"It's time to eat, wow, it smells so good." Damai came to the stove and smelled it, with a satisfied look on his face.
Mr. Ma has also served the rice and is looking forward to it.
When the last dish was brought to the table, Damai suddenly said: "Sister Hongdou probably hasn't eaten yet, how about I ask her to come down and eat together."
"Okay, this dish is enough anyway."
After Mr. Ma finished speaking, Damai was about to go upstairs to call someone when he saw Xu Hongdou's door opened.
"Sister Hongdou, come and eat. Today we have braised pork ribs, which are delicious." Damai waved.
Xu Hongdou smiled at Damai, but did not answer. He walked down the stairs and came to the small courtyard, but did not approach the kitchen. Instead, he smiled at Damai and said, "Thank you, Damai, but no, I have something to go out for."
trip."
After saying that, Xu Hongdou glanced at Qin Hao again.
Damai looked at Xu Hongdou's leaving figure, then looked at Qin Hao, and whispered: "Brother Hao, have you made Sister Hongdou angry? Why does she look at you like that?"
"Ahem, don't talk during eating or sleeping. Talking while eating is not conducive to digestion." Qin Hao was slightly embarrassed and prepared to change the topic.
Mr. Ma said to Damai with a face full of joking: "Oh, you kid, why don't you have any sharp eyesight? This person obviously has a special relationship with someone. It's not common for them to have small conflicts."
"Master Ma, what's the unusual relationship? Who is this person and this person?" Damai's face was full of confusion.
Qin Hao glared at Master Ma angrily, then put a piece of braised pork ribs into the barley bowl: "Don't listen to his nonsense."
"oh."
Mr. Ma chuckled: "Okay, I won't say it, I won't say it anymore, someone will become angry because of shame."
After eating and drinking, Master Ma was washing the dishes, while Damai went back to catch up on his sleep. Qin Hao leisurely leaned back on the recliner and was about to take a nap, but Xie Zhiyao barged in.
"You are really good at riding the 'little cutie' back from the racecourse, throwing it at my house and forgetting about it. Return it to me quickly." Seeing Qin Hao's comfortable state, Xie Zhiyao couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Qin Hao exposed it on the spot: "You just don't want others to have a leisurely life, so why don't you just send it yourself? You still have to make a trip for me."
"I'm not free right now. I'm going to visit Uncle Heshun later." Xie Zhiyao would not admit that he was jealous.
Qin Hao yawned: "Are you helping Mr. Xie introduce business again?"
Xie Zhiyao nodded.
Qin Hao couldn't help complaining: "Tell me, why are you doing this? You work so hard to help him with business. You don't make a penny, and Teacher Xie doesn't appreciate it. To put it bluntly, you are just cheap."
Xie Zhiyao sighed: "Yes, I am a bitch, but no matter what, I still call him uncle. I can help him a little bit."
These words left Qin Hao speechless. After experiencing so many worlds, Xie Zhiyao was the first person he had ever encountered who devoted himself selflessly to others.
"Yes, you don't seek for yourself, but only for others. It's me who is being narrow-minded."
Xie Zhiyao was happy: "Why do you suddenly think so highly of me?"
"It's definitely out of emotion. For a good person like you, I decided to stay away from you. Generally, good people don't end well." Qin Hao joked.
Xie Zhiyao rolled his eyes: "That mouth of yours is really damaging."
After the laughter, Qin Hao said seriously: "Actually, with Teacher Xie's current reputation, there is really no shortage of work. His current problem is that the apprentice cannot see hope. I think, instead of introducing business to Teacher Xie, why not
Why not spend more time and help Xia Xia make short videos."
Xie Zhiyao thought for a while: "Well, what you said makes sense, but it doesn't conflict with helping Uncle Heshun introduce business. Let me help him negotiate the deal first."
After saying that, Xie Zhiyao stood up and left, saying something before walking to the door.
"The little cutie is at the door. Remember to help me return it to the racecourse. There are tourists coming in the afternoon and they have already made reservations. Don't delay."
There was no other way, Qin Hao could only get up, stretched out and said hello to Mr. Ma before leaving the courtyard.
At the door, the "little cutie" was scratching his hooves impatiently. When he saw Qin Hao coming out, he immediately snorted and stretched his head over to please him.
Qin Hao patted the "little cutie" on the horse's face, and did not get on the horse, but led it slowly to the racecourse.
When passing by Gesanghua Hotel, Xu Hongdou happened to come out of it, and the two bumped into each other. However, Xu Hongdou did not give Qin Hao a good look and turned around to leave.
As a result, the "little cutie" recognized Xu Hongdou, extended her pony face to please her, and blocked Xu Hongdou's way.
