Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

A week later.

The incident of Xu Damao being beaten by He Yuzhu was gradually forgotten by the residents of the courtyard.

However, Xu Damao still felt humiliated by being beaten by He Yuzhu, but he couldn't think of any way to punish He Yuzhu.

I have no choice but to wait for an opportunity to deal with He Yuzhu.

There was one thing that Xu Damao couldn't wait to do.

When Xu Damao got home from get off work, he asked his mother, "Mom, have you found a matchmaker for me?"

Xu's mother asked in confusion: "Da Mao, why are you looking for a matchmaker?"

Hearing this, Xu Damao rolled his eyes in his heart and said angrily: "Mom, you don't care about my lifelong event at all!"

"It's Qin Xueru. I'm looking for a matchmaker to help me go to the house and propose marriage."

After hearing this, Xu's mother frowned and asked, "Da Mao, are you sure it was Qin Xueru?"

Xu Damao nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course, mother, you know how many benefits there are to marrying Qin Xueru."

After listening to what her son said, Xu's mother thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go find a matchmaker tomorrow morning."

"Da Mao, we can't be so enthusiastic when shaving peaches, understand?"

Xu Damao nodded impatiently and replied, "I know, I know."

Xu's mother glared and said, "Look at you, you get impatient when I say a few more words. I really don't want to care about you."

After saying that, he went to the simple kitchen built outside the house to cook.

When Xu Fugui got home from get off work, he learned from Xu's mother that her son had found a matchmaker to propose marriage to Qin Xueru. He was very optimistic, but when he thought about his son's character, he became a little worried.

Xu Fugui lit a cigarette and said to Xu Damao, "Da Mao, if you and Qin Xueru really get together, stop talking about those little things you did outside! Do you hear me?"

Xu Damao looked nonchalant, nodded and said, "I understand, Dad."

When Xu Fugui saw his son like this, he knew that he didn't care about what he said, so he shouted angrily: "Da Mao, are you stupid?"

"If Qin Xueru knew about the bad things you did outside and brought it to Li Qingshan, you would be in trouble."

"Don't forget that Li Qingshan is now the deputy chief of the security department. It's like playing with you."

"I haven't even mentioned Li Qingshan's brother Li Qingfeng yet! If Li Qingfeng helps you, you'll have to stay in jail for a while!"

Xu Damao was frightened by his father's words. Thinking that he might be fed up with oranges in the future, he quickly nodded and said, "I know, Dad. I will stop eating."

"Well, I'm glad to know."

Xu Fugui nodded and didn't say anything else to his son.

He has said everything he should say. It depends on whether his son changes in the future.

Early the next morning.

The residents of the courtyard go to work or to school.

After everyone in the family had left, Xu's mother cleaned up the house, closed the door, and went to look for a nearby matchmaker.

Ten minutes later, Xu's mother came to Matchmaker Wang's house and shouted into the house, "Matchmaker Wang, is Matchmaker Wang home?"

"here I am!"

Matchmaker Wang pushed open the door, looked at Xu's mother, and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

Xu's mother smiled and said, "Matchmaker Wang, I am from Xu Fugui's family at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. My son has fallen in love with your brother's daughter, and I came to you to help mediate between them."

"Oh, Sister Xu, please go in first."

After hearing this, matchmaker Wang smiled and stepped aside to let Xu's mother into the house. Then she poured a cup of sugar water and placed it on the table in front of Xu's mother, smiling and saying, "Sister Xu, drink some water."

"Thank you."

After walking along the way, Xu's mother felt a little thirsty, so she picked up the cup and drank in small sips.

Matchmaker Wang asked, "Sister Xu, which family is the girl from?"

Mother Xu put down the cup in her hand, wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, and then said with a smile: "Matchmaker Wang, this girl is from Qinjia Village in Changping, and her name is Qin Xueru."

After hearing this, matchmaker Wang started to wonder if the girl from Qinjia Village was so good that everyone wanted to marry a girl from Qinjia Village.

Mother Xu drank another sip of sugar water and continued, "Although Qin Xueru is from Qinjia Village, she works in the city."

"I now live in the east wing of No. 95 Courtyard..."

Matchmaker Wang interrupted Xu's mother and asked, "Does she have a relative named Qin Huairu?"

Hearing this, Xu's mother asked in surprise: "Matchmaker Wang, how did you know? Qin Xueru is Qin Huairu's sister."

Matchmaker Wang explained, "Sister Xu, I was the one who helped Qin Huairu and Li Qingshan reconcile."

"Although many years have passed, I remember it clearly. It was his brother who came to see me in person."

After hearing this, Xu's mother smiled and said, "Isn't this a coincidence?"

Matchmaker Wang nodded: "It's quite a coincidence."

Xu's mother continued, "Matchmaker Wang, let me tell you about my Damao's conditions."

"My son Xu Damao is just 20 years old this year. He works as a projectionist in the publicity department of the steel mill. Our family has two houses. If they get married, my husband and I will move to the old house."

As he spoke, he took out two dollars and handed them to Matchmaker Wang, then said, "Matchmaker Wang, don't worry, your matchmaker money will definitely be there."

After hearing this, Matchmaker Wang nodded and said with a smile, "The conditions are good, Sister Xu, I will go to your house and help you negotiate a reconciliation."

Hearing this, Xu's mother shook her head and said, "Matchmaker Wang, there's no one home now because they are all at work. You should go in the afternoon when everyone gets off work!"

After hearing this, Matchmaker Wang nodded and said, "Okay, Sister Xu, I understand. I will take care of this for you."

When Xu's mother heard this, she was very happy. Her son was finally going to have a wife, and she would be able to have a grandson.

After drinking the sugar water in her cup, Xu's mother stood up and said to Matchmaker Wang: "Matchmaker Wang, now that everything is settled, I will go back first. I still have a lot of things to do at home!"

Matchmaker Wang said, "Okay, I'll tell you if there's a letter."

Xu's mother walked to the door and said, "Matchmaker Wang, my home is in the backyard of No. 95 Courtyard. You can go there and ask around and you'll know."

"Qin Xueru lives with her sister, in the east wing of the quadrangle."

"Got it, Sister Xu."

Matchmaker Wang said to Xu's mother's back, "Sister Xu, take care."

Then Matchmaker Wang closed the door and continued to clean the house.

When Xu's mother returned home and saw her son at home, she couldn't help but ask, "Da Mao, why are you back?"

Xu Damao smiled and said, "Mom, Corey has no mission, so I came back for a visit."

Xu's mother jokingly asked her son, "You're just coming back for a visit?"

"hey-hey!"

Xu Damao didn't care about his mother's joke. He walked to his mother, put his hand on her shoulder, and said with a playful smile, "Mom, how is it going?"

Xu's mother rolled her eyes at her son and stopped teasing him. She said directly, "I have already told the matchmaker that she will come to your house after get off work in the afternoon to mediate for you. You will get the news tomorrow."

After hearing this, Xu Damao smiled foolishly and murmured, "That's good, that's good."
