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

After a few confused exchanges with the instructor, Xu Dacan's fight ended just like that.

Xu Dacan later heard that the man he beat was jumping up and down and complaining everywhere.

But someone warned him: "You are already 25 or 26 years old, why are you still as immature as a child? Adults should be responsible for their own actions. You can bully others, but you can't be bullied by others, right? That's enough!"

Then this person became quiet, and from then on, whenever he saw people from Xu Dacan's dormitory, he would take a detour...

Xu Dacan guessed that it might be the instructor who wanted to fight him with swords that day who secretly dealt with him.

The army despises people like him who go around complaining after losing a fight the most!

"..."

More than half a month passed peacefully like this, and one morning someone suddenly came to inform Xu Dacan that his family members were coming to visit.

The word "visit" is well used, it gives me the feeling of being in jail!

When he arrived at the school gate, Xu Dacan realized that it was Damao who came.

After explaining the situation to the security guard, Xu Damao registered and was asked if he needed accommodation.

After receiving a negative answer, Damao got a meal ticket and was able to enter the campus.

As the two walked along the tree-lined path, Xu Damao flicked the meal ticket in his hand and sighed, "It's worthy of being a university. They even provide food and accommodation for family members who come."

Xu Dacan looked at him with amusement: "You will understand when you come to our cafeteria later. The food there is far worse than what my sister-in-law cooks."

When the two of them entered the dormitory, there was no one else in the room. Those guys had all gone to class.

In this era, there is no such thing as "you can choose to skip compulsory courses, but you must skip elective courses" in college. Dare to skip classes? Your legs will be broken!

Xu Damao didn't bring anything else this time. After he followed Xu Dacan into the house and sat down, he took out four packs of cigarettes from his bag: "I've found out everything. What do you college students need the most? Food and fodder!"

He put the cigarette next to the pillow, took the hot water that Xu Dacan poured for him, and said, "How about it, am I a good brother? I guarantee you have never seen this cigarette!"

As soon as Xu Dacan saw the classic red and white color combination on the cigarette box, he recognized it: Hongtashan!

Xu Damao was very proud: "This cigarette has just been launched here recently, you have no idea how popular it is!"

How could it not be popular? Until the late 1980s and early 1990s, Hongtashan's status in Beijing was second only to Zhonghua.

If we have to rank them, it would probably be Greater China - Hongta Mountain - Yuxi - Red Mountain Tea - Daqianmen - Badaling - Xiangshan - Shilin - Fenghuangpo.

Spring City - Peony - Magnolia - Platinum Dragon, and finally Ashima...

Xu Dacan picked up a Hongtashan cigarette, put it under his nose and smelled it gently, his eyes full of memories.

He has forgotten many things, but forgetting does not mean deleting them. They are just temporarily sealed away, sealed in the deepest part of our memory.

Maybe it will take a year, maybe ten years, but one day, as long as the conditions for awakening them are met, they will appear in your mind at the first moment.

For example, at this moment, Xu Dacan recalled the scene of picking up cigarette butts and fanning himself with them on the street when he was in school.

The so-called "paji" is to fold cigarette butts into triangles, or more often into squares, and then fan them on the ground.

"..."

Xu Damao explained to Dacan: "This cigarette is out of stock right now. I bought these two packs from that kid Naxun. Do you know what the current market price is?"

Xu Dacan's attention was not on the market price. He frowned and said, "Brother, why are you still associating with Naxun?"

Xu Damao waved his hand nonchalantly: "This kind of person is so useful. He can do things for me for a little money."

Xu Dacan then remembered that it was Xu Damao who promoted Naxun. You know what, his brother is quite good at judging people...

As for the price, Xu Dacan was a little disapproving. No matter how expensive it was, could it be more expensive than when it was sold for 10 yuan a box in the early s?

Xu Damao pointed a number mysteriously: "One dollar and two cents!"

This time Xu Dacan finally took a deep breath. Wow, it’s 1978 now, and they dare to sell it for 1 yuan! Is there no law?

Xu Damao's delivery of cigarettes was just a cover. Sure enough, he couldn't wait to reveal a big secret to Xu Dacan: "Qin Jingru! She and Yan Jiecheng are divorced!"

Xu Dacan saw his brother's eyes narrowed, his mustache almost stretched to the back of his head. This gloating look was so ugly and cute...

At the same time, I was also quite shocked. Qin Jingru actually divorced Yan Jiecheng? Strange, why did he add "also"?

Xu Dacan asked, "What happened to you, brother? Where did Qin Jingru go?"

This time Xu Damao was so happy that he slapped his thigh and said, "Where else can she go? I tell you, Qin Jingru has moved directly to Jia Zhang's place!"

Xu Dacan found it incredible: "No way? With Qin Huairu's character, how could she be allowed to live here?"

"Of course! The two sisters started fighting right away, pulling each other's hair and tearing each other's clothes. I tell you, it was really fun!"

Xu Damao was still not satisfied: "How can an old woman like Qin Huairu be a match for the young and strong Qin Jingru? She wanted to throw Qin Jingru's bedding out, but failed. Instead, Qin Jingru and Jia Zhang worked together to throw her bedding out!"

What the hell is going on?! Qin Huairu not only failed to send Jia Zhang back home, but Jia Zhang and Qin Jingru kicked her out of the two western wing rooms?

Xu Damao was talking excitedly: "Brother, you didn't see this good show, hahaha! Let me tell you, Qin Huairu is now living in the small house they built. Jia Zhang lives in the big house with her two granddaughters, Xiaodang and Huaihua."

Xu Dacan grasped the key point: "Brother, wait a minute, where is Qin Jingru?"

Xu Damao almost laughed himself into a choke: "Qin Jingru, Qin..."

He finally caught his breath and said to Xu Dacan, "Qin Jingru went straight to live in Sha Zhu's room!"

Just when Xu Dacan opened his mouth wide, Xu Damao gasped and said, "Don't get me wrong, she lives in the ear room that was originally owned by He Yushui, and she rents Sha Zhu's house. But anyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on! Qin Jingru and Sha Zhu, they are very close!"

Xu Dacan thought to himself, wow, after the two brothers’ repeated transformation, Sha Zhu finally changed his fate of having to marry Qin Huairu and now sleeps in the same bed with Qin Jingru?

And this Yan Jiecheng, isn't he too miserable? His two previous wives, one was married to Xu Damao, and the other was married to Sha Zhu.

Shouldn't Xu Damao and Sha Zhu also kneel down and sing to Yan Jiecheng: "Always asking for things from you but never saying thank you..."
