Siheyuan, don't mess with me

"I got it!" Xu Damao rubbed his red ears and ran away!

Chapter 263 Chen Xueru, you are bound to suffer this loss!

Xu Fugui brought Wang Cuihua and his daughter Xu Yuling over early because they knew Xu Damao was a lazy guy and the house must not be cleaned up, so they came early to help clean it up!

After greeting a few old residents and smoking a few cigarettes, I pushed open the door of my own house. The west wing was converted from two rooms into three rooms, with a living room in the middle, a kitchen on the left, and a bedroom on the right!

When I came in, I saw that the living room was very clean. The floor was swept and the table was mopped! There was just a little dust in the corners. It was great that Xu Damao could clean it up like this! Wang Cuihua was very happy that her son had grown up and knew how to be clean!

But when Wang Cuihua lifted the bedroom curtain, she immediately got angry. The bed was not made up, the smelly socks and dirty clothes were all stuffed under the bed, the floor was full of cigarette butts, and there were a few straw paper balls in the corner! Wang Cuihua was furious. This son was so sloppy, a typical example of a cow's dung balls with shiny outer skin! What if the girl lifted the curtain and took a look?

Xu Fugui glanced behind her and pulled Xu Yuling who was about to go forward, "Girl, go to the kitchen and take a look!" Then he poked Wang Cuihua, "Don't just stand there, hurry up! It's getting late, hurry up!"

Wang Cuihua suppressed her anger and started to go into the room to tidy up. She hadn't started yet. "Dad, Mom, come and have a look!" Xu Yuling exclaimed.

When the old couple walked into the kitchen, they saw that Xu Damao was really talented. All the dishes and chopsticks were piled in a big basin. The cooking pot was not cleaned. The bottom of the pot was covered with green hair from the vegetable residue left at some point. Even Xu Fugui, who was the most supportive of his son, was furious. Fortunately, he came here. If the girl saw it, would the marriage still work?

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and move out to wash!"

"Oh!" Xu Yuling agreed reluctantly. At the age of sixteen, it was normal for her to do these housework. It was just that the pots and pans made by Xu Damao were a bit too dirty and disgusting. Fortunately, it was winter now. If it was summer, no one would be allowed to enter the kitchen!

Old Xu helped Xu Yuling move the dishes to the middle courtyard and washed them under the tap. Then he went back to help his wife clean up Xu Damao's dirty clothes, and then hurriedly opened the window for ventilation! In winter, the old-fashioned wooden windows are covered with a layer of paper, which is airtight and can also prevent wind and sand! Now I don't care about these things, I'll quickly get rid of the smell in this room!

After rushing to clean up the room, I finally had time to wash the dirty clothes. I soaked them in water and threw them in the middle yard! I quickly cleaned up the kitchen. If I had to invite people to dinner, would I still be able to use the kitchen?

Xu Yuling stood by the sink and scrubbed for more than an hour. She finally scrubbed the pot out of her hands. Her waist was sore. Then she saw Xu Damao staggering in with a cigarette in his mouth. "Brother, how can you be so dirty!" Xu Yuling shook her red, frozen hands.

"How do you talk like that?" Xu Damao said dissatisfiedly.

"Look!" Xu Yuling pointed to a large basin at her feet, "Brother, my hands are almost frozen and swollen, what do you think I should do?"

"Here! Go buy a bottle of clam oil!" Xu Damao took out five dollars and slapped it on Xu Yuling's hand. "Thank you! Brother!"

"Xu Damao, this time you've done something humane and shown love for your sister!" He Yuzhu, who was cleaning the fish nearby, said,

"You should take good care of your own sister. Who would starve their sister like some people?"

"Xu Damao, you bastard, I think you're itching for trouble, right? If I hadn't seen you go on a blind date today, I would have loosened your bones!" He Yuzhu shouted. It's not good to insult someone without exposing his shortcomings, but Xu Damao was deliberately stabbing him in the heart!

"Pa!" He Yuzhu was slapped on the back of the head. "Why don't you let others talk about what you did?" He Daqing's voice came from behind.

"Dad, don't I know I was wrong? Don't I know I should change? But this grandson Xu Damao always exposes my past!" He Yuzhu said aggrievedly.

"Who told you to do something wrong? If you were half as good as Damao, you wouldn't have let Yu Shui become so thin!"

"Uncle He, you compliment me!"

"You kid, you only have one mouth. Be serious about your blind date today!"

"Got it, Uncle He,"

"Ask your dad to come over for a drink at noon. We haven't seen each other for a long time!"

"Okay, Uncle He, I'll tell you when I get home!" Xu Damao picked up a bowl of dishes and chopsticks, and Xu Yuling carried two pots and walked to the backyard! Only He Yuzhu felt a little resentful. He didn't stab Xu Damao, but was scolded by his father instead! Standing on the porch, Yu Li said with a smile, "You deserve it. Who told you to be so talkative and add fuel to the fire? Now you're burning yourself!"

