Siheyuan Fortune Telling: Starting from a Buyer to Become an All-rounder
Chapter 49: Damao’s ambition and Shazhu’s panic.
"You haven't changed your clothes yet, aren't you going out today?"
After Xu Dongsheng finished making breakfast, Old Xu also got up. Seeing that Xu Dongsheng was still wearing shorts and a navy blue T-shirt, he immediately realized that Xu Dongsheng was not going out today.
"Well, I'm too tired these past two days. I've been to all the surrounding villages, and the sources of goods I can find are basically gone, so I need to go somewhere farther away. I'll rest today and go out tomorrow. I may not be back tomorrow night."
Xu Dongsheng nodded, indicating that Old Xu's guess was right. Old Xu didn't say anything after hearing this, but just ate quietly. In the past few days, he had already known that his son Xu Dongsheng had grown up, was sensible in doing things, and knew what was going on, so he didn't say anything more.
I can only pray in my heart, hoping that Xu Dongsheng can return safely.
"Hey, Dongsheng, you didn't go out today? I thought you left early, but you went out very early these two days."
Old Xu and the people in the courtyard went to work. Xu Dongsheng washed his and Old Xu's clothes and prepared to hang them out to dry. At this time, Xu Damao came out from the central courtyard pushing a bicycle. Seeing that Xu Dongsheng had not left yet, he greeted Xu Dongsheng.
"I've been riding my bike for the past two days, and my feet are almost worn out. I haven't found two sources of goods yet, so I've been running around in vain, so I'm going to take a break today."
Xu Dongsheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying that he had done a lot of useless work. Then he looked at Xu Damao's bicycle and asked him how he was doing.
"Hey, the villages near the Imperial City have basically been taken over by the buyers from the Forty-Nine City. There is no place for you. If you want to complete the task, you have to go to a far place.
The addresses I gave you are a little far away, but they basically have the goods. If you go there, you can get a few eggs, not to mention a lot. If it takes a long time, you should take the time to check. If the buyers from the Imperial City have gone to those places, you may not have much chance if you go there. "
After listening to Xu Dongsheng's story, Xu Damao looked at Xu Dongsheng as if he had expected it, and told Xu Dongsheng to hurry up and find a solution at the addresses he gave him, otherwise something might happen if he was too late.
"That's what I was thinking too. I plan to go to Daoxiang Village tomorrow to have a look. If that doesn't work out, I'll go for a walk around there. But I heard the weather there is even drier, so I'm afraid it's hard to get anything there."
Xu Dongsheng's answer agreed with Xu Damao's suggestion, but he still had some doubts in his heart.
"Hehe, you don't know this. Although it's dry over there, it's by the Yellow River. Are you standing by the Yellow River and complaining about being thirsty? Even if it's dry over there, someone will find a way to get water. Don't worry, if you go to Daoxiang Village, you will definitely be able to get dozens of kilograms of food, not to mention other things."
When Xu Damao heard Xu Dongsheng say that he was going, he hurriedly walked to Xu Dongsheng and whispered to him, telling him not to worry, that there would definitely be gains if he went, and that it would definitely be dozens of kilograms of grain.
"That's great. Thank you so much, Brother Damao. If I can get some food, I'll treat you to roast duck and soda."
Xu Dongsheng did not make too many promises. After all, if this succeeded, Xu Damao would also have contributed a lot.
"Hey, you said it, don't regret it later."
When Xu Damao heard Xu Dongsheng say that he would treat him to a meal later, he immediately admired Xu Dongsheng even more and thought that Xu Dongsheng was very capable.
"We are from the city of Sijiu. We are so determined that we can't go back on our word. Brother Damao, aren't you scolding me? By the way, Brother Damao, it's been a few days. How is your matter going?"
Xu Dongsheng and Xu Damao promised each other and didn't dwell on the matter anymore. He then asked Xu Damao how his plan of changing bicycles to pick up girls went.
"Hey, I don't know what happened, but suddenly the girl's father stopped letting me out. I've been hanging around their house for two days, and whenever I got close, I was chased away by their security guards. I guess the father knew about this and didn't agree with it."
When Xu Damao heard Xu Dongsheng mention the girl, his expression immediately turned a little bad, and then he told Xu Dongsheng that he had run into some setbacks in the past two days and his plan was probably over.
