As you wish, start from the Siheyuan

"This bean juice from Old Kyoto is still authentic. The more you drink it, the more delicious it becomes. And these fried dough sticks are delicious. Auntie, another bowl of wontons, tsk…!"

I was eating breakfast at a street stall next to Houhai Park. It was so delicious!

"Fang Fa, humph! You're eating without waiting for me? Boss, give me a bowl of wontons, with more coriander."

I looked at Li Dongmei who was sitting opposite me with a smile, knowing that she was not really angry.

"Here, open your mouth and eat a piece of beef."

"Hmm..., delicious. Where's the beef?"

"I brought it specially for you from abroad, do you believe it?"

"Well... I don't believe you. You are getting better and better at bragging. Last time you said you would find a foreign designer for me. Isn't that just an engagement? Why didn't you say you would pick me up in a car when we get married?"

After saying this, Li Dongmei rolled her eyes at me.

"We have a car! We also have a small Western-style house. If you don't believe me, ask our dad. But it's okay to live here occasionally. We can move there after a few years. These days, we poor people are the boss."

"Ah? How did you do that?"

Li Dongmei didn't even bother to eat, she just stared with wide eyes looking confused.

"I once went out and saved a foreigner by the Liang River. It was a heroic act! Don't disbelieve me, the police station kept a record of it. Later, he was in a hurry to return to his country, so he left his house and car to me. I gave him money, 5,000 yuan, and I send him money every year.

However, the house is mine to use during the period when the house price is paid off, and it will be mine after the house price is paid off. The foreign affairs and land-related departments have also registered it.”

I told her about the foreigners who were anxious to leave and the things they couldn't handle.

"Actually, he wanted to give it to me, but I didn't dare to accept it! What if I have some complicated relationship with him? It's better to pay according to the market price, so that everyone can save worry."

I didn't tell him that I had deliberately registered the matter with the foreign affairs and land departments. I was worried that people would be jealous if I transferred the ownership directly. Also, the house will still be nominally owned by a foreigner during the period when I am repaying the loan, so there won't be any problems.

The foreigners are of course my subordinates, and the money was borrowed from a foreign bank, so there is no need to worry about any problems. Our transaction is normal, reasonable and legal. If there is no trouble, it's fine. If there is trouble, it's easy to deal with, otherwise it will be a foreign-related dispute.

"After eating, come on, go boating with me."

Li Dongmei pulled me to the shore and told me,

"When I was a kid, I often came here to go boating. At that time, my father and mother liked to bring me here to play, but later only my mother could come alone, so we rarely took the boat and could only walk along the shore. The candied haws here are especially sweet and sour, and I didn't feel sick at all!"

“Is your father busy?”

"Yes, he started out working in the office when he was young, and didn't have much to do. Later, he became a section chief, director, and deputy factory director. His position got higher and higher, and my pocket money got more and more, but he came home later and later, and it seemed that the distance between us was getting farther and farther. Um... wuwu... Fang Fa, I want to eat candied haws."

Looking at Li Dongmei who was crying and the surprised look of the stranger next to her, why do I feel a little embarrassed?

I helped her walk quickly to the shop selling candied haws, and I paid for one.

"Here, why are you still like a child, crying when I say I won't give you candy! Haha...!"

I said that and ran away.

"Ah...! Fang Fa, stop right there...!"

Happy times always pass quickly, so quickly that people often use the function key of "recall" to overcome repeated forgetfulness.

When I returned to the courtyard, I saw Xu Damao packing up his bicycle. It must be said that Xu Damao was a cunning man, but he was also very meticulous. No matter how well someone else's bicycle was protected, it would look old after a year or two.

But Xu Damao's car still looked very new. At this moment, he was carefully scrubbing it with the oil used to maintain the projector, leaving almost no place untouched. Even the tiny gears and some gaps were carefully cleaned with a brush.

"Tsk! ..., so shiny! Brother Mao's craftsmanship is pretty good!"

I also did not hesitate to praise Xu Damao, who still had some advantages.

Recently, Xu Damao has resumed his job as a projectionist and his salary has increased. He also took the initiative to find Qin Jingru's family in the countryside and gave them a betrothal gift of 20 yuan. In addition, so much time had passed since the incident, so Qin Jingru's family happily agreed to their marriage.

But they had been married for three or four months, and there was no movement in Qin Jingru's belly. Qin Jingru didn't feel anything. She ate and drank as usual and was quite happy every day.

But Xu Damao couldn't do that. Seeing Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu being so affectionate and happy with each other all day long, Xu Damao saw it all and felt anxious.

Although none of the children were Sha Zhu's own, there were too many of them! What was even more hateful was that Qin Jingru said that her cousin might have her IUD removed because she saw hope for the future.

It turns out that they don't want a child, not that they can't have one! Xu Damao was so angry that he felt stuffy when he saw Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu's family.

No wonder the bicycle is maintained so well, just treat it like a child, alas!

"Haha...! Section Chief Fang is back. My family is just preparing to cook fish. Shall I bring it to you later?"

When Xu Damao saw my flattering expression, I seemed to see again the scene of him kneeling down and begging me to save him on that rainy night, and that emerald green bracelet.

"Brother Mao, stop yelling. I'm just an assistant professor. There's no need to be so troublesome. As usual, I'll just go to your room and have a bite."

I don't want to eat alone at home. Besides, Xu Damao is a big eater. I can have fun eating at his house without having to clean up or anything.

"Um..., um... Chief Fang, has the medicine arrived? Last time you asked someone to buy me some more...?"

Xu Damao whispered in a low voice, his face full of anticipation.

"Oh, that. I bought it. As soon as I bought it, I brought it to you! It's packed."

As I said that, I pretended to take out two boxes of medicine from my pocket. The pictures on the boxes were a bit eye-catching, and they were obviously imported products. I secretly stuffed them into his hands.

"I'll get the money and send it to you later,...!"

I saw Xu Damao took it carefully with trembling hands, with an excited heart, and looked around twice, just like he was making a connection, which made me turn around and walk away tiptoe.

I was wondering why I signed for another small pill today. Turns out it was waiting here. But there's no rush. Let him use Wei Ge to deal with it for a few days.

As for using Xiao Huan Dan to cure his incurable disease? It's such a big deal, so it's better to take a long-term view! Besides, the amount of wish power that should be given is not less at all, hehe... hehe...

"Knock knock... Chief Fang, are you home?"

As soon as I returned to the room, I heard He Yuzhu knocking on the door again.

"Director He, please come in, take a seat, and have some tea. Director He, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

I asked He Yuzhu to come into the house and sit down, poured him a glass of boiled water, and picked some good tea.
