Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Xu Damao ran away, and Sha Zhu was happy at first.

But later on, Sha Zhu was no longer happy. It seemed that without Sister Qin's support, Sha Zhu's limited intelligence once again took over.

The conflict between Xu Damao and him was actually instigated by Yi Zhonghai. Sha Zhu knew all this, but after years of conflict, his relationship with Xu Damao had not improved.

Especially after Xu Damao started to live his life sincerely, got a wife and a daughter, and was promoted, the two of them had even less contact.

Sha Zhu now occasionally thinks of some things in the past, and now when he thinks about Xu Damao again, he still seems to miss him a little.

He has no friends now, and the one among his few friends is actually Xu Damao. Although that was more than ten years ago, when his father had not yet run away, he, Xu Damao, and Jia Dongxu actually have a pretty good relationship with each other.

This is one of the few happy times in Shazhu's memory.

Now that Xu Damao has really left, Sha Zhu feels somewhat upset.

As for Chen Xu, Sha Zhu and Chen Xu have never had a good relationship. After all, Chen Xu is not his childhood friend. The person who he could manipulate at will in the past can now easily trample him to death.

For Sha Zhu, it was already generous of Chen Xu that he did not take the opportunity to retaliate against him.

As everyone now recognizes, there is definitely no problem with Chen Xu's character.

Sha Zhu now also admits this. If he were in Chen Xu's position, he would definitely do his best to suppress himself for offending him in the past.

If Chen Xu knew what Sha Zhu was thinking, he would only sneer at him.

Suppress you?

Don’t you see what a mess you are in now? Besides, in a while, many people will want to kill you.

Bless yourself.

The current situation is becoming more and more wrong. Although there is still some time before the wind started as Chen Xu remembered, big-character posters have already appeared and various slogans have never stopped.

But the most important link is still missing.

The storm officially begins when the big boss stands up, waves his fist and shouts "I support you."

As for now, it is the calm before the storm.

It seemed like everyone was waiting.

Except for Chen Xu, no one knows what will happen in China next, or in other words, no one can guess how big a wave this storm will create.

At this critical moment, the old man retired without any warning.

Chen Xu heaved a sigh of relief. The old man still wanted to rescue him. It was actually a good thing for him to step down now. It was much better than being driven out directly.

No matter what, he has been relying on the old man's banner for many years.

When I saw the old man again, he was fishing.

"You don't sell fishing rods anymore?"

Chen Xu was also fishing, and the two came together.

"Who has the mood to buy a fishing rod now? It's better to cast a few rods by yourself to satisfy your own desire."

The old man scolded with a smile, not caring about Chen Xu's teasing.

"Xiao Chen, just live peacefully these few years. Don't cause trouble, and don't be afraid of it. As long as you don't make any mistakes now, no one can touch you..."

Chen Xu knew that the old man was giving him a warning. It seemed that the old man knew something was going to happen a long time ago, but it was not surprising.

After all, many things have signs, and those who don’t know the truth are always just people at the bottom of society.

"Don't worry, old man. I never cause trouble."

The old man believed what Chen Xu said. Chen Xu had never taken the initiative to cause trouble. But once someone provoked him, it was hard to say. Either they would die or be injured. The rest would be sent to labor camps...

The old man thought he understood what kind of person Chen Xu was. He was like a hedgehog and would prick anyone who dared to touch him.

"Do you want Xiaoyue to recognize a godparent?"

This is the Nth time the old man has said this, and even he himself doesn't have much hope.

"it is good."

Chen Xu did not refuse this time.

"Really?"

The old man was a little bit unbelievable.

I was speechless. When I was in a high position, you avoided me. Now that I'm retired, you agree to it...

Chen Xu's behavior was somewhat strange in the old man's eyes, but only Chen Xu himself knew what was going on. He simply didn't want to get involved in trouble.

"You can't bully an old man like me and regret it..."

The old man did not forget to add one more sentence.

Chen Xu was speechless. Who would dare to bully a retired major general? Ask those four notorious guys if they dare?

Not to mention the old man, even Chen Xu could really go to the big boss to appeal for justice now...

As for those senior generals who got into trouble, the most important thing is that someone is eyeing their positions.

Who would be stupid enough to offend an old man like him? He is just fighting for power, his brain is not kicked by a donkey.

The old man has let it go now, and retiring now does not necessarily mean he is stepping down from his post.

There are many people who make the same choice as him. After all, he is already old and there is no chance for further advancement even if he stays in the position. Seeing that the situation has become irreversible, it is better to protect himself.

The country is like a powder keg right now, and all it needs is an opportunity.

The old man has been eyeing Xiaoyueliang for a long time. Chen Xu feels that Xiaoyueliang seems to like the old man and Li Ge's wife very much, so he no longer hesitates and simply follows the old man's wishes.

Xiao Yueliang's visit to her godparents did not cause much commotion. The two families just had a meal together, and a few of the old man's old friends came to witness the event, and that was it.

After returning home, Xiaoyue was a little confused.

"Dad, haven't I always called you Grandpa Li? What's the difference?"

"There really isn't much difference. Just be the same as you were before."

"Oh."

Little Moon tilted her head and thought for a while. Her father's words did not clear up her confusion, but she didn't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, her father said there was no difference.

Chen Xu knew very well what the old man was thinking. He just wanted to feel the feeling of having a granddaughter. When people get old, they tend to care for their families, and the old man is no exception. What's more, he really has nothing to do now.

Lin Chan was a little curious about why her man suddenly agreed to become godparents. You know, Chen Xu had been dragging it on for almost two years, and the old man had this idea when Xiaoyue was just born.

"Nothing, I just figured it out."

Chen Xu smiled and said that he didn't have to wait until the old man retired, but he felt that the old man was so persistent that if he didn't agree, the old man might die with regrets one day.

Of course, he would never say this to anyone.

After all, the two families have a good relationship, so just think of it as coaxing the old man.

After all, there is not much difference between taking care of the elderly and coaxing children.

Little Yueyue was fiddling with the gifts given to her by the old man and his family: a longevity lock and a bell that was said to have been blessed.

Locks can prolong life, bells can calm the soul.

Chen Xu was amused. The old man's thoughts were not so firm. He might as well pray to himself instead of relying on these two things to keep him safe. At least in his own world, he could really keep him safe. He just needed to explain to the world...

However, when I thought of the old man’s grandson who died young, I felt a little more enlightened. Only when you lose something will you cherish it more.

I guess in the old man's mind, he doesn't expect his descendants to achieve much, but rather hopes that they can grow up safely, peacefully and happily.
