Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Chapter 242: Encounter in the Countryside

As the security department did not tell anyone about Xu Damao's affair, no one knew much about it except He Daqing.

Since the factory didn't say anything, He Daqing, of course I won't talk about this matter.

Therefore, the neighbors in the courtyard didn’t know that Xu Damao’s plan to marry a “rich lady” had fallen through. Everyone was still waiting to see what this “rich lady” looked like and why she would be so desperate as to marry Xu Damao, a divorced man.

Little did they know that at this time Xu Damao had already arrived at a not-so-big village on the outskirts of Sijiu City.

This village is called Qinjia Village, which is Qin Huairu’s hometown, but Xu Damao doesn’t know it.

This place is quite remote and few people come here to watch movies.

When the village chief learned that the filmmaker had arrived, he quickly and warmly welcomed him into the village committee.

Xu Damao is already very familiar with going to the countryside.

Facing the village chief of Qinjia Village, Xu Damao said impatiently: "Village Chief Qin, I will show you a movie tonight and go to another village tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about it."

Village chief Qin is also a seasoned man. How could he not understand the meaning of Xu Damao's words?

Who would show a movie in the countryside? Usually there would be at least two shows, and some places would at least show it over two nights, which means four movies.

It seems impossible not to bleed.

Thinking of this, Village Chief Qin began to worry again. Everyone’s life is not easy now.

Although the weather has been good this year and the crops in the fields can still produce some harvest, it is not yet the harvest season. The villagers are all eating relief food from the government. What can they use to entertain the projectionist?

After thinking about it, Village Chief Qin settled Xu Damao in the village committee first and went to discuss the matter with someone.

After searching everywhere, they finally found an old hen and some coarse grains to entertain Xu Damao.

At the same time, he also got two packs of production cigarettes and stuffed them into Xu Damao's pockets, saying, "Projectionist Xu, please keep these two packs of cigarettes. I know you've been working hard. I'll have someone cook a chicken for you later. Can you show us a few more shows tonight?"

Xu Damao also knew what the countryside was like nowadays. It was quite good to be able to get a chicken to treat himself. In addition, he collected the cigarettes, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Village Chief Qin. I see that everyone is very tired, so I will set off one more show tonight to relieve everyone's boredom."

After hearing this, Village Chief Qin said happily, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Projectionist Xu. You can take a rest first. When the food is ready, I'll have someone notify you. We can have a few drinks in the evening."

Only after Village Chief Qin left did Xu Damao lie down on the sofa in the village committee and fall into a deep sleep.

Just when he was half asleep, he heard someone shouting, "Comrade, wake up! Comrade, wake up! The village chief asked me to call you to eat!"

Xu Damao opened his confused eyes and looked at the pure and lovely face in front of him. His playful big eyes blinked, twinkling, so cute.

Xu Damao rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not dreaming. The girl in front of him was indeed extremely cute.

She was probably about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a well-proportioned figure, and was extremely beautiful.

Being stared at by Xu Damao, Qin Jingru's face gradually turned red. She glared at the pervert and said, "The village chief asked me to call you for dinner. Are you going or not? If you don't want to go, then we won't wait for you to eat."

Xu Damao finally came to his senses at this time. He quickly stood up and said, "Go, why not? Let's go."

After going out, Qin Jingru walked in front and Xu Damao followed behind her. Looking at the girl twisting and turning in front of him, Xu Damao felt like there were several cats scratching his heart and swallowed saliva frantically.

Perhaps women's sixth sense is too strong, or perhaps Xu Damao's eyes are too passionate, which made Qin Jingru, who was walking in front, feel very uncomfortable.

She turned around and said, "Can you hurry up? A lot of people are waiting for you. If you go too late, the food will be cold!"

Xu Damao trotted forward and walked side by side with Qin Jingru. He asked, "What's your name, girl? How old are you this year?"

Qin Jingru said indifferently: "My name is Qin Jingru, I am nineteen years old, why are you asking this?"

Xu Damao chuckled and said, "I thought you were not from this village. I have been to all the surrounding villages, but I have never seen a girl as beautiful as you."

"How can you talk like that? You're not a good person! My mom won't let me go out casually, so you definitely won't be able to see me!"

Although Qin Jingru was talking about Xu Damao, she was a little excited in her heart. People in the city said she was beautiful. Did that mean it would be easier for her to marry into the city?

Xu Damao continued, "No wonder I've never seen someone as beautiful as you. Do you hide all the beautiful girls at home and don't let them out?"

Qin Jingru said with a smile on her face: "Of course, a beautiful girl like me can't be seen casually by others. We have to find a husband from the city so that those country bumpkins won't be able to look at me casually!"

After listening to this, Xu Damao asked stupidly, "Why are you looking for people in the city? Isn't it good to have acquaintances in the village?"

Qin Jingru pouted and said, "Of course the city is better. My cousin married to the city. I heard that she has meat to eat every now and then, and she doesn't have to work. Her husband earns 20 to 30 yuan a month. I can't understand how she spends so much money."

"You don't know that every girl in our village envies my cousin for marrying well, so everyone hopes to marry in the city."

Xu Damao listened to this and thought about Qin Jingru's name.

He suddenly asked in disbelief, "What's your cousin's name? Isn't she Qin Huairu?"

Qin Jingru looked at him in surprise and shouted, "How do you know my cousin's name? Do you know her? Is she doing well now? I haven't seen her for a long time."

After confirming that it was Qin Huairu, Xu Damao felt a little overwhelmed.

How can this be fun? How can this world be so small? I have fallen in love with my ex-wife's sister. If Qin Jingru knew that I was her ex-brother-in-law, would she jump up and scratch his face?

But you can't ask for trouble at this time.

So Xu Damao said, "How can I not know you? Your cousin and I live in the same courtyard. She lives in the middle courtyard and I live in the back courtyard. We see each other almost every day."

Qin Jingru became even happier when she knew that Xu Damao and her cousin lived in the same yard.

She said happily, "That's great. My second uncle and his family haven't seen my cousin for a long time. You can tell them about my cousin later and make them happy."

After listening to Qin Jingru's words, Xu Damao realized that Qin Huairu might not have returned to her parents' home for a long time, and her family didn't even know that her husband Jia Dongxu had passed away.

Thinking of this, Xu Damao was already thinking about how to fool this girl who seemed to be inexperienced in the world.

My engagement had just been broken off, so if I could bring back such a beautiful girl, it would be able to save some face.
