Chapter 665 Xu Damao wants to go on a blind date again 8
Xu Damao sat in the old but warm house, listening to his father's words. He agreed with his father's words and nodded repeatedly. His expression was serious, as if he was talking about something extremely important. He cleared his throat and said in a clear voice: "Dad, you are right. The more I saw that girl today, the more I found her attractive. You don't know, she looks so pretty, with delicate features, and her facial features are like carefully carved works of art, which is very pleasing to the eye. Moreover, she is also very kind-hearted. I am with her. When she was chatting, I felt that she was gentle and soft-spoken, which made people feel comfortable. The most important thing is that we have a lot of common topics, whether it is talking about interesting things in the world or talking about small details in life, we always talk back and forth, and we can't stop at all. I feel from the bottom of my heart that we can get along well. In addition, her family members are also very nice. When I visited her, they were very warm to me, serving tea and water, and asking about my health, just like a family member. I feel that this time, I really met the right person. "
The mother was standing aside, listening to her son's words praising the girl. She smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits, and her mouth couldn't close. The wrinkles on her face seemed to be smoothed out by the joy in her heart. She hurriedly came forward, took Xu Damao's hand, and said lovingly: "Damo, if you really get married, then mother will be completely relieved. Look at you, you are not young anymore, you should have found a wife and settled down. Just think about it, when you get married, our family will be lively, and there will be laughter and joy echoing in this house every day. How lively it will be. By then, mother will be able to hold her grandson in her arms, and take her grandson to the yard to bask in the sun every day, and tell him those old stories. Those days are beautiful just to think about."
When Xu Damao heard his mother mention the grandson, his face immediately flushed with embarrassment, and his smile was a bit shy. He scratched his head subconsciously and said shyly: "Mom, you are too anxious. We have just started to meet, and we haven't even started yet, but you are thinking about holding a grandson. This matter needs to be done slowly, right?"
Dad watched the interaction between the mother and son and couldn't help laughing. He gently patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said with a serious smile: "Your mother is looking forward to your well-being, Damao. But let's talk about serious things. If you really become the son-in-law of the Lou family, you must treat the girl well. You can't be like before, being so dishonest all day and making a fuss. If the girl follows you, you have to take responsibility and love her well, understand?"
When Xu Damao heard this, he immediately put away his slightly shy look, and his face became extremely serious, as if he was making a solemn oath. He straightened his chest and said firmly: "Dad, don't worry, I know. This time I am different from before. I am sincere. I will definitely treat her well and hold her like a treasure in my hand. I will also work hard and make more money so that she can live a good life with me and don't have to worry about the trivial things in life. I will definitely make her happy every day."
The family chatted happily, the warm atmosphere seemed like a soft veil, covering the whole house, and the joyful mood continued to spread in this small space. Xu Damao felt so happy in his heart, as if he had eaten honey, and there was an irrepressible smile on the corner of his mouth. He leaned back in his chair, tilted his head slightly, and kept thinking about the scene of meeting the girl from the Lou family today, thinking about the girl's beautiful smile, thinking about the interesting words they talked about, and his heart was full of expectations and longings for the future, as if he had already seen the beautiful days he and the girl would walk hand in hand.
Just as this warm atmosphere was lingering in the house and the family was talking about Xu Damao's blind date, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the yard. The laughter was like a series of crisp bell sounds, floating over the slightly quiet courtyard, instantly attracting Xu Damao's attention. Xu Damao's heart was already filled with the possibility of a beautiful marriage, and when he heard this cheerful voice, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. He quickly stood up from the chair, walked to the door in two steps, poked his head slightly, and looked into the yard curiously.
Oh, you don't know until you see it. It turns out that the neighbors are gathered together to chat and joke. Everyone's face is filled with relaxed smiles, and you talk to me. The scene is so lively. Xu Damao looked at this happy scene, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He thought that it was a great thing that he met such a good girl on the blind date today. How can it be more fun to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone? Such a happy thing should be shared with everyone.
Thinking of this, Xu Damao's smile deepened. He turned around and walked quickly to the table, reaching out to pick up the package of snacks that had been prepared long ago. The wrapping paper of the snacks looked quite delicate, and it was slightly shiny in the sun, as if it was reflecting Xu Damao's happy mood at the moment. After picking up the snacks, Xu Damao walked out happily with a brisk pace, humming a tuneless little song.
As soon as he walked into the yard, his smiling face instantly blossomed into an even brighter smile, his eyes narrowed into slits. He cleared his throat, deliberately raised his voice, and said to everyone with a smile: "Oh, you are all here, it's really lively. Today, I have great news to tell you all, I'm sure you will be happy to hear it."
When everyone heard the good news, their curiosity was immediately aroused. As if they were under a spell, they stopped what they were doing, and did not bother to continue chatting and joking. They quickly gathered around Xu Damao, like a group of stars surrounding the moon. Everyone looked at each other with curiosity in their eyes, and then asked in unison: "What good news is this, Xu Damao, did you find a treasure? Tell us quickly, don't keep us in suspense."
