Scholars in the courtyard

"Hello, my name is Lou Xiao'e!"

Feeling the soft little hands, this was the first time Yang Xiaotao came to this world and held a girl's hand.

Soft and warm, he didn't dare to exert force.

Lou Xiao'e also felt the roughness of her big hands and the heat from the contact.

Tolerant, tolerant, and with a sense of security that I have never felt before.

The third aunt saw that the two of them never let go of their hands, and she knew in her heart that this was going to happen.

"You two get to know each other well. I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you."

As Sangu said, the two of them quickly let go of their hands, their faces feeling a little hot.

Lou Xiao'e lowered her head, put her hands behind her back, and kept grinding the grass on the ground with her small leather shoes.

Yang Xiaotao reacted, "Third aunt, please make a trip. Don't worry, I will send Xiao'e back."

When Sangu heard this, she called Xiao'e, and her face was even more happy.

"Okay, you guys haven't eaten yet, so hurry up and find a place to eat."

As he said this, he winked at Yang Xiaotao and asked him to seize the opportunity.

Yang Xiaotao understood and gave a reassuring look.

Sangu came over with a smile, Yang Xiaotao stood in front of Lou Xiao'e, and the two fell into silence for a while.

"Um, um. Your name is Xiao'e, and my name is Xiaotao. We are quite destined."

Poof

"Hahaha"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Lou Xiao'e laughed. This was the funniest opening she had ever heard.

"You are the little one, but I am the Xiao who sleeps in spring, and I am not the same one!"

Lou Xiao'e said with a smile, but Yang Xiaotao retorted, "Why are they different? Isn't the pinyin both Xiao?"

"That can't be said to be fate. There are so many Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong on the road. How come we are the only two who are destined?"

"Yes, there are many people named Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong, but aren't the only ones we can meet are you and me?"

"quibble!"

"That's true!"

The two of them talked and started walking around in the park.

"I heard that you like reading books?"

Lou Xiao'e asked, because Yang Xiaotao has a bookish air about him, which is different from other workers, making him look very quiet.

"Yes, I have a lot of books at home!"

"Then what kind of movies do you like to watch?"

"I like them all, it doesn't matter what I focus on. I'll be watching mechanical stuff recently to recharge my batteries!"

"Charge?"

"Well, it's just to supplement myself with knowledge."

"Oh, what you say is so interesting."

"Ha ha"

The two walked in the garden for a while, both telling each other about their situations.

This era is not like that of later generations, where people would ask how much money they have, whether they have a house or a car, as in later generations. They are not so materialistic, but more about imagining the future and yearning for a better life.

Sitting on the bench in the park, Yang Xiaotao took out the toffee he had prepared, peeled one open and gave it to Lou Xiaoe.

This intimate act made Lou Xiao'e's face turn red, but she picked it up and put it in her mouth.

Although it was not the first time she had eaten candy, this time it made her feel very sweet.

"Are you a second-level fitter? Is the work very tiring?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Fitter work is not only a technical job, but also requires a lot of physical strength to support it."

"So you guys have rough hands."

"Haha, of course, a fitter with nice hands is definitely not a good fitter."

"By the way, what about you? What kind of work do you do?"

Yang Xiaotao remembered that in the TV series in her previous life, Lou Xiao'e had always been a housewife at home, but she didn't know whether it was because she had never had a job or she stopped working after getting married.

Lou Xiao'e lowered her head after hearing this, "My dad said that I am still young and not in a hurry to work."

The voice was very low, obviously the reason was not sufficient.

"Still young? How old are you?"

Yang Xiaotao asked without thinking much.

"Well, almost eighteen."

"Huh? You're not of age yet? Then why are you here on a blind date?"

Yang Xiaotao was surprised, and the words "starting in three years, reaching the highest goal" came to his mind.

"What? It's my birthday soon. I'll be eighteen after my birthday."

"Oh, oh, that's good, that's good."

Yang Xiaotao calmed down and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be no such harsh criminal laws at this time. It seemed that many men and women in rural areas got married at the age of 16 or 17.

"That's good, that's good."

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e said mischievously, "What's so good about that?"

As a person from later generations, Yang Xiaotao, what words have you not heard?

Looking at Lou Xiao'e, her eyes were full of love.

Yes, it is love.

Before meeting Lou Xiao'e, Yang Xiaotao would consider many things.

But after meeting today, he felt that he had found his other half.

This feeling is very strong.

Facing Yang Xiaotao's unabashed gaze, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him.

Yang Xiaotao stretched out his hand to hold Lou Xiao'e's catkin. For a moment, Lou Xiao'e wanted to pull it out, but she didn't have the strength to support this action.

"H-How could he do this? He's just trying to be a hooligan."

Lou Xiao'e kept cheering herself up in her heart and tried to pull out her hand, but she couldn't.

It was obvious that the other party was not using any force.

Is it the truest thought in my heart?

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e threw all her mother's instructions behind her and only wanted to hear the other party's answer.

"That way, I can marry you as my wife."

Yang Xiaotao's decisive answer made Lou Xiaoe happy.

At this moment, she knew that she also fell in love with this big boy.

Although it was only the first time they met, and although she was still thinking about her mother's instructions, at this moment, she really fell in love.

The book says it's love at first sight, maybe that's it.

Even though she is just a little girl.

After speaking her mind, Lou Xiao'e became generous again, but she took her hand out.

In this era, there is still a lot of taboo between men and women.

