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

The clever Xu Damao keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"What am I talking about? I didn't even know you were on a blind date."

Xu Xin rolled her eyes at Xu Damao. She was just going to school, so why was her brother going on a blind date without telling her?

He Yushui, with whom she had an ordinary relationship, actually talked to her about the times they played together as children. During the conversation, she started talking about how her brother Shazhu was still single at such an old age.

Finally, he suddenly asked, "What's the name of your brother's blind date?"

Xu Xin was stunned. Her own brother was on a blind date? When did this happen? Even her own sister didn't know about it, but He Yushui knew about it?

Looking at He Yushui's inquiring eyes and strange behavior, she understood that he was here to gather information.

Xu Damao also realized that in order to keep this blind date secret, the only people who knew about it were him and his parents.

"That's good that you didn't say anything. It was probably that guy Sha Zhu who asked He Yushui to find you. I'm telling you..."

Xu Damao recounted the conflict he had with Sha Zhu that day.

"I understand. I won't talk to He Yushui anymore."

Xu Xin was lying on the table doing her homework, and listened to Xu Damao finish his words without raising her head.

"Good sister, I'll give you two dollars for pocket money."

Xu Damao took out two dollars from his pocket with satisfaction and gave them to Xu Xin. He was much better to his sister than Sha Zhu. At least Xu Xin was plump and white, unlike He Yushui who was skinny.

Xu Damao returned to his room and flipped through the Thirty-Six Stratagems again. "Damn it! Do I really have no talent for learning? I've read this book hundreds of times, it's almost torn apart, but why can't I learn anything?"

Xu Damao was so angry that he scratched his head and flipped through the book randomly. The pages rustled, making Xu Damao extremely irritated.

……

The next day was the weekend, so I didn’t have to go to work or school.

Yesterday, there were so many things that happened that were so huge, so many, and so exciting! It made everyone in the courtyard unable to sleep well that night.

Jiang Fan was the exception, after all, he was the trigger. But the fact that the matter was resolved in one day was beyond his expectations. Such efficiency!

Sha Zhu didn't sleep all night, cursing the old deaf woman in a low voice, scolding her for deceiving his feelings! She wasted so many of his meat tickets and food, she might as well feed the dogs!

Feed it to the dog and it will wag its tail when it sees him.

Feed it to the old deaf man, disgusting, make him feel sick.

"Yushui, did you find out from Xu Xin who Xu Damao's blind date is?"

Sha Zhu took a big bite of the steamed bun made of two-grain flour, as if it were the flesh of the old deaf man.

"No, she said she didn't know either. I guess Xu Damao didn't tell her.

I'll ask her when I get to school. Xu Damao just started dating, so it'll take some time before they get married."

He Yushui was also a little angry. They were all family, but Xu Damao hadn't told Xu Xin about his blind date. This meant her bike would be several days late.

After hearing this, Sha Zhu didn't ask any more questions. As long as Xu Damao was not married, he would have a chance.

Xu Damao tidied himself up. Today was the day he was going to the hospital for a check-up and he had an appointment with the Lou family.

The doctor for the examination was also found by Lou Bancheng himself. After all, if Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e had a child, their family background would look better.

Xu Wude went out first. Half an hour later, Xu Damao came to Jiang Fan's house, said a few words to Jiang Fan, and then left.

Xu Damao was so cautious because of what Xu Xin said to him yesterday.

Xu Damao could guess that Sha Zhu was up to something destructive. He knew Sha Zhu too well.

Now is a critical period for him, and no mistakes are allowed. After all, in terms of composition, the Sha Zhu family's composition is not bad.

Moreover, Sha Zhu is the successor of Tan family cuisine, and Lou Tan is also a member of the Tan family, which is a big plus.

What if Lou Tan prefers Sha Zhu, the successor of Tan family cuisine, then Xu Damao might not have a chance.

Chapter 108 Inspection

Not long after Xu Damao left, Yi Zhonghai also left.

