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

Several people came to the main room and sat down. Xu Dacan followed behind Damao and Lou Xiaoe, not daring to even breathe.

The girl Liu Yueru came out and made a cup of tea for everyone, then ran away without any loyalty.

Xu Damao didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment, so he winked at Xu Jiang.

Xu Jiang glanced at Xu Dacan, a sly smile appeared on his face, and he said to Liu Huangbai: "Old Liu, when these two kids first met, I knew they had a good rapport!

Look now, the two children like each other, it's a natural progression! This is a good marriage."

Liu Huangbai simply turned his butt towards him, as if he was going to break off all ties with him.

Lou Xiao'e smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Doctor Liu, our two families have a deep bond. You took the trouble to treat Damao and cured his unspeakable illness. You are truly our family's benefactor.

And Yueru, I liked her the first time I saw her! Please rest assured that my husband and I will treat Yueru as our own sister and will never let anyone bully her! I promise that she will not suffer any injustice. "

Xu Jiang has been his old friend for many years. He doesn't have to give him face, and there is no need for them to say these things between them.

But when Lou Xiao'e spoke, Liu Huangbai couldn't pretend he didn't hear her.

He sighed: "You have no one to rely on, so I will be more compassionate to you..."

Xu Dacan understood that "no one to rely on" meant that Liu Yueru lost her mother when she was young. Liu Huangbai felt sorry for her for not having her mother's love since she was a child, so it was inevitable that he loved her a little more.

It is precisely because of this that I am even more reluctant to let her get married.

Liu Huangbai had even less confidence in Xu Dacan, the yellow-haired guy who asked him, "Lao Deng, is it okay for my will-o'-the-wisp to be parked downstairs of your house?"

"..."

Lou Xiao'e said softly at this time: "The young were raised by the elders, and we cried endlessly when we parted."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment before continuing, "Most Tang poets were romantic and unfaithful, and were always affectionate. But there were also some who were chaste and always loyal to their marriages. Wang Wei was one of them, Du Fu was one of them, and Wei Yingwu was also one of them."

It was not until Xu Dacan heard the name "Wei Yingwu" that he realized that what they had just recited was "Farewell to the Daughter of Yang" from "Three Hundred Tang Poems".

This is it

In ancient times, there were "five things not to marry" in marriage, one of which was "don't marry the eldest daughter of a widow, without any teaching or warning."

This is Liu Yueru, who is worried that she has not been taught by her mother since she was a child, and after marrying into her husband's family, she will not know the rules and will not be able to serve her mother-in-law...

Although we live in a new country with new people, new things and a new country, some traditions are still like some "unwritten rules" of later generations. People should try their best to abide by them.

It turned out that Liu Huangbai was playing a witty game with Lou Xiao'e. Through this poem, he was trying to test the attitude of Lou Xiao'e, the "wife in charge of the family."

Lou Xiao'e's reply to him just now showed her position: "We are a kind family. After Liu Yueru marries us, we will only treat her well and will not make things difficult for her."

Alas, this Liu Huangbai is also a "literary daughter slave". He perfectly portrayed the contradictory and complex psychology of his daughter about to leave him, as well as the old father's deep and sincere love for his daughter...

With Lou Xiao'e's promise, Liu Huangbai finally gave in and, in the presence of his close friend Xu Jiang, he nodded in agreement to the marriage between Liu Yueru and Xu Dacan.

Before leaving, he even wrote down his daughter's birth date and asked Lou Xiao'e to take it to someone for fortune-telling.

After leaving Liu Huangbai's house, Xu Dacan asked Lou Xiaoe in confusion: "Sister-in-law, aren't many feudal superstitions broken now? Why are there still people telling fortunes?"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head: "Those who cheat are gone, but there are still people who match the horoscopes for couples and choose auspicious times. Everyone just turns a blind eye and doesn't do it openly."

Xu Dacan understood, this is just like the black market and the ghost market...

Only then did Lou Xiao'e start to settle accounts: "You little bastard, we agreed to act together, why are you messing around again?"

Xu Dacan hesitated: "Well, isn't today my first day of getting paid? I thought about buying a gift for Liu Yueru. I haven't given her anything properly yet."

So that's how it was. Lou Xiao'e was relieved but also curious: "What did you give her?"

"A Hero brand gold pen. Ivory color. She loves it!"

Xu Dacan always felt that Lou Xiao'e's insights were far ahead of her time, and he felt free to speak to her boldly about certain things.

Take the color of this fountain pen for example. If you ask Xu Damao, he will definitely tell you: "Buy the red one, women all like red!"

If you ask Sha Zhu, he might say: "Isn't it just a pen? There's no color that won't write. Look how hypocritical you are!"

But Lou Xiao'e understood: "Oh my god, how old are you? You understand girls' minds so well!"

After that, he pinched Xu Damao again and said, "You Xu family are really not good people!"

Xu Damao pouted in injustice. Seeing Xu Dacan was about to leave on his bike, he hurriedly called out to him, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go back to the factory. Deputy Director Li is treating us to lunch today. We're going to play cards after lunch, so he specially invited me."

It turned out to be a business trip, so it was fine. But Lou Xiao'e was still worried and told him: "You are not allowed to go to the ice rink during this period, and you are not allowed to meet Liu Yueru until the day of the formal engagement after the New Year. Do you hear me?"

Xu Dacan replied weakly, "I understand, sister-in-law," and then rode away on his bicycle.

Only Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were left, and he was eliminated: "Look at him, Gezi, he can't wait to get married, haha..."

"..."

The reason why Xu Dacan had to rush back was, firstly, because Li Huaide really invited him, and secondly, he had to rescue him from Sha Zhu!

Xu Damao did not go home directly. He sent Lou Xiao'e to the entrance of the alley and left. He went to the police station to "enthusiastically" provide clues about the wheel that was missing from the third uncle's house!

The two brothers split up into two groups, and Xu Dacan rushed back to the factory on time.

Li Huaide was looking for him: "Where have you been? We must work together well this afternoon and try to defeat Old Nie and his men!"

Old Nie is Deputy Section Chief Nie, a subordinate recently promoted by Li Huaide.

Do you remember the deputy director Nie of Shougang? They are relatives.

It was only when Xu Dacan saw him that he remembered, wasn’t this the “Deputy Director Nie” who later came to be known as him?

His brother Xu Damao just wanted to make trouble for him, but he ended up kicking his foot on a steel plate and offending someone he couldn't afford to offend, so he was demoted to the ground by Li Huaide.

He was no longer allowed to be a projectionist and was sent to the Fifth Workers' Club to show movies for others...

On the day of Little New Year, the leaders of Red Star Factory started eating like crazy from noon.

After working hard for a year, I can finally relax from today.
