Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

"That's good, that's good."

After hearing this, Xu Damao murmured with a silly smile.

Seeing her son's silly look, Xu's mother couldn't bear to watch and muttered, "Silly."

After hearing this, Xu Damao didn't care. He said something and went back to work at the steel mill.

"Mom, I'm going back to the steel mill."

Xu Damao hummed a tune and rode his bicycle to the steel mill.

I had just parked my bike in the carport and came out when I ran into Li Qingshan and four or five other people patrolling the steel mill.

Xu Damao trotted over to Li Qingshan and his group, took out a cigarette and passed it around, then said with a smile, "Brother Qingshan, let's go on patrol!"

Li Qingshan took the cigarette and nodded to the team members, signaling them to continue patrolling. He lit the cigarette and asked Xu Damao, "Da Mao, are you new to work?"

Xu Damao took a puff of his cigarette, and with a hint of enthusiasm in his tone, he smiled and said, "How could that be possible! Brother Qingshan."

"I'm not the type of person who comes in late or leaves early. I just have something to do so I need to go home."

After hearing this, Li Qingshan nodded, but he felt that Xu Damao's tone when talking to him was not right, a little enthusiastic, he was not like this usually!

Li Qingshan looked at Xu Damao in surprise, but didn't think much about it.

The two chatted and finished a cigarette, then went back to their respective departments.

Get off work in the afternoon.

Li Qingshan returned home early. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Matchmaker Wang chatting and laughing with Qin Huairu in her room. He wondered why Matchmaker Wang came to his house?

Li Qingshan didn't think much about it and greeted Wang the matchmaker enthusiastically.

"Aunt Wang, when did you come?"

Matchmaker Wang smiled and said, "Qingshan is off work! I just got here too, just like you."

"I came home because of something, about Miss Qin Xueru."

After saying that, he glanced at Qin Xueru.

"Sister Xueru?"

Li Qingshan looked at Qin Xueru, and saw her holding her daughter, with a red face and a somewhat embarrassed expression sitting aside. Then he thought of Wang the matchmaker's job, and Li Qingshan immediately understood.

This is to propose marriage to Qin Xueru! I just don't know where the man belongs to.

Li Qingshan added some water to Matchmaker Wang's cup and asked, "Matchmaker Wang, who is the man's family?"

Hearing this, Matchmaker Wang did not beat around the bush and said directly: "You also know the man, he is Xu Damao from the Xu family in the backyard."

"Xu Damao?"

After hearing this, Qin Huairu and Li Qingshan looked at Matchmaker Wang in surprise.

Qin Xueru had just moved into the East Courtyard and didn't know much about Xu Damao. She could only listen to the introduction from matchmaker Wang and her sister Huairu's family.

Li Qingshan thought, why did I say Xu Damao was so enthusiastic this morning! It turns out that he has a crush on my sister-in-law. Although Xu Damao is usually mean and a real villain, he is better than those who play tricks behind the scenes.

Besides, Li Qingshan has no say in Qin Xueru’s marriage, so we can only wait and see.

Matchmaker Wang nodded and said, "Yes! It's Xu Damao from the backyard."

"His mother came to my house this morning and asked me to come and make peace with you."

"You all know the situation of Xu Damao's family, so I won't introduce it to you. The only thing is that when Xu Damao got married, the two rooms in the backyard were left to Xu Damao and his wife."

"The Xu couple and Xu Damao's sister moved to the old house."

"Qingshan. Huairu, Xueru, what do you think?"

Li Qingshan lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "Aunt Wang, what I said doesn't count!"

"Sister, come with me."

Qin Huairu stood up and took Qin Xueru to the bedroom, and asked Qin Xueru in a low voice: "Sister, what do you think?"

Qin Xueru shook her head and said softly, "Huai Ru, I don't know either."

"I have never met Xu Damao before, and I don't even know what kind of person he is. What do you want me to think?"

After hearing this, Qin Huairu thought for a moment, and then said to Qin Xueru: "Xu Damao's family is well off, but I don't know what his father does."

"Xu Damao's mother is at home, and he has a younger sister who is in school. Xu Damao works as a projectionist in the publicity department of the steel mill."

"But Xu Damao is a bit out of tune and a bit mean. I haven't heard anything else about him."

Qin Huairu looked at her sister Qin Xueru who was unsure, and said with a smile: "Sister, how about you take a day off tomorrow and go back to ask your uncle and aunt?"

After hearing this, Qin Xueru nodded and said, "Okay, Huairu, tell the matchmaker outside and I won't go out."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "I see, sister. I'll go out and talk to matchmaker Wang, and then go home and discuss it with my parents."

Qin Xueru nodded: "Well, Huairu, what about Weidong?"

"Sister, it's okay. Weidong will go to the police station with me. Don't worry about it."

Qin Huairu walked out of the bedroom with a smile and said to Matchmaker Wang embarrassedly, "Aunt Wang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"It's okay, Huairu."

When Matchmaker Wang saw Qin Huairu coming out by herself, she thought that this marriage might not be possible, but she still asked, "Huairu, how is the discussion with Xueru going?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, my sister may not have any objections. She just wants to go home tomorrow to discuss it with her family and see what my second uncle and second aunt think."

After hearing this, matchmaker Wang was a little happy. As long as Qin Xueru agreed, the marriage would be settled as long as her parents agreed. She would definitely get the matchmaker's money.

"I need to discuss this matter with my family."

"Qingshan, Huairu, let's go first!"

Matchmaker Wang stood up and said to Li Qingshan and Qin Huairu with a smile.

Li Qingshan stood up and said, "Aunt Wang, you finally came here, why don't you just eat something at home."

Qin Huairu also echoed, "Yes! Aunt Wang, eat something at home before leaving!"

Matchmaker Wang waved her hand and said with a smile, "No, I have to go home and cook for my child! Don't send me off, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Matchmaker Wang, please walk slower!"

Li Qingshan and Qin Huairu sent Wang the matchmaker to the gate of their home, then closed the door and went back to cook.

After get off work, Xu Damao did not go home, but waited for the matchmaker to come out not far from the gate of the courtyard.

But after waiting for nearly half an hour, Xu Damao didn't see anyone come out, let alone the matchmaker, even the neighbors in the courtyard.

Xu Damao wondered if the matchmaker didn't come, or left before he got home from get off work?

Xu Damao, who was getting impatient waiting, stood up, threw away his cigarette butt, and then walked straight home to eat.

Unexpectedly, just as he reached the gate of the courtyard, Xu Damao met a strange middle-aged woman. He thought, could this person be the matchmaker?

Xu Damao smiled what he thought was a very handsome smile and asked Matchmaker Wang: "Aunt, you are the matchmaker, right?"
