Chapter 667 Xu Damao wants to go on a blind date again10
On this sunny day, Xu Damao walked with an exceptionally brisk pace, as if he was stepping on soft clouds instead of solid ground, and his whole body was filled with a sense of ease. He walked through the bustling crowd in the factory, and saw fellow workers coming and going, talking and laughing, and the noisy voices intertwined together, forming a lively scene. At this time, Xu Damao's heart was like a small drum, beating non-stop, and every beat carried his excitement and expectation.
As he walked, he kept thinking in his mind. He thought that he had to do his work quickly and well this afternoon, after all, work performance was what the boss valued the most. If he could leave a great impression on his boss with his outstanding work results, his days in the factory would be much better in the future. Moreover, if he was lucky, he might be able to finish all the work ahead of time and slip out early. Then, he could go to the bookstore to buy two more good books, immerse himself in the ocean of knowledge, and feel the unique charm of words; or, he could ask if there were any new exhibitions recently, to broaden his horizons and see those new and strange things that were rarely seen on weekdays.
When he returned to work, Xu Damao seemed to be a completely different person. He was very enthusiastic about his work. Look at him, his hands moved very quickly, as if they had electric motors. He fiddled with various tools quickly without any delay. His eyes were also very sharp, like a precise scanner, not missing any tiny details, even the smallest flaws, which could not escape his eyes. The workers around him were all surprised to see him like this. They looked at each other, wondering what kind of stimulants Xu Damao had taken today. Why was he so energetic and so different from the past?
Time is like the elusive flow of water, and it was already afternoon in a blink of an eye. At this time, the red sun began to slowly set in the west, and the soft light sprinkled on every corner of the factory, covering the entire factory with a layer of golden afterglow. And the deafening roar of the machines in the factory gradually weakened with the passage of time, as if the machines that had been busy all day were also beginning to feel a little tired. Xu Damao, relying on his full enthusiasm and high work efficiency, completed the task ahead of schedule. Now, he felt so happy in his heart, just like drinking honey water, the sweet taste surged up from the bottom of his heart, and his face was unconsciously filled with a proud and satisfied smile.
He quickly packed up his tools, neatly arranged his workstation, then greeted his fellow workers warmly and hurried out of the factory. Along the way, his mind was full of scenes of meeting the girl he liked next time. He was thinking about how to greet her in a friendly and natural way when they met, so as not to make the girl feel that he was too deliberate or stiff; then he was thinking about how to make her happier, whether to tell her a funny joke to make her laugh, or share some interesting things he had encountered recently. He was immersed in his thoughts, and his pace unconsciously quickened a bit.
Unconsciously, he arrived at the door of the bookstore. The bookstore was crowded and bustling. Everyone was walking in front of the rows of bookshelves, choosing their favorite books. The sound of discussions and flipping books intertwined, creating a strong cultural atmosphere. Xu Damao squeezed into the crowd with all his strength, his eyes like searchlights, quickly scanning the rows of bookshelves, not missing any corner. Finally, after his careful search, he found a few books that he thought the girl might like. He carefully took the books in his hands, with a gratified smile on his face, as if he had seen the girl's happy look when she saw these books.
He carefully held the books he had found with great difficulty, holding them tightly in his hands as if they were the most precious treasures in the world, fearing that they would be damaged even a little bit. He felt so satisfied, just like a traveler who had been searching for a long time in the desert and finally found the treasure he had dreamed of. His heart was filled with indescribable joy and relief, as if these books brought him not only the nourishment of knowledge, but also a vision and expectation of a better life in the future.
Then, with that eager expectation, he went to several places where exhibitions might be held on weekdays to inquire about the news. He first came to the cultural exhibition hall on the corner of the street, trotting in, with an expectant look on his face, and enthusiastically asked everyone if there were any new exhibitions in the near future. But the answer he got made him a little disappointed. The staff shook their heads helplessly and told him that there were no relevant exhibitions scheduled recently. Although he felt a little disappointed, he still thanked them unwillingly and hurried to the next place.
