Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"Oh, it's just a bag of melon seeds, not a bunch of gold bars. I'm just using it to entertain myself and kill time."

"Even if we get caught, just say you paid me to carry it on the way. Okay, I'm going to the publicity department first."

Before Xu Damao finished his words, he placed a bag of melon seeds on the table in the room, then got on his bicycle and rode away, leaving the comrades from the security department standing there in shock.

"Good morning, Damao. Ouch, no more smoking. I just put out a cigarette. Come in. The section chief is here."

"Ok."

……

After receiving today's screening assignment, Xu Damao carefully looked at the map in his hand.

I was surprised to find that the village I needed to go to this time was quite far away, but it seemed to pass by the small village where Cuilan and Cuinong lived.

"Hehe!" Thinking of this, Xu Damao's originally somewhat depressed spirit instantly became excited.

With a sly smile, he quickly loaded the projection equipment into the bike. Then, he got on the bike, pedaled hard, and sped away like an arrow.

The more Xu Damao thought about it, the more excited he became, and he sped up his pace. The wheels turned rapidly, raising a cloud of dust.

"Hey! Damao, slow down! Don't drop the equipment!"

"understood!"

……

"Da Mao, why are you in such a hurry today? Why don't you go inside and rest for a while before leaving?"

The comrades from the Security Department were quite surprised to see Xu Damao coming out in a hurry. They greeted him casually and opened the door.

"No need for that. Isn't that against the rules? Ordinary workers in your security department are not allowed to enter and leave as they please."

The location for today's screening is quite remote, and the road conditions are said to be not very good. I have to get there early, otherwise I won't even have time to rest."

Xu Damao sat in the car, slowed down slightly, and chatted with the brothers from the security department.

"Well, be careful along the way."

"Okay, big brother!"

Although the weather was a little chilly in the morning, Xu Damao rode his bicycle like a bird flying in the wind. The continuous movement seemed to ignite the fire in his heart and dispelled the chill without a trace.

Soon, just over an hour later, Xu Damao had arrived outside the village where Cuilan and Cuinong were.

Since he was just passing by, Xu Damao did not stop, but went straight to where Cuilan and Cuinong lived.

Seeing the "luxury car" passing by, the villagers on the roadside put down their work and pointed at Xu Damao.

When he was riding in the village, people recognized him and greeted Xu Damao one after another.

After all, in today's era, the overall flow of people in society has become much smaller than before.

The vast majority of people would choose to stay at home all day long and lead a plain and uneventful life.

On ordinary days, it was a rare sight to see a peddler walking the streets in the village, carrying a load on his shoulder or driving a donkey cart selling groceries.

Needless to say, at this time a projectionist riding a luxury car entered his village and appeared in front of everyone.

Xu Damao didn't stop to rest along the way and went straight to Cuilan's house.

When he arrived at the gate and looked inside through the crack, he found that there was no one in the yard. Xu Damao had no choice but to reach out and knock on the door a few times.

"Clap!"

The wooden door made a dull sound.

A petite and pretty girl walked out lightly. She was the lovely and charming little loli - Cuinong.

"Who is it?" Cuinong walked towards the door with brisk and cautious steps, staring at the closed door with her big eyes full of vigilance.

"It's me, Xu Damao!"

"Ah, it's Brother Damao, come in quickly."

Through the crack in the door, one could clearly see Cuinong's puzzled and somewhat wary little face suddenly smiling, and her two big eyes curved into two crescent shapes.

"Squeak! The door opened and Xu Damao walked in pushing a cart."

"Brother, come to my house for lunch today. I'll make you something delicious."

Cuinong thought that Xu Damao had just come over like last time and would go to show a movie soon.

"Um, Cuinong, due to my work, I will be traveling far away from home in the future. This time I am just passing by here and want to rest for a while at your house. I have to leave again soon."

"Because the journey is long, after the movie is over, we have to stay in the village for one night and can go back the next day."

"Oh, I see..."

A lost expression immediately appeared on Cuinong's face, and she looked unhappy!

"Brother, please come into the house and rest for a while. I'll get you some water."

"No, I, your big brother, have some water with me. Come, try this."

Xu Damao took out a bottle of soda from the back basket, opened it and handed it to Cuinong.

"It's soda. I've heard of it."

Cuinong took it with great joy on her face, and began to drink it in small sips, with a look of satisfaction on her face.

"No, leave some for my sister."

"Drink it. I still have some in my car. Where's your sister? Did she go to the fields?"

"No, I went to the village chief's house to discuss something."

"what happened?"

"It's just... it's just that my sister is planning to move out of here and go to the city."

"What's wrong? Isn't it good here?"

"Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. My sister said there are more opportunities in the city, and I have some money, so I plan to go to the city to have a look."

In fact, the biggest reason Cuinong did not tell Xu Damao was that when the two of them discussed it, Cuilan felt that there was no hope for the two sisters in the village, and the biggest reason was to go to the city to find a good husband for Cuinong.

"It's fine to go to the city, but have you found a place to live?"

"Not yet, but my sister went there by car a few days ago. It seems there is a temporary residence there. We can move in with very little money. Then we can find some work to do. It's much better than working in the fields."

"When will your sister be back?"

"They will probably be back by noon. We are almost done packing our things. We can just hire a mule cart to take them away."

"Well, do you have enough money?"

"It's okay, thanks to the money you gave me, Brother Damao."

"That money is not a gift. It's the money you deserve for our business. Forget it. Let's talk about it later when your sister comes back. I'll take a break first. I've been riding my bike all the way here. My legs are a little tired and I haven't rested yet."

"Well, Brother Damao, you take a rest first."

"Okay, I just happened to bring some cakes and a roast chicken, you can have some later."

"Let's wait for my sister to come back."

Xu Damao walked into the room very naturally, took off his coat, and lay down directly on the bed.
