Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

Her voice was very soft and she seemed a little shy. Seeing this, Xu Damao smiled and enthusiastically took a chicken leg and put it in Lin Jiashuang's bowl, saying, "Come on, Shuangjie, try this big chicken leg! It's so delicious!"

Lin Jiashuang looked up at Xu Damao, a trace of gratitude in his eyes. He took a bite of the chicken leg, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

After the meal, Xu Damao said goodbye to Lin Jiashuang. When he left the hospital, Xu Damao's movements seemed a little furtive, as if he was guilty of something, and he was obviously afraid of being discovered by someone with ulterior motives.

I'm not afraid of anything, but I'm afraid that people in the village will see me and gossip about Shuangjie. After all, in this era, people attach great importance to reputation, and rumors can really kill people.

If it were in Xu Damao's previous life, no one would say anything even if he came and went openly. It must be said that people's minds open up very quickly...

After quickly walking out of the yard, his steps became light and rapid, as if pushed by an invisible force, and he walked quickly towards the direction of the village commune.

When we arrived at the square outside the commune, it was already bustling with activity. Since the village loudspeaker had announced in advance that a movie would be shown here, many villagers had already gathered here and were waiting impatiently. With the help of two strong men, Xu Damao skillfully set up the huge movie screen and then began to adjust the projection equipment to prepare for the movie.

Although it was a cold winter with low temperatures, it did not stop people from watching the movie. Most villagers came, including some innocent children, who were wearing worn-out cotton clothes and playing and laughing happily around.

Xu Damao stretched his neck curiously and looked around. Suddenly, his eyes fell on a corner. It turned out that Lin Jiashuang was watching the movie alone. She looked a little lonely and there was no one else around.

After the movie ended, when Xu Damao packed up all the equipment, the villagers had almost all dispersed, with only a few people still gathering together to chat.

After packing the last item and putting it into the basket at the back of the bicycle, Xu Damao pushed the bicycle slowly into the commune compound.

"Oh, comrade projectionist, you've worked so hard! Look, it's so late at night, and you still have to make a trip to show movies for our village. Come on, rest in this room tonight, don't mind!" The village chief greeted Xu Damao with a smile on his face, and took out a Daqianmen cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him.

Xu Damao didn't bother to be polite with the village chief. He took the cigarette and put it between his ears without saying anything, then parked his bicycle. Then, after chatting with the village chief for a few irrelevant and meaningless polite words, he couldn't wait to get into the room.

"Then you should have a good rest first. Just let me know if you need anything. It's time for me to go home." The village chief was quite good at dealing with people. After giving a brief explanation, he turned around and left the commune to go home.

The room was not big and was simply furnished with only a small bed, a wooden table and a chair. The bed was covered with a thick quilt, which looked quite comfortable.

Xu Damao stayed in the room for a while and felt a little bored, so he decided to go out for a walk. He walked out of the room and came to the yard. He looked around and after confirming that there was no one else around, he jumped over the wall.

Along the way, Xu Damao was extremely cautious, fearing that his whereabouts would be discovered. Finally, he arrived at Lin Jiashuang's door smoothly. He pushed the door open lightly, and heard a "clang" sound, and the shabby wooden door made a slight sound.

"Hey, doesn't this sister know that I'm coming tonight? Why did she lock the gate? Does it mean that she no longer recognizes me after she put on her clothes?"

Xu Damao made random guesses in his mind as he walked towards a nearby wall. When he reached the wall, he jumped without hesitation, grabbed the top of the wall with both hands, and then pushed his arms hard, and his whole body easily crossed the wall. When he landed, he squatted down lightly, making almost no sound.

Xu Damao pushed the door of the main room lightly and found that it was not locked. In order to avoid making any noise when opening the door, he lifted the door carefully and then slipped into the room.

The main room was empty, so it seemed that Lin Jiashuang was in the inner room. Xu Damao walked towards the inner room without hesitation.

"Ah! Are you Damao?" As soon as Xu Damao stepped into the room, he heard Lin Jiashuang exclaim, and then called out his name.

Lin Jiashuang sat quietly on the bed, holding her chin with her right hand, thinking about the pleasant things she had done with Xu Damao in the room in the afternoon. Just as she was immersed in it, a tall black shadow suddenly broke into her room without a sound. This sudden change scared her.

She looked carefully and saw that the burly black shadow was Xu Damao himself!

"It's me, Shuangjie. Didn't we agree to stay at your house tonight? Why did you close the gate? Did Shuangjie start to hate me?" Xu Damao said with a bitter face. Although Lin Jiashuang couldn't see his expression, he could still hear the deep resentment in his words.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I really didn't mean it. I locked the door out of habit when I got home. After all, there are so many chickens in the yard, and I have to be on guard against chicken thieves. But how did you get in? You walked without making any sound, like a ghost, and I was scared!" Lin Jiashuang hurriedly explained to Xu Damao.

"Hey, this wall can't stop me, Sister Shuang. Are you going to bed so early?" Xu Damao asked with a smile.

"Why not sleep? Going to bed early can save some kerosene." Although Li Jiashuang said this, she honestly picked up the matchbox, skillfully took out a match, and lightly struck it. With a "sizzle", the match was instantly ignited, and a small orange flame emerged. She carefully directed the weak fire to the worn-out kerosene lamp, and the wick gradually ignited, emitting a dim and warm light.

"Sister Shuang, are you short of money? That shouldn't be the case, after all, there are so many chickens laying eggs outside." Xu Damao asked puzzledly.

Lin Jiashuang sighed: "Da Mao, chickens also need to eat! In this winter, there is nothing to feed them, we have to spend money to buy it." As he spoke, the light of the kerosene lamp became brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire room, and the originally dark corners became clearly visible.
