Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

Cuinong saw this and said hurriedly, "Brother Damao, we haven't finished eating the white flour you brought back last time."

Xu Damao waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile: "It's okay. White flour is very durable. It won't go wrong to keep it there first." As he spoke, he strode into the house.

With a smile on his face, Xu Damao took out a stack of cakes carefully wrapped in yellow straw paper from his pocket and gently handed it to Cuinong. The yellow straw paper still exuded a faint fragrance.

Cuinong looked at the pile of pastries in front of her and said in surprise: "Brother Damao, this is too much!" Her eyes were full of excitement, but she also felt a little flattered.

Xu Damao laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying, "Don't be polite with me, just take it and eat it!"

After the two chatted for a while, Xu Damao suddenly stood up, took Zhao Fangfang's soft little hand, and slowly walked into the room.

As soon as she entered the door, Zhao Fangfang asked softly, "Da Mao, don't you have to go to work today?" There was a hint of concern in her words.

Xu Damao looked at her tenderly and replied with a smile, "Today is a holiday, so I came here specially to accompany you. Honey, how do you feel? Is there anything wrong with your body?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head and his eyes involuntarily fell on Zhao Fangfang's lower abdomen.

Zhao Fangfang gently shook her head, stroked her belly with one hand, raised a happy smile, and said: "There is nothing wrong, it's just that I have been sleeping longer recently, and I always feel sleepy. I can't wake up early in the morning like before."

As she spoke, her face radiated an indescribable maternal glow, making her look even more beautiful.

After hearing this, Xu Damao quickly nodded and said, "That's good. You need to rest more. If you need any help or have any needs, you can ask Cuinong to come to me."

Zhao Fangfang nodded obediently and replied, "Yes."

At this moment, Xu Damao suddenly seemed to have discovered something new. He pointed at Zhao Fangfang's belly with curiosity and asked, "Sister Fang, it's been more than five months, but why doesn't your belly seem to have changed much?"

"Oh my! Why haven't you changed at all? Isn't it because the weather is too cold? I'm wearing thick clothes, which covers my belly!"

While mumbling, Zhao Fangfang reached out and began to unbutton her clothes, intending to let Xu Damao see her belly with his own eyes.

"Hey, Sister Fang, don't be in a hurry to take off your clothes! It's very cold in this room. Let's get into bed and warm up first." Xu Damao hurriedly stopped her and pulled Zhao Fangfang into the warm bed.

The two of them snuggled together tightly, and Xu Damao carefully placed his hand on Zhao Fangfang's slightly protruding belly and gently rubbed it. He felt that the skin under his hand was as smooth and delicate as silk, and an indescribable tenderness surged in his heart.

"Hey, there really are changes, Sister Fang! Do you think this little guy is a boy or a girl? What should we name him in the future?" Xu Damao leaned close to Zhao Fangfang's ear and asked in a low voice.

Zhao Fangfang smiled and replied gently, "When Cuinong and I were at home, we also thought about this. If it's a boy, we'll name him Xu Wei; if it's a girl, we'll name him Xu Yan. Of course, you'll have the final say!"

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but soon came to his senses and said he understood. After all, each era has its own unique naming characteristics, just like the children born in the past few years, many of them were named "Yuan Chao", "Kang Mei", etc. These names carry the emotions and expectations of people in that particular period.

"Oh, well... to be honest, I can't think of a good name that I'm particularly satisfied with no matter how hard I try!"

"How about this, I can just go to the market, or take a stroll around the overpass, and look for the fortune tellers setting up stalls, and ask them to help me come up with a suitable name."

"After all, they do this for a living, so they are definitely much better at naming things than we are!"

Xu Damao's eyes rolled around, but he did not immediately deny the name that Zhao Fangfang and Cuinong had jointly discussed.

"Hahaha, sure! It's a good idea to ask a fortune teller to choose a name for you. Then I'll go to the market with Cuinong tomorrow and pick a reliable fortune teller to look at it."

When Zhao Fangfang heard this, a bright smile immediately broke out on her face and she nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"But you have to be careful, don't be fooled by those fortune tellers! You can only give them two cents at most. If they ask for more money, you must not agree! These guys are very smart, especially good at observing people's words and expressions, and their ability to change their attitude according to the situation is first-class." Xu Damao kindly reminded them.

"Don't worry, I know what to do! Besides, Cuinong will go with me, she's very smart!"

Zhao Fangfang answered confidently, and then stretched out her arms and gently hugged Xu Damao's neck. Seeing this, Xu Damao naturally would not miss this opportunity, and lowered his head to kiss her. For a moment, a strong sweet atmosphere filled the air between the two.

Just like that, after spending an extremely wonderful and unforgettable day with Zhao Fangfang, the next morning, the sunlight shone through the window onto Xu Damao's bed.

He stretched himself, then quickly got up, washed up, and walked towards the steel mill in high spirits to start a new day's work.

Xu Damao walked slowly into the Propaganda Department. As soon as he entered, he enthusiastically took out two Daqianmen cigarettes with a faint tobacco aroma from his pocket.

With a smile on his face, he skillfully handed one of them to a busy worker sitting at the desk and exchanged a few words with them.

Afterwards, Xu Damao walked briskly towards Brother Zhao who was working in the corner.

He gently patted Brother Zhao on the shoulder and asked with a smile, "Brother Zhao, do you know what task we have here today?"

Brother Zhao looked up and saw that it was Xu Damao. He smiled and replied, "Damo, there is no special task today. You can just read some books and learn some knowledge in this office."

Hearing this, Xu Damao's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Hey! That's great. I love studying the most! This is just a break, hehe!"

As he said that, he turned and walked to the bookshelf beside him, and casually picked up a book that looked a bit thick.
