Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

After waking up, Aunt Meng reacted in the same way as Liu Haizhong and followed him searching everywhere.

The two of them were no longer tired at this moment, as if they had endless energy.

They searched all the surrounding alleys, and even Aunt Meng wanted to ask every household.

More than half an hour later, Aunt Meng sat down on the ground and cried softly like Jia Zhang.

"Oh, you damn thieves, hooligans, bandits, robbers, why don't you take my life? That's two hundred dollars worth of stuff, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning and killed by a bunch of shameless people?"

How could she not feel bad about something that cost two hundred dollars? Not to mention her, even Liu Haizhong's heart was bleeding at this moment.

But at the same time, he was still thinking about how to get so many things in two days, as the wedding banquet could not be sloppy.

"Lao Liu, let's call the police. We must catch the robbers. And the guy who sold us the goods, I think he's the one who did this. He doesn't want to sell the goods, but he wants the money!"

What Aunt Meng said was what Liu Haizhong was thinking, but he couldn't report to the police, nor could he seek justice on the black market.

The former is hard to explain, and the latter is something he is afraid of dying of.

"Alright! Let's talk about it when we get home!"

The two returned to the courtyard in a daze. When they passed the central courtyard, a smile appeared on Jiang Fan's face as he lay on the bed.

Liu Guangfu heard the noise, turned over and continued to sleep.

……

When Liu Haizhong, who had not slept all night, was anxiously waiting in the yard, Xu Damao came up.

"Uncle Liu, how are you preparing the wedding materials? The day is coming soon. You can't have a wedding banquet like Jia Dongxu's, right?"

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about it. It will definitely be prepared." Liu Haizhong still remembered that day when Xu Damao stabbed him in the back, and his tone was very bad.

Xu Damao sighed. "Uncle Liu, look at how you could treat me like this? I originally came here to help you solve your problems, but now it seems you don't need me. Forget it, just think of it as my own wishful thinking."

After saying that, Xu Damao left with regret, counting "one, two, three" in his heart.

"Da Mao, wait a minute!"

Liu Haizhong couldn't hold on any longer and called out to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao turned around and smiled, "Uncle Liu, what's the matter?"

"Tell me in detail about the problem-solving issue."

Xu Damao smiled brilliantly, and looked at the person in his bangs as if he was looking at a piece of gold.

Golden legend!

Half an hour later, Xu Damao walked out of Liu's house refreshed. Liu Haizhong forced a smile and sent him to the door, saying, "Come and play often, Damao!"

But as soon as he got back to the house, he couldn't help cursing, "Xu Damao, I *******, your mother *******."

Just now Xu Damao said that he could indeed provide him with some help, and help him to meet someone, and that person could prepare the wedding banquet for him, and even all kinds of bills.

But the price will be a bit high, and Xu Damao will also take a cut of it.

This immediately reminded Liu Haizhong of the masked man, and he couldn't help but wonder if Xu Damao was in the same group with him?

However, Xu Damao said that the person who provided the things was the leader of a certain unit, which made Liu Haizhong a little unsure again.

He hesitated for a long time and asked Xu Damao where he was last night and the night before yesterday?

Xu Damao said that when he was at home coaxing his child, the child would always cry in the middle of the night and would have to wake up several times a night, and he was the one who coaxed him.

Liu Haizhong also remembered that he had seen lights on at Xu Damao's house at night for the past two nights. This meant that Xu Damao didn't have time to become a robber.

However, the possibility of a gang committing the crime cannot be ruled out.

But Xu Damao didn't give him too much time to think, and told him that he could contact him if he needed anything, but only today.

After much hesitation, Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth and agreed. The wedding banquet was the most important thing at the moment.

But Xu Damao asked for a twenty-yuan commission, which made Liu Haizhong unable to help but curse a few times.

"Forget it, wait until I become the leader. I will take all this back!"

At the steel rolling mill, Xu Damao vividly described his visit to Liu Haizhong today.

"What on earth was Liu Haizhong thinking? How could he accept such an outrageous price? If I spent a few hundred dollars on a wedding banquet, my dad would definitely break my legs!"

