Scholars in the courtyard

"Third aunt, you are wrong."

"Yang Xiaotao is not the only unmarried person in this compound. Look at me, I am also a young man of the right age."

"you?"

The third aunt was suspicious, Shazhu also started looking for a wife?

"Ah, ah, I, He Yuzhu, rely on my craftsmanship to make a living. With my skills and my reputation in this compound, I can't find a wife?"

Silly Zhu raised the lunch box in his hand and said proudly.

"That's true!"

The third aunt nodded silently, "Are you serious this time?"

"Nonsense, when have I not been serious?"

"Third aunt, you can't look down on others just because of what happened last time."

Shazhu felt a little angry when he saw Sangu doubting him.

"Okay, since you said it, I'll tell you."

The third aunt thought of Yang Xiaotao's rejection, and now she was in trouble.

"I am a good-looking girl. She is tall, has big eyes, and is fat. I will definitely carry on the family lineage of your old He family."

"What's more important is that this girl is only eighteen and can do a good job. She can work in the hall or in the kitchen. She is a good hand both inside and outside. She is a perfect match for you."

After hearing this, Silly Zhu immediately showed a smile on his face. For him, as long as she is not Zhu Bajie and his second aunt, that's fine.

He said cheerfully, "It doesn't matter whether I know how to cook. Anyway, as long as I can cook, she can eat."

"Haha, I forgot about your abilities. So, tomorrow, I will bring the girl here and you two will try everything?"

Sangu smiled, but Shazhu didn't expect it to happen so quickly when he heard it. "Okay, I'll prepare it tomorrow, tomorrow. You guys can come at noon and try my handiwork."

When the third aunt saw this, she thought it was funny, but some things had to be discussed in advance to avoid misunderstandings during the meeting.

"Zhuzi, I have to tell you something clearly."

"You say."

"In this case, this girl is from my hometown, not from the city. You should think about it yourself."

Hearing this, Shazhu thought of Qin Huairu in the courtyard, and felt a little hesitant because the children from the countryside could not afford the food supply and their children also had rural registered permanent residence.

Seeing that Sha Zhu was silent, the third aunt hurriedly said, "That's the only difficulty this girl has. Her other appearance and character are outstanding, no worse than Qin Huairu in your courtyard."

When Shazhu heard this, he thought about it mentally.

With his ability, what if he can't eat the food supply?

When the time comes, I will give birth to a big fat boy, pass on this skill, and be able to support myself in the future.

Thinking of this, Shazhu didn't pay much attention to his rural identity, and he was only thinking about finding someone who was not worse than Qin Huairu, right now.

What are you still hesitating about?

At that moment, Shazhu nodded in agreement. Seeing this, the third aunt thought that it would be possible this time, so she was about to turn around and go back.

"No, I'm going to buy something. I can't be shabby, can I?"

At this time, Silly Zhu suddenly remembered something and was about to walk out. After taking two steps, he handed the lunch box in his hand to Sangu's hand, "You can use this first. Just bring the lunch box back to me."

"Third aunt, let me thank you first."

Sangu looked at the lunch box on the rice and thought that she would make a lot of money this time in the courtyard.

Not far after Sha Zhu ran out of the alley, Xu Damao walked in from the outside, curled his lips at Sha Zhu's back, and walked inside.

"Hey, isn't this the third aunt? She's here to talk to you as a matchmaker again."

Xu Damao greeted the third aunt warmly. The third aunt just nodded and smiled and walked away without saying anything while holding her things.

"Pooh!"

Xu Damao curled his lips angrily and walked into the courtyard.

The three aunts in the front yard were cooking, the Jia family in the middle yard were also preparing to eat, and Yang Xiaotao was still cooking corn in the yard.

Looking at Yang Xiaotao, Xu Damao felt contempt.

He acts like a country rat day by day, wasting his family fortune in vain.

When I came home, I saw that the cooking pot was cold and my daughter-in-law, Lou Xiaoe, was sitting on the bed in a daze.

"I said, can't you light a fire and boil some water?"

"The house is so cold."

As Xu Damao said, Lou Xiao'e still didn't make any movement, which was strange in his heart.

After standing for a while, Xu Damao suddenly thought of something, his face became solemn, and he asked, "I met Third Aunt at the door just now. Has she come to our yard?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said nothing.

