Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 297 Loser Xu Damao
Just after the New Year, Xu Damao was arranged to go to the countryside for more than a month.

I didn't get home until dawn today.

Tired from the journey, I fell asleep right now.

If he hadn't been woken up by Xu's mother, he might have continued to sleep.

Xu Damao thought he was being asked to eat, so he turned over in displeasure: "You guys eat first, I'm not hungry, let me sleep more."

Xu's mother snorted: "You're still sleeping. Your wife has been snatched away, and you're still sleeping."

Xu Damao was startled and then said: "You are crazy about your daughter-in-law. Where did I get my daughter-in-law?"

Xu's mother said: "Lou Xiao'e, Miss Lou Bancheng's family, I told you before."

Xu's mother has been helping the Lou family and is deeply trusted by the Lou Tan family, so she has a good understanding of their family's affairs.

Xu's mother had already told Xu Damao about the situation of Lou Zhenhua's family.

After several rounds of lobbying, coupled with the deliberate exaggeration of the impact of a bad background, Lou Tan was somewhat moved.

In addition, his daughter is now quite old and time waits for no one, so he considers Xu Damao as a candidate after he leaves.

Xu's mother sighed: "We're not married yet, but we'll be getting married soon. You, you have no chance!"

When Xu Damao heard the bad news, he sat up in excitement: "What do you mean? Lou Xiao'e is getting married?"

That was something he could never earn from working as a projectionist for several lifetimes.

A mere projectionist is like a sweet bun to others, and that's just the way it is to him.

"Lou Bancheng and his family are all at Jiang Chen's house today, just to finalize the marriage."

After discussing with Lou Zhenhua, the answer given years ago was to allow them to think about it for some more time.

Of course Xu Damao is happy.

Xu's mother said bitterly: "It's not that Jiang Chen who introduced his cousin to Lou Xiao'e. It seems that his background is no worse than yours. The flooring factory is very satisfied."

Therefore, Xu Damao was extremely willing and looking forward to this marriage.

He also said that Lou Xiao'e was beautiful and well-behaved. After getting married, the family went to live in a big villa.

"I have a clean background and am a member of the Eighth National Congress. Who else is suitable for me?"

The only thing is Xu Damao's background.

Xu's mother keenly discovered that something big was about to happen, and she was so happy that she told Xu Wood and Xu Damao's father and son about the news.

Lou Bancheng didn't like Xu Damao.

Xu Damao sounded a little angry: "Didn't Lou Zhenhua always want to find a son-in-law for Lou Xiao'e with a good background?

Moreover, Xu's mother also used the convenience of helping the Lou family to lobby the Lou Tan family to marry Lou Xiao'e to Xu Damao.

If you really can't find the right person, then consider Xu Damao.

What's more, Lou Bancheng, as the owner of the previous steel rolling mill, has very good connections. With this line, he will definitely be able to rise to prominence in the future.

Whether Lou Xiao'e is pretty or not is another matter, but Lou Bancheng's status and wealth alone are enough to make his heart flutter.

Xu Damao was stunned: "Jiang Chen?"

It's Jiang Chen's reason why he hasn't come back for so long.

That's the drink, he didn't give up at all.

He was also afraid that Jiang Chen would find out and that his way up would be cut off, so he hid outside and continued to try to quit drinking.

But it failed miserably.

Xu's mother said: "You treat him as a friend, and others treat you as a piece of shit. It's not polite at all to poach you."

Xu Damao was speechless.

He began to think in his heart, as if he had been beaten twice and lost a gold mountain because of Jiang Chen.

The first time was when he stopped Liu Yue and received a beating.

Then on New Year's Eve, he went to Luo Xue for a drink and got another beating.

Now even more of the fat in my mouth has flown away.

The gold and silver, the big villa, and the good future are all gone.

It's strange that he has a good impression of Jiang Chen, but he knows that Jiang Chen is someone he can't afford to offend.

