"Old Lady."
Everyone greeted her. Old Mrs. Qin seemed to be in good spirits today. She was in high spirits after a happy occasion.
Yu Cheng could be considered a junior to her. When Zhang Jianming left, he entrusted her to take care of him.
Old Mrs. Qin was also very fond of Yu Cheng. Just like He Yuzhu, she already treated him as her grandson.
Today, her grandson was treating her to a meal. She had come as an elder of Yu Chengjia and had even specially prepared a red packet.
"Old Madam, who is this beautiful lady beside you?”
"Could it be your granddaughter? Why haven't I heard you mention her before?”
"She's so good-looking. In the past, she would definitely be the daughter of a capitalist.”
"What nonsense are you talking about? Can't the daughter of a hardworking person look good?”
"Yes, yes, yes. I'm not good with words. Hahaha, anyway, it's good-looking. I like it from the bottom of my heart.”
Old Mrs. Qin was all smiles when she heard that. She scolded him jokingly.
"I won't let you even if you like her. I value her and she'll be my granddaughter-in-law in the future.”
Hmm?
Everyone was puzzled. They had never heard that Old Madam Qin had a grandson.
Yu Cheng recognized her. It was Lou Xiao'e.
He had really forgotten that Old Madam Qin had a close relationship with the Lou family. In the original novel, it seemed that it was Old Madam Qin who pulled the strings for Lou Xiao'e to marry Xu Damao. Old Madam Qin felt very guilty about this.
Lou Xiao'e blushed.
Old Mrs. Qin invited her to the courtyard house for the blind date.
The Lou family was a capitalist. In this era, such a background was the worst.
Although she was only 18 years old, she had to get married early for her family and parents.
The candidates were naturally those with good family backgrounds, such as poor farmers, farm laborers, and so on.
Previously, Xu Damao was born into a good family and had a high salary. In the eyes of others, he was the kind with a promising future.
Although Old Mrs. Qin didn't like Xu Damao's character, she didn't want to delay Lou Xiao'e.
But now, there was an even better one.
"Little Cheng, come quickly."
Old Mrs. Qin greeted Yu Cheng and asked him to come over. Yu Cheng quickly walked over and looked at the old Mrs. Qin with a smile.
"It's not even dinner time yet. You're here so early.”
"Look at what you're saying. The housewarming is a big deal. Your parents aren't around, so I'll be your elder. Of course, I have to come early.”
Old Mrs. Qin took out a red packet wrapped in a red cloth. Yu Cheng wanted to refuse, but the old lady stuffed it into his shirt pocket.
"This old woman's body is not in good condition, so don't push me away.”
"Alright, I'll accept the old lady's kindness.”
"That's right, good luck.”
After Old Mrs. Qin finished speaking, the surrounding neighbors also congratulated her.
In this era, there were three great things in life: work, wedding night, and housewarming.
People who had just come back from the old times knew very well how difficult it was to have a stable home.
" Oh right, let me introduce you. This is the daughter of one of my juniors…"
"Old lady, we've known each other for a long time.”
Yu Cheng turned to look at Lou Xiao'e with a smile.
Lou Xiao'e didn't expect Yu Cheng to expose her so quickly. Although they had only officially met yesterday, she thought that Yu Cheng's words were not wrong.
"You guys already knew each other?"
Old Mrs. Qin was pleasantly surprised. She laughed and said,"Hahaha, good, good. This is fate. Little Cheng, don't think that Xiao'e is a few years older than you.”
Everyone around them was enlightened when they heard what Mrs. Qin said.
It turned out that this beautiful girl named Lou Xiao'e was someone that Old Madam Qin wanted to introduce to Yu Cheng.
"They're quite compatible."
"Yes, yes, not bad. I feel pretty good too. It's just a little big.”
"What are you saying? As the old saying goes, a third year female student is carrying a gold brick.”
"Little Cheng is only fifteen this year, right? There are still three years left.”
"Let's talk about a partner first. Three years is very fast. Now that Xiao Cheng has a job, his family is rich, and he has a house, it's not bad.”
As the surrounding people discussed, Lou Xiao'e's face could not help but turn red.
The little girl was already thin-skinned, so she became even more shy when she was said like this.
Old Mrs. Qin was delighted.
"Old Madam, you're too anxious. I still want to stabilize myself first.”
Yu Cheng did not refuse or agree. Lou Xiao'e was not bad, but the two of them did not have any relationship foundation.
Moreover, he was indeed too young, and this era was also conservative.
There were too many people today, so he couldn't agree to this matter. Otherwise, when the neighbors said it outside, there would be no room for change.
He also didn't believe that Lou Xiao'e would fall in love with him at first sight. It was just because of his teasing that she was a little moved.
Not far away, He Yushui was anxious. She was going to introduce Yu Haitang to Yu Cheng today.
She didn't expect Old Madam Qin to bring a girl with her, and Lou Xiao'e looked more elegant than Yu Haitang.
Compared to Lou Xiao'e, Yu Haitang was like a flower bud. After all, she had not grown up.
"I didn't expect him to be so popular.”
"Hmm? Aren't you going to give up?"
"Why should I give up? Didn't you hear him say that he doesn't want to get a partner yet? Besides, I can wait.”
Yu Haitang was only sixteen this year, so she could afford to wait.
"The old lady is a man of her word in our courtyard. I'm afraid that Little Cheng will listen to her.”
"I don't think so. I think he's a person with his own opinions. He'll definitely follow his own wishes.”
"Do you like Little Cheng that much?"
"I can't say that I like him, but I think I'll like him in the future.”
He Yushui shook her head helplessly. She knew that Yu Haitang had always been a strong-willed person.
The harder it was to obtain something, the more she wanted it.
"Alright, I wish you success."
"Thank you."
Yu Haitang and He Yushui's private conversation was heard by He Yuzhu.
He glanced at his sister, then at Yu Haitang and Lou Xiao'e, and finally sighed helplessly.
"Forget it. My sister still knows her limits.”
·············
The sun hung high in the sky.
It was finally time for dinner.
He Yuzhu called for someone to bring the dishes to the table.
There were a total of four tables today. Originally, there were three tables. It was just nice that everyone from every courtyard house had come.
Qin Huairu's family was up to no good again.
The children didn't need to be at the table. They couldn't eat much, and they took up a lot of space. He just gave them some meat to the side.
But Jia Zhang-shi insisted on having her four children at the table.
It was a big day, so she didn't want to cause a scene. She let the children sit on the table and set up four tables.
"Sorry, I'm late. Haha, it's already started.”
Just as they were about to start, Xu Damao hurriedly ran back from outside.