The child is a thorn in her heart.

Xu Damao didn't think so much. Looking at his wife's devastated look, he was thinking about the corn cobs in his arms. He must be looking for a wife for Yang Xiaotao.

Now that my daughter-in-law looks like this, I can tell with my toes that she is jealous.

My daughter-in-law is jealous of her love rival. This is because she has someone in her heart.

For a moment, Xu Damao was breathing rapidly and wanted to rush up and slap her.

But, he didn't dare.

Don't dare to fight.

Can't beat it.

"Yang Xiaotao, damn Yang Xiaotao, you still want to find a wife, you fucking dream."

Xu Damao clenched his fists and felt his hands were numb and his blood was blocked.

The next day, Shazhu got up early and laid out the ingredients he bought yesterday.

Cabbage, celery, leeks, a piece of pork, and half a pound of fish.

In order to show his sincerity, Shazhu made great efforts, and this meal cost more than two yuan.

Pick up the fish and pick it up under the faucet.

Scraping the fish scales, disemboweling the fish and removing the gills was a very busy time.

Yi Zhonghai saw that Sha Zhu's busy work was also novel, so he walked closer and walked around twice.

"Zhuzi, you are both fish and meat today. What's wrong? What's the happy news?"

Yi Zhonghai joked with a smile. Silly Zhu stopped what he was doing, turned his head and said with a smile, "That's right, sir. Just take a look at this now, I'm sure I'll give you a surprise!"

"Give me a surprise, just don't scare me."

"That was not, an absolute surprise."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't figure out what happened to Silly Zhu. Jia Dongxu, who came out from the side, looked left and right. There were so many things that were enough to make a table of dishes.

"Silly Zhu, is your sister coming back?"

"Rain? It must be."

Silly Zhu thought for a moment, and it was time for He Yuyu to come back to get food recently.

To eat at school, you need to exchange grain for tickets, and then use the tickets to buy vegetables and steamed buns.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai concluded that Silly Zhu was definitely not made for He Yuyu, which is intriguing.

"I'm not telling you, Silly Zhu, what kind of dragon gate formation are you doing? Tell the big guys."

Several people around him also gathered around, and Jia Dongxu took the opportunity to ask.

Silly Zhu stood in the crowd, arrogant, and was about to speak, when he saw Yang Xiaotao coming over to fetch water with a bucket, his nose raised three points, "It's pointless to say this, so as to save some people from feeling uncomfortable and having bad thoughts. "

As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Xiaotao, and the people around him naturally understood what he meant.

Yang Xiaotao naturally understood that Silly Zhu was targeting him, but he was not angry, and there was no need to vent his anger on this "idiot". He opened the faucet, filled it with water and returned home.

Silly Zhu looked at him with disdain from behind, "What's so cool about it? When I get a wife, I'll make you mad!"

"Okay, okay, don't pile it up here, you will know later. I'm busy."

Silly Zhu waved his hand and prepared to wash the vegetables.

"Master, I'll call you later. Don't eat at noon."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded.

Jia Dongxu rolled his eyes, "Zhuzhu, I'll go find you for a drink at noon."

"Ah, oh, okay."

After hearing Sha Zhu's promise, Jia Dongxu returned home and shouted to Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu, "Stop cooking at noon and eat at Sha Zhu's house."

"What, Silly Zhu invites you to dinner? What's going on?"

Jia Zhang jumped down excitedly.

"I don't know, just go."

"I saw that he bought a lot of fish, meat, and vegetables. If he doesn't go there, he will lose money."

Jia Dongxu took out a pack of shriveled cigarette boxes, pinched them, took one out and held it in his mouth, looking at Silly Zhu.

When Qin Huairu heard that there was fish and meat, her eyes shone brightly, and she became more energetic holding the stick.

At the entrance of the alley, Xu Damao got up early in the morning, didn't even eat, put on his clothes and waited here.

After having a cold meal last night, although Lou Xiao'e wanted to be more enthusiastic and make up for the regrets of the past years as soon as possible, Xu Damao was in a depressed mood, how could he have the mind to pay attention to Lou Xiao'e's hint?

I didn't sleep well all night, so I got up early when no one was around, just to interfere with Yang Xiaotao's blind date.

At this time, Xu Damao thought he was proposing marriage to Yang Xiaotao, but he didn't notice anything strange about Sha Zhu.

