Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

I'm still working now, so let's wait until I return to Siheyuan before talking about it.

Chen Xu was not too anxious and felt that this marriage was actually quite good.

Although Yu Shui was a few years older than Chen Dan, he couldn't say much because his cousin was willing.

evening.

Lin Chan invited Yu Shui to his home for dinner. Yu Shui was a little surprised, but still did not refuse.

Although she didn't know why Lin Chan suddenly invited her, Lin Chan had always been a loner in the courtyard. She and the Chen family only interacted occasionally. After all, she didn't fit in in the courtyard.

Chen Xu originally planned to call Chen Dan, but then he thought it would be better to test Yu Shui's attitude first.

As for He Daqing and Sha Zhu, he ignored them directly. Didn't they break off their relationship? Naturally, he couldn't manage his daughter's affairs openly. If Yu Shui really wanted to, it wouldn't be too late to talk about it.

At dinner time.

Yu Shui looked at the three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes on the table, feeling a little uneasy.

She felt a little flattered.

Especially since Chen Xu helped her pick up food, Yu Shui felt a little nervous.

It was as if she was being judged. She had no appetite for the delicious food in front of her that she usually loved so much.

"Yushui, don't you plan to find a boyfriend?"

Finally, Chen Xu spoke. Yu Shui was a little surprised why Chen Xu said that. After all, everyone in the courtyard knew about her situation, and she had grown from an ignorant girl to a woman in her thirties, and she had already let go of many things.

Now Chen Xu suddenly brought it up, but she was caught off guard.

"My...my brother's situation."

Chen Xu sighed as he looked at Yu Shui, whose face looked a little gloomy.

You say that people nowadays are precocious, and they are indeed precocious, but they are truly exposed to less information than people in later generations.

Chen Dan is 26 years old and his face turns red like a monkey's butt when he talks about girls.

Yu Shui is 32 years old, but she still stutters when talking about her boyfriend, which is very different from her usual self.

"Okay, I'll be frank. I'm going to be a matchmaker for my cousin. You must know Chen Dan, from the technical department."

"what?"

Yu Shui looked incredulous.

"But, I seem to be older than him, and my brother..."

"It's okay. Xiaochan is older than me. This doesn't affect anything. As for your brother, he won't affect you and Chen Dan."

Yu Shui was stunned for a long time. Lin Chan beside her picked up some food for her and helped her.

"I heard from my brother-in-law that he has liked you for several years. Have you never noticed any clues?"

Yu Shui's face was instantly flushed. She was not young anymore, but she had never had a boyfriend before. What's more, she was in the Propaganda Department of the steel rolling mill, while Chen Dan was in the Technical Department, and the two had basically no intersection.

Yu Shui knew that Chen Dan was a rising star in the technical department of the steel rolling mill, and that he was Chen Xu's cousin, but she never thought that he would be interested in her.

"You don't have to rush to agree. If you have the same intention, I'll ask my cousin to come over for dinner that day, and you two can talk about it. How about that?"

"Um..."

Yu Shui agreed without much thought, as she really couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

When the girls from the Propaganda Department talked about the young people in the steel rolling mill, Chen Dan was often mentioned. But Yu Shui was very self-aware and had never thought about this. Now she even felt a little dreamy.

What did Chen Dan see in her?

In fact, Chen Xu didn't understand why Chen Dan liked Yu Shui. With his current conditions, it would be no problem for him to find someone younger and prettier.

But love is not logical, it is more about liking each other's appearance. Maybe Chen Dan just likes Yu Shui's type, God knows.

Isn't that why Chen Xu fell in love with Lin Chan at first sight? At that time, he thought that he would be struck by lightning if he didn't marry a girl like this.

Little Moon, who had been silent, opened her eyes wide and finally interrupted.

"Dad, do I have to call Rainwater Auntie?"

Yu Shui's face, which was already a little red, turned red all the way to her ears at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was almost smoking.

Had dinner at Chen Xu's house.

When Yushui went back, he was still full of worries, both anticipation and worry, and more of confusion.

She remembered that Yu Haitang had pursued Chen Dan, but was ignored by him.

As a result, Yu Haitang even complained to her that the two brothers of the Chen family were stubborn and unyielding.

Now, I seem to be with Chen Dan...

Yu Shui was not worried about Yu Haitang, after all, Yu Haitang had already been married. She just thought it was quite magical.

Back in his own little house, Yu Shui lay on his small bed and carefully recalled Chen Dan. He didn't have much impression of him, only remembered that he was a technician. It was said that he and a technician named Hu were the people most likely to become engineers in the steel mill.

Yu Shui, who always slept well, suffered from insomnia for the first time.

Chen Dan didn't sleep the whole night.

He had even thought of what to name his future child, but soon he thought of something more important.

I looked at the house allocated to me by the steel mill. It's too small. It's only one room. I have to change...

Chen Dan's house is far from the Hongxing Courtyard, but close to the steel rolling mill, so it is usually quite convenient, but now it is not the case when it comes to discussing marriage.

Chen Dan planned to ask his cousin for help. He had saved a lot of money over the years and could buy a house or rent a bigger one.

The next day, Chen Dan excitedly went to Chen Xu to talk about the house, and Chen Xu had a strange look on his face.

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if they disagree? You're in such a hurry to get the house now!"

"Ah, Comrade He Yushui refused?"

Chen Dan, who had been so excited just now, instantly became listless, like an eggplant hit by frost.

The corners of Chen Xu's mouth twitched twice.

"Okay, stop being such a jerk. I'll arrange for you to meet Yu Shui this Sunday. It's up to you."

"Really?"

Looking at his cousin who was instantly revived with full health, Chen Xu could only sigh how great it was to be young.

"Really. I'll keep an eye on the house."

"Ah."

Chen Dan did not say thank you, and the two brothers did not need to be so polite. It would be a bit awkward to say thank you to family members.

the other side.

Yu Shui secretly found He Daqing.

"Dad, I'm going on a blind date on Sunday?"

"Really?"

He Daqing was surprised. The sun was rising from the west. In fact, there were people who introduced potential partners to Yu Shui before, but those people were really hard to describe.

And then naturally nothing happened. As time went on, the rain became an old maid and gradually no one came to visit anymore.

He Daqing thought about it and remembered that the last time someone introduced a date to Yu Shui was five or six years ago. The other person was a 40-year-old man with a formal job, a deceased wife and three children.

Yu Shui actually really wanted to get married at that time, but in the end, after seeing the three kids of the other party making a fuss at home, she gave up.

"Yes, he is Chen Xu's cousin."

"Chen Dan from the technical department?"

He Daqing naturally knew everything about the relationship with the steel rolling mill. As soon as Yu Shui mentioned it, he knew who it was?

"There is such a good thing? How can he be interested in it... Uh, no, Yu Shui, that's not what I meant. I mean, you are not young anymore, and you will get married sooner or later..."

There were a few black lines on Yu Shui's forehead, and he suddenly wanted to hit someone.

Seeing his daughter walk away angrily, He Daqing wanted to slap himself, saying, "You're so quick to speak..."

Even if this is the truth, you can't say no in front of your daughter.
