Xu Hongdou slept very poorly that night. He woke up at seven o'clock in the morning, rolled on the bed for a while, but still couldn't fall asleep, so he simply got up to wash up and prepare to go to the ancient city to repair his mobile phone.
As soon as they went out, they saw Damai standing on the balcony with a confused look on his face. He looked down, which made Xu Hongdou stick out his neck curiously, but he didn't find anything special, so he asked curiously.
"Hey, Damai, what are you looking at?"
Damai turned his head blankly, with two dark circles under his eyes: "Ah?"
Xu Hongdou thought she was asleep, but Damai told her: "I haven't slept yet."
This time it was Xu Hongdou's turn to be confused: "Then why are you standing here stupidly if you don't want to sleep?"
"Today it's my turn to buy groceries, yes, I have to go to the market." Damai seemed to be awakened by Xu Hongdou's words, and finally remembered what he wanted to do.
Xu Hongdou was amused by Damai's cute look: "You don't have to be so serious, right?"
But Damai said with a serious face: "You must do what you promise others."
"Uh... let's go together. Anyway, I have to go to the ancient city to repair my mobile phone." Xu Hongdou was a little worried, fearing that something would happen to Damai's distracted state on the road.
"Oh, okay, I'm going to brush my teeth first."
Xu Hongdou originally thought it would take a long time, but Damai came out in less than ten minutes. Xu Hongdou seriously doubted that Damai said he was going to brush his teeth, but he really just brushed his teeth. He didn't even comb his hair, which looked messy.
Perhaps because he really couldn't stand it, Xu Hongdou said to Damai, "Wait for me."
After saying that, she went back to the house, took a comb, and started to comb Damai's hair. Normally, Damai would have resisted, but at this moment, she had just stayed up all night and her brain was in a down state, so she just let Xu Hongdou do it.
at the mercy of.
"Okay." Xu Hongdou briefly combed Damai, then tied her into a ponytail, and then put the comb in her pocket with satisfaction.
"Thank you." Damai finally regained his composure and reached out to touch his ponytail, which felt quite refreshing.
"Let's go." Xu Hongdou took the initiative to hold Damai's hand, fearing that she would fall down when she went downstairs.
"Oh, thank you."
Xu Hongdou only thought that this little girl was so cute. She was completely different from the people she had met in the capital, and she was inexplicably close to her.
The two of them left the windy courtyard and headed to the market. Xu Hongdou asked curiously along the way: "Hey, Damai, why do you always stay up all night to finish the manuscript? Isn't it tiring to have such a reverse day and night?"
Damai scratched his head: "I'm used to it, and it's quiet at night, so it's easier to get inspired."
"Is that so?" Xu Hongdou asked again: "Hey, Damai, where can I see your works?"
Damai was excited when he heard this. He quickly took out the arm held by Xu Hongdou and said with a vigilant face: "I am just an unknown little author, and my writing is not good. I don't want to lose my horse."
"Lose the horse?" Xu Hongdou didn't expect Damai to react so excitedly, with a confused look on his face.
"Just take off your vest."
Xu Hongdou was stunned and a little confused: "But, for an author, isn't it better that the more people read his work?"
"Uh..." Damai tilted his head and thought for a while, then gestured: "That's different. All readers on the Internet can see are words. Whether they like it or dislike it, they are targeting
What you write is just the text itself, which is more pure, but it is different with the people you know. If you don’t write well, they may praise you in person, but behind your back they will say: What the hell are you writing? Even if you write well and people praise you, you
I don’t know if it’s sincere.”
Seeing Damai dancing, Xu Hongdou was a little amused and stopped her: "Okay, okay, I'll just leave it alone. It's on the street."
Damai looked around and found that many people were looking at him as if he were a fool, so he quickly lowered his head.
Seeing this, Xu Hongdou took Damai's arm and said with a smile: "Don't worry, they will forget all this in a while. Everyone has their own things to do, and no one will care about this."
"Well, thank you." Damai said gratefully.
Xu Hongdou burst out laughing. Under Damai's puzzled gaze, he started counting with his fingers: "Look, since we met in the morning, you have already said thank you three times to me. There is no need to be so polite."
.”
"But, my dad said that when you receive help from others, you should thank them."
"Your dad must be a teacher, right?"
"Hey, Sister Hongdou, how did you know?"
"You can tell right away by looking at me. You are well-behaved and a little ignorant of the world. Your tutor must have been very strict when you were a child."
"Well, Sister Hongdou, you are so awesome. My dad has been very strict since I was a child and would punish me at every turn..."
