Chapter 690 Three Aunts Offer Suggestions 3

In this not-too-big-small room, everyone was sitting together, chatting idly. Although the atmosphere was not dull, it was not very lively either. It was just maintaining a slightly quiet state.

In such an atmosphere, He Yuzhu suddenly said something, and when those words entered people's ears, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples. Everyone was stunned at first, and then they couldn't help laughing. That laughter seemed to have magical power, which gradually changed the originally quiet atmosphere in the room, as if it was injected with vitality, and gradually became lively again. Everyone's laughter and joking were intertwined, making this small space full of the fireworks of life.

At this moment, the third aunt who had been sitting in the corner seemed to be suddenly struck by an idea. Her eyes suddenly lit up. The originally turbid eyes were now shining with curiosity and knowledge. She cleared her throat and raised her voice and said, "I heard that Lou Xiao'e's parents' attitude towards Xu Damao seems to have changed a bit recently. You all know that Lou Xiao'e's parents have never been optimistic about Xu Damao. From the beginning when they met Xu Damao, they felt that he was full of slickness. His mouth was like honey, and he spoke in a set of ways. People always felt that he was not very reliable. At first glance, he was not a person who could live a down-to-earth life. So before, every time Xu Damao was mentioned, Lou Xiao'e's parents shook their heads and looked disapproving. But recently, I don't know what kind of luck Xu Damao had, it seems that he did something, which actually made them change their views on him."

As soon as Third Aunt said this, it was like pouring a bucket of water into a hot oil pan, and the room immediately exploded again. Everyone looked at each other, their faces full of curiosity, their eyes wide open, and they couldn't wait to know what was going on. They all started to ask Third Aunt what was going on. And Third Aunt, looking at everyone's anxious and curious looks, was so proud in her heart. She deliberately kept everyone in suspense, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a mysterious smile, and said slowly: "I just heard someone mention it casually, and I just passed by and overheard it. I didn't ask in detail what it was, so I don't know much about it. However, looking at the attitude of Lou Xiao'e's parents, it seems that they are indeed different. Maybe Xu Damao really has a chance. If it really works, then there will be a big commotion in our courtyard."

Yi Zhonghai, who had been sitting silently but paying attention to everyone's conversation, frowned slightly after hearing what the third aunt said, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he slowly nodded and said seriously: "If Lou Xiao'e's parents can really change their views on Xu Damao, then this matter may really be possible. After all, in our era, parents' orders and matchmaker's words are very important. If Lou Xiao'e's parents are willing to agree to this marriage, then this matter is equivalent to being halfway done. By then, the interpersonal relationships and personal connections in this courtyard will probably change again. Let's just wait and see."

Liu Haizhong narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand and slowly touched his chin. There were some stubbles on his chin, which felt a little prickly. As he touched it, he said thoughtfully, "That also depends on whether Xu Damao can live up to his expectations. Think about it, if this man has never been upright and remains the same, wandering around all day and not doing his job, then even if Lou Xiaoe's parents had a little change of heart about him before, they probably won't easily marry their precious daughter to him after a long time. After all, marrying a daughter is a lifelong event. Which parent doesn't consider it carefully? Who is willing to push their daughter into the fire pit? So, if Xu Damao wants to win the beauty, he has to work hard and make some real changes."

After hearing what Liu Haizhong said, the second aunt nodded hurriedly, and her head nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and she kept saying, "That's right, the key still depends on Xu Damao himself. If he can change his past, correct those bad habits that make people look down on him, find a decent job, behave well on weekdays, and pay more attention to Lou Xiaoe, showing his reliable side, maybe he can really marry Lou Xiaoe home. If Xu Damao can succeed in this, then his future life will probably be stable and on the right track, which is a good thing for us to see."

After hearing what they said, everyone started talking, and everyone had a look of curiosity and expectation on their faces. Some of them frowned slightly, as if they were racking their brains to think about what Xu Damao should do next to win the favor of Lou Xiao'e's parents; some of them were smiling, as if they had seen the beautiful picture of Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e getting married, and the light flashing in their eyes seemed to be looking forward to a lively wedding, as if they were all looking forward to Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e having a good result. The atmosphere in the whole room was so hot that everyone's laughter almost blew the roof off.

Just when everyone was discussing enthusiastically and in high spirits, He Yuzhu suddenly slapped his thigh as if he had thought of a brilliant idea. With a "pop" sound, the movement startled several people around him, but he didn't care about that and said loudly: "Hey, how about we find an opportunity to help Xu Damao? Think about it, Xu Damao sometimes just needs a guide and can't think straight. There are so many of us. If we all help push him and give him some ideas, and let him perform well in front of Lou Xiaoe's parents, maybe this thing will be successful. By then, we can be regarded as having done a great thing. There will be one more happy event in this courtyard. How festive it will be."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly, with a worried look on his face. He sighed softly and said earnestly: "Zhu Zi, although your idea has good intentions, emotional matters are always complicated. We outsiders should stay out of it. After all, this is a matter between two people, and we don't know the emotional entanglement in between. If we rashly help and accidentally make things worse, that would be bad. Maybe it will cause some misunderstandings between Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe, and mess up the matter. Then we will have good intentions but bad results. So, let them deal with it themselves."

After listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, He Yuzhu scratched his slightly messy hair subconsciously, running his fingers through his hair, scratching his scalp slightly red. He frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly said: "Uncle, you are right. I was really impulsive just now and didn't think it through. But I just think that Xu Damao is sometimes unreliable, but he is always impatient and likes to be clever. But if this man could really be with Lou Xiao'e, maybe he could really change his temper. Think about it, Lou Xiao'e is a well-educated girl with good family education. If Xu Damao could marry Lou Xiao'e, with such a good wife around to remind him and urge him, he would definitely not be ashamed to be so careless like before. Maybe he could slowly become more stable and reliable, which is also a good thing for him."

Yan Bugui reached out and gently adjusted the glasses on his nose. The lenses flashed a ray of light under the light. He squinted his eyes slightly, pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "Zhu Zi's idea does make sense. After all, as the saying goes, if you are close to vermilion, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black. If Xu Damao can get together with Lou Xiao'e, under the influence of Lou Xiao'e, maybe he can really get rid of those bad habits. But if we really want to help him, we have to think of a suitable way. We can't be too deliberate. Otherwise, as the uncle said, it's easy to make things worse. We have to do it naturally so that the two of them can enhance their feelings unconsciously. If we try too hard to match them up, Lou Xiao'e or Xu Damao may realize that we are deliberately arranging it, and then they may feel disgusted, and then it will be counterproductive, so this method must be carefully considered."

After hearing what they said, everyone fell into deep thought. Everyone had a serious and thoughtful look on their face. Some held their chins and stared at the ground, as if they were thinking about various possible solutions in their minds. Some frowned slightly and muttered something quietly, as if they were discussing with themselves how to help Xu Damao without appearing too deliberate. The whole room suddenly became quiet, and only a few soft sighs could be heard occasionally. Everyone was thinking hard about whether there was any good way to help Xu Damao.

At this moment, Chunyan, who had been sitting in the corner listening to everyone's discussion, suddenly had an idea. Her eyes sparkled with excitement. She stood up and said in a clear and loud voice, "Why don't we find an opportunity to organize everyone to go out and play together, and invite Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e to come along, so that they can get to know each other more. Maybe they will develop feelings for each other slowly. We can choose a place with beautiful scenery, such as the suburbs. The air in the suburbs is good and the scenery is beautiful. We can go there together to relax and have fun happily.

At that time, we can arrange some interesting activities for Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe to participate in. In the process of playing, they can naturally talk more and get to know each other better. In this way, their feelings will be cultivated slowly, and it won’t seem too deliberate. What a good idea. "

When He Yuzhu heard Chunyan's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his confused eyes suddenly became bright, just like a bright light suddenly lit up in the dark night. He clapped his hands excitedly, his face full of smiles, and said loudly: "This is a good idea! Let's do it this way. Let's find a weekend when everyone is resting and go to the suburbs to play together. Then we can invite Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e. We can prepare some delicious food in advance, find an open grassland in the suburbs, spread a blanket, and everyone can sit together to eat, drink, and play games, so that Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e can also integrate into this happy atmosphere. I don't believe that we can't cultivate feelings in this way. Haha, if this thing succeeds, it will be a wonderful thing."

After hearing Chunyan's idea, everyone was stunned for a moment, as if the lively and beautiful scene of the outing suddenly appeared in their minds. Then, everyone showed a look of approval on their faces and nodded in agreement. The nodding action was like a pre-arranged plan. Some people kept saying things like "This is a great idea" and "It's really a good idea." The atmosphere in the whole room suddenly became more cheerful and joyful.

Then, amidst all the laughter and joy, everyone began to discuss the details of the outing.

Someone suggested what kind of food to prepare. After all, eating is a big deal when you go out to play, and everyone should eat happily and enjoy themselves. So someone started counting on his fingers, listing all kinds of delicious food one by one, such as fragrant grilled chicken wings, sweet and delicious fruit salad, crispy and delicious biscuits, etc., which made the people around him drool.

Some people were also worried about the means of transportation, whether it was more convenient to take the bus or to find several cars to go together. Everyone expressed their opinions and argued fiercely, as if this matter was more important than their own. Everyone had the same beautiful expectation in their hearts, that is, they hoped that through this outing, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e would be able to create a spark of love, just like the prince and princess in the fairy tale, and live a happy life from then on. By then, there would be another pair of enviable young lovers in the courtyard, and the whole courtyard would probably be shrouded in that sweet atmosphere.

At this time, Xu Damao was staying at home alone, totally unaware of the fact that everyone outside was busy with his and Lou Xiao'e's affairs. He sat on the old chair with a sad face, his brows knitted tightly together, as if he could pinch a fly to death, his eyes were full of confusion and worry, and in his heart he kept thinking about the blind date with Lou Xiao'e.

He recalled the scene when he met Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e's gentle and generous appearance and elegant manners kept replaying in his mind like a movie scene. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Lou Xiao'e was a rare good girl.

But when he thought about the bad impression he had left on Lou Xiaoe's parents, he couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know if he could impress Lou Xiaoe with his own charm, let alone whether he could get the approval of her parents.

Every time he thought of these, he felt his heart was in a mess, like a tangled thread that he couldn't sort out. Those messy thoughts tangled in his mind, making it difficult for him to sit or stand. He could only pace back and forth in the room, scratching his head from time to time. He looked so distressed, as if he had encountered the most difficult problem in the world. He was so exhausted by this matter that he lost all his energy and spirit.
