Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

After the private kitchen closed, Yu Li stayed in the restaurant alone, turned off the lights, and stayed alone for a while. The various situations in the early years lingered in her mind like a movie. Because of her sister's fault, the series of humiliations that eventually triggered it made Yu Li cry again in the store.

Although for so many years, perhaps only she and Li Huaide knew about it, but seeing Li Huaide today once again awakened the humiliation in her heart. The aggressive eyes seemed to pierce her weak gallbladder, and she was pregnant with her daughter He Jianyu.

After a long cry, Yu Li finally came to her senses. Yes, make money, reach a height you can't imagine, and then I will use money to crush you.

No one knew about this scene. When Yu Li got home, she was still as confident as ever and did not show any unhappiness at all.

The sun will still rise tomorrow. Let the past go. Don't recall, don't pursue. Revenge, still remember. This is motivation.

He Yuzhu vividly described to Yu Li the booming scene of the new store, and Yu Li was very happy. She was one step closer to her goal.

"Zhu Zi, do you think the Yan family in the front yard, the Liu brothers in the back yard, and Li Huaide are doing something? When I was serving food today, I heard something about steel. Are they doing something illegal?"

"You don't know this, do you? Liu Haizhong in the backyard had an apprentice. In 77, the college entrance examination was resumed. He passed the exam and was assigned to the Third Steel Rolling Mill after graduation. Because the cadres were required to be professional and young, he was promoted to deputy production director in less than two years. Now Kyoto is building everywhere, and Li Huaide is a person with a background. He must be selling approval documents. Hey, those four pigs of theirs still want to get stupid benefits from Li Huaide. It's good enough if they don't get cheated by him in the end. Let's not worry about those unimportant things. Cats have their ways, and mice have their ways. Let's take care of our own business and make money while we have such a good time. That's what we call doing business properly."

Yu Li thought about it and decided that it was true. Li Huaide wouldn't come to her place to eat often anyway. Now that her children were grown up and Dun Dun was getting married, she was not afraid of the past happening again, so she felt at ease.

It’s really tiring, but counting money feels really good.

Time flies so fast. Winter has arrived in the blink of an eye. He Yuzhu is also creative and lets Yu Li's store and the store in Fuxingmen launch hot pot series at the same time.

It was snowing outside, and we were eating hotpot around a hot copper pot inside. The taste was amazing.

The two restaurants were really popular. People lined up to reserve tables and they were fully booked every day. He Jianxin even had to postpone his wedding.

It was almost the New Year's Eve, and Xu Damao went to Fuxingmen Restaurant to order a meal, saying that he would hold his son Xu Jun's wedding on the 20th of the lunar year. Only then did the Fuxingmen Restaurant put up a sign: The owner is having a baby, so the restaurant will be closed for three days.

On the 20th of the lunar year, a wedding was held at Fuxingmen.

So many people came.

Two groups of people came from the United States. One was Lou Xiao'e's elder sister Lou Xiaohui, and the other was Xu Jun's mentor Qi Huan.

Tan Yali, Xu Ning, Xu Nian, Bai Wenting, Bai Wenming and Lou Xiaoe from Hong Kong were all present.

Mrs. Zhang and her family, Pu Yulin and his family, Fang Yude and his wife, and Fang Xiaoru and her daughter. Professor Chu and his wife also came to the scene.

In Compound No. 95, Xu Damao also invited Liu Haizhong and his wife, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang, Yan Fugui and his wife, and Li Dongsheng's family.

Zheng Yongjun, Fan Changlong and others were present.

All the relatives of the bride were present.

There were more than twenty tables.

He Yuzhu didn't expect Xu Damao to invite the three uncles from Yard 95, although there was no uncle in charge now.

"Da Mao, what were you thinking when you invited Yi Zhonghai and the others to the wedding?"

"Brother Zhuzi, after all, Huo Huo grew up under their care. If they can come, we will receive them. If they give us gifts, we will repay them on the spot. We will treat them as neighbors for so many years and invite them to have a meal in our restaurant. At least let them see that we are living a good life now. It would be a waste of our fine clothes to walk at night. It would be good to let them open their eyes!" Xu Damao made an expression to He Yuzhu: "You know what I mean."

"Well, it has to be you. You are the one who is more arrogant than me. So let's do this. I will take care of arranging everything in the kitchen for you today."

"Xiao'e said that all the restaurant staff will receive a big red envelope today. Please tell them about it. Her son's first wedding can also be regarded as her official debut after returning to Kyoto."

"Oh, thank you Xiao Eke on behalf of all the restaurant staff."

The wedding was a splendid one.

The Yuan family's satisfaction was beyond words.

What made Lou Xiaoe even happier was that after Xu Jun asked Yuan Ya to call him mom, he said, "Mom, you are going to be a grandmother. Yaya is already four months pregnant. You may not have noticed it because she was wearing a wedding dress."

Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao were shocked. Xu Damao then used his ability to see through Yuan Ya's belly. It was indeed a male baby, with limbs and a penis already formed. He didn't dare to say it on the spot. After all, the fact that a father-in-law could see through his daughter-in-law was something he only needed to know, but he didn't dare to say it publicly.

Lou Xiao'e was straightforward. She took off the green-ribbon spring jadeite bracelet she was wearing from her wrist and put it on her wife. "Yaya, Mom didn't know you were pregnant, so I didn't prepare any special gifts for you. I've been wearing this bracelet for ten years. Although it's not the best, it's pretty. Don't dislike it." She put it directly on Yuan Ya's wrist.

Surprise, really a surprise.

That night, Xu Damao chatted with Qi Huan.

"Professor Qi, we are really destined to meet. Your father is really a gourmet, and he is obsessed with delicious food. It was because of food that he got to know me and formed an indissoluble bond with me. Before he left, he entrusted his funeral affairs to me. I never thought that my own son who is far away overseas is actually the student of Mr. Qi."

"Mr. Xu, thank you very much. My father allowed me to go abroad to protect me. Over the past few decades, I was timid and busy, so I didn't dare to come back to see him. Now that I know that my father has passed away, I want to thank you and kowtow to you. I think it's not too much to visit my father's grave in the next few days. Do you think it's convenient for you to arrange time to accompany me once?"

"Professor Qi, no problem, but Master Qi's cemetery is a bit far away. Master Qi arranged for me to be buried in the place where your great grandfather once guarded, so I found a Feng Shui treasure land for Master Qi in Miyun Gubeikou."

"Oh? I'm still a little confused about this."

"Master Qi told me that his grandfather, your great-grandfather, was once the deputy commander of the Sharp Arrow Battalion and guarded Miyun for more than ten years."

"Probably. I really don't know much about my great-grandfather. I only know that my grandfather once inherited the title and was a second-class guard in the palace."

"Professor Qi, I'll arrange for New Year's Eve, so we can go together. The journey is a bit far, so I'll see if I can get a car and go together. By the way, I'll also arrange for my former father-in-law's ashes to be buried that day. I've already made arrangements in Miyun."

"Okay, thank you for your concern, Mr. Xu."
