Chapter 49 Xu Damao's Troublemaking

Seeing the small brown paper bag in He Yuzhu's hand, He Yushui immediately rushed over excitedly.
"elder brother!

What did you buy? Candy ears?

Looking at the little figure standing in front of him and looking up at him, He Yuzhu smiled and handed over the candy ears.

"It's candy ears, here, take it and eat it!
I'll carry the coal home first and cook later."

He Yushui took the small brown paper package, held it in her arms like a treasure, and nodded happily.

"knew,

Then I'll go to the old lady's house in the backyard and let Madam and Zhaodi taste the candied ears my brother bought."

"Go! I'll call you when dad comes back."

But not long after He Yushui went to the backyard, he and Xu Zhaodi each held half of a candy ear and ran to the front yard crying and found He Yuzhu who was carrying coal.
"Brother! Please help us beat up Damao! Damao is so mean!"

After hearing what his sister said, He Yuzhu knew that Xu Damao must be up to something again.
But looking at the candy ears in their hands,

He Yuzhu couldn't figure out what Xu Damao had done to anger the heavens and the people, so he asked curiously,
"What's wrong? Did Xu Damao bully you?"

At this time, He Yushui turned around and pointed to the backyard, then cried and said,

"Brother Damao is so bad.

He said he would help Zhaodi and I cut the candy ears into the shape of the moon, but he stuffed our candy ears into his mouth and ate them in two or three bites.

Please help us beat him up, he is so bad."

"It's Brother Zhuzi. My brother is so bad. Please help us beat him up."

After listening to the two sisters' crying, He Yuzhu could not help but shake his head speechlessly, thinking that this was something that Xu Damao could do.
"Okay, okay, I'll help you beat him up after I finish moving the coal.

Let Yushui and Zhaodi vent their anger."

After getting his brother's promise, He Yushui bit the candy ear in his hand fiercely, as if he was biting Xu Damao.
Then he said incoherently, humming,

"Okay, brother, move faster."

Looking at his sister's cute appearance, He Yuzhu smiled and pointed at the candy ears in her hand.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to give the candy ears to your wife to try? Why are they still in your hands? Are you reluctant to give them up?"

"no,

This is because my wife saw that Da Mao had eaten our candy ears, so she gave hers to us, Pan Di and Guang Qi.
She also said that she had bad teeth and couldn’t eat something so sweet.”

After hearing his sister's words and thinking of the deaf old lady's incomplete and few remaining teeth, He Yuzhu didn't say anything more.

"Okay, wait for me for a while."

"Ah."

After moving the coal, he thanked the coal shop clerk and washed his hands. Then He Yuzhu took his two sisters to the backyard.

As soon as I arrived at the backyard, I saw Xu Damao standing obediently in front of the deaf old lady with a cane, like a little minion, and being scolded.
He was beaten with a stick from time to time.

Xu Pandi, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, was picking vegetables nearby and occasionally helping out by saying a few words.
Brother Liu Guangqi was grinning and laughing silently beside them.

This harmonious scene made He Yuzhu feel quite rare. He didn't expect that there would be such moments between Xu Damao and the deaf old lady.

However, from the gentle movements and smiling expression of the deaf old lady, He Yuzhu could tell that she did not really want to teach Xu Damao a lesson.
Think about it too,

Nowadays, people value boys over girls. The residents of the courtyard are so respectful to the deaf old lady that He Yuzhu's children are almost like her grandchildren.
Now that her grandson has eaten her granddaughter’s candy ears, she will side with her grandson regardless of whether he is right or wrong.

"Madam, let me teach Xu Damao a lesson.
So as not to tire you out and cause you harm."

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, everyone present looked over. Then the deaf old lady picked up her cane and nodded at He Yuzhu with a smile.
"You little naughty boy, you hit me without restraint, what if you hurt Damao?
It's just a candy ear!"

Then she put down her cane and tapped Xu Damao.
"Run away, little brat. If the pillar catches you, I'll see what you'll do."

After hearing what the deaf old lady said, Xu Damao felt as if he had been pardoned. He turned around and ran back to his home, then quickly closed the door.

Looking at Xu Damao's actions, He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh.
"Xu Damao! Do you really need to do that? You're running so fast!"

After closing the door, Xu Damao heard He Yuzhu's ridicule, curled his lips in disdain, and then replied smugly,

"Zhu Zi, come on, we grew up together, I don't know you,

Go cook quickly.

Anyway, I won't come out unless you leave. Let's see what you can do to me!"

"I say you are really going backwards. Yu Shui and Zhao Di are only a little older than you. Why would you do this just for a few candy ears?

And the moon.

Be careful or I'll punch your face into a round moon shape."

"As for! How could it not be so?
Those are candied ears. I can’t even eat them twice a year, but I’m so greedy.

No matter what you say, it just won't come out.
Lululu! "

Since childhood, this kind of thing has happened many times, and He Yuzhu is basically immune to Xu Damao's behavior.
So he didn't care, he just called out to his two sisters loudly,

"Rainwater Zhaodi, gone,

I'll buy you some delicious food, and we'll go get some foreign cola to make Xu Damao so hungry."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard Xu Damao's disbelieving voice from inside the room.
"Pull it down, pillar!

And foreign cola, are you willing to spend money on something so expensive?
You just want to trick me out, so forget it!"

Without paying any more attention to Xu Damao, He Yuzhu took his sisters to the front yard, told them to play on the kang, and then walked out the door.

the other side,
Seeing that there was no movement outside, Xu Damao opened the window a crack and looked out.
When he didn't see He Yuzhu, he opened the door carefully.
At this time, the deaf old lady smiled and said,
"Okay, you little brat, now you're scared, hurry out, Zhuzi and the others have already gone back to the front,

You said you are the same, it's just a candy ear, are you so greedy?"

Hearing this, Xu Damao couldn't help licking his lips, thinking of the candy ears he had just eaten.
"I don't want to, ma'am!
Originally, I really wanted to share some with Yu Shui and the others, but when I smelled the fragrance, I was so greedy that I stuffed it into my mouth without thinking.
It smells so good.”

Seeing that Xu Damao was still reminiscing about it, the deaf old lady smiled and picked up her cane to hit him again.

"You little greedy cat, why don't you wait for your dad to come home from get off work and ask him to buy it for you?

If Zhuzi catches you, you two will fight again."

"It's alright, ma'am. Zhuzi said a while ago that he won't fight with me anymore.
You see, he didn’t even kick my door this time.”

After hearing what Xu Damao said, He Yuzhu stopped fighting with him. The deaf old lady didn't quite believe it.

She watched He Yuzhu grow up and she knew his personality very well. How could he change so easily?
