Scholars in the courtyard

Silly Zhu came to the backyard. The deaf old lady was also wearing clean clothes and had been sitting at the door waiting for her.

"Zhuzi, you are very energetic today."

"Old lady, you are also in good spirits."

"Haha, that's good, that's good."

The deaf old lady smiled happily with her mouth without front teeth.

Silly Zhu laughed and said, "Old lady, let's go."

"Yeah, let's go early, don't keep the girl waiting."

As the old lady said, Shazhu picked her up and walked towards the middle courtyard.

Soon, the two disappeared outside the Moon Gate.

Xu Damao slowly opened the door, his face gloomy and uncertain, "Meeting a girl? You idiot, you must have learned your lesson and engaged in underground activities."

"Hmph, no matter how secretive you are, you can't hide from grandpa's eyes."

Saying that, Xu Damao was about to go out and follow her to see what kind of girl could fall in love with Silly Zhu. If she was good-looking, she would be sure to mess with him.

Just when he went out and looked at the movie tickets in his hand, Xu Damao hesitated.

Today he is going to make an appointment with Yu Haitang to watch a movie. If this happens, it will be a crucial step.

With his own happiness on one side and the happiness of his mortal enemy on the other, Xu Damao clenched his hands and hesitated to pay attention.

Slowly walked out of the Moon Gate and looked up at Yang Xiaotao's house.

Last time, he was supposed to go to the Second Canteen to eat Guobao Pork, but when he saw Yang Xiaotao at the door, Xu Damao took Yu Haitang to the First Canteen in order to avoid this plague god.

"Damn it, I'm looking for a factory flower. I'll be so jealous of you."

Xu Damao has become mentally aware. How can his own happiness be important to his rival's affairs?

After walking two steps, I saw Qin Huairu drying clothes. Jia Zhang was holding a basket to collect shoe soles at the door as usual. A pair of triangular eyes were always watching Qin Huairu, for fear of doing something that would damage the lintel of the Jia family.

This old godly woman didn't even look at it. What could Qin Huairu do?

If you really want to do it, you have to wait until the child comes out.

An idiot.

However, Xu Damao's head was spinning very fast, and he came to Qin Huairu in a blink of an eye.

"Sister Qin, you are busy."

Qin Huairu glanced at Xu Damao and nodded in response, "I'm busy every day. It's not like you haven't noticed."

"Haha, that's right. You really didn't live a good life after getting married."

Jia Zhang held the needle and stared at Xu Damao.

Qin Huairu heard something in the words, but was too lazy to pay attention.

"Hey, I didn't expect this guy Silly Zhu to start looking for a wife. If he finds a good wife, our courtyard will be lively again."

Xu Damao said a word and walked to the front yard.

Qin Huairu's downcast face suddenly turned pale. She was most afraid of what would happen. No wonder Shazhu was avoiding them these days.

There were also those lunch boxes. It was probably not because they were out of fuel or because they were afraid that Xu Damao would sue, but because he didn’t want to bring them anymore.

Qin Huairu thought of the deaf old lady being carried by Silly Zhu, and for a moment, she understood everything.

This is a tip from an expert.

But, what if you figure it out?

Look at Mrs. Jia Zhang, look at the crippled husband in the house, and...

There was nothing she could do.

Yi Zhonghai saw Sha Zhu carrying the old lady out at home. He was curious and prepared to go out to see what was going on. However, he didn't want to hear Xu Damao's words, and his heart was turned upside down.

This stupid pillar needs to be out of control.

Standing at the door, looking at Qin Huairu who was also depressed, the two of them felt desolate at this moment.

After leaving the courtyard, Shazhu carried the deaf old lady through two alleys and finally arrived outside the noodle shop where they met.

"Zhuzi, I won't go in. I'll go alone. Speak well and seize the opportunity."

The deaf old lady looked around, her eyes flashing with brilliance.

"Hey, okay, old lady, don't go too far. When the girl comes, you can help her take a look."

Silly Zhu rubbed his hands, looking a little nervous.

This wouldn't be the case if he were entertaining girls at home.

But he was not a fool, so how could he not see what was going on in the hospital?

If that bad guy Xu Damao knew about it, he would definitely have a hand in it.

Moreover, the old lady's analysis was correct. The people in the courtyard were too dark-hearted and had too many heartless people, and they just couldn't see him well.

