Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

Finally, Xu Damao was left alone in the study by Pu Yulin.

"Da Mao, my wife will be in your care from now on. I know your ability is much stronger than Yan Ji Pu Ju's. I can leave Beijing without any worries while you take care of Yan Zhen. Alas, so many years have passed in a flash. I didn't expect that I would have to leave my hometown when I am old."

"Teacher Pu, I am your disciple who has served you tea and kowtowed to you. Once a teacher, I am a father for life. Don't worry, your wife is in Beijing, I will definitely protect her."

Pu Yulin took out a box from the desk drawer and handed it to Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, you don't have a given name yet, right?"

"Teacher Pu, my family is from a working class background, and no elders have given me a courtesy name yet."

"Da Mao, a friend in need is a friend indeed. This is a seal I carved for you last night: A friend in need is a friend indeed. If you don't mind, you can call me Zhibai."

Xu Damao opened the box and saw a light green oval seal made of Qingtian frozen stone lying in the small box. It was simple and without any decoration. Xu Damao took it out and blew on it, then stamped it on the palm of his hand. The clear large seal characters of Zhibai were in the palm of his hand.

Xu Damao carefully put the seal back into the small box, holding the seal in his hand. Then he stood up seriously and bowed to Pu Yulin, "Thank you for the name, teacher."

Pu Yulin was still very happy. "It's getting late, Damao, you should go back too. The day after tomorrow our colleagues from the museum will leave together, so you don't have to come and see us off. I'll write to you when we get there."

"Teacher, the south is rainy and humid, so you should take care of yourself. I'm leaving now, but you can rest assured that I'm here in Kyoto."

Pu Yulin watched Xu Damao leave the study with understanding, and called Yan Ji into the study again...

Although it was not a life-and-death separation, the long-term separation without seeing the end was still a very sad scene. As the eldest in the family, Yan Ji still had to shoulder the burden of the Pu family. He had to give some instructions. Pu Yulin handed over all the important matters of the family to Yan Ji and Pu Ju, including the invisible property of the family, which was simply some precious antique calligraphy and paintings collected.

Xu Damao was not aware of these things. After leaving Pu's house, thinking that it was not far from Fang Xiaoru's residence, Xu Damao still turned a corner and went there. The last time he returned to the city from Baishui Village, Xu Damao had completely offended this lady, and he had to go and apologize.

Fortunately, my aunt was still at home.

"You rascal, you are not welcome here, get out."

"Comrade Fang Xiaoru, you have to listen to my explanation. I'm thirsty and I'll give you a glass of water. I'll leave after I'm done." Xu Damao was not that thin-skinned. He slid straight into the courtyard and went straight into the house.

Aunt Fang is really enjoying herself at home drinking tea and smoking.

"Oh, life is pretty good. What kind of cigarette is this? Oh, Peony, a good cigarette. Have one." He took out a cigarette while talking to himself, sat down, took the white porcelain cup, poured tea into it and drank it.

"Asshole, you are so shameless."

"Xiao Ru, I am a scumbag. You are right to scold me. Drink while you can, pluck the flowers when they are ready. I am just a bastard, what can you do to me? I just came in to smoke your cigarette and drink your tea. You are so stingy."

"Is that what I'm talking about? You would rather marry that country girl Gu Meifang than consider me. Do you think I'm cheap or something?"

"Look at you, what did you say? I'm glad I didn't say that to you. Think about it, your ex-husband was a well-educated man with a good family background, but your parents didn't agree. Do you think your parents would agree to you marrying me, who comes from a working-class family, for the second time? Really. Now at least your parents have a better relationship with you, but you want to make trouble and mess up the relationship between father and daughter. It doesn't matter if I tell you about the matter between Gu Meifang and me. I met Gu Meifang when I went to the countryside before I got married. At that time, she was a widow. I hooked up with her, and she was also For the sake of the children, she gave herself to me, and we developed feelings for each other. I am a bit of a jerk, and I did not break up with her even after we got married. I would go to her house from time to time. I also took her son as an apprentice and got him to work in our factory as a formal worker. I also introduced her daughter to my nephew as his wife. Last year, our factory explained the matter between me and my ex-wife, now called my ex-wife. What did I explain? It said that my ex-wife's family, as big capitalists, ran away and disappeared, and even my three children were gone with them. I explained it clearly. What can I say?

Gu Meifang, in fact, is somewhat grateful to me and wants to give me a child. Firstly, there is an inseparable affection between her and me from now on. Secondly, I am also considering her reputation in the village. I am willing to marry her. It is reasonable and beneficial. Look, the unit thinks that I have no problem now and reinstated me. Right? If you don't take advantage of the opportunity, you are a bastard. I am not that stupid.

As for the relationship with you, you are a highly educated person, we are willing and we both get what we need. If you feel that you can't understand this, then I will definitely not bother you again in the future. Don't curse in your heart, yes, I am just eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. If you feel that you have suffered a loss, go to the G Committee to report me. Say that I have a bad style and corrupt morals, I will never say anything. Well, I have finished talking and smoking, and I am leaving. You take care of yourself. "

Xu Damao pinched the butt of his cigarette, drank another cup of tea, and stood up, "Hero Fang, goodbye."

"Goodbye, I won't see you off. Please close the gate."

Fang Xiaoru was very angry and would not listen to Xu Damao's nonsense.

After Xu Damao really left and there was no sound anymore, she finally realized: this guy really left.

Reporting her, that's definitely impossible, she still has to maintain her reputation, if she reports herself she'll become a slut. That won't work.

Besides, the man didn't force himself on her at that time. It was a matter of mutual consent. It seemed that this guy was quite experienced and loyal. Fang Xiaoru was not a pedantic person. She had the chivalrous spirit of a woman in the underworld. Otherwise, she wouldn't have fought against the blockade of more than a dozen Red Guards with a kitchen knife that day, and she wouldn't have fought her way out and saved her parents.

"Tsk, you're just a lousy movie projectionist, what's so great about you? How could I, Fang Xiaoru, a female hero of the generation, be afraid of you? Let me marry you in a grand ceremony, and I won't let you go, what can you do to me? Come again next time, I'll break your third leg. Then I'll let you know how powerful I am." Fang Xiaoru drank a cup of tea instead of wine, then slammed the teacup on the tea table with a bang, and it almost broke into pieces.

Fortunately, fortunately, it didn't crack. Fang Xiaoru treasured this tea set very much. "Humph, it's all the fault of that bastard Xu Damao."

When Xu Damao returned to Dongsi's house, Gu Meifang twisted a towel and handed it to him, "Boss, how is your teacher's matter going?"

"I'm going to be sent down to the south, leaving the day after tomorrow. Teacher Pu is my mentor, and he entrusted his wife to me, asking me to take care of her in Kyoto. Alas, this world is so chaotic, it's hard to find justice. Meifang, go out less often, and if someone comes to your house, try not to open the door, and ask them to wait until I'm home. One more thing, if the street office asks how many people live here, just say Xiaoyong is getting married soon, and his daughter and son-in-law are living here. This will prevent anyone from worrying about our empty room."

When Xu Damao talked about this, he suddenly remembered his residence on Yandaixie Street. He had been quite busy recently and had forgotten to visit the house for several days. Don't let anyone miss the house, as half of his wealth and treasures are still buried in the basement of the main bedroom.
