  "Second brother, it's true, I heard it with my own ears when my mom was on the phone. It seemed like one of her friends told her, and at that time, I even asked my mom about it, and she said it was true."

  Xu Zhiyuan smiled mischievously, "Second brother, want to know what your future sister-in-law looks like?"

  "Go on, go on, maybe it's just an old joke of theirs."

  Xu Yi impatiently waved his hand, bent down to pick up his travel bag, unzipped it, and pulled out a 50-yuan bill, tossing it in front of He Cheng. "Little Cheng, this is for you. Be more frugal with your words. In a while, I'll be leaving Beijing, so don't keep showing off anymore. With your small build, you can't even withstand one punch from Bai Mancheng."

  "Brother, I know, today's fight with Bai Mancheng was because he couldn't stand him scolding you."

  He Cheng smiled slyly and said, "Brother, can I really spend all this money?"

  "If you don't want it, just throw it in."

  Xu smiled and opened his travel bag, He Cheng hummed a tune, holding the five 100-yuan bills in front of him with both hands, as if afraid someone would snatch them away. "Brother, you've already given them to me, how can you take them back? It's just what I need to sign up for driving school."

  "Zhiyuan, these are yours, use them sparingly."

  Xu Yi took out five hundred yuan and placed it in front of Xu Zhiyuan, "You're about to graduate soon, there are many places where you'll need to spend money. Interact more with society, understand some human relationships and worldly affairs. Don't think that our old Xu family is very impressive, there are many families in this city of 49 that are more impressive than ours."

  "Moreover, the family's honor has been upheld by our elderly and seniors, we haven't contributed much. Now that the old man is old, it's up to big sister and you two from now on."

  "Brother, you can do it too."

  He Cheng grasped Xu Yi's arm, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but didn't know how to start.

  "I know my own affairs." Xu smiled and shook his head, "Originally I wanted to come back and be a young master who raises fighting cocks and walks dogs with a bird cage, but it turns out that our family's economy is not prosperous. Since you all have important things to do, let me handle this money-making business. From now on, the Xu family will rely on you all."

  As they spoke, footsteps sounded and a fragrance wafted over, it was the waiter bringing dishes.

  Everyone had a great time at this meal, and if it weren't for the sudden appearance of a very annoying coal boss who ruined the atmosphere, this lunch would have been even more perfect. What surprised Qiao Mengqi was that Xu Zhuyu seemed to be very interested in making movies, humbly asking her for advice, which made her feel very comfortable.

  Of course, in Xu Yi's view, the appearance of this coal boss was just in time, so he had a good opportunity to make a fuss about Qiao Mengqi. Since he wanted to enter the Xu family gate, there were many places that needed attention.

  As for the purpose of the fight, at least from what I can see now, the effect is still pretty good. If Qiao Mengqi really likes Xu Zhixuan, it's not impossible to let them be together. When Xu Zhixuan rises to a high position in the future, Qiao Mengqi can also retire and either stop being an actress or become a director.

  "Zhiyuan, I support you guys, but you also have to promise me that you'll do a good job. Big sister is also in politics, but after all, she's a woman, and her achievements are bound to be limited in this male-dominated society. So, the heavy responsibility of our old Lao Xu family now falls on your shoulders."

  Xu Yi patted Xu Zhiyuan's shoulder. "Alright, you guys go have fun, I should head back and rest for a bit too."

  "Second brother, thank you, I remember everything you said." Xu Zhìyuǎn excitedly grabbed Xu Yī's shoulder, "Second brother, let me send you home."

  "No need, you guys go ahead and play, I'd like to walk a bit more on this road and get familiar with the terrain." Xǔ Yī smiled and shook his head, carrying his luggage bag and walking forward slowly.

  "Alright, Third Brother, let Second Brother go. He just got back and should get familiar with the environment of the capital city." He Cheng smiled and waved the five hundred yuan cash in his hand, "Let's go to the bank first, carrying so much cash is really inconvenient."

  Xu Zhiyuan gazed at Xu Yitian's straight and upright back, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes.

  Xu Yi carried his luggage and walked for a whole afternoon, with the help of a map Xu Yi quickly became familiar with several main places in the city center, until sunset, he took a taxi back home.

  "Son, why are you just coming back now? Dinner is almost finished."

  Yuan Fangfei smiled and opened the door, "Go wash your face quickly, rest for a while and then we'll have dinner."

  Xu Yi changed his shoes and glanced at his father sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a newspaper, "Dad, I wandered around by myself for an entire afternoon today, and now I can almost find my way home."

  "You've just come back and aren't familiar with the place yet, it'll be fine after walking around a few more times."

  Xu Zhengchun smiled and put down the newspaper in his hand, leaning back in his chair. "Son, Liu Meng just called me and said that your medicine is very effective. He took it last night after he got home and today he feels much better, no more discomfort in his lower abdomen. He even wants to invite you out for a meal to show his gratitude."

  "Dad, don't worry about dinner, I'll take care of his medical treatment, he's already paid for the consultation fee."

  Hehe smiled and shook his head, "As long as he does what I say, his illness can be completely cured. It's just that at his age, it's still necessary to restrain oneself a bit in certain aspects."

  "You kid, how can you talk like that? Liu Meng is only 53 years old, just a bit older-looking. Alright, alright, go wash your hands quickly, dinner's almost ready."

  Xu was taken aback and didn't understand why his father suddenly became unhappy.

  "By the way, son, Liu Meng also asked me to ask you, can you cure impotence in men?"

