Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

There was no conversation that night. Xu Damao rode his bike out of the compound early in the morning and came to the alley where he and Xu Long had agreed to meet. Xu Long had been waiting here for a long time. He had a hat on his head and a thin scarf around his neck, wrapping himself tightly.

Xu Damao nodded and handed the bicycle to Xu Long. "Xiaolong, I'll leave this to you. I'll leave first."

"Brother, don't worry, this is not the first or second time."

Xu Damao nodded and went directly into the space, but he had to wait a little longer until Lou Xiaoe and the others got on the boat before teleporting. Now his two coordinates were on Yu Shui's bracelet and Lou Xiaoe's bracelet. Well, these two bracelets were given by Xu's mother.

Outside, Xu Long took off his hat and scarf and put his things into the briefcase on the handlebars. He rode his bike to work naturally. Along the way, Xu Long greeted people he knew from time to time.

Xu Damao lay down on the sofa in the space and turned on the TV but didn't watch it. He just listened to the noise and thought about things.

It will be 1966 soon. The wind will probably start to blow in May or June next year. In fact, there are already some signs in society. Some well-informed people have already started to flee abroad. I don't want to participate in politics, so is it necessary for me to stay in the country and delay ten years of development?

Although I can teleport there once every three months, it is still too inconvenient and I am always late in handling various matters. Now that my wife and children have also gone there, should I also go there when the wind blows and the rain falls?

Xu Damao thought for more than half an hour but still couldn't make up his mind, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He thought that things would work out when the time came, so he picked up a pen and paper and continued writing his novel.

Time soon came to evening, Xu Damao calculated the distance and found that Lou Xiao'e had already boarded the ship with the children. He immediately activated the teleportation skill and appeared directly in the room where Lou Xiao'e was.

The three children were lying on the bed and sleeping. They were very excited when they got on the boat in the morning. They touched and looked here and there, and watched others catch fish with nets and fish. After lunch, they were so tired that they fell asleep.

"Da Mao? How come you came so soon? You scared me." When Lou Xiao'e heard the noise, she turned around and saw her man. She couldn't help but hit him lightly.

"Are you used to being on the boat? Did you vomit?"

"It's OK. I've been on a boat before and I don't get seasick."

"Have you seen your uncle?"

"We chatted for about ten minutes when we first got on the boat, and then my second uncle was busy directing everyone to load cargo and leave the port." Lou Xiao'e said with a smile, and it was obvious that she was very happy to see her relatives whom she had not seen for many years.

"Okay, you're pregnant, so you should take a rest. I'll take care of the kids."

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the three children woke up and saw their father, which made them very happy. They pestered Xu Damao to take them fishing.

Xu Damao naturally would not refuse the children's reasonable request. He took out the fishing set given by the system from a box under the bed, and went out with the children.

Xu Damao said hello to Lou Xinhua and found a spot to fish while enjoying the sea breeze. Lou Xinhua was not surprised by the arrival of his nephew-in-law, because he had heard from his brother about some of Xu Damao's magical skills. Perhaps this was the legendary disguise technique or something like that?

The three children were jumping around him. Listening to the laughter coming from time to time, Xu Damao felt extremely satisfied.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e also walked out of the cabin and lay on a recliner nearby, looking at the child while talking to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao suddenly realized that he didn't want to be the deputy factory director or any other job anymore! I'm not a native of Beijing, so I don't have the attachment to my hometown. Besides, Hong Kong will return to the motherland sooner or later, so I can't be considered a traitor. Maybe I can even help Hong Kong return earlier!

Having made up his mind to go to Hong Kong, Xu Damao felt relaxed all over, as if all his troubles had left him, and he became somewhat detached.

Lou Xiao'e, who was standing by, seemed to have sensed Xu Damao's change and turned to look over.

"Da Mao, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I'm fine!"

"It feels like you've changed all of a sudden, but I can't tell exactly where you've changed."

"If you can't say it, then don't say it. Haven't I always been by your side?"

"Oh, there's a fish taking the bait, hurry up!"

After some operation, Xu Damao caught a sea fish weighing more than ten kilograms. The three children happily clapped their hands around the fish.

"Come on, Dad will go to the kitchen to cook dinner for you. We will eat it tonight." Xu Damao said with a smile.

"Okay, I want to eat boiled fish!"

"No, braised fish is delicious!"

"Fish, I want to eat fish!"

Xu Damao laughed, "Don't argue, a fish this big is enough to make many dishes, today I will show you my skills and make you a whole fish feast!"

"it is good!"

"Dad is the best!"

After a lot of hard work, Xu Damao finally prepared the whole fish banquet. The sea fish was not wasted and almost the entire body was served on the table.

Xu Damao specially called Lou Xinhua over, and the two of them drank while watching the children and Lou Xiaoe feasting on their food.

"I didn't expect that you, Damao, have such great cooking skills. This is better than any food cooked by any chef I've eaten in Hong Kong. I'm afraid even my sister-in-law can't compare to you." Lou Xinhua praised.

"The kids love to eat it, I just messed around with it, it's not worth mentioning. If you have time in the future, just come to my house often to eat. I will stay here for a long time in the future."

"That's great, but I don't have that much time. I'll go there to eat and drink when the fleet comes back!"

The meal took more than an hour. After the meal, Xu Damao and his family took a leisurely walk on the deck before going to bed.

After more than ten days of sailing, the family finally arrived in Hong Kong safely. Xu Damao brought a large group of people to the warehouse near the dock to look for someone.

This warehouse was the one that Xu Damao had rented before for the convenience of storing grain and other supplies, but it was later bought directly as a transit warehouse for trade materials. Xu Chao's brothers are guarding it all day long.

It would be easy to deal with if it was only Xu Damao's family, but the main thing is that Xu Damao brought a lot of people this time, so Xu Chao needed to arrange more vehicles to settle them.

Xu Damao used the phone here to call Xu Chao and asked him to arrange a car to pick him up and prepare a car for him. Since he came to Hong Kong, he must visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law first. Although he often came here, he only brought his wife here a few times in these years, so he must meet his wife's needs first.

Xu Damao and his family drove directly into the small villa bought by Lou's father. Lou's father and mother came out to greet them as soon as they got the news.

"Dad! Mom!"

"Grandma, hold me!"

Mother Lou hugged her children happily and was reluctant to let go. She had taken care of the two older ones for a long time and her feelings for them were extremely deep.

"Stop standing in the yard and let's go back to the living room. We have to prepare dinner later." Lou Zhenhua said.

“Yes, yes, yes, please come into the house quickly. I have to arrange for someone to go out and buy some ingredients later. I will be the one cooking tonight.” Mother Lou wiped her tears and said with a smile.
