Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

When Xiao Weiguo arrived at the gate, he felt relieved when he saw the slightly sturdy figure from a distance.

Look at this figure, it's definitely not Lou Xiao'e!

Xiao Weiguo looked around and saw that no one saw him, so he walked forward and pulled the person aside.

"Big sister, that's not right! Big sister! Are you here to find..."

When the woman saw that the person coming was not Xu Damao, she began to get anxious.

"Hey, I'm looking for Xu Damao! Does he live in this courtyard? I'm looking for him!"

The more anxious the woman was, the calmer Xiao Weiguo became. He waved his hand to signal her not to be impatient.

"Hey, big sister, I know you're looking for Xu Damao! But he's at work right now, and he's not in the yard at all. He and I are neighbors, so if you have anything urgent, just tell me! I'll definitely help you pass it on!"

The woman looked Xiao Weiguo up and down and felt that this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes did not look like a bad person at first glance.

He then told him everything about his situation.

"You really can't help me with this! I'll go find the baby's father!"

As she spoke, the woman subconsciously touched her belly, joy all over her face, she looked very happy.

This scared Xiao Weiguo, and his first reaction was suspicion.

Is Xu Damao's grandson recovered from his illness?

Can it actually be sown?

But looking at the woman's bulging belly, it's probably only three or four months...

It just so happened that Xu Damao had just returned three or four months ago. Could it be that she was pregnant when she left?

Xiao Weiguo scratched his head and suspected that Xu Damao was cheating on him.

"Big sister, Xu Damao is definitely not at home! You said you knew him, but I don't know your specific situation or true identity, so it's not good to let you into the yard rashly! How about this, I'll take you to the guesthouse to rest for a while, and when Damao gets off work, let him pick you up. Isn't this a good surprise for him?"

Xiao Weiguo said this with a smile. The woman thought for a while, tiptoed to look into the yard, and then nodded in agreement.

"You little guys, you must not tell anyone about this, okay? Take these candies and share them. This is a little secret between you and that auntie. If you tell Xu Damao, the surprise will be gone, right? You don't want to see Uncle Damao sad, do you?"

As he spoke, Xiao Weiguo took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket and distributed them to the children who were watching the fun. The children scrambled to grab the candies, shouting that they would never leak the news.

I must give Uncle Damao a surprise.

Xiao Weiguo then called Zhang Erhu, who was resting at home, and the two of them took the woman to a nearby guesthouse.

"Sister-in-law, where do you live? What's your name?"

Zhang Erhu is a few years younger than Xu Damao, so when he sees a woman he enthusiastically calls her sister-in-law.

The calls of "sister-in-law" made the woman no longer be on guard and even felt that everyone in the courtyard was very welcoming.

"I live in Dagang Village, which is the only village Damao invited people to go to the countryside! My name is Wang Fangfang!"

Zhang Erhu smiled and joked with Wang Fangfang, and the two chatted and laughed along the way.

Xiao Weiguo walked in front and led the way, occasionally interjecting a word or two, and soon they arrived at the guesthouse next to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Xiao Weiguo booked a room in the name of Xu Damao's wife and then arranged for someone to stay there.

"Comrade Wang Fangfang, you have traveled thousands of miles to find your husband. You must have been tired on the journey. The front desk will bring you food in a while. Please eat more!"

Seeing the two people in front of her being so passionate, Wang Fangfang finally let down her guard and suddenly started crying.

This crying scared Xiao Weiguo and Zhang Erhu.

"No, sister-in-law, why are you crying for no reason? I wonder if you think we didn't treat you well and bullied you!"

Zhang Erhu is a well-known honest and upright person in the hospital. He is a good guy who will not abandon you even if the whole world lets you down.

Although what you say in the courtyard has no weight, it is true and credible.

He never lied, interrupted or joked, and his words even carried more weight than those of an old man back then.

That's why Xiao Weiguo specially called him, and got some clues from Wang Fangfang!

"Comrade Wang Fangfang, coming here is like coming home. We are all your family! You can tell us if you have any difficulties."

Xiao Weiguo felt that there must be some unknown secret between this woman and Xu Damao, so he began to investigate.

Zhang Erhu said bluntly, "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, please tell me now. Brother Xiao is the head of the purchasing department of the steel mill. He is Xu Damao's leader in terms of title and position! If you have any difficulties, he will definitely help you if he can!"

Xiao Weiguo nodded affirmatively, "Yes, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, and I will definitely find a way to help if I can help you solve it."

After hearing what Xiao Weiguo said, Wang Fangfang was almost moved to tears.

"Chief Xiao, you are the leader, you have to make the decision for me!"

As she said this, Wang Fangfang was about to kneel down, which scared Zhang Erhu.

"Erhu, go open the door!"

Xiao Weiguo originally thought that it wouldn't make such a big fuss, but at this moment Wang Fangfang was crying and wiping her tears, and outsiders who heard the sound would have wild thoughts. For the sake of his reputation, the door had to be opened.

Otherwise, you might be mistaken for a hooligan and caught.

"Section Chief Xiao...I..."

As soon as Wang Fangfang opened her mouth, tears couldn't stop flowing down her cheeks, and she looked really aggrieved.

Xiao Weiguo waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to be so polite.

"Comrade Wang Fangfang, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Weiguo! Xu Damao and I are about the same age. Based on seniority, I should call you sister-in-law! If you have anything to say, just tell me. If Xu Damao bullies you, I won't forgive him!"

This was indeed true, and Zhang Erhu nodded vigorously to show his agreement.

Wang Fangfang wiped her tears and her voice was choked for a moment.

"Xu Damao hasn't written to me for two months since he returned to the city! Before he left, he said he would write to me every week and send money home every month, but there has been no news in the past two months, not to mention money, not even letters. I'm scared! So I came to find him now."

Wang Fangfang cried in distress. Xiao Weiguo and Zhang Erhu looked at each other and said that this was in line with Xu Damao's usual style.

But this is a big deal!

Let’s not talk about the relationship between Xu Damao and Wang Fangfang for now. Now that the woman has come to him with a big belly, if this gets out of hand and Xu Damao is charged with having a problematic lifestyle, he will be in big trouble.

"Sister-in-law, I'd like to ask, are you married to Xu Damao?"

Xiao Weiguo asked with a smile, but in fact he had already guessed about 70% of the answer.

Given Xu Damao's irresponsible attitude, how could he marry a rural woman?

That is absolutely impossible!

When it comes to marriage, Wang Fangfang nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, we are married! We even held a wedding banquet in the village. The villagers can prove it to me! Otherwise, if the child in my belly has an unknown origin, I will not have any reputation anymore!"

Wang Fangfang cried while wiping her tears.

When Xu Damao first arrived in the village, he lived a very poor life. If it weren't for his family's help, he would have starved to death.
