Chapter 668 Three Aunts Come Up with a Plan 1
On the other side of the courtyard, He Yuzhu, the man everyone affectionately called "Silly Zhu", was standing in a corner, staring at Xu Damao. Xu Damao seemed to be in high spirits, especially because the blind date was going quite smoothly, like a boat sailing with the current, without any obstacles.
He Yuzhu watched this scene, and the unwillingness and eagerness in his heart became stronger and stronger, just like dry wood being ignited. He silently thought to himself that although he had worked hard in cooking for most of his life and had mastered a very exquisite skill, he could get praise from others just by showing off his skills. He was also a well-known figure in the factory cafeteria. But when it came to the emotional world, he was like a blank piece of paper that had never been inked, so pure that it was a little pitiful.
In the past, I always followed the matchmakers' arrangements with great expectation, hoping that they could help me find a good marriage. But who could have thought that the matchmakers were just boastful people, and the reality always disappointed me. After many times of going back and forth, I still haven't found a close partner who can talk to me and live with me.
Thinking of this, He Yuzhu's stubbornness came out, and he secretly decided that this time he couldn't just sit there and wait for death like before, he had to take the initiative. Moreover, this time he had an idea in his mind, and he would no longer trust those unreliable matchmakers. He would rely on his own wisdom and sincerity from the bottom of his heart to try to knock on the door of love.
So, He Yuzhu began to prepare carefully. He got up early and went to the vegetable market first, carefully selecting the freshest ingredients in front of each stall, such as fresh vegetables and plump meat. After returning home, he went into the kitchen, tied an apron, and began to show his cooking skills.
He was busy in the kitchen, the sounds of cutting vegetables and cooking intertwined, as if playing a unique movement. After a lot of hard work, finally, a table of rich food that made people salivate at the sight appeared in front of him. The color of the dishes, red like fire, green like jade, and yellow like the warm sunshine of golden autumn, matched just right, and it was pleasing to the eye just by looking at it. The fragrance was even more diffused, filling the entire courtyard, as if telling people that this table of food was extraordinary.
He Yuzhu planned to invite three aunts from the factory - Auntie One, Auntie Two, and Auntie Three - to give him advice. These three aunts are well-known figures in the factory. Not only do they have a very good reputation among the neighbors, but everyone gives them thumbs up when they mention them. Moreover, they each have rich experience as "matchmakers". They have helped countless good things over the years, helping countless couples who had never met before to get together and live a happy life.
The sun gradually set, and the soft afterglow was like a golden gauze covering the whole courtyard, filling every corner of the courtyard, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. At this time, three aunts arrived as scheduled. They walked into the courtyard, chatting and laughing all the way. As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, their eyes were attracted by the delicious food on the table.
The three aunties gathered around the table, praising him one after another, "Wow, Shazhu, your cooking skills are getting better and better. Look at this table of dishes, they're so mouth-watering." "That's right, the color, aroma and taste are all impeccable. They're better than those in restaurants." As they spoke, they praised He Yuzhu's cooking skills. The words of praise were like the evening breeze, blowing gently into He Yuzhu's heart and making him feel a little warmer.
After some pleasantries, He Yuzhu felt that the time was right, so he got to the point. He scratched his head, with a shy but sincere look on his face, and expressed his concerns about wanting to go on a blind date but being afraid of repeating the same mistakes.
"Aunties, you are all experienced people with rich experience. I am really unsure about what to do, just like walking in the dark without knowing the direction. You have to check carefully for me and give me some guidance. I am counting on you for the happiness of the rest of my life." He Yuzhu said sincerely, his eyes full of expectation, hoping that the aunties could show him the way.
After hearing what he said, the aunt walked forward with a smile and gently patted the back of his hand. Her action was full of love, just like an elder treating her own child, and she comforted him, "Don't worry, Shazhu. We have all watched you grow up. We know exactly what kind of person you are. You are kind-hearted and warm-hearted to everyone. You are willing to help with anything. Moreover, you are a good cook. If any girl follows you, she will have delicious food every day. However, blind dating does require fate, but you also have to treat it with care. As long as you are attentive and fate is there, the good girl will naturally come."
After listening to what the first aunt said, the second aunt nodded hurriedly, her face full of seriousness, and then added: "Yes, yes, yes, Silly Zhu, finding a partner is not a casual thing, you have to figure out what kind of girl you want first. Look at some young people nowadays, they just follow the trend blindly, if someone says this is good, they think this is good, if someone says that is good, they chase that, in the end, they even confuse what they really want in their hearts. You can't do this, you have to calm down and think about what kind of girl you like, the kind of girl who is gentle and virtuous and can manage the family well. You have to think clearly whether you want a girl who is well-organized, or a lively and cheerful one who can talk and laugh with you and live a lively life. Also, the first impression is very important. It's like when a girl sees you for the first time, she will rate you based on her first impression. So, you have to show your best side, but this display must be real. Don't think about pretending. If you rely on pretending to win the girl's favor at the beginning, then once you get along with her later, once the truth is revealed, it will be all over. The girl will no longer be willing to continue with you. "
The third aunt also nodded repeatedly, feeling that she also had a lot to say, so she said more specifically: "I think, Shazhu, you have to work hard before the blind date. You have to understand the other party's preferences first. As the saying goes, cater to the girl's interests. Only by chatting and getting along with the girl in the areas that she is interested in, can you get closer to each other faster. For example, if you know that the girl likes to read, then you can carefully select a good book that suits her taste as a gift for her. When the girl sees it, she will think, wow, you are so attentive, and her favor for you will definitely increase. If this Girls like to eat, so you can talk to them more about food, tell them about your cooking experience, how to make this dish delicious, what are the unique features of that dish, so that you can have a common topic, and make the girl feel that she has a lot to talk about with you. Also, you have to pay attention to your dress, don't be too casual, although you don't have to dress like those big bosses, with all the famous brands, but you have to be clean and tidy, at least people will think you are a particular person, and you take this meeting seriously, otherwise if you are sloppy, the girl will see that the first impression is not good. "
He Yuzhu just sat there, leaning forward slightly, staring at the three aunties without blinking, with an earnest look as if he was a good student listening to the teacher in class, with his ears pricked up, afraid of missing a word, and nodding from time to time while listening, his head moving like pounding garlic, over and over again, while secretly memorizing these valuable suggestions in his heart, thinking that these were all the aunties' words of experience, which would definitely be of great use to his future blind dates. He looked at the three aunties with gratitude, his face filled with a sincere smile, and said, "Aunties, you are so right. I was too confused before and relied too much on those matchmakers. I just listened to what they said was good and didn't calm down to think about it. I went on blind dates in a daze. As a result, I ignored my own feelings and my own judgment. This time, I must follow your advice and go on blind dates seriously and attentively, and try to find the one who is really right for me. I can't mess around like before."
