Siheyuan: Master of the Fire, Eating Watermelons Online

Chapter 2 Xu Damao took over the business
Wang Weiguo never thought that one day he would encounter such a thing.

Fortunately, the system appeared in time, otherwise I might have foolishly taken over the task.

This kind of thing is very common in later generations.

But who could have imagined that it would appear in the 1950s when there were so many virgins.

"Wang Weiguo, you asked me so many questions. You should know me well enough now, right?" After answering so many questions from Wang Weiguo, Liu Fang finally lost her patience and couldn't help asking.

Wang Weiguo glanced at Liu Fang but said nothing.

Liu Fang was anxious!
I originally thought she was genuine and not pretentious, but it turned out that she had something to hide and was in a hurry to sell herself.

"Don't worry!" Wang Weiguo did not express his opinion directly, but changed the subject, "Liu Fang, I see that you don't look well."

"Have it?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Fang couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.

She has always been in good health!

"You may not know, but I studied with an old Chinese doctor for a while. I know some medical skills, especially good at taking pulses. I know a little bit about all 28 pulses in Chinese medicine, and I can tell the diagnosis right away just by feeling them. Especially... let me tell you something you can understand, like this slippery pulse, which is what we often call a pregnancy pulse. I can tell whether someone has a baby or not just by feeling it."

Wang Weiguo deliberately showed off and pretended to reach out to test, "Come, let me diagnose you and see what's wrong with your body."

"Don't……"

"do not!"

"I'm in good health, you don't need to check on me."

Seeing this, Liu Fang quickly retracted her hand and her face turned slightly pale.

"What's wrong with you?"

As soon as Wang Weiguo saw Liu Fang's guilty and flustered look, he basically confirmed his previous guess.

"Nothing... nothing, I'm going to the bathroom."

Feeling something was wrong, Liu Fang found an excuse and ran away.

Looking at Liu Fang fleeing in panic, Wang Weiguo did not chase after her, but sighed helplessly.

Damn him, why does he always get into trouble like this?
【Eating Melon Value +666】

Just when Wang Weiguo was feeling depressed, the system suddenly gave him a signal.

Wang Weiguo estimated that the 666 points of melon-eating value were a reward from the system for confirming the secret of Liu Fang through testing.

The blind date partner got pregnant before marriage, this is a big news!
However, Wang Weiguo was a little confused. Was the system’s special reward value for eating melons a consolation or a mockery?

6 What a bastard!
Aren’t you a complete loser?
After complaining a bit, Wang Weiguo, who thought it was a blessing in disguise, directly opened the system's mall.

Then a projection interface popped up in front of him that only he could see.

There are many categories on it, such as food and beverages, daily necessities, clothing, electrical appliances, jewelry, knowledge, technology, martial arts and so on.

However, Wang Weiguo’s current authority is too low, and he can only unlock relatively basic products. He needs to continue to consume in the mall to obtain a better level and unlock more products and permissions.

For things like skills and martial arts, what can be purchased at the moment is the least, such as cooking, carpentry, military boxing, etc., and they are all relatively basic and elementary.

The key is that they are not cheap. Even the basic cooking skills cost 2000 yuan.

Anyway, it’s not something Wang Weiguo can afford now.

The food and beverage category has the most items that can be purchased, such as rice, flour, eggs, pork, beef, peanut oil, etc., which are all daily necessities and the prices are within an acceptable range.

For example, pork, you can buy a pound for 20 points of food value, and rice and flour are even cheaper.

You have to know that it was 58 and the whole country had entered the era of coupons, which meant that to buy daily necessities and food, not only money was needed, but also corresponding coupons or industrial vouchers.

These tickets and industrial vouchers were also supplied in fixed quantities based on each family's circumstances and personal income.

Even in the capital city of Sijiu, the monthly meat ration per person was only a few taels.

In other words, even if you have money, you can't eat meat whenever you want.

The existence of the system mall is a real benefit to Wang Weiguo!
Especially starting from next year, 59, the country will enter a special difficult period, which will last for three years.

With the system mall, Wang Weiguo can at least ensure that he and the people around him will not suffer.

Restraining his excitement, Wang Weiguo checked the system's lottery function again...

……

at the same time.

Liu Fang, suspecting that Wang Weiguo might have seen something, came outside. Just when she was wondering what to do next, the matchmaker Aunt Liu and Wang Hongmei, who were chatting outside the courtyard, came over.

Wang Hongmei is Wang Weiguo's aunt. It was she who found a matchmaker to help arrange this blind date.

Her younger brother and sister-in-law were in the northwest. Her nephew Wang Weiguo had been close to her since childhood, so naturally, as an elder, she helped to take care of his marriage.

"Liu Fang, why did you come out?"

Wang Hongmei hurried forward and asked.

