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

Speaking of this, Xu Damao looked puzzled: "Brother, why are you dealing with so many medicinal herbs?"

Xu Dacan said confidently: "Sell it for money!"

Xu Damao couldn't be in a hurry to ask him: "Are you short of money?"

Xu Dacan patiently explained to him: "It's not all about money. Brother, think about where this prescription came from?"

Damao knows too much! Astragalus, that old Astragalus!

Xu Dacan sold the astragalus to Xu Jiang, solving his urgent problem. Then, as a thank you, he introduced him to Dr. Liu and got this prescription.

Xu Damao was smart and he figured out the whole thing in an instant, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, he brought the topic back to Liu Yueru: "Hey, Dacan, tell me, are you interested in Dr. Liu's daughter?"

"..."

Dr. Liu also questioned his daughter with the same question.

Liu Yueru giggled and gasped: "Dad, are you too sensitive? We have only met once."

Doctor Liu couldn't be more anxious than her: "No, you can't get too close to him, this guy is not a good person!"

Liu Yueru found it funny, but she deliberately argued with him: "Dad! How can he not be a good person? You must have asked his brother when you were seeing the doctor. So think about it, has he done anything out of line?"

Liu Huangbai was speechless for a moment. This kid really didn't...

But he just couldn't stand that boy, tall, handsome, and well-mannered. He was too aggressive towards women, especially young women like Yueru! Who knows, he might have a lot of tricks up his sleeve!

But even Xu Jiang could see that this kid was still a rookie, let alone this "master".

To find fault with Xu Dacan in this regard is like telling lies with open eyes.

Liu Huangbai was anxious: "It is difficult to draw the bones of a tiger even if you can only draw its skin. You can know a person's face but not his heart!"

Unexpectedly, Liu Yueru also responded to her old father with a sentence: "A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength; time reveals a person's true character."

Liu Huangbai was so angry that he looked around; the cup on the table, this is not good, this is the one he asked someone to buy from Hai Dafu's family when he got married! A glass kettle with a red lid and a red double happiness cup, this thing is like his life, he can't smash it...

The thermos on the chest of drawers? The outer shell is bright red and green, with two ducks painted on it, and she is wearing cotton pants under her cheongsam. How ugly! But on second thought, there is boiling water inside, and if the inner shell of the thermos is broken, there will be broken glass all over the floor, and my daughter might get stabbed. Oh, I can't smash it either...

That desk lamp? No, no, my daughter is using it to read, I can’t smash it.

That mirror, that won’t do. It’s a round mirror with an iron rim, a luxury item, and it can’t be smashed!

Iron edge round mirror

It's surprising, right? Only well-off families could afford this kind of mirror produced in the 1970s.

When Yueru's mother was still alive, she used this mirror to comb her hair and dress herself up every day. To prevent her daughter from getting beaten for being naughty, she would take it away and put it where Yueru couldn't reach it before going to work every day.

Later, when the daughter grew taller and older, she would always take the mirror down quietly by stepping on a small stool when her mother wasn't paying attention, and imitate her mother, pretending to comb her hair, draw eyebrows, and apply rouge with her fingers...

At that time, Liu Huangbai was helping his daughter keep watch. When he heard his wife come back, he coughed loudly. Yueru quickly put the mirror back to its original place.

Then the father and daughter would cover their mouths and laugh secretly with tacit understanding and satisfaction.

Nowadays, there are not many things like this in the home. Although it is just a mirror, it carries a lot of things. One side is warm memories, and the other side is cold reality.

"..."

Liu Yueru originally wanted to tease her old father again. There was really nothing between her and that guy named Xu Dacan! Why was she so nervous? Really.

Seeing that he was angry but couldn't take it out on her, and wanted to do something to cause trouble, but was hesitant about this and that, she was so moved that she almost cried.

Especially when her father held the mirror and gently stroked it with his fingers, Liu Yueru knew that he was missing her mother again.

She could only sigh softly, holding Liu Huangbai's arm and shaking...

Just like when I was a kid, I said, "Dad, please don't be angry."

Looking at the face that was quite similar to his deceased wife, Liu Huangbai also felt dazed.

Alas, a 18-year-old girl will have to get married sooner or later. As the saying goes, a girl should not be kept when she grows up, otherwise she will become an enemy.

Liu Huangbai reached out and patted his daughter's head gently, a little melancholy: "Forget it, if Xu Dacan really has a clean family background, is clean and has no bad habits, then you can..."

Before she could finish her words, Liu Yueru interrupted her forcefully: "That's enough! Comrade Liu Huangbai, I have tolerated you for a long time! And that old Xu, what do you two want to do? Are you worried that I won't be able to get married? You are forcing me to marry someone who has nothing to do with me!"

This girl, when she is gentle, is a flower of eloquence; when she gets angry, she is a dead end. She has changed her name to comrade, is she going to quit...

Fortunately, there was no one smoking, drinking, or having their hair permed nearby who ordered her to return the jacket to him!

Having achieved his goal, Liu Huangbai's depression disappeared. He held his head high, hummed a little tune, left his daughter's room, and happily went to the kitchen to cook.

"..."

When Xu Dacan and his brother returned to the courtyard, Damao really grabbed the fattest hen from the chicken coop and started sharpening his knife.

At this time, everyone killed the chicken by themselves. Damao asked Xu Dacan: "Brother, have you ever killed a chicken?"

Xu Dacan was worried. In his previous life, he couldn't even kill a chicken. Even the fish he caught had to wait for his wife to kill them. He would just eat them...

When a large pot of water boiled, Damao put a kitchen knife into Xu Dacan's hand. He grabbed two chicken wings and said to him, "Come on, be quick and give it a good beating!"

Xu Dacan held the knife in his hand, constantly trying to give himself courage, and moved the knife back and forth on the hen's neck.

The frightened chicken twisted its neck violently and struggled with all its might, trying to escape from the two guys.

Seeing that he kept gesturing but couldn't make any progress, Xu Damao became anxious: "What are you dithering about? Can you do it or not? If not, let me do it!"

"You come!" Xu Dacan handed him the kitchen knife without hesitation.

This time it was Xu Dacan's turn to grab the chicken's wings, while Damao held the knife with both hands and gestured at the chicken's neck.

Xu Dacan couldn't help but complain: "No, brother, have you and my sister-in-law ever killed a chicken, a duck, or a goose?"

Xu Damao finally told the truth: "I have never done this before. I always ask Sha Zhu to help me..."

This guy accidentally told the truth!

At that time, unlike later times, the chickens and ducks sold in supermarkets were all processed. Now, they are all alive, and state-owned vegetable markets do not provide slaughtering services.

Therefore, killing chickens became a necessary skill for gentlemen at that time.
