But don't worry, as long as you are willing to help, you can go and help him tomorrow night. Then, you will get two yuan in wages and five catties of flour as a reward. "

Cuinong hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded to show her agreement.

Xu Damao was pleased to see Cuinong finally agreed. He then instructed, "Tietou, send Genwang to the warehouse tomorrow afternoon, and come back to pick up Miss Cuinong at six in the evening. By the way, the key to the warehouse is with Miss Cuinong, so just take it with you when the time comes."

Zhang Tietou quickly replied: "Okay, big brother, I got it. I will definitely come back on time tomorrow to pick up Miss Cuinong."

Xu Damao nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Cuinong and said gently: "Cuinong, don't worry, everything will go smoothly!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Brother Damao."

Cuinong responded somewhat shyly.

"By the way, do you have an abacus at home?"

"Yes, yes, they are new."

"That's good. I have things to do, so I'll leave first."

"Okay, take care, brother Damao. I'll see you off."

"No, go back to your room and rest. Remember, sleep during the day tomorrow, otherwise you may not be able to make it through the night."

"I see."

Xu Damao waved his hand, said goodbye to Cuinong, and left the compound with Zhang Tietou and Huang Genwang without even entering the house.

"Brother, who is Miss Cuinong to you?"

Zhang Tietou asked curiously.

Xu Damao smiled slightly, and instead of answering his question directly, he asked, "What do you think of her?"

Zhang Tietou scratched his head and smiled innocently, "Miss Cuinong is beautiful and has a good personality."

Xu Damao laughed proudly and said, "Of course, Cuinong is my dearest."

Zhang Tietou suddenly realized that Miss Cuinong was his eldest brother's woman. No wonder his eldest brother cared about her so much.

They walked and talked, and soon they reached the path outside the village. At this time, Xu Damao suddenly stopped and said to Zhang Tietou and Huang Genwang seriously: "Listen to me, you two, don't tell anyone about what happened today, not even your family members! If anyone dares to leak a word, I will never let him go!"

Zhang Tietou and Huang Genwang nodded repeatedly to show that they understood. Xu Damao was relieved and continued on his way.

"Brother, I also want to find a beautiful partner like Miss Cuinong, but I don't know if it is easy to find one. I don't know if a girl like her will like me, hehe." Zhang Tietou looked at Xu Damao with a flattering smile.

Feeling the atmosphere was a bit dull, Zhang Tietou broke the silence with a chuckle, trying to liven up the atmosphere. While he was talking, he secretly glanced at Xu Damao's face to observe his reaction.

Xu Damao glared at Zhang Tietou and said unhappily, "Humph! Just know it. Girls nowadays have high standards. When they are looking for a partner, they require the man to be either rich or handsome. Tietou, do you think you have either of those?"

Zhang Tietou scratched his head, showing a helpless expression, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, even though I don't look good and I don't have much money, I will never be afraid of not having money if I follow you. As for my appearance, it's just like this in this life. There's nothing I can do about it. It's given by my parents."

After saying this, Zhang Tietou realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly added: "But you are different, brother. Not only are you handsome, but you are also capable. We can't compare to you in this aspect!"

Zhang Tietou flattered Xu Damao a little, hoping to ease the atmosphere.

Xu Damao was amused by Zhang Tietou's words, and his mouth corners slightly raised, and he seemed to be in a better mood. He waved his hand and said to Zhang Tietou and Huang Genwang: "Hey, you are good at talking. Okay, you can go back. Don't forget to bring Miss Cuinong with you tomorrow."

Hearing Xu Damao's instructions, Zhang Tietou and Huang Genwang nodded repeatedly and responded, "Okay, don't worry, brother, we will definitely get it done!" They assured Xu Damao that they would complete the task, then turned and left.

Xu Damao and Zhang Tietou were riding bicycles side by side. Seeing that they were about to reach a fork in the road ahead, he separated from the two and turned directly to another road.

This road is sparsely populated, but it is the only way to the warehouse!

Xu Damao did not run to the warehouse immediately. Instead, he found a teahouse and went in. He ordered a pot of tea, a plate of fried peanuts and a platter of melon seeds. He sat there leisurely, looking at the surrounding environment and thinking about his next plan.

There weren't many people in the teahouse, mostly elderly people, some of them were listening to storytelling, some were playing chess, and some were chatting. Xu Damao ate while observing the surroundings, waiting for the right opportunity.

At this time, he noticed that there was a high platform in the middle of the teahouse, where a storyteller was talking excitedly, gesticulating and drawing applause from the audience.

"As soon as these two started making a fuss, a lot of people came to watch the fun!"

"It's not enough to just watch the fun, but you even call your friends over!"

"There's a guy I just broke up with, a pregnant ex-wife, someone pushing a cart, someone carrying bags, someone selling rice, and someone selling noodles."

"Some people were drinking tea in teahouses, some were playing shuttlecock in parks, some were stewing meat slices, some were making dumpling fillings, some had their arms in plaster, some were holding jars of Chinese medicine, and they were flocking in from all directions!"

"When these two saw so many young and old men coming to watch them, they became even more energetic! They started fighting with a lot of noise."

"You and I fought back, and it was extremely exciting. When we finished fighting and held the basin to ask for the reward, most of the men around us, young and old, ran away faster than rabbits. In the blink of an eye, more than half of them left."

"The rest are mostly shameless. If you put the basin in front of them, they will pretend not to see it, look straight ahead, and walk away slowly!"

There was a storyteller in front of the teahouse, holding a folding fan in one hand and gesticulating in the air with the other hand, spitting out saliva from his mouth.

It's no wonder that this man has an amazing eloquence, especially the one he spoke before, all in one breath and at a very fast speed, which won cheers from the people drinking tea below.

Xu Damao listened for a while and found it very enjoyable. It was called storytelling, but the storyteller spoke in a humorous and witty way, as if he was performing a stand-up comedy.

"Hey, everyone, don't you think this is strange? They came here to watch the fun, but they ran away after watching it. Isn't this freeloading? And those who are so shameless, they pretended not to see the basin when it was handed to them. Isn't this bullying?"

As the storyteller spoke, he tapped the table with his fan, causing the audience to laugh.
