Jia Dongxu asked casually: "Xu Damao, did you bring a cigarette?"

Xu Damao is very shrewd and is not easy to deceive. He must make good preparations.

"I brought it. Here, I'll give you one."

Xu Damao nodded, took out a pack of large front doors, shook out two sticks, and handed one to Jia Dongxu.

Immediately, he used a match to light Jia Dongxu's cigarette first, and then lit his own cigarette.

I have to say that when Xu Damao asked for help, he really knew how to behave, and he acted like a loser.

Jia Dongxu took a deep puff and then slowly blew out a smoke ring.

"Brother, I didn't expect that you don't smoke much, but you still do this."

Xu Damao is extremely envious of Jia Dongxu's unique skill of blowing out smoke rings.

Jia Dongxu didn't say anything. Before he traveled through time, he was always eating, drinking and having fun. It was just a shame to blow out smoke rings.

After taking a few puffs of cigarette and feeling that his emotions were almost brewing, Jia Dongxu sighed: "Xu Damao, this has to be you."

"You noticed my changes so quickly. You are indeed the smartest person among the younger generation in our courtyard."

Xu Damao nodded proudly: "Of course, how could you hide it from me?"

"Xu Damao, your feeling is not wrong. I have indeed become a lot smarter. There is a reason for this."

"Why, please tell me carefully."

"This is a long story."

"Then you should keep your story short and tell the most important points."

"Let's do this. You give me two dollars now. You go home and prepare some food to go with the wine. I'll have some food at home and then go over to have a drink with you and talk in detail."

Hearing this, Xu Damao showed a vigilant expression and asked with confusion: "Jia Dongxu, I treat you as a brother, are you trying to cheat me out of two dollars again?"

Jia Dongxu said with a straight face, pretending to be angry: "Da Mao, why did you say you lied to you again? Have I lied to you before?"

"We are brothers, and you actually suspect that I lied to you. This makes me so sad."

Xu Damao didn't say anything. He always suspected that Jia Dongxu had cheated him out of the one dollar last time.

Jia Dongxu shook his head and said: "Xu Damao, do you think you lost money when you gave me two yuan? When I explain it to you in detail, you will understand that you made a lot of money."

"Okay, stop talking. I believe you. Isn't it just two dollars? I'll give it to you. I'll go back and prepare the food and drinks in a moment."

Xu Damao took out two dollars and handed it to Jia Dongxu with a pained look on his face.

He felt that he couldn't beat Jia Dongxu, but the more he couldn't beat Jia Dongxu, the more he wanted to find out how Jia Dongxu became smart.

"That's right. It's only two yuan. You can't buy it and you won't be deceived. I'm going back first. I'll go to your house later to have a drink and have a long chat."

Jia Dongxu put two dollars into his pocket, hugged Xu Damao's shoulders, then turned and left.

When I got back to my home, I saw the cheap mother Jia Zhang was already cooking slowly.

Not long after, the food was ready and the family of three started eating.

The staple food is steamed buns with Erhe noodles, and the vegetables are a plate of Chinese cabbage and a plate of carrots.

"Mom, can you put more salt? This dish is too bland."

Jia Dongxu took a few bites of the food and found that there seemed to be no salt in the food, so he couldn't help but speak.

"If you think I'm not doing a good job, you can make it yourself. I'm at this level. I can't eat it if I like it."

Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted dissatisfiedly, and then ate her food.

"Huai Ru, go get the soy sauce and add more soy sauce to the dishes."

Jia Dongxu knew that Jia Zhang was sabotaging her work, so he ignored her and asked Qin Huairu to get the soy sauce.

Jia Zhang immediately said: "Soy sauce is so expensive, you are really a waste of money."

"Qin Huairu, don't go get the soy sauce. Just have a meal first. I'll just put a little more salt in it next time."

Indeed, soy sauce is much more expensive than salt in this era.

Many families usually only use soy sauce when cooking meat dishes.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu asked a little embarrassedly: "Brother, do you want to take it or not?"

