Lianliankan

Chapter 428 Goodbye Lou Xiao’e

Although Qin Huairu repeatedly promised that he would soon find a way to get the stick into the factory, the boy's left ear went in and the right ear went out. At dawn the next day, he touched Xu Damao's house and licked him.

Although Banggeng's behavior is essentially hypocritical and submissive, it also reflects two characteristics of his character, which are his inability to distinguish between right and wrong and bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

It was clear that Xu Damao was his enemy, and he had bullied him over and over again, but for the sake of a small profit, BangGeng was willing to ignore his past grudges and collude with him.

On the contrary, he was extremely hostile to Silly Zhu, who was a great benefactor to his family, and allowed him to please him in every possible way, but he still showed no pretense.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the reason why Banggeng adopts two attitudes towards the two of them is simply that he has a clear conscience. With his wife here, Silly Zhu will always only please him.

Since that's the case, what does it matter whether he gives this person a good look or not?

As for why he needs to draw a clear line with Shazhu, these words are pure fart. If Banggeng is really as tough as he says, then why does he openly live in Shazhu's house? Isn't this a slap in the face!

There is a saying in later generations that a person who licks a dog will not die a good death. This is a perfect description of Silly Pillar. To some extent, Silly Pillar is even worse than a licking dog.

Because licking the dog may only add one person, but this is not the case with Silly Zhu. He will not let go of anyone who has anything to do with Qin Huairu.

In the original drama, even someone like Jia Zhang was willing to call her mom, but he didn't know how his biological mother would feel if she knew she was alive.

Let's get back to the topic. When Xu Damao saw Banggian coming to him, he felt proud and asked with a smile: "Why are you here so early? Why don't you get some more sleep?"

Banggeng replied: "I can't sleep, so I might as well come over and see if there is anything you need my help with."

"Don't tell me, there really is one."

Xu Damao didn't know what politeness was, so he took out two dollars from under the pillow and raised his eyebrows.

"Go buy me some steamed buns, and bring a bowl of bean juice by the way. If you haven't eaten yet, buy one for you. If you don't have enough money, I'll come back and replenish it for you."

"That's enough, that's enough. Just wait. I'll be right back."

Watching Bangge leave, Xu Damao had a sarcastic look on his face and murmured to himself: "Shazhu, Qin Huairu, I hope you will like this surprise!"

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Xu Damao, who had eaten and drank enough, took the stick with him and walked out from home. While walking towards the front yard, he did not forget to say something to the stick:

"Let me tell you, even though the movie theater is a boring job, the work is not tiring, and you don't have to get up so early. You just have to get there before ten o'clock every day.

The most important thing is that not only can I watch free movies, but I can also occasionally take others to watch them. You know what I mean? "

Bangge listened with fascination on his face, and he could not help but fantasize about taking his partner to the movies.

"Uncle Damao, after talking so much, you haven't told me yet, when will you let me be your apprentice?"

"can not wait anymore?"

"Well, to be honest, I can't stay at home for another day."

"Listening to your words, could it be that someone gave you a bad look? Could it be Silly Zhu?"

Banggeng said disdainfully: "Tch, why don't you give him the courage to embarrass me? It's because I'm bored and want to think of something to do as soon as possible."

"Okay, you've said so. It's better to choose the day than to hit it. Today you come with me and get familiar with the projector first. When you are almost done with it, I will mention this to the leader."

"Oh, is it true? Uncle Damao, you are so kind. Don't worry, I will never forget your great kindness!"

"Hey, you're welcome, aren't you? Who of the two of us is following the other! Besides, Silly Zhu and I are different. He only knows how to talk, but he won't be able to stand up at the critical moment..."

Just when Xu Damao was slandering Silly Zhu, the two of them had already arrived at the gate and were about to go down the steps when they saw a black car driving in the distance and seemed to be heading towards the courtyard.

Banggeng said in surprise: "Hey, how come there is a car coming to our place?"

Xu Damao seemed to have thought of something, and muttered with a rather ugly face: "Why are you showing off? I just became a deputy factory director. Bah!"

When Banggeng heard this, he immediately understood who Xu Damao was talking about. Out of fear of Zhao Ye, he quickly suggested: "Should we hide?"

Xu Damao said: "Why should we hide? This is not a steel rolling mill. Are we afraid that he will eat us?"

Before Banggeng could say anything else, the car parked directly in front of the door. Then the driver's door opened and Zhao Ye poked his head out.