The last time Yan Jiecheng was hospitalized, he and Sha Zhu came back from the hospital. Sha Zhu said that Yan Jiecheng was injured and his body was broken, so he could not have children.

This reminded him of some unpleasant things that happened in his youth.

When he was young, Yi Zhonghai was also a bohemian playboy. Moreover, because Aunt Wu had not gotten pregnant for two or three years after her marriage, Yi Zhonghai often looked for widows and secret mistresses at that time.

As long as someone got pregnant, he would divorce Aunt Wu and remarry, but no matter how hard he tried, it was of no use.

This made him doubt himself, but this thought did not last long in his mind.

Yan Jiecheng's experience reminded him of the time when he was young and got accidentally kicked in a fight with someone.

It was very painful at the time, but it lasted for two days and it didn't affect his normal life, so he didn't take it seriously.

And the incident with Yan Jiecheng reminded him of this matter again.

This happened again yesterday. Although Jia Dongxu is still willing to support them in their old age, he also hopes to have a child of his own.

After much thought, he decided to go to the hospital for a checkup to see if it was his problem, and if so, whether it could be cured.

When Xu Wude and his son arrived at the hospital, Lou Zhenhua and his wife and Lou Xiao'e were already there.

"Mr. Lou, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

In public, Xu Wude called Lou Zhenhua this way. If he continued to call him "Master," it would be inappropriate and would easily lead to accusations. Xu Damao also apologized.

Lou Zhenhua nodded. He was very satisfied with Xu Wude addressing him that way. "No problem, Damao. Now that we're here, let's get started. I've made all the arrangements."

Xu Damao naturally had no objection, and went to the relevant department for examination with Lou Xiaoe, and Luo Hu followed behind.

Xu Damao quickly finished extracting the sample, but he waited a while longer before coming out. Luo Hu followed him throughout the process.

Because Lou Zhenhua had a connection, and after spending some money, he was able to get the results by noon. (Simple tests were possible in this era.)

After the examination, Xu Wude and his son followed Lou Zhenhua to a teahouse to wait for the results.

Shortly after they left the hospital, Yi Zhonghai also arrived at the hospital.

Yi Zhonghai covered his face as soon as he entered the hospital.

"Next person."

Yi Zhonghai pushed the door open and scared Dr. Yu.

"Hey patient, the ENT department is next door, I'm in the men's department."

Doctor Yu saw that Yi Zhonghai had his face covered and thought he had a facial injury.

"Doctor, I'm not here to see your facial features, I'm here for the men's health consultation."

Yi Zhonghai quickly explained.

"Oh, then please sit down and tell me the specific problem."

Yi Zhonghai sat down, then stood up to check if the door was closed tightly. Then he said to Dr. Yu, "Doctor, this is what I am talking about. I have been married for more than 20 years and have no children. So I came here to check what the reason is."

"Comrade, whether or not you can have children depends on both the husband and wife. Of course, it could also be due to one person's absolute reasons."

Dr. Yu explained to Yi Zhonghai the issue of childbirth from a scientific perspective.

"If you want to check your fertility, take this and get some out. By the way, what's your name?"

"Yi... Buqun. Yi means easy, Buqun means outstanding."

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly changed his words and almost revealed his real name.

Doctor Yu gave Yi Zhonghai a container, wrote the three words "Yi Buqun" on it, and then gestured for him to exercise.

Yi Zhonghai covered his face and walked away holding something in his left hand.

Doctor Yu looked at Yi Zhonghai's trembling right hand and had a guess in his mind. Yi Zhonghai's illness was already a news item in the medical community.

Almost all doctors in the hospitals in Beijing knew about Yi Zhonghai, a man with muscle tremors that was completely different from Parkinson's.

As for the different names, Dr. Yu doesn't care. Nowadays, you can shout a lot of names if you just shout "Ergou, Tiezhu, Anti-Japanese War, Victory".

