Siheyuan: I am Yi Zhonghai's biological son

It turns out that Sha Zhu is very talented in cooking. The boiled fish fillets he makes are very fragrant. The eaters are happy, and the cooks are also happy.

After dinner, and seeing off the deaf old lady Sha Zhu and Yu Shui, Yi Ping'an told Yi Zhonghai about the matchmaking that the third uncle wanted to propose to him today.

"Dad, if Third Uncle tells you that he wants to introduce me to someone, don't agree to it. Not to mention who he'll introduce me to, I'm still young now. Let's talk about it when I'm old enough." Yi Ping'an was afraid that his father would get too excited and agree immediately, so he made it clear in advance.

"Uncle Three wants to introduce you to a girl? With his personality of not doing anything without profit? Okay, I get it." Yi Zhonghai expressed doubt about Uncle Three's motives.

Hearing that his father agreed, Yi Ping'an felt relieved. He didn't want to have anything to do with Ran Qiuye. If he didn't have that kind of intention towards her, he shouldn't involve the girl's reputation.

By this weekend, Yi Ping'an had been idle for several days. He had to go to work next week, so he couldn't just sit there all the time. He decided to go to the factory and see if he could make the calculator.

After breakfast on Sunday morning, Yu Shui brought her books to find Yi Ping'an and asked her all the questions she didn't know how to answer. Yi Ping'an also explained to her that this girl was indeed smart and if she worked hard, getting into a technical secondary school should not be a problem.

"Brother Ping'an, do you have anything to do today?" Yu Shui finished her homework and wanted to go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy a book. Her composition was not very good, and her teacher suggested that she read more essays written by celebrities.

It just so happened that Yi Ping'an had a bicycle, so he wanted to arrange for us to go out together without having to walk, and asked Yi Ping'an for help with some advice.

"I'm fine today. What's wrong? Are you okay?" Yi Ping'an asked her.

"Then can you take me to Xinhua Bookstore? I want to buy a book of prose. I'm not very good at writing."

"Okay, let's go, I'll take you there."

Yi Ping'an rode his bike with Yu Shui to Xinhua Bookstore and bought the best-selling collection of essays. Yi Ping'an also bought several sets of picture books. He had only read these things when he was very young in his previous life, and every time he read them now, he always felt a sense of nostalgia.

On the way back, Yu Shui looked at Yi Ping'an's bicycle with longing in his eyes.

"Want it?" Yi Ping'an asked her when he saw her like this. After all, in the eyes of people of this era, this was an extraordinary existence.

Yu Shui shook her head. "Tickets are hard to get. If I had known, I would have bought them last year. Tickets weren't even required at that time."

"As for tickets, I do have one." Yi Ping'an did have a bicycle ticket.

"You still have the ticket? Didn't you just buy one?" Yu Shui was a little surprised.

"Yes, if you want it, I'll give it to you. I don't have any use for it." Yi Ping'an wanted this ticket simply because the finance department didn't give him food coupons, so he simply asked for a larger ticket.

"Let me go back and ask my brother. If I need anything, I'll come to you." She had saved enough money for the rainwater, but a ticket like this was not cheap. She had to ask Sha Zhu before making a decision. She couldn't take advantage of Yi Ping'an.

On the way back, Yi Ping'an saw Xu Damao riding a bicycle with a female comrade following him. Yi Ping'an had sharp ears and heard Xu Damao call the female comrade "Xiao'e".

Yi Ping'an knew it. This was Lou Xiao'e. To be honest, she was really beautiful. In terms of temperament, she was much better than Qin Huairu.

Seeing the two people entering Donglaishun, Yi Pingan thought that the party might as well be ruined, so he said to Yushui, "Yushui, do you want to eat hot pot?"

"Shabu-shabu?" Yu Shui looked up and saw Dong Lai Shun, nodded and said, "Brother Ping An, let me treat you. Yesterday you treated me to roast duck, today I will treat you to shabu-shabu.

"Forget it, you should save that money for your schooling. You're not making money now. When you graduate and get a job, invite me back. I'll treat you today. I don't need a meal from Donglaishun." Yi Ping'an would never let Yu Shui pay for it. Besides, he had to rely on this girl to tell Sha Zhu.

As they were talking, the two of them walked into Donglaishun. As soon as they came in, they saw Xu Damao standing with his back to the door, ordering food with Lou Xiaoe.

Yi Ping'an did not disturb them. He and Yu Shui sat behind them not far away. Yi Ping'an sat with his back to Xu Damao. He listened to the conversation over there while letting Yu Shui order the dishes. There was no need to order anything to save money.

