Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

As soon as Xu Damao returned to the compound after get off work, he was stopped by Yan Bugui.

"Da Mao, I have news to tell you. Sha Zhu has woken up!" Yan Bugui said with regret.

"Oh, who brought back the news?"

"Yu Shui said it herself when she came back from the hospital this afternoon."

"Hey, our compound is going to be lively again. Okay, Second Uncle, you go ahead and do your work. I'm really hungry after a whole day's work." Xu Damao said.

"Then go and eat first. Thank you for helping Jie Cheng with all his running errands. As soon as Jie Cheng came back from the factory, he couldn't wait to put on his work clothes and go to his father-in-law's house. I'll ask Jiefang to send you some of my dried fish later." It was rare for Yan Bugui to take the initiative to give something.

"Okay, that's it for now. I'm going home first."

Xu family in the backyard.

Xu Damao heated up some leftovers and steamed buns, opened a bottle of Xifeng, and drank it leisurely. While drinking, he was thinking about Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu.

Since Sha Zhu has woken up, Yi Zhonghai should take action soon. However, Yi Zhonghai is in a dilemma. If he sides with one, he will inevitably offend the other. After all, this is not a small fight but a life-and-death feud. But he will definitely side with Jia Dongxu in the end, not for anything else, but because Jia Zhang has a fatal handle on him!

In this case, can I make use of these conditions to make a plan? If we want to reconcile, let Yu Shui ask for more compensation, and then Jia Zhang will definitely not pay for it, so it can only be paid by Yi Zhonghai. If the Jia family borrows so much money, if I ask Jia Dongxu to recognize Yi Zhonghai as his godfather... then Jia Dongxu will soon be offline...

As Xu Damao was thinking about it, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. As he was laughing, there was a knock on the door.

"Brother Damao, I'm Jiefang. My dad asked me to bring you some dried fish."

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Yan Jiefang came in carrying a lot of dried fish. He looked at the food on the table and couldn't help licking his lips. "Hey, is Brother Damao eating?"

"Come on, look at you. Go call Guangtian over, and let's have a drink together. I've got something to tell you." Xu Damao felt a little bored drinking alone, and when he saw Yan Jiefang, he remembered the good-for-nothing duo he and Liu Guangtian formed.

"Okay, right away." Yan Jiefang ran out of Xu Damao's house and quickly came back with Liu Guangtian, who was still confused. Since they were close in age, they had a good relationship.

"Brother, what do you want from us? Jiefang just ran away without saying anything." Liu Guangtian asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's no big deal. You two are going to join the army soon. I may have to go to work and won't have time to see you off. So today can be considered as a farewell party for you two in advance. You two sit for a while, and I'll go cut two plates of cooked food to go with the wine." Xu Damao said.

Xu Damao went to the kitchen and busy himself, and soon came back with a plate of pig head and a plate of pig offal.

"Brother, there is so much meat, are we really eating it?" Liu Guangtian asked innocently. He had never eaten so much meat in his life. Yan Jiefang, who was standing by, was also staring at the table full of dishes and drooling. Not to mention the old Yan family.

"I've served it all to you. Why don't I give it to you and eat it myself? Hurry up and pour the wine, let's start drinking!" Xu Damao said.

"Hey, okay brother."

The two of them filled up their glasses, and the three of them drank while chatting. This was the first time someone had specially invited them to drink, and they felt like they were being treated as adults and respected.

"You two were not taken seriously at home before. I specifically suggested sending you to join the army to train for a few years. After you come back, just follow me. I will guarantee a good future for you two." Xu Damao's words touched the hearts of the two.

Liu Guangtian, needless to say, was the only biological child of the Liu family, and all the good things belonged to Liu Haizhong and his elder brother. Before, he and his younger brother Guangfu had always lived under the shadow of Liu Haizhong, and it was difficult for them to even eat a bite of scrambled eggs. Liu Haizhong would even beat them with a belt if he was not satisfied, so how could they have any status?

Yan Jiefang had never been abused at home. In terms of material things, the Yan family advocated egalitarianism, but emotionally, there was a difference.

The eldest brother is the eldest son and will provide for his parents in the future, so his status is naturally more important; the third brother is the youngest son and is also loved a lot; Yan Jiedi, as the only girl, is also very favored. Only he, the second son, is neither here nor there and is dispensable, and his status is very awkward.

Seeing that they both looked a little depressed, Xu Damao persuaded them, "Even ten fingers are different in length. Since we don't have the support of our parents, we must work hard to live a decent life for them. When you get to the army, you two should learn how to fight well, and it would be best if you could also learn how to drive. I will be very useful to you when you return from military service in the future!"

"Got it, Brother Damao. We will follow your arrangements in everything." The two brothers answered in unison.

"Come on, let's continue drinking."

Soon the three of them finished a bottle of Xifeng. Xu Damao got up and went to the kitchen to get some wine, then went to the inner room and took out two small boxes.

"This is a gift I give to you two for joining the army. Open it and see if you like it?" Xu Damao said as he handed the box to the two.

The two took the box without hesitation and opened it. Their eyes widened when they looked at the things inside.

"Brother...this...is this for...for both of us? Isn't this illegal?" Liu Guangtian asked in a trembling voice. He saw a pistol lying quietly in the box.

"It's not quite legal, but it's not that serious. There are many people who collect guns privately. And don't forget that you are going to be soldiers. Do soldiers fear guns? I'm giving you these two pistols, one each, for self-defense. Each gun is equipped with ten bullets, which can be used to save your life at critical moments. Don't use them carelessly." Xu Damao warned with some concern.

"Brother, we remember this."

"Brother, you are so good to us. I will definitely listen to you in the future."

"Okay, this box is double-layered, and there's more inside. The white bottle is for strengthening your body, with a total of twelve pills. Just take one pill a month. The blue bottle is for stopping bleeding and treating bruises and injuries, and you will definitely need them when you go to the army. Your family will definitely prepare money and tickets for you, and you don't have to worry about living in the army, so I won't prepare anything else for you." Xu Damao said.

"Brother, you will be our real brother from now on." Liu Guangtian said.

"Don't say anything, brother. These are all good things to save your life. I need no thanks for your kindness. From now on, I will fight wherever you point my finger at me. Even if I have to go through fire and water, I won't frown." Yan Jiefang heard and learned this from somewhere, but he spoke very well.

"Me too!"

……

Xu Damao's forehead was full of black lines. Why did this plot seem so familiar? He didn't know if it was right to entrust these two fools with such an important task. But after all, it was he who suggested that these two go to the army, so he should give them some self-defense items, in case something unexpected really happened.

"Okay, man, stop being so nagging and come drink."

The three of them drank until after ten o'clock, when Xu Damao sent the two drunken men home. After returning to the house, Xu Damao washed up first and planned to get into the bed that had been spread out in advance. But as soon as he got into the bed, he found something wrong. There was someone in the bed! And it was a woman!