After introducing their respective situations in the room, Wang Hongmei warmed up the atmosphere with the matchmaker Aunt Liu, and then found an excuse to leave, leaving Wang Weiguo and Liu Fang alone.

Unexpectedly, Liu Fang came out alone.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

"That's it!"

Matchmaker Aunt Liu and Wang Hongmei both breathed a sigh of relief. They thought Liu Fang was dissatisfied with Wang Weiguo and wanted to leave!

"By the way, Aunt Wang, did Wang Weiguo learn medical skills before?"

Thinking of what Wang Weiguo had just said, Liu Fang couldn't help but ask for confirmation in front of Wang Hongmei.

"Learn medicine?" Wang Hongmei was stunned, a little puzzled, "How come I don't know? Who told you that?"

"Wang Weiguo said so himself."

"Oh! I guess this kid is not honest and is joking with you on purpose! Don't take it seriously."

"Is that so?"

Liu Fang, who was originally worried, felt relieved when she heard that Wang Weiguo's medical skills were fake.

It seems that she was overthinking it just now, it was just a coincidence.

As for why Wang Weiguo did this, Liu Fang quickly found the reason.

Most of the time, he wanted to show off his ability in front of the girl, deceive her, or maybe take advantage of her.

It seems...

This Wang Weiguo is not very honest either!
"Girl, tell me the truth, what do you think of my Weiguo?"

"It's pretty good, I'm quite satisfied."

"That's a good show!"

"Auntie, I'm going to the bathroom first."

Wang Hongmei was overjoyed, while Liu Fang smiled "shyly" and "escaped" from here.

A real drama queen.

After coming out of the toilet, Liu Fang found a young man with a horse face whom she had seen before outside.

She didn't remember the other person's name, but she knew he was a projectionist and lived in the same courtyard as Wang Weiguo.

Seeing him looking at her, Liu Fang also smiled at him.

This smile almost stunned Xu Damao.

Too beautiful.

How could Wang Weiguo find such a good blind date?

He Xu Damao is not bad at all!
Xu Damao admitted that he was jealous.

Very jealous!

"Girl, wait a minute."

"You called me?" Liu Fang, who was about to leave and return to the courtyard, turned around and looked at Xu Damao, somewhat puzzled.

After Liu Fang said this, Xu Damao became even more excited.

What a beautiful and gentle voice!
Seeing Liu Fang stopped, Xu Damao stepped forward and said, "Hello, young lady. My name is Xu Damao. I'm a projectionist at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. I'm from the same studio as Wang Weiguo. We met just now. Do you recognize me?"

"Recognize it!"

Liu Fang nodded.

If it weren't for this reason, Liu Fang wouldn't have paid any attention to Xu Damao.

After all, although it is not as dangerous these days as in times of war, there are still bad people.

"It's like this, I stopped you because I have something to tell you."

"Are you on a blind date with Wang Weiguo now?"

"I am a kind-hearted person and I can't bear to see you jump into the fire pit, so I can't help but want to remind you."

"I'm telling you, this Wang Weiguo is not a good person. He's a scamp. Don't you know that?"

"He used to fight and bully people a lot, and he often traded things in the pigeon market. He was almost caught several times. If you marry him, you don't know how you will live in the future. You will only be worried and frightened."

"Although he seems to be doing very well as an apprentice at Fengze Garden, do you know how long he has been an apprentice?"

"Three years! He still hasn't finished his apprenticeship in three whole years. This clearly shows that he doesn't have the talent. Do you think he can become a master chef in the future?"

"Unlike me, I was already a regular employee at a young age and am now the youngest projectionist in the entire steel mill..."

When Xu Damao belittled Wang Weiguo, he also deliberately praised himself.

When Liu Fang found out that Xu Damao was slandering Wang Weiguo, she frowned and had the urge to leave immediately. After all, she still had a good impression of Wang Weiguo.

But when she heard the latter part, she hesitated.

There were things she wasn't aware of.

For example, Xu Damao said that Wang Weiguo was a hutong dweller who often traded things in the pigeon market. Considering the new information that he had been an apprentice for three years and had not yet graduated, I'm afraid he was just lazy, had no talent, and was not clean, right?
If this is the case, then Wang Weiguo is not a good choice.

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

Liu Fang is not a child, so she can naturally see that Xu Damao probably has ulterior motives for suddenly telling her these things.

Even though Xu Damao and Wang Weiguo didn't have any grudges against each other, they didn't get along well.

So she didn't believe it completely.

"how is this possible?"

"Who am I, Xu Damao? How could I do such a thing?"

"Besides, Wang Weiguo and I are in the same courtyard. If I wasn't sure, would I come and tell you this?"

"Everyone knows these things, but no one wants to talk about them. No one wants to offend their neighbors because of an unrelated girl."

