Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

When Lin Shaowen arrived at the yard, he saw Xu Damao leading a woman around the yard. The woman was in her early twenties, and her appearance was not very good-looking, but she was dressed very fashionably.

She was wearing a bright red woolen coat, a pair of boots on her feet, a black long skirt underneath, and slightly curly hair. She looked like a country bumpkin.

"I know her." Lou Xiao'e pulled Lin Shaowen and whispered.

"You know her?" Lin Shaowen was surprised.

"She is the daughter of my father's friend, named Zhang Wan, and her family is also in business." Lou Xiao'e's eyes were a little complicated.

"How is your relationship with her?" Lin Shaowen asked.

"I've met her twice." Lou Xiao'e spread her hands.

As the two were chatting, Zhang Wan suddenly came over.

"Oh, who am I thinking? Isn't this Miss Lou?" Zhang Wan sneered, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm afraid I've made a mistake with this outfit."

Since she married Lin Shaowen, Lou Xiao'e has never worn these dresses again.

She wore a gray work suit today, which did not look very bright and beautiful, but she was talented.

"Lin Shaowen, let me introduce you..."

As soon as Xu Damao opened his mouth, he was glared at by Zhang Wan.

"I can speak myself." Zhang Wan stretched out her hand to Lin Shaowen, "Lin Shaowen, right? I'm Zhang Wan."

Lin Shaowen shrugged, with no intention of shaking hands with her.

Zhang Wan's face suddenly darkened.

"Old Lin."

Xu Damao put his hands together and made a gesture of asking.

Lou Xiao'e also pulled the corner of Lin Shaowen's clothes.

"Lin Shaowen."

Lin Shaowen stretched out his hand and shook Zhang Wan's hand, then pulled it back.

"Lou Xiao'e, why are you silent? Don't you recognize me?" Zhang Wan looked at Lou Xiao'e and smiled, "Last time I heard that you got married, I happened to have something to do that day, so I didn't attend your wedding... How are you now?"

"Not bad." Lou Xiao'e took Lin Shaowen's arm and smiled, "This is my husband."

Jealousy flashed in Zhang Wan's eyes.

Compared to the plain-looking Xu Damao, Lin Shaowen almost completely defeated him in terms of appearance, height and temperament.

"Why don't you invite me to your house?" Zhang Wan took Lou Xiao'e's hand.

"It's not convenient." Lin Shaowen said, "My house is very messy... It's not convenient to entertain guests."

"They are just a few friends, what's the matter." Zhang Wan said indifferently.

"Since we are all friends, Lao Lin, I will treat you today..." Xu Damao blinked at Lin Shaowen, with a pleading look in his eyes.

"Master He?" Lin Shaowen shouted.

"I'm here." Sha Zhu jumped out immediately.

He is a complete face control. Zhang Wan is fashionable, but her appearance is ordinary, so he is not very interested.

"Old Xu said he would treat us to a meal, why don't you show us your skills?" Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"Xu Damao."

Sha Zhu immediately showed his attitude.

He was waiting for the main owner to treat him.

"Silly... Master He, please help me." Xu Damao gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay, okay." Sha Zhu was immediately happy.

Others also looked like they were watching a show.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao have been neighbors since childhood, and they have been fighting almost since they were young.

Xu Damao is also tough. Although he was beaten, he never bowed his head.

This time, Sha Zhu got the upper hand.

Zhang Wan insisted on visiting Lou Xiao'e's yard. Unable to resist Xu Damao's pleading, the group walked towards the backyard.

Originally, she was going to laugh at Lou Xiao'e, but after entering the yard, she couldn't say anything.

Flowers are blooming. Although the house is not particularly large, it is exquisite everywhere.

"No wonder Uncle Lou said you don't want to go back. You are living a good life." Zhang Wan said with complicated eyes.

"It's okay."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and went back to the house to get some candy.

Although she had better snacks, she didn't want to give them to Zhang Wan.

"Xu Damao, it's almost time for dinner. Where should we eat?" Sha Zhu said in a muffled voice.

"Old Xu is treating us, of course we should go to his house." Lin Shaowen said before Zhang Wan spoke, "I just trimmed the flowers here, and there is pollen everywhere. It's so dirty."

"That's nice."

After Xu Damao secretly gave Lin Shaowen a thumbs up, he said seriously, "Old Lin is right. Let's eat at my house. My house is spacious."

Zhang Wan moved her lips a few times, but she didn't say anything.

She liked this small yard very much, but since the owner said so, what else could she do?

Backyard.

There was no such thing as a private kitchen in those days. Except for Lin Shaowen, everyone basically cooked with a small stove at the door.

It must be said that Xu Damao's life was no worse than Lin Shaowen's.

There was no shortage of chicken, duck, fish and meat at home.

"Old Lin, give meLet's take a look. "

Xu Damao took two bottles of wine wrapped in newspapers and placed them on the table.

Lin Shaowen twisted the lid and smelled it, and immediately gave a thumbs up, "Good stuff, Fenjiu, at least ten years old."

"Dog nose, dog nose."

Xu Damao pointed at Lin Shaowen and said happily, "After all, it's still Section Chief Lin, who got it right at the first sniff."

"No big deal." Lin Shaowen smiled.

He has a drunkard father at home, and he has studied all kinds of wine.

Zhang Wan looked at Xu Damao's house and nodded from time to time. The two big rooms, although not as big as Lin Shaowen's, are also clean and tidy.

While they were talking, Lou Xiao'e pretended to squat down to pick up something, and saw the dishes under the bed, and couldn't help sighing.

This Xu Damao, still can't change his eating habits.

"Old Xu, what's the situation between you and Miss Zhang?" Lin Shaowen asked curiously.

"My family introduced you. "Xu Damao said proudly, "Don't look at your father-in-law who is known as 'Lou Bancheng', my future father-in-law is not bad either, he is known as 'Four-Nine Zhang', not bad, right?"

"Xu Damao, the Lou family is the Lou family, my family is my family, don't put them together." Lou Xiao'e said dissatisfiedly.

She has been married to Lin Shaowen for several months, and she has begun to understand Lin Shaowen's concerns, so she tried her best to make them separate from the Lou family.

Zhang Wan's face flashed a trace of pride, and she said in a calm tone, "My father's meaning is to respond to the times and form a family with workers and peasants, otherwise I would not come to such a place."

Xu Damao's face flashed with embarrassment.

Zhang Wan was also introduced by his mother. Although his mother was just a servant, she was exposed to a high level of people.

"When will you get married?" Lin Shaowen changed the subject.

"My father-in-law means the sooner the better. "Xu Damao's face lit up when he talked about this, "Old Lin, you have to come and have a drink at the wedding."

"Of course."

Lin Shaowen nodded with a smile, but there was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

It seems that the wind has started to pick up, and these people have noticed something is wrong.

Half an hour later.

"All done."

Sha Zhu served the last dish of Kung Pao Chicken, wiped his hands, and said with some reserve, "The place is small, and the ingredients are not very complete, so just eat it."

"Come on, let's toast to Master He first." Lin Shaowen raised his glass, "This is Lao Xu's place, I'm just offering a gift..."

"Or maybe it's college students who can talk."

Sha Zhu happily clinked glasses with Lin Shaowen and drank it all in one gulp.

"College student?" Zhang Wan looked at Lin Shaowen in surprise.

She originally thought that Lin Shaowen was just an ordinary worker like Xu Damao, but she didn't expect him to be a college student.