  Xu Zhengchun looked at the back of his son and added, muttering to himself, "You little brat, what's the meaning of this age **restraint? Are older people not supposed to enjoy human desires? Moreover, being in one's fifties isn't considered old, is it?"

  It was obvious that Xu Yi didn't think that his own father was only six years older than Liu Meng, and this young man feared nothing more than someone saying they were old.

  "Dad, do I have to exert myself for such a minor illness? " Xǔ Yī chuckled and washed his hands, then came out to see the dining room filled with delicious dishes. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva and pick up a piece of chicken to devour, "Mom, your cooking is really delicious."

  "Enjoy your food, have some more." Yuan Fangfei lovingly looked at Xu Yi, "If you like it, Mom will make delicious food for you often. By the way, son, your grandfather called this afternoon and has arranged everything. Tomorrow morning a car will be sent to take you to driving school. Tonight your brother-in-law is coming back, and we'll have a good family gathering."

  "Mom, don't worry, your son is a genius, learning to drive is a small matter that can be mastered in one or two days."

  Xu smiled and picked up his chopsticks.

  After dinner, Yuan Fangfei cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks. Xu Yizhen accompanied Xu Zhengchun to play Go in the study room. Xu Zhengchun was originally talking about the fierce competition of grassroots training while playing, but he stopped talking and devoted himself wholeheartedly to playing chess. No matter how hard he tried, he still lost to Xu Yi.

  The father and son played three games, Xǔ Zhèngchūn won one game. If Yuán Fāngfēi hadn't come to call him to take a bath, he would have wanted to play another game with Xǔ Yī.

  "Son, you should get some rest too, you still have driving school tomorrow."

  Yuan Fangfei reminded Xu Yi a few words and then pulled the door shut with her hand.

  Xu Yi washed up and returned to his room, sat down cross-legged, and began to circulate the heavenly cycle. This was his daily compulsory course. In fact, the most effective way to enhance true energy is to practice internal family boxing and then circulate the heavenly cycle. It's just that Xu Yi didn't want the true energy in his dantian to be too full, otherwise it would conflict with the yin cold energy in the Zigong acupoint.

  Is that just opening the Zǐ Gōng cavity into a warehouse for storing yīn chén zhēn qì, Xǔ is very interested in this, but recently there are too many things to do, and practicing must be put off.

  The next morning, Xu got up early and practiced a set of internal family fist in the room. This set of fist was created by Chì Sōngzi himself, its prototype is Hua Tuo's Five Animals Play, which combines the advantages of Tai Chi Fist, Bagua Fist and other internal family fist methods, and incorporates Chì Sōngzi's own understanding of Taoism to create a set of fist.

  After dinner, I went downstairs and saw that Lao Ye Zi's car was already parked at the bottom of the building. Wang De Zheng, Lao Ye Zi's driver, was standing beside the car smoking a cigarette.

  "Good job, Wang De."

  Xu Yi hehe smiled and tossed a pack of cigarettes over, Wang De caught the cigarette and grinned, "Xu Yi, you're back from Jiangnan so soon? By the way, I heard you beat up that little brat Bai Mancheng?"

  "You know this too?"

  Xu Yi was taken aback by the words, opened the car door and got in. "Wang De, did your old man ask you to teach me how to drive and then go to your unit's driving range to practice?"

  "Yes, the leader has arranged it this way, everything is already set."

  Wang De quickly started the car, "However, it was not me who taught you how to drive, but the coach from our automobile team training base. Bai Man Cheng is the son of Wujing White Commander, but this kid really has skills, that Taekwondo kung fu is real and he's also the runner-up in the Wujing Sanda competition."

  Xu Yi didn't say anything and stuffed a cigarette into his mouth for a drag.

  The one who taught Xu Yi how to drive was a middle school student, the deputy captain of the car team, named Kuang Jianjun. He had also fought in the northwest and seen blood. While teaching Xu Yi various driving skills, he would occasionally talk about his experiences driving on the steep cliffs of the northwest, with a hint of heroic melancholy.

  In fact, Kuang Jianjun was only thirty-eight years old.

  In less than a day, Xu Yi became proficient in it. Reversing into the warehouse, parallel parking, single-sided bridge and so on, each project was easily passed.

  Xu Yi enthusiastically invited Kuang Jianjun to dinner, but was rejected, so he left his phone number with Kuang Jianjun and reminded him that if anything happened, he must call this number.

  On the way back, it was Xu Yikai who drove. After the initial tension, Xu Yikai slowly got into the state and drove steadily. The first thing Xu Yi did after getting off the car was to call Grandpa to report the good news.

  The old man was also very happy when he received the phone call and kept performing for a while, asking him to come over tomorrow with gifts.

  Xu Yi hung up the phone and walked to the door of his house, only then remembering that today was the day his brother-in-law was coming back. He took out his key and opened the door, and his nose first caught a strong meaty smell, followed by the sight of his sister Xu Lin happily carrying dishes out of the kitchen, while his mother was on the phone in the living room.

  "Sister, where's your husband?"

  Xu Yi changed his shoes and poured himself a glass of water, Xu Lin smiled and said, "In the study room, playing Go with Dad, two stinky chess pots."

  Xu Yi put down his water cup and was about to speak when he saw his mother staring at him in shock, and he couldn't help but pause, "Mom, what's wrong?"

  "Son, you're right, you said it."

  Yuan Fangfei hung up the phone, her face full of excitement, "Li Yuauntie was in a car accident at 11:05 this morning and is still lying in the hospital!"
