However, he quickly calmed himself down.

He simply wanted to make a good impression on the Wang sisters and showcase his masculine charm.

I would never dare to have any other thoughts about them, let alone lay a hand on them.

"I just want to treat them to a meal, is that not allowed?"

"It's good that you don't have any other intentions, but if you only bought sesame cakes, I'm afraid people won't eat them."

In his opinion, sesame seed cakes were already a good thing.

This is made of wheat flour and sprinkled with sesame seeds. It tastes fragrant and crispy.

They came from the countryside.

I used to eat cornbread every day at home, and I probably never ate sesame seed cakes before.

"This is good enough. Now who can eat sesame seed cakes?"

Qin Jingru chimed in, "Yesterday at noon they ate roast chicken and roast duck, and they also drank soda."

Xu Damao was taken aback: "Who bought it? Could it be that they bought it themselves?"

"Brother He bought it for them, along with a bunch of meat buns. They were so happy eating them; I could smell the aroma from home."

"Of course I can't compare to her brother-in-law. He Hongyang is so capable; he can get pigs and sheep for the factory, let alone make a few meat buns for his sister-in-law."

"No wonder they ignored you earlier. If you had taken these sesame cakes with you, they probably would have ignored you even more and would have thought you were stingy!"

Xu Damao dislikes it most when women say he is stingy.

However, Qin Huairu has a point.

If it were any other girl, she would definitely jump for joy upon seeing these pancakes.

But they were the younger sisters-in-law of the He family, unlike the other girls.

That's why.

Xu Damao was eager to please the other party.

"What do you propose?"

Seeing that he had taken the bait, Qin Huairu pointed at his sesame seed cake and said, "I can't give you advice for nothing."

Xu Damao knew what she wanted to do.

He took out two sesame seed cakes: "Is this alright now?"

"Give my sister two more, and I'll tell you what to do in a bit."

Xu Damao had no choice but to give Qin Jingru two more.

"You can tell me now."

"You can't just buy sesame cakes, you also have to buy soda and pig's head meat, that way people will take notice."

Soft drinks and pig's head meat?

Xu Damao himself had never drunk soda before.

No one would be willing to spend 50 cents on a bottle of soda.

Now you want to buy it for them to drink?

They are twins, and they always buy two bottles at a time.

Two bottles of soda cost a dollar, and he can only earn a few dollars a month.

Add pig's head meat.

His heart was trembling!

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have boasted that I would treat them to lunch.

There are absolutely no soft drinks available nearby.

"Then let's go buy pig's head meat."

"I didn't even get to eat pig's head meat."

"Since you're treating, you should be generous. It's precisely because you didn't get to eat that letting others eat shows your sincerity."

I had no choice but to go to the stall selling pig's head meat and buy one yuan's worth of pig's head meat.

Qin Huairu looked at the small amount of pig's head meat and shook her head repeatedly: "That's too little, give me another dollar's worth."

"No, this is worth several days' wages for me."

"Weren't you just showing off how much food stamps and money you had, as well as industrial coupons? Why are you being so reluctant to use them when it comes to the real thing?"

Provoked by her, Xu Damao simply bought another dollar's worth of coins.

While he was paying, Qin Huairu snatched two pieces of pig's head meat from the oil paper package.

"Consider this your treat."

After saying that, he grabbed his younger sister and ran away.

Xu Damao said angrily, "Qin Huairu, you just wait, I'll make you pay for my pig's head meat."

The Qin sisters ran home, panting.

Lock the door immediately.

Then he took out a sesame seed cake and a piece of pig's head meat from his pocket.

Fragrant sesame flatbread, and greasy pig's head meat.

Qin Jingru kept swallowing her saliva: "Sister, you're really something. You managed to get a meal with just a few words. Looks like we can have a good meal today."

"It's all because Xu Damao wanted to show off. If he wanted to act like a big shot, he had to pay the price!"

“We’re Brother He’s men. He thinks we’d really help him deal with his sister-in-law? We just want to earn some food for ourselves.”

"Haha, Jingru, you're getting smarter by following me now."

"If you weren't smart, how would you be able to eat sesame cakes and pig's head meat? Do you think Xu Damao might come and bang on your door?"

