Siheyuan: Xu Damao corrects his evil ways

It's eight o'clock in the evening. At this time, everyone is usually at home holding their wives and doing errands.

But Xu Damao rode his bicycle and found Lao Xu.

The knock on the door shocked Comrade Xu, who had been holding back for many days and prepared to hand over the public food, to the point of weakness.

So when Xu's mother opened the door, even if she saw Xu Damao, the look on her face would not be too good.

Xu's mother said angrily: "Da Mao, what are you doing here at this hour? Where is the child?"

Xu Damao had something on his mind and couldn't care less about my mother's bad look. He replied directly: "The child is at home, where is my father? I have something to discuss with you."

Comrade Lao Xu was happy. Only people of his age could understand the feeling of not having to empty his body.

The key is that the person is not in the right person. It depends on the little widow elsewhere. If Lao Xu is interrupted, he will probably stab someone with a knife.

Of course, my son will definitely not be able to chop, but he can still slap him with a few slaps.

How could it be like this now, with a smile that couldn't be hidden at the corner of his mouth, just saying thank you to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao looked at Comrade Xu, who was sitting in the main room with his clothes on, drinking wolfberry from a big teapot, and then he understood where his mother's anger came from.

The corners of Xu Damao's mouth twitched up unconsciously, and it was not easy for him to make fun of me. Anyway, both father and son were smiling, but the meanings in their smiles were different.

"Pa", Comrade Lao Xu didn't slap Xu Damao, but Xu Damao still got a slap, damn it.

When Xu's mother saw Comrade Xu's arrogance, she still couldn't hold back and slapped her son.

Xu's mother didn't hold back at all. After being slapped, she scolded: "You kid, why are you standing here?"

Xu Damao rubbed his head and sat at the table. He winked at Comrade Xu for a while until Xu's mother also got dressed and sat at the table. Xu Damao coughed dryly and explained his purpose.

The look on Xu Damao's face became serious, and he whispered to his parents: "Mom, Dad, is the little sister asleep?"

Xu's mother nodded. Seeing Xu Damao's seriousness, the couple also became serious.

Xu Damao then said: "Dad, I want you to resign early and take your family to Hong Kong Island. I asked Xiao'e to buy some properties there, and you guys have to go there and look after me."

Xu's mother exclaimed: "So far?"

Xu's father explained for his son: "Can we keep it if it's not far away? It turns out that the bosses in Sijiucheng, including Xiao'e's father, are all moving into the food delivery industry, so they probably feel something is wrong."

Xu Damao didn't expect that his father would have such knowledge, so he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Dad, I didn't think that much. It was Xiao'e's father who assigned the Lou family to Hong Kong Island, so I tried to ask Xiao'e to beg. Her mother also asked her to buy a small property there for us. What’s the meaning in this? "

"I can't see clearly. Anyway, I feel that those bosses who have money in their hands but do nothing are in a very dangerous situation." Comrade Lao Xu said concisely and comprehensively, but he went straight to the core of the problem.

Xu's mother's eyes shone and she asked curiously: "Da Mao, how big of a property have you and Xiao'e purchased?"

"A building with dozens of houses on the seventh or eighth floor. Xiao'e's mother bought it for hundreds of thousands, and also brought a few front houses where she could open a shop. The rent collected every month is a thousand dollars." Xu Damao said. He said that in this regard, Xu Damao told some truths and some lies.

The truth is of course that there is a building, but the lie is that most of the house was paid for Lou Xiao'e's manuscripts, publishing fees and so on.

The private money in Lou Tan's hands is only tens of thousands of yuan. This is the asset she only has after selling the property her parents left her, plus the private money given to Lou Tan by Lou Bancheng. As for the old gadgets in her hands, Lou Xiao'e once told Xu Damao that she wanted to sell them, but Xu Damao stopped them and asked Lou Xiao'e to keep them for her daughter-in-law.

The rest is missing from the loan for the copyright of Lou Xiao'e's books. Nowadays, the cultural industry on Hong Kong Island is relatively prosperous. Wanwan and Chinese-speaking areas in Southeast Asia often come to Hong Kong Island to buy copyright printing.

Although one book is not much, it adds up to two or three hundred thousand.

This amount of money may be nothing in future generations, but in this day and age, for a family like the Xu family, it is money that they will never be able to save in a lifetime.

For example, Xu Damao and Lao Xu are the main money-makers. Their salary plus extra money is only 1,670 yuan, which is less than 2,000 yuan a year, and it takes a hundred years to go without food or water.

Even Comrade Xu, who was accustomed to the big world, couldn't help but gulped when he heard that Xu Damao had earned such a huge fortune quietly, and his hand holding the teapot couldn't help but tremble a little. With a little vibrato, he said, "Where did your mother-in-law get so much money?"

Xu Damao started telling lies, and he said: "Dad, you still don't know where Xiao'e's mother is? The Tan family turns out to be a wealthy family. Although they were in trouble after arriving in Sijiu City, they also left a lot of good things behind. . My mother-in-law is Xiao'e, and now that she has Shengli, who else can she give it to if she doesn't give it to us? Those old things are rare on Hong Kong Island and can be sold for big prices. These things will be yours from now on. It’s my grandson’s. If you two don’t go over and guard Shengli, who can you rest assured?”

Hearing this, Xu's mother asked worriedly: "Da Mao, what about you?"

When Comrade Lao Xu heard this, he couldn't help but turn his eyes to Xu Damao, full of concern.

So it’s easier to talk to smart people.

Xu's father and Xu's mother both knew that the Lou family married their daughter to Xu Damao just to show off to their superiors. So they can leave, but Xu Damao's family can't leave for the time being.

Xu Damao smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about me, Xiao'e's mother has prepared a way out for us. If things go wrong, our family can just leave without taking anything. It just so happens that you can retire and go back to your hometown for the elderly. I I can rest assured.”

The three members of the Xu family discussed it again and decided on Comrade Xu's early retirement.

Xu Damao didn't know that his ancestral home was Ji until this time.

Originally, Lao Xu asked Xu Damao to marry Lou Xiao'e for the sake of the Lou family's property. Now he heard that his son had made a lot of money from the Lou family. Although he was on Hong Kong Island and too far away from the Four-Nine Cities, Comrade Xu had no choice but to grit his teeth and take his wife and daughter directly across the ocean.

As for the cover-up at the beginning and end of the Forty-Nine City, Lou Tan's family was naturally there to help clean it up.

These days, it's not easy to cover up your whereabouts.

You have to collect your monthly ration, right? You have to get your retirement salary, right? You said you retired and returned to your hometown, but you didn't want anything. So if you let the local people investigate and find out that this person was not found, it would be easy for something to go wrong.

At first, Xu Damao thought about collecting it on his behalf, so he fooled others by saying that he would send it to his parents every month.

This matter, if no one pays attention to it, it will be nothing. But now the Lou family, including Xu Damao and his wife, don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching.

If anyone does a little research, it will be a disaster.
