Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

I drank two thermoses of water.

"Liu Haizhong is back. He's back!"

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, like the rising light of dawn, bringing hope to everyone in the courtyard.

Jiang Fan and Xu Damao both showed excited expressions and couldn't help but stand up and look for the figure in the bangs.

The brothers Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu also wanted to stand up and run to Liu Haizhong to complain first.

But both of them forgot about their physical condition and couldn't get up at all.

The slightest movement would cause a very numb feeling in my legs. It wasn't like my legs were numb, but when I dodged it, I felt a tingling sensation that made me want to laugh.

It's the kind where you know it's numb and you can control it, but when you actually move it, it feels strange and indescribable. It looks solid, but when your legs touch the ground, they give out, just like they've been used so many times in one night.

"Jiang Fan and Xu Damao, help me go see my father, and I will give you money." Liu Guangfu knelt on the ground with a ferocious expression on his face, and the tingling feeling had begun to appear.

Liu Guangqi was not much different, and the expression on his face was equally wonderful.

"Give me money, Brother Guangfu, how much can you give me?"

Yan Jiefang had just run to the backyard to watch the fun when he heard the words "give money" and appeared directly in front of Liu Guangfu.

"Help me over there, and I'll give you fifty cents."

"Row!"

Yan Jiefang was afraid that the business would be snatched away, so he helped Liu Guangfu out of the backyard.

Even Liu Guangqi's offer of more money didn't stop him. It wasn't that he didn't want to earn more, but he knew that a bird in the hand is worth a thousand in the bush, so he decided to take Liu Guangfu's five cents first.

Whether Liu Guangqi could move back was another matter, but Liu Guangfu would definitely live in the courtyard. It was clear who should be helped.

As soon as Liu Haizhong and Aunt Meng came back, they heard someone calling his name in the yard, as if to notify someone.

Both of them were a little surprised. "What's going on? Why are you shouting?"

"Old Liu, are there guests coming to our house?"

"What kind of guest is making such a commotion? Could it be a leader coming?" Liu Haizhong exclaimed, "Quickly clean up my appearance! I can't let the leader see me looking so disheveled, or he'll think I don't value him."

The two men did not enter the room. They put down the herbs in their hands and began to take care of their appearance.

"Dad, please come and give me justice."

Liu Haizhong heard this and before he could react, he felt an unidentified object on his calf. He looked down and saw Liu Guangfu holding him with a sad face.

"Third brother, why are you like this? And who gave you the wound on your face?"

"Dad, yes."

Before Liu Guangfu could complain to Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangqi's shrill voice rang out, "Dad! You're finally back. That bastard Liu Guangfu is such a traitor."

When Liu Guangqi arrived, he made the same choice as Liu Guangfu and immediately hugged Liu Haizhong's other leg.

The two brothers looked at each other and saw viciousness in each other's eyes.

Liu Guangfu learned his lesson in the afternoon, and the moment he saw Liu Guangqi, he put his hand on the weeds next to him.

The moment they looked at each other, he drafted something with his hand and stuffed it into Liu Guangqi's mouth!

What a good move of silence before the battle!

Chapter 436 Eating Ginger

Liu Guangqi really didn't expect that Liu Guangfu would do this to him. He was caught off guard and ate a mouthful of dirt and weeds.

"Dad, Liu Guangqi is a piece of shit. He wants to move back home today without your consent and even kick me out of the house, Dad!"

Liu Guangfu spoke in an exaggerated manner, throwing dirty water on Liu Guangqi.

"Bah, bah, bah! You're talking nonsense."

Liu Guangqi spat out the dirt in his mouth and explained to Liu Haizhong without caring about the nausea.

"Dad, you can't listen to him. I came back for a reason.

Ever since you taught me a lesson last time, I have deeply realized my mistake. I shouldn't have left you and my mother when I graduated.

I should have stayed by your side and accepted your teachings. Dad, I now understand that only by staying by your side can I make progress.

After all, people who have been to school and worked are more popular. Liu Guangqi's words made his bangs itch.

If the events of the past two days were not so fresh in his mind, he might have actually intended to help Liu Guangqi up and shout, "My dear son, you have finally come to your senses."