"No, he just wants to project a great image in front of the Wang sisters, so let's eat without worry."

Just as the two were enjoying their meal.

Xu Damao is back.

He first went to the Jia family's house and tried to knock on their door.

But after thinking about it, I ultimately didn't do it.

If the Wang sisters saw this, wouldn't it make me look petty?

He didn't want to leave them with such a bad impression from the start.

Seeing that there was no one in the yard, he felt a little panicked.

I promised to treat them to dinner, but I can't find a single one of them.

Did they go home?

I tried to knock on the He family's door, but I didn't dare.

She was afraid that He Hongyang would cause trouble for her when he returned.

All I could do was whisper, "I've bought lunch, come out and get it quickly."

"I bought sesame seed cakes and pig's head meat. I originally wanted to buy you some soda, but there are no chicken soup vendors near our courtyard. I'll buy some for you next time."

"The sesame seed cakes and braised pig's head are still warm, come out and eat them while they're hot."

When Qin Huairu heard him say that at home, she covered her mouth and giggled.

"He really knows how to save face. What do you mean by saying there's no soda nearby? It's clearly because he can't afford it."

"Sis, do you think they'll really come out?"

"Do you think people are as greedy as we are, that they can be easily won over by a sesame seed cake and a piece of pork head meat?"

The two people were pressed against the window, constantly peering outside.

No matter how Xu Damao called out, no one came out.

Xu Damao then shouted again, "If you don't come out soon, I'm going to eat first."

"This is pig's head meat. I bought two yuan's worth. Have you never seen pig's head meat in the countryside? I specifically bought the part of the pig's head; it's delicious."

There was still no response.

Wang Lili and Wang Pingping were not in He Hongyang's house at all; they were in the small hut.

They had already heard the noise outside.

They won't go out, and they won't pay any attention to him.

Just like her mother said.

If you don't want to talk to these people in the courtyard, just go back to your room and ignore them.

Wang Lili said, "Is there something wrong with Xu Damao? We just met, why is he inviting us to dinner?"

"They just think their family is well-off and want to show off in front of us."

"No matter how good his family is, can he be as good as my brother-in-law's family? I don't care to eat his sesame cakes and pig's head meat."

"Could it be that they think we're pretty and want to talk to us more?"

"Pah, I don't care about him. His face is so long and he looks so old. If Mom finds out, she'll definitely say, 'Why did you have to choose someone so old?'"

"Haha, looks like we're going to disappoint him this afternoon!"

Xu Damao craned his neck, but couldn't see a single person.

1. His eyes darted around.

Are the two sisters too embarrassed to take his sesame cakes and braised pork head in front of him, even if they crave them?

So he placed the oil paper package next to the sink.

(1) “I’ve left this here for you. Don’t forget to come out and eat.”

(6) As he spoke, he started walking backwards.

(7) In fact, he did not go to the backyard at all, but hid in the corner to observe.

(1) If the Wang sisters came out and took his things, it means that they were embarrassed earlier.

If they don't come out, it means I have absolutely no chance!

(5) Wang Lili and Wang Pingping didn't take this matter seriously at all.

(5) But the other two families in the courtyard were staring intently at the oil paper package.

Qin Jingru was so anxious that she wanted to rush out immediately.

"Look, he left the sesame cakes and pig's head meat outside. If they don't come out to get them, we should hurry out and get them and take them home."

"Anyway, if it's left out there, it belongs to everyone. Whoever takes it keeps it."

Qin Huairu was also somewhat tempted.

She wasn't full at all from those two sesame seed cakes.

That piece of pig's head meat wasn't even enough to fill a tooth gap; instead, it made her even more hungry.

"Wait a little longer. If they really don't come out to get it, then we'll go out."

The two of them practically pressed their faces against the window.

I wish I could break through the window and grab that package!

Yi Zhonghai and an older woman from the Yi family also saw the package.

They all heard what Xu Damao just said.

"Old Yi, there's pork head meat inside! I'm so worried! Why aren't the Wang sisters coming out to get it? Why don't we take it home?"

"Anyway, Xu Damao doesn't know, and there's no one outside right now. If we take it home, no one will notice."

Yi Zhonghai was so hungry he was practically drooling.