Xu Hongdou naturally thought that this was Qin Hao's instruction and glared at him again.
Qin Hao said he was wronged: "This has nothing to do with me. It may just recognize you and say hello."
After Qin Hao said this, Xu Hongdou looked at the agitated "little cutie" again, stretched out his hand to touch its face, and sure enough, the "little cutie" calmed down immediately, and even rubbed his head against Xu Hongdou's body.
, just like a child acting coquettishly, it made Xu Hongdou finally have a smile on her face.
"Okay, I apologize for my previous reckless behavior. Next time this happens again, I will definitely say hello to you in advance."
Facing Qin Hao's seemingly sincere apology, Xu Hongdou sneered: "Do you still want a next time? I'm dreaming!"
After saying that, Xu Hongdou patted the "little cutie" on the head, then turned and left.
The "little cutie" was about to follow when Qin Hao slapped it on the forehead and said angrily: "Let's go back to the racecourse."
The "little cutie" followed behind aggrievedly.
On the other side, after Xu Hongdou and Qin Hao separated, they wandered into the market unknowingly. Grandma Xie spotted her from afar and waved to her enthusiastically.
"Thank you, grandma, did you make these yourself? Your hands are so skillful." Xu Hongdou praised while holding a cloth tiger.
Xie Grandma nodded kindly: "Which one do you like, Grandma will give it to you."
"No need, I just think your craftsmanship is really good." Xu Hongdou said and began to change the subject: "Thank you, grandma, how much can you sell this day?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Grandma Xie said with a smile: "It doesn't cost much, one or two hundred when it's good, and dozens of yuan when it's bad, which is enough for our family's food and pocket money.
"
Xu Hongdou couldn't help but have some doubts. Grandma Xie's son and daughter-in-law were not at home, so she should send money back. Besides, she also got her son Xie Zhiyuan back. Why would an old lady go out to set up a stall to earn living expenses? And Xie Zhiyuan.
Yao, you are already thirty and you are still "not doing a proper job" and you can't even support your family. No wonder you don't have a girlfriend and you have to go on a blind date.
Xu Hongdou suddenly felt lucky that she had messed up the blind date yesterday, otherwise the female teacher would have jumped into the fire pit.
"Thank you grandma, I'm going to go shopping first and we'll talk later."
"Okay, take your time and stroll around."
Here, when Qin Hao led the "little cutie" to the racecourse, tourists had already arrived. There were six or seven people, all young men and women. Originally, Qin Hao planned to hand the "little cutie" to Uncle Deqing and leave, but it turned out that
He was mistaken by two tourist girls as the staff of the racecourse and asked Qin Hao to teach them how to ride horses.
Qin Hao originally refused, but Uncle Deqing trotted over: "Xiao Qin, it's great that you're here. I'm the only one at the racecourse today. There are so many people who want to ride horses. I really can't handle it."
, just help me."
Well, everyone asked for it, so Qin Hao could only make a cameo appearance and started to be an equestrian coach.
However, Qin Hao soon discovered that the two girls were not interested in riding horses at all. They kept asking about his personal situation, where he was from, whether he had a girlfriend, etc.
Qin Hao exchanged a few perfunctory words with them whether they wanted to or not, and finally spent the two hours of riding lessons, and quickly left.
Not long after I walked out, my phone rang. I saw it was an unfamiliar number. I hesitated for a moment and pressed the answer button.
"Hello."
"Hi, hello, do you know Xu Hongdou?"
Qin Hao was stunned for a moment: "I know you, who are you?"
"I'm Xu Hongdou's mother. That's it. Xu Hongdou's phone has been blocked. I remember she called me from this number before. Can you help me call her?"
Qin Hao remembered that Xu Hongdou did come to him to borrow his cell phone the day he arrived. It seemed that he was reporting to his family that he was safe.
"Auntie, I'm outside now, and Xu Hongdou has also gone out. How about this? I'll look for her later. If I can't find her for the time being, can I wait until she comes back and call you back?"
Mother Xu's grateful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Okay, thank you so much. This Hongdou is really good. I broke my mobile phone when I was traveling far away. I couldn't find it all day long, but it made us anxious."
.”
"Okay, just stop saying a few words and let others laugh."
No need to ask, this must be Father Xu.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao walked towards Yunmiao Village to see if he could see him on the road. If he couldn't, there was nothing he could do. Anyway, Mother Xu had nothing urgent to do.
However, forget it, I actually ran into Xu Hongdou right next to the ancient tree in Yunmiao Village, and she was taking pictures everywhere.
Xu Hongdou took the camera and took pictures, but an "uninvited guest" suddenly appeared in the lens. Xu Hongdou was about to ignore it and pretended not to see it, but was stopped by Qin Hao.
