Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 775 Potatoes Potatoes
The family had the New Year’s Eve dinner together, and Qin Huairu had already returned home.

Xu Damao felt that what he said was already very gentle, but it still inevitably made the atmosphere of this good family dinner cold.

No one in the family of four spoke.

The moon outside was very round, the doors and windows were closed, and the lights in the house were on. All in all, no matter how bright the moonlight was, it could not shine into the house.

As the saying goes, the moon is fullest on the 15th and 16th, but who remembers that the moon is also full on the 30th and 1st of every month?

How long has it been since you looked at the moon with a clear mind?
We have been advocating that women can hold up half the sky, and there is indeed slow progress, but when it comes to every family, we can see some changes. However, not much has changed over the years, and it is still the rule that men work outside and women work inside.

The mother comes home through marriage and the daughter gets married off; this is the most objective reason.

In the old society, the three bad habits of a family were smoking, drinking, and beating one's wife and children. But the actual situation is that this is not limited to the old society, but will continue until the next century. When education and culture are fully popularized, such things will gradually disappear. Promoting and publicizing it is not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires the efforts of three generations and it is not something that can be said casually.

but true.

Calculating the time, more than 20 years is a generation, and more than 60 years is exactly three generations.

The father is the head of the family, and the mother and children not only have no say, but they dare not refute what the father says.

Then you will find an interesting phenomenon, that is, in the end it is the sons who rebel against their fathers. When it comes to family relationships, the first one is fatherly love and son filial piety, followed by brothers being friendly and younger brothers being respectful. There is no mention of mothers and daughters here.

The son rebelled against his father, saying that he had grown too powerful and was no longer obedient. In short, the reality was that the father's authority was gone, and the son took over the responsibility of carrying the family banner from his father.

This is the inheritance.

Now Xu Damao has become powerful enough, he has a family, and he is the pillar of the family and the real head of the family. Xu's father is well aware of this, so when Xu Damao refutes his authority, he can only remain silent.

As for other things, I don’t want to think about them anymore, because Xu Damao has truly brought honor to the family.

The family is a working-class family, which is like a golden phoenix flying out of a chicken coop.

At this time, Xu Yueling just lowered her head and ate.

She remembered clearly how Xu's father made her kneel down and be beaten when she was a child. It was a fear that came from the bottom of her heart.

"Well... you have an idea, and it's the right idea in your mind, so you should do it as soon as possible. Your mother and I are not young anymore."

"okay, I get it."

In the end, it ended with Xu's father's compromise.

This is also an inevitable result. In fact, it started when Xu's father moved out and left the house to Xu Damao as a wedding house.

The originally serious and tense atmosphere disappeared.

Mother Xu then began to speak: "Da Mao, we are not asking you to do anything, but you really should have a child. You have been married for quite some time. You can ignore the gossip before, but now that you are fine, you should prove it to them."

At this moment, a firework rose into the sky outside the gate and exploded, and the scattered fireworks were reflected in the eyes of everyone who was watching.

When Xu Yueling heard the sound of fireworks, she immediately opened the curtains. What shone into the room was not only the fireworks, but also the not-so-conspicuous moonlight.

"Who's setting off fireworks outside?"

Xu Damao also looked up. There was something wrong with the fireworks appearing here at this time and place.

Because this is obviously more expensive than homemade fireworks.

Before he could continue to be curious, a shout came over: "Xu Damao, Xu Damao, potato potato, I am sweet potato, I am sweet potato, please answer if you hear me, please answer if you hear me."

It was obvious that someone was shouting outside the gate with a loudspeaker made of pure iron.

And the voice was obviously Li Xuewu.

"I'm done eating, I'm going to go out and see what's going on." "Who's calling you outside?"

"Li Tianjiao's younger brother."

"Then go quickly. If I take you to the reunion dinner, you should think about it. After all, we are from a small family and it is not shameful to go to the girl's house for the reunion dinner."

Xu Damao:......

Of course he knew it wasn't shameful.

"I'll go out and take a look first. The folding bed is in the old place. There's a new quilt in the cabinet in the inner room. There's a rocking chair in the living room. I can use it for one night. Just leave the door open."

This is because the house is too small to accommodate everyone. Two rooms are not really enough for a family of four. In some large courtyards, there are even large rooms for seven people.

Xu Yueling was eager to try and wanted to go out and see. It would be even better if she could set off the fireworks herself. Unfortunately, with a look from Xu's father, she had to sit down obediently.

The courtyard was filled with people who came out to watch the fun.

Supplies are in short supply now, so you can’t buy or set off fireworks whenever you want.

Several children in the yard were playing with small firecrackers that cost two cents a box, and firecrackers that cost one cent a box.

"Da Mao, the fireworks are already placed outside the door. Why don't you buy some this year?"

"I came across the homemade fireworks by chance before. They came from the countryside. Now I don't know where to buy them if I want to."

Not only was the courtyard bustling, the entire Nanluoguxiang was bustling with sounds of firecrackers, noise and children's crying.

A year has passed, and no matter whether rich or poor, time has passed. On this last day, with the joint efforts of the street and neighborhood committees, almost every household can eat dumplings.

This is happiness.

As soon as Xu Damao went out, he saw Li Xuewu standing on the roof of the car, holding a tin horn and shouting about sweet potatoes and potatoes.

There were children around watching the fun.

Xu Damao handed out a handful of candies before he came closer.

If a movie were shown here today, it would probably be even more lively.

Li Xuewu has obviously changed a lot compared to the last time. His arm is much thicker than before. If you have to say it, his body is a little out of coordination.

I used to be short, but now my height has not increased. I have grown muscles on my body, but the muscles cannot grow on my head, so my head looks very small.

"You're not at home on New Year's Day, what are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm calling you to go to the Temple of Heaven to set off the fireworks. Brother Haojie and the others are here, so they asked me to come and invite you."

In the past, Lin Haojie and his friends often came to this courtyard. Now they have started to ask Li Xuewu to notify them. After a while, I'm afraid it will be the service staff who will notify them or just call them directly.

This change is really fast.

Xu Damao didn't know what happened at the top, but he knew that Team Leader Li now asked him to build good relationships with Lin Haojie and others.

In front of so many people, Xu Damao couldn't refuse either. The main reason was that if he refused now, he would not be able to refuse when Lin Haojie came in person.

So, just endure it.

"The Temple of Heaven, right? You go first, I'll be there soon. I'll drive there myself, so you won't have to take me back later."
