"Third Uncle, I'm so sorry."

Yan Bugui waved his hand: "It's nothing. I've long since come to terms with it. Life is just like that. If the kids still remember me as their father, they can come back and visit. If they don't, that's fine too. I won't force them."

Yan Bugui had clearly come to terms with it, and was obviously quite hurt by the children, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a remark.

The world should not have a nursing home like He Yuzhu's; this is in line with the normal development of the world.

Although it is cruel, every cause has its effect.

"How is Second Uncle now? Is he still able to come out?"

Yan Bugui sighed and said, "Look, he died in the second year! The neighborhood committee witnessed the house being left to his eldest son, Liu Guangqi. Guangfu only came once when his second uncle died, and he didn't even show up when he was critically ill. It was Guangtian and I who stayed by his bedside to see him off on his final journey. Guangqi only rushed back after the ceremony was over."

Xiao Shan was speechless after hearing Yan Bugui's words!

Unexpectedly, Liu Haizhong remained biased towards his boss, Liu Guangqi, even until his death!

Just then, Xu Damao's voice came from outside: "Third Uncle, bring some peanuts and a bottle of Erguotou."

Xiao Shan walked out of the small shop and immediately saw Xu Damao.

A few years ago, Xu Damao got an investment from Xiaoshan and opened a movie theater in Beijing. He did quite well.

Basically, every time Xiao Shan returns to Beijing, he chats with Xu Damao.

Although Xu Damao has a new house outside, he still lives in this courtyard with his wife and children.

In his words, he's used to living here and doesn't like living outside!

Xiao Shan smiled and said to Xu Damao, "Brother Mao, you're so cool! Drinking in broad daylight."

Xu Damao turned his head, saw Xiao Shan, and smiled, saying, "Xiao Shan, you're back?"

"Yes, I just arrived today!" Xiao Shan nodded.

"That's great! Come on, let's have a drink!" Xu Damao stepped forward and pulled Xiao Shan along.

“No problem!” Xiao Shan said to Yan Bugui, “If you have time, Third Uncle, come along too! It’s been so many years, and there are fewer and fewer familiar faces in the courtyard.”

Yan Bugui nodded: "I'll be there soon. Anyway, there aren't many people buying things at this time."

“Okay, Xiaoshan and I will go to my house first. Uncle San, you can come over as soon as you’ve packed up,” Xu Damao said to Yan Bugui.

Xu Damao then led Xiao Shan directly to the backyard.

"The earthquake shelter has been demolished, and it's much more spacious than before!" Xiao Shan said, looking at Xu Damao.

Xu Damao said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about it; the neighborhood committee ordered the demolition."

Xiao Shan opened his own door, stayed in his room for a while, and reminisced about the bits and pieces of the past few years.

After a while, Xiao Shan locked the door again before going to Xu Damao's house.

Xu Damao's house has been renovated and looks much better than before.

"Xiao Shan, have a seat. I didn't prepare anything in advance, so let's keep it simple." Xu Damao said with a smile when he saw Xiao Shan come in. "I haven't eaten the chicken stewed by Haitang this morning! I'll also fry some eggs and some peanuts. Just don't mind."

Xiao Shan laughed and said, "You're too kind. Back when we were drinking together, this was considered a feast."

Soon Yan Bugui also arrived carrying a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).

The three drank for more than two hours before finally leaving.

Xiao Shan went to the Intermediate People's Court and saw that He Yuzhu's house had obviously been uninhabited for a long time.

"Uncle, has Brother Zhu moved out too?" Xiao Shan asked Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui replied without hesitation, "Yes, I moved a long time ago. I heard I bought the house through a food delivery platform. You know He Yuzhu's skills; he's probably made a lot of money over the years. Buying a house is a piece of cake for him."

Xiao Shan nodded; He Yuzhu's skills were indeed excellent.

After leaving the courtyard, Xiao Shan went to talk to Tan Chengjia again.

In the evening, Xiao Shan drove to the restaurant owned by He Yuzhu and his wife.

Once inside, a waiter came to greet us.

Xiao Shan scanned the entire hall and immediately spotted Li Caijuan standing at the front desk.

"Sister-in-law, it's been years, but you still look as beautiful as ever!" Xiao Shan stepped forward and greeted her.

Li Caijuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Shan carefully and said, "It's Xiao Shan! You're back today? I'll go call Zhu Zi right now. It's been years since we last met. You two brothers can have a couple of drinks."

Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Let Brother Zhu get busy first! I'd also like to see if Brother Zhu's cooking has improved over the years."

