Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

Before long, all the dishes were on the table. Xu Damao was not at all shy. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating voraciously.

After a while, the woman came over cautiously carrying a tray.

On the tray was a bowl of steaming egg noodles, accompanied by a plate of boiled peanuts and a plate of fragrant braised tofu.

"Little brother, these peanuts and dried tofu are free for you to taste. You can try them and see how they taste. They are all made by me."

The woman spoke softly, her tone gentle and kind.

When Xu Damao saw this scene, he didn't refuse too much. He directly pulled the big bowl of noodles in front of him and started to swallow it without caring about his image, making bursts of slurping sounds.

"Big sister, please help me pack the food on the table. I will take it away after I finish eating. Also, please calculate how much it will cost in total."

Xu Damao spoke indistinctly with noodles in his mouth.

"No problem, wait a moment, I'll go back and get something."

The woman responded with a smile and turned away.

Not long after, the woman returned to the table with some pieces of kraft paper and skillfully wrapped the braised beef, roast chicken and braised pork ordered by Xu Damao with kraft paper one by one.

While busy, the woman kept watching Xu Damao wolfing down the noodles.

"Little brother, you have such a big appetite! No wonder you can grow so tall and strong." The woman couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing this, Xu Damao took a sip of noodles, then raised his head and his eyes met the pretty girl's. Instantly, his eyes lit up.

Just now, I was only thinking about buying more food to deal with the side effects of the gun fighting potion I took at night, and I didn't look at the woman's face carefully at all.

When the woman approached him while packing, Xu Damao couldn't help but be amazed - the woman in front of him looked extremely similar to the star named Damimi in his previous life!

Although she was wearing a simple blue-gray dress, it was still difficult to conceal her beautiful appearance.

"Sister, do you work in this restaurant, or do you run it?"

Xu Damao immediately started chatting with the woman with great interest.

“This restaurant really belongs to me.”

The woman replied with a smile.

"Are you the only one taking care of this?"

Xu Damao continued to ask.

"Alas... In the past, my husband and I were the only ones looking after this shop, but now there's only one left..."

The woman sighed and answered Xu Damao's question with a somewhat lost tone.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to bring that up. Please forgive me! It must be very hard to run this restaurant by yourself, right?"

"Well... Actually it's not that bad. I just have to prepare every dish myself. Fortunately, there aren't many customers visiting our shop, otherwise I wouldn't be able to handle it all by myself."

The woman smiled slightly, revealing a hint of bitterness and helplessness, but she quickly recovered and gently placed the carefully wrapped brown paper bag next to Xu Damao.

"Hey, little brother, you have your own bicycle at such a young age, that's amazing! What do you do for a living?"

The woman asked curiously.

"You're too kind. It's nothing special. I work as a projectionist at a steel mill in the city. This car was provided to me by the mill. It's not my personal property."

"I see. Even so, it's not easy to get a job in a big company like that! After all, not everyone can get into a place like that. By the way, where are you going to show the film? Can I go over and take a look?"

There was a gleam of anticipation in the woman's eyes.

"It's not near here. It's about twenty miles away from here."

Xu Damao told the truth.

"It's such a long journey, I really can't leave without you. I have to stay here to look after the shop, so I can't leave."

The woman showed regret.

"Sister, is your restaurant open in the morning?"

"If there's no one in the morning, the door won't be open."

"Oh, I see. Sister, your restaurant is closed in the morning! That's a shame. I was thinking of coming over to try it tomorrow morning."

Xu Damao said with a regretful expression.

"Yes, we are usually open at noon and in the evening. But little brother, I heard you say just now that you are going to show a movie in the evening? Why will you wait until tomorrow morning to come back?"

Sister Yang asked curiously.

Xu Damao scratched his head and explained with a smile:

"Sister, you don't know that movies usually don't start until dark, and after a movie ends, it's already very late. I can't rush back in the middle of the night, right?"

"Little brother, don't call me sister anymore. My last name is Yang, so you can just call me Sister Yang." So after the movie, you have to find a place to stay in the local village, spend the night there, and then rush back to the city the next day."

"Oh, I didn't expect that being a projectionist is also very hard!"

Sister Yang sighed.

"By the way, I haven't asked you your last name yet?"

"My last name is Xu Damao. Sister Yang, you can just call me that from now on." Xu Damao replied quickly.

"Okay, Brother Xu." Sister Yang nodded with a smile, and then asked with concern: "Do you have to find a place to stay by yourself every time you finish showing a movie? That's so inconvenient!"

"That's right! Sometimes we are unlucky and can't find a suitable place to stay nearby, so we can only find a place in the wild to spend the night.

It would be fine if the weather was warm, but now it's freezing cold and I can't stand staying outside overnight, so I have to hurry back home overnight."

Xu Damao deliberately made himself sound pitiful in order to arouse Sister Yang's sympathy.

He secretly calculated in his mind that if he could just make this beautiful Sister Yang feel pity, maybe he would have a chance next time... Hehe, then everything would fall into place!

"It's freezing cold tonight. How about this? After the movie, if you can't find a place to stay, just stay at my place. I have plenty of empty rooms anyway."

Sister Yang said with a heroic smile, but there seemed to be a deeper meaning in her words...

When Xu Damao heard this, a light flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself: Oh...this damn handsome, but his face showed a little embarrassment.

"Is this...is this really okay? Will it cause you any trouble?"

Xu Damao asked hesitantly.

"Of course not! It's not a bother at all. I'm just trying to help! If you can't find a suitable place to stay at night, remember to come and find Sister Yang. We have a deal!"

Sister Yang responded promptly.
