Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"Okay then. I'll take it. But... could you please not take your hand out? Just put it in my pocket. It's quite warm..."

Xu Damao showed a barely perceptible smile on his face and teased Lou Xiao'e deliberately.

"okay."

Lou Xiao'e responded with a red face, and her little hand remained obediently in Xu Damao's pocket. A sweet and warm atmosphere filled the air between the two of them.

In this way, they arrived at the ghost market. After Xu Damao parked his bicycle, he carefully helped Lou Xiaoe get off the bicycle, and then the two of them walked side by side and slowly began to stroll around.

The lights here are dim, the voices are noisy, and there are all kinds of strange and weird items on display, which are dazzling.

"Xiao'e, the pear juice over there is almost ready, go buy two cups of rock sugar pear juice. Hey, I saw there is an empty space here, so I decided to set up a stall here!"

After saying that, Xu Damao stuffed ten yuan into Lou Xiao'e's hand, sent her away, parked his bicycle, took out a tattered straw mat, and spread it next to a stall selling fur goods.

Then, he began to pretend to take out a bunch of things from the basket and put them on the straw mat. He ran back and forth several times, carefully placing the extremely precious green pottery figurine dog from the Western Han Dynasty in the most conspicuous position on the straw mat.

After everything was ready, Xu Damao caught a glimpse of a beautiful white leather hat on the stall next door. He grabbed it without saying a word, stroking it carefully and checking the quality.

Xu Damao asked, "Brother, how much do you sell this hat for?"

The stall owner next door was delighted, secretly thinking that business had come, and quickly replied: "Hey, brother, you really have a good eye! This hat is made of snow fox fur. Look at the white fox fur on it, it's so clean without even a stray hair. We are all here to make a living, so I won't ask you for more. Just one price, three dollars!"

"Not bad, let me take another look." Xu Damao thought to himself that this hat really looked like it was made of real snow fox fur, and the price was reasonable. He picked up a leather jacket next to him and compared it with his own body.

"Brother, do you have a bigger size for this leather jacket? This one seems a little too small. It would be great if you could also help me pick out a leather hat that fits me."

As the weather gets colder, Xu Damao has to ride his bike around every day to show movies, so he must buy a set of equipment that can withstand the cold wind and keep warm.

"Okay, brother, I'll help you find it right away. Since you want to buy so many things, I will definitely give you the most affordable price!"

When the fur stall owner heard that Xu Damao was going to continue selecting goods, he immediately became enthusiastic - after all, it was rare to find a customer who would buy several items at a time, and he hadn't been able to make a single sale today.

"My dear, you are really strong and sturdy. Most leather jackets may be a little small for you, but how about this one?"

As the stall owner spoke, he handed a leather coat to Xu Damao and asked him to try it on.

"This is the only style of leather coat left in the store. I'm afraid the other common leather coats will look too tight on you. Why don't you try this coat first? It might fit you. I'll get you a leather hat."

"Okay, I'll try it on."

Without saying anything, Xu Damao took the fur coat and put it on. It was a pity that there was no mirror big enough for him to see how handsome he looked in the coat, but the feeling alone made him feel satisfied.

"Look awesome, bro! You look so impressive in this leather jacket, and the dark brown color suits you so well!"

The stall owner walked over holding a black leather hat. When his eyes fell on Xu Damao, he couldn't help but blurt out praises for him.

"Try this hat. Untie the string on top to put down the earmuffs, then tie the string under your chin. It guarantees warmth!"

"No need, I'll just try it out to see if it fits."

As Xu Damao spoke, he put the hat on his head and was surprised to find that the size fit so well.

"I've bought all three of these. Just make your offer, brother. Please give me the actual price as agreed before."

"Of course. The white fur hat is three yuan, and the fur coat... just give me fifteen yuan for the fur coat. As for this black fur hat, I'll give it to you for free just to make friends with you!"

The fur stall owner said this in a generous manner.

"Okay! But I have to try the white hat on to see if it's too big or too small. I'll have to change it for another one."

As Xu Damao spoke, he played with the white hat in his hands.

"Hey, brother, what you said is not a big deal. If the size doesn't fit, you can change it at will! But I don't know if there is a second white fox hat. I have to go look for it."

The stall owner waved his hands quickly, showing his generosity and magnanimity.

Hearing the stall owner say this, Xu Damao nodded with relief and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you very much, big brother!" After that, he took out 18 yuan from his pocket, counted it, handed it to the fur stall owner, and said: "Big brother, count it."

However, the stall owner didn't care at all and replied with a smile: "I trust you, brother." After that, he took the money and put it directly into his arms without counting it.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e also came over with two porcelain cups with lids. She looked at Xu Damao with some curiosity and asked, "When I went there just now, the snow pear water was not ready yet. I waited there for a few minutes. Damao, why did you change your clothes?"

Xu Damao proudly showed off the new clothes he had just bought, and then mysteriously took out a white hat and handed it to Lou Xiaoe, saying gently: "This is specially picked for you, try it on and see if it fits."

Xu Damao gestured to the fur stall next to him, then carefully put the snow-white fox fur hat in his hand on Lou Xiaoe's head, and put the pear water on the straw mat beside him.

Lou Xiao'e gently reached out her hand and adjusted the position of the hat, secretly marveling at how perfectly it fit.

"This hat is actually made of leather, it must be very expensive! Damao, you really don't have to spend money to buy these things for me..."

Although Lou Xiao'e said this, her eyes were full of joy and satisfaction, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, as if she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart.
