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

Lou Xiao'e didn't take his money, but said to Xu Dacan: "Brother, please sit down. You are not strangers, so I won't greet you."

"..."

After Lou Xiao'e left, Xu Damao made some tea with a thermos, then went to the kitchen and grabbed some local specialties that his fellow villagers had given him when he went to the Red Star Commune to show movies for people, and asked Xu Dacan to eat it first.

Xu Dacan did not forget his business. He took the canvas bag and took out a roll of yellow silk from it.

Xu Damao's eyes widened. What kind of treasure deserves this color?

Xu Dacan gently opened the yellow silk, revealing a long rectangular box inside.

"What is this?" Xu Damao felt like a cat was scratching his heart.

Xu Dacan opened the snap of the box, and a ginseng that was perfect in both roots and appearance appeared in front of the two of them.

What should we look at when we look at ginseng? First, we look at the whiskers, stems, skin, grain, and body; then we look at its agility, stupidity, age, tenderness, horizontality, and smoothness.

The ginseng in the box can be called perfect in every aspect.

Even if Xu Damao doesn't know the value of things, he still knows ginseng!

The guy was so nervous that he was swallowing his saliva: "Brother, what does this mean?"

Xu Dacan closed the box and pushed it in front of him: "A real wild ginseng."

For ginseng, a short year is 10 years, and a long year is years. One long year is years, and five short years is years.

Xu Damao was just like Tang Seng seeing the ginseng fruit: "Take it away, take it away! Aren't you slapping me in the face?"

This is the truth. You can say Xu Damao is evil, treacherous, and vindictive, but you can't say he is stingy...

Not only is he not stingy, he is also quite generous to his own people.

In the TV series, after the reform and opening up, Qin Jingru's family had a split. She and her brothers and sisters were unwilling to take care of their parents, so they decided to build a small house for the old couple.

At that time, she and Xu Damao had already divorced. Although they had been living together, they had not remarried. Qin Jingru asked Xu Damao to borrow 5000 yuan, and Xu Damao gave it to her without saying a word.

Qin Jingru became more and more greedy and asked Xu Damao to give her another 3000 yuan to add another floor to the building. Xu Damao also took the money.

"..."

This ginseng was obtained by Xu Dacan's cheap father Xu Hang by chance a few years ago.

He originally wanted to use this ginseng to run Xu Dacan's business and arrange him to work in the forest farm, and not do anything else but learn to drive from him.

Not only is it not tiring, but you can also earn more money. There is also a subsidy for each trip...

But plans cannot keep up with changes. Xu Dacan came to Jingye's house. Before leaving, Xu Hang took out the old ginseng.

Seeing that Damao was overreacting, Xu Dacan quickly held him down and explained, "Brother! Don't be so quick to refuse. Listen to me."

Xu Damao looked a little embarrassed, his face darkened, and he stared at him: "Speak!"

Xu Dacan pointed at the box and said, "I'm giving you this for three reasons. First, there's a saying that if you don't visit for three years, even relatives won't be close. Our two families haven't been in touch for so many years, and we only exchange letters. But when something good happens, you still think of me first. What does this mean?"

Xu Damao laughed. This boy is quite eloquent. Listen to what he said.

What does it mean? We are one family and we don’t have different opinions!

Xu Damao tapped the table with his finger: "You have established this reason, what else?"

Xu Dacan was confident: "The second one has to do with you helping me find this job. As the saying goes, one job for one person. How can it be so easy to find a job these days? In our forest farm, a lumberjack position still requires private payment, not to mention a big factory like Red Star Factory?"

These words really touched Xu Damao's heart.

It doesn't matter if it's hard work, I just worry about working in vain.

Xu Damao crossed his legs proudly, and the two small mustaches on his mouth also curled up: "I like to hear that. Dacan, I tell you the truth, if my second brother had not loved me since I was a child, and if our two families had not had a good relationship, I really would not want to get involved in this mess.

Do you know how much effort I put into running around, making connections, and owing favors to people? "

To be honest, Xu Dacan still doesn't understand what his cousin likes about him.

Why did I suddenly think of helping him find a job? It couldn't be that I was learning from Lei Feng and doing good deeds!

Following his words, Xu Dacan quickly gave the third reason: "So, I have to respect my brother even more. But, I have a deeper meaning."

Xu Damao became interested: "Oh? Tell me about it."

Xu Dacan pushed the box back to Damao and said, "I want you to give this to my sister-in-law."

Xu Damao was stunned when he heard this: "Why send her?"

Xu Dacan sighed: "Brother, you are confused, of course it is not for her. My sister-in-law is so young, how can she use ginseng? Of course, I am using her to honor my uncle and aunt!"

Xu Damao pretended to be dumbfounded: "What is this for?"

Xu Dacan almost rolled his eyes to the back of his head: "Brother, you are pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth. This is my third reason!

Of course, I want my sister-in-law's family to help you for the sake of this ginseng!

Don’t you want to make progress?”

Xu Damao opened his mouth wide and his mind went blank for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and almost blurted out: I want to make progress so much!

These three reasons made Xu Damao look at him with some respect.

If he remembered correctly, this kid is only 18 this year, right?

In fact, Xu Dacan is not yet 18. He was born in 47 and just graduated from high school in June this year.

He was originally waiting at home for Xu Hang to give him some work, but after receiving Xu Damao's letter, he discussed with his family before deciding to let him come over to take a look.

The implication is that if it works out, stay; if it doesn't, come back; don't bother to look at other people's faces.

Xu Damao had a preconceived notion that these words were taught by his second uncle.

All the relatives knew that he married the daughter of a big capitalist and that the family was making a lot of money!

However, Xu Damao's in-laws did not think highly of him and only arranged a job for him as a film projectionist at the Red Star Factory. He was not even considered a cadre.

As the saying goes, good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. I didn’t expect that it had spread to Harbin…

Xu Damao rubbed his nose somewhat unconfidently and said in a muffled voice, "How come my second uncle told you all this?"

After a while, as soon as Lou Xiao'e entered the room, he held up the box like a treasure and said, "Wife, look what this is?"

Xu Damao didn't know the value of the goods, but Lou Xiao'e did. She was surprised and said, "Is this a fir tree?!"

Xu Dacan chimed in, "Sister-in-law, you have a good eye. This is indeed fir, but it's not a good material. It's made from leftover scraps."
