Siheyuan: Starting from the driver

Chapter 702 Strong Medicine Harms the Body (Kidneys)

The next morning.

Qin Huairu prepared breakfast early in the morning.

"Bang Geng, remember to go to school after you finish eating."

"Okay," Banggeng mumbled casually as he buried his head in his food.

"Xiao Dang, keep an eye on your sister."

"it is good!"

After instructing the two children, Qin Huairu went to work.

It was Friday, the first day after Children's Day. Tomorrow was Saturday, a holiday. Qin Huairu even asked Yan Bugui if he wanted to go to school tomorrow.

“Go to school? No need to go.” Yan Bugui replied, but then, thinking of the fire at the Jia family’s house yesterday, he added, “Going is fine, but there’s no academic schedule at school.”

"If I go, I'll just play at school. Then I'll have no homework. It doesn't matter whether I go or not."

"Alright, thank you, Uncle. I'll let Banggeng go."

Regarding yesterday's incident involving playing with fire, Qin Huairu felt that rather than letting Bang Geng stay at home and cause trouble, it would be better to send him to school. Whether he learns or not is not important; the important thing is not to let him stay at home.

Steel rolling mill.

workshop.

As soon as Qin Huairu arrived, several of her coworkers immediately surrounded her.

"Xiao Qin, how are you? Is everything alright at home?"

"Yes, you really gave everyone a fright yesterday. How's the fire? Did it burn down any houses? Was anyone hurt?"

"Yes, how is your child? Is he alright?"

Everyone's concern warmed Qin Huairu's heart, and she quickly waved her hand:

"Don't worry, everyone. Everything is fine at home. The fire was put out as soon as it started, so it won't have any impact. I'm sorry to have worried you all."

"Oh, that's good. It's good that nothing happened." Everyone was relieved.

"By the way, how did this fire start? Could someone have set it on fire? If so, we'd better be careful."

"No, the police said it was an accidental fire, no one started it, and they told us to be careful in our yard."

How could Qin Huairu possibly reveal the whole story about how she stirred up trouble?

"It's good that it wasn't ordered by a human. Judging from your energy, you probably didn't sleep well last night?"

"Yes, I tossed and turned most of the night, afraid that the embers would reignite, so I couldn't sleep. It felt like I had a fire burning in my heart." Qin Huairu gave a wry smile.

After showing their concern, it was time for everyone to return to their work stations.

Guo Da Piezi watched Qin Huairu return to work, but didn't mention that she had left without saying goodbye the day before.

After all, the incident happened suddenly, and he couldn't very well use it to criticize others, especially since people aren't easy to manipulate.

"Director Guo."

Suddenly, Li Kailang's voice came.

"Master Li," Guo Dapiezi greeted him with a smile.

Ever since the conflict between the transport team and the third workshop, everyone has shown more respect for the transport team.

After all, the products produced still need to be transported by a transport team to complete the final transportation task.

The sooner we finish the task, the sooner we receive the money, the better for both of us.

"Director Guo, here's the task sheet." Li Kailang skillfully took out the task sheet for Guo Da Piezi to sign.

"Get a few apprentices to help load the stuff onto the truck." While signing the papers, Guo Da Piezi didn't forget to instruct people to do the work.

While loading the truck, the two chatted idly.

"Master Li, you've been quite busy lately, haven't you?"

Li Kailang nodded: "I'm so busy. These past few days I've been busy transporting coal. It's still the beginning of the month, and I also have to work on tasks at the factory. I'm constantly on the go, I can't find a moment to relax."

"Busy, yeah, the beginning of the month is the busiest." Guo Da Piezi didn't know how to respond.

It's good to say we're busy, because we're not trying to work people to death. It's good to say we're not busy, because that means the factory isn't making any money.

After a moment of silence, the apprentices were almost loaded onto the truck.

"Alright, I still have a lot of work to do today. I'm not going to chat with Director Guo anymore, I'm going to get to work."

"Be careful on the road."

Rumbling--

Qin Huairu stared blankly as Li Kailang's car drove away, lost in thought.

The truck drove out of the steel mill and headed straight for the mission location.

It's almost time to get off work.

"Sigh, finally all the deliveries are done."

After delivering the goods to the last commune, Li Kailang stretched and was about to go back.

"Hey, isn't that Xu Damao?"

Suddenly, a commotion in the distance caught his attention.

On the threshing ground of the commune compound, a white projection screen was unusually hung up.

A few little kids were chattering excitedly around a metal box, even trying to reach out and touch the knobs on it.

"Hey! Don't touch it! The projector is expensive! If you break it, you won't be able to pay for it even if you sell yourselves!" Xu Damao shouted.

"Xu Damao is dressed quite properly!"