I can only hold in my unhappiness, and I can only smile when I see Jiang Chen.

Xu's mother saw Xu Damao in a daze and said, "What are you doing here? Think of a solution quickly. If you can marry Xiao'e, our family will have endless money to live in a big house and live a good life." Good times.”

"Are you just going to give up?"

Xu Damao said: "What else can I do if I don't give in? Lou Bancheng himself agreed, and the matter is settled. No one can change it." "Is it possible that I can still snatch Lou Xiao'e over?"

Xu's mother sighed: "It's all because of your failure. You left after the New Year and didn't go home for more than a month."

"If you were at home, I would give it a push and meet earlier to settle the matter, and there wouldn't be so many changes."

After all, she is only helping and cannot influence other people's thoughts.

At Jiang Chen's house, everyone sat in the kitchen and started eating hot pot.

The hot pot is a Yuanyang pot, which is an ordinary pot with a partition welded in the middle and divided into two pieces, one spicy and the other non-spicy.

The stock in the white pot is made from native chicken and mushrooms, and it is very fragrant.

Because he didn’t know if the Lou family could eat spicy food.

Today, others are the protagonists. If someone comes and can't eat spicy food, it will be embarrassing, so be prepared.

The wine was the palace jade liquor brought by Lei Jie.

Although the wine was limited, Jiang Chen was still willing to give it to him in his good days.

Lou Zhenhua's daughter has found a home, and he has found a way to preserve his wealth, and he is in a good mood.

Lou Tan looked at Zhang Huajun, then at Jiang Chen, and sighed secretly.

Most women are like this, they naturally like to compare.

Looking at Liu Yue and then at his daughter, there seems to be no comparison.

At any rate, he is much better than Xu Damao, but he is worthy of Xiao'e.

Lou Tan could only comfort himself in this way.

When everyone was seated, Jiang Chen raised his wine glass and said, "Today is a good day. My cousin and Xiao'e are a match made in heaven. We are destined to come thousands of miles away to meet each other."

"I wish them to work together in the days to come, grow old together, and create a better future together."

"Come, let's raise a glass together and send them our most sincere blessings."

Sometimes, some useless words are needed to prove that this is a solemn occasion.

For example, now, the more formal it is, the more satisfied the Lou family is.

As the matchmaker, Jiang Chen is the link between the two sides, so he is the most suitable person to make this opening statement.

Everyone raised their glasses one after another, and congratulations were heard endlessly.

Lou Zhenhua smiled and raised his glass: "Xiaojun, Xiao'e will teach you from now on. I hope you will treat her well."

"I wish you happiness."

With Lou Zhenhua's words, the matter between the two of them was settled.

What follows is a process.

Zhang Huajun just came to Sijiucheng and he didn't have many friends.

When the uncle and aunt came over, the two of them received their certificates and invited people they knew to have a meal together, and the good thing was settled.

As for the hometown, it depends on what they want.

If you want to have a banquet, that's fine. If you don't want to, it's fine if your uncle and aunt send out a round of wedding candies.

Jiang Chen doesn't have to worry about that, they can decide it themselves.

Everyone was in a good mood and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After Jiang Chen's guidance, Xiaojun also got the idea.

He picked up food and poured water for Xiao'e regardless of whether she was there or not. She took very good care of her.

He even encouraged Xiao'e to try the food in the red pot. Although it was spicy and hissed, she still liked the taste.

After three rounds of drinking, several of the men started to drink. In addition, people are in high spirits during happy events, so everyone drank more and more boldly.

Even though Lou Zhenhua is older, he drinks a lot.

Naihe met a cheater and was knocked down by Jiang Chen.

In the end, all the men except Jiang Chen drank it down.

So He Yuyu took care of Lei Jie, Lou Xiao'e took care of Zhang Huajun, and Lou Tan took care of Lou Zhenhua.

Just... really good.

Jiang Chen has finally fulfilled his first promise to his uncle and aunt, finding a wife for Zhang Huajun.
