Xu Damao's eyes lit up. "Oh, Jiecheng, are you talking about your sister-in-law? I saw that girl when she came to your house last time. She's really pretty, so lively and charming, and she has a great personality too."
Yan Jiecheng chuckled, "That's right, I think my Uncle Bao and he are a good match."
Yu Li rolled her eyes at Yan Jiecheng, "Don't worry about it. Uncle Dabao said he wants to focus on his work first. Maybe he already has someone he likes."
“I agree with what Yu Li said.”
Xu Damao, who was squatting nearby, moved closer to Yu Li, which displeased Yan Jiecheng.
Xu Damao didn't care at all and continued, "Putting everything else aside, with Da Bao's looks and his qualities, he's bound to have girls who like him. Yu Li is right, maybe they're dating."
“I’m different. I’m always showing movies in the countryside, and I don’t even have a chance to meet girls.”
Xu Damao licked his dry lips as he smelled the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes. "Yu Li, look at my conditions, aren't they good? I'm a projectionist, one of the eight major positions. You couldn't find a job like this even with a lantern. I'm sure I won't have to worry about food and drink, and my monthly salary is quite good. The key is that I also have this."
As he spoke, Xu Damao rubbed his hands together in front of Yu Li.
"I can earn some extra money here. Any woman who follows me will never have to worry about food, drink, or clothing. In my opinion, why don't you introduce Haitang to me!"
Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, Yan Jiecheng was immediately stunned.
They're chatting about introducing someone to Uncle Da Bao, what business is it of yours, Xu Damao?
"Hey, Xu Damao, you were just following my dad around trying to find out about the female teacher, and now you're trying to make a move on my sister? You can't do this."
Yu Li was displeased when she heard this. "I'll tell my dad about this later and see how he criticizes you."
Actually, if it weren't for Wang Dabao, Xu Damao would have been a pretty good choice.
But what can be done when Wang Dabao's masterpiece comes first?
After seeing Wang Dabao, the couple found Xu Damao extremely displeasing.
You say Xu Damao is no match for him in terms of looks.
In terms of character, Xu Damao is the worst.
Comparing jobs?
A few days ago, Wang Dabao had already hinted that he was going to work in the security department of the steel rolling mill. Now, Xu Damao, the projectionist, wouldn't be as popular with this couple anymore.
Although neither of them has a proper job, it doesn't stop them from being quite something.
"No, you can't say that."
When Xu Damao heard that Yu Li was going to complain to Yan Bugui, he was a little embarrassed. "First of all, I didn't see the female teacher, but I saw our sister very clearly. And there's Yu Li and you two, right? We know each other very well."
Yu Li really wanted to say, "It's precisely because I know you so well that I don't like you."
"Here's what we'll do: we'll show a movie in the courtyard tonight. You can call your sister over. If she and Da Bao hit it off, then pretend I never said anything. If she takes a liking to me, then you two should go to the trouble of being my matchmaker. I promise you two won't be treated badly."
Xu Damao stretched his neck and said it readily.
"Putting everything else aside, I'll start a business for you two this noon. I'll buy some roasted sweet potatoes."
Yu Li glanced at Xu Damao: "Xu Damao, that's enough. My sister isn't even allowed to come over. Besides, you think you can get me to betray my sister just because you bought some sweet potatoes? You're overthinking it."
“Yes, that’s right,” Yan Jiecheng chimed in from the side.
Xu Damao sighed: "How can you say that? What do you mean by selling sweet potatoes and betraying your sister? That's not a nice thing to say."
"Let me analyze this for you two. Da Bao has already clearly refused to be introduced to anyone, right? I advise you to give up on that idea as soon as possible. Da Bao is a man of principle; he has his own ideas."
"Your sister isn't young anymore, is she? She'll be of marriageable age in the next couple of years. What kind of person do you think she'll find then?!"
"How could she find someone with my qualifications?"
Xu Damao snorted: "Putting everything else aside, we have a house and a car. Although the bicycle is from the factory, it's the same as mine. We can't be picky about jobs either. And looking at our appearance, apart from Da Bao, and even including your Yan Jiecheng in this compound, who is better looking than me?!"
Upon hearing Xu Damao say that he was better looking than him, Yan Jiecheng's eyelids drooped, and he simply ignored him.
With Xu Damao's big donkey face, he still has the nerve to compare his looks with others? It's laughable!
However, Xu Damao's words did hit the nail on the head for Yu Li.
Yu Li thought about it for a moment and realized that Xu Damao's words made some sense. No matter how her sister looked for a partner, could she find someone with Xu Damao's qualities?
Wang Dabao was the first choice, but they have already clearly declined.
Xu Damao's qualifications are good, but he has many flaws.
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Li said, "Xu Damao, I need to think about what you've said. As for my sister, it depends on whether she's free tonight."
Yan Jiecheng was taken aback. He tugged at Yu Li's sleeve and whispered, "Wife, are we really going to introduce Haitang to him?"
Yu Li turned her head and glared at her husband, as if to say, "I'm just trying to calm him down first."
While the three people on one side were having a lively discussion, Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong, and Wang Dabao were also chatting over there.
Sha Zhu got angrier and angrier at home, so he decided to go out for a walk to clear his head.
As soon as he stepped outside, he ran into Yi Zhonghai, who was walking out wearing a coat.
"Uncle Yi, please get out of here."
"It's Zhu Zi, I'm going to the restroom, what are you doing there?"
"I'm fine too." Sha Zhu smacked his lips. "I'm at home because of the rain, and I ate lunch a long time ago. I'm just taking a walk to clear my head."
Yi Zhonghai nodded and was about to walk towards the front yard.
"Alright, let's go together."
Sha Zhu thought it would be a good opportunity to take a stroll around the front yard with Yi Zhonghai while he went to the toilet, and see what these people were up to.
Upon reaching the front yard, the two saw Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li, and Xu Damao cricketing around a stove.
Meanwhile, Wang Dabao, Yan Bugui, and Liu Haizhong, father and son, were sitting on the windowsill, basking in the sun.
Sha Zhu walked forward with his head down, but then he heard someone call his name.
"Hey, Sha Zhu, I'm talking to you, why are you pretending not to hear me?" Liu Guangtian said loudly on purpose, "We're about to start cleaning, and you still have the mind to go out for a stroll?"
"It's none of your business."
Sha Zhu turned around and retorted, "What did Second Uncle just say? Can't you learn from your dad? If you ask me, you're not even worthy to carry your brother Liu Guangqi's shoes."
Yi Zhonghai greeted Wang Dabao, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui, gestured towards the toilet, and hurried away.
Sha Zhu followed them toward the main gate.
However, what Sha Zhu said really resonated with Liu Haizhong. He thought the same thing: the second and third sons in the family weren't even worthy of carrying the eldest son's shoes.
"Zhu Zi, what's this about Guang Tian cleaning up the place?"
As they stepped outside, Yi Zhonghai frowned and asked a question.
Sha Zhu immediately explained the situation, which angered Yi Zhonghai so much that he glared at Sha Zhu and pointed at him without saying a word for a long time.
