Siheyuan: Superb comprehension? All skills are perfect

Although today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the check-in system seems to be not very effective and only one voucher was given.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Lin Xiangdong checked the credentials given by the sign-in system and immediately discarded them, and then obtained three ability fragments.

You have to know that it takes ten items to upgrade a skill, so three pieces alone are obviously not enough.

The sign-in system really helped me when I first came here, but recently I found that the rewards of this system are too meager.

What we get every day is usually just trivial things, such as a few cents, a little food, etc., which are not worth mentioning.

Most of the vouchers were eventually torn up in exchange for skill points, but there were occasional exceptions that excited him, after all, skill upgrades were so attractive.

Improving skills through your own efforts is a very difficult process, but using skill points directly is much easier.

Instead of having breakfast at home, Lin Xiangdong and his wife decided to go straight to Lou's house.

The Lou family has prepared a rich variety of food for the Spring Festival, including chicken, duck, fish, seafood and fruit.

They had breakfast there and lunch in the same place.

Lin Xiangdong chatted with Lou Zhenhua, the owner of the Lou family, about current affairs and appreciated chess and calligraphy.

In the afternoon, the couple returned to their courtyard residence.

As you walk into Nanluoguxiang, you can see some neighbors still posting couplets to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Just like the one the Lin family completed yesterday, this couplet was also written by their old neighbor.

Because the old man has beautiful handwriting, many people in the yard would invite him to write couplets for their homes during every festival.

Usually, if they were given a dime or two or some food such as peanuts as a reward, the old man would be happy to help them write.

As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, Lin Xiangdong and his wife Lou Xiao'e immediately felt strange - a group of people had already gathered there.

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui sat down around a long table.

Meanwhile the deaf old lady was also nearby.

It looked as if the whole yard was holding a mass meeting.

But why organize a mass protest on the first day of the new year?

Lin Xiangdong and Lou Xiaoe looked at each other in confusion.

When the old man saw Lin Xiangdong and his wife appear, he said, "Dongzi, a mass meeting is going on now."

Lin Xiangdong was somewhat puzzled by the fact that a mass meeting was actually being held, and it was during the Spring Festival!

So which household had the trouble?

Looking around the scene, we can see that half of Xu Damao's right eye is black - he was obviously hit.

Grandma Jia lay on the ground, not caring at all about how cold it was outside. Even kind-hearted people like Ms. Qin tried to help her up but were unable to do so because her body was so heavy.

The most miserable one was Bang Geng. He had a bump between his eyebrows and marks of someone's footprints on his face, and there was even a skin injury on the tip of his nose.

The "idiot" Zhuzi glared at Xu Damao with anger, as if he thought the latter had committed something unforgivable.

Faced with this, Lin Xiangdong asked in confusion: "What happened to the old man?"

Lou Xiao'e was also very curious.

"It turned out that Xu Damao kicked the stick and hit it, and then Zhuzi punched Xu Damao," this was the answer given by the old man.

Although the words of the three elders may seem casual, there must be a reason for them.

Before Lin Xiangdong could ask further questions, the two elders, Liu Haizhong, spoke first.

"This morning, Fang Geng led Xiao Dang to Xu Damao's house to celebrate the New Year. As soon as they opened their mouths, they asked for red envelopes. As a result, Xu Damao kicked them directly. Then Sha Zhu couldn't stand it and punched Xu Damao. In fact, the first day of the New Year was not quiet."

Jia Zhang's sharp eyes stared at Xu Damao fiercely, as if she wanted to kill him. Even Qin Huairu looked at him with a blaming look.

For Fang Geng, he was looking directly at Sha Zhu.

Xiaodang standing by looked very embarrassed.

"The child was congratulating you, but you just kicked him. Look, Fang Geng's forehead is bruised and his nose is broken. How can there be people like you in the world? You are simply a bad seed." The deaf old lady knocked the ground with her stick to support him, accusing Xu Damao with a serious face.

As the old lady spoke, everyone began to agree with her opinion.

In this courtyard, the deaf old lady has a very high prestige, and even Yi Zhonghai has to respect her.

"I was wrong? Why don't you talk about Sha Zhu's behavior? Under his influence, Fang Geng brought his sister to me this morning to ask for a red envelope. It wouldn't do if it was less, it had to be three yuan, the more the better; otherwise, he said that I, Xu Damao, couldn't find a wife. You guys come and tell me, how could such a thing happen?" Xu Damao pointed his finger at Sha Zhu, hoping to get fair opinions.

Through Xu Damao's words, Lin Xiangdong understood the situation.

In the original plot, it was indeed Sha Zhu who instigated Fang Geng and his sister to go to the house to ask for red envelopes.

Sha Zhu's original intention was to play a trick on Xu Damao. Unfortunately, Xu Damao was not going to compromise.

If Xu Damao had a partner, the situation might be different, but now he is single. When Fang Geng said that "he can't find a partner", Xu Damao kicked him out without any hesitation.

After Xu Damao finished speaking, Liu Haizhong immediately started criticizing Sha Zhu.