“Zhu Zi hardly cooks himself anymore; he mostly instructs his apprentices! Ma Hua and Liu Lan from the steel mill used to work here! Now Ma Hua is in charge of the cooking at the restaurant,” Li Caijuan explained to Xiao Shan.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law!"

Soon, He Yuzhu came out of the kitchen.

Despite not having seen him for several years, He Yuzhu still looked energetic, clearly having done well in recent years.

"Brother, it's been so many years! Come on, let's go to the private room. I'll have Ma Hua cook some of his best dishes. Tonight, let's drink until we drop!" He Yuzhu said happily when he saw Xiao Shan.

Once inside the private room, after a few drinks, they started chatting.

He Daqing visited at the beginning of this year, and the changed state of the courtyard made He Yuzhu feel somewhat emotional.

He Yuzhu said with some sadness, "Watching my old neighbors die one by one, even though we weren't that close, we'd known each other for decades and lived in the same courtyard for decades. Suddenly, they all died, and I felt a deep emptiness in my heart!"

"Later, I couldn't stand this feeling anymore, so I moved out! The children have grown up, and I can focus my energy on running the restaurant and save some money for my son and daughter."

Xiao Shan nodded in agreement: "Brother Zhu is right. Living in a courtyard house is too oppressive! Brother Zhu, do you have any news about Sister-in-law Jia? How is she doing now?"

"I haven't looked into the details, but I've heard others mention it. After Banggeng died, Sister Qin suffered a mental breakdown and stayed home to recuperate for more than half a year before she went back to selling pancakes at her stall."

"I haven't heard about it in the last two years. You know how busy I am right now, I simply don't have time to inquire about Sister Qin's situation."

Xiaoshan expressed his understanding.

Xiao Shan drank with He Yuzhu until after 11 p.m. before finally returning home.

In the days that followed, Xiao Shan toured his businesses throughout Beijing and took care of some matters.

That day, Xiao Shan had just finished inspecting a Shiweitian chain store when he noticed a familiar figure on the street, skillfully making pancakes.

A four- or five-year-old boy was with him.

Xiao Shan parked the car on the side of the road and walked over, saying, "Give me a pancake."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu looked up and immediately spotted Xiao Shan at the stall.

Qin Huairu smiled and said to Xiao Shan, "Xiao Shan, I didn't expect to see you again!"

"Sister Qin, this must be your son. He looks so cute!"

Hearing Xiao Shan praise his son, Qin Huairu smiled and nodded: "Yes, I named him Li Ping'an. I hope he can live a long and peaceful life."

Xiao Shan understood Qin Huairu's concerns; the Jia family, spanning three generations, had all died, leaving only two girls.

Her remarried husband is dead, and it seems her mother-in-law is probably gone too, otherwise Qin Huairu wouldn't be taking care of the child.

Xiao Shan recounted what had happened at the courtyard house, and Qin Huairu said with some emotion, "I haven't been back to the courtyard house for a long time. I didn't expect so many things to have happened. Your pancakes are ready, eat them!"

Xiao Shan took the pancake, took a bite, and said, "Sister-in-law's cooking skills are unparalleled."

After chatting with Qin Huairu for a while and learning about her current situation, Xiao Shan drove away.

Li Ping'an looked at the departing driveway and asked, "Mom, who was that uncle?"

"We used to be neighbors, and I guess we won't have much contact with each other anymore." Qin Huairu now feels that she is getting further and further away from Xiaoshan.

If it weren't for our long-standing neighborly relationship, and Xiaoshan's continued remembrance of the past, we probably wouldn't have met today.

After spending more than a month in Beijing, Xiaoshan headed to Shenzhen to begin investing in inland manufacturing.

When Xiao Shan learned that he was going to invest in manufacturing in mainland China, his eldest son, Xiao Jingyan, was quite curious: "Dad, why are you going to invest so much in manufacturing in mainland China? At present, our input and output are not proportional at all."

Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Because manufacturing is the foundation of everything. Especially high-end manufacturing. The reason why developed countries in Europe and America are developed is because they control high-end manufacturing and use industry barriers to arbitrarily harvest the remaining developing countries. If we want to develop now, we can't let them harvest us."

Xiao Jingyan nodded, indicating her understanding of Xiao Shan's words.

After Xiao Jingyan left her study, Xiao Shan turned his attention to the chat group.

At this moment, Wang Quanba was discussing in the chat group his preparations for a battle against the three young masters of Aolai Kingdom.

The chat group members naturally expressed their support for Wang Quanbaye's idea.

The headquarters of the Yi Qi Dao Alliance in the world of Fox Spirit Matchmaker.

After ending the chat among the group members, Wang Quanbaye activated the live streaming function of the chat group.