However, Liu Guangfu's eyes darkened. He was too anxious today, almost to the point of losing his mind. He shouldn't have had such a big conflict with Liu Guangqi.

Liu Guangqi's cool moves and Liu Haizhong's reaction a few days ago gave him a mysterious confidence, making him feel a little bit floating.

"Brother, oh brother, I really shouldn't have underestimated you."

Although Liu Haizhong was comforted by Liu Guangqi's words, he also saw the teasing looks from the people around him. This made him feel uncomfortable. He liked being looked at with envy, but not this kind of look.

"You two are totally unbecoming. You have no dignity at all in broad daylight. You are making a fool of yourself. Stand up right now!"

Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu struggled to stand up, but still supported themselves against the wall with one hand, looking as if they were exhausted.

"What kind of behavior are you two doing? You don't even know how to stand properly! Stand straight!" Liu Haizhong roared angrily. "Look at the way you're standing. Is that even decent?" I'd have thought you'd just come back from the Eight Great Hutongs.

Upon hearing this, Liu Guangqi and the other man immediately withdrew their hands and wanted to stand out with a tall and straight look, but in the end they couldn't hold back and fell down one after another.

This caused everyone to laugh again.

"Liu Haizhong, don't force them to stand properly. You'll be the same if you sit cross-legged for three or four hours."

"In the final analysis, it's all your fault, Old Liu, for coming back so late. What did you do today?"

"Do I need to ask? These three sons are useless. He must have gone for a physical examination and had another one." Xu Damao told the truth with a smile.

This also shocked Liu Haizhong and his wife. They didn't expect that someone could guess their intentions.

But immediately Aunt Meng yelled at Xu Damao, "Xu Damao, your mouth is useless. Believe it or not, I will sew it up for you."

"Aunt Meng, why are you so anxious? It was just a joke." Xu Damao naturally didn't know that what he said was the truth. Seeing that Aunt Meng was angry, he quickly laughed it off.

Liu Haizhong, unwilling to let everyone laugh at him, dragged Aunt Meng towards the backyard. He then turned around and shouted to Liu Guangqi and his brother, "If you two don't come back within half a minute, you don't have to come back."

This time it was Liu Guangqi who took the initiative, kicked Liu Guangfu down, and quickly ran towards the backyard.

Liu Guangfu cursed "Beast!" and followed him while enduring the pain.

Xu Damao looked unsatisfied and said, "Liu Haizhong is truly a master of education. His second son became a thief and was jailed, and the eldest and third sons were also fighting fiercely."

Jiang Fan said quietly, "Unkind parents lead to unfilial children. Liu Haizhong has always been partial, so it's no surprise that this is the result."

"That's not right. If that's the case, why does Liu Guangfu behave so filially?" Xu Damao asked in confusion.

"Why else? For the sake of the family property. Liu Guangtian has been imprisoned for twelve years and there's an 80% chance he'll die. Liu Guangqi has been away from home for a long time, so it's no surprise he's thinking this way."

Xu Damao suddenly understood why Liu Guangfu did this. If the Liu family split up according to the previous situation, Liu Guangfu would definitely not get anything.

But now, Liu Laoer is useless. If he kills Liu Laoda, the Liu family will fall into his hands.

"I didn't realize that Liu Guangfu could have such thoughts." Xu Damao said in a deep tone, as if he was meeting Liu Guangfu for the first time.

"You didn't realize it because there is only one male in your family, so you don't have to fight for the family property, it's yours." Jiang Fan complained.

"If that's what you said, will you still compete with Brother Ping'an for the family property in the future?"

Glancing at Xu Damao, Jiang Fan said, "Otherwise, you're not very generous. You need to broaden your horizons and stop focusing on the things left behind by the older generation."

How much money can Uncle Xu and his friends make in their lifetime? Follow your godfather, he will help you grow bigger and stronger, and create brilliance together.

Imagine standing on the tallest building in the city, looking down at the chassis you just shot down. What a view that would be."

Following Jiang Fan's suggestive words, Xu Damao seemed to have really arrived at the tall building. He looked to the left and heard the roar of machines and tens of thousands of workers working inside.

