Four Nine City.
The other courtyard was much bigger than the courtyard where Li Chengye lived. It could accommodate dozens of families.
It was Lou Xiao'e's house.
Before Liberation, Lou Xiao'e's grandfather was a well-run family, and it grew stronger in the hands of Lou Xiao'e's father.
This huge courtyard house was the property passed down by Lou Xiao'e's ancestors.
However, the situation changed later. Lou Xiao'e's father took the initiative to donate the house, leaving two houses for his family to live in.
The rest of the courtyards were occupied by ordinary workers.
"Auntie Zhang, what kind of person is Xu Damao that you introduced to me?”
In the room, Lou Xiao'e was complaining to a robust middle-aged woman.
"I heard from the old lady in the same courtyard as him that this Xu Damao has a bad heart.”
"No one in the entire Siheyuan has a good relationship with her. If I marry her, won't I fall into a fire pit?”
This Aunt Zhang used to be a servant in Lou Xiao'e's house. She used to take care of Lou Xiao'e for a few years.
At that time, Lou Xiao'e's family had always treated Nanny Zhang well, so even if it was because of the family composition, not many people dared to interact with the Lou family.
Nanny Zhang still often went to the Lou family's house. She was a warm-hearted person and had a lot of information. She knew everything about the situation in this area.
Many people who wanted to find a partner begged her to introduce them, and she became a full-time matchmaker.
The others didn't dare to introduce Lou Xiao'e to her, so only Auntie Zhang was willing to come.
"Miss!"
Nanny Zhang was just about to say something when she was interrupted by Father Lou.
"Auntie Zhang, don't call me Miss. There's no such thing as Miss or Young Master in the new society. You can just call me Xiao'e.”
Lou Xiao'e's mother also nodded repeatedly. Their family background was not good to begin with.
If Auntie Zhang continued to address her like this, it would only bring a lot of trouble to her family.
"Okay, Xiao'e!"
Nanny Zhang was used to calling him that. When she heard Father Lou say that, she immediately changed her words.
"I've heard of Xu Damao before. He's indeed a little petty, but he's a movie projectionist at the Red Star Rolling Mill. It's easy and his salary is not low.”
"The most important thing is that Xu Damao's family background is good. His parents were poor farmers, and he himself was a worker.”
Hearing Nanny Zhang's words, Lou Xiao'e's parents were silent. They didn't like people like Xu Damao.
They were not willing to marry their precious daughter to such a person.
However, the composition was not good. Who knew how much hardship Lou Xiao'e would have to suffer if she married him in the future.
At the very least, Xu Damao's salary was high and his family background was good. Lou Xiao'e's life would be easier if she married him.
"By the way, Auntie Zhang, that old lady said that there's a person called Silly Zhu in the courtyard who's not bad. She said that she wanted to introduce him to Xiao'e.”
Lou Xiao'e's mother remembered that her daughter had told her about the blind date after she came home. She hurriedly asked Nanny Zhang if she knew.
"How is this Silly Zhu compared to that Xu Damao?”
"The Silly Zhu you're talking about, I know, everyone in this area knows, he's the master of the canteen in the rolling mill, and he has quite a few disciples under him.”
When Auntie Zhang heard the name Silly Zhu, she knew who she was talking about.
"I heard that he's very honest and sincere, but he's a little short and old.”
"Speaking of which, he's really a little better than Xu Damao, but his composition is not as good as Xu Damao's.”
After all, Auntie Zhang did not live in that courtyard, so she had heard a lot about Silly Zhu's situation.
Lou Xiao'e's parents were very happy when they heard Nanny Zhang's words.
When he heard the last sentence, he hesitated.
The first goal of their matchmaking for Lou Xiao'e was to have a good background, and the second was their own conditions.
"Auntie Zhang, is there someone called Li Chengye in their courtyard?”
Although the Deaf Old Lady said that Li Chengye was not good enough, Lou Xiao'e had a good first impression of Li Chengye.
"Li Chengye."
This time, Auntie Zhang hesitated.
"What, Auntie Zhang, this person can't do it?”
Seeing Auntie Zhang's hesitation, Lou Xiao'e was a little disappointed.
"It's not impossible. I've seen this young man once. He's quite upright and tall. His appearance is better than Xu Damao and Silly Zhu combined.”
"The salary is not bad either. He's a fitter in the Red Star Rolling Mill.”
After Nanny Zhang told them about Li Chengye's conditions, Mother Lou and Lou Xiao'e were very happy.
"Auntie Zhang, why didn't you introduce him to me earlier?”
Father Lou was more knowledgeable. He knew that there must be a problem when he saw Nanny Zhang's appearance.
"What's wrong, Auntie Zhang? Is Li Chengye not a good person?”
Lou Cheng's father frowned and asked. If Li Chengye's background was the same as his family, then he would be in big trouble in the future.
"It's not that it's not good. It's really great.”
Nanny Zhang quickly waved her hand and said,"I'm just afraid that he won't like us. He's a martyr."”
Lou Xiao'e's parents were shocked when they heard this. It was no wonder that Nanny Zhang didn't introduce Li Chengye to Lou Xiao'e.
The difference in status was really too great. Auntie Zhang almost said that they were too high to be worthy of it.
"Auntie Zhang, why don't you help me introduce them?”
Lou Xiao'e also knew that Li Chengye's conditions were much better than hers. She knew that she was not worthy of him, but she was still a little unwilling.
After all, Li Chengye was much better than Xu Damao.
Seeing their daughter like this, Lou Cheng's parents sighed. Lou Cheng's father felt a deep sense of self-blame.
If it weren't for him, it wouldn't be so difficult for his daughter to find a partner with her looks. There would probably be countless people coming to propose marriage every day.
"If he really doesn't like me, I'll marry Xu Damao.”
Lou Xiao'e closed her eyes and said as if she had accepted her fate.
According to Auntie Zhang, Silly Zhu's conditions were better than Xu Damao's, but Silly Zhu's composition was not enough. Just this alone was not enough.
Lou Xiao'e didn't just want to get out of the sea of suffering herself. She also wanted to help her parents.
"Then let me try!"
Nanny Zhang also knew about the Lou family's situation. The Lou family had always treated her well. If it weren't for the Lou family, she wouldn't have been able to raise her children.
He made up his mind that he would personally make a trip to the Siheyuan in a few days to deal with Li Chengye.