Afterwards, Wang Quanba sent out a clone to keep Wang Quanzui and the others away from the area, ensuring that no one was within a fifty-mile radius and would not interfere with his battle. Then, he closed his eyes and waited quietly.

Tushan, under the tree of bitterness.

In the end, Tu Shan Hong Hong persuaded several elders to agree that the Tu Shan lineage should cultivate demonic power and abolish the tradition of the Red Thread Fairy.

Currently, a group of high-ranking members of Tushan, led by Tushan Honghong, are creating Tushan martial arts techniques.

Outside the headquarters of the One Qi Dao Alliance, after watching the sword energy disappear, Wang Quanzui led all the high-ranking members of the One Qi Dao Alliance to retreat again and again, until they reached the distance stipulated by Wang Quanbaye before stopping.

Looking worriedly in the direction of the headquarters of the Qi Dao Alliance, Wang Quanzui was filled with concern about the decisive battle between his elder brother and the three young masters of Aolai Kingdom.

Half an hour later, a golden light shot down from the distant horizon and arrived directly one hundred meters in front of Wang Quanbaye.

The golden light vanished, revealing a monkey clad in golden armor, holding an iron rod.

"The mist of Aolai, the fragrance of flowers and fruits, the Dinghai staff, and all demons pay homage! The Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom, I have long admired your name."

Wang Quanba opened his eyes and calmly gazed at the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom, the strongest among the demon race, and the former chosen one of destiny who carved out the inner world to protect the beings of this world.

The Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom gazed at Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye and said calmly, "I admire what Alliance Leader Wang Quan has done. To be honest, I really don't want to fight you! But the human and demon races must eventually determine who is superior. If I win this battle, the human race's ten thousand miles of territory will become a cage for the human race. No human race can leave the ten thousand miles of territory, and the demon race will not exterminate the human race."

"Thank you for your kindness, Third Young Master. If I win this battle, the demon race will stay in their own territory and will never be able to leave. The human race will not exterminate them." Wang Quan Baye also laughed as he announced the punishment for the demon race.

Then, the Wangquan Sword flashed behind Wangquan Baye and appeared in his hand, his eyes instantly becoming sharp.

Countless sword energies surged forth, covering an area of ​​several miles in radius, forming a sword domain.

"interesting!"

The Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom watched as Wang Quanba's sword domain took shape, but he did not interfere. Instead, he held an iron rod and stood in the void. Within a hundred meters, there was no sword energy.

After seeing the sword domain take shape, Wang Quanbaye charged towards the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom with the Wang Quan Sword in hand.

At the same time, figures began to materialize in the Sword Domain, wielding sword intent and rushing towards the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom from all directions.

"Alright!" The Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom looked at the Wangquan Sword slashing towards him, raised his iron rod, and blocked the attack.

Then, as Wang Quanba and the three young masters of Aolai Kingdom unleashed their full power, the entire area within a dozen miles began to tremble.

As time went on, the tremors became more and more frequent, and more and more cracks appeared in the sky and on the ground.

For a long time, neither side could gain the upper hand.

After the sword domain dissipated, Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye retreated several hundred meters. Looking at the cracks that appeared on the Wang Quan Sword in his hand, he said to the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom with emotion, "As expected of the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom! I have a sword for you to taste."

The Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom hadn't fought like this in a long time, and he felt his fighting spirit was about to burst forth. He stared intently at Wang Quanba Ye and said, "Good, that's exhilarating!"

"I call this sword strike 'Eternal Sword'!" Wang Quanbaye used his self-created secret technique, looked down at the three young masters of Aolai Kingdom who were on high alert, and laughed.

Then, a dazzling light flashed, and Wang Quanbaye appeared five meters behind the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom, with a large amount of blood flowing from his body.

"What a swift sword strike! A sword that pierces heaven and earth, a sword that commands the king's power and dominance, truly living up to its name!" The Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom looked down at the broken iron rod in his hand and the bloody hole pierced through his body, chuckled with emotion, and slowly collapsed to the ground.

"In the end, I still won!" Wang Quanbaye dragged his battered body and looked at the unconscious Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom.

He managed to save his life with his own eternal sword, which shows his skill. Wang Quanbaye had no intention of killing him afterwards.

After determining the direction, Wang Quanba returned to the headquarters of the Yi Qi Dao Alliance, leaving a sword aura clone behind. In the main hall that had been saved during the fight between the two, he began to recover from his injuries.

Half an hour later, Wang Quanba had recovered from his physical injuries, but the damage to his mind and spirit would take time to heal.

After glancing at the comments in the live stream, Wang Quan Baye immediately closed the live stream.
