At this time, Xu Damao, who had been carefully preparing for today, had no idea that he had become the backup plan that Lou Zhenhua and Tan Yali had found for their daughter, or maybe he wasn't even a backup plan.
Xu Damao, who only wanted to live off his wife, came into the house and bowed slightly to greet her: "Hello, Uncle Lou, Aunt Tan, this is a little gift from me."
Of course Xu Damao was the first to present the gift.
But Aunt Chen was used to seeing people bringing gifts to her house, and she had seen all kinds of good things. How could she possibly take a watermelon or some unclear fruit seriously?
After taking the gift, Aunt Chen habitually put it on the ground.
"Xiao Xu, please take a seat!" Tan Yali had something to ask, so her attitude was very kind.
From Lou Zhenhua to Tan Yali, neither of them looked at the watermelon seriously.
Xu Damao was well prepared. He knew this would be the result, and he immediately said, "Uncle Lou, you must try this watermelon and cherry tomato. They are not available anywhere else in the country. They are new varieties. The watermelon is very sweet, and the seeds are very small. The cherry tomatoes are even more amazing. They have been on the front page of the newspaper..."
Lou Zhenhua naturally reads the newspaper. He is very sensitive now, fearing that one day he will be gone and all his property will be confiscated.
As soon as Xu Damao said this, he immediately remembered the news on the front page of a newspaper he had read not long ago, saying that Zeng Wangcai had bred a new variety of tomatoes.
At that time, the newspaper reports did not use space to introduce Zeng Wangcai. Lou Zhenhua even told Tan Yali that he didn't know whether this Zeng Wangcai was Xu Damao's neighbor Zeng Wangcai.
Now the small tomato appeared in Xu Damao's hand, and Lou Zhenhua immediately confirmed that this was made by Zeng Wangcai.
After thinking about this, Lou Zhenhua was very confused. How did being a soldier get involved with crops?
After being confused, he was shocked again. People at his level see things more deeply than ordinary people. He knows that people who make the front page headlines of newspapers are born with certain attributes. With this attribute, they are much more likely to overcome problems in the future.
He was a little excited. It turned out that Zeng Wangcai not only knew some important people, but was also very powerful himself.
"Xiao Xu, now that I remember what you said, it was reported in the newspaper that Zeng Wangcai bred it." Lou Zhenhua deliberately told Tan Yali the news and said, "This is beyond my expectation. I didn't expect that there is such a talent among Xiao Xu's neighbors. Did he also breed this watermelon?"
"Yes, yes, yes, he also raised it. It's so sweet!"
"Then let's really try it!" Lou Zhenhua winked at Tan Yali.
Tan Yali understood and stood up and said, "So it's really precious. I'll go get it and let Xiao E have a taste."
Xu Damao naturally hoped that Lou Xiaoe could have a taste of it so as to add points to his impression.
After a while, the watermelon was cut and the cherry tomatoes were washed. Aunt Chen brought some over, while Tan Yali took some upstairs.
"Yeah, it's really sweet!" Lou Zhenhua took a bite of the watermelon and praised sincerely, "This watermelon is sweeter than all the other watermelons I've eaten."
"Please try this cherry tomato!" Xu Damao was very happy to see that Lou Zhenhua liked it.
Lou Zhenhua ate the watermelon, then the cherry tomatoes, and continued to praise.
In fact, Lou Zhenhua's praise was a bit exaggerated. He was a wealthy man and had eaten all kinds of delicious food. Even in this year's environment, it had no effect on him.
His slightly exaggerated praise was actually a foreshadowing of what he was going to say next.
Meanwhile, upstairs.
Tan Yali entered Lou Xiao'e's boudoir carrying some fruits. Lou Xiao'e glanced at the watermelon but was not interested in it as she usually had nothing to lack.
"Mom, I don't want to eat!" Lou Xiao'e turned her head and continued reading.
"Take a bite, the watermelon is delicious. Mom has something to tell you!" Tan Yali did not introduce the watermelon or Zeng Wangcai. "Tomorrow your dad and I want to visit Xu Damao's house. You can come with us."
Lou Xiao'e just took a bite of watermelon and immediately spit it out: "What are you doing? Why are you pulling me? I said, I don't want to marry him."
She knew that her parents were choosing a husband for her. She didn't like Xu Damao. Instead, she had some feelings for Zeng Wangcai, whom she had only met once, but she had no say at home.
Tan Yali didn't want to say much to her daughter before the matter was settled, so she deliberately put on a stern face and said, "You're not going on a blind date, you're doing business. Don't you think the watermelon is different? And this tomato, have you seen it?"
Lou Xiao'e tasted it and found it was indeed sweet, so she ate the watermelon and the cherry tomatoes at the same time.
After comparison, she actually had a special liking for cherry tomatoes, thinking they were delicious and convenient.
After eating the new fruit, Lou Xiao'e was convinced that her parents were going to the Siheyuan to do some serious business, and she agreed to go with them tomorrow.
Tan Yali put down the remaining cherry tomatoes and walked downstairs leisurely.
Downstairs, Lou Zhenhua chatted with Xu Damao for a long time. His attitude was kind and friendly, which made Xu Damao think that he was being favored.
But Lou Zhenhua suddenly changed the subject: "Xiao Xu, who is your neighbor Zeng Wangcai? How come he is so capable of creating new crops? I remember you said he joined the army."
"He is really awesome!" Xu Damao hadn't realized the problem yet. "He served in the army and made great contributions in farming. Anyway, I think he will move out sooner or later."
On this issue, Xu Damao's opinion is somewhat similar to Yi Zhonghai's. Both of them think that Zeng Wangcai is not someone who can be kept within the Siheyuan.
Lou Zhenhua asked a few more questions about the fruit and inquired about Zeng Wangcai's situation in a roundabout way, but did not arouse Xu Damao's suspicion.
When Lou Zhenhua heard that Zeng Wangcai and Zhang Xiuzhi were arranged as a marriage by the older generation, he immediately felt that his wife was wise.
