Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 378 Fight!
Xu Qing took his son towards Xu Damao and the others.

People in the courtyard were gathered together now, and they all looked at the old man warily.

Xu Aiguo and Xu Fengming came out of the house and followed behind the eldest brother, wanting to see who is coming?
In broad daylight, he actually came to his own compound to make trouble, he really ate a bear's heart and a leopard's courage.

Liu Guangtian and his wife stood at the door of their own house, watching from the sidelines. Although they didn't step forward, they stood on tiptoe to watch.

When Xu Qing squeezed into the crowd and stood in front of Xu Damao, looking at the sloppy old man, he was suddenly stunned.

It looked familiar, as if I had seen it before, but I couldn't remember it for a while.

Xu Qing stopped and stared at the old man carefully for a while, then suddenly remembered, isn't this the old Yang who used to be a second-hand dealer like Xu Damao?
At that time, he almost opened Xu Damao's head with a kitchen knife.

Unexpectedly, he could still see him after more than ten years. Xu Qing was a little stunned, turned to look at Xu Damao and said:
"Brother Da Mao, what is he doing in our courtyard?"

Xu Damao stared at Lao Yang without squinting, and said to Xu Qing:
"This old bastard tricked me into coming!"

As soon as Xu Damao finished speaking, his eyes turned hard, and with a movement of his right fist, he slammed it on Lao Yang's face. At the same time, he lifted his right foot and kicked Lao Yang's stomach violently.

Lao Yang was punched and kicked, his eye sockets were swollen, and his stomach hurt. He suddenly bent over, his face twisted ferociously, and he bared his teeth and cursed.

"Xu Damao, you grandson, if you dare to hit grandpa, grandpa, I will make you walk around without food!"

Lao Yang originally wanted to get some money from Xu Damao. He had been in the prison for three or four years, and he had just been released.
He had never had a serious job in half his life. He learned from the gangsters who used to hang out with him that Xu Damao had become prosperous in recent years, so he came here to try his luck.

If he can blackmail a sum, he can live comfortably for a few days.

But he didn't expect that Xu Damao didn't follow his tactics at all. He just met him, and he didn't get a penny, and he didn't drink a sip of water, so he was beaten first, biting his back molars, He stared fiercely at Xu Damao, and then cursed angrily:
"My surname is Xu. Grandpa, I will make you a bad person on the street today. I will expose all the deeds your kid has done in the past!"

The old man turned to look at Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai and others, straightened his body, and said coldly:
"You probably don't know that little bastard Xu Damao, he secretly worked as a second-rate dealer more than ten years ago!"

After the old man finished speaking, he saw that the faces of the people in the compound did not show the surprise he expected. He felt a little flustered, and hurriedly said, "Aren't you going to tie him up?"

However, everyone in the courtyard remained unmoved.

How could the people in the compound not know anything about what Xu Damao had done in the past?

Whether it's Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui, or Liu Haizhong.

The three masters in charge of the compound actually noticed it more than ten years ago.

But they are all from the same compound, and they keep their heads down all day long, so it is impossible to report Xu Damao.

No matter how much trouble there is in the courtyard, it is still the matter of the family compound, but if it is exposed, it will be different.

The compound's face was dishonored, and the street office might hold them accountable, saying that the three stewards did not have a clear grasp of the compound's situation and actually allowed a speculator to operate under their noses.

Therefore, based on the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less, Yan Bugui and the three stewards tacitly turned a blind eye to it. As long as Xu Damao was not arrested outside, they would pretend not to know that there was such a thing. thing.

In addition, Xu Damao was young at that time, could get money outside, and was not married yet. He was lavish on food and drink, so he was more or less kind to everyone in the compound.

Especially the three stewards received many gifts from Xu Damao.

Although they are not worth much, only half a catty of stick noodles and two taels of mung beans can be eaten.

How could they report Xu Damao.

Just Jia Zhang and the first mother, the third mother, and the second aunt, these women in the courtyard have been kept in the dark.

After all, what Xu Damao did was relatively secretive, knowing that at that time the business of a second-hand trafficker was shady, and women liked to gossip.

Therefore, he never put the things he got into his compound back then.

At this time, the three aunts and Jia Zhang who had just entered the backyard, as well as Yu Li, Jing Hong, Xiaoya
They were all taken aback when they heard what Lao Yang said, but seeing that Yan Bugui and the other three were silent, they didn't say anything.

It's just that Jia Zhang secretly thought, why didn't she know about this more than ten years ago.

If you know, you must secretly report to the street office.

