Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

"Okay, let's move on to the next one."

"What's the next item?"

"Buy a Western-style building for Comrade Ding Qiunan."

The three of them, starting with Ding Qiunan, sang in unison, and these three sentences made Xu Damao, who was originally silent, even more silent.

The sun has already set, why not buy a Western-style house?

Where to buy?

Now the important thing is to go home, take a shower and go to bed.

Don’t think that buying a house in the old city is easy, it is actually very troublesome.

The street office will also require proof that you have no place to live or for some other reason. There must always be a legitimate reason.

Xu Damao could only add: "I can pay, but it's almost time to go home."

"I'm just teasing you. I'll give Qiunan a small western-style building when he comes to Sijiu City. You don't need to pay for it. Buying a western-style building now is just a joke. Okay, let's drive back to the Siheyuan."

Xu Damao even felt that he had heard it wrong.

Shouldn't we first find a place for Ding Qiunan to live? Then send Li Tianjiao back, and finally return to the courtyard. Time is already very tight.

He confirmed again: "Return to the courtyard?"

"Yes, that's right. Today, our family will sit together for dinner. Is there a problem?"

The one who spoke was Li Tianjiao, but Xu Damao was looking at Ding Qiunan.

However, Ding Qiunan sat very quietly in the car, obviously agreeing.

Xu Damao didn't understand why Li Tianjiao was so concerned. Since no one had any objections, he said, "Let's go back to the courtyard."

When the four people entered the courtyard gate with bags, only Ding Qiunan was looking at them curiously.

Most of the things in the bag were bought by Li Tianjiao. It didn’t matter whether they were needed or not, or whether there was space for them. The things bought by Ding Qiunan had already been left in the car.

"Director Xu, have you emptied the department store?"

"Director Xu, have you hired a new service officer?"

Secretary Ran Qiuye comes to the Siheyuan every day, saying that he works from nine to five. He has known all the neighbors in the Siheyuan for a long time.

Needless to say, Li Tianjiao is also a frequent visitor.

Why is there one more today?

"This is a friend of mine."

Xu Damao did not give any further explanation to the neighbors who were taking a walk, and just took them home.

When they reached the door, Ding Qiunan felt a little embarrassed. Li Tianjiao took her hand and led her into the house.

In the room, Qin Huairu was cooking in the kitchen, Qin Jingru was taking care of Huaihua, and Xiaodang was playing around Lou Xiaoe.

Seeing Li Tianjiao pulling Ding Qiunan into the house, everyone's eyes lit up.

This should be the one, right?

"Li Tianjiao, take Ding Qiunan to meet him. I'm going out to take a shower."

With a room full of women, Xu Damao didn't go out to take a shower, but wanted to hide away.

If it were like in ancient times where each person had his own yard, there wouldn't be so much to deal with. Now everyone is confined to one room. Just looking at this scene, Xu Damao felt a headache.

"Sister Xiao'e, this is a silk scarf I bought at a department store. When I saw it, I thought it would suit you very well, so I bought it for you."

Xu Damao took the step forward and then retracted it.

Just because the person who spoke was Ding Qiunan.

Watching Ding Qiunan take out a silk scarf from her bag and give it to Lou Xiaoe.

As things developed to this point, Xu Damao silently cursed himself as a scumbag in his heart.

Who would have thought that just yesterday I was still worried that Ding Qiunan would be upset, but as soon as the day passed, Ding Qiunan had already bought a gift for Lou Xiaoe.

Was this due to the guesthouse lady's work or Li Tianjiao's work? Or was it both?

"Ding Qiunan...I've heard Damao mention you a lot in the past few days. I can't believe you suddenly appeared in front of me. This scarf is so beautiful. Please sit down first."

The room was bustling with activity. With Li Tianjiao around, there was basically no dull moment.

Ran Qiuye slowly followed Xu Damao and left the room together.

For Xu Damao, nothing can stump him except love.

The feelings between people, especially between men and women, are truly indescribable.

Is this liking or love?

The two words "like" and "love" are more like an excuse, a reason, a reason to convince yourself to be firm.

Xu Damao stopped at the door and had no intention of moving forward. After Ran Qiuye noticed this, he walked around Xu Damao.

It was only at this moment that Xu Damao suddenly realized that Ran Qiuye was right next to him.

Logically speaking, with his sharp eyes and ears, he would be able to sense if someone was staring at him within ten meters. But now Ran Qiuye was only one step away from him, but he didn't notice it.

Is this because he's used to having her around?

This is because Ran Qiuye has been following Xu Damao and subconsciously regards her as one of their own who is not in any danger.

"What are you doing here?"

"Of course I have to go home. Why don't you go home after get off work and stay here to eat for free?"

Ran Qiuye said it as a matter of course, and Xu Damao reached out and grabbed her arm.

If it were any other time, Xu Damao would not have stopped them, but today Li Tianjiao said that the family would have dinner together, so those who didn’t come wouldn’t be mentioned, but since they were here, they had to stay and have a meal together.

"Why not just forget it? My family is still waiting for me to come home."

"It's okay. The two elders understand how hard you work. Sit here for a while and go back after dinner. I'll take you back."

Ran Qiuye was indeed a good woman and she did not refuse again. There were two small stools and the two of them were just like they were basking in the sun at the door during the day, except that it was evening and dusk before the moon appeared.

"My bicycle is still parked in the middle yard. I'll ride it back later."

As expected of a teacher, he is very organized in what he says and does.

"Then load the bike on the car. I'll take you back as well. I'll do it right away, or I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

Ran Qiuye didn't say anything, seeming to agree and think.

Before she could give an answer, He Yushui had already arrived at the backyard and saw Xu Damao and Ran Qiuye sitting at the door, looking like they had been kicked out by their families.

"Brother Xu, Teacher Ran, what are you two doing sitting at the door?"

"It's a bit stuffy in the room, let's come out and cool down for a while."

He Yushui walked around behind Xu Damao and just as she opened the door, she felt the lively atmosphere inside, so she closed the door again.

She originally came here to help with cooking, but now it seems that she is no longer needed, so she sat on the other side of Xu Damao.

"Is that Ding Qiunan inside?"

"Well, it's her."

He Yushui was silent for five seconds before continuing, "Brother Xu, Sister Xiao'e doesn't care about you outside, but if you bring her home all the time, it will easily spread rumors."

Xu Damao nodded with deep approval.

"What you said makes sense. I've been thinking about this recently, but this time it was Li Tianjiao who insisted on bringing the person back. You can just talk to me about what you said just now, or you can talk to Xiao'e in private. Don't say these things in front of so many people later."
