Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 168 Xu Damao Falls into a Dung Pit

Yu Haitang heard it and turned around to look at Li Pingan.

Li Pingan said: "You can go and see if you want, but you can't tell anyone that I'm back."

"Okay, brother-in-law. Wait a moment, I'll go take a look and come back soon."

After saying that, Yu Haitang quickly ran out of the door to watch the fun.

Li Pingan shook his head. He was a person who liked to watch the fun. What was so interesting about falling into a manure pit? How could he eat at night after watching it?

When Yu Haitang came out, there was already a circle of people surrounding the toilet.

This toilet was shared by people from several surrounding courtyards. With such a big commotion, people from the surrounding courtyards also gathered around.

Yu Haitang stood on the periphery, unable to squeeze in, and could only look inside with his head tilted upward.

Suddenly, someone inside shouted, "See clearly! See clearly! It's Xu Damao! The person who fell into the manure pit is Xu Damao!"

Now, everyone around started talking about it.

"How did Xu Damao fall into the cesspool?"

"Could it be someone pushed it down on purpose?"

"I guess he has a grudge against someone and is here to take revenge, right?"

"Maybe I fell down without paying attention?"

When Yu Haitang heard that it was Xu Damao, she thought about how Xu Damao had just been talking to her. How could he have fallen into the manure pit in the blink of an eye? Wasn't this too fast?

At this time, Yan Bugui came with a few people from the courtyard.

"Everyone, make way, make way! Let us get the people up first."

After saying that, he gave orders to Yan Jiecheng, Sha Zhu and several neighbors around him.

"Jie Cheng, go get a rope and find a way to pull Xu Damao up."

"The rest of you go get some buckets of water. Wait for Xu Damao to come up and flush him with water."

Soon everyone took action.

After a while, Yan Jiecheng brought the rope.

But at this time Xu Damao was still in a coma and could not be awakened. He could not get up by himself.

The problem is how to put the rope on Xu Damao.

Just when everyone was trying to think of a solution, the young widow named Hongying, Xu Damao's wife, arrived.

Seeing Xu Damao lying in the manure pit, his life or death unknown, she cried and shouted Xu Damao's name. But Xu Damao in the manure pit did not move at all.

Yan Bugui said, "Daughter-in-law Damao, please stop shouting. Try to find a way to pull the person up and then see what happens."

After hearing this, Hongying pulled Yan Bugui's arm and said, "Second Uncle, please save my Damao as soon as possible."

Yan Bugui said with some embarrassment: "We have brought all the ropes, but the problem now is that we can't put them on him. We need another person to go down and tie up Xu Damao so that we can pull him up."

After saying that, he looked around.

Everyone took a step back when they saw Yan Bugui's gaze. Who would want to go down and get covered in manure at this time?

Xu Damao's wife also saw the current situation and had no choice. She stood up and said, "Second Uncle, give me the rope. I'll go down!"

This cesspool is about 1.5 meters deep, and it is really not convenient for a woman to go down.

But no one else around was willing to go down.

There was no other choice, so Yan Bugui asked everyone to pull the rope together and slowly send Xu Damao's wife down.

Xu Damao's wife went down to the pit and immediately ran to Xu Damao. She checked his nose and found that he was still breathing.

Now she finally let go of her worries.

Xu Damao's wife shook for a long time, but seeing that Xu Damao didn't move, she could only pull him up first.

Soon, with everyone's efforts, Xu Damao was pulled up.

Then Xu Damao's wife was also pulled up.

At this time, Xu Damao was covered in feces and it was so smelly that everyone stayed away from him.

Yan Bugui asked everyone to pour the water they brought on Xu Damao.

Before he had poured a few buckets of water, Xu Damao was awakened by the stimulation.

Xu Damao was still a little dazed when he woke up.

When he saw everyone was watering themselves, he immediately sat up and shouted, "What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?"

The Xu Damao today is no longer the little projectionist Xu Damao of the past.

He is now the deputy director of a steel rolling mill, and he is treated with dignity wherever he goes.

When the others saw Xu Damao wake up, they all stepped back in fear.

Sha Zhu cursed: "Xu Damao, you are a jerk who doesn't know how to appreciate a good person. If we hadn't saved you, you would have drowned in the manure pond."

When Xu Damao heard what Sha Zhu said, he realized that his whole body was covered with dirt and emitting a foul smell, and he immediately became furious.

He immediately yelled in frustration, "What happened? Who made me covered in shit? You don't want to live anymore, right?"

At this time, Xu Damao's wife Hongying roughly cleaned her trouser legs and walked over.

"Da Mao, don't talk nonsense. When everyone found you, you had already fallen into the manure pit. It was Second Uncle and his men who had people pull you out."

Yan Bugui, who was standing by, also said, "Yes, Damao, how did you fall into the manure pit? Fortunately, the manure pit has been emptied now. Otherwise, you would be in danger this time."

