Chapter 121 The fight started
After hearing this, Xu's father and mother looked at each other, and both felt that their son's idea was a little unrealistic.
But considering that Xu Damao was their only son and had not been able to find a suitable partner for various reasons, they could not bear to directly discourage him. Especially when they thought that if he could marry Lou Xiao'e, he would become the son-in-law of the Lou family and his status would be completely different.
Xu Fugui pondered for a moment and finally made up his mind: "Go, we must go! Tomorrow we will go to the Lou family to propose marriage for Damao!"
Xu's mother was a little worried: "Da Mao's father, what's wrong with you? What kind of family is the Lou family? How can we marry into their family? How could the daughter of the Lou family be interested in our Da Mao?"
Xu Fugui glared at his wife and said, "You are such a short-sighted woman! Maybe we couldn't afford her before, but the situation is different now.
To be honest, the current situation of the Lou family is no longer as good as before. Now it is not us who are begging the Lou family, but the Lou family may be begging us to agree to this marriage.
Don't forget, our family has been poor peasants for three generations, and we have a good family background, which is a big advantage nowadays. "At this point, Xu Fugui's eyes flashed with a shrewd light, and he continued.
"Da Mao is highly valued in the factory now, especially for the position of propaganda chief. I think he has a good chance of being qualified for the job." Xu Fugui said softly at the dinner table, his eyes revealing his expectations for the future.
"If we can marry into the Lou family," he continued to ponder, "with the help of the Lou family's deep foundation in the steel mill, Damao's career will definitely be more open. Not only will he be able to become the head of the publicity department, but he will also have an immeasurable future."
When Xu Damao heard his father's words, a trace of yearning flashed in his eyes. He seemed to have foreseen that he would marry a rich girl, become a shining star in the steel mill, and lead a brilliant life from then on.
Xu's mother also agreed with her husband's proposal. She nodded and said, "Da Mao's father, your ideas are indeed far-reaching." She added, "I will ask the matchmaker to go to the Lou family as soon as possible to discuss this matter."
The next day, Xu's mother took action. She spent a lot of money to invite the most prestigious matchmaker in town to go to the Lou family to propose marriage for Damao.
At this moment in the Lou family, Lou's mother was also worried about her daughter's marriage.
She was worried that her daughter's obsession with Yang Ming would affect her future happiness.
Therefore, when the matchmaker mentioned Xu Damao, although she thought that the other party's family background was average, she considered that Xu Damao was a projectionist in a steel rolling mill and had a stable job, and her daughter could at least live a stable life if she married him.
After discussing with her husband Lou Bancheng, Lou's mother decided to give her daughter a chance to meet Xu Damao. She hoped that her daughter could let go of the past obsession and start a new life.
However, when Lou Xiao'e learned the news, she was filled with doubts and uneasiness. She did not expect her parents to arrange a marriage for her so quickly, and she did not expect that the other party would be Xu Damao, the neighbor she had a few nodding acquaintances with.
"Xu Damao?" Lou Xiao'e whispered, "How could he become my blind date?"
Although she was full of doubts, Lou Xiao'e decided to meet Xu Damao. She wanted to know whether this man, who she did not have much impression of, could really become her future partner.
On that sunny weekend, she felt an indescribable urge in her heart. She was eager to go to Yang Ming's residence to find out the truth, or at least see with her own eyes what kind of person the partner who spent time with Yang Ming was.
When the weekend sunshine gently spreads over the earth, this day is destined to be an extraordinary day for Xu Damao, because he will go on a blind date with Lou Xiaoe.
Since the Lou family agreed to this blind date, Xu Damao's mood was like a firework being lit, and he was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep. At his mother's urging, he spent the whole afternoon tidying up his little house and making it spotless.
Afterwards, he went to the Huaqing Pool to bathe, shaved off his facial stubble, put on a brand new Zhongshan suit, and polished his shoes. He also applied wax to his hair, which was so smooth that even insects could not stay.
After careful preparation, Xu Damao calculated the time, cooked himself, and prepared a table of delicious food. He also specially bought a bottle of red wine, hoping to take this opportunity to win Lou Xiaoe's heart.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for the blind date. The residents in the courtyard knew the situation well, and they speculated on Xu Damao's movements today. They stretched their necks, looking forward to the arrival of the blind date.
"Humph, a man who can't have children still wants to find a partner, isn't this asking for trouble?" Jia Zhang sarcastically mocked. Although her words were harsh, they pointed out Xu Damao's pain point.
The residents around couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this. Jia Zhang's metaphor was indeed sharp and hard to refute.
After hearing this, Sha Zhu also mercilessly ridiculed him, "Xu Damao, what Jia Zhang said is true. If you want to get married in your current situation, won't you ruin the girl's life? Don't you have many confidantes in the countryside? Wouldn't it be better to find a young widow with a child? You can save yourself the trouble of having a child with a ready-made one. How cost-effective!"
After hearing this, Xu Damao was furious and retorted: "Silly Zhu, I think you are destined to die alone! People like you can only find a widow and raise children for others. You are exactly like your father who abandoned his wife and children!"
This sentence was like a ignited dynamite, instantly angering Sha Zhu. He had always been resentful of his father He Daqing's behavior. So he rushed towards Xu Damao, grabbed his collar, and punched him.
"I asked you to curse me so that I can't find a partner!"
"I'll let you go on a blind date!"
Xu Damao was beaten black and blue by Sha Zhu, and with his already elongated face, he became the laughing stock of the whole courtyard.
That scene is just hilarious!
"Xu Damao, you...you better remember this!" Faced with the disparity in strength between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, he could only flee in disgrace, unable to even utter a single harsh word.
mouth.
Not long after, a car quietly stopped in front of the gate of the courtyard.
As the car door opened, a young woman gracefully stepped out. Her youthful outfit was particularly eye-catching.
"Master Liu, please take me here."
"I'll take the bus back later on my own."
After a brief exchange, the young woman stepped into the courtyard with a hint of inexplicable excitement.
"This should be Courtyard No. 95..."
The person who came was Lou Xiao'e, who was going to have a blind date with Xu Damao today.