But right now, Mrs. Jia put her hands in her pockets and stood beside the third mother, but she didn't think about reporting Xu Damao.

At this moment, Xu Damao got married to Qin Jingru, and Qin Jingru was Qin Huairu's cousin, so she was somewhat related to her family.

Even if she wanted to report it, if the people in the courtyard didn't say anything, Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu would talk to her endlessly.

He stood aside and watched quietly.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade everyone in the courtyard, Lao Yang suddenly became anxious. He looked at Xu Damao with his eyes wide open and pointed, "Xu Damao, you little bastard, just wait. The people in your courtyard are facing you. I'm watching your factory." If you don't like me, when you start working in the factory, I will go to your factory to report you and fight with Grandpa. Grandpa, I will not let you do it as the deputy director!"

During this period of time for Xu Damao, bad things happened one after another, and the anger in his heart had not completely dissipated. Lao Yang came to his door looking for a beating. He immediately became heartbroken and became violent. He grabbed the pole in the yard and hit Lao Yang's head. Swing it hard.

"You old bastard, grandpa is no longer the deputy director, don't you fucking know?!
If you dare to blackmail grandpa today, grandpa will beat you to death! "

Xu Damao went down with a shoulder pole, and it hit Lao Yang's head with a bang.

Immediately, Lao Yang's head was smashed open, and blood flowed out.

Fortunately, Xu Qing asked his daughter-in-law Jinghong and younger sister Xiaoya to bring their son into the house first, so that they did not see this scene.

And Qin Jingru scratched Lao Yang's face with his teeth and claws, and followed Xu Damao to curse:
"You old man, bully my man, I'll scratch you to death!"

Xu Damao and Qin Jingru, the couple who beat Lao Yang, ran from the backyard to the front yard, chasing and beating him.

Lao Yang ran away with his head in his arms, and ran out of the courtyard in a hurry, spitting harsh words in his mouth.

"Xu Damao, you little bastard, just wait, Grandpa, I'll never finish with you, let's wait and see!"

"Look at you, grandpa, grandpa has abolished you today!" Xu Damao chased out of the compound holding a pole, stood in the alley, and was about to smash Lao Yang's legs.

Lao Yang is an old bastard who has been on the street for decades. Fighting and fighting are commonplace for him. He has a lot of experience and knows something is wrong. In pain, he stretched out his hands, grabbed the pole that Xu Damao swung down, clenched his teeth and caught it, and with the help of momentum, hit Xu Damao against the wall of the alley, then turned around quickly, and ran towards the entrance of the alley in a panic.

At this moment, Xu Qing, Silly Zhu, Ai Guo, Feng Ming, and the others also walked out of the courtyard.

Seeing Xu Damao chasing Lao Yang, relentless, and about to beat him to death, Silly Zhu stood beside Xu Qing, frowned, and said in a low voice:
"Qingzi, this guy Xu Damao started a fight so violently?"

Xu Qing hummed, but didn't speak.

When Xu Damao was a teenager, he dropped out of school and hung out on the street for a few years. Fighting was not a problem, and Lao Yang had a feud with Xu Damao.

It's just that in the compound, Xu Damao was bickering with others at most, and fighting with Shazhu was only a few gestures.

To be honest, Xu Damao didn't know how to do it. He was a neighbor in the same courtyard, and he didn't have any deep hatred, so he wouldn't talk about killing him.

Secondly, even though Xu Damao and Sha Zhu have been arguing and arguing from time to time these years, from the bottom of his heart, he doesn't want to be as knowledgeable as Sha Zhu.

When Sha Zhu made a fool of himself, no one would admit it, but Xu Damao is not immature, he is a shrewd person, he knows the seriousness, and he understands that it doesn't make much sense to care about Sha Zhu.

Injured, harmed, and ugly in front of everyone in the compound.

So let's muddle along with Shazhu, give way, and make a good impression on the neighbors in the courtyard, so as not to be pointed behind his back, saying that he is not a thing, even the people in his own courtyard will be spared.

In terms of human relationships and sophistication, Xu Damao can be said to have thought of, taken into account, and taken care of everything.

Otherwise, how could he have mixed with the leaders of the factory when he was not a cadre in the factory but an ordinary film projectionist.

It relies on being smart, tactful in dealing with things, and knowing how to advance and retreat.

At this time, Xu Damao failed to catch up with Lao Yang at the entrance of the alley and returned with a pole. His face was still angry. He took out his cigarette and walked around Xu Qing, the three stewards and others, and threw the pole to Qin Jingru. He spat on the ground fiercely, looked at the entrance of the alley coldly and said:
"If it wasn't for that bastard Lao Yang running so fast, I'd have to unload him today!"

