Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"Girl, don't tell people about this! We have so much money and we can live for a long time."

"To be honest, before I met you, my big brother from the city, if my family was really in trouble, I would have gone to find the militia captain."

"Yes, sister. If there is no man at home, there is no one to rely on. It is really difficult. Besides, if there is a man, you don't have to use your hands secretly when I am asleep at night..."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Go cut grass for the pigs! We still have a pig at home."

Cuilan's cheeks turned red and she scolded her sister in shame and anger.

"Oh, I forgot, I'm going to go cut grass for the pigs now, you just stay at home and have a good rest."

……

Xu Damao rode his bike to the threshing ground, feeling refreshed, and found the two children still playing not far from his projection equipment.

This time the delay was a bit long. After all, it takes an hour to stew the chicken. Otherwise, the rooster meat would not be cooked through and would be hard to chew.

Plus I lay in bed for a while to rest, and one V two...

So Xu Damao felt embarrassed for giving the two guys a few more candies and sending them away.

"Brother, you're back."

"Well, have you eaten?"

"We've eaten. We take turns going home to eat, so we make sure the food never leaves our sight."

"Well, well done."

Xu Damao took out more than a pound of pork and gave it to the older child.

"This is for the two of you. Take it home and share it with your parents. Just say it was given by your eldest brother!"

"Thank you, big brother. The two kids were very happy when they saw this one and ran away with it."

"return!"

"What's wrong, brother?"

"Here, one for each of you, keep the money for yourselves, hehe."

Xu Damao took out two 20-cent bills and gave one to each of the two children.

"Thank you, brother!"

When Xu Damao saw the two children running away and that there was no one around, he directly put the projection equipment into his personal space, got on his bicycle and headed towards the steel mill.

Men have trouble with money.

Work hard, save money and sweat a lot,

Earn some hard money.

To succeed, you need to be single.

For two doors.

Two hundred yuan a day.

Um, both are spent.

Grit your teeth, wipe your sweat,

Keep moving bricks...

Xu Damao hummed a tune that was out of tune all the way to the steel rolling mill.

"Da Mao, you came back a little late today."

A security guard greeted with a smile while holding the Daqianmen handed to him by Xu Damao.

"Alas, the journey is long. I have no choice but to leave first, brothers."

"Okay, drive slowly on the road."

Xu Damao put away the projection equipment, rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.

"Da Mao is back."

"Uncle San came back early today."

"That's right. Riding a bike is much faster than walking. It saves a lot of time."

"By the way, your mother is here. She's in your room now. She seems very anxious. She must have something important to discuss with you. You should go see her as soon as possible."

"Oh, Third Uncle, my mother said something is wrong?"

"You didn't tell me, you just said hello to me and asked me when I would get off work."

"Okay, Uncle San, I'm leaving first."

Xu Damao handed Yan Bugui a cigarette and pushed his bicycle back to where he lived.

"Da Mao, you're back, come in! I want to tell you something."

When Xu Damao's mother saw Xu Damao, she hurried out, took Xu Damao's hand and went into the house.

This made Xu Damao very embarrassed, after all, he was not the original Xu Damao. However, due to his good acting skills, no one noticed.

I quickly recalled what Xu Damao was like in the past. Well, he was very good at acting and pretending.

"Mom, why are you back?"

"I'm taking some time off from shopping to come see you and tell you something."

"The mistress of the Lou family was worried about how to find a husband for the young lady. I recommended you to her mother at the time and said a lot of good things about you. I saw that she was also somewhat interested..."

After hearing the first two sentences, Xu Damao already knew what was going on. The red flag at home was coming.

"You don't know, although Miss Lou's family background is not good, (in that special era, people with capitalist family backgrounds were like people with criminal records today, with no good family background and no red lineage, it was difficult to find a husband, workers and farmers were the most glorious!)"

"I'm telling you, Damao, I know Miss Lou very well. Not only is she very beautiful, but she's also well-educated. She's a typical lady from a noble family. I've been praising you in front of the mistress, so you'll have to behave well when the time comes."

"I know, mom. I know what's going on. Anything else?"

"I brought you a piece of clothing, try it on..."

The mother and son chatted for a while, and Xu Damao's mother prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded Xu Damao to be careful, especially to maintain good relations with his neighbors, and to be careful of the Lou family sending people to secretly inquire about Xu Damao's character and deeds.

Only after Xu Damao patted his chest and made assurances again and again did Xu's mother leave in a hurry. It seemed that she really took the time to come and deliver the message.

After sending his mother to the gate of the compound, Xu Damao did not look back until his mother was far away.

"Da Mao, what's going on? Talk to me and see if I can give you some advice."

Yan Bugui, who was wandering around the front yard, saw Xu Damao returning and came over to ask.

"It's nothing, it's just that my mother is a little short of money recently, and she asked me for some money to spend. I just gave her some, but it's still not enough, Third Uncle, hey! Third Uncle, please listen to me."

Hearing Xu Damao's shout behind him, Yan Bugui's pace of departure quickened a bit...

Back in his room, Xu Damao started to make a fire and cook.

"Let's stew some fish. It's easier. If you can eat out, go out. If you can't eat out, ask Sha Zhu to help cook. But this method is a bit difficult."

"It seems like He Yuzhu has some prejudice against me now. Could it be that he can't stand seeing me having both parents and living a carefree life, and he is jealous?"

"Fuck! It turns out that he is a rival of this idiot!"

Xu Damao thinks cooking is too troublesome.

I went to my portable space and killed a small black fish weighing more than two kilograms, then came back and started frying the fish.

Put lard in the pot, put the fish in when the oil is slightly hot, fry for a while and then turn it over. Then add green onions and water, stew for a while and put in a few pieces of cut tofu.

When it was almost done, he added seasonings. Xu Damao was too lazy to put it in a bowl and just prepared to eat it right out of the pot.

Putting the pot on the table, Xu Damao took out a bottle of wine, poured himself a glass, raised it up and touched the empty space opposite the table.

"Xiao'e, come and go!"

He then picked up the cup and took a big sip, then picked up the chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish meat under the fish head and put it in his mouth to chew.

Although I have known for a long time that my wife is Lou Xiao'e, I have never met Lou Xiao'e until now. But what my mother said is right, she is beautiful!
