Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"You...don't do this! The door is not closed!"

Xu Damao suddenly realized what was going on, and quickly got up and went out, locking the door from the inside, and then slowly walked over...

With a chuckle, Xu Damao picked up the thin blanket and covered himself with it.

"did you miss me?"

"Ah."

"Sister Li is so pretty, don't the idle guys in the village have any intentions on you?"

"Hmph, they dare!"

……

"You spent a lot of money on these fish, didn't you? Sister Li will give you as much as you want. It's not easy for you to go to work every day."

Sister Li lay on her side next to Xu Damao and whispered these words in his ear.

"It won't cost much, Sister Li. Do you know how much your dowry box sold for?"

"How much is it? It's just a wooden box. Even if it's valuable, it's probably worth a few dozen dollars at most, right?"

"hey-hey!"

A sly smile appeared on Xu Damao's face.

"Sister Li, you are wrong. I have said before that this wooden box is an antique. Its value is far more than what you said."

"The selling price will definitely be higher than what you said."

Xu Damao deliberately emphasized the word "absolutely".

"Now you can take these fish with peace of mind, right?"

"How much did it sell for?"

Sister Li asked curiously.

"I'm telling you, I'm going to shock you. It sold for several hundred dollars! Sister Li, do you want me to give you some of the money?"

"No need. It's your ability that you can sell it at a high price. I have another treasure here, and this is the real treasure."

Sister Li carefully held out a box, her eyes full of awe and cherishment.

"It is said that this thing was brought out from the palace by my elders before I got married."

Sister Li's eyes softened, as if she was recalling the past.

"Really? Then I have to check it out carefully! After all, there are a lot of fakes on the market now. Basically, any item is said to be from the palace, and they all want to sell it for a good price."

Xu Damao was talking nonsense.

"Hmph, am I that kind of liar?"

Sister Li was a little angry. She turned her head away and was angry...

"I was wrong, Sister Li. I was talking about other people, not you!"

"Okay, I'll go get it for you. I hid it very carefully, so it's a little hard to get."

"Don't rush to get the baby yet."

"Hey, what are you doing, little brother?"

"Hehe, there's no need to rush to get the treasure. The most important thing now is this!"

……

"I'm so tired. I'm not this tired even when I'm at work on weekdays! I'm even hungrier now. You can hear my stomach growling."

Hearing this, Sister Li's face, which was already red because of what happened before, became even redder. As the red spread, Sister Li's snow-white ears and neck were also stained with a layer of pink, making her look extremely seductive.

"I'll go wash the radishes. It's almost noon now. We can only eat in the afternoon."

Sister Li suppressed her embarrassment, quickly put on her clothes, went outside and started washing the two radishes that Xu Damao took out.

Xu Damao suddenly wanted to have a cigarette, but then he remembered that he didn't have any on him, so he gave up.

After resting in bed for a while, Xu Damao got up, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room to see how Sister Li was preparing.

"Sister Li, cut the radish into big pieces. What shall we eat for lunch besides pork ribs and radish soup?"

"How about eating steamed bread? That's what everyone in the village eats."

"Sister Li, can you make pancakes? I want to eat pancakes."

"I can, but we don't have white flour at home, and cornmeal pancakes don't taste very good."

"It's all fine as long as Sister Li can make it. I just happened to buy some white flour today and I'll use it to make pancakes later."

Xu Damao walked out of the room and came to the bicycle basket. He took out a 50-kilogram bag of flour from his personal space, carried it on his shoulder and walked into the room.

"Just put this little bit of white flour here, Sister Li, you can make the pancakes. I also bought some pastries, I'll bring them to Sister Li later."

"You don't need to bring so many things. Coming here is just like coming to...my sister's house."

"I'll light the fire!"

Xu Damao poured some water into the pot, put more than five pounds of pork ribs in, and then started to light the fire.

"Sister Li, go make the pancakes."

After the water boiled, Xu Damao took a spoon and kept skimming off the blood and foam on the water surface. Half an hour later, the aroma of meat filled the air.

Xu Damao, who was already hungry, swallowed his saliva, opened the lid of the pot, and poured all the washed radish pieces into the pot.

"It will be ready in ten minutes. Let's eat this first to cushion our appetite."

As Xu Damao spoke, he opened a bag of osmanthus cake. A refreshing osmanthus fragrance spread out, increasing one's appetite.

Xu Damao didn't hesitate to take out a piece and put it in his mouth. He chewed it a few times and swallowed it.

"Sister Li, you can eat too. Don't be polite. I'm hungry. There are a few more bags in the car. I'll bring them all to you later."

Xu Damao ate as he talked, and handed Sister Li a piece of osmanthus cake.

"Is it tasty?"

“Delicious, I haven’t had this in a long time.”

"If it tastes good, eat more. Come here, I also bought you two sets of clothes. Try them on and see if they look good on you."

Xu Damao walked towards the bicycle in the yard.

"You don't have to buy me anything."

"I like to buy it for you. Come, try it on and see if it fits you. Don't worry, I spent all the money from selling your dowry box."

Xu Damao handed Sister Li a folded emerald green dress and a red dress with white dots.

"it's beautiful!"

Sister Li spread out the clothes, tried them on herself a few times and sighed.

"If you like it, go try it on and see if it fits you."

"Okay, I'll try it."

Sister Li happily took the clothes into the room.

Sister Li seemed to have spent a long time in there. More than ten minutes later, Xu Damao carefully sprinkled salt into the pot of stewed pork ribs and radishes, like a master chef carefully preparing a delicious dish.

Then, he added the last handful of firewood to make the fire burn fiercely. Only then did Sister Li open the door, holding a wooden box tightly in her hands, and walked out slowly.

Sister Li stood there gracefully, wearing an emerald green dress.

The dress was tailored to perfection, framing her slender figure perfectly.

The emerald green skirt swayed gently like a lotus leaf in the breeze, setting off Miss Li's delicate and beautiful temperament, showing her gentleness and softness to the fullest.

From a distance, Sister Li looked like a white lotus against a few green leaves. Xu Damao was stunned for a moment.

"Sister Li looks even more beautiful in this dress, like a white lotus. What's in this box? Could it be the treasure Sister Li mentioned?"

"You'll know after you take a look, little brother."

Sister Li said this as she reached out to open the box and took out the treasure inside.

"The Phoenix holds a pearl! This is a real treasure!"
