Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

In the evening, Cao Yue made meat and egg dumplings with two kinds of fillings: cabbage and radish.

"Bang bang bang!"

Cao Yue knocked on Lou Xiao'e's door, carrying a large bowl of dumplings.

"Xiao Cao, why are you here?"

Lou Xiao'e opened the door and saw Cao Yue standing outside, and quickly let him in.

Cao Yue raised his bowl and gestured, "I'm having dumplings tonight, so I brought a bowl for Brother Xu and Sister Xiao'e to try."

Lou Xiao'e was pleasantly surprised and said, "Xiao Cao, you are so thoughtful. I love dumplings the most."

"I don't know what kind of filling you like, so I made some cabbage and radish. The dumplings in the shape of ingots are filled with radish and meat."

After Cao Yue finished speaking, he looked around and asked in confusion: "Is Brother Xu not at home?"

Cao Yue had already heard Xu Damao's humming coming from the bedroom, and he was asking this question even though he knew the answer.

Lou Xiao'e said angrily, "He was beaten by Sha Zhu again, and now he is lying on the bed with his body stretched out."

"What? Shazhu is so bold. It seems he hasn't learned the lesson today. When I have time one day, I will skin him alive!" Cao Yue pretended to be angry.

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and said, "Forget it, Xiao Cao, as long as you have this intention."

"Xu Damao and Shazhu quarrel every few days. I have advised Xu Damao several times, but he won't listen. I am too lazy to care about him anymore."

Cao Yue understood the meaning of the words and was overjoyed. This was the rhythm of the corner of the wall collapsing.

He said hypocritically, "Sister Xiao'e, can I go see Brother Xu?"

"No need. It's inconvenient for him to take off his clothes now. It's not a big problem. He will be fine after applying the medicine overnight."

Cao Yue nodded, then handed the dumplings to Lou Xiao'e and said with a smile: "Sister Xiao'e, in this case, I will go home. You can eat the dumplings while they are hot."

Lou Xiao'e did not try to persuade him to stay. She placed the dumplings on the table, sent Cao Yue out, and whispered, "Xiao Cao, thank you for sending me the dumplings. I will make some dumplings in a few days and send you some to try."

"Sister Xiao'e, do you want to make dumplings too?"

Cao Yue's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Great, I like the dumplings made by my sister-in-law the most!"

Lou Xiao'e realized that there was something wrong with Cao Yue's pause, and glared at her coquettishly, saying, "You are a bad boy, making fun of your sister-in-law. You deserve a beating!"

Cao Yue chuckled.

Under the moonlight, there was no blame in Lou Xiao'e's eyes, but instead there was a hint of strangeness.

……

At night, Cao Yue had a beautiful dream. The heroine seemed to be Lou Xiao'e, then Su Rong, and then Qin Huairu...

The next day, Cao Yue got up early and changed into a new pair of shorts.

He still changed his appearance and went to the Pigeon Market to sell fish, and then bought scarce supplies and various tickets.

After returning to the courtyard and having breakfast, Cao Yue rode his bicycle to the steel rolling mill.

……

After a night's rest, Xu Damao felt that the pain in his lower body had eased a lot.

I got out of bed and walked a few steps. I felt nothing serious and planned to go to work.

Lou Xiao'e said angrily: "You are injured, so just take two days off to rest."

"Ezi, it turns out you still care about me." Xu Damao suddenly became proud.

"I don't care about you!"

Lou Xiao'e said disdainfully: "I'm afraid your injury will get worse. If you lie in bed and can't move, I'll have to serve you."

"Ezi, you don't need to explain. I already understand your feelings."

When Lou Xiao'e heard Xu Damao's self-conceited words, she rolled her eyes at him.

Worried that he would disgust her by saying something else, she changed the subject and said, "Wait, I'll make you some noodles."

"Didn't Cao Yue send me some dumplings last night? Go heat them up for me."

“I ate all the dumplings.”

Lou Xiao'e knew that Cao Yue's dumplings were nominally for the two of them, but were actually for her alone. Although there was still half left, she didn't plan to give it to Xu Damao.

He doesn't deserve it!

"Noodles are good too."

Xu Damao had no doubts and smiled apologetically: "Ezi, make me another fried egg. What you eat will replenish what you have!"

"Okay, I'll beat two rooster eggs for you and eat them to death!"