The aunt looked at He Yuzhu's serious and sincere look, and she was very satisfied in her heart. The smile on her face became more and more brilliant. She nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "That's right, Shazhu, you have to be confident. Think about it, you are the star chef in our factory, and your cooking skills are well-known in this area. Which girl doesn't like the dishes you cook? Just with your good cooking skills, you can attract the attention of many girls. As long as you treat people sincerely and show your sincerity, don't hide it, you will always meet the right person. When the time comes, you can just wait to live a good life and enjoy a happy life."
The second aunt also echoed, "Yes, Shazhu, you are a good person, kind-hearted and warm-hearted. Whether in the factory or in the yard, whenever someone has a problem, you are always the first to step forward to help. Everyone remembers it. In addition, you have great skills, which is a real ability. With such good conditions, you just need to put aside those worries in your heart, stop looking back and forth, and boldly pursue the girl you like, then happiness will naturally knock on your door. This good thing will definitely not be far away."
After listening to everyone's words, the three aunts suddenly had an idea in their minds, and they suggested: "How about this, Shazhu, the three of us aunts will help you find a suitable partner. You see, we know a lot of people in this factory or in the surrounding neighborhood, and we know a little about the situation of those girls. We will use our own vision to pick out three girls who we think are suitable for you. Then, you can meet them first and get to know each other. After meeting, which one do you think is more compatible with you and more suitable for you, then we can get to know each other further and see if we can develop it. What do you think of this idea?"
When He Yuzhu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had suddenly seen a ray of light in the darkness. His originally confused eyes suddenly became full of expectation. He nodded excitedly and agreed, "What a good idea! Aunties, I'll leave it to you. I'm so grateful to you. I will cherish every opportunity to go on a blind date, feel it with my heart, and try to find the fate that belongs to me. I hope I can find the good girl who can spend my life with me smoothly this time."
The three aunts were immediately excited when they saw He Yuzhu responded quickly, and they started flipping through the roster one after another. The setting sun shone through the window lattice onto the eight-immortal table, and the jasmine fragrance in the teacup mixed with the lingering aroma of the food, which seemed to add a warm filter to this blind date meeting.
A middle-aged woman took out a red cloth bag from her cloth bag and opened it to reveal a yellowed photo: "Look, Silly Zhu, this is the daughter of the old Li family of the steel mill, Xiufen. She is pretty and gentle, and the most amazing thing is that she is skillful. The soles of shoes she sews can be seen as paintings." She tapped the photo twice with her fingers, "Her father broke his leg last month, and this girl took care of him without taking off her clothes. She is a loving person."
The second aunt took out a color photo, the girl in the photo had two ponytails and was smiling with two tiger teeth showing: "This is my niece Chunyan, she works as a salesperson in a department store. This girl is good at talking, and she helped the police station catch a wallet thief last week! If you two can succeed, you can sing the same tune in the yard and become the stars of our alley!"
The third aunt took off her reading glasses slowly and took out a letter from her bosom: "The one I'm introducing is different." She deliberately kept the other two aunts in suspense, and when she saw the other two aunts stretching their necks, she smiled and unfolded the letter, "She is a middle school teacher named Xiaoxia. Her father died early, and she has two younger brothers. This girl relied on the money from evening self-study to support her brothers to finish junior high school. She also wrote me a letter the day before yesterday, saying "I would like to find a down-to-earth and honest man to build a warm home together." - Shazhu, this cultured person speaks elegantly. "
He Yuzhu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his fingers unconsciously stroked the corner of the table. The word "warm nest" said by the third aunt was like a feather gently scratching his heart. He suddenly remembered the ray of sunlight that leaked through the gap between the tiles when he helped the deaf old lady repair the roof the day before, which also fell into people's hearts in this way.
"Three aunties, can I...can I meet all of them?" He stood up suddenly, causing the legs of the bench to make a short squeak on the brick floor, "It's not because I'm greedy, I just want to know more about you, just like you said." The last sentence was said to the three aunties, but his eyes fell on the pot of newly sprouted green ivy on the windowsill - the emerald green leaves faced the light, as if each leaf contained a hope waiting to bloom.
The second aunt clapped her hands and laughed: "That's how it should be! Our silly Zhu has now learned to compare prices from different stores!"
The aunt poked her in a reproachful manner, then turned to He Yuzhu with a loving face: "You can meet me, but there has to be a certain order. Chunyan is free this weekend. Her aunt is on a business trip to Shanghai, and the family is in need of a faucet repairman..."
"Then I'll go see Chunyan first!" He Yuzhu blurted out. Seeing the other two aunts' surprised faces, he hurriedly explained: "No, I mean... start with the near ones. The three aunts said that "understanding" must start from the details of life."
