Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

In the small courtyard of the third uncle's house, the afterglow of the setting sun filled every corner. Several uncles and aunts sat together, fans in their hands, waving them to dispel the remaining summer heat, while discussing the recent big event in the courtyard - Xu Damao and He Yuzhu's simultaneous blind dates.

"Have you heard? The girl Xu Damao is going on a blind date this time is Li Taohua. I've seen that girl. She's pretty and cheerful. She's a good match for Xu Damao." The third uncle spoke first, with a gossipy smile on his face.

"Yes, yes, I heard about it too. I heard that Li Taohua is from the countryside, but she is not simple. She is educated and knowledgeable, and is no worse than the girls in the city." The auntie next to her continued, her eyes flashing with curiosity and admiration for the new girl.

"Well, come to think of it, He Yuzhu is also not ambiguous. He and Zhong Bailian have a good affinity. Zhong Bailian is gentle and virtuous. You can tell at first glance that she is a good wife who can manage the household." Another old man interrupted, obviously optimistic about both pairs.

"Although Xu Damao and He Yuzhu don't get along normally, they are quite in sync on this matter. They both went on blind dates together. I wonder if this can be considered fate, haha." The third aunt said with a smile, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"Whether it's fate or not depends on how they manage it themselves. But then again, our Siheyuan hasn't been this lively for a long time. When these two things happened, everyone's spirits were lifted." The third uncle sighed, his eyes revealing his cherishment for the harmonious atmosphere of the Siheyuan.

"That's right. As old neighbors, we are most concerned about the happiness of the children. Whether it's Xu Damao or He Yuzhu, we will feel relieved if they can find someone who understands us." The aunties nodded one after another, their tone full of care and expectation for the younger generation.

"By the way, has anyone of you gone to find out how their blind date is going? We can prepare in advance. If it works out, we have to celebrate it properly." The third uncle suddenly proposed, and everyone agreed.

At the home of the second uncle Liu Haizhong, the atmosphere was equally warm and curious. The lights in the house were dim, and the family sat around an old wooden table with a few simple home-cooked dishes on it. But everyone's attention was obviously not on the food, but on the news that Xu Damao and He Yuzhu were both dating.

"You see, Xu Damao and He Yuzhu are usually like fighting cocks. They always fight when they meet. But this time, they go on a blind date together." The second uncle said with his bangs, picking up a piece of food with chopsticks, his eyes full of gossip.

"Yes, Dad, I heard that Li Taohua, the girl Xu Damao is dating this time, is a very capable girl. She comes from the countryside, but she is very experienced. I wonder if Xu Damao can control her." The second uncle's son Liu Guangfu said with a smile, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"Control? Humph, that boy Xu Damao, he'd better not be controlled by the girl. But then again, He Yuzhu's side is not easy either. Zhong Bailian is well-known for being gentle and virtuous, but I don't know if she can stand his hot temper." The second aunt interrupted, tapping the edge of the bowl lightly with chopsticks in her hand, looking worried and curious.

"I think whether these two people can succeed depends on themselves. We outsiders are just here to join in the fun and watch the show." Xiaofang, the daughter of the second uncle, said. She has always been more rational and always holds a bystander attitude towards these things.

"Having said that, how can we not care about what happens in our courtyard? If Xu Damao and He Yuzhu can really find a suitable partner, it will be a good thing for our entire courtyard." The second uncle put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "After all, a harmonious family is the foundation of everything."

"Yes, yes, Dad is right. Let's wait and see whether these two guys can bring us good news." Liu Guangfu echoed, with an expectant smile on his face.

At the home of Uncle Yi Zhonghai, it was late at night, but the lights in the house were still warm and bright. Yi Zhonghai sat on an old rattan chair, holding a yellowed book in his hand, but his eyes drifted from time to time to his wife sitting opposite him and other aunts in the yard, who were enthusiastically discussing the blind date between Xu Damao and He Yuzhu at the same time.

"My dear, have you heard? Xu Damao and He Yuzhu both went on blind dates, and this matter has caused a big uproar in the courtyard." An aunt spoke first, with a bit of excitement on her face.

"Yeah, I heard about it. These two guys usually fight like black-eyed chickens, but I didn't expect that they are in sync when it comes to finding wives." Yi Zhonghai smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a bit of the kindness and tolerance of an elder.

"Yes, Zhonghai, I heard that girl Li Taohua is pretty good. Although she came from the countryside, she is hardworking and capable. She is a good match for that boy Xu Damao." Aunt Chen took over the conversation, her tone full of concern for the younger generation.

"As for He Yuzhu, Zhong Bailian is also a good girl, gentle and virtuous. I just don't know if she can stand his hot temper." The aunt added with a bit of worry on her face.

"As elders, we can only watch the affairs of these children from the sidelines. However, as long as they can find someone who treats them sincerely, we will feel relieved." Yi Zhonghai sighed softly, his eyes full of expectations and blessings for the younger generation.

"That's right, Zhonghai. The children in our courtyard are just like our own children. If they are happy, we are happy too." An old lady sighed, clutching a handkerchief tightly in her hand, as if she was praying silently for the children.

"By the way, Zhonghai, should we do something? For example, give them some gifts or help them find blind dates?" An aunt suddenly suggested with an enthusiastic smile on her face.

"Well, this is a good idea. Although we can't directly interfere in their affairs, we should give them some care and support." Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement, with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes.

Therefore, the family began to discuss how to send a token of their love to Xu Damao and He Yuzhu, so that they could feel the warmth and care from the Siheyuan family on their blind date. This friendship and spirit of mutual assistance among neighbors was best interpreted and inherited in Yi Zhonghai's home.