"Rooster eggs??"

Xu Damao's face was full of question marks, and he said to himself: "Can a rooster lay eggs?"

"Others can't, but you can!" Lou Xiao'e said with a double meaning.

Xu Damao finally reacted: "Lou Xiao'e, why are you cursing?"

"snort--!"

Lou Xiao'e snorted coldly and turned to go to the kitchen.

……

After dinner, Xu Damao had to walk to the steel mill because he couldn't ride a bicycle.

The reason he went to work was because a leader came to inspect the steel mill today.

The factory manager had informed him yesterday that there would be a movie showing today, and he didn't dare to ask for leave.

Just as he entered the middle courtyard, his archenemy Sha Zhu also walked out of the door, rubbing his waist.

The two enemies met by chance.

Sha Zhu was so amused when he saw Xu Damao walking with his feet turned outward like a duck.

Xu Damao also saw Sha Zhu walking awkwardly and a look of relief appeared on his face.

Xu Damao taunted, "Silly Zhu, Cao Yue beat you up pretty hard yesterday, didn't he? Your buttocks must be hurting a lot!"

Sha Zhu glared at Xu Damao and cursed back, "Shamao, did grandpa break your egg yolk yesterday?"

"What did you call me? Shazhu, how dare you give me a nickname?" Xu Damao was angry.

Sha Zhu sneered: "How fresh! You are allowed to give me a nickname, but I can't give you one, right?"

"Shamao, listen carefully, from now on this nickname Shamao will follow you for the rest of your life."

Xu Damao pointed at Sha Zhu and said angrily, "Sha Zhu, just wait for me."

Xu Damao knew that he could not beat Sha Zhu, so he left angrily after saying some harsh words.

Sha Zhu followed behind and continued to laugh: "Sha Mao, you are so pitiful. You are injured but still have to go to work. The leader came to inspect the factory today. Did he ask you to show the movie again?"

As Xu Damao walked, he turned back and said, "Silly Zhu, you are not much better!"

"The factory leader must have ordered you to cook again today. You look so miserable now, let's see how you cook!"

"You don't know yet, the factory manager and his friends have already agreed to let me stay and keep the guests company. When the time comes, my buddies will be drinking and eating at the table, and you will still have to wait on me outside. I'm going to piss you off to death!"

"Come on, stop being so pretty!" Sha Zhu mocked, "You're just a bartender, you really think you're such a big shot!"

"So what? At least I can sit at the same table with the leaders and ask for a glass of wine. You, on the other hand, are just a stupid and lousy cook."

"Boy, you didn't get beaten enough last night, did you? Do you want your grandpa to loosen up your thing?" Sha Zhu threatened.

"Would I be afraid of you? Come here if you can."

Although Xu Damao spoke toughly, he quickened his pace and distanced himself from Sha Zhu.

If I get kicked down there again, the only function I'll have left is to go to the toilet.

"Don't run if you dare. I'll beat you to death!" Sha Zhu shouted from behind.

"Whoever ran away, catch him if you have the guts and see how I deal with you." Xu Damao said without showing any weakness.

Sha Zhu wanted to chase after her, but not only did his butt hurt, his waist and abdomen also hurt a lot when he exerted force.

Xu Damao is just timid. If they really fight, Sha Zhu will definitely not be able to beat him now.

Xu Damao missed the best opportunity for revenge.

Sha Zhu was afraid that others would notice that he was injured, so he walked slowly to the cafeteria.

Because the factory is hosting a dinner party today, the canteen director came to the canteen to supervise.

However, the ingredients had already been prepared, but there was no sign of Sha Zhu.

The canteen director waited and waited, and finally saw Sha Zhu coming calmly.

"Silly Zhu, didn't I inform you yesterday and ask you to come to the cafeteria early to prepare? Look at what time it is now?"

The canteen director pointed at the watch on his wrist and scolded loudly.

Sha Zhu was even more furious. He glanced at the canteen director and said in a muffled voice, "Director, you don't care when I come. I will definitely not delay the leaders' meal after the time comes."

"What's with your attitude?" the canteen director was irritated.

"That's just my temper. If you have the guts, chase me away and cook for me."

"you……"

The canteen director was caught. If he had another replacement candidate, he would have demoted Sha Zhu to the workshop long ago.

It is precisely because of this that Sha Zhu dares to be so arrogant in front of him.
