Chapter 371 Matchmaking for Cheng Erhua
He Yushui opened his mouth, as if he wanted to add something. At this moment, a clear shout suddenly came from outside the door:
"Brother Jianguo, is Brother Jianguo home?"
The sound echoed outside the quiet courtyard, and it seemed particularly loud. Wang Jianguo was slightly startled when he heard the sound, then turned around and walked towards the door with steady steps.
I saw Cheng Erhua standing outside the door. His figure looked a little thin in the sunlight, and there was a hint of anxiety and expectation on his face.
When Cheng Erhua saw Wang Jianguo appear at the door, his originally tense expression instantly relaxed a lot.
He grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, but there was still a hint of shyness in his eyes.
Wang Jianguo stepped aside to let Cheng Erhua into the yard, and was the first to break the silence, asking with concern:
"Erhua, what's wrong? I'm busy cleaning the kitchen. Do you have something to talk to me about?"
Cheng Erhua walked slowly into the yard, his steps slightly hesitant, his hands unconsciously rubbing the corners of his clothes.
Hearing Wang Jianguo's question, he raised his head slightly, his eyes were a little evasive, and he scratched his head, and the action seemed a little uneasy.
After a long while, he said in a voice that was a little immature and nervous:
"Brother Jianguo, um...my mother prepared the clothes and shoes for me to wear for the blind date. My mother asked me to ask you, when are we going?"
After Cheng Erhua stuttered to finish his words, his flushed face quickly spread to the base of his neck like a ripe tomato, and even his ears became hot.
When Wang Jianguo witnessed this scene, he suddenly felt amused. The smile was like a spring about to burst out, swirling in his eyes.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said jokingly:
"Erhua, I'm a little confused. Is it your mother who is anxious to sell you out, or are you looking forward to this blind date in your heart?"
These words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly making Cheng Erhua even more at a loss.
His mouth opened and closed slightly, as if he wanted to respond, but the feeling of embarrassment gripped his throat tightly.
He was unable to utter a single word and could only stand there awkwardly, his eyes wandering around in panic.
At this time, He Yushui saw that the situation had reached a stalemate, and hurried forward to smooth things over. She walked over gently, with a gentle smile on her face, and said to Wang Jianguo:
"Brother Jianguo, please stop teasing Erhua. He is thin-skinned and can't stand your teasing."
"I can clean up the kitchen here slowly by myself. Don't you have other things to do? Go quickly."
Wang Jianguo listened to He Yushui's words, nodded slightly, raised his hand and slowly untied the apron tied around his waist, his movements were neither hurried nor slow, then turned to Cheng Erhua and said:
"Erhua, go to the production team and hitch a bullock cart, and then bring Brother Zhao back."
"We're not just representing ourselves when we go out this time, so we have to dress neatly and tidy up. We can't embarrass you in front of the girl."
When Cheng Erhua heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his originally tense face. That smile was like the sunshine that dispels the haze, bright and somewhat simple.
He nodded quickly, and kept responding:
"Okay, Brother Jianguo, I'll go right away."
Before he finished speaking, he ran towards the production team like a gust of wind, and his figure soon disappeared at the end of the path.
Wang Jianguo looked at the direction where Cheng Erhua left, smiled and shook his head.
Then he turned around and walked into the house, carefully selected a set of clean clothes and put them on. He instantly looked energetic and had an extraordinary temperament.
Time passed slowly, and after a moment, the creaking sound of an ox cart was heard in the distance.
I saw Cheng Erhua sitting steadily on the ox cart, holding the reins skillfully in his hands, shouting at the ox to move forward, with Zhao Shuzhuo sitting next to him.
The ox cart slowly drove into the yard. At this time, Wang Jianguo had already packed up everything. He stood upright in the yard, his clothes were neat and tidy, and his hair was combed meticulously.
Seeing Zhao Shuzhuo return, Wang Jianguo smiled and walked up to him and said:
"Brother Zhao, let's not delay any longer. Let's go to Comrade Yang Chan's house to propose marriage to Erhua. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. You should go back to your room and change into clean and neat clothes."
"This way, we can show our respect to the girl and also let her family see our sincerity, don't you think?"
Zhao Shuzhuo looked embarrassed after hearing what Wang Jianguo said. He frowned slightly, rubbed his hands unconsciously, and said with a bit of simplicity and shyness:
"Jianguo, I think I'd better not go. You know I'm not good at talking. Normally, I'm not very good at speaking."
"When it comes to important occasions like this, I get so nervous that my mind goes blank and I don't know what to say."
"What if I accidentally say something wrong? Wouldn't that ruin Erhua's good fortune?"
"I think it would be great for you to go by yourself. You are eloquent and have a quick mind, so you will definitely be able to get things done properly."
Just as Wang Jianguo was about to respond, Cheng Erhua on the side quickly interrupted him. His eyes were full of urgency and determination, and he waved his hands repeatedly and said:
"Captain, this won't do. You absolutely cannot not go!"
Cheng Erhua raised his voice slightly and spoke faster unconsciously.
"My mother has told me many times that in our entire production team, your words carry the most weight, and your actions are the most reassuring and reliable."
"Think about it, this time when we propose marriage to me, the girl's family will definitely want to see our sincerity. With you acting as a matchmaker for me, then this matter will be half successful!"
"If you don't go, I'll feel uneasy and like I'm missing a backbone. So, you must go. This can't be done without you."
Wang Jianguo looked at Cheng Erhua's anxious look and couldn't help but smile, then agreed:
"Erhua is right, Brother Zhao, you really have to go. To be honest, I usually look like I can handle anything."
"But this is the first time I've ever been a matchmaker for someone. I was really nervous and had no idea what to do."
"You are highly respected in the village and have rich experience. With you by my side, I can feel more confident."
"If you weren't here, I'd be busy all by myself. If something went wrong, Erhua's marriage wouldn't be successful, and we'd be the ones to blame."
"Don't hesitate, go pack your things quickly. Erhua and I will be waiting for you here. Let's go to Comrade Yang Chan's home in style."
Zhao Shuzhuo listened to the two people's persuasion, with a helpless expression on his face. He knew in his heart that he could not refuse.
