The old man looked at Sha Zhu with a puzzled look. A few days ago, when he went to the city to chat with Sha Zhu, he took the initiative to introduce him to a girl, but he hesitated.

Why is he now rushing to ask him for help in finding a date? I'm confused for a moment. What's wrong with this guy?

"Zhu Zi, last time when we were drinking at your house, you said you wanted to ask the third uncle in your courtyard to introduce you to a date. Why did you change your mind so quickly?"

One word can cause a thousand ripples. After hearing the old man's words, Sha Zhu put away his smile and recounted what the third uncle said and did on the day he introduced the girl to him.

Finally, he concluded with a sad look: "I don't know what the third uncle was thinking, introducing me to a girl like this. Am I, He Yuzhu, only worthy of this type? Really."

Lin Donglai smiled: "Brother Zhuzi, it's your fault for not finding out clearly at the beginning. Now you have lost both the wife and the army. This blind date cost a lot, right?"

"That's right, Donglai, now that you've said that, I feel more and more that I've been tricked by the Third Uncle. He must have done it on purpose."

"I treated this Third Uncle's family well. I even helped him cook for Yan Jiecheng's wedding. I should have ignored him earlier."

Sha Zhu was getting more and more agitated as he spoke indignantly, spitting everywhere. Lin Donglai quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, Brother Zhuzi, every failure is a lesson learned. What else can you do except admit that you are unlucky?"

As for an elderly man like Yan Bugui, who is also the third uncle in the courtyard, Sha Zhu thought for a while and said, "I really can't do anything with him, alas!"

After hearing Lin Donglai's words, Sha Zhu finally stopped drooling and calmed down.

My uncle watched and listened from the side and thought that Shazhu was a pretty good kid. When others treated him like a monkey, he just complained a few words behind their backs.

He has no intention of taking revenge behind someone's back. He is a kind-hearted person. Apart from being a little rash in his words and deeds, there is nothing wrong with him.

"Zhu Zi, you said you wanted to introduce me to someone, what are your requirements?"

Hearing the old man's words, Sha Zhu perked up: "Old man, I don't ask for much, just a pretty face and someone we can talk to."

"You said before that there are several good girls in the village. I trust your vision. Just help me pick a suitable one and arrange for us to meet and chat. Hehe."

After saying that, he looked at Uncle Lin Donglai expectantly, grinning with his teeth bared.

In fact, one of the girls that Uncle Lin Donglai mentioned last time was his niece. His father loved his youngest daughter and didn’t want her to stay in the countryside to do farm work.

She wanted her youngest daughter to marry someone in the city, and when she knew that her father was going to visit relatives in the city, she asked him to keep an eye out for a suitable family and to help set up a match.

When the old man saw that Sha Zhu had good conditions, he naturally became selfish. He felt very sorry that he failed to accomplish this goal in the city last time.

Now that Sha Zhu has come over, there will probably be a turn for the better, and it may be a big turn for the better.

Lin Donglai was afraid that his uncle would take the opportunity to introduce him to a girl, so he found an excuse and took his sister to the yard to watch the chickens lay eggs.

"Zhu Zi, I won't hide it from you. I actually want to introduce you to my little niece. She is a well-behaved and filial child. I think she should be a good match for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sha Zhu immediately asked, "Grandpa, um, is your little niece short? What does she look like?"

My aunt stood by and couldn't help but interrupt, "Zhu Zi, as the old saying goes, you should marry a virtuous woman. When you are looking for a partner, you can't just look at the appearance. A good person is the most important thing."

Hearing this, the old man also joined the ranks: "My wife is telling the truth. The most important thing for a couple to live together is to care for each other. Nothing else matters."

"But don't worry, Zhuzi. If you meet my niece, you will definitely rush to date her."

These words immediately aroused Sha Zhu's curiosity. What kind of girl could make the old man brag like this?

He quickly begged his uncle Lin Donglai to bring the girl over to meet him, or to tell him where the girl was so that he could see her from a distance.

The old man thought for a moment and told him, "Her home is not far from here. She is probably working in the fields with her family. If you want to see her, you can only go to the fields."

"There is another way. At noon, when the sun gets too hot, everyone will go back to the village. My niece will pass by my house on her way home. You can take a look then."

No matter when, blind dating is a serious matter. As the elders in the family, it is impossible for them to just bring the girl to meet the boy.

No matter what, the man has to prepare a table of food and eat and chat when they meet, which shows respect to the woman.

Who would have thought that after hearing what Uncle Donglai said, Sha Zhu became timid, and was afraid to go to the fields. He just wanted to hide in the yard and take a quick look.

Anyway, being looked at wouldn't have any bad influence on the girl, so the old man naturally didn't force it and just let him go.

At this time, the sound of puppies barking was heard from the yard. Two furry little puppies came out of their nest, barking in a baby voice.

Hearing the noise, Lin Dongyi was immediately attracted over: "Brother, look, what a cute puppy." As he said that, he picked up a puppy and started petting it.

At that moment the female dog rushed out of the den. Seeing the puppy being held, she wagged her tail anxiously and made a whining sound.

Seeing this, Lin Donglai said with a smile: "Dongyi, put the puppy down quickly. Look how anxious the mother dog is."

The mother dog went over and licked the puppy a few times, then licked the little girl's hand, and as if she understood human language, she nodded towards the ground to signal her to put down the puppy.

"Brother, the puppy is so cute. I also want to have a puppy." Lin Dongyi put the puppy down and muttered reluctantly.

The conversation between the brother and sister was heard by the uncle, who immediately smiled and said, "If Dongyi likes it, pick one that you like when you go back, and take it back as a favor to your uncle."

The two puppies had just been weaned, and although they were only fed one meal a day, it was still a huge burden for the country people at that time.

After all, people don’t always have enough to eat, so what good food can a dog have? It would be best if someone could help raise the dog.

"That's great, thank you uncle! Thank you aunt!" Lin Dongyi smiled and seemed very happy. He played with the puppy until he was sweating profusely and even forgot to drink water.

Lin Donglai naturally had no objection to his sister's request. Raising a dog is not only for guarding the house, the most important thing is to provide companionship.

If he has to go on a business trip in the future and can't come back on the same day, it would definitely be much better if his sister had a dog to accompany her.

Time passed quickly and it was noon in a blink of an eye. The weather was getting hotter and the sun was getting more and more scorching.

Working outside in such hot weather is most likely to cause heatstroke, so people walked back to the village from the fields in an endless stream.

And Sha Zhu moved a chair and sat by the gate, stretching his neck to watch if there were any young girls passing by the gate...
