Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"Village chief, you gave me two old hens, I can't take your things for nothing, so I'll leave these two fish with you."

As Xu Damao spoke, he looked around, searching for a place to put the fish. He finally chose a wooden basin in the corner of the house and put the two lively grass carps into the basin.

"Oh, you must have come all this way, you deserve two chickens."

"You're welcome. I have to go back now. Let's go, Village Chief!"

Without waiting for the village chief to say anything polite, Xu Damao walked out of the room, got on his bicycle and rushed towards the village threshing ground.

"You have completed your mission very well. This is the mission reward for you two!"

Xu Damao took out two Cuban candies and gave one to each of the two children. Then he grabbed a handful of fried black beans and handed them to them. The two children took the Cuban candies and fried black beans and disappeared happily.

Xu Damao loaded the items to be screened into the bicycle basket, then rode his fully loaded bicycle toward the steel mill.

After walking for a distance, Xu Damao saw that there was no one around, so he untied the ropes on the legs of the chickens, ducks and geese, and then sent them all into the space.

"Add poultry to the space, expand the space, and gain three points."

Xu Damao was surprised and got three more points. He wanted to see what he could redeem.

Xu Damao looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he stopped the car and went straight into the space.

The black fog at the edge retreated backwards, and the space became noticeably larger than before. The extra space became a sparse forest with some bushes growing underneath.

I don’t know if it was Xu Damao’s illusion, but it felt like the area of ​​the farmland and ponds in the space had also increased a little.

"exchange!"

A list appeared, showing some items that could be exchanged for three points in addition to the previous items that cost one point or two points.

Fully automatic poultry farm, three points, unique, you can consume points to expand the area and add functions.

"Hey, this is good, let's build it!"

Xu Damao directly placed the construction site of the fully automatic poultry farm at the location of the newly appeared woods and bushes.

In an instant, a breeding farm covering two acres appeared before our eyes.

Looking at the only few chickens, ducks and two geese in the farm, Xu Damao scratched his head and directly exited the portable space.

After all, I am on the road. If I stay in this space for a long time and meet passers-by when I come out, it would be as shocking as seeing a ghost in broad daylight. I might even be caught and studied.

Xu Damao rode his bicycle at full speed, but he was thinking about how to buy a bicycle for himself.

After all, bills were not popular at that time. As long as you had money, you could buy most things. But he didn't have much money, and most of the money he had was left by his original father.

"Hehe, if you can't do that, just go to Yi Zhonghai or Jia Zhangshi. Yi Zhonghai has a high salary, and he always dislikes me. He often orders Sha Zhu to beat me up. Not to mention Jia Zhangshi. Although she looks poor, she actually has a gold ring at home!"

I returned to the steel mill, packed up my bicycle and projection equipment, and prepared to walk home.

Xu Damao walked into the gate of the courtyard with a bunch of wild mushrooms tied with straw rope in his hand.

"Da Mao is back. He is holding mushrooms in his hand. They are really good. They are very delicious when used to make soup."

"Yan Bugui? No no, Teacher Yan really has a good eye! Here, I'll give you two pieces. You can take them home and cook or stew them."

Xu Damao took two pieces of mushrooms, each half the size of his palm, from the straw rope and handed them to Yan Bugui with a smile.

Yan Bugui subconsciously reached out to catch it, and looked at Xu Damao who was walking away in confusion.

"Has this kid changed his personality today? He's so easy to talk to. I guess I'll have to help him out in the future."

Yan Bugui looked down at the mushrooms in his hand, then walked towards his residence with a smile.

"It can't be helped. This is how it is in these times. Supplies are scarce. Old Third Yan has several children and is supported by only his own salary. No wonder he always likes to take advantage of others."

Xu Damao was talking to himself and felt someone was looking at him. He turned around and a wave of memories came to his mind. Wasn't this Sha Zhu?

The absolute protagonist of the courtyard was seen holding a lunch box and walking slowly past Qin Huairu, who was pregnant.

He glanced at Xu Damao, then moved his eyes to Qin Huairu's delicate face and collar. Seeing that Xu Damao did not leave but was staring at him blankly, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and annoyed.

"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig your eyes out!"

If the twenty-one-year-old Sha Zhu gets angry, Xu Damao will probably be covered in blood.

This also solved a doubt in my heart.

Originally, when Xu Damao came here, he thought that with his physique, although he was not strong, he was well-proportioned and strong, otherwise he would not have been able to lift Sister Li, who weighed more than 90 kilograms, like a doll.

Why is he always bullied by Shazhu in the drama? Now that I see him in person, I finally understand.

Although He Yuzhu was half a head shorter than himself, he had an unusually sturdy build. His gray long sleeves were folded up, revealing his strong, bronze forearms.

This arm is much thicker than Xu Damao's. Looking at the muscles and veins on it, he can juggle the pan with one hand like it's a piece of cake. It is estimated that he practiced juggling the pan with one hand.

He had a square face and thick lips, and he stared at Xu Damao angrily, as if he was ready to fight if they disagreed.

To be honest, this guy is a pitiful person, but there must be something hateful about pitiful people!

Although he is called Shazhu, he is not stupid at all, he is just silly, the kind of green and inexperienced guy.

Xu Damao, the worst character in the whole play, is actually the most sober person in the world and lives the best life in reality.

