Chapter 430 It’s Better to Teach a Man to Fish than to Teach Him to Fish (Please Vote!!!)

Knowing that Xu Hongdou just asked for a different screen, Xie Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief, and his impression of Xu Hongdou also improved a lot.

After the matter was resolved, Xu Hongdou asked to go around, but Qin Hao stopped her.

"There's no bank here. Your phone broke. What should you do if you want to buy something? Here, take it with you in case of emergency."

Xu Hongdou hesitated for a moment and accepted the five hundred yuan in cash handed over by Qin Hao.

"Thanks, I'll pay you back later."

After Xu Hongdou left, Xie Zhiyao patted Qin Hao on the shoulder and said jokingly: "Why haven't I seen you so considerate before? Do you like her?"

"That's right, who doesn't like beautiful girls, don't you think so?" Qin Hao didn't accept his trick.

Grandma Xie nodded after hearing this: "Yes, Xiao Qin still thinks clearly, unlike some people who are in their thirties and don't even have a partner. Xiao Qin, I support you and go for it boldly."

Qin Hao was happy, this old lady was interesting.

Just when Qin Hao was about to go back, he was pulled back by Xie Zhiyao: "Don't leave yet. Xia Xia came to me yesterday and told me that she wanted to make a short video. She also said it was your idea. Is that true?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Qin Hao asked.

Xie Zhiyao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My online store business is busy enough. You will really find something for me to do."

Qin Hao patted him on the shoulder: "You're stupid, this video editing is not difficult. Find someone to teach him. There are also tutorials on the Internet. Once he learns it, he can do it himself."

"And haven't you always wanted the people in the village to live and work in peace and contentment without going to big cities? If Xia Xia starts a wood carving online store, it can create employment and provide heirs to the intangible cultural heritage, why not do it? ?”

"You, don't always think that you can do everything by yourself. The people in this village are not just newborn babies that you need to feed one by one. You have to let them learn to find food by themselves, so that they will not be so tired. , Don’t you understand that it’s better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish?”

Xie Zhiyao's eyes lit up: "Well, that makes sense, but is this Xia Xia okay?"

"Look, you are looking down on others. According to my observation, Xia Xia is a child who can endure hardships and is not slow to learn. If you give him some time, you might get unexpected gains."

After leaving Xie Zhiyao's house, Qin Hao returned to the windy courtyard. After washing the dishes, Damai had gone back to his room to catch up on his sleep. Before Qin Hao could go there for long, Master Ma had brought back a pile of wood, including carpenter's tools. I brought them all back and said that Xie Xiaoxia helped prepare them.

"My hands and feet are quite agile."

"Hehe, that's right."

With Mr. Ma's help, Qin Hao's progress was faster than yesterday, and he finished it in almost an hour.

Seeing Qin Hao's process of building a rocking chair with his own eyes, Mr. Ma was shocked again. He gave a thumbs up and praised: "Xiao Qin, there is nothing to say about your craftsmanship. It would be an understatement to say that you are a professional carpenter. "

"Okay, don't just pick nice things to say, come and help with the waxing."

The two finished waxing the rocking chair. Mr. Ma looked at his rocking chair with satisfaction and suddenly felt that the futon was no longer fragrant. He meditated and played a ball. It was still comfortable, but it was a pity that he could not sit on it until tomorrow.

"Come on, Master Qin, thank you for your hard work. I'll make you a pot of good tea to reward your hard work."

Well, the masters were all called. Qin Hao secretly laughed, went to the small kitchen to wash his hands, and came back to kill time with Mr. Ma by chatting and spanking.

Mr. Ma also opened up the conversation and talked about his original experience. This person is also a strange person. He stepped on the Internet trend and became an industry unicorn. Unfortunately, his ambitions became more and more popular later. No matter what you do, the result will be self-evident. Not only will you lose all the money you made before, but you will also lose your house in the capital.

"You don't know that when I became successful, my parents were also famous in my hometown. But then people heard that I was in trouble, and they said everything, so I simply didn't go back to save my relatives and neighbors from talking about it. Nonsense." Mr. Ma shook his head and sighed.

There are still a lot of common people in this world, but if others live a better life than you, they will compliment you on the surface, but secretly wish you were dead. When you are down and out, you will say, look at that family, how awesome they used to be. Bull, are you defeated now? Deserve it!

"I still have to advise the elderly to calm down. For people like this who hate others and hate themselves, let them say what they like. If people always live in other people's opinions, how tiring it would be." Qin Hao advised. road.

