Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"Hey, you know that's just a play. We just listen to it for entertainment. There's really no need to take it seriously."

"By the way, you should have heard of the story of the Legend of the White Snake, right?"

Xu Damao suddenly remembered that when he first met Zhang Meifang some time ago, she was singing The Legend of White Snake on the stage.

"Of course, I have heard of it. That White Snake is so pitiful, her fate is so rough and tragic, and that abominable Fahai is just a hated old bald donkey!"

When Lou Xiao'e mentioned Fahai, she couldn't help but grit her teeth in hatred.

"Xiao E, you are wrong this time. In my opinion, Fahai was too kind to White Snake. You could even say he was too merciful."

"This may also be because he is a monk. After all, he is a monk and he would not kill if he could avoid it."

"Da Mao, why do you say that?" Lou Xiao'e asked curiously, blinking her eyes.

"Hehe, if I were Master Fahai, I would definitely catch the white snake without saying anything and cook it into a pot of soup to eat!"

Xu Damao licked his lips and deliberately looked drooling.

"Oh, Damao, how could you say such cruel and heartless words?"

"That White Lady is kind, gentle and considerate, but she can't even arouse the slightest emotion in you. I used to think we could get along well. From now on, I don't want to talk to you anymore, hum!"

Lou Xiao'e turned her head away angrily, pouted her lips and no longer looked at Xu Damao, looking very cute.

"She's fine? Humph, take a good look at what she did. She actually flooded Jinshan Mountain!"

"She started such a huge flood just to satisfy her own selfish desires. If it weren't for the highly respected monk Fahai who intervened, I don't know how many innocent people would have been drowned!"

"Who can those who unfortunately lost their lives turn to for justice? Did they just lose their lives in vain?"

As Xu Damao spoke, his voice unconsciously rose a little.

"Based on this one crime alone, the white snake deserves to be put to death! How can it be so reckless and take human life so lightly!"

"Well...well...oh well, I can't argue with you anyway!"

Seeing that she could not refute Xu Damao's words, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but become a little angry. She simply reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Xu Damao's waist, then turned her head away angrily and ignored him.

Seeing this, Xu Damao smiled indifferently and said with a smirk: "If you can't win the argument, then go home and sleep obediently." As he said that, he reached behind and touched Lou Xiaoe's head.

Lou Xiao'e opened his hand unhappily and said angrily, "Take your hand away!"

Teacher Yan, who happened to be passing by at this time, heard the conversation between the two and said with a smile: "Stop quarreling, both of you. Go home quickly. I have to go home first too."

"Okay, Teacher Yan, please take your time and be careful on the road." Xu Damao responded quickly.

Afterwards, Xu Damao escorted Lou Xiao'e home.

Along the way, although the two occasionally quarreled, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. After sending Lou Xiao'e home safely, Xu Damao returned to his residence at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang alone.

As soon as he entered the house, he was too lazy to take off his clothes. He fell headfirst onto the bed and fell asleep in a short while.

Time flies, and more than twenty days have passed without realizing it.

During this period, Xu Damao's life did not change much. He still ate and drank as usual and lived a carefree life every day.

Every two or three days, he would visit the courtyard where Zhao Fangfang lived and chat with her.

Sometimes when he is in the mood, he will take Cuinong with him to go out for a walk on the street and see what is going on. His life is so comfortable.

It was a sunny day, with a few snow-white clouds floating in the sky.

After having breakfast in the bustling market, Xu Damao leisurely mounted his bicycle and rode slowly towards the steel mill, humming a little tune all the way.

When he arrived at the door of the Propaganda Department, he happened to meet Brother Zhao from the factory walking out.

As soon as Brother Zhao saw Xu Damao, he greeted him warmly, "Damo, today is the day to get your salary, but I'm afraid you have to go out for a screening today and won't be able to come back, so you won't be able to get it. Don't forget to come tomorrow!"

When Xu Damao heard this, he was slightly stunned at first, then he smiled and responded: "Ah, so that's how it is. I understand. Thank you, Brother Zhao, for reminding me."

At this time, Brother Zhao seemed to suddenly remember something and continued, "Oh, that's right, Damao, although you are a worker in our steel mill."

"But since you always have to go out of town to show movies, according to the regulations, your job is considered a field worker."

"Look, I've specially increased your food coupon quota by a few kilograms this month!"

Hearing this, Xu Damao pretended to be ecstatic and thanked him with a big smile on his face: "Oh my, I'm so grateful for your special care, Brother Zhao! Come on, Brother Zhao, have a cigarette first. I've been worried about not having enough food at home!"

As he said that, he quickly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to Brother Zhao.

Xu Damao was not short of food at all. After such a long time, a lot of food had accumulated in his portable space, and he didn't even know how many eggs he had.

"It seems like I have to ask Master Liu Er to deal with some food and other supplies." Xu Damao thought secretly.

Brother Zhao was not polite either. He took the cigarette and waved his hand cheerfully, saying, "Okay, okay, don't be so polite to me! Hurry up, the place you are going to show the film today is not close, so leave early to avoid delays!"

Xu Damao nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I'll go first!"

After saying this, he swiftly and carefully moved all the equipment needed for projecting the movie into the basket at the back of the bicycle.

Then he turned over and rode on the saddle in a cool manner, and with a push of his feet, the wheels began to turn, carrying him farther and farther away...

"Da Mao, where are you planning to go to watch a movie today?"

At the gate of the steel rolling mill, the comrade from the security department came over with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and gently lifted the waterproof tarpaulin covering the rear basket of Xu Damao's bicycle, and asked casually.

Xu Damao stopped in his tracks and replied with a smile, "You know the Xixiang Village in the north, brother. It's not close to us."
