drank at the same time, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Xu Damao: "Your help was a big help to me. If you hadn't spoken up that day, I would have gone to the police station."

Yan Jiecheng took a bite of the dish and started to taste it. It was rare for Lou Xiao'e, a rich second-generation, to be able to cook.

"It's not that serious. Even if I didn't say anything, the three uncles wouldn't really send you to the police station. This matter is not as serious as you think."

"Humph, don't try to make excuses for them. Don't I know who they are? I've seen through them a long time ago. I'm stupid, too, to actually expect them to help prove my innocence."

Yan Jiecheng raised his glass and clinked it with Xu Damao's. "Alright, don't think about it. You've just suffered an unexpected disaster. Just take it as a lesson. Fortunately, it's just a false alarm and it's not real."

"you're right."

"You can find out whether it was someone else's trick or you did it yourself..."

Xu Damao shook his head and said in annoyance, "How can I check? There is no way to check. I have no memory of what happened that night. However, I have a strong feeling that someone is definitely trying to trick me. Don't let me catch him, or I will skin him alive."

Yes, your hunch was correct, that person was me.

Xu Damao patted Yan Jiecheng on the shoulder, then changed the subject and continued, "Although I suffered an unexpected disaster, I also gained a good brother. Jiecheng, I misunderstood you in the past. I apologize to you. From now on, you are my real brother. Come, I'll toast you a glass."

You don't have to.

I don't want to be your brother.

Yan Jiecheng would never say this to his face. Drunken talk is just nonsense and should not be taken seriously. He might forget it all when he wakes up the next day.

All the food was served and Lou Xiao'e also sat at the table.

She took the initiative to take on the responsibility of pouring wine for the two of them.
