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

The two brothers were talking excitedly when they heard a woman's voice behind them suddenly saying, "Good on you guys, you're talking bad about Sha Zhu behind his back!"

Xu Damao turned around nervously, and after seeing the person clearly, he said with a look of fear: "It's you, Yu Li. You scared me."

Yu Li looked at him with amusement, then stood on tiptoe and glanced at the table: "What delicious food are you making?"

Xu Dacan also turned around: "Sister, I'm chopping big bones and planning to stew a big pot of pickled cabbage."

Yu Li asked with envy: "Is this the employee welfare provided by your factory? Li Xianying's family in our front yard is also stewing radishes, and the aroma is coming straight into my house through the cracks in the window.

The welfare benefits at the Red Star Factory are still good, unlike Yan Jiecheng’s thermos factory, which doesn’t provide anything, ah…”

Xu Dacan smiled and said to her, "What's the big deal? Call Brother Jie Cheng to come over for dinner. After dinner, you can play cards with my brother and sister-in-law to relieve boredom."

Xu Damao's eyes lit up when he heard this! Throwing eggs is addictive. He feels uncomfortable if he doesn't play for a day.

Yu Li's eyes lit up. Is there such a good thing? Yu Li felt her breathing quicken, and said hurriedly: "Oh, thank you so much."

Yu Li didn't come here just to sneak into other people's kitchens. She came to see Lou Xiao'e for important matters.

As soon as she entered the room, Lou Xiao'e teased her, "You have a very sharp nose. It's a good idea to stay and have dinner with us."

Yu Li smiled and said, "How about you and Dacan, you are a family? He has already invited me."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and put down a picture album, and asked her: "You are a very busy person, and you don't come here for no reason. Tell me, why are you here?"

Yu Li thought of the matter that Yu Haitang had come over specially and entrusted to her, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "That Dacan is 20 this year, right?"

Lou Xiao'e suddenly realized and looked at Yu Li with a joking look on her face: "Why, you want to divorce Yan Jiecheng and remarry her to be my brother's wife? No doubt, I agree with you 100%!"

Yu Li was so angry that she wanted to tear Lou Xiao'e's mouth...

The two of them quarreled for a while before Yu Li explained her purpose: "Well, I have a younger sister named Yu Haitang, who is also 20 years old this year. She works in the same factory as Dacan and is also good-looking. I wanted to help bring them together."

Xu Dacan was in the kitchen just now. Yu Li didn't know how to speak, so she had to go into the house to talk to Lou Xiaoe.

Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao's positions on this matter were surprisingly consistent: "Your sister, that's for sure. As long as both children are willing, Xu Damao and I will definitely agree!"

Yu Li heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Lou Xiao'e was willing.

She returned to the front yard and saw that the house was still empty. She sighed and, ignoring the look from her mother-in-law Yang Ruihua, said to Yan Jiecheng, "Xu Damao is calling us to play cards."

Yan Jiecheng understood immediately and pretended to be addicted to playing cards: "What are you waiting for? Let's go!" He stood up and pulled Yu Li away.

Just as the two were about to leave, they heard Yan Bugui shout, "Wait."

The two of them stopped reluctantly, and Yan Jiecheng was very impatient: "What are you doing, Dad?"

"What? Today, the Red Star Factory distributed employee benefits, including three large ribs and a pork neck with fat as thick as a finger. Well, you two can't wait to go to the backyard to eat meat, leaving your parents at home to eat porridge with pickles. Is that what you mean?"

Yan Jiecheng didn't expect his father to be so difficult to deal with. He could see through all his little tricks.

Yan Jiecheng simply stopped pretending: "Dad, they only called me and Yu Li, I can't take you with me, right?"

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses, which had a broken leg, and put them back on: "This is not right. When you are polite to others, you must ask for something in return. Why should Xu Damao and his friends treat you to meat?"

When Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng were playing witty tactics, people like Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi were watching from the side, with looks of gloating on their faces.

You deserve it, for only taking your wife to Xu Damao's house to eat meat, leaving us at home to eat pickles by the roots. Is that okay now?

Yan Jiecheng was completely impatient this time: "Yu Li has a younger sister who wants to be introduced to Xu Damao's younger brother. Isn't this a good enough reason? Dad, do you have anything else to say? If not, we can leave now. People will be waiting anxiously!"

After saying that, he took Yu Li and left, not caring at all about Yan Bugui's dark face.

Yan Bugui was one step behind today. His original plan was to point out that the reason why Xu Damao invited them to his house to eat meat was because Yan Jiecheng and his wife had been playing that damn game of throwing eggs with Xu Damao during this period of time.

His son and daughter-in-law put in the work, so they should be paid.

Later, let Yan Jiecheng tell Xu Damao that he doesn't want their meat either, but brings back a big bowl of sauerkraut to satisfy his family's cravings. This is not too much to ask, right?

But Yan Jiecheng hit him back with one sentence! Yu Li wanted to marry her sister to the boy named Xu, and this reason was so good that Yan Bugui was speechless...

As a family, you look at me and I look at you, and I become even more worried.

After a while, Yan Bugui said to Yang Ruihua impatiently: "Your daughter-in-law has gone to Xu Damao's house to eat meat. Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and cook!"

Yang Ruihua glared at him angrily, then went to the kitchen in a bad mood.

"..."

In the evening, after Yan Jiecheng and his wife left, Lou Xiao'e asked Xu Dacan, "What do you think of Haitang?"

Xu Dacan shook his head: "She is too literary, I can't stand it."

"Literary youth?" Lou Xiao'e was puzzled.

Xu Dacan coughed and said, "He is just an artistic youth, and he is also arrogant. He has been spoiled by his parents since he was a child."

Lou Xiao'e slapped him on the head with a chestnut and said angrily, "Are you talking about me?"

Xu Damao laughed beside him, and then "bang", he was also hit by a chestnut...

Xu Dacan explained: "How could that be possible, sister-in-law, I just, I just don't like Yu Haitang's personality."

Lou Xiao'e was very curious: "Oh? You have only met her a few times, and you already know her personality?"

Xu Dacan nodded: "She must be the kind of woman who ignores each other when they have a quarrel, doesn't say a word to each other, and even locks the door to prevent men from entering the house!"

Lou Xiao'e thought thoughtfully: "Just because of this?"

Xu Dacan said: "I call this a 'cold war', and this is my bottom line. I will never accept it!"

Lou Xiao'e looked at him in surprise. How old was he, and yet he knew clearly what he wanted?

Lou Xiao'e asked incredulously, "So you have basically chosen Liu Yueru?"

Xu Dacan nodded. Among the limited options, Liu Yueru was the most suitable one at the moment.

In this era, girls generally get married early. Girls in rural areas usually get married when they are just 18 years old, while girls in cities can get married two years later, generally in their early 20s.
