Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

The Lou family’s former two-story Western-style building has also begun to be renovated.

As soon as the summer vacation began, Xu Jun and Yuan Ya went to the civil affairs department to register. Although it was an international marriage and the procedures were different, the registration went smoothly.

Xu Jun also helped Yuan Ya get a visa to the United States. Before leaving, Xu Damao did not forget to tell Xu Jun,

"Huohuo, ask your mentor, Jason Qi, if his brother is called Qi Delong. If there is a chance, ask him to come back."

With the help of her aunt, Yuan Ya successfully passed the Caltech exam and obtained a pass to study in the United States. Xu Jun also went to Philadelphia and visited his mentor Qi Huan with his father's questions.

After reporting on his one-semester exchange polymer research in China, Xu Jun finally asked his supervisor,

"Teacher Qi, you said before that your family lived in Wudaoying. Is it possible that you have residences somewhere else?"

"Not only Wudaoying, but also Lishi Hutong, Caoyuan Hutong, and Donghua Hall. There are so many houses there."

"Is your biological father called Qi Delong?"

"Xu, where did you get the news about my father? My father is still alive? That's impossible, right? Then he really lived a hundred years?"

"Teacher, if your father's name is really Qi Delong, he passed away in 63, which is more than years ago. My biological father in Kyoto arranged his funeral. And your family's house in Caoyuan Hutong, my father said he would take care of it for you, and if you want to go back to Kyoto, he can return it to you."

"Is this true? Is it such a coincidence? After more than 20 years, the old man is okay. He is over 70 years old. He is still blessed."

Xu Jun accompanied Qi Huan for three whole days and ate Chinese food in Chinatown for three days, with each meal being different from others.

"Xu, do you know? My father was very competitive and loved to eat. He ate all the family property. Before the liberation of Kyoto, he sold some of his property and got some money to let me come to the United States. He couldn't bear to leave his food, so he stayed in Kyoto. I don't know how your father knew my father. I have decided to go to Kyoto this year to pay homage. As for the house, forget it, I'll leave it to you. My daughter doesn't want to go back to Kyoto. Now she has gone to Germany. I haven't seen her for several years. My son is also a nerd now. He lives with his mother and has been completely westernized. Don't worry about him. I live alone now, and I can live any way I want. As long as my research on polymer materials has results, you can help bring them back to China slowly, which will fulfill my painstaking efforts. Before I went abroad, my father told me not to forget my ancestors. I still remember it clearly. That's why I asked you to go back and participate in the doctoral student exchange at Tsinghua University. The purpose is to transfer scientific research results."

Xu Jun was moved. Looking at this mentor who had once been like a father to him, he couldn't suppress the emotions that welled up in his heart.

"Teacher, don't be afraid. You still have me. My father has many children, so I don't need to take care of him in his old age. Since God has willed my father to take care of your father in his old age, I will take care of you in your old age. And teacher, you don't know that my father has also made extraordinary achievements. I hope you can go back to Kyoto with me during this winter vacation. First, I want to go back to Kyoto to get married and hold a wedding. Second, I want to accompany you to worship your father. Also, let my father comb your body to make you younger and healthier. Then you will have more time to do research, so that you don't have to sigh and say that you don't have enough time, which will become a regret."

Qi Huan was somewhat stunned...

"It's true. My dad said that he didn't practice martial arts, but Taoism. Although I don't know how magical it is, you've seen my mom. She had white hair in her forties. During these few trips back to Kyoto, under my dad's care, she is now radiant, as if she has regained her youth, full of energy, and no trace of white hair. My dad's wife in Kyoto is fifty years old, but she looks like she's in her early thirties. Believe me, it will be possible."

"Oh, then I'm actually looking forward to it."

Before the school started, Xu Jun flew back to Los Angeles and went to Lou Xiaohui's place. Yuan Ya was still arranged to stay at her aunt's place. Xu Jun was very happy to hear that Caltech had accepted Yuan Ya. Although they were separated in two places, in the east and west, it was more convenient than in Kyoto.

Taking advantage of the time, he took Yuan Ya to Hong Kong, and returned to Los Angeles just before school started, and then Xu Jun returned to Philadelphia.

What Xu Jun didn't expect was that Yuan Ya was pregnant during this summer vacation. Yuan Ya didn't find out until the winter vacation.

Xu Damao in Kyoto had no idea that such a good thing would be born in just one summer vacation.

He still attends his classes at his own pace as usual.

The only thing that made him a little dissatisfied was that the female hero Fang Xiaoru joined the Feng Polymer Research Laboratory of the School of Chemical Engineering after Xu Jun exchanged research materials on polymer composite materials with them. She was so busy that she couldn't even take care of her own daughter Dang Shuying.

Every week, Xu Damao would go to Fang's house to pick up Fang Shuying and take them to Dongsishitiao to spend a day together as sisters, and then Fang Shuying would go to school by herself on Monday.

The schedule was really tight. On September 9, the Beijing Sichuan Restaurant located in Fuxingmen opened grandly. There was a 28% discount for three days, from Friday to Sunday.

The dinner was packed and the place was a great success.

On Friday, Xu Damao invited Fan Changlong, Wang Weiyi and other people he had fought with in the past to have a meal together.

On Saturday, we invited the Pu family and teacher Ruan Fangshui to have a meal together.

On Saturday night, we invited Master Zhang Taihe and her entire family, including Li Dongsheng's family from Yard 95, to have dinner together.

On Sunday, I arranged for the Fang family to have dinner at a restaurant with my family.

Excellent reviews, first-rate food, first-rate environment, and first-rate service.

He Yuzhu saw it all and was happy in his heart. He and his fellow apprentices had great potential for making money with their cooking skills. How could he not be happy?

However, the Beijing-style private kitchen hosted by Yu Li welcomed several people that Yu Li disliked the most. No one could have guessed it. The two brothers Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangqi from the backyard brought Yan Jiecheng from the front yard to liberate the two brothers. There was also Li Huaide, the former director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and now a deputy in the Kyoto Wujiaohua Company, who came to the restaurant for dinner. Li Huaide also brought a secretary named You Fengxia. At first glance, she looked like a foxy woman.

Yu Li hadn't seen Li Huaide for so many years, and she thought that the things in her heart had passed. Maybe it was because she was busy making money and ignored it. Today, when she saw Li Huaide coming in with several people from Yard 95, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Li Huaide had actually noticed a change in Yu Li's expression at the cashier counter, but he still managed to seize the opportunity to do his job.

"Yu Li, would you like to see me more often? Today, I'm here with a few brothers from your compound to taste the craftsmanship left by Sha Zhu. You won't be unwelcome, right? The past is gone. The country has reformed and opened up, and we have to focus on money. Boss Yu, can you arrange a private room for us?"

Open for business, everyone who comes is a guest. Yu Li calmed down and said, "Director Li, everyone, please go to room number 2. I'll give you a 30% discount today."