Xu Damao looked at the eager and curious faces of the group, and he was so proud of himself. He laughed first, and the hearty laughter echoed in the yard. Then he deliberately said slowly: "Of course, I went on a blind date today. You don't know that the girl is so popular. She is so beautiful, with her eyebrows and temperament. It's hard to take your eyes off her. Moreover, she has a good personality and a kind heart. When I talked to her, I found that we have a lot of common topics, and we got along very well. I was thinking in my heart that I think this thing will work out in nine out of ten cases!"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they all burst into laughter. There was teasing and blessing in the laughter. Some neighbors laughed and joked: "Xu Damao, you, don't forget your past. Every time you were very enthusiastic at the beginning, but it died down after a few days. Don't let it be three days of enthusiasm again this time. If the girl follows you, you must treat her well and don't mess around anymore."
Xu Damao was not angry after hearing this. He knew that everyone was concerned about him, so he still had that bright smile on his face and responded with a smile: "Oh, you can rest assured. This time I am different from before. I am serious from the bottom of my heart. I have thought about it. When this is done, I will definitely treat you to wedding candy, so that you can also share in the joy."
Just like that, the news about Xu Damao's blind date spread quickly in this not-too-small courtyard, just like it had wings. When everyone got together, they all talked about it. Some of them muttered blessings, hoping that Xu Damao could really achieve his goal this time and live a happy life; others couldn't help but make a few jokes, thinking about waiting to see how this matter would develop. The whole courtyard was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and expectation, as if the air was filled with a sweet smell.
Xu Damao was extremely happy. He stood in the yard, listening to everyone's discussions. He had long been looking forward to meeting the girl from the Lou family again. He looked up at the blue sky and began to plan a better life in the future. He was thinking about which fun places to take the girl to and what kind of surprises to prepare for her. The smile on his face never faded.
In this small steel mill, news spread like wildfire. It didn't take long for many colleagues in the factory to know about Xu Damao's blind date with Lou Bancheng's daughter. For a while, everyone was talking about it in every corner of the factory. The scene was really lively.
"Have you heard? That kid Xu Damao actually went on a blind date with Lou Bancheng's daughter!" A worker was seen with excitement on his face, and his eyes were shining with a different light, as if he had discovered some earth-shattering news. As he spoke, he excitedly pulled the corner of the clothes of his colleague who was about to go to work, and he couldn't wait to share the news. His expression seemed as if this matter was more exciting than any good thing that had happened to him.
When the colleague who was being pulled over heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared on his face, his eyes widened like bells, and there was a gleam of curiosity in his eyes. He hurried forward and asked anxiously, "Really? Lou Bancheng was a well-known rich man here before. He was well-known in this area. His family must be very wealthy. His daughter must be a golden branch and jade leaf. She must have been raised in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and she had everything she wanted. How did Xu Damao get this marriage? This is so unexpected. Come on, tell me, what else do you know?"
At this time, a worker who was usually well-informed and knew some inside information came over mysteriously. He first looked around carefully, and after making sure that there was no one around who shouldn't be listening, he lowered his voice and whispered, "I heard that it was Xu Damao's relatives who acted as middlemen. You can imagine that a person like Lou Bancheng must have been very cautious in choosing a partner for his daughter. After much selection, he finally chose Xu Damao's honesty and diligence. I guess he thought that this young man looked down-to-earth and reliable, and that he was someone who people could trust their daughter to, so he agreed to let his daughter go on a blind date with him."
After hearing this, several workers nearby looked at each other with various expressions on their faces. One of them couldn't help smacking his lips and said with envy, "Oh, Xu Damao is so lucky now. If he really becomes Lou Bancheng's son-in-law, his future life will be like a cheat. He will be very successful. We poor workers work so hard in the factory every day and earn so little money. We can't compare with him. He may live in a big house, drive a car and live a good life in the future. It's so envious just to think about it."
However, at this time, a worker also frowned and expressed his own opinion. He shook his head slightly and said thoughtfully: "But then again, Xu Damao is usually quite flamboyant. His personality is sometimes a bit noisy, and he likes to show off when doing things. It's hard to say whether this blind date will be successful. Lou Bancheng's daughter is definitely not a simple person. She grew up in such a family. Her vision and knowledge must be extraordinary. It's hard to say whether she will like Xu Damao. Maybe the girl doesn't like his style at all. Let's wait and see what happens next."
After hearing this, the other colleagues all nodded, thinking that there was some truth in it, and they began to discuss it again. Everyone expressed his or her own views on the matter, and the lively discussions lingered in the steel mill for a long time.
"That's right, and I heard that Lou Bancheng's family has a lot of rules. With Xu Damao's personality, it's still a question whether he can adapt to them." Someone echoed.
"Anyway, Xu Damao has a chance this time. Let's wait and see if he can really climb up this high branch." An older worker concluded.
Everyone nodded, expressing their anticipation and curiosity about this matter. Xu Damao and Lou Bancheng's daughter's blind date became the hottest topic in the steel mill for a while. Everyone was guessing what the result would be, and some secretly envied Xu Damao's good luck.
