Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

After seeing Zhou Xuewen off, Fan Sizhe looked at his watch and saw that he still had five minutes before the end of the workday, so he still had time. Fan Sizhe locked the door of his office, put the key on the door frame, and walked towards Xu Damao's office on the third floor.

Fan Sizhe knocked on the door and pushed it open after hearing someone say "come in". There was no one else in the office, so Fan Sizhe felt more relaxed. At this time, Xu Damao had already packed up his things and was waiting to get off work.

"Hey, Xiao Fan, why are you here at this time? Come, have a cigarette."

"Boss, my childhood friend came to see me just now. He is the one I asked to keep an eye on Qin Huairu. He said that he saw Qin Huairu and Liu Heizi having sex in the abandoned warehouse in the northwest corner at noon, but they did not have sex. What do you think we should do about this matter?"

Xu Damao blew out a smoke ring and said, "Don't alarm her yet, but we still have to keep an eye on her and wait until she gets deeper into trouble before closing the net."

"Yes, Boss. I will tell my childhood friend."

Xu Damao reached out and took out some bills from the drawer and handed them to Fan Sizhe, saying, "We can't let you do the work for free, so please give these bills to him for me as a thank you to him."

Fan Sizhe didn't hesitate and directly reached out to take it, "Okay, then I'll thank the boss on his behalf."

"Well, let's go together. It's time to get off work." The two of them walked out of the office together and headed towards the carport.

After returning to the courtyard, Lou Xiao'e had already prepared today's meal and was telling stories to the children while waiting for Xu Damao to come back.

"Oh, is our young lady free to cook today?" Xu Damao teased.

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at Xu Damao and said, "Well, let Jingru help look after the child for a while. Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

After Xu Damao took off his coat and washed his hands, the family sat around the table and started eating. However, three-year-old Xu Liya was a bit picky about food. Although she was not very good at using chopsticks, she only picked up the dishes she liked and didn't even look at the ones she didn't like.

Xu Damao said, "Xiaoya, children should not be picky about food, otherwise they will not grow tall. When your brothers and sisters grow up, you will still be this tall."

"If I'm not picky about food, will I grow as tall as my brothers and sisters?" Xu Liya asked seriously, blinking her big eyes.

"Yes, maybe even taller than my brothers and sisters."

"Then I won't be picky about food anymore. I want to catch up with my brothers and sisters, otherwise they won't want to play with me anymore."

"Who said we don't like to play with you? It's just that you cry too much." The elder sister on the side couldn't stand it anymore and told the truth directly.

"I just fell and it hurts a bit. I won't cry next time."

"Then we will take you out to play in the future."

"Then let's make a pinky promise!"

"Okay!" A few fingers were hooked together, representing the children's promise.

Lou Xiao'e felt extremely warm and satisfied watching this scene. Her three children were very sensible and knew how to give in and take care of each other.

She knew that she didn't have to leave, Xu Damao would definitely be able to protect her and the children. But the business in Hong Kong and Singapore was getting bigger and bigger, and they needed someone who could make the decision. Xu Damao could only go once every three months, which was really inconvenient.

The domestic situation was about to become chaotic, and the children would not be able to go to school, so Lou Xiao'e had made up her mind to leave this year.

She was hesitant about whether to take all three children with her. If she didn't leave any of them behind, wouldn't that be too cruel to her man? And the matter of Yu Shui, she felt wronged that Yu Shui had been without a name or status for so many years. Forget it, let's eat first and discuss it with Damao in the evening.

After dinner, Xu Damao told the children the story of Journey to the West while lying on the kang. The three little kids listened with great interest. It was not until Lou Xiaoe asked them to take a bath that the children left their father. The weather was hot now, and the three naughty kids were very naughty. They couldn't go a day without taking a bath.

After taking a bath, Lou Xiaoe coaxed the two older children to sleep before leaving the north room. Yes, the two older children had already slept separately from their parents, and now the couple slept with the younger one on the kang in the south room.

Xu Liya was playing with Xu Damao on the kang. The father and daughter were having a great time when they were interrupted by Lou Xiaoe.

"Xiaoya, it's time to go to bed. My brothers and sisters are already asleep."

But the little brat didn't listen to Lou Xiao'e at all and was still busy playing until she was slapped on the little butt by Lou Xiao'e and then she lay down obediently.

"Okay, Xiaoya, let's continue playing tomorrow. It's time to go to bed now." Xu Damao said after touching his baby daughter's forehead.

"Okay, Dad, you must play with Xiaoya tomorrow."

"Dad will. Okay, now close your eyes and go to sleep."

"Good~"

Maybe it was the effect of Lou Xiao'e's clapping of her hands, or maybe Xu Liya was simply too tired from playing during the day, but soon after she lay down, she fell into a deep sleep.

"Da Mao, go to the space. I have something to discuss with you."

"Okay, let's go." Xu Damao looked at his sleeping daughter and nodded.

On the big bed in the space, a couple was talking.

"Da Mao, according to the situation you described, I should leave this year."

"Actually, you don't have to leave. I can protect you and your mother."

"The change in the situation is not something we can resist on our own. What's the point of me staying here? I might as well go to Hong Kong and manage our family business. Not only can the children receive a better education there, but they can also broaden their horizons. Ten years have really been wasted in China," said Lou Xiao'e.

"Besides, you can still visit us often. If you really miss us, let Xu Long, Xu Hu and the others become like you and work for you. You can come to Hong Kong to stay with us for a while." Lou Xiao'e continued to persuade.

Xu Damao couldn't help but slap his forehead. Why didn't he think of asking Xu Long and Xu Hu to look like him and work for him? In this way, wouldn't he be able to travel around the world with his wife and children?

"Wife, how did you come up with this idea? How could I have overlooked this?" Xu Damao said.

"I think about this every day, so I'll naturally consider all aspects. But you can't do this often. They have different personalities from you, so don't let it get away with it."

"Yes, yes, yes. Then I will go over to accompany you during the winter and summer vacations every year."

"You, what are you and Yu Shui going to do after I'm gone? After all, Yu Shui has been following you for several years without any status, you can't hurt her feelings."

"I will bring her to Hong Kong as well, and then get married there. After all, they allow you to have multiple wives there."

"You can still let her stay in Hong Kong for ten years. Even if you and Yushui get married there, it won't be recognized in the household registration book in China. Will you and Yushui still want to have a child by then? How can she hold her head up in China if Yushui gets pregnant before marriage?"

"So what do you mean?" Xu Damao actually already knew Lou Xiao'e's plan, but he just didn't want to say it out loud, as that would be too hurtful to Ezi.

"I have called Yu Shui in advance and asked her to come back this weekend. Let's go back to my mother-in-law's house together to clarify things, so that she won't blame me for taking the children away. Your relationship with Yu Shui should also be made clear. After I leave, I will let my mother-in-law choose a time to arrange your wedding." Lou Xiao'e arranged.