In fact, from the beginning of the play, Sha Zhu, even though he is a high-skilled and high-income employee, not only has a high salary but can also have enough food to eat. As a canteen chef, he never worries about food every day like Qin Huairu.

Sha Zhu's biggest shortcoming is that he is not good at dealing with emotions and is soft-hearted. Ever since he got together with Qin Huairu, he packed up leftovers from the kitchen every day to take home, but as soon as he got home, they were snatched away by Qin Huairu and given to her son. Even his monthly salary of several dozen yuan was cheated away by her.

What’s interesting is that even though Sha Zhu was like this, he treated Qin Huairu wholeheartedly. But when it came to getting married, just because his son Bang Geng disagreed, the two of them actually didn’t get married for seven or eight years. He was so stupid!

During this period of time, Sha Zhu was still being "sucked dry" by Qin Huairu's family. In other words, he was "stupid" in terms of feelings. If he were an ordinary person, he would have driven Qin Huairu's family out long ago, and with his good job and skills, he would have married a young and beautiful girl long ago.

Later, when Lou Xiao'e came back with her son He Xiao, Qin Huairu cried, made a scene, and threatened to hang herself, refusing to let Sha Zhu meet his biological son. She even instigated all the old men and women in the hospital to blackmail him morally.

Even so, Sha Zhu still didn't see Qin Huairu's true face. In the finale, all the savings were taken away by Qin Huairu, and the courtyard was given to Qin Huairu's children.

Even though Sha Zhu did so much, he still didn't end up well. Later, Sha Zhu lost his job and had no money, and Qin Huairu's family immediately mocked him. Later, he went to work for Lou Xiao'e, and Qin Huairu started to make trouble again, forcing him to resign.

When watching the original drama, the audience may feel sorry for Sha Zhu at the beginning, as he is entangled and "sucked blood" by Qin Huairu's family. But the more they watch, the more they probably feel that he deserves it. Qin Huairu has done so much, but he still wants to be with her.

Xu Damao is a normal person

Although Xu Damao is a bit bad, he has always lived his own life and has never thought about relying on others for his whole life.

The reason why the audience ridiculed "Love in the Courtyard" as "A Courtyard Full of Birds" is because most people in the courtyard want to pester Sha Zhu to "suck his blood".

It can be said that none of the three uncles in the yard is a good person.

The uncle seemed to be the best to Shazhu, but in fact he just wanted Shazhu to take care of him in his old age, so when Shazhu's son appeared, the uncle was most scared. He was afraid that Shazhu would go to Hong Kong with his son and no longer care about him.

So he kept persuading Sha Zhu to stay in the Siheyuan and not abandon Qin Huairu. In fact, only if Sha Zhu stayed in the Siheyuan would there be someone to take care of him in his later years and to see him off to the end.

Although the second and third uncles have sons, because their parents are immoral and their children are unfilial, it is almost the same as having no sons.

Later, the second and third uncles also started to get involved with Sha Zhu. Every day they didn't cook or do anything else, just waiting for Sha Zhu to bring back food from the kitchen and eat with everyone.

From a realistic perspective, if Sha Zhu had not met Lou Xiao'e, he would have been taken advantage of by Qin Huairu sooner or later, and kicked out of the courtyard when he was no longer useful in his later years.

This is what it means to be a dog licker and lick until you have nothing left. He Yuzhu can be said to be the kind of self-satisfied dog licker god.

Qin Huairu wanted to get some benefits from Sha Zhu, which was easy and cost nothing, and it became a habit over time.

Replace Sha Zhu with Xu Damao and try it? If you want to get some benefits from Xu Damao, you have to go to the warehouse, hehe.

Otherwise, why would a widow get an IUD? Isn't it to make herself comfortable and also to get some benefits? It's killing two birds with one stone. But it can't make stupid Zhu comfortable. Why? What you can't get is always the best, so you are kept hanging.

This is also where Qin Huairu's scheming lies.

People like Xu Damao, although they cannot make a fortune, can live a decent life. They have no worries about food and drink, and even if they live in a nursing home in their later years, there will be people to take care of them.

……

Xu Damao smiled at He Yuzhu and then walked away. A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him, so there is no need for him to bother with this rogue.

Looking at Xu Damao who was leaving with a smile, He Yuzhu scratched his head. What was wrong with this guy? Didn't he usually say a few words to me with his sharp tongue, and then I would chase him away?

After taking another glance at Qin Huairu, who was washing clothes with her head down, revealing her two white and tender arms, He Yuzhu took the lunch box and walked into his residence.

"Yushui! Look what delicious food your brother brought you!"

He Yuzhu seemed to be taking credit at this time.

"What's delicious, Brother Zhuzi? Is there any meat?"

"Of course there are. A senior leader came to the factory today. I packed some leftovers. You can have some."

"Brother Zhuzi, come and eat with us."

"I've eaten. Hehe, I've already eaten my fill in the kitchen."

He Yuzhu patted his belly "bang bang".

Seeing his brother like this, Yu Shui took out a steamed bread and opened the lunch box.

An enticing aroma wafts out from the lunch box, making one's mouth water.

"Silly brother, there's still fat on this?"

Yu Shui picked up the chopsticks, picked up a thin piece of fat and put it into her mouth, chewing it, with a satisfied expression on her face.

"Hey, fatty meat smells good, right? On normal days, it's good to have some lean meat. Today, thanks to the boss, I got some fatty meat. Eat more. If you can't finish it, save it for tomorrow morning."

"Okay silly brother."
