Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

Xu Damao was not modest either. He smiled and said, "If you dare to give me some sunshine, I will shine brightly for you."

"You have a good idea. Some people have a wrong idea. They think they have done more than others and they feel they have suffered a great loss. This kind of thinking is unacceptable!" Brother Zhao said seriously.

"Yes, Brother Zhao is right. We should treat our work with a positive attitude and not care about personal gains and losses." Xu Damao echoed.

"You have to know that the leaders above know exactly how well each worker does his job and how hard they work. They understand it clearly. Otherwise, who would have made you, Xu Damao, an outstanding worker in our Propaganda Department? Hahaha!" Brother Zhao smiled and patted Xu Damao on the shoulder.

Brother Zhao gave a political lesson and burst into laughter.

"I don't think it's that hard. I became an excellent worker thanks to the advice from you, Brother Zhao, and the section chief." Xu Damao started to be humble at this time.

"Okay, this is your bonus as an excellent worker. And wait for a salary increase next month!" Brother Zhao took out five dollars and handed it to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao didn't hesitate and took it happily in his hand.

"It's been such a long time, and I haven't invited Brother Zhao to dinner yet. How about we take some time to go out for dinner?"

Xu Damao proudly waved the five-yuan note in his hand at Brother Zhao twice, then stretched out his hand and "clicked!" It flicked a little, and said to Brother Zhao with a smile: "How is it? Is it enough to treat you to a meal?"

Brother Zhao waved his hands and said seriously, "Goodbye, you should save this money to get married. Although the work in our department is not very tiring, there are many things to worry about. In addition, there are a lot of things to do at home, so I really don't have the energy."

Xu Damao looked at Brother Zhao and said sincerely, "Okay, in that case, I'll collect the money first. I'll pack up and get ready to go. Which village are we going to screen the film in today?"

Brother Zhao picked up the map, pointed to a location northeast of the capital and said, "It's not close to Xisha Village, and it's said that the road is not easy to walk on. Damao, you have to be careful."

Xu Damao patted his chest and answered confidently: "Don't worry, Brother Zhao! I guarantee that the task will be completed!"

Brother Zhao then said, "By the way, I have moved the projection equipment onto your bicycle. Go check to see if there is anything else you need to bring."

Xu Damao nodded, and while packing up his things, he replied, "Okay, I'll go check it out now."

"Okay, the road is long, go early." Brother Zhao looked at Xu Damao's appearance, waved his hand helplessly, and told him to go quickly.

Xu Damao parked his bicycle under the shed, put on his hat and gloves, checked the projection equipment, then rode the factory's bicycle towards the gate of the steel mill.

After the security guards at the gate checked the baskets and chatted for a few minutes, Xu Damao quickly pedaled his bike and put all the equipment in the bike into his personal space before he had gone far. This way, not only was it easier to ride an empty bike, but he also didn't have to worry about damaging the projection equipment if he rode too fast.

Brother Zhao said that the road was not easy to walk on, so Xu Damao pedaled hard, and the speed of the bicycle soon exceeded 30 yards, and was still slowly increasing.

People on the street saw Xu Damao "speeding" early in the morning, and they all showed envy and jealousy. They thought: This guy is really amazing, he can ride a bicycle so fast! And his bicycle looks very high-end, it should be a 28-inch heavy-duty bicycle, so it must be more expensive, right? It would be great if I also had a bicycle like that...

After all, in this era, owning a bicycle is as enviable and proud as owning a luxury car in the past life! There was once a man named Ma who said that when he first started working as a teacher, his biggest dream was to save up a few months' salary to buy a bicycle. At that time, it was already the 1980s and 1990s...

"This road is pretty good, right? It's not as bad as Brother Zhao said." Xu Damao had been riding for an hour after leaving the city, but the road conditions he encountered were always good, which made him doubt what Brother Zhao said.

"Did I take the wrong road?" Xu Damao felt a little worried and quickly picked up the map to compare it carefully, fearing that he had taken the wrong road.

"This route should be correct." After some confirmation, Xu Damao found that he was not on the wrong road. But he still continued to ride forward with trepidation.

After walking for a while, Xu Damao passed an administrative village and compared the map again to make sure he was not in the wrong place. At this time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It should be the road being repaired." Xu Damao couldn't help but complain a few words, and then continued to move towards Xisha Village.

At noon, Xu Damao stopped in a small town and had a hearty lunch. He then continued his journey and arrived at Xisha Village at around 2:00 p.m.

When he found the village chief, after the two sides greeted each other, Xu Damao was warmly invited to a room to rest. He took off his coat without hesitation, lay on the comfortable bed, and fell asleep in a short while. He decided to rest up and wait until nightfall before starting the movie.

Xu Damao fell asleep, and in the blink of an eye it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.

"Comrade projectionist, wake up, dinner is ready, let's go eat first."

Xu Damao was gently awakened by the village chief, who told him that the food was ready and they could enjoy dinner together. At the same time, Zhang Tietou also came to the courtyard where Cuinong lived and knocked on the door gently.

"Ms. Cuinong, are you home? I'm here to pick you up." Zhang Tietou's voice came from outside the door.

Cuinong, who was chatting with Zhao Fangfang, was stunned when she heard the knock on the door. She knew that this moment had finally arrived.

"Sister Fang, I'm leaving. If my sister comes to see me, please tell her." Cuinong said to Zhao Fangfang with a wry smile.

"Go ahead, wear something warmer. It's very cold at night. Don't look so sad. It's not like you're going to risk everything. What are you afraid of?" Zhao Fangfang said unhappily.

"Yeah~ Yeah~ I'm just scared, I just don't want to leave Sister Fang~" Cuinong started to act coquettishly, her voice so sweet that it gave people goose bumps.

"Go quickly, don't keep them waiting for too long. Remember to take the key. I bought you a bag of pastries. Eat some if you get hungry in the middle of the night."

Although Zhao Fangfang expressed disdain, she actually had already regarded Cuinong as her own sister.

Zhao Fangfang's heart was full of pity and love for this little girl with a rough fate.
