Widow Ma held her sleeping son in her arms and stopped to look at the two of them.
"I'm sorry, Projectionist Xiao Xu. I was originally going to let you live in the brigade headquarters, but the roof collapsed, so I have to live there. Don't worry, it's very clean there. I'll take care of you myself during the day. Cleaned up."
"It's okay, Captain Niu, as long as you have a place to stay, I'm not that pretentious."
"That's good, that's good. Then you can go with Comrade Ma Qiaoling."
Then the two of them walked side by side towards the west end of the village.
"Well, how about I help you hold it?"
Perhaps she was really tired from hugging her, so Widow Ma agreed.
When Xu Damao reached out to pick up Widow Ma's son, he accidentally touched a touch of softness and was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand.
Fortunately, it was dark and Xu Damao couldn't see the blush on Widow Ma's face.
Later, Xu Damao helped Widow Ma hold his son, and the two of them walked all the way to the west end of the village by moonlight.
"Here we are, this is the room the captain has arranged for you."
Widow Ma stopped and said.
"Ah, it's so fast. So, let me help you carry Benben in."
Widow Ma thought for a while and walked forward to the door of her house. After opening the door with the key, the two of them entered the house.
Xu Damao put Benben on the bed.
"That, that..." Xu Damao turned around and looked at Widow Ma, and couldn't help but think of that inadvertent touch.
"It's getting late."
"Ah, I know. Well, I..." Xu Damao hadn't finished speaking yet.
Widow Ma turned off the light.
"If you are not afraid that I will defeat you, then come."
When Xu Damao heard this, he picked up Widow Ma and threw her on the kang.
The next day, Xu Damao was woken up by Widow Ma just as it was getting light.
"Go and sleep quickly, don't let anyone see you, or I will be blamed to death."
"Oh, okay. I'll leave now." Xu Damao was about to put on his clothes, but then he saw Widow Ma's white flowers.
Unable to bear it, she gave Widow Ma a good beating. Then she got dressed and went to the next yard to take a nap.
There is still a screening task today, and Xu Damao is not in a hurry to get up.
At around 9 o'clock, Goudan came over and knocked on the door. Only then did Xu Damao wake up.
"Brother Damao, my father asked me to call you to eat."
"Okay, let's go."
After Xu Damao came out, Neptune took a look next door. Seeing that the door was locked, he followed Goudan to Captain Niu's house.
"I'm sorry, Captain Niu woke up late last night as he took the bed."
"It's okay, it's okay. I guessed that you might get up a little late, so I asked your aunt to cook a little later. Goudan, take your Damao brother to wash up and get ready for dinner."
Two more movies were shown in the evening, which was enough for the people in the brigade. Even people from other communes came to watch the movie.
After finishing the movie and packing up his things, Xu Damao could be said to be much more familiar this time with the experience he had last night.
After the two of them finished exercising, Xu Damao took his pants and took out 20 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Widow Ma.
"Take it, buy some meat for Benben tomorrow. I will come here often in the future."
Widow Ma hesitated for a while, then took the money and put it under her pillow.
The next day, Xu Damao reluctantly left Wenrou Township.
"I'm leaving. I'll see you again later."
After Xu Damao tied up all his things, Captain Niu came over carrying two hares and a pheasant.
"Xiao Projectionist, you've worked hard these past two days. Let's take some game back and cook it."
"Captain Niu is being polite, so I won't be polite to you anymore. I'll find an opportunity to show you a movie again in a while. We can be considered acquainted now."
"Haha, I'm just waiting for your little projectionist Xu's words. Then I'll wait for you at Niujiawan. I'll get you game next time I come."
The village cadres in Niujiawan kept sending Xu Damao out of the village.
What Xu Damao didn't know was that in the fields to the south, Widow Ma looked at his back for a long time and couldn't recover.
"Mom, what are you looking at?"
"Ah, I didn't see anything. Let's go home."
After Xu Damao returned to the city, he put the equipment back into the factory and gave their department director a hare.
Then he took the remaining hare and the pheasant and started walking towards the courtyard on his bicycle.
Yan Bugui, who was watering the flowers in the front yard, saw Xu Damao coming in with a hare and a pheasant, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Damao.
"Da Mao. Where did you get this? Why don't you ask your third aunt to clean it up for you?"
"Haha, third uncle, I didn't know you wanted to eat my rabbits and chickens. Here, cut the pheasant in half and cook it for the children. I have to give the rabbit to Brother Xingchen."
"It's a good relationship. Uncle Damao has looked after you since you were a child. When you have children in the future, uncle Damao will enroll your children in school."
"Then I have to thank you in advance, Third Uncle."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Yan Bugui took the pheasant home with a smile and chopped most of it, and then returned the remaining half to Xu Damao.
Xu Damao knew what kind of person he was. Looking at less than a third of the pheasant left, he just smiled and shook his head.
After parking the car, he first sent half of the pheasant back to his home, and then carried the rabbit to Luo Xingchen's house.
Xu Damao stood at the door and shouted into the house.
"Brother Xingchen, are you in the house?"
Then I heard Fan Shasha's voice.
"It's Damao. The door is unlocked. Come in."
Fan Shasha is washing pots and dishes.
"Sister-in-law, you are washing the dishes."
"Da Mao, look for your brother Xingchen. He went out to buy groceries with happiness."
"Oh, it's okay, sister-in-law, then I'll just give it to you. I went to the countryside to show a movie, and the hare they gave me is still alive. I thought of bringing it to Kaixin. He probably hasn't eaten the hare yet."
"Ah, it's really a rabbit. How can this be done? You can just take it back and eat it yourself."
"It's okay, sister-in-law, I'll leave it alone. You ask Brother Xingchen to cook it for Happy to eat tonight. I'll go over first." After Xu Damao said that, he put down the rabbit and went out.
"This kid."
When Luo Xingchen and Kaixin and his son came back from outside, Kaixin immediately saw the tied hare.
"Yeah, Rabbit."
"Where did the hare come from?"
"Da Mao gave it to me, but I didn't want it. He put it down and ran away." Fan Shasha explained.
"That's it, it's okay. Since he gave it to you, just accept it and pay it back later."
"Dad, I want to eat rabbit. I haven't eaten hare meat yet. All my classmates have."
"Okay, hurry up and do your homework. I have school tomorrow and haven't finished my homework yet. I'll make it for you to eat tonight."
After hearing Luo Xingchen's words happily, he quickly returned to his house, took his school bag and started doing homework.
In the evening, Luo Xingchen killed the rabbit. I chopped off the rabbit's tail and gave it to Kaixin to play with.
Wait until the rabbit meat is almost ready. Luo Xingchen asked Kaixin to call Xu Damao over.
"Da Mao, you sit down first, the pot will be served soon."