After listening to this, Xu Damao carefully recalled what happened when he entered the toilet.

But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure out how he fell into the cesspool. He only remembered that he fainted as soon as he entered the toilet. He had no memory of what happened afterwards.

So he turned around and shouted to Sha Zhu: "Sha Zhu, did you push me down? Otherwise, how could you be so kind to save me?"

Sha Zhu had a hot temper to begin with, and when he heard this, he became furious.

"Xu Damao, have you eaten too much shit? Why would I push you when I have nothing better to do? Aren't you doing too many bad things and getting your retribution?"

Yan Bugui on the side also said: "Da Mao, you wrongly accused Sha Zhu this time. He was at home just now and didn't come out at all."

Xu Damao looked at Sha Zhu and thought it wasn't him. As for who it was, Xu Damao was also a little confused.

Xu Damao's wife Hongying said, "Da Mao, no matter what, let's take a shower first and go back to change clothes first."

After hearing this, Xu Damao also reacted. He was still covered in feces, and there were so many people around him looking at him and making fun of him.

So he quickly said, "Yes, Uncle Er, please get me some water to rinse myself."

Although everyone didn't want to care, they still picked up buckets and fetched water from the yard to rinse Xu Damao for the sake of face.

After Xu Damao rushed over, he ran back in embarrassment, leaving the onlookers to talk about his misfortune with glee.

Many people think that Sha Zhu is right. Xu Damao has done a lot of immoral things in recent years, and it is only right that he deserves the retribution he suffers.

Yu Haitang felt relieved when she saw Xu Damao running back in a panic. Such a person deserved this fate.

She turned and went to the alley at the back and bought some cooked food and a bottle of wine.

Li Ping'an finally came back today, and she was very happy.

After returning home, Yu Haitang locked the door. It would be troublesome if someone came in and saw Li Pingan.

After entering the kitchen, Yu Haitang started cooking.

Supplies are now abundant, and you can basically buy whatever you want to eat.

After a short while, Yu Haitang prepared four dishes and a soup and brought them in.

Li Pingan looked at the dishes on the table. There were twice-cooked pork, cold pork head, shredded potatoes, cold cucumbers, and a tomato and egg soup. It was quite a sumptuous meal.

Yu Haitang asked for credit, "Brother-in-law, try it and see how my cooking skills are."

Li Ping'an took the chopsticks and tasted them one by one.

He nodded and said, "Not bad, Haitang, your cooking skills are getting better and better. It seems that you have made some progress in the past few years."

After hearing Li Ping'an's praise, Yu Haitang couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

"Of course, no matter who I am, I have been honing my skills over the past few years. Isn't this worse than what my sister makes?"

"Yeah, it's just like what your sister made. It's delicious."

"It's delicious, brother-in-law, just eat more. I also bought you a bottle of wine, you can drink while you eat."

After saying that, Yu Haitang took out the wine he had just bought, took out two wine glasses, poured a glass for Li Pingan, and poured another glass for himself.

"Come on, brother-in-law. I'll have a drink with you today. Welcome home!"

After saying that, without giving Li Ping'an a chance to speak, this tiger woman drank the wine in her glass in one gulp.

Li Pingan quickly said, "You little girl, why are you drinking? Eat your meal properly!"

After Yu Haitang drank a glass of wine, her face flushed. She said coquettishly, "Brother-in-law, how old am I now? Why do you still think I'm the little girl I used to be?"

Li Pingan finished his drink and said with a smile: "No matter how old you are, before you get married, you are still a little girl to me."

Yu Haitang said unyieldingly, "Humph! Brother-in-law, you are bullying me. No, I will punish you with a drink this time."

After saying that, he poured another glass of wine for Li Pingan.

Li Ping'an drank it in one gulp without saying anything.

"If you want to fine me for drinking, go to the steel mill and ask around. Everyone knows that I'm known as the God of Wine in the steel mill. I've drunk the entire factory's leaders by myself."

"Until now, I have never met a rival in drinking."

What Li Ping'an said was not an exaggeration at all.

With his current physical condition at the foundation-building stage, he could drink as much as he wanted. Normal people would not get him drunk at all.

Yu Haitang also remembered the legend in the factory.

Although Li Ping'an left the steel mill for seven or eight years, many stories about Li Ping'an are still circulating in the steel mill.

For example, even when he was in the most difficult time in the factory, he would still get meat for everyone every now and then.

For example, the song he sang at that conference, "Serving the Country with Loyalty", has become popular all over the country. Everyone who has heard it would say it is beautiful.

There was also a rumor about Li Ping'an's drinking capacity at the steel mill. It was said that he fought dozens of leaders alone. In the end, everyone was carried out, but Li Ping'an continued to work as if nothing had happened.

Yu Haitang heard about these things when she first joined the factory.

This is also the reason why she loves Li Pingan more and more.
