Chapter 1271 I always feel like I see my shadow in him

The snowflakes of Yanshan are as big as seats, and the pieces blow down Xuanyuantai.

In Nanluoguxiang, it was just after get off work and the streets were crowded with people. It was also Chinese New Year, and almost every employee coming out of the factory was holding canned food, soap, towels and other New Year's goods distributed by the company, and they were talking and laughing.

As the New Year approaches, it seems that the whole city is filled with the joy of harvest.

"Hey, Damao, are you celebrating your new year? You're drinking Jiannanchun and eating pig's head meat, but we just celebrated the Little New Year yesterday!"

Yuan Zhencheng, who was riding a bicycle with a plastic sheet on his body, suddenly braked and looked at Xu Damao with surprise, who had just bought something from a street grocery store.

"Hey, today is a happy day, add some food! Your family is really careful and calculating! When the incident happened yesterday, I saw the food on your table. Damn, there is not even a main dish on New Year's Day?"

Xu Damao glanced sideways behind him and found that it was Yuan Zhencheng, and there was a lot more pride between his brows.

As a member of the Yuan family, Yuan Zhencheng was naturally accustomed to the Yuan family's frugal family tradition. Hearing this, he was not angry, but just sighed quietly: "There is no way, my parents have lived a hard life, and during festivals, a few more pieces of oil residue in the dishes is already a good improvement!"

Hearing him say that, Xu Damao felt a little reluctant again. He paused while pushing the cart and said, "Come to my house later and have a bite! I'll give you some pig head meat!"

"Brother Mao..."

Yuan Zhencheng opened his mouth, his eyes a little red, and nodded silently.

"Hey, Uncle Yuan, how did your life become like this? How did it become like this? I remember your family used to be pretty good! When my dad was in the yard, the old brothers used to drink a lot..."

At this point, Xu Damao tilted his head and asked, "How long has it been since Uncle Yuan drank?"

"My little sister stopped drinking after she entered junior high school!"

Xu Damao was a little dazed after hearing this. He calculated the time silently and sighed, "That's been more than ten years! It's not easy! Can the wine bug lend me the wine!"

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the handlebars with two bottles of Jiannanchun hanging on them and said, "Okay, I'll treat you today. My dad will be back in the yard in a couple of days, so I'll just invite your dad to come over for a drink before the New Year!"

"Brother Mao, I didn't realize you are so humane!" Yuan Zhencheng felt warm in his heart.

"Damn it, I had that experience before..." Xu Damao retorted to him.

"Then why didn't you notice it before?" Yuan Zhencheng joked.

But Xu Damao, for the first time in his life, had no intention of joking. He shook his head, looked seriously at the endless snow and wind, and said, "Maybe it's because I'm too old! Alas!"

The two of them pushed the cart slowly in the whistling heavy snow.

It was in stark contrast to the people around him who were rushing home.

"Let's not talk about anything else. I used to have a bad relationship with Dashuang. Now when I think about it, I feel really bad! Although my marriage is not perfect, this old guy is worse than me. He is not a bad person, but his fate is just a little worse than mine! A lot of things have happened in the yard recently, and I feel sorry for him..."

Yuan Zhencheng turned his head to look at him and asked in surprise: "Brother Mao, why?"

Xu Damao shook his head and sighed, "I always feel like I see my shadow in Dashuang!"

Yuan Zhencheng was shocked and stopped in his tracks. He looked at Xu Damao in astonishment as he walked past him. He walked farther and farther away, and his footprints disappeared in the wind and snow.

He is not as old as Xu Damao, he is a few years younger, but he grew up with Xu Damao and He Dashuang.

In all these years, Xu Damao had never told him as much from his heart as he did today.

The people in the yard are materialistic and vulgar, and there seems to always be a deep gap between them.

Yuan Zhencheng understood today that it was not that others did not think as deeply as he did, but that no one would talk about their profound understanding of life unless they were moved by the scene or met the right person.

At least now, Xu Damao treats him as a brother.

"Brother Damao!" Yuan Zhencheng hurriedly pushed the cart and chased after him. Not wanting Xu Damao to be more sentimental, he smiled and asked, "Our salaries are similar. You bought Jiannanchun drinks and food today. It must be a happy event, right? Share it. Let's not always think about the unhappy things. Talk about them and make me happy too!"

Xu Damao smiled when he heard this and said, "I sold the side room of my house to Doctor Li Xiangnan today!"

"You sold the house?" Yuan Zhencheng was so shocked that his voice was a little excited. "How much did you sell it for?"

"300 yuan!" Xu Damao stretched out three fingers of his gloves with holes in them.

"Wow! So much!" Yuan Zhencheng was amazed, "This Doctor Li is really good at making money!"

"It's just 300 yuan! I'm afraid we can't save that much in a year! He spent this much without blinking an eye. Don't you think he is very rich?" Xu Damao said admiringly: "I said that Doctor Li is the best in our courtyard!"

"Of course!" Yuan Zhencheng said in astonishment, "So running a hospital is so profitable!"

"You are talking nonsense!" Xu Damao glanced at him, "He is doing a contract and making a lot of money, you know..."

"Hey, Shuang bro!"

The two of them walked to the gate of the yard and were about to brush off the snow on their bodies when they saw He Dashuang coming from another intersection with a depressed look on his face. They squeezed into the gate together.

Although Xu Damao kept saying that He Dashuang was pitiful, when this man was really in front of him, he became reserved and restrained, and even a little embarrassed, and was unwilling to pay attention to him.

However, He Dashuang shook his straw raincoat, glanced at the happy Yuan Zhencheng and Xu Damao who was protecting the handlebars with net bags, and discovered some clues.

"Tsk, it's really frustrating to compare yourself with others! Others are in trouble, but you are celebrating!"

Knowing that he was making sarcastic remarks about the Zheng family, Xu Damao just smiled and said, "Of course! I'm happy, what's it to you?"

“Hey, Big Brother Mao, you just…” Yuan Zhencheng was dumbfounded when he saw these two enemies bickering as soon as they met, and quickly said, “Brother Shuang, Brother Mao wasn’t celebrating either. No, he was celebrating, but not to celebrate the Zheng family’s affairs. He sold the house, the small side room, to Doctor Li for 300 yuan! Such a small house was sold for yuan, Brother Mao made a fortune! No, Doctor Li was generous and didn’t bargain with Brother Mao!”

"..." The corners of He Dashuang's mouth twitched. He felt jealous and envious. He stood frozen at the gate of the yard, watching Yuan Zhencheng tell his family that he was going to Xu Damao's place to drink. He bit his cheek unconsciously.

He cursed inwardly, shook off the snow on his straw raincoat, quickly entered the Chuihua Gate, and walked quickly from the corridor past Zheng's house to his own home.

"Xiao Suan'er, go find your dad!"

Unexpectedly, Qin Chunlian was waiting for him at home. When she saw him come back, she hurriedly urged her grandson to go back.

"Is the meal ready?" He Dashuang glanced at him, threw his raincoat and hat on the pile of firewood at the door, and walked into the house.

Pfft!

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Chunlian fell to her knees.

"Shuang Ge, please save our family!"

He Dashuang was startled, his eyebrows twitching wildly, and he asked with a dark face: "What happened to your family again?"
