Chapter 51: The Despicable Xu Damao

"There is only one bowl for drinking water in my house. If we want to drink Coke, we have to go to the main room.

I also took a look at my soup.

Oh, Damao, go and call Pan Di, Guang Qi, and Jie Cheng, and ask them to come and have a taste. We can’t just eat it by ourselves.”

Hearing this, Xu Damao felt a little pained.

But since He Yuzhu had spoken, he had nothing to say as they had grown up in the same courtyard.
"That guy didn't have the luck.
He was reading in the school office with Uncle Yan and never came back."

After talking about Yan Jiecheng's situation, Xu Damao immediately ran to the backyard, and at the same time did not forget to give He Yuzhu many instructions.
"I'll go to the backyard and call my wife, my sister, and Guangqi,

You have to wait until we come over before you open the bottle, and you can’t eat it alone, or I’ll have my wife beat you with a cane.”

Seeing his stingy look, He Yuzhu waved his hands impatiently.
"Okay, hurry up.
After drinking the Coke, I still have to cook, and my dad and his family are almost done moving their things."

Back in the main room, smelling the aroma of the soup, the little ones immediately drooled.

He Yushui was better, and often had work meals at Fengze Garden.

Xu Zhaodi and Li Qingshan stared at the big pot, refusing to move.

"It smells so good, Zhuzi brother."

Looking at the two people's greedy looks, He Yuzhu smiled and shook his head.

"Okay, you two little greedy cats, come here quickly. Drink Coke first. I'll give you soup after I finish cooking dinner tonight."

After all, Coke was the most attractive. Plus, when He Yuzhu said he would give them soup in the evening,
The two of them quickly climbed onto the kang and sat down.

He Yuzhu took out a few bowls from the cupboard. Just as he was about to open the Coke, he heard He Yushui say,
"Brother, we have to wait for the Madam, or Dad will scold us."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu stopped decisively.

After all, this time is different from the later times, and there are more rules. He may not take drinking Coke seriously, but others will not think so.

What if the deaf old lady felt that I didn't respect her?
He Daqing must clean himself up for the sake of the house.

Just then, He Daqing and the driver came in carrying the last box. Seeing that several people were sitting on the kang without moving, they asked curiously,

"Didn't you say you were going home to drink Coke? Why are you just sitting here doing nothing?"

"We are waiting for the old lady to come. Xu Damao went to invite her."

Hearing this, He Daqing nodded and did not ask any more questions.
"Okay, then you guys wait for the old lady at home. I'll go outside and settle the bill for the cart. Leave some for me and your Aunt Bai later. I haven't had a Coke yet!"

He Daqing took the driver outside to pay the bill.
The deaf old lady also came over with the help of Xu Pandi, and she asked from outside the door,

"Zhu Zi, I heard Damao say that you bought some Coke?"

After she finished speaking, she saw several large boxes placed in the middle of the room as she entered the room. She looked at He Yuzhu in surprise.
"Your father is back!"

Seeing the deaf old lady coming in, He Yuzhu hurriedly got off the kang and stepped forward to help her.
"My father and Aunt Bai are back and are outside paying the bill right now!
Madam, that is Aunt Bai’s son, Li Qingshan, who is 6 years old.
Qingshan, call me Madam."

"Hello ma'am!"

"Okay, okay, you're a good kid."

Together with Xu Pandi, He Yuzhu helped the deaf old lady sit on the kang. Then He Yuzhu called out to Xu Damao, who was smelling the meat beside the stove.

"Hurry up and get a bowl from the cupboard.
It's just a pot of soup, what's so good about it? I'm not going to let you eat it tonight."

Then he looked at Liu Guangqi and his brother, "Guangqi, stop holding his hand, and carry Guangtian to the kang, or he will cry in a hurry."

After arranging everyone, and waiting for Xu Damao to place the bowls on the table on the kang, He Yuzhu opened the Coke bottle and poured some into each bowl.

"Hey, hey, hey, Zhuzi, why did you save this half bottle of Coke? Are you using it to feed the fish?"

"Jie Cheng is not here, so I have to leave some for him.

Otherwise, when he comes back in the afternoon and hears that we went drinking Coke without him, he will say that we are not considerate enough.

Come on, hurry up, even eating can't stop your mouth."

After hearing He Yuzhu say that the Coke in the bottle was for Yan Jiecheng, Xu Damao shut up in dismay.
At this time, I heard the deaf old lady sighing,

"Come to think of it, I haven't had this foreign soda for many years. The first time I drank it was when the emperor was still alive."

The deaf old lady was born into a prominent family, so He Yuzhu was not surprised that she had drunk Coke.

"Madam, please try this thing and see if it has changed over the years."

"Okay, then Madam, try it."

Seeing the deaf old lady pick up the bowl first, the rest of the people couldn't wait to take action. Xu Damao even picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp.

Although 5 bottles of Coke were divided into 12 bowls, each bowl was not too much.
But it's not something you can swallow in one gulp.

Xu Damao drank the Coke in such a generous way that the carbon dioxide in the Coke burst out.
[Hmm! ~, cough cough! ]

Seeing this scene, everyone subconsciously moved their bowls away from him, and looked at Xu Damao with disgust.
He Yuzhu even laughed mercilessly,
“Eh!
Xu Damao, why are you like a bumpkin, spraying everywhere, even in your nose, isn't it disgusting?

What a waste! "

Although Xu Damao was somewhat embarrassed,

But he almost sprayed out the bowl of Coke, not even a drop went into his stomach.
At this moment, he was staring at the Coke left for He Daqing and his wife on the table, and didn't care at all what He Yuzhu said.

He Yuzhu naturally noticed his actions, so he smiled and encouraged him,
"There are still two bowls left. Pick them up and drink!"

Seeing He Yuzhu instigating him, Xu Damao immediately retorted angrily,
"You take me for a fool,

I just heard Yu Shui say that this was left for Uncle He and Aunt Bai. If I drink it, Uncle He will definitely not let me come to your house for dinner again.

Comparing a bowl of Coke with Uncle Ho’s cooking skills, I still know which one to choose.

I’m not that stupid.”

Life in a siheyuan is actually quite interesting.
Although adults in every household often have small conflicts over various things, in order to maintain a positive image of the elders, they usually tacitly avoid children.

There is no need to complain about the children in the yard.

Since childhood, He Yuzhu, Xu Damao and others have often visited each other's homes for meals, water and fire.
Even if they ran to the kang to play and fight, He Daqing and the others would not get angry in front of them.
Everything seems so harmonious.

Just as He Yuzhu was thinking this, he heard Liu Guangqi beside him burp loudly.
“Hiccup～～…

Coke is delicious.”

Liu Guangqi's reaction was like a catalyst, which made Xu Damao, who was already somewhat unwilling, feel itchy.
Then, without thinking twice, he quickly picked up the half bottle of Coke left for Yan Jiecheng and took a big gulp.
But let him drink.

When I found there wasn't much left, I spit some back out like a jerk.
