For several days in a row, Xu Damao looked impatient.
That morning, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but kick Liu Guangqi: "Go, go and urge Xu Damao again. If he tries to fool us again today, make him refund the money!"
Today is a rare day off, so Liu Haizhong can finally find the time to urge them to finish this task.
“Dad, why don’t you come with me? Xu Damao doesn’t respect me at all. He always looks at me with a sideways glance when he talks to me.”
Liu Guangqi said indignantly.
Ever since I gave Xu Damao that twenty yuan, the initiative has been in Xu Damao's hands. Every time, he says, "Why rush it? This can't be rushed." But several days have passed, and there's still no definite answer.
Therefore, Liu Guangqi strongly suspected that Xu Damao was deliberately fooling him and was unwilling to introduce Lou Xiao'e to him.
"Hmph, I have to handle such a trivial matter!"
Liu Haizhong glanced at Liu Guangqi, then got up and walked into the courtyard.
"Keep up!"
And so, Liu Haizhong led Liu Guangqi straight to Xu Damao's house. Looking at the open door, they hesitated for a moment but did not go in directly.
"Thump thump thump, thump thump thump!"
"Xu Damao, come out here for a moment, I need to talk to you."
Liu Haizhong knocked on the door, and a moment later Xu Damao emerged from the house.
"What's wrong? I'm letting the air out of my child's tires!"
Let the air out?
Liu Guangqi was completely bewildered. He had heard of deflating bicycle tires and balloons, but this was the first time he had ever heard of deflating a child's tires.
Why is the child angry?
Liu Haizhong understood what he meant and frowned, saying, "Why don't you just leave this to your wife? Today is a day off, so go and make arrangements so that Guangqi can go on a blind date today."
"If you make any more excuses, you'll have to give us back the twenty dollars."
The two parties reached the agreement at a general meeting of the entire institute, so they were not afraid that Xu Damao would renege on the agreement.
"Ha, the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is. I'll go make another trip to the Lou family later!" Xu Damao said dismissively.
He was planning to go to the market to buy things anyway, so he used this excuse to fool Liu Haizhong.
As for blind dates.
My foot!
Xu Damao planned to write down Lou Xiao'e's home address for Liu Guangqi after buying groceries, so that the idiot Liu Guangqi could go to her house.
Given the Lou family's situation, they'll probably have to beat Liu Guangqi out.
"Hmph! I don't care what you do, Guangqi has to go on that blind date today. If you can't, you'll get your money back!"
Liu Haizhong was not as easily fooled as Liu Guangqi. After uttering some harsh words, he took Liu Guangqi home.
Xu Damao smiled as he stood at the door, then went back inside to deflate the child's chest.
You know what, this little kid is small but has a lot of farts; he can fart just by lifting his leg.
"Da Mao, why don't you give the money to Liu Haizhong?"
Hou Guifang said with some concern. Although she was a widow from the countryside, she had lived in the courtyard for so long and was quite familiar with the situation there.
This Liu Haizhong is not only a mid-level forging worker in the steel rolling mill, but also the steward of the courtyard. Apart from the Chen family and the deaf old lady, Liu Haizhong is not afraid of anyone.
Dealing with that couple would be quite easy.
Twenty yuan is a lot of money, but it feels a bit too hot to hold.
"Give me a damn thing, that's my medical expenses!" Xu Damao waved his hand dismissively. "I'll give them an explanation later. As for whether it works out or not, that's none of my business."
At the college-wide meeting, Xu Damao only agreed to help them make connections and give them an address, which could be considered a connection.
So, around 10 o'clock, Xu Damao rode his bicycle out, went to the vegetable market, and when he came back, he saw Liu Guangqi waiting at the gate of the courtyard again.
"You good-for-nothing."
Xu Damao snorted and, before Liu Guangqi could speak, tossed a note over.
"Here is the Lou family's address. You can go there directly this afternoon!"
Um?
Liu Guangqi was happy but also a little puzzled.
Should we go directly to the Lou family for a blind date?
Is this...is this appropriate?
"Xu Damao, you're not kidding me by going directly to their house for a blind date, are you?"
Xu Damao sized up Liu Guangqi, thinking to himself that the kid wasn't stupid after all, but on the surface he still said irritably, "What do you know! What kind of conditions does she have that she would come out to go on a blind date with you?"
“But, but didn’t she come to our courtyard house back then?” Liu Guangqi replied.
"What's your status? What's mine? How can we be the same?"
"What's different?" Liu Guangqi protested!
His father was the head steward of the courtyard house and a mid-level forging worker in the steel rolling mill; he was no match for Xu Damao.
"I'm the projectionist, what are you?"
Well, one sentence left Liu Guangqi speechless.
"Hmph, this address better be real!"
After saying that, Liu Guangqi went home to change his clothes.
"How did it go? Did Xu Damao get things done?"
As soon as he entered the house, Liu Haizhong asked a question.
"Okay, Dad, go and borrow a bicycle for me. I'll head over this afternoon."
"OK!"
Now that the matter had been settled, Liu Haizhong felt relieved and happily went to borrow a bicycle from Chen Jun.
Today happens to be a day off, and Chen Jun's bicycle is at home.
After briefly explaining the situation, Chen Jun readily let Liu Haizhong push the bicycle away.
Liu Guangqi tidied himself up neatly, and even applied some Stamina to his hair.
Even though he was wearing new clothes and riding a bicycle, Liu Guangqi still couldn't help but feel uneasy when he arrived at Lou's house.
This courtyard is absolutely wonderful.
Look at this gate, it's even bigger than the gate of a traditional courtyard house.
The entrance was spotless, without even a single weed.
Liu Guangqi paced back and forth at the door for more than ten minutes before finally mustering the courage to knock.
I don't know if the knocking was too soft, but it took several minutes before I heard any movement from inside.
Who is it?
It was the voice of a middle-aged man.
Liu Guangqi's heart tightened, and he subconsciously thought that Lou Bancheng had come to open the door.
Wow, this treatment is too good!
The woman came to the blind date herself, and her future father-in-law personally opened the door?
Just then, the courtyard gate opened from the inside, and Liu Guangqi saw a middle-aged man in his forties.
"Hello Uncle Lou, I'm Liu Guangqi!"
"I'm Mr. Lou's driver. What do you need Mr. Lou for?"
At this time, things were a bit off. Lou Bancheng usually didn't go out much. He would only go out to entertain guests or invite people to his home occasionally when he had business to attend to.
"I came here through an introduction to meet Miss Lou on a blind date," Liu Guangqi replied honestly.
He felt that the driver in front of him had a more imposing presence than his father, Liu Hai.
As expected of Lou Bancheng, even his driver is so capable.
If I really get a marriage certificate with Lou Xiao'e, can I also have this middle-aged man in front of me be my driver?
A blind date?
Hearing this, the driver's wariness lessened somewhat.
For the past year or so, Lou Bancheng has indeed been looking for a husband for Lou Xiao'e.