Xu Damao was wearing a set of work clothes, and his hair was slicked back with oil, as if oil could drip out with every flick of his head.

He was carefully taking a large roll of film from another large wooden box and loading it onto the projector.

A girl wearing a brand-new floral dress and with two thick, black braids was holding a large enamel teacup, watching him operate it with bright eyes.

The girl had a tall and straight figure, full breasts, and a healthy, rosy complexion typical of country girls.

"Xu, projectionist, have some water." The girl with the braids held a large teacup to Xu Damao's lips, her voice as clear and crisp as a mountain stream.

"Thank you." Xu Damao took the cup, casually touched the girl's hand, and then gently patted it.

His laughter was tinged with frivolity and smugness: "Oh, Peach Blossom, you're so thoughtful, much better than many of those in the city who only know how to work!"

"Projectionist Xu~" Peach Blossom Girl felt embarrassed after being praised by Xu Damao.

However, she leaned closer to Xu Damao, her body moving towards him more intentionally or unintentionally, her eyes and brows revealing an undisguised allure.

He completely ignored the laughter of the teenagers next to him.

"This Xu Damao is truly a leopard that can't change its spots. He's always restless wherever he goes, and what a womanizer!" Li Kailang shook his head.

After installing the machine, Xu Damao straightened up, cleared his throat, and addressed the commune members returning from the threshing ground:

"Folks, look! Tonight, we're showing you a brand new movie! I guarantee it'll be great!"

"I, Xu Damao, went through a lot of trouble and pulled a lot of strings to get this! It wasn't easy!"

The commune members were stunned by his words, but their eyes were full of anticipation.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely come tonight."

"Me too."

Everyone is really looking forward to the new film.

Taking advantage of a spare moment, Xu Damao magically pulled a small paper packet from his pocket, revealing a few fruit candies.

"Here, Peach Blossom, take this." Xu Damao stuffed the candy into her hand and then patted her arm.

He smiled wickedly and said, "Are you hungry? Have something to eat first."

"Thank you, projectionist Xu."

"Hey, no need to be so formal, just call me Brother Da Mao."

"Yes, Brother Mao." Peach Blossom lowered her head shyly, a deeper blush rising on her face.

Without the slightest hesitation, she leaned close to Xu Damao's ear and boldly responded.

"Hahaha~" The two burst into laughter, their eyes locked in a sweet, intimate embrace.

"Brother, I want candy too!" a few kids clamored.

"Go away, go away, you bunch of little brats, what do you want? You still want this candy? Go ask your parents for it." The children were indignant, but Xu Damao still chased them away.

Xu Damao leaned close to Tao Hua's ear and whispered, "After the movie airs tonight, let's find somewhere to have some fun, okay?"

But Li Kailang could guess what he was saying from a distance, even from a lewd smile and ambiguous eyes, and his heart churned.

"This Xu Damao~"

Li Kailang shook his head, looking at the two of them so affectionately, he could guess what would happen next.

What shocked Li Kailang even more was yet to come.

Xu Damao was probably aroused by Tao Hua'er's bold and provocative gaze, his face glistening with excitement.

He glanced quickly to the left and right, and saw that the surrounding commune members' attention was not on him, and that the child had been chased away by him.

He quickly pulled a small medicine bottle from the pocket of his work clothes on his chest; it had no label on it.

But when Li Kailang saw the medicine bottle, he immediately guessed what it was.

"That bastard Xu Damao actually carries medicine with him and even intends to use it. He'd even give a little girl medicine! Unbelievable!"

Li Kailang was utterly speechless and didn't even want to say anything about Xu Damao.

"Never mind, out of sight, out of mind."

Li Kailang immediately drove away.

night.

After dinner, everyone went out to watch a movie.

"Everyone's here, I'll start showing the movie right away!"

Xu Damao couldn't wait to operate the projector and show everyone a movie.

The members' eyes were completely drawn to the fierce battle on the screen, and gasps of amazement and cheers rose and fell in waves.

Once everyone was engrossed in watching, they immediately approached Peach Blossom.

"Peach blossoms~"

"Brother Da Mao~"

Xu Damao quietly pulled Tao Hua away from this crowded and noisy place.

Taking advantage of his free time, he also took a precious medicine.

After swallowing, Xu Damao glanced greedily at the alluring curves of the locust flower, seemingly feeling it wasn't safe enough.

He poured out another one and quickly tossed it into his mouth! He swallowed it with a gulp!
After taking the medicine, Xu Damao licked his lips, his eyes greedily scanning Huaihua's body, looking as impatient as if he couldn't wait to take her right there and then.

"Brother Da Mao~"

"Peach blossoms~"

The two roosted together in the grass.

at the same time.

