Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

Chapter 144 Silly and Sweet Lou Xiao'e

Backyard Xu Family

"Ezi, get up and eat!" Xu Damao shouted as he put two large bowls of sweet potato millet porridge on the table.

There was also a small plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, a plate of pickles, and a plate of fermented beans on the table, which showed that life was rich.

"Da Mao, why are you eating these again? I don't have any appetite!" Lou Xiao'e felt a little bad when she saw the sweet potatoes.

"Ezi, please don't be so hypocritical. This is all. It's unique in our courtyard! Take the second uncle in the backyard for example. He is such a particular person! You see, he didn't ask me to buy eggs for him in February and March, and now he eats steamed bread every day."

Xu Damao knew that Lou Xiao'e had never suffered any hardship and was not hungry. You could see that there were people lining up for the泔水桶 at the steel rolling mill every day.

"Well, but I don't want to eat!" Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips and snorted.

"Eat quickly, otherwise Banggeng will smell it and will definitely cry and make a fuss!" Because the food at home was better, Xu Damao was afraid of being discovered, so he started his special forces operations.

He starts cooking when others are cooking, and he finishes cooking before others do. He has almost finished eating when others just start to serve the food.

"Okay then! I see that there is not much rice and flour left at home. I will go to dad's house tomorrow and bring back some flour. You can make steamed buns for me!" After hearing what he said, Lou Xiao'e reluctantly started to eat.

Banggeng has now become the trouble of the courtyard. He used to steal food from children, but now he has become the one who waits at the door of someone's house and cries hungry. You can't hit him or scold him, or the final big boss Jia Zhang will appear in front of you.

In the end, you still have to give the things, and you are still very angry. Lou Xiao'e was blackmailed for a steamed bun, and the scene is still vivid in her mind.

"It's not good for us to go and get it so often. Everyone's ration is so small now, and my parents don't have any surplus food, right?" Xu Damao's heart moved, and he asked with a bit of embarrassment.

Although he has some abilities, the situation outside is like this now, and he is helpless even if he has no rice.

Most of the Xu family's food was supplied by the Lou family, and Xu Damao also secretly sent a lot to Xu Fugui.

"It's okay. There were often wars before liberation, so my father had a habit of storing food at home. Although we don't have much food now, it's enough for our family to eat for two years!"

"Besides, my dad is rich. He bought a lot of expensive food and snacks at home. His life is many times more comfortable than ours." The naive girl was caught off guard and sold out her dad for nothing.

"Oh, our dad is really foresighted, isn't it put to use now! But don't go alone, it's too dangerous outside now. I'll go with you after I get off work!" Xu Damao rolled his eyes and said with a smile.

This was the first time he heard of this. He used to think that his father-in-law just had some money, but he donated it all to the country. He didn't expect that he even had a private granary.

Even though nothing is as important as food outside now, it will recover very quickly. No one will care about your gifts at that time. After all, adding icing on the cake is not as important as sending charcoal in the snow.

If you can do a little more, help your leaders solve their problems, and lend a hand to your fellow workers, then it will be easy to make progress.

"Da Mao, I'm almost suffocated at home every day. There's no one to talk to. I don't know if Camellia is tired working on the farm!" When Lou Xiao'e heard that she had to wait for Xu Damao to get off work, she suddenly felt that life was getting difficult again.

When Chahua was here, she called herself Sister Xiao'e every day, which made her very happy. Recently, the Li family has run out of food, and I heard that Li Guohua took her to the farm to work in exchange for food.

"Well, don't worry about her! Li Guohua likes her so much, why would he let her work? He is afraid that his sister will starve, so he brought her to the farm to eat dry food and drink thick water, and she won't live a happy life!"

Since Li Guohua recovered, he has become a different person, speaking and acting smoothly, and handling things with great experience. After working for more than a year, he has climbed to the level of a section-level cadre, which should be the pinnacle of the common people in Siheyuan.

This also makes Xu Damao more willing to associate with him. Only by investing in such a person will he not let you suffer losses. Only such a person can help you in the future.

---------------------

After running around the city, Li Guohua thought of someone again.

Life is so difficult now and it must be hard for her to be alone, so she decided to go over and take a look.

In the western suburbs of Beijing, under a big elm tree, a man and a woman were walking on the road.

"Ladi, let me tell you, I can read palms! Come, stretch out your hand and let me see!" A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, wearing a Zhongshan suit, said with a smile.

"Oh, you're such a high-ranking leader and you still believe this!" Liang Ladi said with an unnatural smile.

She knew very well some of the men's thoughts.

"Let me tell you, there was a fortune teller who did fortune-telling for my dad back then, and I also learned some tricks from him!" The middle-aged man saw that Liang Ladi was not understanding, so he grabbed her sleeve and refused to let go.

"Then tell me what my future will be like."

The tug-of-war between the two was really unpleasant to watch, so Liang Ladi had no choice but to stretch out her hand for the other person to read his palm.

"Oh, you have an extraordinary life. Look at your line. It splits in the middle, which means you will suffer a lot when you are young, but it connects again at the end, which means your life will get better in the future!"

"Besides, in the future you will marry a man older than you, and you will have a child after marriage. Your future life will be happy." The middle-aged man touched Liang Ladi's little hand, and he felt so happy in his heart.

As for what he said about appearance and fate, he was just dreaming.

"Really? Then I'll be waiting!"

Liang Ladi pulled her hand back, saying she was ticklish, and laughed along with the man.

"That's for sure. As long as you are willing to marry me, I will treat you well in the future. When the time comes, we will have another child. Isn't that in line with the palm reading?" said the middle-aged man with a smile.

In his opinion, although he is a leader of the Grain Bureau and is a dozen years older than you, the fact that he can marry a widow like you is a blessing you have earned in several lifetimes.

"Oh, isn't this too fast? I haven't thought about it yet!" Liang Ladi thought to herself, if it weren't for your little bit of food, I wouldn't act with you.

"Ladi, you see we have been walking for such a long time, why don't we find a place to rest!" The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked around and said.

"Okay, this place is pretty good!"

Liang Ladi pointed to a big rock on the side of the road and said that she had sat on it first.
