Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

Wuyi Mountain, Huxiao Rock, the autumn scenery is breathtakingly beautiful.

This time, Xu Damao and his friends had a secret weapon for their outdoor adventure: a portable rainproof tent launched by Linglong Company, which was very convenient for traveling. This time, they bought a Toyota Land Cruiser in Xiamen and drove here by themselves.

After visiting Yunv Peak, Dawang Peak, and Tianyou Peak, Xu Damao and his two companions finally decided to set up their tents at Huxiao Rock. They had already been in the mountains for a week.

In order to help Gu Meifang successfully break through this time, Xu Damao did a lot of preparation and brought a large number of Qi-replenishing pills with him.

Gu Meifang already had some feeling, and her daily routine was to practice luck and practice Taiyi Five Elements Fist. Xu Damao, as an auxiliary practitioner, also took on the logistics work.

With the ability to fly through the air, he could go in and out of the mountains as if there were no one in the world. It was not that he could not get food in the mountains, but Xu Damao took into account the restrictions of the animal and plant protection regulations and chose to go out of the mountains and purchase enough food to bring into the mountains.

Hard work pays off. On the morning of the 23rd day after entering Wuyi Mountain, Gu Meifang completed her Qigong and her body was illuminated by the first ray of sunlight. When she repeatedly practiced Taiyi Five Elements Fist, she suddenly felt a surge in her lower Dantian and a powerful burst of internal force. Xu Damao, who was beside her, felt the changes in Gu Meifang's body and asked him to sit cross-legged and cooperate with Gu Meifang, with four hands against each other, to help Gu Meifang and practice the Great Zhoutian Qigong together. Yin and Yang complement each other, and the Five Elements complement each other. Finally, it came to fruition and she naturally broke through to the Xiantian realm.

Gu Meifang could not help but let out a long roar, the echo of which resounded far into the valley. After several hours of solid practice, by noon, Gu Meifang was completely reborn, and her whole body exuded a state of returning to nature.

"Boss, it's done. Thank you, thank you."

Fang Xiaoru was also sincerely happy for Gu Meifang.

"Sister Fang, yes, I'll go with you to take a bath in the mountain stream. Damao, you stew meat and make tea for us. We'll come over and enjoy it later."

The three of them stayed in the mountains for another night, fully enjoying the beauty of the late autumn night of Wuyi Mountain. The next day, when the sun was shining all over the corners of Wuyi Mountain, they packed up their luggage. They went down the mountain, bought about 100 kilograms of Wuyi rock tea and cinnamon tea, loaded them into the car and left. They also traveled in Fuzhou for a few days. It was already early December when they returned to Xiamen Overseas Chinese New Village.

"Shuying, have Hanhan and the others left?"

"That's nonsense. You three are really something. They have already returned to Kyoto after being away for more than a month. However, Dad, Mom, Aunt Fang, there is good news. Sister Hanhan seems to have a chance this time. Huang went to Kyoto with Sister Hanhan and the others, and is going to produce his company's clothing in Sister Hanhan's factory. The cooperation between the two powerful forces is not about the wine, but the mountains and rivers."

"Oh, Shuying, you can still be so eloquent. Just let everything happen naturally. Your parents have a laissez-faire approach to you. You are all grown up now, and you decide all your future plans by yourselves. As people over 50, we should also start to enjoy our own lives."

The three of them stayed in Xiamen for a few more nights before Fang Shuying saw them off at the airport, carrying a bunch of Fujian specialties, including dried longan, tea, dried sea fish, and preserved bamboo shoots.

This trip was worth it.

Deliver tea specialties to every household.

"Master, this is Fujian rock tea and dried bamboo shoots."

"Teacher Pu, this is rock tea..."

"Mr. Fang, I brought you some Fujian specialties. I'm going to Xiamen to visit Shuying."

"Dad, Mom, I brought you some dried fish and longan from the south..."

