Chapter 666 Xu Damao wants to go on a blind date again 9
At noon that day, the warm sunlight poured down from the sky like broken gold, and fell unreservedly on the slightly rough ground of the factory. The originally monotonous gray ground became vivid in an instant under the caress of the sun, forming patches of mottled light and shadow, as if it was a natural art scroll with traces of time. The light and shadow swayed gently with the breeze, as if telling the ordinary story of this factory day after day.
Xu Damao was in a particularly good mood, walking towards the factory cafeteria as usual, humming a tuneless tune and taking brisk steps like jumping notes. Along the way, he greeted the workers passing by enthusiastically from time to time, and the bright smile never disappeared from his face, as if there was some great joy today.
When we arrived at the cafeteria, it was already crowded and bustling. The aroma of various dishes intertwined and spread in the air, making people's stomachs itch. Xu Damao skillfully shuttled through the line of people getting food, and soon brought the freshly prepared food, which was still steaming. The wisps of hot air rose up, carrying the unique and tempting aroma of the food, and went straight into people's noses. Just by smelling it, people seemed to be able to imagine the wonderful taste.
When he found a good seat and just sat down, the corner of his eye was like a sharp antenna, and he caught a glimpse of two figures walking slowly not far away. He subconsciously raised his eyes and took a closer look. It turned out to be the prestigious uncle Yi Zhonghai and the second uncle Liu Haizhong in the factory. They were each holding a plate, and the food on the plate was also full. As they walked, the plates swayed slightly, as if they were following the rhythm of the owner's steps. As they walked, they exchanged glances from time to time. There seemed to be some deep meaning in the eyes, just like two people with a common secret, silently communicating some plan, revealing a mysterious energy that was hard to fathom.
When the two approached, they looked at each other. The moment their eyes met, it was as if an invisible electric current passed through them. Then they smiled teasingly at the same time, with the corners of their mouths slightly raised, and walked straight to Xu Damao and sat down. This sitting was like throwing two stones into a calm lake, instantly breaking the quiet atmosphere around Xu Damao.
Yi Zhonghai was the first to break the silence. On his weather-beaten face, the traces of time were clearly visible. The wrinkles seemed to be engraved by time, and each one contained a story from the past. At this moment, he had a half-smile on his face. In that smile, there was both the intimacy of an elder to a younger one and a hint of joking. He said slowly, "Da Mao, recently there have been rumors everywhere in our factory about your blind date with Lou Bancheng's daughter! This matter has spread like wildfire, from one workshop to another, from one end to the other, and almost everyone is talking about it! Tell me, how far has this matter developed? You have to tell me in detail." As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes full of curiosity, waiting for Xu Damao to reveal it.
Hearing this, Xu Damao's originally calm face instantly flushed with a faint blush, like a ripe apple. The blush spread from his cheeks little by little, and even his ears were stained with a faint red, as if they were gently brushed by the sunset in the sky. He shyly stretched out his right hand and scratched the back of his head, his fingers shuttled through his hair. The action was a little awkward and embarrassed, but deep in his heart he couldn't help the urge to share. That feeling was like holding a treasure in his arms. He wanted to hide it carefully, but he couldn't help but want to take it out and show it off in front of everyone. Don't mention how tangled his heart was. Various emotions intertwined in his heart, making him not know where to start.
Therefore, Xu Damao's originally slightly upturned corners of the mouth now rose even more, and slowly blossomed into a slightly complacent smile, which seemed to hide endless joy, and seemed to reveal an irresistible desire to show off. He cleared his throat, and his voice was a little light, and responded: "Hey, uncle, I didn't expect that even you heard about it! Hehehe..." He first let out a series of dry laughs, and the laughter seemed particularly clear in the slightly noisy environment of the cafeteria, revealing his inner pride at the moment. "Actually, the progress is quite smooth at the moment." As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, and the expression on his face became more and more happy.
"I have met that girl several times," Xu Damao raised his head slightly, his eyes gleaming with memories, as if he was replaying the scenes of every meeting in his mind, "Every time we meet, the atmosphere is so good. We are like old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time. As soon as we sit down, we open up and can't stop talking. Whether it is interests and hobbies or plans for future life, we have many common ideas and opinions." At this point, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if immersed in those pleasant chat scenes. "You think, when we talk about interests and hobbies, I also find those things she likes very interesting. For example, she loves reading books, and when she talks about interesting stories and characters in those books, it is really vivid, and I am also fascinated by listening. I am also happy to flip through books when I am free, so we can always talk about the plots and feelings in those books for a long time. When it comes to planning for future life, wow, we hit it off immediately. We both think that if we get married in the future, we can have a warm little home, do housework together on weekdays, and go out for a walk in our spare time to see the beautiful scenery in this world and experience different customs and practices."
Xu Damao became more and more excited as he spoke, with a smile on his face almost overflowing, "So, as the number of contacts increases, I feel that we are becoming more and more familiar with each other and closer. Maybe after a while, there will be further developments!" As he spoke, his eyes flashed with excitement and anticipation, and that light was like the brightest stars in the night sky, brilliant and dazzling, as if he had already seen the beautiful days in the future when he and the girl would walk hand in hand. His heart was full of longing, and he was completely immersed in this beautiful imagination.
His eyebrows were slightly raised at the side of his bangs, and those eyebrows were like willow branches gently plucked by the breeze, rising in a subtle arc. The corners of his mouth also rose up, revealing a playful smile. There was a bit of mockery in that smile, as if saying "I know you too well". He said slowly and teasingly: "Hey, Damao! You should not just talk big and beautiful things. Think about how impatient you were in the past. You were only passionate about chasing girls for three minutes." As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, with an expression of "I see through you". "Every time at the beginning, your enthusiasm was like a raging fire. You wanted to surround the girl completely, but after a few days, the fire was like being extinguished by a basin of cold water, and it was gone in an instant. This time, don't be so foolish as before and treat it as a joke!" He deliberately said "child's joke" The two words were spoken with great emphasis, emphasizing the seriousness of the matter. "You have to know that the girl from the Lou family is not an ordinary girl. She was raised in the palm of her hand since she was a child. She is very precious. Her upbringing and temperament are all top-notch. We must treat her seriously!"
