Chapter 562 Xu Damao's Discovery
"Li Qin, is there something going on between you and Third Uncle?"
After catching up with Li Qin, Xu Damao suddenly asked Li Qin in a low voice.
Li Qin continued walking forward after hearing these words, but a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Why do you say that?
A smug look flashed across Xu Damao's face;
"Don't underestimate me. I'm very smart. I noticed a long time ago that there was something wrong with the way Uncle San looked at you."
Although it's not always obvious, you can occasionally see the fear and apprehension hidden in the old man's eyes.
.
Li Qin glanced at Xu Damao with great surprise.
He truly hadn't expected Xu Damao to be so perceptive; he had discovered something that no one else had noticed.
However, since Xu Damao was his friend, Li Qin had no intention of hiding anything from him.
"You're right. Third Uncle tried to scheme against me many times before, but I managed to fool him each time. It's just that he's been giving me a bit of a headache lately."
So I gave Uncle San a little lesson to keep him quiet for a while, and it seems to have worked quite well.
After saying that, a faint smile appeared on Li Qin's face.
Since the last time we taught Yan Bugui a lesson, the other party has indeed quieted down a lot recently.
At least they didn't bother him anymore, which made Li Qin very satisfied.
After hearing Li Qin's words, Xu Damao's face immediately revealed a smug smile, as if to say, "I knew it!"
However, his gaze toward Li Qin then turned to one of admiration.
"Li Qin, you're amazing! You managed to keep even the Third Uncle in line."
Xu Damao wasn't flattering Li Qin; he meant it sincerely.
Many people in the courtyard disliked Yan Bugui's stingy and calculating personality, but they did so because Yan Bugui was a teacher.
This is related to the schooling of some children in the courtyard house.
In addition, Yan Bugui was one of the stewards of the courtyard house.
Even if the residents of the courtyard house dislike it, they can only endure it.
As for Xu Damao and Xu Fugui, don't be fooled by the fact that they always give Yan Bugui some benefits every time they come back from the countryside.
But that wasn't because they wanted to get close to Yan Bugui; they simply wanted to win him over through this method.
They didn't expect Yan Bugui to help them inside the courtyard; they just hoped he wouldn't cause them any trouble.
Xu Fugui was a cunning and shrewd man with a deep mind, so he was always able to hide his true emotions well when facing Yan Bugui.
But Xu Damao is still young, and it's the time when he's prone to impulsiveness.
Despite being personally trained by Xu Fugui, he did not show any unusual behavior in front of Yan Bugui.
However, in a different setting, Xu Damao would make no attempt to hide his dislike for Yan Bugui.
Faced with Xu Damao's praise, Li Qin calmly shook his head.
"I used to live in the front yard, so I know a little about the Yan family's situation."
"Only the third uncle in the Yan family has a stable job, and Yan Jiecheng does odd jobs on the street. They have to support the whole family, so life is not easy."
Li Qin was simply stating the facts; he didn't try to argue his point in this matter.
"So I usually don't argue with Uncle San about small things. It was only last time that he went too far and made me a little angry, so I made him remember this lesson."
Actually, if Yan Bugui hadn't been so calculating, or if he hadn't annoyed Li Qin so much from the beginning, then considering their shared courtyard, things would have been fine.
Li Qin didn't mind giving the other party a little something in return.
After all, Li Qin is not lacking in difficult things.
The problem is that the Yan family was too greedy and too fond of scheming.
Therefore, even if Li Qin had the means, he was unwilling to help the Yan family.
Of course, as long as Li Qin isn't provoked, he won't harm the Yan family.
The two chatted as they walked and soon returned to the backyard.
After helping Li Qin park his bicycle, Xu Damao planned to go home.
A glint suddenly flashed in Li Qin's eyes, as if he had thought of something;
"Wait for Damao."
"Is there anything else?"
Upon hearing Li Qin call his name, Xu Damao immediately stopped and turned around, his face full of confusion.
Li Qin smiled slightly upon seeing this, and then asked, "There are only two days left until the weekend. Do you need to go to the countryside to show movies then?"
Xu Damao didn't know why Li Qin suddenly asked about this, but he still answered honestly.
"I just got back from showing movies in the countryside, so I don't need to go back for the next few days."
Upon hearing Xu Damao say that he wouldn't be going to the countryside on the weekend, Li Qin's face immediately lit up with a happy expression: "In that case, come to my house for dinner this weekend. I'm planning to make hot pot at home. It's not very interesting to eat alone, so come and join us."
At that time, hot pot was not as popular and widespread as it is in later generations, but there were still some hot pot restaurants in Beijing.
However, a more accurate description would be copper pot hot pot.
It is very similar to hot pot, but there are still some differences.
What Li Qin planned to make at home was, of course, the hot pot of later generations.
Xu Damao didn't care about the difference between the hot pot Li Qin made and the copper pot hot pot; he only cared that Li Qin had cooked the meal.
Everyone in the courtyard knows that Li Qin's cooking is never bad.
Even though they had never eaten there, the aroma of food wafting from Li Qin's house said it all.
As for Xu Damao, he was much better off than the other residents.
Sometimes when Li Qin felt bored eating alone, he would invite Xu Damao to his home for dinner.
Xu Damao had personally tasted the food.
Just as I imagined, absolutely top-notch chef level.
Thinking of this, Xu Damao's mouth involuntarily began to salivate.
Then he nodded, his eyes shining.
"Okay, no problem."
After getting to know Li Qin, Xu Damao realized that Li Qin was a straightforward person, especially among friends, and he disliked pretense and politeness.
So he agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Upon hearing his answer, Li Qin nodded in satisfaction.
"It's settled then. Remember to come to my house on Sunday noon."
"Okay, I've got it!"
At this moment, Xu Damao's eyes were full of anticipation.
He suddenly had a strange thought: why isn't tomorrow Sunday? Why is time passing so slowly?
After making the appointment, Li Qin and Xu Damao went home separately.
Having been away for many days, the first thing Li Qin did upon returning home was to clean up the house.
Although Li Qin is not a germaphobe, if given a choice, he would definitely prefer to have a better living environment.
He can do this very easily right now.
Naturally, it won't feel like a hassle.
"Sweep it all away!"
As soon as Li Qin had a thought, the cleansing spell was released.
This time, the spell was released faster, and its effects were also more powerful.
Moreover, the noise from releasing the spell is even smaller.
In the past, when he used this spell, he would summon a gentle breeze to sweep through every corner of the room.
Now it's as if nothing happened, but the room has been cleaned spotlessly.