Xu Hongdou seems to have a kind of magical power. After being in contact with her for a period of time, you can't help but want to get close to her and trust her.
After helping Damai buy vegetables at the market, Xu Hongdou glanced at the time and saw that it was already eight o'clock, so she said goodbye to Damai.
"I went to the ancient city to repair my mobile phone. You should go back first and get some rest early."
"Oh, sister Hongdou, please come back early. I'll ask Brother Hao to prepare an extra meal. Anyway, these dishes are enough for us to eat for two days."
Unable to resist Damai's enthusiasm, Xu Hongdou had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I understand. Go back and rest quickly."
"Bye bye Sister Hongdou."
Xu Hongdou took a taxi outside Yunmiao Village and arrived at the ancient city. After waiting for a long time for the mobile phone store to open, Xu Hongdou secretly breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was just the screen that was broken and the things stored inside were fine.
"However, we don't have the screen for this phone in stock here. It needs to be sent from the manufacturer. It can be picked up in about three days."
"Thank you." Xu Hongdou took a business card from the mobile phone store before leaving.
Afterwards, Xu Hongdou did not go back to Yunmiao Village directly, but walked around the ancient city. Chen Nanxing had always wanted to visit the ancient city, and she had to help Chen Nanxing fulfill this wish.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the other side, Qin Hao slept until after nine o'clock before getting up. He washed briefly, stretched, went downstairs to the small kitchen, and cooked a bowl for himself
The egg noodles were delicious.
After eating, I washed the dishes, sat down on the lounge chair, and basked in the sun. It wasn't too leisurely.
After a while, I found that Mr. Ma had come back from outside, saying that he had gone to have breakfast. The new recliner that had been waxed yesterday was now dry. Mr. Ma also followed suit and lay down, feeling comfortable.
"I wouldn't trade it for a god to live this comfortable life."
"That's right."
Just as the two of them squinted and enjoyed the tranquility, a woman wearing local costumes entered the yard.
"Good morning, Aunt Agui." Mr. Ma greeted with a smile.
As a result, Aunt Agui said in disgust: "It's okay for others to call me Aunt Agui. You can just call me Sister Agui. I'm not much older than you anyway."
Qin Hao almost couldn't hold back his laughter. This Aunt Agui really didn't give her any face.
Mr. Ma defended with an embarrassed look on his face: "Actually, I'm only 40 years old, so it makes sense to call me aunt when I'm only a dozen years old."
Aunt Agui ignored him and said to Qin Hao: "That Xiao Qin, you were not here when I came to clean two days ago. I have some things to explain to you. As for me, I am not a cleaner.
As for the small courtyard, one-third of the foundation belongs to our house. I am only responsible for the sanitation of the public areas. You can clean your rooms by yourself. Also, don't throw away your garbage casually. There are trash cans over there...
....."
Qin Hao was secretly amused. This Aunt Agui was really a model of showing off her children in a fancy way. At first she was talking about the hygiene of the courtyard, but somehow it ended up being about her children.
"Oh, our Dayang Xiaoxi is in Qingdao now. The seafood is very cheap. You can eat whatever you want. It's not as expensive as ours..."
Master Ma was obviously used to it and gave Qin Hao a look that said: Just get used to it.
At this moment, Xie Zhiyao walked in, and Qin Hao quickly stood up and greeted warmly: "Hey Mr. Xie, why are you free to come here today? Come on, please sit down and drink tea."
Xie Zhiyao looked confused, always feeling that there was a conspiracy, Qin Hao gave him a look, and following Qin Hao's gaze, Xie Zhiyao suddenly realized.
"You don't have to drink tea. Lao Qin, I have something to do with you, so come with me."
"Hey, if I need anything, why don't you just call me and go there in person..."
Having said that, Qin Hao had already pulled Xie Zhiyao out of the small courtyard, leaving Mr. Ma standing there listening to Aunt Agui's nagging, with a face full of pain.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Xie Zhiyao laughed and scolded: "You are too realistic, aren't you? You didn't have this attitude in the courtyard just now."
"As a human being, it's better to be realistic. Idealists like you are destined to suffer. I will not suffer this fate with you." Qin Hao said seriously.
Xie Zhiyao was speechless for a while, but he still pulled Qin Hao and said: "No, you have to help me this time."
"What's so serious?" Qin Hao asked curiously.
Xie Zhiyao smiled bitterly: "What else could it be? Xie Xiaochun arranged a blind date for me today, and we made an appointment to meet in a small restaurant for a while. I feel embarrassed just thinking about it now..."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Hao reached out to stop him: "No, it's better for you to be embarrassed alone than for two people to be embarrassed together. Don't try to hold me back."