After he got out of the car, he just casually glanced at the two people on the steps, then walked to the back seat of the car and invited a graceful and luxurious woman out of the car.

At first, Xu Damao thought the woman was Ding Qiunan, but when he turned around, his expression suddenly changed and he couldn't help but scream: "You, you are Lou Xiao'e!"

This woman was indeed Lou Xiao'e. After she met Zhao Ye, she talked about their farewell, and she inevitably mentioned the time she lived in the courtyard.

Zhao Ye saw her full of emotion and simply offered to accompany her to visit her old place again.

Lou Xiao'e thought for a moment and agreed, so they drove straight to the courtyard without even eating the feast.

What Lou Xiao'e didn't expect was that as soon as she got off the bus, the first old friend she met would be Xu Damao. This really fulfilled the saying, enemies don't always get together.

Fortunately, Lou Xiao'e was no longer what she used to be, and she was not a grudge-bearing person, so she was just stunned for a moment before taking the lead to say hello to Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao, we haven't seen you for so long, you've changed a lot!"

Looking at his ex-wife who was full of jewels and elegant temperament, Xu Damao felt a sense of shame in his heart, but in order not to lose face, he still pretended to be calm and replied:

"Yeah, long time no see."

After saying that, without knowing what he was thinking, he said in a strange way: "Compared to before, you haven't changed much, you are still so young and beautiful."

"Ha ha……"

Lou Xiao'e almost bent over with laughter when she heard this. She turned and shouted to Zhao Ye who was getting something from the trunk: "Hey, Zhao Ye, did you hear that? Xu Damao praised me!"

Zhao Ye pretended to be puzzled and asked: "So what, I praised you too, why can't I see you so happy?"

"You don't know, Xu Damao only praised me before getting married."

Zhao Ye sighed in a serious tone: "So, the sun really comes out in the west!"

If this were an ordinary person, he would probably have fled long ago in the face of the teasing from his ex-wife and his enemies, but Xu Damao is obviously not an ordinary person.

After the initial panic, he had already regained his composure. Especially after discovering that Lou Xiao'e had a good attitude towards him, he had a vague idea in his mind.

"Looking at the way this girl is dressed, she must be well-off. Maybe we can think of a way to get some benefits from her!"

With this thought, Xu Damao's tone became more enthusiastic.

"After all these years, Ezi, you are still so joking."

It's a pity that Xu Damao's plan is doomed to fail, because for Lou Xiao'e, who has seen the colorful world, people like Xu Damao are too ordinary and common, and they are not qualified to be taken seriously by her.

"Okay, I don't have time to grind my teeth with you, go ahead and do what you want, don't hang around in front of my eyes, I'll be annoyed by it!"

As she said that, she turned her attention to Banggeng and asked in surprise: "You can't be Banggeng, right?" Although Banggeng had a mediocre impression of Lou Xiao'e, he couldn't be cold-faced, so he replied honestly: "Lou Hello, auntie, I’m a stickler.”

"Oh, it's really you. You've grown so big. How are your mother and the others?"

"For your concern, they are all very good."

"That's good."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, turned around, took out a rectangular box from the bag Zhao Ye was carrying, and stuffed it into Banggeng.

"This is the belt that aunt brought back from Hong Kong. Think of it as a meeting gift for you."

Why don't you say that if you have breasts, you are a mother? When this boy heard that there was a gift, and it was from Hong Kong, he immediately accepted it and expressed his sincere thanks.

Xu Damao on the side looked hot and couldn't help but stepped forward to ask for it: "That... Ezi, do you have mine?"

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes and said mockingly: "Xu Damao, you are still as thick-skinned as ever!"

That's what she said, but she was not a stingy person after all, so she took out another box and smashed it into Xu Damao's arms.

"Zhao Ye, let's go in. I have to take a good look at the changes in this courtyard."

"Then you will be disappointed. What it was like when you left is what it is like now."

"Are you such a spoiler?"

"No way, I'm born to tell the truth, I can't change it!"

"..."

Behind them, Xu Damao looked at Lou Xiao'e's back and stood there blankly, unwilling to leave for a long time until Banggeng pushed him.

"Uncle Damao, are you still going to work?"

"Go, of course."

Xu Damao promised happily, but in fact his soul had already flown away. At this moment, his mind was filled with one question: Has Lou Xiao'e remarried after so many years? If not, wouldn't he have an opportunity to take advantage of?