Seeing that Xu Damao was angry, Xu Qing asked:
"Lao Yang ran away, the National Day holiday is closed, you should pay attention in the factory."

Xu Damao smoked a cigarette and shook his head, "Hey! As for Lao Yang, that bastard, brother, I didn't pay attention to it at all. These three tigers and the others didn't dare to go to the factory to make trouble. Lao Yang is not enough. indivual!"

Seeing what Xu Damao said, Xu Qing said nothing.

As for the people in the compound, seeing that nothing happened, they returned to the compound one after another.

But Xu Aiguo stood by his elder brother and didn't go back. He said to his elder brother:
"Brother, I have something to do in the afternoon, so I'll go out for a while."

Xu Fengming followed: "Brother, I have something to do and I want to go out for a while."

Xu Qing said in a low voice: "Then you two go early and come back early, and I will let your sister-in-law and Xiaoya stay with you for dinner."

Xu Fengming replied, "Okay." He turned around and walked along the alley with his second brother towards the street.

Now both Xu Aiguo and Xu Fengming have graduated from university, are working, and are both busy with their own affairs.

As the eldest brother, Xu Qing will not stop him.

The road he paved for his two brothers has been paved.

Xu Qing didn't care about how they left after that, nor would he often ask.

After a while, Aiguo and Feng Ming disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

Xu Qing, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu, the three finished smoking in the alley before returning to the compound.

Not long after Xu Damao returned, he pushed his bicycle and went out on the street.

Xu Qing walked into his house and looked at his sister who was sitting in front of the sewing machine, stepping on the pedal while her hands were busy on it. She felt more and more virtuous. She looked at it in trance for a while, and saw Xiaoya stopped. The work in hand, he said:
"Xiaoya, Yan Jiedi got married two days ago, you and Liu Jianjun, have you discussed it?"

Xu Xiaoya looked up at Xu Qing, her pretty face flushed, and shyly pushed her elder brother, "Brother, I haven't considered whether to marry him yet."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "You brought him to our house on the second day of the National Day, haven't you considered it yet?"

"Really not." Xu Xiaoya pouted and thought: "Brother, since it's National Day, I'll go to his house first. If he insists on coming to our house, what can I do?"

"Then you don't like him?" Xu Qing asked.

"like."

"Why haven't you thought about it before, because the two of you have never talked about marriage?"

Xu Xiaoya seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago and became the little girl before, hesitatingly said:

"It's not that he didn't say it. He mentioned it to me several times. The last time he came to our house, he planned to bring his parents with him and make a direct engagement. I didn't think about it, so I didn't agree."

Xu Qing wanted to ask again, but Ma Jinghong came over and helped her sister-in-law out of the siege:

"Brother Qing, Xiaoya has her own plans, so don't ask, what do you guys know about girls?"

When Xu Qing saw his daughter-in-law say that, he laughed and didn't ask again.

But let Jinghong help him keep an eye on it, just such a younger sister, she can't be careless at all.

Xu Fengming came back late in the evening. Patriot had been home for a long time before he came back. As soon as he entered the room, he took out a comic book from his body and threw it to his nephew Xu Hongzhi.

"Third uncle, I just bought it for you today, Wu Song fights the tiger."

The little guy took the book, flipped through it impatiently, ran to Xu Fengming, held the comic book in his hand, and said with a bright face:

"Thank you third uncle, you are so kind, let's watch together later."

When Xu Fengming was young, he also loved reading comic books. Hearing what his nephew said, he nodded and said:

"Okay, we'll have a piece together later."

When Ma Jinghong saw her brother-in-law came back, she turned and walked into the kitchen and Xiaoya brought the dinner to the front room.

The whole family sat together, having a lively meal.

In the courtyard outside the house, scattered stars twinkled, making the dark night extraordinarily beautiful. However, it was already autumn and the weather was getting colder, so no one wanted to enjoy it in the courtyard.

And at this meal time, everyone in the compound also ate at their homes.

The entire compound was shrouded in darkness and the scent of rice. The autumn wind at night had no choice but to wander back and forth in the front and back yards. The frightened insects hiding near the walls wanted to scream but did not dare to scream.

When Xu Qing, his brothers, sisters, daughter-in-law, and son had just finished dinner and had not even packed the dishes into the kitchen, Silly Zhu came to visit with the old lady on his back.