"No, you treat your friends like this?"
"Friends are meant to be betrayed, not to mention that I haven't betrayed you yet. This can only be regarded as schadenfreude at best."
Xie Zhiyao was speechless, and after a long while he begged: "Old Qin, Brother Qin, please help me. Anyway, you have nothing to do now and you can't go back to the courtyard, so just think that I owe you a favor.
"
"That's what you said."
"I said."
"Okay, let me help you this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Zhiyao's cell phone rang: "Look, the rush is starting now. Let's go quickly, otherwise Xiaochun will have to rush me again soon."
"No, you are her boss and her eldest brother. It's strange that you are afraid of her." Qin Hao complained.
Xie Zhiyao defended: "It's not because I'm afraid, it's because I'm letting down my hard work."
Not long after, the two arrived at the small restaurant. Just as Nana was about to say hello, she saw that Xie Xiaochun had already stood up and waved to them.
Xie Zhiyao quickly pulled the reluctant Qin Hao to sit over. Xie Xiaochun immediately gave Qin Hao a look: "Why are you here?"
Qin Hao's face was full of innocence, and he glanced at Xie Zhiyao next to him. Xie Zhiyao rolled his eyes in anger when he saw that Qin Hao had betrayed him so quickly.
As a result, before the three of them could speak, the blind date teacher shyly said to Qin Hao: "Hello, you are Xie Zhiyao, right?"
Qin Hao was dumbfounded, and Xie Xiaochun and Xie Zhiyao were also dumbfounded.
Xie Zhiyao suddenly had an idea: "Yes, he is Lao Xie, sister, I am not bragging to you, Lao Xie is simply too good, not only handsome and stylish, but also talented..."
Qin Hao was so angry that this kid pushed himself out as a scapegoat. He also praised himself a lot. It seemed that he really underestimated him. He was worthy of being a venture capital investor. He had the ability to adapt to the wind.
It's simply breathtaking.
Xie Xiaochun's face was full of embarrassment and he glared at Xie Zhiyao fiercely, but he could only nod along with his words.
Well, this time the girl completely misunderstood and looked at Qin Hao with stars in her eyes.
Qin Hao could only chat with the girl from time to time, but his perfunctory attitude did not make the girl give up. On the contrary, she further wanted to add Qin Hao's WeChat account.
At this moment, Xu Hongdou walked into the small restaurant, and Nana greeted her warmly.
Xu Hongdou glanced around and happened to spot Qin Hao's table, so she asked curiously.
"Why are they all here? Who is that girl?"
Nana suppressed a smile and replied: "That girl was arranged by Sister Xiaochun for a blind date with Mr. Xie. As a result, Mr. Xie used Lao Qin to top the tank. I guess Sister Xiaochun will get angry again later. Let's stand far away to avoid it."
After a while, blood spattered on my body."
Xu Hongdou was happy: "Is it that exaggerated?"
"That's because you have never seen Sister Xiaochun in a rage. She is so heroic and heroic, and she is like a woman."
Xu Hongdou didn't feel anything bad at first, but gradually, for some reason, seeing Qin Hao chatting "hotly" with the girl, she felt a little awkward. Even she couldn't find the specific reason for this awkwardness.
.
By some strange coincidence, Xu Hongdou walked over and said, "Hey, what are you talking about? We're so happy. Do you mind if I add some fun?"
The girl who came for the blind date was keenly aware of Xu Hongdou's hostility and asked warily: "Who are you?"
Xie Zhiyao and Xie Xiaochun were also stunned, wondering why this person was here to join in the fun?
As a result, before they could introduce him, he saw Xu Hongdou holding the table, leaning forward slightly, and said to Qin Hao, "I'm asking you, who am I."
Okay, now the girl knew the answer without asking. She angrily picked up the water glass and poured it on Qin Hao's face.
"Why would you go out on a blind date when you have a girlfriend? Bah, you scumbag!"
Fortunately, Qin Hao reacted quickly and blocked it with a dinner plate.
Xie Xiaochun hurriedly chased the girl out to explain to others, but the girl didn't listen at all and shouted at her: "Liar!"
Well, things got serious this time. Xie Xiaochun returned to the tavern angrily, staring at the three of them with his hands on his hips.
"Is it fun? Is it enough? Is it interesting?"
Qin Hao raised his hand to express his innocence, and pointed to Xie Zhiyao to indicate that he was the culprit.
