Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

The next day was a nice sunny day.

What makes people feel warmest in winter? It is seeing the sun rising from the east. If it is cloudy on a certain day, you will feel that day is particularly cold.

But whether it is sunny or cloudy today.

Li Dabao's heart was excited.

He was so excited that he got up even earlier than the third brother, which made Xu Damao complain for a long time.

This morning was his blind date day, and he was a little restless. After breakfast, he kept walking around in the living room, asking, "Brother Zheng, is there anything wrong with my clothes?"

"How do you like my hairstyle?"

"My leather shoes are still clean, right? No, I need to apply some shoe polish again."

"Oh, and there's also candy. Brother Zheng, where's the candy you prepared for me?"

The candy was clearly right there on the table in the living room, but this guy was still looking for it.

"Dabao, I beg you."

Xu Damao didn't go out today because he wanted to see Li Dabao's blind date. But now he regretted it as he was dazzled by Li Dabao's distraction.

"Dabao, calm down, you can't go on like this."

Liu Guozheng didn't expect that Li Dabao was so nervous about the blind date.

"That's right, Dabao, stop turning around and just sit still for a while. Be the same as you usually are."

"Is it really possible?"

"Don't worry, it will definitely be fine."

"But I'm still a little worried."

"worry about what?"

“I’m worried that others will look down on me.”

"Dabao, I think you're overthinking it. Wait until you've fallen in love with someone, then think about this issue."

"that's true."

"Please sit here."

Xu Damao pushed Dabao directly onto the sofa.

"Brother Zheng, wait for me. I'm going to take a nap. You don't know that Dabao has to get up at five o'clock. I'm so sleepy."

Xu Damao went back to his room to take a nap while playing games.

"Xiaolan, shall we go out for a walk?"

It's a rare day when the third child is in the mood to go shopping.

Chen Xiaolan smiled and said, "No, I still want to see Dabao's blind date. Besides, I want to check for Dabao, don't you think so, Dabao?"

The third brother said, "It will be even more stressful if we keep an eye on Dabao."

"No, I'll be more nervous without you guys, third brother."

Li Dabao sat on the sofa, holding the water cup in both hands, looking a little embarrassed.

"Ugh!"

The third brother sighed and shook his head. He didn't expect that Li Dabao was quite talkative when they were together normally, but he seemed like a different person after the blind date.

"Dabao, Lao San, let's go to Xiaohao's room to play cards and relax."

When Liu Guozheng saw Li Dabao's restless look, he had no choice but to pull the two of them to play cards.

Chen Xiaolan asked with a smile: "Xiao'e, what did Brother Zheng say last night?"

Lou Xiao'e repeated Liu Guozheng's words, and Chen Xiaolan said frankly that she did not believe it and said that Lou Xiao'e must have been deceived by Liu Guozheng.

Lou Xiao'e said she was not sure. Anyway, what Liu Guozheng said was right. If Xu Fang had not lent it to him, where would he get so much money? Besides, Liu Guozheng had always been by her side and had basically never left. So deep down, Lou Xiao'e did not believe that Liu Guozheng would cheat her.

As the few people were chatting, time quickly came to nine o'clock in the morning.

Director Zhang from the street office came to the office with a girl.

"Dabao, Li Dabao."

As soon as I entered the door, Director Zhang started shouting.

"Dabao, Sister Xia is here, go quickly."

After playing cards for so long, Li Dabao was no longer nervous and went to the living room naturally.

The third brother asked, "Brother Zheng, Dabao, can this blind date be successful?"

Li Dabao went to the living room, while the third brother and Liu Guozheng stayed in the room playing cards. They did not go to the living room, so as not to "scare" the girl again.

"Guo Zheng, Guo Zheng."

After a while, Director Zhang came over and, probably after introducing Dabao and the other person, asked them to talk alone in the living room and get to know each other.

"Sister Xia, thank you for your hard work."

Liu Guozheng opened the door, but Director Zhang did not enter the room either. The main reason was that there were two grown men in the room, so it was not convenient for her to go in.

"Guo Zheng, I'm telling you, I'm going to eat this carp."

"Sister Xia, are you so sure?"

"Of course, Dabao and Yu Li both had a good first impression of each other."

"Sister Xia, who? Yu Li?"

Liu Guozheng really didn't expect that the person Director Zhang introduced to Li Dabao was Yu Li, Yan Jiecheng's wife in the original drama, who was a very smart person and the type who dared to think and act.

He is also good looking.

The scene that impressed Liu Guozheng the most was the one when Yu Li's aunt came to visit relatives in Sijiu City and Yu Li and her husband wanted to borrow Yan Bugui's bicycle. Yu Li was wearing a floral jacket, and she looked neat and tidy, which was eye-catching, especially when she said that Yan Bugui could use the bicycle himself, her eyes and facial expressions were full of drama.

"Why? Guozheng, you know him too?"

“Sister Xia, how could I know you when you say that? It’s just that the name sounds familiar.”

"That's true. I guess Guozheng heard someone say that."

Director Zhang didn't care, after all, there were too many people with the same name. The phenomenon of having the same name was extremely common in Xia State. According to statistics, there were as many as 29 people named Zhang Wei with the same name. You can imagine how high the rate of having the same name with two characters is.

"Come, Sister Xia, have some candy."

Liu Guozheng took out a handful of candies and handed them to Director Zhang.

"Okay, Guozheng, I see. Your pocket is like a treasure chest. You can take something out at any time. What kind of candy is this? It's so soft."

"Sister Xia, this fudge is delicious if you try it."

"Well, it's true. The taste is extraordinary. It's very elastic and the sweetness is moderate. Not bad."

Zhang Xia tasted one and put the rest of the candy into her pocket. She didn’t want to eat too much, so she took some home for her family to try.

"Sister Xia, where does this Yu Li work?"

"Yu Li doesn't have a job. Guo Zheng, you know that factories are not hiring now. In addition, the current economic situation is bad, and many families don't have enough food. That's why the family wants to marry Yu Li off early, which can also reduce the burden on the family."

"That's it."

"Guozheng, let me tell you, Yu Li is a junior high school graduate. She was a good student, but she dropped out of school early to help her family. She usually finds some sewing and mending jobs, and occasionally takes on some matchbox pasting jobs to supplement the family income. She is good in all aspects. I think she is a good match for Dabao."

"These are not a big deal, as long as Dabao is satisfied."

"That's right. No matter how nicely we talk, it's useless. We still have to see what they both mean."

"Sister Xia, go check out the situation. If both parties have no objection, we can have lunch together at noon and settle this matter first."

"Okay, I'll go and test the waters on both sides."

Zhang Xia went to try to find out, and a child's voice came from the door again: "Liu Guozheng, are you there?"

When I went out to take a look, I saw that it was the same mischievous little brat from last time.

This time Liu Guozheng didn't tease him, but directly gave him two candies.

The little guy ran away jumping up and down.

I opened the note and saw that this time he was going to the North City District, and the time was tomorrow at noon.

The timing is quite interesting.