In addition to Liu Haizhong, many others also came out to support Xu Damao.

"Okay, let's talk about the problem of Shazhu later. Let's first talk about the incident of Xu Damao beating the child. It would have been fine if you didn't give the child New Year's money, but why did he hit him? Look at how clear the mark left by the kick is." Yi Zhonghai spoke up immediately and turned the focus to other aspects.

It was obvious to everyone that the problem lay with Sha Zhu, but the old lady and Yi Zhonghai both took a protective attitude in handling the matter.

"Damn Xu Damao! You raped my grandson. Old Jia, Dongxu, take Xu Damao away!" Jia Zhang cried and slapped her thighs hard.

"Our Fang Geng is still a child. He doesn't understand anything at all." Qin Huairu said as she wiped away her tears.

Just as Lou Xiao'e was about to speak out in support of Xu Damao, Lin Xiangdong quickly stopped her.

From his perspective, Xu Damao did nothing wrong, and the real problem was Sha Zhu. But in the eyes of everyone, the child was ignorant and his injuries made people feel pity.

In Yi Zhonghai's handling of the matter, he emphasized the fact that Xu Damao kicked someone, but the fact that Sha Zhu instigated the child and punched him was glossed over.

To some extent, Sha Zhu's character may have been caused by Yi Zhonghai's indulgence.

Maybe we can look at it from another angle: if Sha Zhu is Fang Geng, then the deaf old lady is Jia Zhang, and Yi Zhonghai is Qin Huairu, except that she is more deeply hidden.

Regarding the current **, Lin Xiangdong thought that he could just watch the show. Or should he help Xu Damao? Or should he help He Yuzhu and Banggeng?

"That guy asked for three yuan as a lucky money and also said that I couldn't find a partner. I was angry at the time. Ultimately, this matter is He Yuzhu's responsibility," Xu Damao explained.

"Banggeng and Xiaodang kowtowed to you to ask for New Year's money. What's wrong with that? If they kowtowed to me, three dollars would be nothing. I would just give them five dollars." He Yuzhu replied in a very generous manner.

What He Yuzhu didn't expect was that when he said this, Zhao Dayong's son Zhao Weimin suddenly walked up to him and knelt down on both knees: "Happy Spring Festival, Uncle He, I'll be satisfied with a little New Year's money."

This made He Yuzhu feel extremely surprised.

Then Xu Damao burst into laughter, while Zhao Dayong had a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

"Brother Yuzhu, it's not nice to just talk and not do anything. Give me the New Year's money soon!" Xu Damao said jokingly while laughing.

If it had not happened to him, He Yuzhu would have certainly just stood by and watched coldly. Now he is extremely embarrassed!

In this day and age, giving a child a dime as New Year's gift is considered very generous.

This guy actually broke into Xu Damao's house and asked for three dollars as a New Year's gift. He is really ignorant of the world.

He Yuzhu originally thought that Xu Damao would just let the matter go, but he never expected that he would not give up so easily.

Everyone was looking at Sha Zhu at this time.

But he was really heartbroken to see He Yuzhu happily take out five dollars and put it into Zhao Dayong's child's pocket.

If it was a good joke, maybe I would consider it.

After all, five dollars is a considerable amount of money.

A pound of pork costs only about 70 cents, and five dollars is enough to exchange for more than ten pounds of pork. Of course, you need a meat ticket to have the opportunity to buy it.

At this moment, He Yuzhu was in a dilemma.

He Yuzhu is a person who cares about face. Once he says something, it is like spilled water that cannot be taken back!

"My brother was just joking." This time it was He Yushui's turn to speak.

"I think He Yuzhu just farted loudly." Xu Damao said mockingly.

He Yuzhu couldn't accept Xu Damao's sarcasm.

Finally, he made up his mind and took out five dollars and stuffed it into Zhao Weimin's hand.

Zhao Weimin, who earned five dollars, was naturally very happy.

Including Zhao Weimin's mother, grandmother and his father Zhao Dayong, they were all very happy.

In order to celebrate the coming of the New Year, the Zhao family spent a lot of money and planned to live frugally after the New Year. But now Sha Zhu generously gave Zhao Weimin five dollars. In this way, their life after the New Year will not have to be too tight and they should have no problem filling their stomachs every day.

Yan Jiedi wanted to kneel down and pay homage to He Yuzhu but was stopped by her father.

Although the age difference between them is not big, their seniority is the same.

Generally speaking, it is common for members of the younger generation to accept New Year's money when visiting their elders; however, when both parties are of the same generation, giving New Year's money is not reasonable.

Therefore, people including Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangfu could only watch with envy.

Seeing that his brother really took out five dollars and gave it to Zhao Dayong's son Zhao Weimin, He Yushui was so angry that he was speechless.

Even the old man couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

In the eyes of Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu and others, He Yuzhu is indeed a real idiot.

"Did you see that? You have to learn from me." Although he felt sad inside, he had to pretend to be generous on the surface and still show his humor in front of Xu Damao.
