Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

Hearing someone coming, the woman raised her head and looked over here.

She first saw Xu Damao and then Xu Dacan.

Her eyes flashed with disgust at first, and then her face was full of smiles. She shouted from a distance: "Xu Damao, who is this?"

As soon as Xu Damao saw him, he smiled like a flower: "Hey, Sister Qin!" Even the two little mustaches on his mouth trembled with excitement.

As soon as Xu Dacan saw his appearance, he thought of a creature: a licking dog.

But Xu Damao didn't have this awareness: "This is my brother, my second uncle's (shou) child."

What Xu Damao pronounced here is "shou". Those who are familiar with Jingye know that this is the common name in Huairou area.

After that, he introduced Xu Dacan: "Dacan, this is Sister Qin, Qin Huairu; we are from the same factory."

Xu Dacan thought to himself that it was indeed Qin Huairu. Apart from her, who else would wash clothes under the faucet at mealtime every day?

Was she washing clothes? She was just pretending to be nice in front of the neighbors while waiting for Sha Zhu to bring her a lunch box.

Xu Damao's mind was not on Qin Huairu at the moment. After saying hello, he led Xu Dacan straight inside.

As we walked, he introduced: "This is the second courtyard, and it's also the best one. The three rooms in the north are the main houses, where Sha Zhu lives. This Sha Zhu..."

What Xu Damao disliked most was Sha Zhu, who acted stupid all day long and always beat him.

Whenever Xu Damao talks about Sha Zhu, he says something different every three days and three nights!

He obviously knew about this problem, so he held back all those words that were meant to disparage Shazhu, insult Shazhu, curse Shazhu, and complain about Shazhu.

He just said, "I'll tell you about this later. The one on the left is called the ear room, where Shazhu's sister lives; the east wing is where an old man and an old woman live; the west wing is where your sister Qin's family lives. She's a widow, and she has a mother-in-law and three children."

As they talked, the two came to the northeast corner. Xu Damao pushed his bicycle and said, "Go past this corridor and you will see the third courtyard, which is also your brother's house."

"In theory, this courtyard should be called a four-courtyard courtyard. It was changed from a three-courtyard courtyard. Do you see this row of houses? They were built later, and they forcibly separated the courtyard into another courtyard."

Xu Damao pointed to the row of houses at the back and said, "The second uncle lives in the east, and he has three sons. The third uncle at the door has even more children, four in total."

Then he pointed to the other houses in the row and said, "These houses are also occupied by several families, such as Mrs. Yang, the old Qi family, and Liu Gen. They are not important."

Xu Dacan complained in his heart: It’s not important, why did you explain it so clearly?

From the third courtyard, one also has to go through the corridor to enter the fourth courtyard.

As soon as he came in, Xu Damao was very proud: "See, this is your brother's house. It has three rooms just like the main house.

Let me tell you, in the past only royal palaces could build five main rooms, while ordinary families only needed three rooms at most.

The two rooms in the middle are living rooms, and your sister-in-law and I live in the one on the east. I, Xu Damao, will never lose to anyone in my life!"

Xu Dacan was amused by him. He was not inferior to others. In the past, the house he lived in was for the daughters of wealthy families.

If it was a powerful family, they would directly build a building called the back building. But this courtyard didn't have one.

As they were talking, they arrived at the door.

Xu Damao parked his bicycle and pointed at the side room, saying, "Don't go to that room if you have nothing to do. The person living there is a five-guarantee household in our yard. The people in the front and middle yards worship her as their ancestor."

The words were on his lips, how could Xu Dacan not pass on the words: "What about you, brother?"

Xu Damao sneered: "Am I such a fool? Whoever wants to recognize her as their ancestor can do so. We in the Xu family have our own ancestors!"

This is a very frank statement!

As the two were talking, the door curtain was lifted.

In the north, door curtains are not only used in winter, most families hang them all year round.

Hang thin ones in spring and summer and thick ones in autumn and winter.

The door curtain was lifted, and a person came out. Xu Dacan subconsciously took a look.

Their eyes met, and they were both stunned for a moment.

Xu Dacan was stunned because this woman was so beautiful, far beyond his expectations!

At this time and in this place, the woman who came out of Xu Damao's house was, needless to say, Lou Xiao'e!

But the silly creatures in TV dramas don’t look that interesting.

More importantly, she doesn’t have the temperament of a lady from a noble family.

Temperament is something that is difficult to describe. It cannot be seen or touched, but it does exist.

Lou Xiao'e has a classical temperament as light as a chrysanthemum, and there is a sense of sadness between her brows, which makes her look even more charming.

Once you have seen her, it is hard to forget her sadness.

She was a lady from a wealthy family, but for various reasons, she had to give herself to a guy like Xu Damao.

The unhappiness in her marriage and the unsatisfactory life really made it difficult for her to be happy.

Lou Xiao'e had short hair that was very popular in that era. She wore a blue and red plaid shirt, a pair of overalls, and the same cloth shoes as everyone else.

It adds a touch of bright color to this "blue-green ocean" world without looking out of place.

Before Lou Xiao'e could speak, Xu Damao spoke up: "This is my wife, your sister-in-law."

Xu Dacan quickly called out, "Hello, sister-in-law. My name is Xu Dacan."

Xu Damao, Xu Dacan? Really...

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Dacan in surprise and quickly invited him into the house: "I didn't know that Xu Damao had such a handsome brother. Come in quickly."

As soon as Xu Damao entered the room, he sat down on a stool and asked Lou Xiao'e, "What were you planning to do just now?"

Lou Xiao'e glared at him unhappily and said in a low voice, somewhat embarrassedly, "Go to the toilet."

There was a detail that Xu Damao didn’t mention just now, which is where are the kitchen and toilet in the courtyard?

The answer lies in the east and west courtyards as you enter the house. The east courtyard is the kitchen, the west courtyard is the toilet, and the five study rooms on the back are the reception room.

But what kind of house is this? In the past, it was a palace of a prince, or a house of a prince or a prince.

In addition to the first courtyard, there is usually a cross courtyard built in the third courtyard, which is a garden for young ladies to play.

But unfortunately, this courtyard does not have these things, so no matter whether it is Qin Huairu or Lou Xiaoe, no matter how beautiful they are, they have to go to the public toilet in the alley.

Xu Damao unbuttoned the second button below his collar and took out a few dollars: "By the way, go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy a bottle of wine and a piece of meat. In addition, you can also order some of the various dishes. Get rid of the dumplings and have noodles. Today is Dacan's first day at our house, so we must eat noodles with gravy!"