Facing the mobile phone handed over by Qin Hao, Xu Hongdou's face was full of doubts.
Qin Hao recounted the phone call from Xu's mother just now.
"Did my mother say what happened?" Xu Hongdou asked.
Qin Hao shook his head and put the phone directly into her hand: "Call back and ask, and we'll find out."
Xu Hongdou hesitated for a moment and then said: "Thank you."
Then he walked aside to make a phone call, and Qin Hao didn't follow him. After all, it wasn't good to eavesdrop on other people's messages.
After almost ten minutes, Xu Hongdou returned the phone and said, "Here, please."
"It's not like you to be so polite." Qin Hao teased.
Xu Hongdou curled his lips and mumbled, "You speak as if you know me very well."
It was said that it was Digu, but in fact the voice was quite loud. Qin Hao heard it clearly and was secretly amused. Not to mention, he really knew Xu Hongdou and even knew the situation in her family. Of course, he couldn't say this, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do it.
Xu Hongdou would be regarded as a "pervert".
"I'm going back to the courtyard first. Do you want to continue shopping or not?" Qin Hao asked.
Xu Hongdou said helplessly: "I will also go back to the courtyard. The tasks assigned by my mother must be completed first. Then I will lend you your phone."
"OK."
The two of them were walking side by side on the stone road in Yunmiao Village, Xu Hongdou suddenly said with emotion.
"People here should live happily, right?"
Qin Hao shook his head: "That's just because you feel happy. You see, most of the people here are old people and children. Most of the young and middle-aged people go out to work, that is, they come back during the holidays. Do you think children and old people
Can you be happy?"
Xu Hongdou was silent for a long time after hearing this, and murmured: "Is life in a big city good? You live like a gear, turning constantly every day. When the wear and tear becomes serious one day, you will be eliminated."
"Although big cities have the hardships of big cities, there is nothing we can do about it. People always have to survive. The elderly and children have to be fed. Problems such as education and medical care cannot be solved in rural areas. They can only force people to gather in cities, and it is difficult to leave their hometown.
, As long as they can live a good life in their hometown, who would be willing to leave their hometown?" Qin Hao said with emotion.
Xu Hongdou stared at Qin Hao for a while: "You also lived in the countryside when you were a child?"
Qin Hao nodded: "When I was a kid, I would go back to my hometown during the summer vacation. I would go up the mountains to catch rabbits, go down to the rivers to catch fish, catch crabs in the creeks, and chase chickens and dogs. This caused a lot of chaos in the village, and everyone hated me."
Xu Hongdou couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "Then you are really naughty."
"What about you? You weren't a good girl when you were a child, were you?" Qin Hao asked.
Xu Hongdou glanced sideways at Qin Hao: "When I was a child, I grew up with my grandma. At that time, my grandma raised a lot of chickens. I also told my grandma that I would not go back to school and would raise chickens with her. My sister
I laughed at it for a while."
We kept walking all the way, and before we knew it, we arrived at the entrance of Fengfeng Xiaoyuan.
"As agreed, the past has been settled, and we are not allowed to find fault again." Qin Hao took the opportunity to propose.
Xu Hongdou snorted, but did not refute and went straight into the small courtyard.
Mr. Ma was lounging leisurely on the recliner when he saw Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou coming back one after another. While Xu Hongdou was going upstairs, he quietly said to Qin Hao: "How is it? Are you reconciled?"
"Master Ma, I think you should continue to meditate." Qin Hao rolled his eyes.
The mouth that eats people is short, and the hands that take people are short, so Mr. Ma had no choice but to close his mouth, step back, and pretend that nothing happened.
After a while, Xu Hongdou brought a notebook down, asked Qin Hao to borrow his mobile phone, and then started making calls.
Qin Hao probably also heard some information. Basically, Xu Hongdou's cousin got married and was going to the capital for her honeymoon. She wanted to stay in Xu Hongdou's previous hotel. Xu Hongdou didn't tell his parents about his resignation, fearing that they would worry.
Naturally, I was afraid that this matter would be exposed, so I wanted to arrange for my cousin and the others to stay in another hotel.
"There's no way you can hide it like this. They'll be even more worried if they find out." Qin Hao reminded Xu Hongdou after seeing him finish the phone call.
Xu Hongdou brushed up her somewhat messy hair: "If I tell them, they won't worry anymore? If I can't help, I'll add more trouble. It can only be hidden for a while."
"No, how do you know I'm hiding something from them?"
"Have you resigned? The rent of Youfeng Xiaoyuan starts from three months. Which company offers such good treatment and allows me to take three months' leave? You can also introduce it to me."