"Here, I am the head of the family, just listen to me." Jia Dongxu said firmly.

Soon, Qin Huairu got up and brought the soy sauce. Jia Dongxu took the soy sauce and poured it down.

"Okay, this is too much, just have some flavor!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang dissuaded her with a pained look on her face.

But Jia Dongxu didn't pay any attention to Jia Zhang. He didn't stop pouring soy sauce until he tasted the food and it tasted just right.

"Humph! I can't cure you yet?" Jia Dongxu secretly laughed in his heart.

The three of them started eating again.

Jia Zhang eats fast and a lot as always.

Not long after, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and burped.

Qin Huairu ate with gusto, her face filled with happiness.

Jia Dongxu stopped eating after he was half full.

He put down the bowl and chopsticks and said with a smile: "Huairu, you can eat as much of the remaining food as you can. Don't go hungry, but don't hold on too much."

Qin Huairu asked with concern on her face: "Brother, why don't you eat? You are a grown man and you need to eat more."

The concept she has accepted since she was a child is that eating and drinking must be dependent on the men in the family.

This is also the reason why she eats the slowest.

She had to wait until Jia Dongxu was full before eating the last remaining food.

"Don't worry, your man is not hungry. Xu Damao asked me for something and prepared some food for me. I will go over first and you can eat slowly."

Jia Dongxu explained with a smile, then got up and walked out of the house and rushed to Xu Damao's house in the backyard.

The Xu family in the backyard.

Xu’s mother is cooking food.

The situation of the Xu family is that Xu’s father works in a movie theater and has a dormitory room.

When the children grew up, it was inconvenient for their family of four to live in these two rooms, so Xu's father lived in the dormitory.

Xu Damao suddenly came back and told Xu's mother that he would invite Jia Dongxu to have a drink and ask her to cook some dishes to go with the wine.

She readily agreed to this request.

She also participated in tonight's hospital-wide meeting and found that Jia Dongxu was different from before, full of intelligence.

She felt that if Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu got closer, there would be only advantages and no disadvantages.

At this time, Jia Dongxu opened the door curtain and walked in.

"Dongxu, you're here, please sit down."

Xu Damao came up to him with a smile and pulled Jia Dongxu to sit down.

"Hello, Brother Dongxu!"

Xu Damao's sister Xu Fengling shyly stepped forward to say hello to Jia Dongxu.

In the original work, Xu Fengling did not appear, but it was only mentioned that Xu Damao had such a sister.

When he grew up, he worked in a food factory, and later married into an ordinary family and lived an ordinary life.

At this time, Xu Fengling was only twelve years old. She was not outstanding in appearance, but she was petite and cute. She went to Hongxing Elementary School.

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he was stunned.

The original owner and Xu Fengling barely spoke to each other. When they met in the courtyard, they all passed by like strangers.

Xu Fengling took the initiative to come over and say hello to him, which surprised Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu smiled and nodded: "Hello, sister Fengling."

"Come on, Dongxu, let's drink first. My mother has the last dish to go with the wine, which will be fried soon."

Xu Damao took out a bottle of Maotai, opened it, and poured wine for Jia Dongxu enthusiastically.

I have to say that the conditions at Xu Damao's family are really good. His father often receives gifts while working in a movie theater.

I always have two or three bottles of Maotai liquor in my collection.

Of course, this is just ordinary Moutai and cannot be compared with the special Moutai.

But even ordinary Moutai is considered a high-end wine.

One dollar and fifty cents a bottle, two bottles is almost the cost of lunch for a steel rolling mill worker for a month.

"Come on, brother, let's have a drink!"

Jia Dongxu took the initiative to raise his small glass and had a drink with Xu Damao.

He completely regards this as his own home and has no discomfort at all.

Even though this is his first time entering Xu Damao's house.

The two of them drank a few small drinks while going back and forth.

Soon, Xu’s mother brought over the last dish to go with the wine.

Jia Dongxu smiled and greeted Xu's mother: "Aunt Xu, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Xu's mother smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, you two can chat slowly."