"Second brother, I brought some rock tea for you." Two years ago, the shopkeeper of Rumao Baozhai was replaced by his second brother Kong Xizheng, who retired from the Xicheng Cultural Center. Pu Yulin returned home to take care of his grandchildren and enjoy his old age.

"Da Mao, why are you so polite? You are supporting Teacher Pu in his old age, and now I am eating and drinking for free here, and you are bringing me good things. I feel unworthy of them."

"Brother, look at what you said. If it weren't for Senior Sister Liu being so reluctant to leave the kids at home, I would have called you all over so that you two could chat and drink tea here together. Forget about Da Hong Pao. Rock tea and cinnamon tea are collected from farmers in Longyan. The quality is quite good. Brother, you also know that in the antique business, if you don't open for three years, you can make a living for three years after opening. You can just stay here and close the shop if you have something to do. If you don't have anything to do, drink tea here. The main thing is to collect goods. In March, the first auction company in Kyoto, China Guardian, was established. Didn't you go to the auction in March? It is said that the auction was over 14 million. What does this prove? The spring of the antique business is coming. Don't worry, although our store is small, it will definitely make money in the future. With you here, you can collect all the good stuff. In another ten years, the value will more than double."

Kong Xizheng certainly knew that the antique market was now active, and he really didn't have much spare money to buy antiques. The teacher Pu Yulin returned home early from Rumao Baozhai, in fact, to make room for this disciple and make his life easier. After all, a monthly salary of 3000 is the ceiling of salary income nowadays, and people only get or a month in a regular job. Of course, he knew in his heart that his master and junior apprentice were taking care of him.

Xu Damao and Kong Xizheng chatted for a long time, had lunch together, and then drove to Haidian.

He had to know the whereabouts of his daughter Xu Zhiquan. It was one thing to care about it or not, and it was another to investigate.

Well, I missed the chance to chat with my daughter and Huang Haizhou in Xiamen, and I didn’t find any trace of them in Shangcun Town either.

Dandan didn't say anything, so Chen Zhiyu finally revealed the truth.

"Uncle Xu, don't worry. My eldest sister must have succeeded this time. She and that classmate went to Shanghai last week. They agreed to set up a clothing factory together in Shanghai and buy a storefront in Shanghai to open a specialty store. Look, she got a bank draft from the finance department and flew away. Is my mother okay?"

"It's fine, Xiaoyu. You're responsible for three families at once. Can you handle the work?"

"It's okay. My eldest sister bought me a scooter, so it's very convenient to go back and forth. My mother-in-law is taking care of the children at home, so I don't have to worry. By the way, the water plant's sales have increased significantly this year. My dad and others asked you to come to our house for a drink when you are free."

"Really? That's good. Your father-in-law was worried back then, but now he knows the benefits of doing business. We can't stop even if we ask them to."

"Yes, we work around the clock, but after November, the factory will be free, so I'm inviting you to drink and eat meat."

"Okay, I'll go there when I have time."

As soon as he arrived in Haidian, Xu Damao thought of the Xu family in Huangzhuang again. Alas... I don't know how that "biological father" is doing now, and whether his wish to give birth to a boy has been fulfilled.

Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. It’s better to just focus on treating the “biological mother” who lives at home well.

Don't say Xu Damao doesn't miss him. In fact, life is really hard for his "real father".

After Xu Yunyi divorced Ye Lin, he got married very quickly. The next year, he got pregnant. He found out through his connections that it was a girl, so he persuaded his wife to have an abortion and then get pregnant again. The second child was also a girl, but this time the woman firmly disagreed with the abortion. So, last year, the three brothers Xu Yunfei, Xu Yunxiang, and Xu Yunyi had a dispute over the family property, and the old man Xu Guanwen was angered to death. With the old man gone, less than half a year later, the old woman also died. The brothers turned against each other and the family was broken up.

Xu Damao learned these things from Ye Lin. When the old lady Xie Yumei passed away, Ye Lin went to attend the memorial service. After all, Ye Yunyi was also a descendant of the Xu family. The old lady was also good to Ye Lin when she was alive, so she just regarded it as a final farewell. It was human nature.