"Xiao'e, try this, it tastes good..."

"Xiao'e, your smile is like the sun in the sky, bright and shining..."

"Xiao'e, you don't know, when movies are shown in the countryside, it's so lively, there are so many people..."

"Xiao'e, do you know what? Let's watch a movie..."

Yi Ping'an got goosebumps when he heard this. Xu Damao was indeed a movie projectionist, he was very eloquent. In this era, projectionists had to give explanations, and without some cultural knowledge, they would not be able to succeed.

Moreover, this guy is quite good at talking. He only talked about the interesting things about showing movies in the countryside and never mentioned anything about his family. That's right, in terms of family background, who can compare with Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e was also amused by him and laughed. It seemed that they were getting along well. Yi Ping'an was a little unsure. If they were in love with each other, it would be difficult to interfere.

Forget it, let’s leave it to Sha Zhu. You should know that the person who understands you may not be your friend, but he is definitely your enemy.

At this time, Yu Shui had finished ordering the dishes. When she looked up, she saw Xu Damao and the other man sitting diagonally opposite her. Her eyes widened and she pointed with her finger, motioning Yi Ping'an to look behind.

Yi Ping'an looked back and pretended to be surprised, then made a "hush" gesture. Yu Shui nodded and understood!

Yi Ping'an and his friend ate the meal in silence, while Xu Damao talked passionately. Yi Ping'an had finished eating, but the other one hadn't even finished half of it.

After paying the bill, the rain could no longer be held back.

"Brother Ping An, is that brother Damao going on a blind date?"

"That's probably the case. It's almost certain that we can go out for dinner together." Yi Ping'an replied to her.

"I think that girl is not from an ordinary family. Her clothes don't look cheap at all. I wonder whose family they belong to?" Yu Shui has been taken in and out of wealthy families by her father since she was a child, so she must have some experience.

"The girl's surname is Lou." Yi Ping'an said indifferently.

"How do you know? Do you know him?" Yu Shui thought Yi Ping'an knew him.

"I don't know that girl. This is what I heard." Yi Ping'an said, pointing to his ear.

"Lou? This surname is not common. The director of the steel rolling mill has the surname Lou, and his nickname is Lou Bancheng." Yu Shui said.

"Oh, you know this too?" Yi Ping'an teased Yu Shui.

"Tsk, who are you looking down on? I've been to his house before. His third concubine is from the Tan family. My father worked in her house. Later, she married Lou Bancheng and became his concubine. She often asked my father to cook for her.

I was still young at that time, and my father always took care of me and asked Aunt Feng in the backyard to look after me. Aunt Feng was Damao’s mother…”

Yu Shui suddenly stopped talking here, looked at Yi Ping An, his eyes widened, and then asked in a low voice: "Brother Ping An, you just said that the girl's surname is Lou? Did you hear it right?"

Yi Pingan shook his head: "You must have heard it wrong. I am closer to Brother Damao than you are, and my ears have always been good."

"Then...could that girl be that Lou?" What a smart girl! She guessed it right away.

"I don't know. I have only met Lou Bancheng. How could I have the chance to meet his family?" Yi Ping'an shook his head and said.

"It must be her. Aunt Feng serves Mrs. Tan. Mrs. Tan has a daughter who is three years older than me. She took me out to play when I was a child and brought me delicious food. She was a very nice person. Her name seems to be... Xiao'e. Yes! Yes, it's Lou Xiao'e." The more Yu Shui spoke, the more certain she became.

"If what you said is true, then it should be her. Didn't you hear Brother Damao call her Xiao'e?" Yi Ping'an said affirmatively.

Yu Shui was stunned after hearing what Yi Ping'an said. She couldn't believe it. This was obviously not a good match. Lou Xiao'e was a lady from a wealthy family, and Xu Damao was the son of a servant. How could this be possible?

How could a girl like Yu Shui know the above things? She just simply felt that they were not a good match and that they were not a good match. She even wondered if Xu Damao was cheating on her. How could it be a blind date?

This Xu Damao is so bad. No wonder her brother always says that Xu Damao is not a good person. Of course he is not a good person. How could he lie to others?

The more Yu Shui thought about it, the angrier she became. She pursed her lips and her face looked a little grim.

Yi Ping'an took her back to the courtyard. He took advantage of He Yushui, which made him feel a little guilty. He decided to bring back some clothes for the girl in two days as compensation.