Needless to say, Xu Damao was ugly, but he thought he was beautiful. But what he didn't know was that as soon as he was out of sight, Zhao Ye teased Lou Xiao'e.

"Sister Ezi, you are still as charming as before. Do you think you charmed Xu Damao?"

Lou Xiao'e raised her hand and gave Zhao Ye an elbow, laughing and scolding: "A dog can't spit out ivory. Do you think I can't see Xu Damao's little ninety-nine points?"

Zhao Ye said in surprise: "Tsk tsk, it's really been three days since we've seen each other. I should look at you with admiration. You've made a lot of progress in the past few years!"

"You mean, I was stupid before?"

"I don't call you stupid, just a little naive. If you don't like to hear something, I would be a little worried if you were the same person as before. I'm afraid that you would be deceived by Xu Damao's sweet words again."

"Fuck you, how naive am I?"

"You are not naive, and you don't know who was deceived back then. You really felt that you couldn't have a child, and you drank those random folk remedies all day long."

These words seemed to evoke Lou Xiao'e's distant thoughts, causing her to stop in her tracks.

Seeing this, Zhao Ye thought he was being serious and quickly changed the subject: "Come on, instead of dwelling on the past, it's better to focus more on the present."

At this point, he paused and deliberately put on an angry tone and said: "I got very angry when I mentioned this. You said you finally came back, but you didn't know how to bring your wife and a pair of children with you. , are you ashamed of yourself?"

Lou Xiao'e was indeed led astray, and she hurriedly explained: "I came back this time mainly to inspect the domestic investment environment, and to give my parents a front-row seat. I will definitely bring them to see you next time. "

"Then I take it seriously. If you come back alone next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"I know, long-winded."

While the two were chatting and joking, they had attracted the attention of many people in the courtyard, among whom Yan Bugui was the most familiar.

"Hey, Zhao Ye is back, but I haven't seen you for a while?"

Before Zhao Ye agreed, Lou Xiao'e had already jumped in front of him and said, "Hello, third uncle, do you still recognize who I am?"

"Hey, you...are you Lou Xiao'e? Oh, my God, come and see, Lou Xiao'e is back!"

Following Yan Bugui's exclamation, the old neighbors in the front and back yards all came out to see the strange thing.

Suddenly, Lou Xiao'e was surrounded by people, and all the seven aunts and eight aunts all talked to her in unison.

Lou Xiao'e couldn't cope and had to ask Zhao Ye for help.

Zhao Ye watched the excitement for a while, and when Lou Xiao'e couldn't resist anymore, he stood up, clapped his hands, and shouted:

"Everyone, listen to me. Sister Ezi came back from Hong Kong this time and took the time to visit you all. For this reason, she also prepared gifts for everyone! Now, everyone is queuing up to get it from me."

When they heard that there were gifts available, everyone's enthusiasm increased even more, and they swarmed towards Zhao Ye again, fearing that they would be late and not get their share.

Seeing the commotion, Zhao Ye hurriedly spoke to maintain order: "Don't crowd, everyone has a share of the gift, and I guarantee that everyone can get it... What about you, Jia Zhang said, if you squeeze Shengli's mother again, get out of here as soon as possible!" "

Jia Zhang, who was set up as a typical example, was not happy and retorted loudly: "The things belong to Lou Xiao'e, why do you make the decision for her?"

"Just because she is my sister, okay? Also, if you talk back again, believe it or not, I want you to look good!"

Jia Zhang was really into this kind of thing. As soon as Zhao Ye frightened her, she immediately lined up in line amidst the roar of laughter from everyone.

Lou Xiao'e, who walked behind Zhao Ye at some point, couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering when she saw this scene.

"Awesome, you are the only one in this courtyard who can cure Jia Zhang."

Zhao Ye replied smoothly: "You also missed someone, the deaf old lady."

As soon as the words came out, he suddenly felt that he had lost his words. He quickly looked at Lou Xiao'e's face and saw that she showed a sad expression as expected. He said rather remorsefully:

"It's all my fault. If I could have come back two years earlier, I would have seen her for the last time."

Zhao Ye comforted her: "It is said that seventy is rare in ancient times. The old lady is almost ninety. This life is enough. You should be more open-minded."

"Well, I understand the truth. I just feel empty since I didn't see her when I came back."

"That's better than this. I'll take you to burn incense on her grave in the afternoon."

"Alright."
