Chapter 340 Xu Damao was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat (1)
When Xu Damao walked out of Yang Jianye's house, his face was filled with a kind of satisfaction and pride that was difficult to conceal. He raised his head slightly and walked briskly, as if every step was stepping on the drumbeat of victory.
He put his hands behind his back and tapped his fingers together, as if keeping time to his own achievements.
When he passed by the He family, he stopped, his eyes lingered on the He family's doorplate for a moment, and then a determined smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This smile was full of confidence and expectation, as if he had already seen his own brilliant future.
He turned his head slightly, as if to announce his victory to the He family, then turned around gracefully and strode towards home.
All of this was seen by Liu Haizhong who happened to be out to the toilet. Liu Haizhong rubbed his sleepy eyes and saw Xu Damao laughing at the door of He's house, with a hint of doubt on his face.
He did not notice that Xu Damao came out of Yang Jianye's house, but just felt that the smile was a little strange.
He scratched his head, trying to understand the meaning behind the smile, but ultimately shook his head, thinking that he might be overthinking it.
Liu Haizhong didn't take this matter to heart. He yawned and continued walking towards the toilet.
Xu Damao has returned home and started planning his next step. His heart is full of longing and expectations for the future.
......
The next morning, the sunlight poured into the house through the window. Xu Damao got up early, dressed, and went to the He family with full of expectations.
He walked hurriedly with a friendly smile on his face, thinking about working with He Yuzhu and deepening their friendship.
Arriving at the He family's door, Xu Damao knocked gently. After waiting for a moment, He Yuzhu opened the door.
He Yuzhu was a little surprised to see Xu Damao visit so early, but then he smiled warmly and asked:
"Xu Damao, you're here so early. Have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat at my house?"
In order to see He Yuzhu earlier, Xu Damao rushed over without eating.
When he heard He Yuzhu's invitation, his eyes lit up and he looked unconsciously at the food on the table. The fragrant food made him swallow his saliva.
He replied bluntly: "Since you invited me, I won't be polite. It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet."
As he spoke, Xu Damao walked to the dining table, sat down, and said to He Daqing, who was reading a newspaper, with a smile:
"Uncle He, good morning. I'm sorry to bother you so early. When my dad comes back someday, I'll ask him to treat you to a drink as an apology."
He Daqing put down the newspaper, raised his head, looked at Xu Damao's sincere smile, and replied with a smile:
"Haha, Xu Damao, you're too polite. Since you're so thoughtful, I'll be waiting for your dad's dinner. Come, I'll help you get a bowl of porridge."
As he spoke, He Daqing stood up, picked up the bowl on the table, and served Xu Damao a bowl of hot porridge.
Xu Damao took the bowl and started eating without hesitation. Although he ate quickly, his movements were very elegant, and he enjoyed every bite, not looking embarrassed at all.
His face was filled with satisfaction, as if he was tasting the most delicious food in the world.
After eating a few bites, Xu Damao couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This porridge and pickles are so delicious. They are also simple foods, but they are made differently. They are even more delicious than what I make at home."
After finishing his meal, Xu Damao remembered the purpose of his visit. He put down his bowl, wiped his mouth, and said to He Yuzhu with a smile:
"Yuzhu, where's your brother? I was planning to cultivate a relationship with him. After all, we will be colleagues in the same department in the future."
When He Yuzhu heard Xu Damao mention his younger brother, a look of disgust appeared on his face.
He rolled his eyes at Xu Damao and replied unhappily, "Waiting for you to build relationships? That will be a waste of time."
Xu Damao was choked by He Yuzhu's words, but he quickly adjusted himself and said with a funny smile: "If you don't want to introduce me, then don't introduce me. Why are you making personal attacks? Even if we are good brothers, I won't agree with you."
He pretended to be angry as he spoke, but there was a smile in his eyes, so it was obvious that he was not really angry.
"Okay, Damao, stop playing tricks." He Yuzhu smiled and patted Xu Damao on the shoulder, explaining:
"My brother and his family have gone back with Aunt Bai to pack up the house they will live in. I'll introduce you to someone next time I have a chance." There was a hint of apology in his voice, but more of it was concern and love for his brother.
When Xu Damao heard the news, a hint of disappointment flashed across his face, but he quickly adjusted himself and showed his usual smile:
"Well, it looks like I won't be able to see you today. But it doesn't matter, I'm done eating, let's go, I woke up early today just to be able to get to work earlier with you."
He Yuzhu nodded, and following Xu Damao's words, he stood up and said goodbye to He Daqing who was reading a newspaper nearby: "Dad, we're leaving." After that, he turned around and walked out of the house with Xu Damao.
Along the way, Xu Damao seemed to be very interested in He Yugang's affairs, and he kept asking about various things about He Yugang.
He Yuzhu listened, and his brows gradually frowned. He stopped, turned around and looked at Xu Damao, with a serious expression on his face, without saying a word.
Xu Damao felt a little nervous when He Yuzhu looked at him. He felt that there seemed to be something hidden in He Yuzhu's eyes.
He was shocked, thinking that his little trick had been discovered.
He smiled awkwardly, with beads of sweat on his forehead flashing in the sun. He tried to break the silent atmosphere with laughter:
"Yuzhu, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly silent?"
He smiled and observed He Yuzhu's reaction, hoping to find some clues from it.
