Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 265 Crouching Dragon vs Phoenix Chick

What is this? You buy it?

Lou Xiao'e on the side just shook her head speechlessly.

Xu Damao, ah Xu Damao, it's okay for you to raise a woman and a child for others, but the key is that you even use your own private money to buy nutrition from the child's biological father. Is there anything more outrageous than this in the world?

He dug a hole and then jumped into it. He deserves to be taken advantage of.

Looking at the kind-hearted Wang Hongtao standing by, Lou Xiaoe was even more speechless.

How did I find this man?

One is extremely stupid, inviting a wolf into the house and treating him as a good brother;

A person who is so wicked that he is beyond belief will never do anything that has anything to do with other people!

How could I be so lucky to meet these two?

Lou Xiao'e got angry at the thought and stomped on Wang Hongtao's foot hard.

“Hiss…” Wang Hongtao shouted without realizing it.

"What's the matter, Lao Wang?" Xu Damao asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay. I felt stressed about helping you get food, so I pinched myself."

Xu Damao was even more moved when he heard this: "Thank you for your concern, brother."

"Ezi is a picky eater who can't stand bad food. I have to take care of Ezi myself and don't have time to go to the countryside. I have no other choice but to trouble you, brother."

Wang Hongtao nodded to show his understanding: "I have to tell you first, the hardest thing to get these days is food. Not to mention if you don't have a ticket, it's hard to buy it even if you have a ticket. You have to be mentally prepared."

"You can't ask me to use both connections and money, and I don't have the money to put in."

Lou Xiao'e chimed in: "Old Wang is so poor that he has to borrow money to make ends meet, but he still sends food to our family. Damao, you can't treat him badly."

Xu Damao patted his chest and assured: "That's impossible. Don't worry, Lao Wang, as long as you can get food, you will definitely not lose money in terms of price."

Wang Hongtao was secretly delighted when he heard this, but on the surface he pretended to be very embarrassed: "Sister Xiao'e, tell me what you want to eat first, and I'll see if I can get it."

Lou Xiao'e thought and said, "For meat dishes, I would like to eat pork, fish, and old hens. For vegetables, I would like to eat tomatoes, eggplants, and pumpkins. As for fruits, I would like to eat whatever you can get. I am not picky."

"Okay, I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee that I can get it."

"I need to talk to Brother Damao about the price first. The daily amount is about ten yuan."

"So expensive?" Xu Damao asked in surprise.

Wang Hongtao sighed, "Not bad at all. Times are tough right now. Even if you have money but no tickets, you can't buy anything. Take pork for example. It's at least 13 or 14 yuan a pound on the black market, and you have to rob to buy it. Old hens are about the same, 7 or 8 yuan each."

"I'm only willing to help you because we have a good relationship. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even bother to get involved!"

Wang Hongtao said nice things, but the baby in Lou Xiaoe's belly was his. Lou Xiaoe was malnourished and wanted to eat well. Even if Xu Damao didn't ask Wang Hongtao for help, he would find a way to make up for it for Lou Xiaoe.

Xu Damao recalled the last time Wang Hongtao helped Sha Zhu buy pork. He charged him three yuan for three taels of pork including the meat ticket. In comparison, his own purchase was indeed cheap.

In addition, what he said about the black market price of pork being more than ten yuan without a ticket is also true, and people really don’t earn their own money.

After calculating his own savings, Xu Damao said with a pained heart, "Well, just buy it. After all, the child is the most important thing."

Wang Hongtao slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! Brother Damao, you said yourself that your Xu family has been a single-line family for three generations. Now that you finally have a child, shouldn't you take good care of him?"

"You can earn money again if you lose it, but if your child doesn't get enough nutrition and doesn't grow tall, it will be a lifelong problem!"

"You don't want your children to be like chicks in the future, do you?"

Xu Damao gritted his teeth, turned around and took out an iron box from the bedroom, counted out three hundred yuan and handed it to Wang Hongtao, saying arrogantly: "I'll risk it all! I'll help you arrange one month's salary first!"

Then he muttered, "I don't know when my father-in-law and his family will be back..."

Wang Hongtao took the money and said slowly: "You know, I'm not taking your money, but using your money to do your business..."

Xu Damao nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand, thank you brother!"

While Xu Damao was putting the iron box away, Lou Xiaoe whispered to him, "He still has at least 700 yuan of private money!"

"Don't worry, it's still a long way from giving birth, I'll get him sooner or later.

After giving birth, you have to take care of the baby and stay in confinement, which costs a lot of money. I made Xu Damao pick up cigarette butts when he wanted to smoke!" Wang Hongtao replied in a mean way.

"You are just bad!"

"hey-hey."

After Xu Damao put the iron box away, he came back with a sad face and said, "It's like we've gone back to the time before liberation. All our private savings are gone."

Wang Hongtao ignored this: "There's nothing I can do. If you want to eat good food, you have to spend money. Spend a lot of money."

"I'll deliver the rest of the food to your house every other day so it won't spoil easily. Sister Xiao'e, remember to tell me two days in advance if you want to eat anything."

"Tell others that it was taken from Sister Xiao'e's house. If we can't explain the origin of the item clearly, none of us will be in trouble."

Xu Damao nodded: "Don't worry, I know the importance of this, and I promise I won't cause you any trouble."

After things were discussed, Xu Damao felt particularly relieved because he had put down the burden on his mind. After a few drinks, he couldn't tell east from west and slumped over the table.

I was drunk and had a blackout.

Lou Xiao'e got up and walked into the house. Wang Hongtao understood and moved Xu Damao to the small bed first, then accompanied Lou Xiao'e into the inner room.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Wang Hongtao always felt that Lou Xiao’e had gained more flesh, especially her little face, which was so round and chubby that people couldn’t help but want to ravage it.

“Hong Tao…”

Lou Xiao'e muttered like in a dream and sat down next to Wang Hongtao.

Wang Hongtao leaned forward, moved Lou Xiaoe to the inside seat against the wall, and then took her into his arms.

"Do you think we are being too harsh on Xu Damao?" Lou Xiao'e asked in a low voice, pursing her lips and playing with her hair.

I didn’t think anything of it when we were talking before, but now that I’m quiet, thinking about Xu Damao being drunk outside while I’m inside…

Lou Xiao'e gradually began to feel guilty.

Lou Xiao'e was happy when she first became pregnant, because before that, both Xu Damao and his parents had blamed her in some way, overtly or covertly.

So when she suddenly became pregnant, Lou Xiao'e felt proud and as if her injustice had been vindicated.

You blame me every day for not being able to lay eggs, but it is you who is unable to lay eggs in love!

But now, seeing Xu Damao serving her wholeheartedly and even using his private money to supplement her nutrition, Lou Xiao'e felt touched again, and the sense of guilt in her heart suddenly came up.

The craziest and most uninhibited time she had with Wang Hongtao before, the heavier her heart was now. Not only did she feel sorry for Xu Damao, but she was also mostly uneasy about the immorality of this.

But no matter how uneasy she was, she would definitely not agree to cut off contact with Wang Hongtao or give up the child.

That's why we are in a dilemma.

Wang Hongtao noticed Lou Xiaoe's tangle and comforted her, "Sister Xiaoe, you don't need to blame yourself."

"Yes, you are with me, but does Xu Damao have no other women outside?"

"What Xu Damao can do, you can't do?"