Mr. Ma smiled bitterly: "I can take it easy, but how can my parents be relieved when they are old? Alas, let's not mention it."

Seeing this, Qin Hao stopped talking and drank tea quietly, rocking the recliner, blowing the wind, and looking at the clouds rolling in the sky, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Unknowingly, I fell asleep on the recliner. When I opened my eyes again, I found that the sky had darkened. I took out my phone and looked at the time. It was already half past six. Mr. Ma was also sleeping soundly on the floor next to him. of,

Wow, time flies so fast. Qin Hao took out the leftover lunch dishes from the refrigerator and simply made four dishes and one soup.

Mr. Ma woke up smelling the aroma of the food. Maybe he got excited all of a sudden, but he was still in a daze.

"Master Ma, go wash your face and ask Damai to come down for dinner."

"Ah, oh." After washing his face, Mr. Ma finally woke up and went to the second floor. After a while, he woke up Damai, who was also in a state of sleep.

The three of them sat down and were about to start, when Damai suddenly thought: "By the way, should we call Xu Hongdou?"

Qin Hao shook his head: "No need to wait, her phone is broken, and by this time, she should have eaten."

Master Ma couldn't wait any longer, so he picked up the bowl and started to cook it.

Halfway through eating, Damai suddenly put down his chopsticks and said with a serious face: "Well, I'll buy the vegetables for tomorrow."

Mr. Ma was happy: "Hey, it's just a little dish, how much can it cost?"

Qin Hao stopped Mr. Ma and said, "Let's do this. Each of you will buy vegetables for the day, and I'll take care of the other seasonings. If Xu Hongdou joins us for dinner in the future, the same rules apply."

Damai was obviously relieved when he heard this and nodded seriously: "Well, that's it. In addition, Brother Hao is responsible for cooking and we are responsible for washing the dishes, one person per day."

Although Lao Ma didn't think it was necessary to make such a clear distinction, Damai and Qin Hao both said so, so he had no objection.

Perhaps because he finally said what he was thinking, or because he didn’t have to worry about taking advantage of others, Damai’s cooking speed was obviously improved. In a short time, he cooked two bowls of rice and ate a lot of vegetables. After the table was cleared, Damai leaned directly on the chair, caressing his stomach and burping from time to time.

Just when Mr. Ma was about to sell his after-dinner tea, Xu Hongdou returned to Youfeng Xiaoyuan and saw Damai and Mr. Ma sitting at the kitchen table looking at him, and he quickly understood.

"I've already eaten, you don't have to worry about me."

Damai was a little embarrassed: "We just finished eating"

Xu Hongdou was amused by Damai's honesty: "I have actually eaten it. I ate it at the Gesanghua Restaurant. It tasted pretty good."

"Oh." Damai breathed a sigh of relief this time.

While they were talking, Nana also came back from get off work. After seeing Xu Hongdou, the two introduced themselves to each other, and Nana lay down on Qin Hao's recliner casually.

"Sister Nana, have you eaten? How about I give you a bowl of noodles?" Damai and Nana got to know each other quite well. He was the first person in the courtyard who allowed her to overcome her social fear and be able to communicate normally. Naturally, A little more close.

Nana sat on the recliner, too comfortable to move. She raised her hand and waved: "No, I ate before I came back."

"Oh, then I'm going to wash the dishes." Damai started to clear the table.

At this time, Mr. Ma began to promote his tea again.

"It's rare that there are so many people in the courtyard today. How about we have a tea party around the fire?"

Nana complained: "It's already this late, and I'm still drinking tea. What should I do if I can't sleep at night?"

Qin Hao was happy. Nana was indeed the small courtyard's last-ditch expert. She originally specialized in attacking Hu Youyu, but now Master Ma has become the second victim.

But idleness is idleness. Everyone had eaten and it was still early. Before it was time to go to bed, the small stove was set up. There was only no tea in the tea party around the stove, and everyone drank boiled water.

Qin Hao looked at Xu Hongdou. People say beauty is seen under the lamp. The weak firelight shone on Xu Hongdou's fair skin, as if it was covered with a layer of powder. Her long, flowing black hair was draped on one side, and she supported her chin with one hand. , a delicate oval face, indescribably elegant.

As if aware of Qin Hao's gaze, Xu Hongdou glanced over subconsciously, and the two met each other's eyes.

Nana was the first to notice the strangeness between the two of them, and lightly touched Damai beside her with her elbow. Damai looked at Nana with a blank expression, and then followed her gaze.

