I took some dishes but felt heavy in my heart and finally lost my appetite. I put down the cutlery, took a deep breath and said, "Old Xu, your ambition is coming out.

Now all the neighbors know that our Damao is infertile.

Yesterday I found my neighbor Wang the matchmaker on my left and asked her to help find a wife for Damao.

Guess what.

Unexpectedly, Matchmaker Wang turned me away.

And she said that I was the one who wanted to harm people.

Infertility is nothing, it doesn't affect your work, how can it be a bad heart? "

These words were like a cold wind blowing past.

The happy expression on Xu Jixiang's face disappeared, and the taste of the alcohol in his mouth began to change.

Recently, after taking two doses of Chinese medicine, he went to see an old Chinese doctor for a checkup, but the results were not optimistic. The senior Chinese doctor, who had superb skills and could give people new life, could only let Xu Damao accept the arrangement of fate.

This was tantamount to announcing that the entire Xu family was in a predicament of having no successors and being extinct.

Xu Jixiang found it hard to accept, so he took Xu Damao to find several experienced Chinese medicine practitioners and took a lot of traditional Chinese herbal prescriptions, but unfortunately the results were the same.

Infertility. Under normal circumstances, almost no young girl would marry into the family of such a man.

At that time, people valued the traditional idea of ​​"having many children and grandchildren" to pass on the family tradition. When the modern ** idea of ​​"one child per family" was not yet common, the elderly did not want to support themselves alone when they were old.

"It's too difficult, it's too difficult!"

Xu Jixiang's image of himself as a neighborhood wise guy seemed powerless at this time, and he scratched his head in distress.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Xu Jixiang frowned and asked in a low voice: Who is it?

A response came from outside the door: "I am patriotic."

Hearing this name, Xu Damao immediately stood up, leaned close to the door to peek at the situation outside, and then turned around: "Dad, it is indeed a man named Li Aiguo."

"What does this guy do?"

Xu Jixiang paused halfway through his words and remembered something: "A few days ago, I told you that I wanted to find a construction team from the railway locomotive depot to help tidy up our old house, but then I suddenly changed my mind. I guess those construction workers got impatient and asked Li Aiguo to come over to inquire about the situation."

He waved to Xu Damao and said, "Open the door."

Xu Damao glanced at the delicious food on the table, his eyes a little nervous: "Will Li Aiguo have any doubts when he sees this situation?"

Xu Jixiang smiled and said, "It's okay. Li Aiguo is just a train driver who earns only a few hundred yuan a month. He certainly wouldn't owe us face. He doesn't like to nag, so he won't spread the matter."

"understood."

Li Aiguo felt a little confused as he looked at Xu Damao's reluctance to open the door.

When he saw the rich and delicious food on the table, all the mysteries suddenly became clear: "So you were hiding here to secretly enjoy the food. That's really a bit cunning." There was a bit of sarcasm in his words.

Although Li Aiguo did not expose the truth, he directly asked the question: "Uncle Xu, have you decided whether to continue repairing the house? The construction team over there has been waiting for a response."

Xu Jixiang sighed: "Are you still repairing the house? You also know about Xu Damao's situation. With this disease, which girl would be willing to marry him?"

As he spoke, Xu Jixiang stood up, tugged at Li Aiguo's arm, and invited him to sit down. "Come, let me show you the delicious food made by your Aunt Xu."

Seeing that Xu Jixiang seemed to be interested in asking for help, Li Aiguo did not refuse. In such an occasion, he would never do something "out of touch with the world".

Instead, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up some meat dishes. This made Xu Damao, who was standing next to him, feel heartbroken: with a salary of only over 100 yuan a month, this kid was reluctant to buy a little bit of meat for his father to enjoy.

After Li Aiguo had eaten and drunk his fill, he sat in a chair and spoke slowly: "Aiguo, you know more than me. What do you think Xu Damao should do now?"

For a long time, the problem of Xu Damao's infertility has become an open secret in the hospital, so Xu Jixiang did not hide this matter. As soon as the word "Mom" came out, he stood up to help Li Aiguo pour wine, "Yes, that's right, please give me some good advice, Li Aiguo, who is sensible."

He then added a piece of advice: "It's certainly not easy, but if we find the right person, we don't have to worry too much about marriage problems."

After a hearty meal, Li Aiguo burped and played with the teacup in his hand: "It is indeed difficult. However, once someone is suitable for him and he finds the right partner, marriage will naturally become much easier."

He was just finishing up Lou Xiao'e's business, but he didn't expect to hear that Xu Damao wanted him to introduce a wife. This operation was too "outrageous"!

