Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

Wang Ling deliberately pretended to look pitiful and looked at her sister.

Wang Sanmei rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense to me! I can only relax and worry less if I marry you off!"

"By the way, Comrade Projectionist, could you please tell me more about your neighbor's name? What does he do in the factory?"

"His name is He Yuzhu, but everyone likes to call him Shazhu."

"This guy is the chef in our factory! His cooking skills are simply amazing."

Xu Damao introduced the two sisters beside him with a smile on his face. Hearing this, Wang Sanmei's eyes flashed with a gleam: "The chef is great. Not only do we not have to worry about going hungry, but we can also eat delicious food every day. Wang Ling, you must seize this great opportunity!"

"But why is it called Shazhu? There won't be any problems with this place, right?"

Wang Sanmei pointed to her head.

"No, I just follow his nickname. He's not stupid at all. It's just a nickname."

"Well, that's fine."

The woman called Wang Ling looked at her sister's overly enthusiastic appearance. Although she was a little reluctant, she also knew her sister's temper very well. She knew that even if she refuted, it would be futile, so she could only nod helplessly and said, "I know!"

At this moment, Wang Sanmei seemed to suddenly remember something, turned to look at the projectionist and asked, "By the way, Comrade Projectionist, when are you planning to return to the city?"

Xu Damao smiled and replied, "It will probably be past nine when the movie ends, so I will rest in the house arranged by the village chief tonight and leave for the city early tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ling's sister Wang Sanmei immediately perked up and quickly came forward and said, "In that case, why don't you let my sister go with you into the city tomorrow? It's a good opportunity for her to meet your neighbors and get to know each other. What do you think?"

Wang Ling couldn't help but frown when she heard this, and she muttered softly: "Oh sister, if I leave, what will happen to the chickens at home? Who will be responsible for feeding them?"

However, Wang Sanmei retorted mercilessly: "Don't use these as excuses. Don't I know how to feed chickens?"

Seeing that the two sisters were about to quarrel, the projectionist hurried out to smooth things over: "I see that sister Wang Ling doesn't seem to be particularly happy about it. For things like this, both parties still need to be willing. We can't force them."

Xu Damao interrupted and said something.

"Hey, brother Damao, today I want to tell you something that's in my heart. Previously, someone introduced a boy from the neighboring village to my sister. I heard that he is the captain of the militia in their village." Wang Sanmei said while gesturing with her hands.

"After my sister met that young man, I think she was a little attracted to him. But who would have thought that due to various reasons, they could not be together."

"Since then, my sister has been like an eggplant hit by frost - wilted. She has always been reluctant to find a partner."

Wang Sanmei sighed deeply, with a trace of helplessness on her face.

At this time, Wang Ling suddenly interrupted and said, "Sister, your guy actually dared to say that to you, I won't date someone like that..."

Before Wang Ling could finish his words, Wang Sanmei interrupted him: "Oh, let's not talk about this, it's all in the past. Brother Damao, take my sister to the city tomorrow."

"That's fine. Tomorrow morning, when I go back to the city, I'll take your sister with me. This way, we can save some money on the train fare."

When Wang Sanmei heard this, she was so happy that she hurriedly thanked him: "Oh my, thank you so much, brother Damao! When we get to town tomorrow, I'll give you a big roast chicken to take away!"

Xu Damao's eyes lit up, and he replied with a smile: "Okay, then thank you, Sister Wang!"

……

"Brother Damao, look at these things. I can't use them if I keep them myself. Just give me some money."

Wang Sanmei said with a smile on her face, and waved her hand gently, indicating that she didn't care much about these items.

"That won't work! The amount is what it should be, we can't mess around."

Xu Damao responded seriously that he felt that when doing business, one must behave like a businessman and not set prices randomly.

"Oh, Brother Damao, you are helping my sister find a date. How can I afford to charge you more money? Just give me whatever you want." Wang Sanmei quickly explained, waving her hands. She was truly grateful for Xu Damao's help.

"Sister Wang, that's not what I mean. This is one thing, and business must be done according to the rules. The introduction is the introduction, and the two cannot be confused."

"Besides, it's hard to say whether this blind date can be successful in the end." Xu Damao analyzed clearly and insisted on paying the normal price.

As he spoke, Xu Damao took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket and counted them carefully. After a while, he took out a few and handed them to Wang Sanmei: "Sister Wang, please count and see if the number is correct."

Seeing that Xu Damao was so persistent, Wang Sanmei stopped refusing and took the money with a smile: "Okay, thank you, Brother Damao, for taking care of my business." However, she did not count the money on the spot, but put the money into her pocket, obviously trusting Xu Damao very much.

After dinner, Xu Damao hummed a little tune and pushed his bicycle to the place where the movie was being shown.

He deftly hung the screen high, then fiddled with the projector for a while, and soon, black and white film began to flicker on the screen.

As the music sounded, men, women, young and old in the village gathered around, and a lively open-air movie began.

"Comrade projectionist, I just saw you coming out of the yard over there. What were you doing?"

At this moment, Xu Damao, who was busy showing a movie, suddenly heard a voice in his ears. He turned his head and saw that it was the village chief next to him who came over, pointed in the direction of Wang Sanmei's house and asked.

Hearing the village chief's question, Xu Damao still stared at the screen and answered nonchalantly, "Oh, yes, village chief. I came here early today. I had nothing to do in the afternoon so I took a stroll around the village and collected some old items. What's wrong with that, brother?"

After hearing this, the village chief quickly waved his hands and explained with a smile: "Hey, it's nothing special, it's just that there are only two sisters in that family who depend on each other for survival. Life is not easy. You can say that they are a pair of miserable people."
