Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Xu Damao was a little nervous, but he still managed a smile: "Xiao'e, I heard that you are looking for a job recently, what are your plans?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded: "Yes, I want to find a better opportunity, but I haven't decided where to go yet."

Xu Damao quickly replied: "That's great. We have a lot of positions in our factory. I can help you find out if there is a suitable one."

Lou Xiao'e smiled, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you, Damao, but I still want to look around and find the job that suits me best."

He Yuzhu stood aside and observed the conversation between the two. He could see Xu Damao's nervousness and effort, and could also feel Lou Xiaoe's politeness and distance. Xu Damao was obviously not prepared for how to further develop the topic, and the scene was a little awkward for a while.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu coughed lightly and broke the silence: "Xiao'e, Xu Damao actually wants to invite you to dinner and talk about your plans."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's do it in the evening. I also have something to talk to you about."

When Xu Damao heard this, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, and he nodded quickly: "Okay, see you tonight!"

In the evening, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao waited for Lou Xiao'e in a small restaurant. Xu Damao was so nervous that he kept looking at his watch, while He Yuzhu tried to stay calm. He knew in his heart that this was not only an opportunity for Xu Damao to pursue Lou Xiao'e, but also a moment for him to temporarily get rid of his recent troubles.

Soon, Lou Xiao'e showed up on time, and the three of them found a quiet corner to sit down and started chatting about their work and life. He Yuzhu tried to relax himself, because he knew that the protagonists today were Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e, and he was just a companion and coordinator.

Xu Damao tried hard to find a topic to talk about the factory and his plans for the future. Although he was nervous, he spoke very seriously, and Lou Xiaoe also listened very seriously, nodding in response from time to time. He Yuzhu watched silently from the side, and was worried about Xu Damao, but also felt a little relieved. Seeing his friend working hard to pursue happiness, he was also somewhat encouraged.

"Xiao'e, what are your plans for the future?" Xu Damao asked cautiously.

Lou Xiao'e thought for a moment and said softly, "I hope to find a job I like and live a stable life. I also hope to find someone who treats me sincerely."

This made Xu Damao's eyes flash with expectation. He was about to say something when He Yuzhu suddenly took over the topic: "Xiao'e, Damao is a good man. He really likes you. I hope you can give him a chance."

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Thank you, Yuzhu. I will seriously consider it."

After dinner, the three of them walked home together, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Xu Damao's tension gradually subsided. He knew that his efforts tonight were not in vain, and he was extremely grateful for He Yuzhu's help.

Back at the courtyard, He Yuzhu said goodbye to Xu Damao and walked back to his room alone. He lay on the bed, thinking about what happened tonight, and felt a little warm and satisfied. Although his feelings were still unresolved, he was filled with new strength when he saw his friend's efforts and hope.

The efforts that He Yuzhu and Xu Damao made for Lou Xiao'e gave He Yuzhu some new perspectives and strength. He began to rethink his life and decided to do more to improve his living conditions. One day, he passed by the market and saw fresh enoki mushrooms on the stall. He Yuzhu wanted to
