Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Xu Damao handed the matter over to Lou Qi and ran away. He had to go back to the courtyard to communicate with the higher-ups. No one had been home for such a long time, and he didn't know what was going on at home. He had to find time to drive the car in the space to Lou's house. It would be too conspicuous if he drove a car for no reason.

When Xu Damao pushed the cart back to the courtyard, it was dinner time. Every household was cooking, and the aroma of food wafted from each house.

"Hey, brother Damao, I haven't seen you for a while, where have you been?" Yan Jiecheng asked. Yan Bugui had just come back from fishing, and Yan Jiecheng was helping his father clean the bicycle at the door of his house. It must be said that Yan Bugui really cares about this bicycle, and he always cleans it after using it.

"Well, I was on a business trip and just came back last night. Is there anything happening in the hospital recently?" Xu Damao asked.

"It's nothing big. Doctor Ding in the backyard gave birth to a girl a few days ago, and Brother Nan gave out a lot of candy." Yan Jiecheng said.

Xu Damao nodded. Fortunately, he sent the milk powder over before leaving, otherwise the little guy would have had a hard time in the past few days.

"The baby was born so soon. I haven't even had time to eat the wedding candy yet. By the way, Jie Cheng, you're going to be a father soon, right?"

Yan Jiecheng touched his head and said happily: "Hey, it should be next month."

"Okay, come find me if you need milk powder. I'm going to go home first. I should clean up after so many days."

"Brother Damao, please go quickly and come to our house for dinner later?"

"No, no, I mainly came back to make a phone call and go back to my dad." Xu Damao said as he pushed the cart towards the backyard.

He was secretly thinking in his heart, "Yan Jiecheng's child is about to be born, but the TV series didn't mention it clearly. If there is a child, at least they need to see the child, not just a single shot. Could it be that she was starving during the famine and couldn't have a child? Now that the food level of the Yan family has improved, it's natural for her to get pregnant. Or did the couple not know how to go to the wrong house, resulting in no children?"

Soon, Xu Damao pushed the car to the door of his house. After parking the car, he went home first. As expected, there was another layer of dust in the house. I should call first and ask Auntie or Auntie No. 2 to clean up tomorrow before leaving.

Xu Damao picked up the red phone and dialed directly. This time, he waited for a while before someone answered the phone. Xu Damao briefly explained the general situation of the trip, and said that the materials he brought were donated to the country, and let the country make its own arrangements, and then ended the call.

Xu Damao took out two buckets of milk powder and a bucket of malted milk from the space, and went to Nan Yi's house. Xu Damao knocked on the door and walked straight in.

"Lao Nan, I'm here to see your daughter."

"Hey, Damao, when did you come back? Weren't you on a business trip?" As a chef who specializes in cooking, Nan Yi is more well-informed than Yan Jiecheng. Occasionally, he would be dragged by the leaders to drink together. He heard this from Li Huaide.

"I came back last night. I happened to have something to do, so I came to see how the child was. I also got two buckets of milk powder for the child, and this bucket of malted milk is for my sister-in-law to nourish her body."

Ding Qiunan, who was in the room, and her mother who came to take care of her daughter also heard the noise. Ding Qiunan said through the door curtain, "Da Mao, thank you so much. If it weren't for your help, the child would have really been hungry for a few days. Sister-in-law won't go out now because it's not convenient. Brother Yi, please carry the child to the door and let Brother Damao take a look."

Nan Yi responded and went into the house to carry the child out, "Come, let me show you if my baby girl is pretty."

Xu Damao was a little speechless. How could a wrinkled child born ten days ago be pretty? It was just the parents' psychological effect. But he still praised her, "Well, pretty. With my sister-in-law Qiu Nan, it must be right. If it were up to you, this child would have a hard time finding a husband in the future."

"You are so mean. Come here, my daughter, and thank Uncle Damao for the milk powder. Now you can have enough to eat again." Nan Yi said, gently waving his daughter's little arm.

Xu Damao was thinking about whether to have a godfather. It would be more convenient for him to send things in the name of godfather. Nan Yi was the kitchen manager he had booked. It would be better if they could be closer. Anyway, Ezi and Ding Qiunan had a very good relationship, so they probably wouldn't object. Well, there was no rush. I could go back and discuss it with Ezi.

"Okay, I'm going to go back first. I haven't had dinner yet since I came out this afternoon."

"Go ahead. I'll give you the money in a couple of days when I get some milk powder tickets."

"Forget it. I still have the money you gave me last time. Why are you still being so serious? I'm leaving now."

Xu Damao went back to his room to get some vermicelli and dried mushrooms for Auntie Er to clean the house every week, but he saw black bugs in the open bag of food. It was because the weather was too hot and no one had taken care of it for a long time. He picked up two cloth bags, put them on his bicycle and pushed them to Yan Bugui's house in the front yard.

"Second uncle, have you finished your meal?"

"It's Damao. You've finished eating. You've finished eating. What are you doing?" Yan Bugui walked out directly after hearing the voice and saw the bag of grain on the back seat of Xu Damao's car at a glance.

"Hey, this business trip took too long, and the food is infested with insects. I don't live in the hospital for long, so I plan to take the food and share it with the people in need in the hospital." Xu Damao said.

"Oh, you as a leader have a high level of thinking. You always care about people in need." Yan Bugui praised him. At this time, let alone fine grains with worms, didn't you see that many people outside went to dig wild vegetables?

"Okay then. I'll trouble you with this matter, Uncle. I have a small matter to discuss with you." Xu Damao said as he took the bag of grain off the car and handed it to Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui took it and shook it. Wow, it weighs nearly 50 kilograms in total. Every poor family in the yard can get a lot.

"What do you need to discuss? If your uncle can do it, he will definitely not hesitate." Yan Bugui put the grain bag at the door and asked.

"It's like this. I haven't been home for a long time. There's a layer of dust at home. I would like to ask Second Aunt to help me clean it up."

"Is that all? Okay, I'll ask your second aunt to come over and help you clean it tomorrow."

"Don't be impatient, Second Uncle, I haven't finished what I want to say. I mean, it's not just this time. You see, I haven't come back very often recently, and I can't clean the house every time I come back. So I want Second Aunt to help me clean once a week, and I'll pay her five dollars a month for the labor fee."

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up when he heard this. He could earn five dollars by cleaning the house four times a month. This job was a sure win, and he wasn't taking advantage of it. However, he still pretended to refuse, and finally agreed reluctantly.

"Okay, don't refuse. This is fifteen yuan for three months. I won't give you this month's payment." Xu Damao took out fifteen yuan from his pocket and handed it over.

"It's my duty, it's my duty." Yan Bugui said with a smile as he took the money.

"The key is under the brick on the windowsill. Just put it there after you use it. I'm going home to eat first."

"Okay, then I won't keep you here." Yan Bugui watched Xu Damao go away, and then he went into the house with the money in one hand and the grain bag in the other. He also had to figure out which family was in more difficult situation, and distribute the grain to them tomorrow.