Jiang Fan didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Do you know who Liu Guangqi is going to marry?"

Xu Damao shook his head. He really didn’t know this.

"I do know that girl. She's the only daughter of a section chief in Liu Guangqi's unit. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xu Damao thought for a moment and realized, "No wonder Liu Haizhong was so concerned and spent so much money on such a grand wedding banquet. It turns out he's marrying into a wealthy family."

Xu Damao knew very well what kind of person Liu Haizhong was, and he instantly understood why he did this.

Everything is for the purpose of becoming an official.

However, Xu Damao did not think that Liu Haizhong could become an official just because of his behavior. Of course, it would be good to have a relative who is an official, and it might be more convenient in the future.

Liu Guangqi, needless to say, just wanted to be an official. He had no problem with that. As for Liu Haizhong, it would be more reliable to think about how to restore his position as the second uncle.

In the evening, Xu Damao took the money and took Aunt Meng to get the things back to the courtyard.

Seeing that everything was put into the house, Liu Haizhong felt relieved. This day had been full of ups and downs, which had scared his little heart a lot.

After a careful inspection, Liu Haizhong found that these things were not from the batch that was stolen, so he felt relieved.

"It seems Xu Damao is not in the same group as the robbers."

Everything was completely purchased, and Liu Hai felt very relieved and extremely happy.

Only Aunt Meng couldn't help feeling sad when looking at the pile of things, as she thought of the robbery again.

Chapter 494: The heroic Liu Haizhong

Sunday came quickly, and the courtyard became bustling with activity.

Although it was still a little inconvenient for his feet to rest in his bangs, it did not affect his restless heart.

Wearing new clothes, with a red flower on her chest and bangs, she walked out of the house happily, greeting the neighbors who were helping in the yard in a very stylish manner.

The He family father and son are not able to handle these eight banquet tables alone, so they have to ask someone to do some preliminary preparations. The neighbors in the yard are the best candidates.

"Congratulations, Lao Liu. There's going to be a new member in the family."

"Guangqi from your family is really capable. He found a wife on his own. But our kid refused to go on blind dates. He's like a fool. He hangs out with his friends every day. I don't know when I'll be able to hold my grandson."

"Old Liu, your family spent a lot of money on this banquet. This table of dishes must have cost at least ten yuan."

When someone mentioned the banquet, Liu Haizhong's smile froze. Ten yuan? That's not enough.

But he just followed the leader's example, nodded to the neighbors who helped him, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Then he came to He Daqing and said, "Master He, this time it's up to you."

"Nothing will go wrong." He Daqing replied nonchalantly, sitting by the stacked stove, smoking a cigarette. He had prepared banquets countless times and had never failed.

Liu Haizhong was also aware of He Daqing's abilities. After asking a question, he walked towards the central courtyard.

Today he wants to show off.

At the Jia family, Banggeng was pestering Jia Dongxu to take him to the banquet. He had just gone to see that the Liu family's banquet was quite sumptuous, with big fat chickens, big carps, and big pieces of meat with both fat and lean meat. Every item was tempting the glutton in his stomach.

Jia Dongxu was a little hesitant. Generally speaking, children would not be brought to a banquet, after all, no one's family was rich.

"Dad, just take me with you. Haven't you seen how many delicious foods the Liu family has prepared? I won't lack food for everyone." Banggeng said pitifully, holding Jia Dongxu with both hands.

Feeling the missing palm, Jia Dongxu hesitated for a while, "Well, I'll go ask your uncle Liu. If he agrees, I'll take you there. If he doesn't agree, come over at noon and I'll pick some food for you."

"Great! We have meat for lunch!"

Banggeng cheered and jumped high in excitement.

This made Jia Dongxu feel a little uncomfortable. He looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Huairu, after you get your salary at the end of the month, go buy some meat and we'll make dumplings."

"Row."

Qin Huairu was also a little happy. In the past, except for the Chinese New Year, her family could not eat dumplings once a year. Even if they could, she could not eat much.

But things are different now. If we eat dumplings, the one who can't eat many is Jia Zhang.