He looked to the right again.

A slap hit him in the face.

"Don't even look over there. You can't take it down there."

Jiang Fan said unhappily, not knowing what Xu Damao was thinking, but the look he gave that side was surprisingly fiery, like a man who had been hungry for three days seeing a roasted suckling pig.

"Then you don't have to hit me. Just say it." Xu Damao said with some resentment.

"Put away that nagging look of yours. What a shame." Jiang Fan complained.

"cut."

Then Xu Damao returned to his normal self and said, "Come to my house for dinner. Your sister-in-law will cook."

"You better get out of here. When she cooks, the shredded potatoes are disguised as shredded ginger, and the braised pork is disguised as chunks of ginger. Tell me, do you have a few acres of land in the countryside dedicated to growing ginger?"

Xu Damao smiled awkwardly. What else could he say? It was Lou Xiao'e who suddenly craved ginger during her pregnancy. His resourceful father-in-law had brought some over.

Then Lou Xiao'e began to show her cooking skills. Ginger is indispensable for all kinds of dishes. Xu Damao has been eating so much ginger these days that he almost turned himself into ginger.

Watching Jiang Fan run back home and close the door as if escaping for his life, Xu Damao had no choice but to accept his fate and return to the backyard.

"Da Mao, look at my new dish, stir-fried shredded ginger."

Xu Damao looked at the plate of ginger and felt like crying but had no tears.

Okay, okay, you don’t want to act anymore, right?

Chapter 437: Gift

At the Liu family, Liu Haizhong pointed at his two sons who were kneeling on the ground and gave them a severe scolding.

He and Aunt Meng had finally regained some of the feeling of their youth and were just looking for something exciting to do.

As a result, when he returned, his two sons gave him such a big blow. Although he didn't lose face like Liu Guangtian, he still lost face.

Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu were kneeling on the ground with their heads down, looking a little impatient. Liu Haizhong had been scolding them for more than ten minutes since they entered the room.

But he kept saying over and over again, "You guys have embarrassed me. It's so shameful!"

Both of them got calluses in their ears from listening so much.

I don’t know how long it took before Liu Haizhong stopped, took a big gulp of water, and then exhaled a breath of foul air.

"Get up and tell me what happened."

Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangqi started arguing again, and the noise made Liu Haizhong's head hurt.

"Okay, both of you speak one by one."

After looking at the expressions of his two sons, Liu Haizhong said something inexplicably, "Third son, you go first."

"Yes, Dad." Liu Guangfu looked at Liu Guangqi with some pride, and then told him what had happened.

However, he did not exaggerate too much this time. He just used some rhetorical techniques to belittle Liu Guangqi.

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong nodded thoughtfully and looked at Liu Guangqi, "Boss, do you have anything to say?"

"Dad, of course I have to tell you. I came back just to show my filial piety to you and Mom, and I don't have any other thoughts."

Liu Guangqi said this sincerely, with a very sincere attitude.

"But you still have work to do. Isn't running back and forth a waste of time?"

Seeing Liu Haizhong relent, Liu Guangqi quickly replied, "No, Dad, I get up a little earlier every day and rush to work early. I am a little tired. But as long as I can be with you and mom, this little hardship is nothing.

I also gave you and my mom a birthday present. It's outside. I'll get it for you."

Liu Haizhong nodded with some satisfaction. He was very pleased with Liu Guangqi's attitude and behavior, and Aunt Meng also smiled a little. After all, the two of them treated this eldest son who they had carefully nurtured differently.

Only Liu Guangfu lowered his head, hatred surging in his eyes.

"Dad, Mom, look, this is the birthday present I bought for you. I'm an unfilial son and made this present arrive two days late."

Liu Guangqi was kneeling on the ground, holding a pair of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles and a comb in his hands.

Liu Haizhong was very excited and quickly helped his eldest son up. "Good son, good son, I knew Guangqi that you are my most filial son."

Then he took the cloth shoes, looked at them left and right, and liked them very much.

"My dear, look at the workmanship of these cloth shoes. The material and the stitching are great."