When Xu Damao heard this, he immediately became anxious, like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He stood up from his seat and stomped his feet in anxiety. The ground under his feet made a "dong dong" sound, as if expressing his anxiety and dissatisfaction at the moment. He quickly waved his hands in the air with a wide amplitude, as if he was eager to grab something to prove himself, and responded solemnly: "Hey, my second uncle, why do you always hold on to those things in the past?" His brows frowned slightly, and his face was full of grievance. "I have changed. People always change. I am different now. I assure you, this time I am serious from the bottom of my heart, and I really want to get along well with this girl!" As he spoke, he patted his chest hard. The "bang bang" sound was particularly loud in this bustling cafeteria, as if adding a powerful footnote to his words.
"You don't know, that girl is really amazing." Xu Damao sat down again, but he was still excited. He leaned forward slightly, his eyes full of admiration. "She is not only handsome and charming, but her face is like a freshly peeled egg, white and tender, with a natural good complexion, and her eyebrows and eyes are very delicate, like a fairy from a painting, making people unable to take their eyes away. And she is very kind-hearted. Once, we were walking on the road and saw a stray kitten on the side of the road. The kitten looked very pitiful, skinny, and meowing. Before I could react at the time, she hurried over and carefully picked up the kitten, muttering that she would take it to eat something and find a place to put it. Her gentle appearance made me feel warm in my heart. Every time I chat with her, my heart seems to be covered with a layer of sweet honey. It's so comfortable, it's so beautiful!" As Xu Damao spoke, an intoxicated smile unconsciously appeared on his face again, as if he had returned to the warm moment when he was chatting with the girl.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, smiled and nodded, indicating that he agreed with Xu Damao's praise for the girl. Then, he continued to ask with interest: "In this case, what plans do you two have for the future? Have you considered developing in a more in-depth direction? For example, arrange for each other to meet each other's parents and other important matters, and try to settle this good thing as soon as possible?"
Xu Damao lowered his head slightly, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something carefully in his mind. After a while, he raised his head, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "Oh, at present, it has not developed to that level. But, to be honest, in my heart, I am looking forward to settling this matter as soon as possible! I have been thinking that I should spend more time with the girl. In this way, she can understand my personality and character more thoroughly. When the time is right, hehe, I will definitely go to the Lou family and discuss this marriage with them seriously. I don't believe that with my sincerity, I can't get the unanimous approval of the two families? I must settle this marriage properly and firmly!"
At this moment, the workers who were eating around them, after hearing the conversation between the two of them, were attracted by a magnet, and put down their bowls and chopsticks and gathered around. Everyone stretched their necks and pricked up their ears, listening attentively for fear of missing a word. During this time, a worker grinned and joked: "Hey, Damao, if you are really lucky enough to become the son-in-law of the Lou family, don't forget to take care of our brothers who have worked hard in this factory together! You must never forget the ups and downs we have spent together!"
Xu Damao patted his broad and strong chest vigorously and promised solemnly: "Oh, how could I forget that! If this thing can really succeed, we can be good brothers as close as brothers! No matter what needs help, as long as I can do it, I will definitely go all out and do my best! However, it is really too early to talk about this now. My most important task at the moment is to work harder and try to show my excellence, so that the beautiful girl will follow me willingly and wholeheartedly!"
While he was talking nonstop, a co-worker suddenly appeared beside him and asked curiously, "Hey, Damao, what kind of hobbies does the girl from the Lou family usually have? You have to cater to her preferences, only in this way can you firmly capture her heart!"
Hearing this, Xu Damao's eyes, which originally shone with confidence, instantly became brighter, and he seemed more excited and excited. He danced with joy and answered enthusiastically: "Haha, this is a good question! According to my observations during this period, she likes reading books, especially those full of wisdom and philosophy. So recently, whenever I have free time, I will go to the bookstore without stopping, and take the trouble to find all kinds of interesting and fun books to read, thinking that when I see her again next time, I will have more common topics to chat with her! In addition, I also asked people around where there are exhibitions of old objects and other activities, and I am planning to find a suitable opportunity to take her there to visit, so that she can be happy and cheerful!"
After hearing this, everyone was immediately excited, whispering and talking at once. Some people praised with a smile on their faces: "Hey! I didn't expect that Xu Damao really put in a lot of effort this time!" Others continued to tease him with a chuckle: "Wow! Look how beautiful you are, do you think you will be able to marry a beautiful woman soon?" For a moment, the whole cafeteria was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was particularly lively.
Xu Damao sat there, not paying any attention to everyone's teasing. He was seen chewing his food while enthusiastically telling the people around him about how he met and got to know the girl and how they got along. Whenever he talked about interesting or heartwarming stories, he couldn't help laughing out loud, his eyes sparkling with happiness, his heart full of longing for a better life in the future. At this moment, in his mind, a beautiful picture seemed to have emerged - he was holding the hand of his beloved girl, slowly walking into the sacred and solemn marriage hall...
After lunch, Xu Damao walked out of the cafeteria in high spirits. At this moment, he seemed to have endless energy, and he only wanted to complete the tasks in the afternoon beautifully and go home early. After all, he still had to think carefully about what to prepare for the next meeting with the girl, so that the relationship between the two of them could develop faster and better, and move towards that beautiful future step by step!