"Achoo achoo~"

Sai Fengxian, who was far away in the courtyard, suddenly sneezed a few times.

"That's strange. The weather isn't cold, so why did they suddenly start fighting?" Sai Fengxian touched her nose, her breathing becoming easier.

"I wonder how Da Mao is doing showing movies in the countryside? I wonder if he's been seduced by some vixen."

"If you really hook up with some vixen, see how I deal with you!" Sai Fengxian said viciously.

Of course, Sai Fengxian was just saying those harsh words.

She knew that the methods she used to "rise to power" were underhanded, but that did not prevent her from having extreme distrust of Xu Damao and a strong possessive desire for him.

Xu Damao is a womanizer; he can't be kept.

And at this moment.

Xu Damao was busy with his grand plan.

Behind a secluded haystack by the threshing ground, insects chirped, creating a beautiful scene.

Xu Damao, nicknamed "Peach Blossom," felt the effects of the medicine surge up like flames.

"Brother Da Mao" Peach Blossom said half-heartedly, her voice sweet and sticky, which sounded quite pleasant.

Yet she also possessed the bold, straightforward, and fiery enthusiasm of a country girl, secretly snuggling into Xu Damao's arms.

Just when Xu Damao was eager to "get on his horse and take up arms," ​​it was a crucial moment.

An indescribable, sharp pain, like being pricked by a needle, suddenly exploded from his waist and abdomen, like a hand grenade exploding!

"Ouch!"

Xu Damao gritted his teeth and tensed up, and beads of sweat immediately appeared on his shiny forehead.

"Pain~"

She suddenly arched her back, clutching her stomach, feeling as if her stomach was churning violently.

"Brother Da Mao? What's wrong? Don't scare me!"

Peach Blossom was startled. Looking at Xu Damao's pained expression, she was completely baffled. Wasn't he just energetic and vigorous a moment ago?
Xu Damao gasped in pain, his voice trembling, his face turning from crimson to pale and then back to ashen, and his stomach churned violently.

"Ugh."

Xu Damao could no longer hold back. He suddenly pushed Tao Hua'er away and bent over to violently retch into the grass beside him.

He couldn't vomit anything, and his whole body was shivering and convulsing. His hands and feet started to feel numb and weak.

He felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if the world was spinning around him, and his whole body was out of his control.

"Brother Da Mao! What... what happened? Don't scare me!"

Peach Blossom panicked completely, looking at Xu Damao's terrible state, she had no idea what to do.

She wanted to help Xu Damao, but she was afraid and dared not offer her assistance.

"Get away from me." Xu Damao was no longer in the mood for anything romantic; he was in so much pain that he couldn't bear it.

This embarrassing scene made him wish he could dig a hole and crawl into it.

Having her fun spoiled and quite frightened, Peach Blossom's feelings vanished when she saw Xu Damao's half-dead and aloof demeanor.

She stomped her foot and muttered under her breath, "Bad luck!"

He didn't care about Xu Damao anymore, hurriedly straightened his clothes, and turned to run towards the crowded threshing ground.

Xu Damao slumped alone behind the haystack, the sounds of villagers laughing and joking coming from the threshing ground in his ears.

Although the churning pain in my stomach had eased slightly, my body still felt weak and limp.

In the distance, a guard dog, startled by the approaching haystack, barked a few times.

Under the cover of night, only Xu Damao's disheveled figure remained, shivering beside the haystack, completely out of place with the lively atmosphere on the threshing ground.

He had only one thought in his mind: "I'm doomed, I'm doomed, please don't let anyone see me!"

At this moment, Xu Damao regretted why he had taken two Qianjinfang pills at once; one would have been enough.

At this moment, there is no sign of being in high spirits; it is clearly a night of terror, a disarrayed and humiliating defeat.

"That shouldn't be the case. I ate two before and nothing happened. Why is it like this time?"

"No way! I have to settle the score with Li Kailang when I get back. He made me look so foolish, it would be an injustice if I didn't get my revenge!"

Let's put aside the trouble we're causing for Li Kailang for now; the most urgent thing is to get through this situation first.

"A rustling--"

A rustling sound came from the grass.

"Please don't come any closer! Please don't come any closer!" Xu Damao prayed incessantly.

Suddenly, a childlike voice rang out:

"Hey, uncle, what are you doing here?"

A cute little girl, about four or five years old, appeared before them, tilting her head to look at Xu Damao lying on the grass.

"I...I didn't do anything," Xu Damao replied weakly.

The little girl tilted her head and looked at Xu Damao carefully, pondering for a while.

Finally, as if guessing something, she placed a finger beside her cheek and asked innocently:
"Uncle, are you here to take a dump?!"
