Siheyuan: Xu Damao corrects his evil ways

When it comes to the changes in the language of Hong Kong Island, the Township Party has played a large driving force.

In the early days of Hong Kong Island, the upper class there were all bigwigs from major cities.

Mandarin and Shanghainese are the main languages ​​of communication.

After more people came to the south and tycoon-like figures like the HUO family and the Li family and the BAO family emerged, they slowly gained the right to speak. Coupled with the promotion of some white people for various reasons, this gradually evolved into a Cantonese-speaking society.

(Here is a brief introduction to save some readers from thinking it is unreasonable. Interested readers can check it online.)

After Xu Damao sent his parents away, the last problem he had left was how to make everyone ignore the departure of his family.

The most critical one is Lou Bancheng. In fact, to other people, the Xu family is just a vassal of the Lou family, and their presence or absence is unimportant.

Maybe Xia M in Hong Kong will pay attention because of Lou Xiao'e, but Miss Xia M still treats Lou Xiao'e in good faith, after all, it comes in handy!

Therefore, the Xu family's main purpose now is to guard against the Lou family, and guarding against outsiders is now just a matter of course.

For this matter, everyone in Hong Kong is counting on Lou Tan’s township party. But in Sijiucheng, they were still counting on Lou Tan to hide it from the Xu family.

It can be said that in the eyes of outside insiders, such as Xia M and others, Xu Damao has been quite thorough in eating soft rice during this period.

But what those people don't know is that all of Lou Xiao'e's achievements were attributed to Xu Damao. Xu Damao can praise Lou Xiao'e, but because Lou Tan has a ready channel to communicate with Hong Kong Island, it is not because Lou Xiao'e has to do it.

Not only are the two of them husband and wife, they are also close comrades who complement each other. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the Xu family should be characterized by weak men and strong women, but in fact, the Lou Tan mother and daughter basically follow Xu Damao's opinions.

This is not only due to Xu Damao, but also because of Xu Shengli.

For a family, it is the best way to bring family members together and have a common life.

All other friendships, love, and family relationships may change.

Only the continuation of life is something that humans can never abandon.

Lou Tan immediately told Lou Bancheng about the Xu family's resignation. There are naturally some truths and lies in the words. The only problem in this is how to make Lou Bancheng believe that Xu's father would give up the good life in Sijiu City and instead be willing to return to his hometown in a remote rural area.

When Lou Bancheng expressed his doubts, Lou Tan's heartbeat slowed down a beat. She also pretended to be doubtful and said: "Da Mao mentioned it to me, it seems to be related to Lao Xu. Those people You still don’t know, maybe at some point you will offend someone by flattering others and undermining others. It’s just ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi. The person who pulled the big cart back then might have become a leader. So people, it’s better to be like you. Okay, no one will be offended."

Lou Bancheng was praised by the Lou Tan family and ignored the Xu family's affairs, but thought of his own family's affairs. He said with an uneasy expression: "There's no way to explain this. Who doesn't want to be a good person? Just being nice to everyone is something that everyone blames. You have to praise some people and then despise some people, so that those who are praised can be People feel the importance of us praising them. This kind of thing is a helpless thing to survive.

The younger ones in our family used to be arrogant and domineering before liberation. Isn't it okay to not be like that? They were all talented people who were taught, and they were treated as threats and eliminated early on.

This is the way the world is. For example, if a cart puller bows to the guest he is pulling, the guest may not feel it at all and think this is what he should do. But if the cart driver scolds the beggars on the roadside and bows to the guests, the guests in the cart will feel respected.

Are the two related? There is no necessary relationship, but the world is like this. "

Lou Bancheng thought of his lifelong embarrassment because of Lou Tan's words, and couldn't help but say a lot.

In fact, to be honest, people in the workplace are said to be the smartest. What are they so smart about? As long as they can push forward what meets their level, they can do whatever they can. But for a businessman like Lou Bancheng, if he doesn't pay attention, his family will be ruined.

Because everyone looks at them like a piece of fat meat, and everyone wants to take a bite of it, whether they can bite or not.

This is the most terrifying truth in the world.

Lou Tan asked tentatively: "Should we help Lao Xu?"

Lou Bancheng hesitated and said, "Has Damao specified who he is?"

Lou Tan heard this and replied: "I heard it seems that he is from the city."

Lou Bancheng's expression changed when he heard this, and he was silent for a long time, and then he said: "From now on, our family will stay out of this matter, as long as Damao, Xiao'e and the others are not affected."

When Lou Tan heard this, he finally felt relieved. Because she knew that since Lou Bancheng said this, it meant that he had given up on Lou Xiao'e and his wife.

For a big family, this doesn't mean it's untouchable, but it's unnecessary.

Being a good person does not mean trying to help in everything.

The key is that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

If Xu Damao is short of money now, Lou Bancheng might want to help him. What Lou Tan is saying now is that Xu's father once offended someone, and that person is now in the city.

So for Loubancheng, the unpredictability is too high. Who knows where the person the Xu family offended is behind the scenes? Can you afford it?

Calculating the pros and cons, it is best not to mess with it.

Xu Damao thought of many reasons, such as using gossip about his father. Or his sister's rebelliousness. But the difficulty of these things is too low for the Xu Jialou family.

For example, let's say Lao Xu took in a small one and killed someone. So for the Lou family, it's just a matter of spending a few dollars to support a few more people for the Xu family.

The minimum purchase in Sijiucheng is five yuan, and even if Lou Bancheng gives him ten or twenty, he can still afford it.

But it's hard to say who the Xu family has offended. As mentioned before, who knows who the Xu family has offended?

In this way, Lou Bancheng put aside his doubts about the Xu family.

It's probably because the Xu family is not important, so I didn't explore it.

Xu Damao, Lou Xiao'e, and Lou Tan all played their respective roles well.

Those who should be juniors should be juniors, and those who should live a better life should live a better life. If you think too much, you will never be happy.

Lou Bancheng actually never regarded Xu Damao as a family member, and Xu Damao was the same.

Even Lou Xiao'e and Lou Tan would have died if it weren't for the birth of Xu Shengli. Maybe there wouldn't be such a tacit understanding between Xu Damao and mother and daughter.

After all, the gap between the two parties is here. All the Xu family pursues may be a meal for the Lou family.

And what the Lou family wants from the Xu family is just a puppet, a chess piece that will stay there forever wherever it is placed.

As for whether it is captured by other chess pieces or left unmoving, that has nothing to do with the person playing chess.
