Not long after, Liang Ladie ran over with Da Mao. She saw the other three children playing at the side and grabbed them to see if they were alright.
She walked to Xu Damao's side in embarrassment.""I'm sorry, comrade. I was too nervous about the child just now.”
"It's okay. I understand."
"Don't let the children come to the river in the future. They're too young and too dangerous. What if there's no one around?"
"Also, do you think there's no one who can play Flower Patting in Beijing? Don't let them come to places with fewer people. It's best if they play in the courtyard.”
"Thank you so much for today, comrade! "Half a year ago, my man left. I still had to work and didn't have time to take care of the children. Usually, Da Mao would take them to play in the courtyard. Now that it's the end of the month, there's no food at home. The children are so hungry that they came out to find food.”
The more Liang Ladie spoke, the sadder she became. In the end, she burst into tears.
……
Perhaps it was because her husband had just died for half a year, so she had been gritting her teeth and persisting.
It was not easy for him to meet a good person that he did not know today. The pressure in his heart was released.
After Liang Ladi cried for a while, Xu Damao said,""That woman, the child is beside you. Don't cry.
If you didn't know, you would think that I bullied you!”
"Sorry, I couldn't control myself.”
"It's okay. I understand, but you have to be strong in front of the child.”
Xu Damao carried the fish basket out of the river.
"Here, these are the fish I promised to catch for the children. Take them back. It's getting late. Go home early and cook for the children.”
"How can I do that? The children ate your food at noon. I can't take this fish.”
"Take it. This is for the children. Give the children more to eat.”
"If I want to eat, I can fish again. My fishing skills are pretty good.”
Liang Ladi thanked him while crying.
"Comrade, I'm Liang Ladi from the machine repair factory. Which unit are you from? I'll definitely repay you if I have the chance!”
"I'm a projectionist at the steel factory. My name is Xu Damao. There's no need to repay me.
We're still in the same unit. If the child wants to eat fish, come and find me.
If I don't go to the countryside to play movies or go to work, I'll usually be here on Sunday afternoons.
You guys go back early. I'm leaving too.”
After saying that, he called Blackie and waved his hand before leaving.
Liang Ladi watched Xu Damao walk away. She also took the child and the fish home. However, on the way back, the family laughed.
Xu Damao found a place with less people and more grass. He went up and called Little Black to his side. As he rubbed it, he said,"Little Black, we shouldn't have come out today at all. We were chased by others when we were painting and fishing.”
He lay on the ground and looked at the sun that was about to disappear.
It was another sunset. After watching the sunset for a while to recover his mood, he packed up and went home.
However, he had not been able to flirt with Qin Huiru for a few days. For some reason, he could not bump into her on his way to and from work.
Eat, sleep, feed Little Black.
The courtyard was always bustling in the morning.
He woke up, washed up, fed himself and Little Black.
He carried his equipment, greeted his neighbors, and went to work.
Little Black didn't need to go into his bag this time. The Section Chief asked him to bring it.
After handing over the procedures with the Section Chief, he left Little Black behind and sent the projector to the Equipment Department himself.
He began his regular life of drinking tea, smoking, and reading newspapers.
In the room next to him, the laughter of the Section Chief and the sound of him giving orders to Little Black could be heard from time to time.
He went to work, read books, went to the countryside, and watched movies.
They went fishing on Sunday afternoon. They didn't catch many fish, only two or three for Da Mao.
Da Mao said that his mother had been working overtime on weekends to earn more money.
After Da Mao left, he stopped fishing and went to the library to exchange for a few books before going home.
Today, the Deaf Old Lady and He Yushui were feeding the rabbits in the yard.
Xu Damao looked very heartwarming. He went home and took out a pen and paper, planning to draw this scene.
When she was almost done, He Yushui shouted,
"Xu Damao, where have you been sneaking around for so long? What are you doing?”
"Shh, don't make a fuss."
"Old Madam, is Xu Damao crazy?”
"You'll know soon enough." The Deaf Old Lady chuckled.”
The old lady had seen other people drawing before. Xu Damao was holding a picture clip, just like the ones she had seen drawing before.
He Yushui was brainless. After hearing what Silly Zhu said about Xu Damao's wrongdoings, she subconsciously thought that Xu Damao was up to no good.
"He Yushui, you go to school every day. Why didn't you learn to be smarter?”
"I'm sneaking around in front of my own house? What brain?
You, stay away from your brother in the future and come to the old lady more often. Otherwise, you might become a fool one day!”
"Xu Damao, what are you talking about? Do you believe that my brother will beat you up?"
"I can't be bothered with you."
"Old Madam, I saw you and the silly girl feeding the rabbit just now. It felt good, so I drew it.”
The deaf old lady took it and looked at it. It was really good. It really looked like a photo.
"Good, good drawing. Damao still has this skill.”
"As long as you're satisfied! I'll buy a better, bigger piece of paper and draw one for you with a colored pen.”
"Good! Sure!"
"Then you can rest. I'm going back to my room."
"Old Madam, was this drawn by Xu Damao?”
He Yushui asked,
"When did he learn this? Is this still Xu Damao?"
"You silly girl, do I have to report to you what I know? Xu Damao is right. Don't listen to your brother in the future. He's almost driving your brain away.”
The old lady returned to her room and put the painting away, leaving only He Yu behind, still in a daze.
"Old Madam, please show me the painting again. I didn't look at it carefully just now.”
"It really looks like it! The next time Old Madam Xu Damao draws for you, can you ask him to draw for me too?”
"Where's your brain, girl? If you want someone to help you draw, then go find him! I don't know how to draw."
"Yes, I'll go find him."
He turned around and was about to leave.
"Come back. Why don't you look at the time? You can ask your brother to bring you there, or you can look for him tomorrow.”
"That's right! I'll go find my brother."
"Is your brother home?"
"Oh! My brother isn't home. He went to drink."
"Then I'll look for him tomorrow morning."
The next day, Xu Damao was planning to go to work. Just as he reached the middle court, he heard He Yushui calling him.
"Xu Damao!"
"What's wrong, Rainwater?"
"Can you help me draw a picture too?”
"Sunday. I'll wait for you at home. I have to work now.”
"I'll be back from school this afternoon and won't be staying on campus. Can you help me draw one today?”
"We'll talk about it when we come back in the afternoon. If the leader doesn't go overseas, it's fine. If you don't like the quality of the paper in my notebook, then you can prepare your own paper. If you don't, I'll help you draw when I come back.”
"Thank you, Xu Damao."
"You're welcome."
