Chapter 10: Donkey Pulling Mill Beginning Paintings

Not long after, Liang Ladi ran over with Da Mao. She saw three other children playing aside and grabbed the children to see if they were alright.

Embarrassed, he walked to Xu Damao: "I'm sorry, comrade, I was too nervous about the child just now."

"It's okay, I understand."

"Don't let children come to the river in the future. They are too young and too dangerous. What should I do if there is no one around?"

"Also, do you think there are no people playing "Paihuazi" in Sijiucheng? Don't let them come to a place with few people. It's best to play in the courtyard."

"Thank you so much for today, comrade! Six months ago, my husband left, and I had to go to work. I didn't have time to take care of the children. Usually Da Mao took them to play in the yard. It's the end of the month, and there is no food at home. Give it to the children.

I was so hungry that I went out to look for something to eat."

Liang Ladi became more and more sad as she talked, and finally burst into tears.

………….

Maybe it’s because my husband has been dead for half a year, but he has been gritting his teeth and persisting.

Today I finally met a good person I didn't know, and the pressure in my heart was relieved.

After Liang Ladi cried for a while, Xu Damao said: "That lesbian, the child is next to you, please stop crying.

If you didn’t know this, you’d think I was bullying you!”

"I'm sorry, I couldn't control it."

"It's okay, I understand, but you still have to be stronger in front of your children."

Xu Damao lifted the fish basket out of the river.

"Now, these are the fish I promised to catch for a few children. You can take them back. It's getting late. Go home early and cook for the children."

"How embarrassing is this? The children ate your food for lunch. I can't have this fish."

"Take it, this is for the children. Give the children more to eat and watch them lose weight."

"I can go fishing if I want to eat. My fishing skills are quite good. You can take these."

Liang Ladi cried and thanked her at the same time.

"Comrade, I am Liang Ladi from the machine repair shop. You are from that unit. I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity!"

"My name is Xu Damao, the projectionist at my steel plant. I don't need anything to repay you.

We are still in the same unit. If the child wants to eat fish, he can come to me.

If I don’t go to the countryside to watch movies or go to work, I’m usually here on Sunday afternoons.”

You guys should go back early, I’m leaving too.”

After saying that, he called Xiao Hei, waved and left.

Liang Ladi watched Xu Damao go away, and she took her children and fish home, but on the way back, the family rarely heard laughter.

Xu Damao found a place with less people and more grass, went up, called Xiao Hei to his side, and said while stroking him: "Xiao Hei, we shouldn't have gone out at all today. We were chased for painting, and all the fishing was left to others."

Helped."

Lying on the ground, looking at the sun that was about to disappear in the sky.

It was sunset again. I watched the sunset for a while, recovered my mood, and then packed up and went home.

But I haven't flirted with Qin Huairu for a few days. I don't know what's going on. I always can't run into her on my way to and from get off work.

Eat, sleep, and feed Xiao Hei.

The garden is always busy in the morning.

Get up, wash up, feed yourself and Xiao Hei.

I put my equipment on my back, greeted my neighbors, and went to work.

Xiao Hei doesn't need to put in his schoolbag this time, the section chief asked him to carry it.

After handing over the procedures with the section chief, I left Xiao Hei behind and sent the projector to the equipment department myself.

Start a regular life of tea, cigarettes and newspaper.

From the next room, the section chief's laughter and the voice giving instructions to Xiao Hei could be heard from time to time.

Go to work, read books, go to the countryside, and watch movies.

I went fishing on Sunday afternoon. I didn’t catch much, I just caught two or three fish and gave them to Da Mao to take away.

Da Mao said that his mother has been working overtime on weekends to earn more money.

After Da Mao left, he stopped fishing and went to the library to exchange some books before returning home.

Today the deaf old lady and He Yuyu are feeding rabbits in the yard.

Xu Damao looked very warm. He went home and took out a pen and paper, intending to draw this scene.

When he was about to finish the painting, He Yuyu shouted

"Xu Damao, you have been sneaking around for a long time, what are you doing?"

"Shh, don't make any noise."

"Old lady, is Xu Damao sick and nervous?"

The deaf old lady chuckled: "You'll know in a minute."

The old lady had seen other people painting, and Xu Damao was holding a painting folder, which was the same as the one she had seen painting before.

He Yuyu was simply brainless, and after hearing what Si Zhu said about how wrong Xu Damao was, he subconsciously thought that Xu Damao had done nothing good.

"He Yuyu, you go to school every day, why haven't you learned to be smarter?"

"I'm just sneaking around in front of my house? What kind of brain do you have?

You, stay away from your brother from now on and come to the old lady more often, otherwise, you may become a fool one day!"

"Xu Damao, what are you talking about? Believe it or not, let my brother beat you."

"Too lazy to care about you"

"Old lady, I just saw you and the silly girl feeding rabbits. It felt good, so I drew it. Can you take a look?"

The deaf old lady took it and took a look. It was so good and so similar that it almost caught up with the photo.

"Okay, the painting is really good. Damao also has this skill, which is really good."

"As long as you're satisfied! I'll buy a piece of better and larger paper another day and draw one for you with a colored pen."

"Okay! Okay"

"Then rest, I'm going back to the house."

"Old lady, is this painted by Xu Damao?"

He Yuyu asked

"When will he know this? Is this still Xu Damao?"

"You silly girl, why should I report anything to you? What Xu Damao said is right. Don't listen to your brother in the future. He will almost lose your brain."

The old lady went back to the house and put the paintings away, leaving only He Yuyu, who continued to be confused.

"Old lady, you are showing me the painting. I didn't look carefully just now."

"The painting is really like it! When old lady Xu Damao paints for you next time, can you ask him to paint one for me too?"

"Where's your brain, girl? If you want someone to draw for you, then go ask him! I can't draw."

"Yes, I'll go find him."

Turn around and go.

"When you come back, why don't you look at what time it is now? Why don't you let your brother take you there, or why don't you find him yourself tomorrow."

"Yes! I'll go find my brother."

"Is your brother at home?"

"Oh! My brother is not at home, he went drinking."

"Then I'll find him tomorrow morning."

The next day, Xu Damao was going to go to work. When he walked to the middle courtyard, he heard He Yuyu calling him.

"Xu Damao"

"What's up, rain."

"Can you draw a picture for me too?"

"Let's wait until you are home on Sunday. I have to go to work now."

"I'm coming back from school this afternoon. I don't live on campus. Do you think you can draw one for me today?"

"We'll talk about it when we come back in the afternoon. If the leader doesn't want to be sent out, it's no problem. If you don't like the paper in my notebook, then prepare your own paper. If you don't like it, wait until I come back to help you draw."

"Thank you, Xu Damao."
