Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

Li Ergou was quite agile and quickly reached out to catch the cigarette.

When he saw clearly what was in his hand, a hint of joy immediately appeared on his face.

This guy quickly thanked Xu Damao: "Hey, uncle, I'm just helping with the work, there's really no need to do this."

Xu Damao waved his hand with a bright smile on his face. He replied with a smile: "Just take it if I tell you to!"

After saying that, Xu Damao walked closer to Li Ergou.

"Li Ergou, do you know which piece of land Zhao Fangfang's family owns?"

"I know, what do you want, brother?"

"The land is now given to you. You can cultivate it and the harvest will all be yours. Just don't let it go to waste."

Xu Damao whispered in Li Ergou's ear.

"Ah, that's no problem."

"Also, keep an eye on this house and don't let others rip it off, okay?"

"I understand, don't worry, big brother."

Xu Damao walked back with satisfaction, took out another pack of Daqianmen and handed it to the driver.

The driver looked at Xu Damao in surprise, and waved his hands repeatedly to refuse: "Oh, this is what we drivers should do. I really don't dare to accept your things."

Xu Damao said seriously: "Take it. I rely on you for the whole journey. Don't worry, this cigarette is an extra gift from me. I will definitely give you more money for travel expenses."

After hesitating for a moment, the driver finally took the cigarette and said gratefully, "Okay, thank you very much, brother! But don't worry, my horse riding skills are first-class, and I guarantee that the carriage will be very stable on the road. When the weather was warm before, my carriage was used to pick up passengers in the capital!"

"Just build something like a cabin on the car, put two rows of benches inside and open two windows."

Xu Damao nodded with satisfaction to show his approval.

After Zhao Fangfang locked the door, the three of them prepared to set off.

"Sister Fang, are you going to sit on the back of my bicycle or in a horse carriage?" Xu Damao asked Zhao Fangfang to see which carriage she would take.

"I'll sit where you tell me to sit." Zhao Fangfang locked the door and said a little uncomfortably.

"My dear brother, the road is bumpy, so it's better to take a carriage for stability. Besides, it snowed lightly last night. Although it wasn't heavy, there was a thin layer of snow on the road. You have to pay attention to your wheels and don't slip. A fall like that would be very serious."

The driver reminded from the side.

"What my brother said is right. These two wheels are not as stable as four wheels. Besides, this carriage has good shock absorption, so it is not so bumpy. Sister Fang, you just sit in the carriage. I'll lead the way." Xu Damao said, and rode his bike to the front.

Zhao Fangfang and the driver watched Xu Damao ride away, and then they got on the carriage together. The front of the carriage was spacious and covered with soft cushions, making people feel very comfortable when sitting on it.

Zhao Fangfang was sitting in the carriage, feeling a little nervous but also full of anticipation. She looked to both sides from time to time, admiring the scenery along the way.

The driver drove the carriage skillfully, keeping a certain distance from Xu Damao. They drove along the country road, the sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling intertwined to form a harmonious melody.

Xu Damao rode steadily in front, looking back from time to time to see if the carriage was catching up. When his eyes fell on Zhao Fangfang, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Along the way, the sun shone through the clouds, illuminating the earth. The breeze blew, bringing fresh air. Zhao Fangfang felt the beauty of nature and gradually relaxed.

She started chatting with the drivers to learn more about the stories and customs of other people's lives.

When the driver saw the beautiful Zhao Fangfang taking the initiative to chat with him, he enthusiastically shared his experiences and knowledge, allowing Zhao Fangfang to have a deeper understanding of other people's lives.

After walking for about an hour, Xu Damao looked at his watch and found that it was already past eight o'clock. At this time, his stomach began to growl, and he realized that he had not eaten anything since he rode all the way from the city yesterday afternoon.

"Brother, there is a small town ahead. We can go there to find something to eat. I'm so hungry." Xu Damao said as he slowed down the bicycle and walked side by side with the rider.

"Okay, there is a restaurant in this town that makes very authentic mutton head soup, but the price is..."

"Money is not a problem! Besides, the weather is so cold, drinking a bowl of steaming mutton soup will make people feel much warmer. Let me go over first and order food for everyone in advance, and you can start eating directly when you arrive." Xu Damao answered generously.

After saying that, Xu Damao stepped hard on the pedal of the bicycle, ready to speed up. However, at this moment, the driver hurriedly shouted: "Brother, I won't go..."

In fact, the driver had not eaten anything this morning. Because Li Ergou was in a hurry, he only had time to feed some grass and water to the two horses pulling the cart.

For the driver, a bowl of mutton soup was too expensive, plus a few pancakes, it would cost 60 cents in total, which was not a small amount for him.

"It's okay, brother. I'll treat you!" Xu Damao said as he pedaled his bicycle quickly and disappeared in front in an instant.

"Girl, is this your brother? He's quite a generous man." The driver looked at Xu Damao who was going away, then turned to ask Zhao Fangfang who was sitting in the back.

Zhao Fangfang hesitated for a moment, then made up a story: "He... he is my cousin, doing business in the city. When he became rich, he took me to live in the city..."

"Oh, no wonder, those who do business are smart people. People like us don't have that kind of brains." The driver sighed.

At this time, Xu Damao had already arrived in front of a small restaurant at the entrance of the town. After stopping the car, he shouted loudly: "Boss, give me three bowls of mutton soup and six pancakes!"

This so-called restaurant is actually just a small stall on the roadside. It consists of a simple thatched house with some items needed for setting up a stall.

Most of the things were displayed outside. It was just a thatched shed on the side of the road with a few tables underneath and a fence made of branches around it. It was very simple.

Hearing Xu Damao's call, the boss responded enthusiastically: "Okay, brother, is there anyone else coming over?"

Xu Damao replied impatiently: "Then there must be someone there, otherwise why would I want three bowls? The person is right behind, just serve!"

"Okay! I'll get it for you right away!" the boss agreed quickly.

When two bowls of steaming mutton soup were brought to the table, the coachman and Zhao Fangfang just arrived. After parking the carriage on the side of the road, they strode over.

"It's fresh out of the pot, eat it while it's hot!" Xu Damao warmly invited the two to sit down and eat.
