Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

Then, the woman introduced herself: "My name is Wang Sanmei, and the one busy in the kitchen just now is my younger sister Wang Ling."

"I wonder if you have already started a family and a career, young man?" After saying this, a smile of anticipation appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Xu Damao politely replied, "My surname is Xu, and my given name is Mao. Although I have not married yet, the wedding date is approaching, and the marriage has been decided long ago."

Hearing this, Wang Sanmei couldn't help showing a little disappointment. She sighed softly, then shook her head with a little regret, saying, "Oh, so that's how it is. Congratulations first."

Seeing this, Xu Damao felt a little curious and asked, "Sister Wang, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Sister Wang frowned slightly and explained worriedly, "Alas, you don't know, my sister Wang Ling is not young anymore, but she is still single and hasn't even found a partner. Moreover, our parents passed away early, so as the eldest sister, I am naturally very worried!"

After hearing this, Xu Damao asked in surprise, "No way? In my opinion, your sister is so pretty, she should be very popular with boys, how come she doesn't have a boyfriend?"

"Alas, I asked someone to introduce me to a girl a while ago, but who knew that girl had such high standards that she looked down on me!"

"Young man, I heard that you are a serious worker in a factory in the city. You have wide connections and much experience. Can you also help my sister to make some connections?" Sister Wang looked at the young man in front of her with anticipation, her eyes full of earnestness.

The young man who was called "young brother" hesitated for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Well, Sister Wang, to be honest, I do have such a candidate here who can be introduced to your sister."

"He works in our steel mill just like me, and he's also my neighbor! But it's hard to say whether it will work out. After all, love is a matter of fate, right?"

Hearing this, Sister Wang was overjoyed and said quickly: "Oh, as long as you are willing to help introduce it, that would be great! Thank you so much, brother! No matter what the final result is, I appreciate your kindness."

As the two were talking, Sister Wang suddenly remembered that her sister had shown some things to the young man in front of her and asked her to decide whether to sell them.

So she hurriedly asked, "By the way, little brother, those things my sister showed you just now, she said she would wait for me to come back and decide whether to sell them, what are they exactly? How much are they worth?"

After Xu Damao thought for a while, he began to describe it in detail to Sister Wang: "Well, there are a few jewelry combs and a small porcelain in here."

"As for the price, I roughly estimated that these can be sold for about ten yuan in total." After saying that, he carefully observed Sister Wang's reaction.

After hearing the price offered by Xu Damao, Wang Sanmei made the decision without hesitation: "Sell! Definitely! Anyway, these things are useless at home and they take up space. It's better to sell them for some cash."

At this moment, a tempting aroma drifted into the room from outside. It turned out that Wang Ling had already prepared the meal.

She walked in with a large plate in her hands. On the plate were some fragrant pancakes that had just come out of the pan, and next to it was a large plate of golden and shiny roast chicken.

"It's time to eat! I've got a pot of sweet potato soup in there. It's steaming hot right now. I'll bring it to you right away."

Wang Ling smiled, clapped her hands gently, then turned around and walked briskly towards the kitchen.

"This is the roast chicken I sold you at noon, right?" Wang Sanmei said, pointing at the roast chicken on the table.

"That's right, Sister Wang. To be honest, the roast chicken in your store is really delicious. It's even better than the roast chicken sold in the big restaurants in the city!"

Xu Damao, who was sitting at the table, couldn't help but praise.

"Haha, thank you for the high evaluation, brother! To be honest, our roast chicken shop has been open for many years. If it weren't for the delicious food, I'm afraid it would have closed down long ago."

Wang Sanmei responded with a smile and moved the roast chicken towards Xu Damao's position.

"That's right. After all, roast chicken is not cheap, and most people can't afford to buy it often." Xu Damao nodded to show his understanding.

At this time, Wang Ling had already placed two bowls of hot sweet potato soup on the table. Just as everyone was about to start eating, Wang Sanmei suddenly said, "Xiaoling, it happens that the projectionist is here today, and I want to tell you something."

Wang Ling raised her head, looked at Wang Sanmei curiously, and asked, "What's the matter, sister?"

Wang Sanmei continued, "This young man has a neighbor who works at a nearby steel mill. He has good conditions in all aspects, but he still doesn't have a girlfriend..."

However, when Wang Ling heard this, she knew what her sister was going to say next, and immediately interrupted Wang Sanmei anxiously: "Hey, sister, don't worry about my lifelong affairs!"

"Both your parents are gone. As your elder sister, an elder sister is like a mother! If I don't worry about your affairs, who else will?"

"Look at you. You're not young at all, but you don't even have a partner. You have to understand one thing: when a man grows up, he has to get married and start a family. When a woman grows up, she has to get married!"

Wang Sanmei said to her brother with a serious face.

Wang Ling nodded helplessly: "Sister, I know, can we eat first?" He tried to change the subject.

However, Wang Sanmei obviously did not intend to give up. She continued to nag while putting food into Wang Ling's bowl: "How can eating interfere with my business? Let me tell you, the projectionist is trying to introduce you to someone out of kindness. I have to find a chance to thank him."

"Besides, the family we're introducing to you this time lives in the city. When you marry them, you'll enjoy a good life there. It's much better than staying in this village!"

Wang Sanmei kept talking, with no intention of stopping. Xu Damao listened to his sister's words and couldn't help but think of those funny videos he had seen on the Internet in his previous life where parents urged their children to get married. He felt angry and amused.

"Sister, actually the main reason why I haven't found a partner is because I can't bear to leave you. Are you so eager to marry me off? What if I miss you in the future?"
