Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

Xu Damao put on his clothes quickly. Because he was resistant to high temperatures and cold weather, he was now used to sleeping naked since no one would see him anyway.

The protective suits were recovered and placed in space long before they were transported from Madagascar to the moon. Madagascar only had one coat left, which Li Mingmei had given him.

In front of everyone, Xu Damao performed a miracle in which his inner clothes disappeared and then he turned into moonlight - although no one knew why he had to collect the underwear before the transmission and why the clothes remained in place after the transmission.

Don’t ask about the habits of gods.

When he opened the door, he saw that it was his third uncle Yan Bugui.

"Uncle? What's up? It's early in the morning on this weekend. If you don't go to bed, I won't get enough sleep!"

Xu Damao was a little grumpy when he woke up because he had not been getting enough sleep recently. Although he had taken the second stage potion and his cells had strong repair ability, he was mentally exhausted.

You can't rely on energy potions every day, right? That way, the points won't be wasted.

"Da Mao, it's already past 9 o'clock. Why are you still sleeping? Have you forgotten what day it is today?" Yan Bugui looked at Xu Damao with a strange expression.

It was at this time that Xu Damao realized that many neighbors were standing at the moon gate and looking at him. What was going on? Why were they looking at me when they were not at work?

"What day? Isn't it just a rest day? We have to go back to work tomorrow, Monday, right?" Xu Damao said while rubbing his eyes and yawning. He was still dizzy and not fully awake.

"Da Mao, you are so confused. Today is your wedding day!" Yan Bugui said angrily. What the hell is this? How could he forget about this?

Xu Damao then remembered that the original plan was to hold the banquet today!

November 11th in the lunar calendar.

Suitable for: getting married, offering sacrifices, praying for blessings, seeking offspring, consecration, traveling, resignation, moving into new home, and migration.

Taboo: felling trees, making beams, breaking ground, setting up beds, planting, and building bridges.

Xu Damao slapped his head, he had indeed forgotten about this matter. Day and Moon and Madagascar were running around every day, and he had a lot of things to worry about.

Plus, these guys in the yard are restless. Every day they are either ganking, on the way to gank, or at the police station...

But will Lou Bancheng really marry Lou Xiao'e?

There has been no news in the past few days, and Xu Damao has lost confidence for a while.

Maybe they regretted it?

"Uncle, I was so distracted by what happened in the yard recently that I really forgot about it - hahaha!" Xu Damao smiled awkwardly.

But before anyone could scold him, he immediately added, "Didn't I say yesterday that I have already gone to the Lou family to cancel the engagement, no, to divorce."

"But the Lou family didn't give me a reply. I really don't know what the Lou family thinks about this matter."

Nothing can be said for sure. Xu Damao only said that I had taken the initiative to ask for a divorce, but what they do has nothing to do with me.

"Oh! Kid, how could you let such a thing happen..." Yan Bugui didn't know what to say. Such a big feast, just gone in vain?

Moreover, if the Xu family holds a banquet, I can help collect gifts and register, and I can make some money. Not only can the gifts I have to give be deducted, but the whole family will have a good meal, and they can take back the leftovers, and I can also earn some commission -

But now, it’s all gone!

Yan Bugui was so distressed that he wished he could beat up Xu Damao on behalf of Xu's father, and then take him to the Lou family to kneel down and apologize!

It's such a big matter, why don't you, a greenhorn like you, discuss it with the three masters?

Other neighbors also came for this matter. The banquet for Lou's son-in-law is also Lou Bancheng's face. It can't be bad, right?

What's more, some of them haven't eaten meat for a week just to get the fat from this meal.

The Yan family is even worse, they haven’t eaten for the whole day!

If they lost this, they would be heartbroken!

Then the neighbors started chattering about all sorts of things, with only one main idea: Xu Damao is young and hot-tempered, so if you just go to the Lou family and bow your head, the problem will be solved.

The most important thing is that the banquet is held as usual. They have been looking forward to this meal for a long time.

As for Xu Damao's thoughts, whether he can have children, whether he will be happy after marriage -

It’s none of their business!

These were just a bunch of people who were out to watch the fun and no matter how big the event. Xu Damao could see that no one was really doing this for his own good. He Yushui was the only one present who was looking at him with a worried look.

"Forget it. Once something is said, it can be taken away. After all, I am a grown man and I cannot hurt anyone."

"Uncle, I don't want to chat with you anymore. I have to go eat some breakfast. I'm hungry."

After saying that, Xu Damao locked the door and went out to find food.

"Hey, Damao——"

"Since this wedding cannot be held, you can at least prepare a few tables to compensate everyone..."

Yan Bugui was still following behind and shouting relentlessly, saying that we had lost everything and it was all for nothing, shouldn't you, Xu Damao, compensate us all?

Xu Damao really wanted to curse and say "get lost", but the matter of the wedding banquet was indeed difficult to say, because everyone had been informed early in the morning, but because of Sha Zhu's kick, Yi Zhonghai's leak, and the deaf old lady's tip-off and interception, the matter could no longer be done.