Of course, even if he knew it was Silly Zhu, Xu Damao would not let go of this opportunity.

Being able to destroy the good deeds of Si Zhu, his "old enemy", Xu Damao also felt comfortable.

As the sun rose, Xu Damao leaned against the wall, thinking about what to do next.

"This is 'Zhu Bajie and his second aunt', I will help Yang Xiaotao and bring them together!"

Xu Damao lowered his head and thought deeply. Thinking of this term, he felt sympathy for Silly Zhu in his heart.

"If you look at it this way, you have to resort to some tricks."

Thinking about possible situations, Xu Damao thought about countermeasures.

Outside the alley, the third aunt was wearing new clothes, carrying a lunch box in her hand, and followed by a girl in a plaid shirt.

The girl is tall, and at first glance she is even taller than Shazhu. She is walking with her head lowered, and her black ponytail is swaying in the air.

Xu Damao glanced up and decided that this was the person on the blind date.

Facing the third aunt, Xu Damao hurriedly stepped forward.

"Hey, Third Aunt is here again."

"It's not easy to run here every day."

Xu Damao stopped in front of the two of them and looked at the girl next to the third aunt.

There is a certain rusticity about the girl, which is a feeling he has gained from going to the countryside many times.

Don't think that rustic is a derogatory term. In his opinion, girls who are rustic have more taste.

This kind of girl is honest, willing to work, and can have children.

There are no other thoughts. It is much better to obey a man at home and be conscientious and obedient outside than to a woman at home.

Of course, differences in culture and life still exist, but this does not hinder communication between men and women.

Xu Damao just took one look and saw that this girl was definitely the type to live at home. Her shy personality was most suitable for someone as energetic as Yang Xiaotao.

Although the body is a little thin and the face is sallow, it should be due to poor nutrition. If you marry Yang Xiaotao, you will definitely be able to raise it. When the time comes, you will have a baby. Will you be prosperous in the future?

Then wouldn’t their family be compared?

"No, we absolutely cannot let Yang Xiaotao get what he wants!"

"This matter must be stirred up!"

Xu Damao made up his mind, but with a smile on his face.

Third aunt also felt awkward when she saw Xu Damao. Who among the people living in this area didn't know what Xu Damao was?

It's just that people in her profession are accustomed to adapting to the changing circumstances and don't offend people easily.

"Isn't this my duty? This is what I do."

"What are you doing here this early in the morning?"

Xu Damao curled his lips, "Nothing to do, just bask in the sun."

"This girl looks strange, who is she?"

Third Gu stopped in front of Xu Damao, "Isn't this the person you want to introduce to the courtyard?"

Xu Damao didn't answer, and kept leaning towards the girl, "Third aunt, I have to talk about you."

The third aunt looked suspicious, "What's wrong? Xu Damao, if you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. Don't delay me from completing my task."

"Don't dare, don't dare. How dare I delay your mission."

"I just think it's unethical for you to push such a good girl into a fire pit."

Xu Damao walked up to the girl and spread his hands to the third aunt, as if he was so good.

"Xu Damao, what do you mean?"

"Third aunt, how many people have I helped over the years? You must provide evidence when you speak, otherwise I will go to the street office to sue you!"

The third aunt immediately pointed at Xu Damao and started to curse, and many people gathered outside the alley entrance.

"Haha, Third Aunt, I'm really not afraid of this."

"What I said is all true. If you don't believe me, just ask everyone."

Xu Damao shouted to the people around him, "Everyone has heard about what's going on in our courtyard."

"Don't talk about it at all, let's just talk about the last wedding of the weird family. Asking the bride for money in front of so many people, is this what people do, isn't it?"

"Sister, if you marry such a vicious person who doesn't respect his elders and doesn't unite his neighbors, wouldn't you just fall into a den of tigers and wolves?"

Xu Damao did all the bad things Yang Xiaotao said, and the people around him did not refute him, which made the girl believe him even more.

At this time, Sangu wanted to explain, but Xu Damao didn't give her a chance to speak.

"Girl, I, Xu Damao, am the film projectionist at the steel rolling mill. You country girls have seen a lot. You will have something to gain when you come to the city!"

"Otherwise, if you are cheated, you will have to suffer for the rest of your life!"
