Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"Da Mao, this blue porcelain bottle will be kept with you for the time being. You must ask your knowledgeable friend to help estimate the price in the next two days. After all, my friend is also very anxious. By the way, there are also these leftover bones, you can think of how to deal with them..."

As Yan Bugui spoke, he pointed to the pile of meat bones in the bowl that neither of them had finished eating.

Xu Damao shook his head, pretending to be drunk, and responded: "Teacher Yan, you can take those bones away. I have to leave early tomorrow morning and I really don't have time to pack these things. But, Teacher Yan, you have to do me a small favor later. After all, you are the manager of our hospital now."

Yan Bugui was so happy when he heard this. He had just drunk some wine and could take the remaining meat and bones home. He patted his chest and promised solemnly: "Da Mao, if you have any questions, just ask! There is really nothing in this yard that I can't handle!"

You know, the meat and bones in the basin weigh at least four or five pounds, and there is still half a pot of fragrant broth left in the pot. This rich aroma seems to be able to drift through the text. Imagine if you use this broth to soak steamed bread or a bowl of noodles, the taste is simply amazing! Thinking of this, Yan Bugui was so happy in his heart, he would not lack meat for the next few days, hehe.

"When I delivered the meat just now, Aunt Yang said that she had gone to the chicken coop to collect eggs two or three times at night and found that several eggs were missing. She also encountered people stealing eggs at night, but they were all from the same compound and she didn't step forward to stop them."

Hearing this, Yan Bugui frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure. He thought to himself: This is really a troublesome matter. Although everyone lives in the same yard, this kind of petty theft is really despicable. However, it is not easy to find the person who stole the eggs, after all, this matter will definitely offend people.

Xu Damao seemed to have seen through Yan Bugui's thoughts. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and then deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Teacher Yan, why don't you guess who stole the eggs?"

Yan Bugui raised his head and glanced at Xu Damao, feeling a little unhappy. He understood that Xu Damao was deliberately making things difficult for him, wanting to see how he would handle this thorny issue. However, Yan Bugui did not want to be fooled easily, so he decided to remain cautious.

"Hehe, although there are only a few families in our courtyard, there are many people. It's hard to say." Yan Bugui frowned and said with a hint of helplessness in his tone. He knew that in this situation, random speculation would only cause more disputes and conflicts. After all, everyone could be suspected, and such suspicion could hurt innocent people.

Yan Bugui thought that it was better to have less trouble than more. He would rather not get involved in this mess than get into unnecessary trouble because of a momentary impulse.

"Well, Mr. Yan, please go back. I will ask the second uncle to come over and ask him to seek justice for me! The matter of the eggs is small, but this concerns my reputation! If I just swallow my anger and remain silent when being bullied, how will the people in our courtyard look at me? How can I survive in this courtyard in the future?"

Xu Damao's face was extremely gloomy and his tone of voice was rude. He waved his hand impatiently to signal Yan Bugui to leave.

Yan Bugui saw Xu Damao's expression change instantly, and couldn't help cursing in his heart: "This guy is really a difficult one."

"Da Mao, don't worry, I have to take care of this matter. After all, I am a teacher, and I have some say in our compound!"

In order to get some meat bones, Yan Buguiqiang put on a pleasant look, chuckled twice, and then quickly changed his words.

"Haha, then I'll have to trouble Teacher Yan. Oh, by the way, we haven't finished eating this meat yet, Teacher Yan, take it back and let Jie Cheng and the others taste it, and also help me promote my cooking skills! It's not much worse than Sha Zhu's, hehe!"

Xu Damao pointed to the leftover meat and bones in the basin on the table, a sly smile appeared on his face, and he also said with a smile: "Teacher Yan, please don't despise these leftover meat and bones."

Yan Bugui sneered in his heart, but still pretended to be grateful, picked up the dough bowl, and carefully poured the meat and bones into the soup pot. He held the handle of the soup pot tightly, as if he was holding a rare treasure in his hand. Then, he walked briskly towards his home.

"Da Mao, I'll take your pot back and use it first. I'll clean it for you later and then return it to you." Yan Bugui turned around and shouted to Xu Damao.

"Okay, Teacher Yan, take care." Xu Damao waved his hand in response.

Yan Bugui thought to himself: "Hehe, I'm not afraid of offending people. It would be a big loss if I can't eat these delicious meat bones! Who can blame me, Yan, for being smart?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Ten minutes later, Yan Bugui came back with a pot in his hand. Xu Damao took the pot and put it away, and the two began to chat. They talked about all sorts of trivial and messy things in the yard.

"Teacher Yan, in my opinion, it would be better for Jie Cheng to take the entrance exam for a technical secondary school. Just think about it, after he graduates from the technical secondary school, the state will directly arrange a job for him. How great is that! If you don't let him go to school, how much money can he make by doing odd jobs now?" Xu Damao chatted casually with Yan Bugui.

"Da Mao, you are right. Actually, I have thought about sending Jie Cheng to a technical secondary school before, but my family just can't afford so much money to support his studies."

"So it seems that Teacher Yan has changed his mind now?"

I recently helped a friend with some stuff and made a little money. And from a long-term perspective, it is more promising to go to a technical secondary school. After all, Jie Cheng is still young, and it is not appropriate to let him go out to work so early. "

"Teacher Yan, I hope you can figure it out."

Yes, in this era of extreme material scarcity, who doesn’t want their children to live a better life? Unfortunately, the country is in a period of reconstruction, and most people are helpless. Even filling their stomachs has become a problem. How can they think about other things?

"There seems to be some noise outside! Could it be that the little thief who specializes in stealing eggs has come back again? Teacher Yan, please come with me to see who it is! We must move quietly and make sure not to scare the thief away."
