Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 14 Xu Damao's Fake Kindness

"elder brother!"

Li Guofu walked into the room and looked at Li Guoqiang, who was familiar yet a little strange. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end only the word "brother" came out of his mouth.

"Well, since you call me brother, I'll tell you what I want to say!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, then gestured to Li Guofu to sit down next to him.

After Li Guofu sat down, he continued, "You also know that our mother almost had a difficult labor when she gave birth to you, which led to our father's unwillingness to let our mother give us another brother, so now only the two of us brothers can carry on the family line."

"And you know my physical condition. No one can say for sure whether I can get married and have children in the future."

"Therefore, the important task of continuing our family's legacy falls on you."

"Nowadays, no one knows what it will be like to go to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth. If something unexpected happens to you in the countryside, wouldn't our family be wiped out?"

"So after thinking it over, I think it's more important for you to stay in the city to honor our parents and pass on our family line."

"Besides, I don't want to live such a miserable life. I want to see what the outside world is like. Otherwise, even if I die, I will die with regrets."

"In short, if you still consider me your brother, you should listen to me and go to the post office with our father early tomorrow morning to complete the procedures for taking over the post, so as to avoid any accidents."

"From now on, I will hand our parents and sister over to you. If I come back and find that you haven't taken good care of them, you'll have to clean your butt and wait for me to spank you!"

Hearing these words, Li Guofu was so moved by Li Guoqiang's caring heart that he burst into tears.

"Brother, don't worry. I will take good care of our parents and sister in the future, and will ensure that our family's incense will be passed on smoothly."

"From now on, my children are your children. When you are old, I will let them take care of you and see you to the end of your life."

"Alright, alright, why are you crying, you grown man? If someone hears me, they'll think I'm dead!"

When Li Guoqiang saw Li Guofu crying, he immediately spoke with some disgust.

Upon hearing this, Li Guofu quickly stopped crying, then looked at Li Guoqiang with a twitching nose, with sadness and reluctance in his eyes.

He knew that Li Guoqiang might not come back once he left.

Although he and Li Guoqiang are half-brothers, he was born and raised in the Li family, and he also regards Li Guoqiang as his real brother from the bottom of his heart.

Every time he saw Li Guoqiang sick and miserable, he wished he could get sick in Li Guoqiang's place.

Now, in order to take care of him, Li Guoqiang actually chose to risk his life and give him the opportunity to take over the position and stay in the city. How could he not feel uncomfortable?

However, just as Li Guoqiang said just now, no matter how uncomfortable he was, there was no way to change anything now.

The only thing he could do was to listen to Li Guoqiang, stay at home and work hard, take good care of his family, and pass on their family's incense.

Upon seeing this, Li Guoqiang reached out and patted Li Guofu's shoulder vigorously, then stood up and walked out, intending to let Li Guofu calm down his emotions alone and let him take a good breath.

Whether in his previous life or now, he doesn't like things like separation and death.

What's more, he was essentially an outsider, and there was no chance that he would die in the countryside, which made him feel even more embarrassed.

Just as he was standing at the door, thinking about going to the black market early the next morning, a tall figure suddenly walked in from outside the screen wall.

"Hey! Qiangzi, what are you doing standing at the door?"

When Xu Damao saw Li Guoqiang standing at the door in a daze, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

In his impression, Li Guoqiang, this sickly guy, would hide in the house for seven or eight days out of ten. It was basically rare to see Li Guoqiang outside, let alone standing at the door blowing in the cold wind like he was now.

Could it be that this sickly guy has recovered?

Otherwise, why would you suddenly want to go to the countryside to join the team?

But, looking at his yellowish and pale face, it doesn't seem like that? "Nothing! Just standing and exercising! Uncle Xu, what brings you to our house now?"

Li Guoqiang silently looked at Xu Damao, the most sinister and cunning villain in the courtyard, and then asked calmly.

On weekdays, since their family lived in the back house in the south courtyard, and Xu Damao lived in the west wing in the backyard, they were far away from each other. In addition, neither Li Dawei nor Yao Meilan were employees of the steel rolling mill, so their family and Xu Damao had no personal relationship and could only be regarded as very ordinary neighbors.

It's not a festival at this time, but Xu Damao suddenly came to the door. It goes without saying that he must have some bad ideas in mind.

However, for the time being, he couldn't think of what Xu Damao might be planning, so he could only be polite and see how the situation went.

When Xu Damao heard this, a look of concern instantly appeared on his face.

"It's like this. I heard that you were planning to go to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth, so I came to ask if this was true. I also wanted to ask if you had encountered any difficulties. Otherwise, why would you do such a stupid thing? Am I right?"

"Thank you for your concern. I do plan to go to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth, and I haven't encountered any difficulties!"

Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, then politely expressed his gratitude.

"is it?"

Xu Damao was slightly stunned, then quickly asked: "Then why are you doing this? Hasn't your father already decided to give the job to you?"

"There's no reason. I just think that instead of continuing to be a burden to my family, I might as well go to the countryside and make some contributions to the country!"

Li Guoqiang shook his head, then explained calmly.

When Xu Damao heard such a powerful reason, he was immediately speechless.

Then, he suddenly remembered something and asked quickly, "By the way, what about your dad's job?"

"Why do you ask?"

When Li Guoqiang heard Xu Damao asking about Li Dawei's work, he frowned slightly, then asked somewhat stiffly.

"No, nothing! I'm just asking! Since you don't need my help, I'll go back first!"

Xu Damao noticed that Li Guoqiang's tone was a little unhappy, his eyes condensed slightly, then he quickly waved his hands and explained with a smile.

After saying that, he didn't stay any longer and just turned around and left.

At the same time, his expression suddenly became somewhat gloomy.

snort!
What a fool you are. I am a leading cadre of the neighborhood committee. I came here with good intentions to ask about the situation, but you dare to give me a cold look?
I bother!

You are such a sickly person, and you say you want to go to the countryside to contribute to the country?

I don't think that little life will be lost in just three or two months!

In that case, I might as well make good use of the waste and get that little beauty Luo Huijuan.

Thinking of this, Xu Damao suddenly felt a little hot in his heart, and then he quickened his pace and walked towards the central courtyard.

Li Guoqiang stood there, watching Xu Damao's leaving back, his eyes slightly cold, then he pondered for a moment, then hurriedly turned around and went into the house.

Although he didn't know whether Xu Damao was really that kind, it was always a good idea to be more cautious.