It was a slightly old art exchange center. Xu Damao walked in with hope, his eyes sparkling with anticipation, and asked around about the exhibition. However, the result was still unsatisfactory, and there was no valuable information here either. He went to several places in succession, but unfortunately, every time he got a response, he got nothing, and the feeling of loss began to slowly spread in his heart. However, Xu Damao was not discouraged. As he walked back, he encouraged himself in his heart, thinking that he should come earlier next time and pay more attention to relevant information. In that case, he would definitely be able to find a suitable and interesting exhibition.
After returning home, Xu Damao walked into the house very lightly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the house. He first tidied the house briefly, and then solemnly placed the books on the table carefully, adjusting their positions several times until he felt that they looked the best. Then, he sat at the table and began to concentrate on thinking about the details of his next meeting with the girl.
He held his chin, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought. As he was thinking, he suddenly had an idea, and thought to himself, why not just make a small handicraft and give it to the girl, so that he could express his feelings cleverly and sincerely, and let her clearly see his good intentions. Thinking of this, Xu Damao suddenly became energetic, stood up immediately, and began to search through the boxes and cabinets in the house for materials.
He first found some colored papers from the corner of the cabinet. Although the papers were a little wrinkled, the colors were still bright and beautiful. Then, he found some beads and strings that had been unused for a long time and piled them all on the table. After everything was ready, Xu Damao started to work. He first carefully thought about what kind of handicraft he wanted to make. Various styles kept emerging in his mind, and finally decided on a delicate small pendant style.
Then, he devoted himself to the production, his hands seemed to be endowed with magical powers, flexibly fiddling with the materials, carefully folding the colored paper, and patiently stringing the beads one by one, doing each step very seriously, with a focused look as if the whole world was only focused on this one thing.
Time passed by quietly, and under Xu Damao's careful production, the small handicraft gradually took shape and became more and more exquisite. Finally, Xu Damao's handicraft was almost done, he breathed a sigh of relief, gently picked up the finished product in his hand, and looked at it carefully. Looking at the small handicraft that condensed his hard work and heart, he felt so proud in his heart, as if he had won a big prize in an extremely grand competition, and the feeling of pride and satisfaction was about to overflow from the bottom of his heart.
The corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously, his face was filled with a bright smile, and he began to imagine the girl's surprised expression when she saw the gift. Thinking of the girl's bright eyes blooming with surprise and joy, thinking of her sweet smile as gorgeous as a flower blooming in spring, thinking that she might excitedly praise his intentions, Xu Damao felt so happy in his heart, as if he was already in that beautiful scene.
At this moment, there was a crisp knock on the door. The sound of "dong dong dong" seemed particularly abrupt in this quiet room. Xu Damao was stunned at first, and suddenly came back to his senses from his beautiful fantasy. He couldn't help but murmur in his heart, wondering who it could be at this time? He frowned slightly, stood up, and slowly walked towards the door. As he walked, he was still guessing the identity of the person outside the door, and his steps seemed a little hesitant.
When he reached the door, he took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to hold the door handle, turned it gently, and then slowly opened the door. As soon as the door opened, he saw Yi Zhonghai, the first uncle, and Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, standing at the door. These two uncles had smiles on their faces, and there was a different meaning in their smiles, as if they had seen some rare treasures. Their eyes narrowed into slits, and their eyes fell directly on Xu Damao, which made Xu Damao feel a little puzzled. He was full of doubts, wondering why these two uncles came to the door at this time.
"Da Mao," Yi Zhonghai spoke first, his voice full of intimacy, a kind smile on his face, and his eyes full of concern, "We heard that you have been getting along well with the girl from the Lou family recently, and the news has spread throughout the factory. You know, we have been working in the same factory for so many years and have known each other for a long time. I have watched you grow up, so naturally I am extra concerned about your affairs. So, I have come here today to check on you and see if you need any help in this matter, so that I can give you some advice or something." Yi Zhonghai nodded slightly as he spoke. His serious and enthusiastic look would warm anyone's heart.