Xu Damao didn't dare to cut his hair, but shaved his face, trimmed his beard, put on a woolen Zhongshan suit, and polished his leather shoes. He looked like a lively young man! Wang Cuihua didn't have time to teach Xu Damao a lesson, so she could only quietly make a note in her heart that if the blind date was successful today, she would forgive him. If it didn't work out, Xu Damao should prepare to face the power of the rolling pin! Xu Damao had to marry a wife, and look at what kind of life he is living now, it's really worrying!

The appointment was for ten o'clock. At nine-fifty, the matchmaker came over with a girl. The family standing at the door hurried over to greet them. Xu Damao's eyes were fixed on the girl!

The girl was a neat person, which could be seen from her clothes. Also, if she could be a salesperson, she couldn't be sloppy. She was 1.6 meters tall, slightly plump, and her appearance was above the passing line. She was not outstanding, but not ugly either! This made Xu Damao a little disappointed. In addition, according to Xu Damao's experience, the child would have some problems with breastfeeding in the future, but he couldn't find any other problems!

The matchmaker led them into the house. There were melon seeds, peanuts, candies and cakes on the table. Xu Yuling helped pour tea. The matchmaker introduced them, "Li Yuhua, a salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative. She is nineteen years old this year!"

Wang Cuihua continued, "This is my son Xu Damao, he's 21 years old this year, and he's a projectionist at the Red Star Steel Mill!"

"Xiao Li, you and Damao should chat first, we'll go out and talk about something!"

This is a routine operation, leaving the two young people to communicate freely. If they like each other and can talk, then the matter is half successful. As long as there is no problem in talking about marriage, the matter is basically done! It is rare to regret an engagement these days. This is a matter of reputation. Most people dare not do this. It is not like now, at the wedding, you can have a scene on the big screen!

Xu Damao was not afraid of the stage. Li Yuhua was a salesperson and was also good at speaking. "Eat some melon seeds!" Xu Damao spoke first.

"Do all four of your family live here?"

"No, I live alone. My dad and his family live in the old house!"

"What do you sell in the supply and marketing cooperative?"

“I’m selling cigarettes and alcohol!”

"Why haven't I seen you before? I often go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cigarettes and alcohol!"

"I just transferred here,"

"That's what I thought! Wouldn't it be convenient to buy cigarettes and alcohol in the future?"

"Hmm!" Li Yuhua recognized Xu Damao's words. Although she was a generous girl, she was still shy on this issue. If she didn't mention the blind date here, the scene in the Central Courtyard would be even more lively!

The visit of He Daqing's younger brother was a big event for the He family. Chen Dayong and Chen Zhiguo also came early. Of course, Chen Xueru and her three sisters Chen Xiaoli also came. Together with He Yushui and Yu Li, a group of women gathered together and sat down under the corridor of the He family, eating melon seeds and chatting. They came early just to see what Xu Damao's blind date looked like!

He Daqing and Chen Dayong were smoking in the yard. After Yu Li became pregnant, the He family had a new rule: smoking was not allowed in the room and everyone had to go outside because Chen Zhiguo said that smoking was bad for the baby!

Chen Zhiguo stood at the kitchen door, chatting with He Yuzhu who was working hard.

"Xu Damao's grandson is looking for a blind date today. I took a look and this girl is pretty good, but it's a pity that she's not a good match for Xu Damao!"

"What you said is true. The girl is good, but what's wrong with Brother Damao?"

"This grandson has done nothing good in the countryside! He's always taking bribes and even has an affair with the young widow!"

"Brother Damao, it's not easy to travel back and forth. It's only natural for the villagers to thank him and give him some gifts. You go out to help, and they don't give you money, but they give you cigarettes and alcohol. Why don't you say anything?"

"How can it be the same? That's my old rule! I can't help you for free!" He Yuzhu said proudly.

"You chefs are allowed to have rules, but people who show movies are not allowed to have rules. Is it easy to drag such heavy equipment for dozens of miles? Do you have the strength to ride a bike without eating and drinking well? Besides, showing movies is a job that requires staying up all night. How can you survive without a little oil in your stomach? You work so hard, so what if the fellow villagers give you some thanks? Let's talk about you, if someone gives you some local specialties, can you be generous enough to refuse them?" Chen Zhiguo did not indulge him and directly blocked him back.

"Okay, you are right, I can't argue with you!"

"Also, you and Xu Damao have been friends since childhood, so it's okay for you to bicker with each other from time to time. But don't talk about things like the young widow that don't exist! Do you have any evidence? Why are you talking about others behind their backs?"

"No, that's not what I said. Isn't that what everyone is saying?"

"Don't say anything without evidence. If Xu Damao said you went to the secret door, what would you think?"

"If he dares to say that, I'll chop him up!" He Yuzhu waved the kitchen knife in his hand and said fiercely,

"Then let's not get married. You can talk about him, but you can't let others talk about you! That doesn't make sense!"

He Yuzhu was scolded by Chen Zhiguo, and turned around depressed to concentrate on cooking, not wanting to talk nonsense anymore! At 10:10, Cai Quanwu walked into the yard with a gift, followed by Xu Huizhen, who was holding two small wine jars in her hands!