"If you don't believe me, you can go and find out if Wang Weiguo used to be a hutong dangling, and if he has been an apprentice in Fengze Garden for three years but has not yet graduated. If these two things are false to you, then I, Xu Damao, will be struck by lightning and have no descendants."

She was a little skeptical at first, but since Xu Damao even swore that he would be struck by lightning and have no descendants, Liu Fang had no choice but to believe it.

Although feudal superstitions are expressly prohibited, most people still have awe for them and few dare to make jokes about them.

But Liu Fang was depressed again.

I thought I had found a good target worthy of entrusting, but I didn't expect it to be so unreliable.

If it weren't for Xu Damao's reminder, I might have been cheated.

"Thank you for reminding me. I will figure these out."

After saying thank you, Liu Fang prepared to return to the courtyard.

"Girl, I risked offending people and told you so much, but you are still planning to jump into the fire pit?" Xu Damao was anxious when he found out that Liu Fang was still planning to go back to the courtyard. "You don't believe me?"

I didn't expect that even after I used my ultimate move, this girl still wouldn't budge.

If I let her go back and tell everyone what happened, I would be in big trouble.

He just did all this at a huge risk.

"It's not that I don't believe it, thank you for telling me this, but even if I don't agree, I have to go back and explain it to the matchmaker, right?" Liu Fang subconsciously touched her belly and said helplessly.

"do not!"

"Just forget about going back."

"What do you mean?"

"What do you think of me?"

"My name is Xu Damao. I'm 21 years old this year. I'm a projectionist at the Red Star Steel Mill. My monthly salary is 35.5 yuan. I live in the backyard of the courtyard just mentioned. Like Wang Weiguo, I also have three rooms..."

Liu Fang understood.

Xu Damao was staying here not only to tell me those things, but also to intercept Wang Weiguo and become his partner.

This……

Liu Fang was a little confused.

Can this still be done?

"Isn't this bad?"

Although Xu Damao's conditions sound good, he has a horse face and is far inferior to Wang Weiguo.

The key point is that Xu Damao and Wang Weiguo live in the same courtyard. If I date Xu Damao without Wang Weiguo's knowledge, it will be awkward when they meet in the future.

Seeing Liu Fang's hesitation, Xu Damao was not someone who would give up easily, so he said, "Don't worry, let me analyze it with you. My conditions are much better than Wang Weiguo's.

Even though Wang Weiguo also has three rooms, his parents are just going to support the Northwest, it's not like they won't be back. If you have a child by then, it will be too crowded for your family to live in three rooms.

I am different.

To tell you the truth, my father was also a projectionist. He asked me to take over his job and found a job for himself in a cinema outside. He also reallocated a house to me. Now these three rooms are mine and I can live in them however I want.

Also, my father is an old projectionist, his monthly salary is not low, and he has saved up some money for me to marry a woman. If you marry me, I will give it all to you for safekeeping..."

When he said this, Xu Damao felt a little proud.

With his conditions, no one in the entire courtyard can compare with him.

Even Wang Weiguo is not good enough, let alone Sha Zhu, Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiefang.

"Also, I'm 21 now, and Wang Weiguo is only 19, still a young boy. If you're willing, you can get the marriage certificate now. If you're dating Wang Weiguo, you'll have to wait until next year to get married."

"Wang Weiguo is only nineteen?"

Liu Fang was stunned.

When she was on a blind date with Wang Weiguo before, no one told her this!

Liu Fang herself didn't pay much attention to it. After all, those who were able to go on blind dates were basically at the age of getting married.

But I didn’t expect that Wang Weiguo was a little earlier than others.

"It's totally genuine. I'd be a dog if I lied to you!"

Xu Damao said with a solemn vow.

Then, he looked at Liu Fang affectionately and confessed: "Liu Fang, I will marry you! The first time I saw you today, I fell in love with you."

Xu Damao had already found out everything about Liu Fang's situation.

Liu Fang herself is a female worker in a textile factory. Her father is an electrician and her two brothers are also workers. Where can you find a family with such good conditions?
If he wasn't so satisfied, Xu Damao wouldn't have done such a thing as intercepting someone in the street.

"Let me be honest with you!"

Xu Damao knew something was up when he saw Liu Fang thinking, and immediately added fuel to the fire, "The marriage certificate my father prepared for me, which cost a full three hundred yuan, is in my hand. As long as you are willing to get married with me, I will give it to you for safekeeping."

Liu Fang was moved.

After understanding Xu Damao's situation clearly, Liu Fang's heart was shaken, especially when Xu Damao threw out the three hundred yuan chips, that horse face was no longer a disadvantage, but an advantage.

Rich and generous men are the most handsome!
"Xu Damao, let's get the certificate now!"