Might as well choose to meet here.

It was just the first time for Silly Zhu to date a girl in public, and his heart was pounding.

"Okay, okay, I'll keep an eye on you. Go in and wait, don't let the girl wait for you."

"Also, be generous and don't feel bad about spending money. Once you get this girl, you can get married this year and have a grandson right away. How great."

Silly Zhu's face was filled with laughter as he heard it, as if he saw his wife and children having a hot bed, and his heart was burning.

"I'm in."

"Go quickly, Luo Suo."

After Si Zhu heard this, he walked into the restaurant. After Si Zhu left, the deaf old lady walked to another alley alone and gradually disappeared into the alley.

Silly Zhu walked into the noodle shop, looked at the menu on the wall, and mentally despised it. If he hadn't wanted to use this place for a blind date, he wouldn't have bothered to come.

Finding a place to sit down, Shazhu asked for tea and waited quietly.

He kept rubbing his palms on his pants, thinking about what he should say when the girl came.

After a while, two people came outside.

Silhu looked up and stood up immediately after seeing San Gu.

"Third aunt, you are here."

Then he looked at the girl behind San Gu.

Not tall, less than 1.6 meters, with a thin body, a pair of big eyes under glasses, cute double eyelids, a pretty face, and a bookish look, a bit like Yang Xiaotao's family.

I took a look and saw that the butt was not too small. Silly Zhu was very satisfied with it.

"He Yuzhu, are you here early?"

Sangu said hello, Shazhu shook his head quickly, "Just here, just here."

Third Gu stepped aside and said to the girl, "This is Comrade He Yuzhu. He works in the steel rolling mill and is a good cook."

The girl glanced at Silly Zhu. It was obviously her first blind date, and she lowered her head shyly.

Silly Zhu was even more happy to see him, it was nice to be shy.

"This is Comrade Ding Lanlan. You guys should get to know each other well."

Sangu said, signaling Shazhu to take the initiative.

Silly Zhu clasped his palms and said, "Hello, Comrade Ding Lanlan."

As he said that, he stretched out his hands. When the girl saw them, she also stretched out her hands to hold them together.

The little hands are very thin, but very soft.

Silly Zhu didn't want to let go of the handshake. Knowing that Ding Lanlan was pulling back, Silly Zhu smiled sheepishly and said, "Third aunt, Comrade Ding Lanlan, sit down quickly."

Silly Zhu greeted, and the three aunts sat down.

After a while, Silly Zhu ordered two dishes and three bowls of noodles. Although it was not noon yet, he had eaten little in the morning and his stomach was empty.

The three of them started to meet, and it was the third aunt who was talking about the family's personal problems, creating a topic for the two of them.

Silly Zhu ate the chopsticks and then looked at Ding Lanlan. The girl seemed to feel Silly Zhu's gaze, her ears were red, she just ate the noodles in small bites and nodded in response from time to time.

By the time Sangu finished eating, the two of them had eaten less than half.

The third aunt was rich in experience and left time for the two of them, then winked at Silly Zhu.

I've brought you the man, and it's up to you to see if you can do it.

Silly Zhu understood and thought that the things he had given away in the past few days were not in vain.

The third aunt stood up and said, "You two should get to know each other better. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

The girl was a little at a loss after hearing this. She wouldn't have dared to come if her third aunt hadn't led her. She was a little worried now.

The third aunt came over and saw the girl's nervousness at a glance, and quickly comforted her, "You, the boss is not young anymore. It's a good thing. If you have any requests, feel free to ask for it. He Yuzhu is still capable."

He patted the girl's hand and said, "Remember what I told you so that you can explain it to your father when you get home."

The girl listened and nodded silently.

Silly Zhu personally sent San Gu out of the door.

"Zhuzi, you have to keep an eye on me. If something happens, I won't be able to spare you."

"Come on, don't worry, I can't wait to protect her now."

"As long as you know, seize the opportunity. There are a lot of young men behind us. If you weren't diligent, such a good girl wouldn't have had your turn."

"I know, I know, thank you, Third Aunt, the coal price will only be much more then."

"Okay, let's go quickly."

Sangu walked away with a smile. Silly Zhu cheered up and walked in, sitting back in the distance.

Ding Lanlan was still eating noodles. Seeing this, Shazhu picked up the spoon, scooped up the egg marinade and poured it into Ding Lanlan's bowl.

