Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

At this time, Yu Shui had already pulled her sister-in-law into the inner room and was taking out the gifts she had bought from Hong Kong one by one. Of course, she would not say that these were all bought from Hong Kong.

"Sister-in-law, these are the clothes for your family, these are the cosmetics for us women, this is the shoulder bag, and this is the belt and scarf for my brother. Damao asked someone to get them from far away."

Liang Ladi stared at these things with shining eyes, obviously he also liked them very much, but it was obvious that these things were not cheap. Liang Ladi took a final look and said, "Yu Shui, no, these things are too expensive, I can't take them."

Yu Shui only knew that her man was rich before. It was only after she went to Hong Kong that she realized how rich he was. She no longer cared so much about these things. She herself didn’t usually wear these clothes.

"Oh, sister-in-law, just take it. We are both earning salaries. This is not the first year. I won't buy so much in the future." Yu Shui persuaded.

"That's too much. It will easily make people jealous."

"What's wrong with wearing new clothes during the New Year? Just keep them hidden during normal times." Yu Shui persuaded Liang Ladi again, and Liang Ladi finally agreed.

Soon, the sound of Sha Zhu cooking was heard, and the two girls hurried over to clean the table and serve the dishes. Xu Damao was telling stories to a few children, and the four children gathered around Xu Damao and listened with great interest.

Soon a large table of dishes was placed on the table, and Sha Zhu took out two bottles of wine from the cupboard and placed them on the table with a bang.

"Come on, let's not go home until we are drunk. I will make you drunk today."

When Xu Damao saw the bottle of Xifeng and the bottle of Wuliangye, he thought that this silly Zhu was quite thoughtful.

"Okay, remember I love Xifeng, then I'll drink with you."

Sha Zhu's face turned slightly red, but no one could see it because his face was too dark. How could a rough man like him pay attention to this? Liang Ladi had prepared these two bottles of wine.

"Come, today is the first time that Yu Shui returns to her parents' home after getting married. I'll also entertain you, her brother-in-law." Sha Zhu opened the bottle and started pouring wine.

Xu Damao knew that he was taking advantage of him verbally, but he ignored him because he was right.

The children had small appetites and finished their meal quickly. Then the adults started to chat and drink. Sha Zhu and Xu Damao both drank quite a bit.

"Brother, why hasn't Dad come back yet? He said he was troubled by the White Widow. It's been a while, so it should be about time." Yu Shui asked.

"If he wants to come, he can come. If he doesn't come, I won't miss him. It would be better for him to die outside." Sha Zhu muttered. After drinking some wine, he became less restrained in his words.

"Brother, what are you talking about!"

Liang Ladi saw that Sha Zhu had drunk too much and was talking nonsense, so he reached out and pinched him.

"Hey, who pinched me! Wasn't what I said right?" Sha Zhu said stubbornly.

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with what you said, so there is nothing wrong with me beating you."

A few people turned their heads and saw a man coming in from outside. The man walked up to Sha Zhu and hit him on the back of the head.

"Dad!" Yu Shui had already seen clearly who was coming and rushed towards him. She lacked this kind of family love.

Sha Zhu touched the back of his head which was a little painful, and he became more awake. "Dad, why are you back?"

He Daqing squinted at his silly son. "Shouldn't I have come back? If I hadn't come back, how would I have known that you were saying bad things about me behind my back? You are so filial. Why didn't I beat you to death at that time?"

Liang Ladi saw that her father-in-law was angry, so she quickly said, "Dad, calm down. You've worked hard on the journey. I'll get you some bowls and chopsticks. Let's eat first."

Liang Ladi quickly stood up and brought over a new set of bowls and chopsticks and a wine glass.

"Go and bring in your father's luggage." He Daqing ordered Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu reluctantly got up and brought He Daqing's luggage in from outside the house.

He Daqing didn't care about Sha Zhu, poured himself a glass of wine and said, "Come on, uncle, let's have a drink together. I couldn't even make it back for your wedding."

The father-in-law has already shown goodwill, and Xu Damao can't keep being pretentious. After all, you married his daughter.

"Dad, I should be the one to toast you."

The two clinked their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

Liang Ladi stood up again and brought a bottle of wine over. "Dad, the children are probably playing in the main hall. I'll go call them over."

Liang Ladi quickly went out of the house to call for help, and Sha Zhu came over after putting his luggage away.

"Dad, what took you so long this time? It won't be easy for that Bai guy to let you come back, right?" Yu Shui asked.

"Hey, I was entangled with that white widow for more than a month before I divorced. I supported her family for so long, but she still wanted to covet my money. In the end, the street office and the police came several times before I divorced."

"If it was just this matter, I would have returned a long time ago. I wasted a lot of time dealing with work matters. Our company wouldn't let me go. They said that if I left, the cafeteria would have no chef who could handle everything on its own."

"In the end, I had no choice but to train two more chefs for the company, which delayed the process for a while. In the end, I sold my job and got the money back."

Although He Daqing said it lightly, it also shows that it was not easy for him to come back this time.

"Dad, you are not young anymore. Do you want to just live in retirement or continue to find a job?" Yu Shui asked.

"I'll take a break first. I'm exhausted from working all these years. I'll find a job after I've had enough rest and try to leave more assets for you." He Daqing said.

"grandfather!"

"Happy New Year, Grandpa!"

"Grandpa, I wish you a happy new year."

"I kowtow to Grandpa!"

Sanmao was the most down-to-earth. As soon as he entered the room, he knelt down in the direction of He Daqing and kowtowed three times.

Everyone was watching all this in amazement. These kids are really good. It seems that they all like He Daqing very much.

Fortunately, He Da had prepared early in the morning, "Shazhu, quickly bring my luggage over, there is a red envelope I prepared in advance."

Sha Zhu reluctantly carried the luggage over again. His father knew how to order him around as soon as he came back.

He Daqing first asked Sanmao to get up, then he opened the suitcase and rummaged around, finally finding four red envelopes.

"Here, this is the New Year's money that grandpa gave you, one for each of you."

Several children accepted the red envelopes happily. They had envied other children for a long time, but this was the second time they received New Year's money except for the time they received it at their grandmother's house.

We haven't had time to go to Cai Quanwu's place yet, mainly because Shazhu wants to go with Yushui and his wife, so he's not in a hurry.

"Wow, there are five dollars! Now I can buy a lot of firecrackers and candies." Ermao couldn't wait to open the red envelope and take a look at it and said.

Firstly, He Daqing wanted to build a good relationship with Sha Zhu's family. Secondly, he had a lot of money so he could be more generous, so he gave the children five yuan as New Year's money.

Xu Damao also took out four red envelopes and shook them in his hands, "Only children who pay New Year's greetings get lucky money."

The four children started a new round of New Year's greetings.

Liang Ladi stretched out his evil hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Come on, give the money to mom first. I'll save it for you to go to school."

Several children handed over their New Year's money reluctantly. Liang Ladi saw that they were dejected and took out four fifty-cent bills and handed them over.

"Mom is not unreasonable. You can buy whatever you want with the money tomorrow. Who did you learn this kowtowing to wish a happy new year from?"

"I learned it from the Yan family's children. Yesterday we saw them kowtow to Second Grandfather, and then Second Grandfather gave them New Year's money."