"That's strange, but I believe that Damao is so handsome and a projectionist who is one of the eight great men in Beijing. How could there be no girls who would like him? Take your time, don't rush."
When Xu Dongsheng heard Xu Damao say that he had failed, he thought that his parents might not agree with him. He wondered if his appearance had stirred up the storm of the times and caused Xu Damao's wife to change. But Xu Dongsheng didn't think much about it. Anyway, it didn't matter to him who Xu Damao married.
"Hehe, of course. I'm the treasure of our Propaganda Department. In our courtyard, aren't all girls of the same age the prettiest? My charm is not exaggerated. The girls in our factory or on the street will blush if I take a fancy to them and I just whistle at them.
But who am I? Those vulgar women are not my type. We are now the masters of our own destiny, so we must find a lady from a rich family, right? We must enjoy ourselves.
And to be honest, I had a bad experience with that girl these past two days, but I went to show a movie to a family last night, and there was also a girl in that family. When she saw me operating the projector, she almost looked at me. And, let me tell you about that figure, well, forget it, you won’t understand even if I tell you.”
Xu Damao was proud of Xu Dongsheng's flattery. He stroked his beard, which had just turned a little blue, and proudly said that he was the courtyard grass of the Siheyuan. He also expressed his high recognition and pride in his work, saying that he must marry those rich girls to warm his bed.
Then Xu Damao thought of the last night when he went to show a movie for someone and he had set his eyes on a girl. Looking at Xu Damao's wretched look, he knew immediately that she must be the best in Xu Damao's taste.
"Brother Damao is really ambitious. I don't even dare to think about being a rich lady."
Xu Dongsheng didn't care about these. After all, he was not a thief like Cao Cao. He didn't need to worry about Xu Damao's wife. Who did he care who he married?
"You should be bolder. I am the prettiest girl of my age in our courtyard, and you are also the prettiest girl of your age. Just tell me, among the girls in our courtyard, who are prettier than you? Whose conditions are better than yours? Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm leaving now. I'll go check out the situation first."
Xu Damao looked at Xu Dongsheng's indifferent expression and did not laugh at him. After all, two or three years ago, he had no idea of getting married. It was only after he inherited Lao Xu's job and Lao Xu wanted him to find a wife to take care of his life that he came up with this idea.
"Okay, Brother Damao, then go slower."
Xu Dongsheng sent Xu Damao away and went back into the house. It was not suitable to go out today. Xu Dongsheng did not want to go out even at home. Just as Xu Dongsheng went out, a figure returned to the middle courtyard from the hanging flower gate. If Xu Dongsheng saw it, it was naturally a person. This person was none other than Sha Zhu from the middle courtyard.
"Humph, you bastard, you want to marry a rich lady? Just dream on, right? When Section Chief Lu heard that his daughter was flirting with a projectionist, he got angry right away. You think projectionists are noble, huh?"
Sha Zhu was talking to himself as he walked. If Xu Damao heard it, he would definitely guess that the reason why Chief Lu's daughter was locked up and not allowed to interact with him was because Sha Zhu helped Xu Damao to tell this in advance, so that Chief Lu could lock up his daughter and not allow her to interact with Xu Damao.
"However, this guy has a new target, I have to find a way to ruin his marriage. I haven't even gotten married yet, how can Xu Damao get married? I am three years older than Xu Damao. If Xu Damao gets married first, won't I be suppressed by him? Will people say that I am not as good as Xu Damao?
And if Xu Damao has a son, then when I get married, won't my son be bullied to death by his son? No, how can Xu Damao give birth to a son? At most, he can give birth to a girl. But if my son is bullied by a girl, won't he be suppressed by Xu Damao? No, no, I must not let Xu Damao get married first."
Sha Zhu walked and walked, muttering to himself as he went. He immediately felt that something was wrong, so he rushed to the room, changed his clothes and ran out in a hurry.
"Stupid column!"
"What is this unfortunate child running for?"
Sha Zhu ran so fast that he didn't even hear the deaf old lady who came to the Central Courtyard to look for him calling him. Of course, the main reason was that the deaf old lady's voice was too soft, and Sha Zhu ran so fast that he didn't hear it.
