Chapter 53 The role of He Daqing
After the father and son collected the ingredients, they started cooking.
After a while, Yan Bugui came back from school with Yan Jiecheng, looking worried.

Smelling the aroma of food, I went straight to the middle courtyard.

Then I saw Li Qingshan squatting under the eaves of the main house with Xu Damao and others, watching He Daqing cook.
"Lao He, this is your stepson, the one that Lao Yi wants to adopt as his godson today."

"Yes, that's him, his name is Li Qingshan,
Qingshan, call him Uncle Yan. Your Uncle Yan is our neighbor in the front yard. From now on, you will live across from him in the front yard."

"Hello, Uncle Yan."

"Okay, okay, the little guy is chubby and sweet-mouthed, he will definitely have a bright future.

Just like the pillars in your house."

After praising Li Qingshan, Yan Bugui started chatting with He Daqing.

At this time, Xu Damao rushed into the room and took out the half bottle of Coke that He Yuzhu had left for Yan Jiecheng.
"Look, we left you some Coke.
How about it, buddy treats you well! "

Seeing the Coke that Xu Damao handed over, Yan Jiecheng's eyes lit up.

Like everyone else,
He had only seen this kind of thing in the window of a department store and knew it was extremely expensive. He didn't even have time to say thank you to Xu Damao before he immediately took it and poured it into his mouth.
I was afraid that if I moved too slowly, my stingy father would call me back.

Then, as I tasted it, it was gone.

So he didn't notice that He Yuzhu and Liu Guangqi beside him were looking at him with an indescribable look.

There were even some faint signs of nausea and retching.

Yan Jiecheng finished drinking the Coke and burped loudly [burp~~], then patted Xu Damao who was smiling brightly beside him.
"Da Mao, we are childhood friends indeed. You can even remember me for something as good as Coke.

do not worry,
I will never eat good things alone in the future."

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's sincere eyes, Xu Damao suddenly felt guilty for some reason.

To alleviate this pain,

He decided without hesitation to ask He Yuzhu and Liu Guangqi to share the burden.

"No, no, no, no, the solution is,
Zhuzi paid for the Coke, and Guangqi suggested saving it for you.
I didn't do anything, I just took it out of the house for you first.

If you want to thank someone, thank Zhuzi and Guangqi."

Seeing Xu Damao pick him off completely in an instant, He Yuzhu wanted to rush up and punch him a few times.

Killing her is the best solution.

But today was He Daqing's wedding, and as a son he couldn't spoil it.

If Xu Damao were exposed and Yan Jiecheng knew that what he drank was Xu Damao's saliva, he would definitely quarrel with him.
It is not auspicious to have a chaotic situation.

Although He Yuzhu didn't care about Bai Guafu's opinion, He Daqing had nothing to say to him.
"It's okay, Jiecheng. If Damao hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten to save a Coke for you. If you want to thank someone, thank Damao. He's the only one who remembers you."

While speaking, he winked at Liu Guangqi.
Liu Guangqi also quickly said that he didn't do anything and Xu Damao was still reliable.

Fortunately, Yan Bugui, the stingy old man, heard that it was He Yuzhu who bought the Coke, and while he felt sorry for the money, he also indirectly exposed the matter.

"Zhu Zi, I just heard from Damao that you bought the Coke.

Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this. You might as well lend it to me, your uncle Yan, to buy some hard goods."

Then he started to scold his son.

"Sure, Yan Jiecheng, you're quick enough.
Are you trying to play tricks on me? Why don't you give me a sip?"

"Dad, I haven't had it before, but I couldn't help but try it. It tasted so good that I finished it without noticing." "You haven't had it before, but your dad has.

A waste of money! "

Everything was fine before, but after hearing this last sentence, He Daqing immediately became unhappy.

"I say, Old Yan, you are going too far in your indirect criticism. My son Zhuzi just bought a few bottles of Coke, how can you associate it with wasting money?

Besides, he didn't drink all the Cokes by himself.

Not only did it honor the old lady and me as her father, but Damao and Guangqi also had a share.

How come it becomes a failure in your mouth? "

Seeing He Daqing stand up to speak for him, He Yuzhu suddenly felt that his figure had become much taller, and felt that his decision to keep him was wise.

What Yan Bugui said just now was ambiguous.
If He Yuzhu himself came out to refute,

First of all, you have to choose your words carefully. If you are not careful and use too much force, He Daqing and the deaf old lady will be the first to be unhappy.

After all, Yi Zhonghai's saying "There is no such thing as an old man who is not wrong" is not just his catchphrase.

It's the old-fashioned way of doing things.

It is also the universal value of the vast majority of people in this era.

The core meaning is that I am your elder, even if I do something wrong, you cannot object, let alone jump out and criticize me.
Instead, you should endure and dedicate yourself silently until you get through it, and then treat the next generation in the same way.
This is called being a daughter-in-law for many years before becoming a mother-in-law.

To put it in the terms used 6 or 70 years later, this is called PUA.

Although there is no Internet yet,
But in fact, online exposure has existed since ancient times.

This is what the sayings "three people make a tiger", "gossip can melt gold", "accumulated criticism can destroy a person", and "people's words are scary" mean.

In addition, transportation and information dissemination are not well developed.
It limits people's entertainment and activities.

If the reputation of a prodigal son spreads to the ears of the neighbors who know him well, no matter how many years have passed, someone will bring it up and label him as such for life.
Acquaintances have better memory than the Internet.

Therefore, Yan Bugui did not dare to admit that he was talking about He Yuzhu, but insisted that he was teaching Yan Jiecheng a lesson.

If it was He Yuzhu, the matter would probably end there.
It was a loss I suffered in silence.

But now He Daqing is in charge, and he doesn't buy into Yan Bugui's tricks.
"Old Yan, please stop coming here.
What Yan Jiecheng, your son didn't let you drink the Coke first, at most he is unfilial, not a spendthrift.

If you want to say Zhuzi, just admit it openly and stop fooling me."

Seeing that He Daqing had just implied that He Yuzhu was a prodigal son, and then he accused Yan Jiecheng of being unfilial, Yan Bugui was so angry that he trembled.
But he knew he was in the wrong and pointed at He Daqing without saying a word.

In the end, it was the deaf old lady who smoothed things over and finally let the matter go.
"I said you two are done,
It's just drinking a Coke, why take it so far?

Zhuzi reconciled that one was 13 years old and the other was only 10 years old. How could they be considered a prodigal son or an unfilial son?
Ruining the reputation of children, is this how you act as elders?
It's getting late, Xiao Yi and Xiao Liu will be back soon, so stop talking nonsense here."

After hearing what the deaf old lady had said, He Daqing and Yan Bugui stopped arguing about the matter and calmed down.

In fact, strictly speaking,
He Daqing and Yan Bugui were both right.
Throughout the entire TV series, the four children of the Yan family, including Yan Jiecheng, are all ungrateful and unfilial.

And Sha Zhu is indeed a prodigal son,
Not only did he hand over his own courtyard to Widow Qin, but later he even dragged his wife and children to let Widow Qin suck his blood.

If this isn’t what a prodigal son is, then what is?
