Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

"Hey, if you mention the devil, look at the way they look, you know this blind date is not going to work." The second aunt whispered to the first aunt, her eyes full of regret, and she also patted the first aunt's shoulder to comfort her. This action seemed to tell the first aunt not to worry too much and just let everything go.

The aunt sighed, and that sigh was full of helplessness and concern as an elder. Then she stood up and slowly walked towards the center of the yard, each step seemed so firm and powerful. "Okay, let's not guess here. It's not a good idea to just talk about it here. Let's go over and ask them what's going on. Maybe we can give them some advice and point out a way forward." After saying that, she quickened her pace and almost walked quickly towards Xu Damao and He Yuzhu, revealing an unquestionable determination from behind.

So, Auntie One, Auntie Two and several other enthusiastic neighbors all walked towards Xu Damao and He Yuzhu, and the yard became lively again because of this concern and expectation. Everyone gathered in a semicircle, talking and sharing their own experiences of love when they were young, hoping to find a glimmer of hope for the two young people's lifelong event.

"Da Mao, you have to learn from your uncle. When he was pursuing your aunt, he put in a lot of effort. Don't underestimate his little tricks." The second aunt patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Yuzhui, you have to change your straightforward temper. Think more before you speak and don't speak out at once. Sometimes, being more tactful and subtle can move people more." The aunt looked at He Yuzhui, her eyes full of love and expectation.

……

Just as everyone gathered together, sharing their love experiences with Xu Damao and He Yuzhu, trying to open a new door for them, there was a hurried sound of footsteps in the yard, with a bit of urgency and joy in the sound. Everyone turned their heads and saw a middle-aged woman with neat clothes and a kind face standing at the gate of the yard, holding a basket of freshly picked fruits in her hands. The fragrance of the fruits seemed to spread with her arrival.

"Oh, isn't this Matchmaker Li? You come here at this time, could it be that you bring some good news?" The sharp-eyed Second Aunt recognized the person immediately and hurried forward with a flattering smile on her face. That smile showed both her trust in Matchmaker Li and her anticipation for the good news she was about to hear.

Matchmaker Li's eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled, and that smile seemed to dispel all the haze in an instant. She smiled and nodded, looking around at the people who came around, her eyes full of kindness and warmth. After a light cough, she slowly spoke, with a bit of excitement and joy in her voice: "Dear neighbors and fellow villagers, I came here today because I do have good news to tell you. And it is related to the two young men in our No. 95 courtyard, Xu Damao and He Yuzhu."

Upon hearing this, everyone's ears pricked up. Even Xu Damao and He Yuzhu, who had been dejected just now, instantly became energetic. There was a gleam of expectation in their eyes, as if they had seen a ray of light in the darkness.

"Really? Matchmaker Li, please tell me what the good news is?" Auntie asked impatiently, her tone showing both urgency and deep trust in Matchmaker Li. At this moment, the whole courtyard fell silent, and all eyes were focused on Matchmaker Li, waiting for her next words, and the good news that belonged to Courtyard No. 95.

Matchmaker Li gently handed the fruit basket in her hand to the aunt who was greeting her with a smile. The basket was full of fresh and tempting fruits, as if foreshadowing that the good news that was about to come would be as sweet and exciting as the fruits.

She spoke slowly, with a bit of gentleness and joy in her voice: "I have been worrying about these two young talents in our No. 95 courtyard house recently. For Xu Damao, I have found a girl who is gentle and hardworking. The girl is very satisfied with Xu Damao's smart and capable work ability and ambition. I just heard that he is a little smart in his character. But the girl also expressed that she is willing to get in touch with each other and get to know each other to see if there is really so much tacit understanding and sparks.

As for He Yuzhu, I introduced him to a cheerful and considerate girl. The girl said that she particularly liked He Yuzhu's rare sincerity and excellent cooking skills, which made her salivate! However, the girl also made a small request, which was that she hoped that He Yuzhu could pay a little more attention to his words in the future, not be so blunt, and speak more fluently. She would be willing to continue to develop a relationship with him and weave a beautiful future together."

"Great! This is really a blessing from heaven, good things come in pairs!" The yard suddenly rang out with warm cheers, just like the flowers in spring blooming collectively at this moment, full of vitality and vigor. Xu Damao and He Yuzhu were so excited that they almost jumped up, their eyes flashed with unbelievable light, as if telling themselves that all this was true, and happiness really fell on their heads.

"But, young men, I have to give you a heads up first." Matchmaker Li changed the subject and said earnestly, "This blind date is only the first step in a long journey. If you want to really be together, you still have to rely on your own efforts. Remember, treat others sincerely, respect each other, communicate more, and understand more. This is the way to get along for a long time. Don't let my hard work down, and don't let the girls down!"

"Don't worry, Matchmaker Li, we will remember your teachings and will never let you down!" Xu Damao and He Yuzhu answered in unison, their tone full of firmness and determination, as if announcing to the world that they are ready to meet new challenges and pursue their own happiness.

With the departure of Matchmaker Li, the courtyard of No. 95 was filled with laughter again, just like the land that had been dry for a long time and was moistened by the rain. Everyone gathered around and gave Xu Damao and He Yuzhu advice on how to better prepare for the next date, how to show their best side, and how to win the hearts of the girls.

Although the well digging work is still in full swing, everyone in the courtyard is filled with warmth and hope because of this unexpected good news. They talked and laughed, as if celebrating a common victory, a victory about love, growth, and change. In this small courtyard, they witnessed each other's growth and change together, and they also believed more firmly that as long as there is love in their hearts, destined people will eventually meet, and happiness will always come to everyone who strives for it.
