Zhang Zhonghua returned to the house and started making dumplings. He picked up the small whip he bought yesterday at the right time and went out to order the small whip.
Then the crackling sound of firecrackers sounded, and a group of naughty children heard the sound. When the sound disappeared, they swarmed up and started looking for unexploded firecrackers among the firecrackers on the ground.
Zhang Zhonghua looked at the scene in front of him with a smile and recalled his childhood.
When I was young, I was one of those naughty kids. I was also a little obsessed with playing with firecrackers. I even held two kickers in one hand and lit fires with the other.
But this person often walks by the river, and how can his shoes not get wet? One time, he lost control of his hand, and his two kicks fell directly to the ground. He was so frightened that he didn't know where to run, and he dug around everywhere, and started shooting from then on.
Then I no longer dared to play with flowers.
Zhang Zhonghua was thinking about his childhood memories when he saw Xu Damao walking out of the backyard carrying something with a gloomy look on his face.
"Hey, Brother Damao, what's going on?"
Zhang Zhonghua said hello to Xu Damao.
"Forget it, it's not that little bastard Bangge who blocked my door early in the morning and asked me for New Year's money. If I didn't give it, they would sing the rat curse on me! I don't know who the hell taught me!"
It can be said that Xu Damao was filled with righteous indignation when he was treated like this on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"Yeah, this Chinese New Year celebration is too much!"
Zhang Zhonghua was also speechless. I thought it was a joke. They wanted more New Year's money but you didn't give it. That's why they came like this. You didn't want to give me a penny!
"Hmph, it must be that bastard Shazhu. No one in this courtyard could do such a thing except him, Shazhu!"
Xu Damao cursed in a low voice while suppressing his anger.
He didn't dare to scold He Yuzhu loudly, for fear that He Yuzhu would give him another beating if he heard it. He was already unlucky enough, and if he was beaten again, he would be unable to survive the year.
"No way." Zhang Zhonghua said and then began to change the subject, "Brother Damao, where are you going with your things?"
"Where else can we go? To my father-in-law's house."
"Going to pay New Year's greetings to Lou Dong? You should go."
"On the one hand, New Year greetings, but on the other hand, your sister-in-law went back to her parents' house in anger last time, and she never came back.
It's been such a long time, and I miss her too. I thought it would be better to get rid of my anger after such a long time, so I'm going to take the opportunity of celebrating the New Year to bring her back."
In fact, Xu Damao didn't want to take Lou Xiao'e back. During the time when Lou Xiao'e returned to her parents' home, he was free and at ease. Isn't it said that the happiest time for a man after marriage is when his wife returns to her parents' home?
Zhang Zhonghua didn't believe a word of Xu Damao's lies.
Xu Damao thought about picking up Lou Xiao'e, but he was probably stimulated by the gangsters and others, so he hurriedly prepared to pick up Lou Xiao'e and continue his great cause of having a son.
"Okay, Brother Damao, please go quickly. It's okay for Sister Xiao'e to stay at her parents' house all the time. If you bring her back, you won't have to gossip with the neighbors."
"okay!"
After saying that, Xu Damao picked up his things and left.
Zhang Zhonghua watched Xu Damao leave the middle courtyard. He knew that Xu Damao was destined to return without success and that he might not be able to see Lou Xiao'e or even enter the Lou family's gate.
Sure enough, not long after, Xu Damao came back with a gloomy face. It seemed that the Lian Lou family had been rejected, otherwise he shouldn't have this expression.
Things were pretty much what Zhang Zhonghua guessed.
Xu Damao carried his things all the way to the door of Lou's house and knocked on the door of Lou's house.
It was Lou An who opened the door, but Lou An didn't know Xu Damao.
"Who are you looking for?"
Lou An was also puzzled as to why someone would come to the door.
Lou Zhenhua probably had to tell Lou An about the current situation, but he didn't say specific plans, but Lou An also knew that it was unlikely that anyone would come to pay New Year's greetings.
Things were just as Lou An thought. There were only a few calls in the past two days, and no one came to the door at all.
Why is someone here now?
"Hello, my name is Xu Damao, and I am Lou Xiao'e's husband."
Xu Damao immediately said with a smile.
"Are you Xu Damao?"
Lou An looked Xu Damao up and down with an unkind look on his face, and it turned out that this was Xu Damao who had beaten his young lady Lou Xiao'e.
He doesn't look like a good person at first glance.
"You wait here for a while, I'll go to Mr. Lou to inform you."
After saying that, Xu Damao slammed the door shut before he could react.
"You, you...fuck."
Lou An cursed and walked quickly to the dining room. At this time, Lou Zhenhua and Lou's mother had already gotten up and were having breakfast.
"gentlemen……"
Lou An leaned into Lou Zhenhua's ear and whispered a few words.
"Xu Damao, that bastard, dared to come to visit Xiao'e to pay New Year's greetings after beating him? Tell him to get out of here!"
After Lou An's words, Lou Zhenhua slapped his chopsticks and started to curse.
"Lou An."
Lou's mother also put down her chopsticks.
"lady?"
"Let Xu Damao go. It's impossible for Xiao'e to go back with him, so don't let him come in, otherwise it will ruin everyone's good mood during the New Year."
Lou's mother picked up a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, then explained to Lou An.
"Yes, ma'am!"
"etc!"
Lou Zhenhua stopped Lou An.
"gentlemen?"
"Tell Xu Damao exactly what I said!"
"Okay, sir, I will convey the exact words."
After saying that, Lou An exited the dining room.
Xu Damao, who was locked out of the door, was very angry. I am your uncle of the Lou family after all. You and the Lou family are so scary that I didn’t even ask you to go in and wait. No matter how awesome you are, I will definitely sue you in front of my father-in-law later.
If you look like this, I'll tell you to pack up and get out.
While Xu Damao was dreaming about being a bad servant who would not deceive young people into poverty and slap others in the face, the door of the Lou family opened again.
Xu Damao immediately adjusted his attitude, looking arrogant.
"Father-in-law, are you letting me in? You..."
As he said this, Xu Damao took a step forward and walked inside.
"Xu Damao, you can't go in."
Lou An stretched out his hand to stop Xu Damao who was about to go in.
"What do you mean?"
Xu Damao was stunned, what's going on? Shouldn't you invite me in politely?
"Mr. Lou said, Xu Damao, a bastard, dared to come to visit Xiao'e to pay New Year's greetings after beating him? Tell him to get out! These were Mr. Lou's exact words. I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, please go back."
After speaking, Lou An closed the door again with a bang before Xu Damao could react.
"Bah, what the hell."
Xu Damao outside the door was stunned for a moment, this is wrong, this is wrong, this, why is it completely different from what he thought?
Before he came, he thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that Lou Zhenhua would not let him in.
"Lou Zhenhua, you are amazing. Just wait for me. One day you will fall into my hands."
Xu Damao was stunned outside Lou's house for a while, then shivered when a gust of cold wind blew him, and then left cursing.