But those three people are now in the police station, so who can I go to for justice?

Xu Damao pretended not to hear and didn't explain. He just pushed his bicycle away.

This courtyard—there is never a quiet day!

Or should I find a chance to move out later? Anyway, the current house is also owned by the steel mill, so it shouldn’t be difficult to find a colleague to exchange it with, right?

Xu Damao thought so.

----------------

At breakfast, Xu Damao bought a lot as usual, some of which he put in the space and some of which he ate directly. He now has a huge appetite, and the same amount of strength means the same amount of consumption. He is now very troubled.

In stage 1, my resistance just became stronger and the consumption was not that great, so my food intake was the same as before.

In stage 2, the strength increases and the cell repair ability becomes stronger, which also means a dramatic increase in appetite.

He used to be confident that he could get through these three years, but now... he feels a little unsure.

Let’s not talk about planting on the moon for now. He has never expected to produce any output from farming on the moon. He would be satisfied if the plants could have a useful genetic mutation according to the requirements of Stage 2.

It seems that the focus of stockpiling food should still be on Madagascar, and the problem of staple food still needs to be solved. But it looks very poor over there, right?

After eating, Xu Damao went directly to the Capital Library. He wanted to look up information about Madagascar.

----------------

Looking at the huge map on the wall of the library, Xu Damao found the location of Madagascar. It was not convenient to take out the box in the space here, but the stage 2 eyeball had been modified to record everything Xu Damao saw in 4K images.

So Xu Damao easily called up the original image. His eyes were facing the map in front of him, but there was a secondary screen in his retina - the deeds in the box appeared in front of him like picture viewing windows.

These deeds are connected together. When compared with the large map, it is in the upper right corner of Madagascar that all the deeds are connected together, including some small islands.

All together, it’s about 300 square kilometers - isn’t that about the same size as the Maldives?

Xu Damao looked carefully. The deeds were written in French and Malaga. Xu Damao couldn't read them, nor did he understand what they meant. However, there were a lot of seals, fingerprints, and signatures. But what about the time on these signatures?

1890? Or 1932?

Xu Damao checked some books, newspapers and materials, and found that the signature in 1890 should be from the period of the Kingdom of Madagascar.

The signature in 1932 is obviously in French, which should be from the French colonial period.

Li Mingmei said she was the fifth generation of Chinese... about 100 years ago, that is, during the Guangxu period?

The timing is just right.

Xu Damao had a guess in his mind, could it be that these deeds were certified by both the Kingdom of Madagascar and the French colonial officials?

Then why did she say it couldn't be saved? Did the rebels come that night just for this thing?

I don’t understand. Xu Damao plans to figure this out next time he goes there.

All the rebels' weapons and equipment have been confiscated by them. They should be able to defend themselves, right?

Xu Damao looked through some newspapers and materials again, but couldn't find any useful information, so he prepared to return to the courtyard.

When I just left the library, I saw a familiar figure——

Ran Qiuye?

Ran Qiuye happened to see him and shouted in surprise: "Comrade!"

Xu Damao quickly turned around and rode away on his bike. Today was a special day and he couldn't mess with women again. He didn't know what the situation was in Lou Bancheng!

With just a few steps, Xu Damao disappeared at the end of the road on his bike. Just kidding, with his current physical strength, he can even ride a bike up the mountain!

At the entrance of the library, Ran Qiuye stamped her feet in anger - [What do you mean? I just happened to meet you, so I wanted to give you that book! ]

[Why did you turn and run away when you saw me? Am I that scary?! ]

Ran Qiuye was so angry that she decided to find him and ask him why he was so angry as if he had seen a ghost when he saw her. It was so insulting!

But I don’t know his name, where he works or where he lives. What should I do?

Suddenly, Ran Qiuye had an idea and ran to the administrator at the library exit and asked, "Hello, can I ask the name and address of the person who just left?"

"When he was buying books at the bookstore before, one of them was left here with me. I want to give it to him."

"It's the Song of Youth that was just published this year." In order to prove that what she said was true, she took out the book and showed it to the administrator.

If a man asks a woman for her name and address, the administrator will certainly not give it to her. That would be rude!

And when a girl asks a gay man for his name and address, it means she is brave enough to pursue love!

The administrator smiled like an auntie...

----------------

Xu Damao hummed a tune as he returned to the courtyard. He didn't dare to ride at full speed, as he would be regarded as a monster. On the way, he also went to the market to buy some potatoes and sweet potato vines. He wanted to see if this drought-resistant staple food could produce any genetic mutations when grown on the moon.

However, as soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, he was shocked. There was a private car and a small truck, and workers were grunting and moving furniture inside!

Xu Damao remembered that small private car clearly. It belonged to the Lou family.

Lou Bancheng, is he really here to marry off his daughter?!