Before getting married, many men and women in love would keep a distance, even if they were walking on the road, they would stay two meters apart.

However, the feeling between the two was more subtle.

After another conversation, at noon, Yang Xiaotao proposed to have dinner.

Lou Xiao'e didn't refuse. Although she didn't come from a wealthy family, she had been to all the places where she could eat in Forty-Nine Cities, so she didn't have any objections to where to eat.

Yang Xiaotao and Lou Xiao'e had a meal in a small restaurant. Although it was only a small restaurant, the food was very real, including two meat dishes and one porridge, and the two of them drank a little wine.

This also allowed Yang Xiaotao to know more about Lou Xiaoe.

Through this meal and Yang Xiaotao's introduction to his family, Lou Xiao'e also found that Yang Xiaotao had a very open-minded attitude towards life.

What she fears most is that she will worry about everything in the future, and check everything.

At least, they have the same outlook on life.

I once again gave Yang Xiaotao a little red flower in my heart.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao sent Lou Xiaoe back.

As a former big capitalist and businessman, even if he handed over the steel rolling mill and other enterprises after the founding of New China, he was still a skinny camel bigger than a horse.

The place where the Lou family lives now is a separate apartment.

When I arrived at the apartment, the big iron door was closed.

Lou Xiao'e stood at the door, and Yang Xiaotao was right in front of her.

"Won't you come up?"

Lou Xiao'e said, feeling a little hesitant in her heart, and she didn't know why she said it.

Yang Xiaotao looked up at the sky, then at the apartment, shook his head and said.

"Today is too busy. I will take some things to visit my uncle and aunt when I have a rest next week."

"Well, I'll go find you next Saturday!"

"No, just stay in the park. We'll see you there or not."

Yang Xiaotao didn't want Lou Xiao'e to arrive at the courtyard so early, so he had to be on guard against others and be prepared.

"Okay, see you there or see you."

Watching Lou Xiao'e approach the door, and then the door slowly closed, Yang Xiaotao turned around and went home.

In Lou's house, in front of the window of the small building, a plump young woman was lying on the window like a detective, looking at the two people outside the door, and then she saw her daughter walking in the door with a smile on her face.

Da da da

There was a sound of footsteps, and Lou's mother walked downstairs and looked at Lou Xiao'e who entered the room.

Walking forward, he looked around, then took his daughter's hand and sat on the sofa.

"Xiao'e, tell mom."

"What are you talking about?"

Lou Xiao'e lowered her head in embarrassment. Seeing this, Lou's mother still didn't know what her daughter was thinking.

"Of course I mean the person who sent you back."

"How did you two talk about it? Did you like it?"

"You talk to mom, she will give you some advice, and then let your dad find out."

Lou Xiao'e also knew that sooner or later this matter would have to be explained to her family, so she immediately told Lou's mother the story of today's blind date.

"Worker in the steel rolling mill? Let your dad investigate this."

"Three generations of poor farmers do meet our family's requirements."

"Xiao'e, tell mom whether you like it or not."

Lou's mother asked curiously, but Lou Xiao'e raised her head and said, "Mom, I think it's okay."

Lou's mother had an idea.

In the evening, Lou's mother told Lou's father about today's blind date. Lou's father also had an impression of Yang Xiaotao and planned to ask someone to investigate.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao woke up refreshed, finished his meal, and went to work.

The three aunts in the front yard saw her and happily came forward to say hello.

"Xiao Tao, how was the blind date yesterday? Is it done?"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and replied, "It's not bad."

Without saying much, he walked towards the steel rolling mill.

Yang Xiaotao started working here, and the publicity director also began to inquire about Yang Xiaotao's situation.

He had some interactions with Lou's father on weekdays, so he was entrusted to handle this matter.

Xu Damao did not go to the countryside today. Ever since he took over Lao Xu's job, he has completely fallen in love with this job as a projectionist.

Not only can he go to the countryside and see a lot of things, he can also make some extra money, and even some young girls will surround him.

If it weren't for the close attention of his parents and those young widows, he would have gotten rid of his boyhood long ago.

"Director, you are so anxious, why are you going?"

Xu Damao looked at the director who was asking questions and the one who was listening, approaching and leaving, so he asked.

When the director saw Xu Damao, he immediately patted his head.

"Tell me, why did I forget this?"

The director patted his head and remembered that Yang Xiaotao and Xu Damao were neighbors, right?

"Xu Damao, I want to ask you something."

"Director, feel free to ask."

"Well, how is Yang Xiaotao in your courtyard?"

"Yang Xiaotao?"

When Xu Damao heard this, he murmured in his heart and asked him what he was doing.

I wanted to say something bad, but couldn't figure out the situation, so I tried to ask.

"Director, why are you asking about him?"

The director didn't hide anything, "Isn't this sensible daughter of Lou the one he's dating? She heard about me and asked me to ask?"

"Lou is sensible? Which Lou is sensible?"

Xu Damao panicked when he heard this, but the director said angrily, "Who else? It's Lou Dongshi from our factory, the former Lou Bancheng!"

"What?"

"Are you talking about Lou Xiao'e? Are you dating Yang Xiaotao?"

"Yes, Lou Dong's daughter is in a relationship with Yang Xiaotao. You don't want to know about me anymore."

Xu Damao didn't listen at all. There was only one voice in his mind, that is, the woman he longed for and Yang Xiaotao were getting together.

"My wife is gone!"