"No, I can't eat anymore."

Ding Lanlan quickly declined. This meal cost a lot of money, so she felt that just eating a little would be enough.

"Why don't you use it? I've seen this too much with my eyes. You're like this because you're obviously not full, but you still say things that go against your will."

Silly Zhu said and took another spoonful.

"This, this thing is not cheap."

"Well, it's not cheap, and it's not expensive either. But it doesn't taste good. Come to my house another day and I'll make you authentic braised noodles."

Silly Zhu said indifferently, looking at the girl opposite him becoming more and more satisfied.

She cares about people and knows how to live a good life. Although she has lost a little weight, she still has to worry about food after following him?

It will definitely look good when you eat it.

"Are you a chef?"

"Ah, of course. If you ask anyone you want to know about the chefs in the canteen of the steel rolling mill, everyone will say that the food we cook is delicious."

"Also, when the leaders of the steel rolling mill entertain guests and distinguished guests, I do it myself."

Silly Zhu kept talking, and the girl's eyes showed admiration, which made Silly Zhu even more proud.

Gradually, starting from eating, the two of them communicated more and more.

Ding Lanlan also introduced her own situation. Her mother passed away at home, but her father is still alive and her job is fairly stable. She also has a younger brother who is in elementary school. She graduates from high school this year and does not plan to go to school. She wants to find a job and help the family make ends meet.

Shazhu heard that Ding Lanlan was a high school student and couldn't be more satisfied.

In this quadrangle, when it comes to education level, apart from the third uncle of the people's teachers, Yang Xiaotao and his family are the only ones. If he finds a high school wife, it will be doubly prestigious in the courtyard.

Looking at Ran Qiuye, one can tell that this educated woman is extraordinary.

"Then is there anyone in your family?"

Shazhu heard the question and picked up the tea bowl, "I have something going on at home, ugh."

Silly Zhu was in a depressed mood and spoke with sadness, which aroused the girl's sympathy.

"My mother, she left a long time ago. My father is not a fool either. He ran away with the widow a few years ago, leaving me and my sister."

As Silly Zhu said, the image of a worker with a miserable background but self-improvement appeared in the girl's mind. In her eyes, she felt that the man in front of her was very tall and worthy of reliance.

Silly Zhu can feel all of this.

Psychologically, I am more satisfied with the instructions of the deaf old lady.

Just saying things tactfully had such an effect.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.

"A few years ago, my sister also got married. I finally let go of my worries and stopped thinking about personal issues."

After Si Zhu finished speaking, he looked at Ding Lanlan with soft eyes.

The girl has long been impressed by Sha Zhu’s outstanding revolutionary spirit of ‘continuous self-improvement’, ‘unity and friendship’, and ‘brother is like father’. She looked at the tenderness in Sha Zhu’s eyes and blushed on her face.

"I, I think you are excellent."

"I'm afraid I'm not good enough for you."

Ding Lanlan's voice was very low, but it made waves in Shazhu's mind.

"No, no, no, you are a good match, no, I mean, I, we are a good match."

"I've always wanted to find a learned girl to be, um, a life partner."

"I just suffer from my lack of education. In the courtyard and in the factory, I am always being talked about and called Silly Zhu."

Silly Zhu said again, and a smile appeared on the girl's face.

At this moment, Shazhu only felt that peach blossoms were blowing against his face, and spring was coming.

The two talked for a while and ate until noon before leaving the noodle shop.

When leaving, Ding Lanlan took out the money given by her family, but Si Zhu grabbed her hand and refused to let her give the money.

Seeing the pile of money that Si Zhu took out, which were all big bills, Ding Lanlan suppressed her surprise in her heart.

The two walked outside, talking and laughing. Finally, Shazhu sent Ding Lanlan home and agreed to meet in the park tomorrow.

Feeling that his life-long event was about to be settled, Shazhu was satisfied and wanted to find someone to share it with.

Then I remembered the deaf old lady.

I quickly ran to the restaurant, searched around for a while, and finally found the deaf old lady in front of a garbage dump at the entrance of an alley.

"Old lady, what are you doing here?"

"old lady?"

Silly Zhu shouted twice, but the deaf old lady just sat dumbly, as if she didn't hear him.

Silly Zhu didn't care, walked over, picked up the deaf old lady, and walked towards the courtyard.