When Xu Damao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was moved, just like a child who had been wandering outside for a long time and suddenly received the recognition and care of his elders at home. The warmth flowed through his body. His eyes were unconsciously slightly red. He quickly came back to his senses, with a grateful smile on his face, and said enthusiastically, "Oh, uncles, you are so thoughtful. Please come in, please come in and sit down." He hurriedly moved sideways to let Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong into the house.
After the two uncles entered the house, Xu Damao became even busier. He first quickly found the best tea in the house, which was the good tea that he usually couldn't bear to take out to drink. He carefully pinched a small handful and put it into the teapot, then ran to boil a pot of boiling water. When the water boiled, he picked up the kettle and slowly poured water into the teapot. Watching the tea leaves tumbling and stretching in the water, emitting bursts of fragrance, he was satisfied and poured a cup of steaming hot tea for Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, and did not forget to greet them enthusiastically: "Uncles, try this tea and see if it suits your taste."
Afterwards, Xu Damao pulled a chair over and sat opposite the two old men. His face was filled with happiness and a little shyness, and he began to talk endlessly about every little thing about himself and the girl. He talked about the scene when they first met. At that time, the sun was shining brightly, shining on the girl's face, making her whole body seem to be shrouded in a layer of golden halo. He was so beautiful that he was stunned for a moment, and his speech became stammering, causing the girl to laugh out loud; he also talked about the interesting things when they chatted together later. The girl's every smile and every word seemed to be engraved in his heart, and he could not forget it. He talked about it vividly, sometimes his eyebrows were flying with joy, and sometimes he lowered his head shyly, immersed in those beautiful memories, as if those past scenes were reappearing in front of him at this moment.
Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong sat there, listening quietly to Xu Damao's story, with satisfied smiles gradually appearing on their faces. In that smile, there was both satisfaction with Xu Damao's serious look and blessing for his relationship. They couldn't help thinking in their hearts that although Xu Damao was a little cunning sometimes, he really changed now, becoming serious and careful. I've never seen him so attentive to anyone before, it seems that this time he is really moved and has real feelings.
"Da Mao," Liu Haizhong spoke slowly at this time, and while speaking, he stretched out his hand and gently patted Xu Damao's shoulder. The strength in his hand was neither light nor heavy, but it revealed the encouragement and support of an elder to a younger generation, "We believe in you, and we believe in your vision. You are a smart kid since you were young, and now you are so dedicated, the girl must be good. Just go after her boldly, and if you encounter any difficulties in the process, or if you need any help, don't be polite to us, just tell us, we all will help you." Liu Haizhong spoke sincerely, his eyes full of sincerity and concern.
After hearing this, Xu Damao hurriedly nodded his head, nodding quickly and vigorously, like pounding garlic. He was so grateful in his heart, as if he had suddenly received the greatest support in the world when he was lost and helpless. He was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something to thank them, but it was as if something was stuck in his throat. After a long while, he managed to say: "Masters, you are so good to me. I... I don't know how to thank you."
He secretly swore in his heart that he must work hard and do everything he can to let the girl see his goodness and his sincerity. No matter what difficulties he encountered, he would never give up easily and make this relationship have a good ending. He must walk with the girl towards a future full of happiness and sweetness, and he must not let down the old man's intentions.
In this way, with the encouragement of Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao, like a boat that was originally somewhat lost in the vast ocean, suddenly found a lighthouse to move forward, and strengthened his belief. His eyes revealed an unprecedented firmness and persistence. He firmly believed that as long as he worked hard, treated the girl with his heart, and managed this relationship with his heart, he would be able to win the girl's heart, and he would be able to overcome all obstacles, hand in hand with the girl, and move towards that beautiful future together to write their romantic story together.
