Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

When Liu Ping'an went to Xiaoyan to discuss the decoration of the courtyard, Xu Damao had already ridden his slightly old bicycle and embarked on a journey to the countryside to show movies. He was in a particularly cheerful mood, as if every turn of the bicycle wheel drove the abacus in his mind, crackling, calculating how to make some profits from this screening.

Along the way, Xu Damao hummed a little tune and happily enjoyed the scenery along the way. The breath of spring filled the air, the trees on both sides of the road began to grow tender green leaves, and the birds sang happily, as if welcoming his arrival. The sun was shining and the breeze was blowing on his face, making him feel extremely comfortable.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, the villagers who had been waiting for a long time immediately recognized him and shouted, "The projectionist is here! There will be a movie tonight!" For a moment, the whole village was in a frenzy. The children excitedly surrounded Xu Damao, and the adults eagerly discussed what movie would be shown in the evening.

Xu Damao looked at the lively scene in front of him with pride, secretly delighted in his heart. The enthusiasm of these villagers for movies was his chance to make money. He believed that as long as he used his brain a little, he could get a lot of benefits from them. Thinking of this, a sly smile appeared on his face.

"I heard there's a new movie this time and people in the city will love to watch it!" a villager said excitedly.

"Yes, our village hasn't been this lively for a long time." Another villager echoed.

"Comrade projectionist, you have to show us a good movie. Everyone in our village is looking forward to it!" Another villager shouted to Xu Damao impatiently.

Hearing these discussions, Xu Damao felt even more proud. He was secretly happy and thought that this trip to the village to show the movie was really worth it. He thought to himself that he must make good use of this opportunity to let the villagers "show their appreciation", otherwise how could he justify the bumpy journey he had gone through?

At this time, the village chief heard the news and rushed over. He warmly shook Xu Damao's hand and said gratefully: "Comrade projectionist, you really brought good news to our village! Everyone is looking forward to seeing you!" After that, the village chief led Xu Damao to his home, while walking, he introduced the situation in the village to Xu Damao, and finally invited Xu Damao to his home for dinner.

Xu Damao followed the village chief, and his mind was thinking faster. As he walked, he carefully observed the surrounding environment and found that the houses here were neat, the streets were clean, and the villagers were all dressed appropriately. He couldn't help but think: "This village looks quite wealthy, there must be a lot of benefits to be gained!"

Thinking of this, Xu Damao's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sly smile. He secretly thought that when he met the village chief later, he must behave well and try to leave a good impression on him. Then, he would find a suitable opportunity to make some "requests" to the village chief, which would not only make his pockets fatter, but also would not arouse other people's suspicion.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, the village chief quickly took out the best food in the house to entertain Xu Damao, and then took out a bottle of wine and asked to drink a glass with Xu Damao. The two chatted while drinking, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. After three rounds of drinking, Xu Damao told the village chief that he brought a new movie, but because of the long journey, he was a little tired.

The village chief immediately expressed his understanding and assured Xu Damao that he would arrange a screening venue for tonight as soon as possible to ensure that everything goes smoothly. At the same time, he also hoped that Xu Damao could stay for a few more days so that everyone in the village could see the new film.

After dinner, Xu Damao drove the car into the yard. He walked into a shabby house filled with various projection equipment and films. He carefully checked the equipment and made sure everything was working properly before leaving the house with confidence.

At this time, night gradually fell, and the villagers came to the square in the center of the village one after another, waiting for the movie to start. Xu Damao calmly set up the screen and adjusted the projector, ready to bring everyone a wonderful movie feast. As the movie played, the villagers were immersed in the story, sometimes laughing, sometimes nervous, and completely forgot the world around them. Xu Damao sat aside, watching this scene proudly, thinking about how to make more profits from this movie screening.

However, Xu Damao did not realize at this time that his wishful thinking might encounter some obstacles. After all, the people here were not as easy to be deceived as he imagined. Moreover, he came to the countryside to show movies with a mission. If he failed to complete the mission, he would not only not get any benefits, but might also be punished.

Meanwhile, in the cozy little house where Zheng Niang returned to her mother's home, the atmosphere was a little solemn. Zheng Niang's parents sat at the table, with some worry in their eyes. They looked at their daughter with mixed feelings. Zheng Niang knew what they were thinking about, which was nothing more than her and Xu Damao's life, and the little life that had not yet arrived.

"Damao went to the countryside to show movies again?" the mother asked softly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

"Yes, Mom, he is busy with work, and I understand." Zheng Niang tried her best to make her tone sound relaxed, but she could not hide the helplessness in her heart.

She mainly felt that it would be better if she had sex with Xu Damao once or twice, otherwise it would be difficult for her to explain how the child came about.

The father sighed and said, "It's not that we don't understand his work, but when will this period of being apart end? We all hope to have a grandchild soon."

When Zheng Niang heard what her parents said, she felt sad.

She was not jealous of Xu Damao, but she felt uncomfortable about having to commit herself to Xu Damao.

She wanted to live a peaceful life with her lover and give her parents a grandson soon, but the reality of life was always not as expected.

She could only marry Xu Damao "unhappily".

"Mom and Dad, don't worry. When Damao comes back this time, I will talk to him about changing jobs." Zheng Niang said firmly, with a determined light in her eyes. She knew that for the happiness of herself and her family, she had to make a change.

Regardless of anything else, at least we have to make Xu Damao believe that the child is his!

Meanwhile, in the village square, the movie was almost over. The villagers were immersed in the plot of the movie and reluctant to leave. Xu Damao sat aside, proudly counting the money in his hand. He felt that he had made a lot of money by showing movies in the countryside. Not only did he receive a warm welcome from the villagers, but he also got a lot of benefits.

However, he didn't know that his behavior had caused dissatisfaction among some villagers. They felt that Xu Damao was too greedy and used the opportunity of showing movies to seek personal gain. And these dissatisfactions were also quietly spreading...
