Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

After Xu Damao loaded the projector into the truck, he set off with great enthusiasm.

Although the journey is long and bumpy, it cannot resist the wildness in my heart.

He just didn't believe that he was really unable to do it.

It’s hard to say whether it’s my own problem or Lou Xiao’e’s problem!

I hummed a little tune all the way and walked slowly towards Qingshui Village.

From a distance, he saw a crowd of people gathered at the entrance of the village. Xu Damao raised the corner of his mouth and touched his stomach which had been rumbling with hunger, thinking that he could finally have a full meal.

And I don’t have to cook and serve others myself. Thinking of this, I can’t help but think of Lou Xiaoe.

She has a maid to take care of her at home, so naturally she doesn't know anything after marriage. The first time she cooked, she directly ruined a whole pot of food and two large bowls. If she continued like this, Xu Damao was really afraid that she would set the house on fire, so he simply stopped asking her to go into the kitchen.

But the responsibility of cooking can only fall on him.

That's right. Ever since he got married, he has been hanging around the kitchen every day. Even preparing meals in the morning and evening is exhausting enough for him, so how can he have the energy to do any serious work at night?

As he thought about it, Xu Damao's knot in his heart seemed to be untied a little.

Not so sad anymore.

The closer he got to the village entrance, the more excited he became.

There was a thick lewd smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Hey guys, here I come!"

Before getting off the car, Xu Damao greeted everyone, but everyone was silent and no one responded.

Xu Damao glanced at everyone, and seeing that he was not taken seriously, he instantly frowned, thinking that he would have to drink a few more glasses later.

"Hey, the movie show is here!"

Xu Damao was afraid that no one could hear him, so he just shouted loudly.

Only then did someone in the crowd notice him.

"Hey, the projectionist is here!"

"Village Chief, the projectionist is here!"

Everyone was talking about it, and the village chief finally took the time to squeeze out of the crowd.

However, when he dodged, Xu Damao saw a familiar figure.

That’s not right, he… shouldn’t do this!

Xu Damao rubbed his eyes in a daze. It seemed as if his ears were blocked and he could not hear the voices of others.

His eyes were shining as he stared at the person in the crowd!

"Brother Xiao? Why are you here?!"

After hearing this, everyone turned to look at Xiao Weiguo who was smoking, with confusion in their eyes.

Xiao Weiguo exhaled a puff of smoke, then slowly stood up and walked towards Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, what a coincidence, it's fate!"

As he said that, he walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder. Xu Damao looked confused.

"It's not Brother Xiao, it's really you, what are you doing here?"

Xu Damao was somewhat afraid of Xiao Weiguo. Having such a shrewd person in the village would definitely affect his plans.

The village chief saw that the two knew each other and spoke slowly, "Weiguo, it seems that you two know each other? Today is a double happiness for our Qingshui Village. Not only is the projectionist coming to the village to show movies, but Section Chief Xiao is also coming to the village to visit relatives and friends. We must have a drink tonight and bring out the best wine and food to entertain the two of you."

The village chief's high-pitched voice was very loud, his back was straight and his face was serious. Xu Damao had guessed that the village chief's identity was not simple. He became the village chief at such a young age, in his thirties. Perhaps he was a retired soldier.

Since they are here to visit relatives and friends, and Xiao Weiguo has been hanging out in the military region with his parents since he was a child, it seems that the relationship between the two is very close.

But this isn't a coincidence. I'm here to do something important, so why is Xiao Weiguo here too?

It seems that we must be more cautious.

"May I ask your surname?"

The village chief asked politely, and Xu Damao responded with a smile, "I..."

"Brother Changjiang, just call him Big Cat!"

Xiao Weiguo interrupted and everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard the name Big Cat, and then they realized that Big Cat was Damao!

That night, Xiao Weiguo and Xu Damao had dinner at the village chief's house, and several brave and warlike villagers were also sitting at the same table.

Wang Changjiang specially called him to drink with him.

At the dinner table, Wang Changjiang took Xiao Weiguo's hand and chatted about family matters. He was even more surprised to learn that he was already married.

"Weiguo, you didn't even tell me that you were getting married. That's really mean of you. Drink a glass of wine right now!"

Changjiang spoke very boldly, which left Xu Damao stunned.

I always feel like this conversation is like going to war.

Xiao Weiguo was not shy and stood up to fill the two people's glasses. The other people at the table naturally did not dare to enjoy this treatment. They stood up, took the bottles and poured themselves a glass.

"Brother Changjiang, this cup of wine is my wedding wine. You can't be so ungrateful."

Speaking of wedding wine, no one at the table would refuse to give face, and after a glass of wine, Xu Damao felt hot all over and a little excited.

"Weiguo, you are now the section chief of the steel mill, a big shot. Did you encounter any difficulties when you came to the village to find me this time?"

Wang Changjiang is a smart man. Although the two have not been in contact for a long time, it is because they were assigned to different places after returning to their hometowns.

There were no mobile phones or pagers in that era, and there was no way to communicate at all.

And this time Xiao Weiguo suddenly came to the door, of course there was something going on.

"Brother Changjiang, you still know me so well. This time I really need your help. Although everyone calls me the section chief, the title sounds good, but the burden on me is not light. The procurement task is difficult to handle now, and the procurement task of the branch factory has also been assigned to us, so I thought of you, brother, to see if the village can help us."

Before he finished speaking, a relieved smile appeared on Wang Changjiang's face.

"Weiguo, I'm very happy that you can find me when you have something to do. I'm not bragging, but our village is the best in the surrounding villages!"

Seeing Wang Changjiang’s thumbs up, Xiao Weiguo knew that it was true.

So the two of them drank happily, and Xu Damao became more and more excited as he drank.

However, because I had something on my mind, I didn't blindly take three steps to get myself drunk this time.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was almost drunk. Xiao Weiguo squinted his eyes and glanced at Xu Damao. This guy was pouring wine on the ground with a sly look. It seemed that something big was going to happen tonight!

"Brother Changjiang, this wine is too strong, I..."

Xiao Weiguo stumbled and almost fell when he stood up. Wang Changjiang quickly supported him and said, "Hey, brother Weiguo, you can't drink much."

"Wait a minute, I'll help you get on the kang and have a good sleep."

"No, no, brother Changjiang, aren't you asking me to pee on the kang?"

As they talked, the two of them walked outside to take care of the discharge while laughing.

Xu Damao looked left and then looked again. He didn't expect that the guys who were serving drinks were so drunk. Although they looked dazed, they were still sitting steadily and standing upright.

If I hadn't been a little clever, I would have been drunk long ago.

"Oh, I feel dizzy too. This wine really makes me dizzy. It makes me dizzy..."

"Brother Xu? Are you drunk too?"

As he spoke, Xu Damao stood up dazedly and staggered towards the big kang.

"Hurry up and help Brother Xu to get on the kang to rest."