It is not surprising that someone has a nickname. Maybe Yi Zhonghai’s nickname is Yi Buqun?

Yi Zhonghai took his things and went to the bathroom.

He tried to imagine what his wife looked like, but it was no use. He then thought about his former lover, but it had been so long that he could not remember her.

After thinking about it, he thought of Qin Huairu.

It's finally out.

Out of respect for himself, Yi Zhonghai stayed for a while before going back to find Dr. Yu.

"Okay, come back after 4pm to get the test results."

"Thank you, doctor."

……

In the teahouse, Xu Wude was talking to Lou Zhenhua about what happened in the yard yesterday.

This made Lou Zhenhua fall into deep thought, while Lou Xiaoe listened with great interest.

Xu Damao saw what Lou Xiao'e was thinking, so he used his eloquent tongue and various rhetorical devices to tell the story.

Lou Xiaoe's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she only regretted that she was not a member of the Siheyuan.

It has to be said that Xu Damao is really good at dealing with girls. In the plot, in order to win over Qin Jingru and Yu Haitang, he directly took people to eat copper pot hot pot meat.

In this day and age, this kind of courage is not something that ordinary people can achieve. Qin Jingru can basically be said to have been won over by this meal.

And facing a young lady like Lou Xiao'e, who had no shortage of food and drink, he also told her about things that she would not easily come into contact with in her daily life to pique her interest.

He also talked about his experiences showing movies in the countryside and some interesting stories in the village, which Lou Xiao'e had never or rarely come into contact with.

Lou Xiao'e was very interested in these things and had a very harmonious chat with Xu Damao.

"Lao Xu, so that spy was dealt with in one day?"

Lou Zhenhua asked.

"Yes, sir. From the time the police arrived until Yi Zhonghai and the others were released in the evening, it was less than a day. Director Wang from our subdistrict office said that they will be parading again in two days."

Xu Wude answered respectfully that although he was about to marry Lou Zhenhua, Xu Wude was still very self-aware.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter what Lou Zhenhua is, he is still Lou Bancheng. Even if he is a sick tiger, he is not someone that a sparrow like the Xu family can anger.

At least not now.

Lou Zhenhua took a sip of tea. He always felt that this matter was not so simple. He had often dined with various leaders in the past and had heard them talk about the capture of spies.

After listening to what Xu Wude said and combining it with his experience, it is not difficult to guess that the old deaf man was arrested because someone reported him.

Who was the person who reported it?

Lou Zhenhua was a little confused for a moment, but he was not the kind of person who would dwell on it, so he would just let it go if he couldn't figure it out.

The arrest of the old deaf man was a preemptive measure to eliminate a potential threat. From now on, the courtyard would be closely monitored by the subdistrict office, which would ensure safety.

Chapter 109 The Truth

Time passed quickly, and after lunch, Lou Zhenhua and his team came to the hospital again.

When Xu Damao saw Lou Zhenhua holding the examination report, his heart skipped a beat and he became nervous.

Although he hadn't done anything on his own in the past six months, nor had he sought help from anyone, and the last checkup showed he was cured, he was still a little nervous at this critical moment.

Lou Xiao'e also clenched her fists unconsciously. After today's conversation, she had a good impression of Xu Damao and felt that it would be nice to live with such a person.

But if Xu Damao can't have children, that won't work. No matter from what perspective, Lou Xiao'e will not marry Xu Damao.

So she also hoped that Xu Damao was in good health and had no problems. Her medical report was also in Lou Zhenhua's hands.

Lou Zhenhua took a look and then handed Lou Xiaoe's medical report to her. Lou Xiaoe quickly opened it and saw that everything was normal.

This made them all feel relieved. If Lou Xiao'e was unable to give birth, whether Xu Wude would be willing to this marriage would be another matter.

Lou Zhenhua casually handed the medical report to Xu Wude and said, "Old Xu, no matter what, I can't let Xiao'e get married this year. The situation this year is really not good, and life is not easy. Let's wait until next year."
