Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

Xu Damao nodded with satisfaction, hugged Lin Yue in his arms, and said gently: "I thought I was very smart, but I was actually fooled by you!"

The two of them joked for a while, and Xu Damao said, "Go to bed early. I have to get up early tomorrow."

Lin Yue nodded and said, "Okay."

She hugged Xu Damao tightly, unwilling to let go.

Xu Damao felt Lin Yue’s reluctance, so he reached out and hugged Lin Yue, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, around five in the morning, when it was still dark, Xu Damao was awakened by Lin Yue getting up. He rubbed his eyes, looked at Lin Yue and asked softly, "Sister Lin, do you get up so early every day?"

Lin Yue nodded gently and replied softly: "Well, I need to cook a pot of soup and make some more corn cakes. I can sell them for some money in the morning."

Xu Damao curiously asked, "How was the business this morning?"

Lin Yue smiled and said, "It's OK. Most of the people on the road come to buy it. Some porters also buy it back as dry food for the journey."

After saying this, Lin Yue sat up from the bed and prepared to put on her clothes. However, at this moment, Xu Damao suddenly showed a sly smile, hugged Lin Yue and dragged her back to the bed.

"Oh, Damao, no, no, I have to go make soup and cornmeal cakes, please let go." Lin Yue said reluctantly, but her body did not struggle. When Xu Damao kissed her, she took the initiative to open her cherry lips to respond to his passion.

The two of them cuddled in the bed for a while, and Lin Yue began to hug Xu Damao's neck actively.

When the two kissed, Xu Damao's hands also began to get naughty. He kissed Lin Yue and caressed her body. Lin Yue was so weak from Xu Damao's touch that her eyes became blurry after a while.

"Sister Lin, I'm sorry to delay you from making breakfast." Xu Damao looked at Lin Yue's dazed eyes and a desire surged in his heart.

"It's okay, it's okay to prepare those foods later in the evening..." Lin Yue said softly, then hugged Xu Damao, and like a hungry tiger pounced on its prey, she turned over and threw Xu Damao onto the bed.

More than half an hour later, Lin Yue, who looked hydrated, radiant and with a much improved complexion, came to the front yard restaurant and started making cornmeal cakes and boiled a pot of soup.

Xu Damao walked out slowly, pushing his bicycle.

"Da Mao, have breakfast before you leave. I specially stewed three eggs and steamed two roast chicken legs for you."

Lin Yue saw Xu Damao pushing the cart towards her and thought he was about to leave, so she quickly stopped him and said something.

"Really? I can't let your kindness down, Sister Lin. I'll be polite then. I'll park the car outside first." Xu Damao said with a smile, then walked out of the restaurant.

It was still early at this time, and the eastern sky had just begun to show a hint of red. The earth was silent, and it was so cold that even the roosters seemed too lazy to crow.

Xu Damao parked his bicycle outside the hotel, simply washed his face with cold water, then walked into the house to enjoy breakfast.

After the meal, under Lin Yue’s reluctant gaze, Xu Damao, carrying two corn cakes carefully wrapped by Lin Yue, got on his bicycle and resolutely left this quiet town.

The weather in the capital city was extremely bad in winter. Xu Damao looked up into the distance and saw a black and yellow foggy scene in the sky.

He knew very well that this was a natural phenomenon caused by a sandstorm in the distance, and its severity was far greater than the smog of later generations! After all, the construction of the Three North Shelterbelt Project had not yet begun...

Xu Damao quickly put on a hat and gloves, tied on a homemade mask, pedaled hard on his bicycle, and sped towards the capital.

Before noon, Xu Damao had already returned to the city safely.

If I rush back to the steel mill at this moment and take a short rest, I will still have time to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

However, Xu Damao had no intention of taking advantage of his own factory, but went straight to the outside of Nanluoguxiang, where there was a market run by Zhang Tietou and Huang Genwang, as he happened to have something to do with them.

Xu Damao was pushing his bicycle in the market. His tall and sturdy figure stood out like a crane among chickens. Zhang Tietou saw Xu Damao walking towards him from afar.

"Sit tight, big brother is coming!"

Zhang Tietou quickly reminded Huang Genwang who was sitting on a recliner smoking.

Huang Genwang was startled and immediately turned over from the recliner, sitting up straight.

Even though his cheap elder brother was always smiling, Huang Genwang could feel that he had definitely killed someone!

Since Xu Damao had instructed that as long as he didn't come to find them, the two of them should not take the initiative to talk to Xu Damao, and they had to pretend that they didn't know each other.

"Tietou, how is your business lately? Is your business good? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me!"

Xu Damao pushed the cart to the stall, looked at Zhang Tietou who pretended not to know him, and spoke in a low voice.

"Business is pretty good, especially during the New Year holidays. Genwang and I made some money. Big brother, if you need money, just take it."

When Zhang Tietou saw Xu Damao suddenly greet him, he also responded in a low voice.

"No, you can keep the money you earn for yourself. I don't need money to spend."

Xu Damao smiled and shook his head, then looked at Huang Genwang and asked, "Genwang, have you encountered any troubles recently?"

Huang Genwang quickly shook his head and said, "No, everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, big brother."

Huang Genwang also lowered his voice and replied to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Zhang Tietou: "Tietou, teach Genwang some business skills when you have time, so that he can grow up as soon as possible."

"Got it, don't worry, big brother."

Zhang Tietou responded.

Xu Damao patted Zhang Tietou on the shoulder and said softly, "This is not a good place to talk. Let's find a quiet place to chat slowly. You can ask Genwang to help look after this stall first." As he said that, he nodded at Huang Genwang.

"Okay, big brother. I know a place with delicious food. We can go there and talk while eating. I'll treat you this time, so please come." Zhang Tietou invited enthusiastically. Then he turned and walked towards Huang Genwang, whispered a few words, and then returned to Xu Damao.

"Is the place you are talking about far from here?" Xu Damao asked.

"It's not too far, only about half a mile away, and you can get there in a short walk." Zhang Tietou replied.

"Okay, let's go." Xu Damao nodded in agreement.

Zhang Tietou led Xu Damao forward, and the two talked as they walked. After walking for about five minutes, they still hadn't reached their destination.