Then he asked blankly: "Sister Nana, why are you pushing me?"

Nana almost collapsed. Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou were also awakened. In order to ease the embarrassment, Qin Hao asked in a pretentious manner.

"Um, Xu Hongdou, did you take your phone to get it repaired?"

Xu Hongdou flipped her hair, shook her head and said, "No, I walked around the village in the afternoon. There are no mobile phone repair shops here. You have to go to the ancient city to find one."

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the door of the courtyard.

"Hey, everyone is here? Just in time, I bought a barbecue, let's try it together."

No need to ask, there was no one else but Hu Youyu who was so familiar to him. Qin Hao turned around and saw that it was indeed him, carrying a guitar and dressed like a wandering singer.

Nana introduced her again. When Hu Youyu saw Xu Hongdou, he shook hands enthusiastically and wanted to add Xu Hongdou's WeChat message.

As a result, Xu Hongdou said: "I'm sorry, my phone was broken and I haven't had time to repair it yet."

"Then let's add WeChat." Hu Youyu walked up to Qin Hao awkwardly.

Qin Hao secretly laughed. It stands to reason that Hu Youyu is a bit handsome, and he is a resident singer. He should have a good relationship with women. But as it turns out, this woman has always been single. He met the woman in a bar. He and When it comes to real relationships, the woman I met outside felt that he was unreliable. In the end, he was captured by a sister whose daughter was in college.

After the two added WeChat, Hu Youyu began to promote his barbecue, but unfortunately only Nana bought it. Both Ma Ye and Damai said they were very full just now.

Damai couldn't help but sell Qin Hao's craftsmanship to Nana: "Sister Nana, we are going to cook together, why don't we count you in as well? Everyone buys vegetables for a day and is responsible for washing the dishes for a day. Brother Hao is responsible for cooking. Rice, the food he cooks is delicious."

"I want to, but we can't live without people in the tavern." Nana said helplessly.

Damai gritted his teeth and said, "How about, once it's done, I can deliver it to you in a lunch box?"

"Don't you hibernate during the day?" Nana teased.

But Damai calculated on his fingers seriously: "I will try to finish the manuscript before four o'clock in the morning, and then sleep until twelve o'clock at noon. After eating, I can still write a paragraph."

"Okay, okay, I'm just teasing you, but it seems that Lao Qin's craftsmanship is good. He actually made Damai change his work and rest time." Nana stopped Damai with a smile.

Damai returned to his state of fear and ran back to his room in a hurry.

Hu Youyu couldn't help complaining: "Look at you, you're so embarrassed when you talk about Damai."

"No way, Damai was just rushing to finish the manuscript." Nana rolled her eyes at him and defended herself.

As a result, the next second, Hu Youyu's phone received a WeChat message.

Damai: I’m going to code, it’s okay, no, if you have anything to do, don’t knock on the door, let alone send a WeChat message.

"Okay, you win." Hu Youyu gave a thumbs up in frustration.

Nana suddenly said to Xu Hongdou: "They cook together, Xu Hongdou can join."

Xu Hongdou waved her hands repeatedly: "No, my work and rest time are not regular, and I don't want to be too regular."

She came here just to experience the leisurely days of sleeping until she wakes up naturally. Although Qin Hao's cooking skills are indeed excellent, she has no intention of disrupting her plan just for this little appetite.

Qin Hao didn't try to persuade him. He yawned, got up and went back to his room to rest. The others also went back to their rooms one after another. Only Hu Youyu, a night owl, was left. It was rare that he didn't have to go to a bar today, which made him even more boring.

After Xu Hongdou returned to the room, he printed out the photos he took during the day and pasted them on a wooden board. The board was divided into three sections and marked on them.

“Things I want to see”, “Things I want to eat”, “Things I want to play”

After pasting the photos, Xu Hongdou simply washed up and got into bed, but her mood was extremely low. When she thought about never seeing Chen Nanxing again, she couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart.

"Woo~~~"

After crying bitterly, Xu Hongdou's mood calmed down. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she sat up from the bed.

She remembered that the name Qin Hao sounded familiar because she heard it from Chen Nanxing.

"So, is he the one Nan Xing said he wanted to confess to?"

Xu Hongdou subconsciously took out his phone to verify his idea, but then he remembered that the phone was broken and could not be opened at all.

"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

"But it doesn't matter if I have the same name and surname, why do I think I've seen the face somewhere?"

"Well, I'll go to the ancient city to repair my mobile phone early tomorrow morning!"
