Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"But I really can't suppress my curiosity that's erupting like a volcano! After all, who knows whether Yi Zhonghai is still working hard and serving that tiny place in the southeast?

If there is a chance, I should go and find out what he has to say, hehehe..."

Because of the chance encounter with Zhang Yungui on the road, a lot of precious time was wasted, most of which was spent in telling the police in the small town what happened.

Even though Xu Damao rode his bicycle as fast as the wind and lightning, by the time they arrived at Lam Tsuen, it was already past noon, and they had perfectly missed the lunch time.

"Comrade projectionist, have you had lunch yet?"

The head of Lin Village asked very politely.

"Uh, I've already eaten."

While answering the village chief's question, Xu Damao cast his eyes towards the empty bowls on the tables in the commune and thought to himself: It is obvious that these people have just finished lunch.

"Then rest here for a while. I still have to go to the east to check the situation."

"Okay, no problem. So where should we hold the screening?"

"Let's arrange it here. There is a wide open space in front of the commune."

"Okay, brother, you go ahead and do your work. I'll take a short break and go out for a walk."

Xu Damao stood up and waited until the village chief walked out of the door before slowly sitting back in his chair. He closed his eyes and seemed to be resting, but in fact he was checking whether there was any food that he could eat directly in the space he carried with him.

A closer look revealed that there were all kinds of delicacies in the space: braised beef, sesame cakes, roast duck, braised pig's trotters, braised pork elbows, etc. It was simply everything you could think of.

"Oh my, I really don't know until I see it. When did I save so many delicious foods..." Xu Damao muttered to himself. Although these foods tasted good, it was a cold winter after all, and these foods were all cold. Even with Xu Damao's strong physique, eating these cold foods was completely fine, but he always felt a little weird.

Besides, the commune was crowded with people, so Xu Damao was too embarrassed to eat openly here. If others saw him, they might think that he was a new cadre eating meat secretly...

Thinking of this, Xu Damao quickly stood up, pushed open the gate of the commune, walked out, and began to wander aimlessly in the village.

"Oh, I wonder if there are any beautiful girls or young wives in this village who would feel pity for me when they see me walking outside in the cold weather alone and invite me into their home to rest for a while? Even if it's just to have a cup of hot water..." Xu Damao muttered absentmindedly as he wandered aimlessly in the village.

He walked slowly along two paths, but along the way he didn't see any young girls or wives inviting him, not even a few people.

Finally, he arrived at the east end of the village. Looking at the golden wheat field in front of him, Xu Damao sat down on a bluestone slab at the entrance of the village and planned to have a simple meal here to fill his stomach.

At this moment, there was a "creaking" sound of a door opening. It turned out that the door of a family in the east was opened, and a young woman walked out. At this time, the distance between her and Xu Damao was only about 20 meters.

"My dear boy, why are you sitting outside alone in such a cold day? Come inside and have a cup of hot water to warm yourself up." The woman said to Xu Damao enthusiastically.

As soon as the woman opened the door and walked out, she saw Xu Damao sitting on the stone slab. At this time, Xu Damao was also attracted by the sound coming from outside the door, and turned his head to look. The two people's eyes met in the air and they discovered each other's existence.

"Um... I'm so sorry..."

Xu Damao stood up awkwardly, scratching his head and smiling shyly. His eyes flickered, and he seemed a little unnatural.

The woman was wearing a blue-black coat and thick cotton pants. She had delicate eyebrows, a small and exquisite nose, and cherry-red lips. She looked young, only about 25 or 26 years old, and was a charming little beauty. Moreover, this type of woman just fits the image of young women that Xu Damao liked most in his previous life.

"Oh, it's okay! Come in and have a cup of hot water. Don't sit on the stone. It's so cold. Even the quilt can't be warmed up, let alone the stone. How can you sit on it?"

The woman enthusiastically signaled to Xu Damao not to continue sitting on the cold stone slab, and waved him into the house for tea.

"Then I won't be polite. Thank you for your kindness, sister." Xu Damao gladly accepted the invitation and secretly felt lucky that he met such a kind and enthusiastic woman, hehe.

Xu Damao was just slightly polite and walked straight into the woman's yard.

"Oh, my sister has so many chickens at home!" Xu Damao said in surprise as he looked at the two large chicken coops in the yard. These two chicken coops can raise at least dozens of chickens.

"Yes, I'm a weak woman. I can't do farm work in the fields. I can only rely on raising chickens to support myself. My little brother, you must be very good at working in the fields. Look at your figure, tall and strong." The woman said leisurely, and playfully stretched out her hand to measure her height towards Xu Damao, only to find that she was only up to his shoulder.

"Hehe, you're too kind. I'm just in good health and can do some physical work. But I'm not a professional farmer. I'm a projectionist. This time I came from Beijing to show movies for your village." Xu Damao scratched his head and smiled.

"Oh? Showing movies? That's great! People in our village haven't watched a movie for a long time." The woman said excitedly.

"Yes, I came here this time to show everyone some new things. By the way, I haven't asked what your name is, sister?" Xu Damao asked.

"My name is Lin Jiashuang, you can just call me Shuangjie." The woman replied with a smile.

"Sister Shuang, your yard is really nice and spacious. Do you raise all these chickens yourself?" Xu Damao looked around.

"Well, I raise them all myself. I feed them every day, which takes a lot of effort.

"Then your eggs must be delicious, right?" Xu Damao asked curiously.

"Of course they are delicious! The eggs in my home are pure free-range eggs, rich in nutrition and delicious. When you leave later, I will give you some to take back and try." Shuang Jie said enthusiastically.
