Life was always dull and blissful. Just like that, more than ten days passed unknowingly. One morning, He Yuzhu was having breakfast with an old man when he suddenly heard a commotion in the courtyard. He went out and saw four or five people moving things in the courtyard.
He Yuzhu thought about it and thought about it. He hadn't heard of anyone moving in recently. Besides, the courtyard house was full. Could it be that someone was moving out? He was wondering who was moving out when he saw Xu Damao carrying a small box out of the backyard." Xu Damao, your family is moving out. Congratulations. I'll have a good drink today."”
Xu Damao's face darkened and he said angrily,""Silly Zhu, you…" Suddenly, Xu Damao seemed to have thought of something and quickly said with a smile,"Zhu Zi, for the sake of my future marriage, my parents specially applied for a house near the cinema where my father works. After cleaning up the house today, they plan to move over so that I can get a wife as soon as possible. After all, Zhu Zi, you're about to have a child, and I'm still single. My parents can't stand it anymore and are anxious for me to carry on the Xu family's bloodline.”
"Then you have to work harder, but I don't think so.”He Yuzhu said mockingly. He didn't want to talk to Xu Damao anymore, so he turned around and prepared to go back to his room.
Xu Damao's face darkened when he heard He Yuzhu's words, but he immediately smiled and said,""Zhu Zi, wait. Let's not talk about my marriage anymore. Don't you want to drink? It's simple. In two days, I'll renovate my house and buy some new furniture. I'll buy some good wine and food and invite you to my house for a drink.”
He Yuzhu turned around and looked at Xu Damao with disdain.""Hehe, when did you, Xu Damao, become so generous? Moreover, I realized that you haven't been going against me recently. You're still talking to me nicely. This isn't like you, Xu Damao. Now, you even want to treat me to a drink.”The more He Yuzhu spoke, the more he felt that something was wrong. He thought about Xu Damao's character in the original drama. Xu Damao might be trying to set him up. He had been living too comfortably recently and had let down his guard. No, he had to be careful of Xu Damao from today on.
When Xu Damao heard He Yuzhu's guess, he could not help but feel his heart tighten. He hurriedly said,"No, it's nothing. Zhu Zi, you're thinking too much. I'm just planning to renovate the house to celebrate. I'm not just inviting you. I'm also going to invite the three elders and Qin Huiru to my house. When the time comes, I'm even planning to reconcile our relationship with you. Recently, I've thought it through. It's not good for us to fight since we were young. After all, we're from the same courtyard house, and we should get along peacefully. Zhu Zi, don't you think so?”
"Would you, Xu Damao, think that way?"
"Zhu Zi, give me a chance to change. You have to believe me. How about it?”
"I'll think about it. When?”
"After I finish renovating the house, wait for me to inform you of the exact time.”
"Alright, we'll talk about it when the time comes. I'll go back first.”
Xu Damao saw that He Yuzhu had agreed and could not help but feel happy. He smiled and said,"Zhu Zi, go home first. We'll have a good chat in a few days.”
Xu Damao watched as He Yuzhu walked into the house, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. He thought to himself, I'll let you be smug for a few more days, and then you'll have a good time. At this moment, Father Xu came out of the backyard with something. When he saw his son Xu Damao standing in the middle of the courtyard with a silly smile, he quickly shouted,"Da Mao, what are you standing here for?”
Xu Damao returned to his senses and said with a smile,""Dad, it's nothing. I'll leave now." As he spoke, he quickly walked out of the courtyard house with the small box in his arms.
He Yuzhu returned to the house and sat down to eat. An elder said to He Yuzhu,"Zhu Zi, were you talking to Xu Damao just now? What were you talking about?”
"Xu Damao's parents want to move out and make room for Xu Damao to get married.”
An elder said in surprise," Heh, this Xu Youcai is really capable. There are so many people in the capital now, yet he can actually get a house. I'm afraid he'll have to spend a lot of money."”
The Deaf old lady said softly," Didn't you say that you were going to find a wife for Xu Damao? I guess they've split up. Xu Youcai must have gone to the neighborhood committee to separate the households. With some help, he should be able to get a house. Otherwise, it would be impossible."”
The First Uncle nodded." Old Madam is right. But Xu Youcai didn't tell the people in the courtyard that he was moving. Doesn't he need everyone to help him move things?"”
He Yuzhu said," I've seen it. There are a few people helping, but they're not from our courtyard. It seems that they're from our rolling mill who are close to Xu Damao."”
"Don't worry about the Xu family. It's not easy to get along with them anyway. Let's just live our own lives.”
"The old lady is right. Forget it, let's eat.”
......
When He Yuzhu sent Zhao Yiqiu to school, she realized that Xu Damao's house was still moving. It seemed like they were moving everything in the house. In this era, every household didn't have many things. When Father Xu moved away, he would usually only take some of Father Xu's and Mother Xu's clothes, old beds, old furniture, and some rations and other sundries. It wouldn't take so long.
However, He Yuzhu immediately remembered that Xu Damao was going to renovate the house for his future marriage. Then, the furniture in the house would probably have to be replaced. After all, compared to the new house of his old rival, He Yuzhu, Xu Damao would probably buy things that were not much worse than He Yuzhu's for the sake of face.
If that was the case, Father Xu and Mother Xu might really have to empty the house. No wonder it took so long. He Yuzhu sighed for a while before he rode away with Zhao Yiqiu. Anyway, no matter what happened to the Xu family, it had nothing to do with him.
After Father Xu and Mother Xu moved out, Xu Damao got someone to renovate the house for him on the same day. He got someone to build new bed cabinets and other furniture. That night, there was no bed, so he made a bed on the floor and spent the night on the floor. Fortunately, the weather in Beijing was not too cold now. Otherwise, Xu Damao would have frozen to death. However, Xu Damao still could not avoid falling sick. Two days later, he caught a cold and was very uncomfortable.
As the saying goes, misfortune never comes alone. It was almost the National Day. Xu Damao was the only projectionist of the Red Star Rolling Mill. Xu Damao's direct leader, the head of the publicity department, gave him a task to go to the nearby villages to play movies for the farmers. Xu Damao had no choice but to drag his sick body to the countryside with a projection machine that weighed dozens of kilograms.
Before Xu Damao left, he went to look for his mother and asked her to supervise the renovation process of the house during the day. After Xu Damao's house was completed, he was still in the countryside and could not come back. However, on the last day of completion, his parents came. They were very satisfied with the new house and happily settled all the fees. After locking the door, they left.