"I feel like you're fooling me, Aiguo, you're already well-fed before you even get married! In your current situation, if the news gets out, there will be countless girls who want to marry you. I'm afraid they'll line up in front of you at the entrance of the steel mill!"

All the nasty words were said.

Hearing this, Xu Damao straightened his back with all his strength, raised his arms and said to himself: "But I am different! Who would like me? I can't live like this!"

Xu Jixiang severely rebuked his son: "Listen! Ask Guo Ge to finish his words later!"

"Please continue to turn the page to read more exciting content!"

Xu Damao lowered his head and said no more.

At this point, Li Aiguo slowly interrupted: "Mr. Xu, when we see problems, we should have an open mind and a way to integrate theory and practice. We need to analyze the specific situation."

He then went on to say: “Da Mao’s infertility is indeed a shortcoming.

For ordinary girls, they may not like him.

But I thought of all the women who came in with their children, who were in troubled marriages,

This comparison seems to give Damao a new perspective.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere within the Xu family changed subtly.

This statement was like a gust of wind, opening up a new space for thinking.

The previously gloomy Xu Damao was instantly ignited.

Without waiting for other relatives to react,

He fished out a cigarette from his pocket, picked it up,

Passed it to the patriot next to him.

He clenched the cigarette slightly with both hands and lit it for his friend.

"My dear patriot, this is indeed a far-sighted idea. After she has children, the young widow may no longer need our help."

General Xu looked at his son with approval, "Indeed, it seems that the difficulties faced by Damao will be solved accordingly. No wonder you, a locomotive driver, are so smart and capable.

That’s the real smart thing to do.”

Hearing these discussions, Xu's mother also began to agree and put forward her own point of view. "You have a point. A young widow with children is certainly better. We may be able to adopt one and let him take the surname."

Xu Jixiang then explained further. "But such a woman must not be a local villager. She must have a job and a household registration to ensure the normal operation of our family. After all, we Damao also need a stable income to cope with the pressure of life."

"Look at the Jia family. Ever since they married the woman named Qin Huairu, the entire family has fallen into financial difficulties. If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai's support, they might have already fallen into despair. This makes us realize once again the importance of stability, not just the marriage issue.

Seeing the Xu family's enthusiastic discussion, Li Aiguo, who had already achieved some success and influence, left at the right time. He hurriedly stepped onto the bicycle path leading to the maintenance department.

Just think about it, marrying such a smart girl as a wife will definitely add new colors to their lives.

This is a great achievement that I, as an elder, should be proud of. The only regret is - which young widow will Xu Damao choose?

Didn't he choose Liang Ladi? After Li Aiguo's experience sharing,

The family began to look for a suitable candidate for Xu Damao.

As we all know, there are many young girls in Beijing, and prostitutes are everywhere. Correspondingly, the proportion of young widows is not large. After all, people cherish life.

But as long as you work hard, everything is not a dream. They found such a young widow. However, he is not Liang Ladi.

Xu Jixiang smoked his pipe and said slowly, "Da Mao, I still remember clearly the female helper who worked in the canteen of our steel plant. By the way, what was her name?"

"Liu Lan! She is a young widow."

When this name was mentioned, Xu Damao's eyes flashed with excitement: "Liu Lan has two children. She lives in the suburbs, so she is considered a town family. She also has a food allowance, so she lives a relatively affluent life."

Xu Damao went on to add that Liu Lan's husband was originally a temporary employee in the factory and unfortunately passed away, which made her identity and living conditions even more special.

According to the company regulations, it was originally forbidden to employ long-term fixed personnel for temporary work. However, Liu Lan's family was not well-off, which made her face more difficulties in life. Therefore, after understanding her specific situation, the factory leaders decided to arrange for her to work in the cafeteria to relieve her life pressure. This kind act also reflects the warmth of corporate management.

Upon learning that such familiar information about Liu Lan came from Damao, Xu Jixiang was slightly surprised for a moment, but then he understood and agreed with this profound insight.

After thinking about it, it is not difficult to find that Xu Damao is born with a tendency to chase after attractive young ladies; facing Liu Lan, a person with charming charm, his heart has long been unable to refuse.

Xu Jixiang calmly raised the key question: "Da Mao, the meaning of a wedding is different from the simple development of a relationship. If you choose to marry Liu Lan, you must take responsibility for her and the children she brings with her. Do you think this is achievable?"

Damao's father's words made Xu Damao realize the seriousness and importance of the matter. He put away his joking attitude and became serious: "Dad, I think it's okay. This is not only about me personally, but also about my responsibility to my future family."