"Brother, I'm here!"

"Quanwu, you're here. Let me introduce you. This is Chen Zhiguo's father, Chen Dayong! This is my brother Cai Quanwu, and this is the owner of the tavern, Xu Huizhen!"

When they saw Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen coming, everyone in the He family gathered around them, and He Daqing started introducing them!

"Brother He, these are two jars of twenty-year-old Niulanshan. This is my first visit, so I brought some old wine. Please don't despise me!"

"Boss Xu, this is too valuable!"

"I'll use two jars of wine to congratulate you brothers on your reunion!"

"Xu Huizhen, you are taking advantage of me!" Chen Xueru said dissatisfiedly.

"How did I take advantage of you?" Xu Huizhen asked in confusion.

"I call him Uncle He and you call him Big Brother He. You are taking advantage of me, right? Do you want me to call you Auntie or Auntie?"

Chen Zhiguo, who was standing behind Chen Xueru, rubbed his nose and thought, Chen Xueru, you're doomed to fail. If you really want to call her aunt, you'll never be able to be on the same level in your life!

Chapter 264 Liu Haizhong’s family’s housing problem!

Xu Damao is indeed the chosen friend of women. After a round of magic potion, Li Yuhua was confused by him. She foolishly recognized him and stood up to go to the kitchen to cook for him! Xu Damao hurriedly pulled her back. This was not his woman outside. He could use her at will without feeling sorry. He also wanted to have a real relationship, not some kind of transaction!

"Let's go out and eat! Let's eat roast duck!"

"But my uncle and aunt are all outside, how are they going to eat?" Li Yuhua hesitated. Although it was a blind date today and they were not yet a family, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on her future parents-in-law!

"It's okay. Someone from the Central Court invited my dad to dinner today. Don't worry about them!"

Xu Damao pulled Li Yuhua out the door, "Dad, Mom, I'm taking Yuhua out for dinner!"

Seeing that Xu Damao had already held her hand, Wang Cuihua had no reason to disagree, "Go ahead! Go ahead, do you have enough money?"

"I have it on me!" Xu Damao pushed his bicycle and took Li Yuhua away. As for the matchmaker, Wang Cuihua would naturally arrange it! He didn't need to worry about it!

At noon, the He family set up three tables. He Daqing called Chen Zhiguo and everyone else over. Grandpa, Chen Dayong, Chen Dahu, Xu Fugui, Cai Quanwu, He Daqing, He Yuzhu, Chen Zhiguo, and Liu Haizhong sat at one table, and the rest of the women and children sat at two tables!

Liu Haizhong was the name He Daqing gave to Xu Fugui when he was still a kid. Now Liu Haizhong is obviously different from before. His big belly is gone and he doesn't mind other people's business every day. He just reads books and learns to read when he gets home. He has completely changed. If he was still the same as before, He Daqing would ignore him!

Didn’t He Daqing see that Yan Bugui had been wandering near the hanging flower gate in the central courtyard for a long time? He pretended not to see him. He was a vulgar person and didn’t want to pay attention to him!

It was a banquet and everyone was satisfied with the drinks. Liu Haizhong and Xu Fugui went home respectively, Cai Quanwu stayed to drink tea and reminisce about the past, and Xu Huizhen was led by Chen Xueru back to the Chen family courtyard. It must be said that the heroine has aura and good words and conversation. Grandpa and grandmother, father and mother all like her!

"Zhiguo, thank you for this time! If it weren't for you, it would be difficult for me to run this tavern!"

"It's just a piece of cake. My uncle has the channels. Besides, the amount used in your tavern is not like that of a steel mill!"

"Huizhen, now that you're here, who's going to take care of Jingli?"

"I asked my neighbor Aunt Wu to help me keep an eye on it."

"Why don't you bring her here? I just like to take care of the child quietly. Why don't you let her be my daughter?"

"Okay! Bring it here!"

"What? You adopted her as your goddaughter, but you don't give her a gift?" Xu Huizhen said with a smile.

Chen Zhiguo really didn’t know whether Xu Huizhen had a daughter. After all, he had not watched the entire series, but only watched short videos. He definitely couldn’t ask now, and could only wait until tonight to ask Chen Xueru!

"Then I'll treat you next week. Let's set up a table and have a formal dinner!" Chen Xueru said seriously.

"Are you serious?" Xu Huizhen said in surprise.

"Of course! I'm not kidding!"

At this time, at Liu Haizhong's home, Liu Haizhong had drunk some wine at noon and was in a very happy mood. He was drinking tea from a large teacup, "Lao Liu, Xu Damao across the street is having a blind date today. Should our eldest son hurry up and find a matchmaker?"

"We should hurry up, we are almost the same age, Zhuzi will be a father soon!" Liu Haizhong nodded.

"Our Guangqi is a technical secondary school student. Go ask Guangqi if he has any requirements. Don't find an uneducated person. He won't like him!"

The second aunt went to her son's room, and soon, Liu Guangqi came out, "Dad, there's no need to find a matchmaker!"

"Oh! Why, do you have any favorites?"
