Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"No need, little brother. It's just a cup of tea. Just forget it if you forgot to bring money."

The old man said with a smile on his face.

"How can that be possible? I am also a businessman, and I value honesty and fairness. You are a boy and an old man, how can I not pay you?"

Xu Damao waved his hand as he spoke and reached into the basket to take out a strip of pork weighing about two pounds, which was more fat than lean, and handed it to the old man.

"No, no! It's just a cup of tea, how can you exchange it for this? Take it, little brother!"

"You can keep it, old man. I have a lot of this stuff, so I'm not short of it."

"This is too much!"

"Take it."

Seeing that the old man refused to accept it, Xu Damao directly handed the rope skewering the meat to the child, then quickly got on his bike and rode away.

Xu Damao whistled and rode his bicycle unsteadily, looking as leisurely as a second-rate person.

When he was almost at Niuwang Temple, Xu Damao saw radishes in the roadside vegetable fields. He couldn't help but think of pork ribs and radish soup in his mind. He stood up with his feet on the pedals of the bicycle and looked around. Hey, there was no one!

After putting the bicycle away, he entered the vegetable garden like a thief, took out a small shovel, and started digging!

Xu Damao dug up seven or eight radishes and put them all into his portable space before he stopped.

Even if someone came over at this time, Xu Damao could just cry "stop thief", after all, he had no stolen goods on his body or in his car, and he could just say that he just came down to fertilize the vegetable field.

Xu Damao rode his bicycle at a steady speed and reached his destination in less than an hour.

The old village chief came to receive them as usual. Xu Damao became familiar with the situation and began to direct the men who came to help move things.

"Hey, little brother, how about letting my wife sit in the front row later?"

The man who worked the hardest came close to Xu Damao and smiled innocently.

"no problem!"

Xu Damao patted his chest and agreed.

Upon hearing the news that a movie was going to be shown, all the young girls, young wives, and aunts and uncles came to the threshing ground in the west of the village. Of course, Widow Li also came here.

Xu Damao secretly gave Widow Li a look, meaning that he would go to her place for lunch at noon, but he didn't know whether Sister Li understood what he meant.

Sister Li blushed slightly and turned her head away, pretending not to have seen Xu Damao.

After the movie was over, everyone went home one after another. Xu Damao started to pack up his things, and a few men nearby also came to help, packing up their things and putting them aside.

The old village chief came over with a chicken in his arms, and repeatedly said to Xu Damao, "Thank you for your hard work, comrade."

Xu Damao took out two dollars and stuffed it into the pocket of the village chief, saying that he wanted to help someone buy some piglets and calves, and asked the old village chief to help inquire about it.

"You two, come here."

Xu Damao waved to two children around seven or eight years old who were nearby.

The two little children ran over and looked up at Xu Damao with clear eyes.

"Here, help me watch this thing. Don't touch it, and don't let anyone else touch it."

Xu Damao took out a few candies and put them into the hands of the two children. He also took out a few pieces of malt sugar and a handful of fried black beans and peanuts and put them into the children's pockets.

"Okay, okay, I'll make sure to complete the task!"

The two children accepted the task with great joy and stood upright next to the projection equipment.

"Don't be so serious, just play however you want, just don't lose anything."

After Xu Damao made all the arrangements, he rode his bicycle in the direction where Sister Li left.

"Sister Li, get in the car!"

“No!”

"Hey, who made my sister Li angry? Sister Li, tell me and I'll beat him up!"

Xu Damao got off his bicycle and pushed it forward side by side with Sister Li.

"Don't come with me, go ahead."

Sister Li's fair face turned slightly red and she spoke without raising her head.

"What happened? Did some people in the village gossip about me after I left?"

Xu Damao asked tentatively, and his guess about the reason for Sister Li's condition was almost correct.

"You know and you still ask."

"Hey, don't listen to those gossipers. We came to this world to live happily and freely. They are just envious and jealous! Don't bother with those gossipers."

Xu Damao began to use the art of language to enlighten Sister Li.

Sister Li nodded slightly and said "hmm" softly, proving that Xu Damao's guidance was effective.

"Come on board, live your own life, don't worry about what others say. We can't live under the tongue of others, right? Get on board."

After Xu Damao's repeated persuasion, Sister Li hesitated for a few seconds and finally sat on the back seat of Xu Damao's bicycle.

Get up early in the morning to pick up manure,

How come my woman is missing when I get home?

After searching in the East Courtyard, I searched in the West Garden.

After searching in the South Courtyard, look for it in the North Courtyard.

I searched all over the place.

I'm worried if I can't find a woman...

Seeing Sister Li sitting on the bicycle obediently, Xu Damao was in a good mood while riding the bike and couldn't help singing a little song on the bike.

"What are you singing? It's so awful!"

"Hey, just sing a little. I didn't eat much this morning, so I'm a little hungry now. Are you hungry, Sister Li?"

"I'm not hungry yet."

"You haven't seen me for such a long time, aren't you hungry? It's really strange. I was thinking of feeding you well later, but now it seems that I have to reconsider it."

Xu Damao was talking nonsense in a serious tone, and he pushed harder with his feet, making the car go faster on the road.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Sister Li’s snow-white cheeks turned even redder.

After passing some villagers, Xu Damao ignored their pointing and turned straight into Sister Li's house.

"Sister Li, have you finished eating the fish in the pond?"

As soon as he entered the yard, Xu Damao parked the car and turned to ask Sister Li.

"The big one has finished eating, but the small one hasn't eaten yet."

"Hey, I just happened to bring some more fish. I'll put a few more for you. Go in and soak these ribs in water first."

Xu Damao took out a bag of pork ribs from the basket at the back and handed it to Sister Li. Then he took out a few grass carps weighing more than three pounds from the basket (actually his personal space) and put them into the pool.

"Oh, you don't have to put so many fish in it. How much would it cost!"

When I was releasing the fish, Sister Li who was out happened to see it.

"It didn't cost much. If you leave it in the basket for a long time, it will die. It's just right for you to eat it. I have a lot more over there."

"Today we're having pork ribs stewed with radish. The pork ribs have already been soaked. You can wash the radish later."

"Why do we have to wait to wash? What are you doing now?"

"Hey, of course there are more important things to do now!"

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he picked up Sister Li by the waist and walked quickly into the room.

After entering the inner room, he put Sister Li down and then he spread his arms and leaped like a golden-winged roc.