But Jia Zhang was not at home, but in the backyard, staring intently at He Daqing who was cooking the carp. She even drooled, not knowing whether it was because of the meat or He Daqing.

When Sha Zhu, who was helping, saw Jia Zhang, he frowned slightly and reminded He Daqing.

The latter took a look and whispered to Sha Zhu to inform Liu Haizhong.

Sha Zhu understood, put down what he was holding and went to look for someone.

At this time, Jia Dongxu, who was standing next to Liu Haizhong, was greeting him with a smile.

"Hello, Second Uncle!" Banggeng's voice was very loud, as if he wanted everyone in the hospital to hear it.

This sentence also made Liu Haizhong feel relieved. He bent down and looked at him kindly. "Banggeng, you are such a polite and good boy. Dongxu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Jia Dongxu seemed very embarrassed at this time, and he didn't know how to open his mouth.

On the contrary, Bang Geng, seeing that his father was silent, said without hesitation, "Second Uncle, I also want to attend Uncle Guang Qi's banquet. Is that okay with you?"

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong immediately wanted to refuse. If Jia Dongxu took Banggeng with him, then others would have to follow suit and bring their children with them.

If things don't go well, all the children in the yard might be taken away. There won't be any food left at the banquet.

"Second uncle, I can give you an extra gift, is that okay?" Jia Dongxu said embarrassedly in a low voice.

Liu Haizhong frowned. How much money could a gift money have? It could not compare with the banquet.

Just as he was about to refuse, Jiang Fan walked in from outside carrying a bag.

"Fatty Liu, why are you coming to our front yard when you're not busy with the wedding banquet?"

After the last falling out, the Jiang family won't give Liu Haizhong any good face, and he will definitely not attend the wedding today.

When he saw Jiang Fan, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but think of the pistol, but it was a lot tougher today.

"Jiang Fan, this is a wonderful family banquet. Your brother Dongxu brought his children and wanted to join in the fun."

Jiang Fan looked at Jia Dongxu, who lowered his head, and then looked down at Bang Geng, but he saw some jealousy in the other's eyes.

"Is that so? Fatty Liu, do you agree or not?"

This sentence made Liu Haizhong feel upset. He didn't know whether to agree or not.

Just looking at Jiang Fan's slightly sarcastic eyes, the fire in Liu Haizhong's heart was suddenly ignited.

Liu Haizhong said stubbornly, "Promise, of course I will agree. More good jokes, more blessings, what a great thing."

Hearing this, Bang Geng immediately followed up, "Thank you, Uncle Er, you are such a good person."

Jia Dongxu also took the opportunity to express his gratitude and then went home with the good joke.

"Fatty Liu is open-minded! Old Yan, did you hear that? You can bring your children to the Liu family's banquet."

Jiang Fan shouted at the Yan family, and Yan Bugui, who was hiding behind the door, walked out somewhat embarrassedly.

"Old Liu, you see Banggeng can go, so can our Jiefang?" Yan Bugui said with narrowed eyes, but there was no light in his eyes.

After hearing Jiang Fan's voice, the others also stuck their heads out to observe, wanting to know the result.

Liu Haizhong was now in a really difficult situation, cursing Jiang Fan and Jia Dongxu, father and son, in his heart.

"Yes! Why not? Every family can bring one child here."

"Old Liu is so righteous! Jiefang, please come out soon and thank your second uncle!" Obviously, Yan Bugui also knew what Liu Haizhong liked to hear.

After Yan was freed, he shouted happily, "Thank you, Uncle Er."

Other neighbors also brought their children to thank Liu Haizhong and praised him.

He kept calling me "Second Uncle" and "Second Uncle" and my bangs were about to fly up after hearing that.

He glanced at Jiang Fan complacently, then said, "We're all neighbors, it's just an extra set of bowls and chopsticks. Unlike some people..."

He didn't continue, but Jiang Fan understood what he meant. It was just a mockery of their family for not holding the wedding banquet in the yard and not inviting people from the yard.

This time, with Liu Haizhong taking the lead, most people spoke up in agreement, saying that the Jiang family was not doing a fair thing.

Jiang Fan didn't care and went home with his things.
