Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Chen Xu didn't care about the plot being changed. He had already messed up the whole thing anyway, so this little change didn't need to be a big deal.

What's more, he has a pretty good relationship with Liu Haizhong, and they can be considered as frequent drinking buddies.

Xu Damao has been going out early and coming back late recently. Chen Xu could probably guess that it was related to the Lou family. After all, it has been six or five years now. Even if Lou Bancheng has to deal with the problems left over by the Lou family first, it should be almost done.

Liu Haizhong's wedding banquet was very grand, several levels better than those of Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li. It was obvious that Liu Haizhong was trying to win over the residents of the courtyard house. The banquet was to celebrate his promotion to eighth-level technician and to build momentum for himself, the manager who would soon become the boss.

As the saying goes, one should be grateful to those who have eaten your food and should be grateful to those who have received your gifts.

This move by Liu Haizhong is quite suitable.

There is no bottled wine, but there is plenty of free-flowing liquor. If you are not satisfied with the drinking, especially if the wine runs out halfway through the banquet, it will be a shame for the host. As a man from the old city, Liu Haizhong definitely understands this intricacies.

As a result, many people fell down drunk at the banquet.

Chen Xu and Xu Damao were both a little tipsy, but not completely drunk.

Xu Damao's alcohol tolerance is actually quite good. He must have a limit to the amount of drinks he can have with his boss, one big and three small. At least he has to take turns with everyone at the table. If he passes out after just a few glasses, then there's no point in drinking.

Not to mention Chen Xu, this amount of wine is just enough to moisten his throat.

In the evening, after Xu Damao sent Lou Xiao'e back home, he found Chen Xu alone.

"Brother, give me some advice, should I leave or..."

Xu Damao was a little drunk, but still sober. He had been worrying about this these days. If there was no child, Xu Damao might have waited for the Lou family to discuss it and then reported it directly after the Lou family left.

But the situation is completely different now. Once the Lou family leaves, he doesn’t know when he and Lou Xiao’e will meet again. Not to mention their relationship, what should Xiao Yang do?

If the Lou family wanted to take Xu Damao away, they would definitely not want to, but if he stayed in Sijiu City, Lou Xiao'e would definitely not want to either.

Xu Damao is a little hesitant now, but his father and Lou Bancheng both hope that he will leave with them and go to Gangcheng to develop.

Xu Damao struggled for a long time, and finally decided to ask his brother.

Chen Xu pondered for a long time.

"If you can't bear to leave your wife and children, it's better for you to leave together. Although it was a little dangerous over there just now, there are also many opportunities."

“I just don’t know what I can do if I go there…”

Xu Damao sighed. Nowadays, people's activity area is actually not very large. Xu Damao has stayed in the old city for decades. At most, he went to the countryside to show movies. He was unsure about suddenly having to run thousands of miles away to start over.

In fact, Chen Xu was not clear about these things. The Hong Kong city should be in chaos now. It would be even more chaotic in another year, with gangs everywhere.

The Lou family must have some connections in Gangcheng, otherwise Lou Xiao'e would not have been able to have her own business even after staying in Gangcheng for ten years. Xu Damao probably also relied on the Lou family in the past.

"Then are you willing to give up your wife and daughter?"

Chen Xu asked the key question. If Xu Damao could give up Lou Xiao'e and Xiao Taiyang, then there was no need to consider this and he could just stay. But if he couldn't bear to do so, then it would be a waste of time to think so much now.

"Brother, tell me, if Ezi breaks off the marriage like rain, will it..."

"It's useless. Lou Xiao'e is not Yu Shui. No one cares about Yu Shui's breaking off of the relationship because there is no benefit to be gained from her, so others don't care. If the Lou family leaves such a loophole, you should be able to imagine the consequences..."

Xu Damao was silent. Of course he could think of it, but he was just wishful thinking. But now Chen Xu told him directly not to have such thoughts.

The situations of Lou Xiao'e and Yu Shui are completely different. The Lou family ran away and Lou Xiao'e staying was simply seeking death.

"I know how to do it."

Xu Damao looked a little depressed. Although it seemed that there were two paths to choose from, for Xu Damao who was reluctant to leave his wife and daughter, there was actually only one.

"Okay, don't be so grim. You can still come back in ten years at most. There's nothing to be afraid of. You might be doing well out there by then."

Chen Xu just laughed and scolded.

"Yeah, just think of it as going out to do business."

Xu Damao felt better when he saw Chen Xu who didn't take it seriously.

"Brother, what do you mean by ten years?"

"No, I just estimated that even if the country is in chaos, it can't always be in chaos, right? It will eventually recover."

Xu Damao nodded in agreement; he believed in Chen Xu's judgment.

Chen Xu didn't ask what plans the Xu and Lou families had. That wasn't important to him.

As time goes by, the current situation is becoming more and more wrong. Lou Bancheng must be able to notice it. If he wants to leave, he will naturally choose the right time to escape.

But there is only one chance. The longer you delay, the more trouble you will have. If someone starts to keep an eye on the Lou family, it will not be easy to leave.

However, Chen Xu had no intention of reminding him. If he could figure it out, Lou Bancheng would not be unable to see it.

After graduation, Chen Dan was assigned to the steel rolling mill. He was a level 5 technician when he entered the factory. This shows the importance of academic qualifications. He was also valued by the only engineer in the steel rolling mill, who accepted him as his apprentice.

This was done out of respect for Chen Xu, and also because Chen Dan had excellent grades and a quick mind, and was a good candidate for technical work, so the engineer took the opportunity to accept him as his disciple.

This was a complete change of fate for Chen Dan.

Many people know that Chen Dan is Chen Xu's cousin and look up to him. They praise Chenjia Village for its outstanding people and beautiful scenery. The elder brother is very capable, and the younger brother graduated from a technical secondary school. If he also has an engineer master, he will have a bright future. The ancestral tomb must be filled with smoke several feet high...

Chen Dan had originally planned to live in the courtyard house, but unfortunately there were no vacant rooms in the courtyard house, so he could only live in the dormitory arranged by the steel rolling mill.

Chen Xu didn't pay much attention to his cousin's affairs. With him as an older brother, the people in the steel mill would not bully his younger brother.

However, something unexpected happened on the night when Chen Xu was welcoming Chen Dan.

It was already dark when the family sent Chen Xu back to the dormitory.

Chen Xu held Xiaoyueliang and Lin Chan in his arms, talking and laughing. The family was having a great time, but soon Chen Xu noticed something unusual.

Someone is following you.

This is a strange thing.

Chen Xu asked himself that the matter of his space had never been exposed except to Lin Chan, and he was just a small shrimp in the system now, so it should not be profitable no matter how you looked at it.

As for the Lou family, Lou Bancheng has not run away yet, and even if he really ran away, it would not involve him. After all, Chen Xu has always been very careful and has no contact with Lou Bancheng on the surface.

Besides, given the halo around him, it's unlikely that anyone would deliberately target him.

He gave Lin Chan a look, and Lin Chan understood immediately. The two of them had already developed a good understanding of each other after being together for so many years.

Neither of them felt overly alert to the danger, but Chen Xu still carefully chose to stay closer to Lin Chan to ensure that he could escape immediately if anything really happened.

Now that it was gradually getting dark, Chen Xu felt more at ease.

The night was his home ground. Facing two top fighters and with the help of space, he was not too worried.
