Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 368 Blind Date
"Go! Go! Go!"

Seeing that Yu Haitang was already suspicious, Yu Li quickly pretended to be a little impatient and said, "I know you have been smarter than me since you were a child, but can you please stop being suspicious all the time?
If you have the time, you might as well help me think about how to get a divorce from that bastard Yan Jiecheng."

After saying this, a hint of sadness appeared on her face.

Although she had followed Li Guoqiang's idea and used the factory leaders to threaten Yan Jiecheng so that he would not dare to do anything excessive again.

However, if Yan Jiecheng was determined not to divorce her, she would be helpless.

After all, she couldn't really report Yan Jiecheng's gambling to the factory and cause Yan Jiecheng to lose his job.

If that were the case, I'm afraid Yan Jiecheng would never want to divorce her even if he died.

But if she didn't do this, she really couldn't think of any better way to make Yan Jiecheng agree to divorce her.

This almost worried her to death.

"sister!"

Seeing Yu Li like this, Yu Haitang could only temporarily put aside her suspicion of Yu Li, and then she spoke softly to comfort her: "I think you should stop worrying. Divorce is not something that can be rushed, especially since your brother-in-law is in a lot of debt now, and it's easy for him to do something impulsive.

So I think you'd better put the divorce aside for now and talk about it later."

"Fine!"

Yu Li heard this, turned her head and looked at Yu Haitang, then thought about it carefully and felt that this was the truth, so she could only nod, sighed and said: "Then I'll listen to you, and we'll talk about it later."

After saying that, she didn't ask Haitang to bring up the matter of her becoming younger and more beautiful again. She quickly got up and walked out, leaving Yu Haitang looking at her back with some suspicion.

Logically speaking, Yu Li is now about to divorce Yan Jiecheng, so she should be haggard. How come she has become younger and more beautiful than before?

Is there some unspeakable secret here?

Thinking of this, Yu Haitang couldn't help but feel itchy in her heart, and she wished she could find out this secret immediately.

After all, as a woman, who doesn’t want to become younger and more beautiful?
Soon, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the courtyard seemed very peaceful except for a slight disturbance among the neighbors caused by Sha Zhu lending his house to Li Guoqiang.

Li Guoqiang took advantage of the few days of free time to find the matchmaker Sister Zhang and asked her to help find a partner for Xu Yuchang, Sun Jinda, Ma Hongjun and Sha Zhu.

Among them, Xu Yuchang, Sun Jinda and Ma Hongjun were easy to deal with. When Sister Zhang heard it, she immediately nodded and agreed.

Then when she heard Sha Zhu's name, she was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly shook her head and said that she was powerless.

Li Guoqiang was not surprised by this. After all, Sha Zhu is almost 40 years old now. If it was really that easy to find a partner, he would have been married long ago. Why would he wait until now?
However, it is impossible to know how much of it is due to Sha Zhu’s bad temper and how much is due to other people’s calculations.

Immediately, he stuffed the red envelope he had prepared in advance into Sister Zhang's hand.

Sister Zhang had no choice but to agree to the offer because the red envelope was quite large.

That evening, Li Guoqiang had just gone to the textile factory to pick up Yao Meilan and Luo Huijuan and returned to Xiangmizhai, when he saw Sister Zhang already waiting in the store.

Xu Yuchang, Sun Jinda and Ma Hongjun, each holding a photo of a girl, stood aside and looked at them with shining eyes, obviously they were very fond of the ones that Sister Zhang had found for them.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang was slightly happy, then he hurried over, smiled and said hello:

"Aunt Zhang, you're here!"

"Hey!"

When Sister Zhang heard this, she nodded quickly and said with a smile, "I was afraid that you would get impatient waiting, so I just talked to the girl's family this afternoon and rushed over to tell you."

"Thank you for your hard work!"

When Li Guoqiang heard what Sister Zhang said, he immediately responded with a polite remark, then turned his head to look at Xu Yuchang and the others, and then asked, "Brother Chang, Brother Da, Brother Jun, looking at the way you look, do you like me?"

"hey-hey!"

Hearing this, Xu Yuchang nodded happily and said, "I don't know what they are like, but I've taken a liking to them."

After saying that, he looked down at the photo in his hand again, and the smile on his face suddenly became a little obscene.

If you don’t know him, you might think he is a pervert!

Hearing his words, Sun Jinda and Ma Hongjun hurriedly nodded to show their satisfaction, and then looked at Sister Zhang with anticipation, wishing they could meet her in person right away.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly asked Sister Zhang, "Well, Aunt Zhang, you see they are a little impatient, when can you help them arrange a blind date?"

"This is it!"

Sister Zhang hesitated for a moment, then quietly suggested, "Tomorrow is Sunday, I think we should make an appointment tomorrow! It happens to be the girl's day off, so it will be more convenient to arrange it.

Also, where do you want to meet?"

Having said that, she turned her head to look at Xu Yuchang and others, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

"that."

When Xu Yuchang heard this question, he glanced at Li Guoqiang, then hesitantly said, "Why don't we meet at Xiangmi Zhai?"

"Ok!"

When Li Guoqiang heard this, he immediately understood what Xu Yuchang meant, and then nodded and agreed quickly, saying, "I think this is a good idea. If we meet here, the girl won't be so nervous."

In fact, what is more important is to make an appointment with the girl at Xiangmi Zhai, so that Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others can help to see if the other party is a good girl. At the same time, as family members of Xu Yuchang and others, they can also help greet the other party to avoid the atmosphere becoming too awkward.

Hearing what Li Guoqiang said, Sister Zhang naturally would not refuse Li Guoqiang's face, so she immediately nodded and agreed.

Afterwards, she and Xu Yuchang and others set a time for the blind date, then turned around and left in a hurry to go to the girls' homes to discuss the blind date at Xiangmi Zhai tomorrow.

As for Sha Zhu, it wasn't that she didn't try hard to help look for it, it was just that it was too difficult to find, so Sha Zhu could only wait and see.

Fortunately, Li Guoqiang was not in a hurry and did not urge Sister Zhang too much, so as to avoid making things worse.

Moreover, in his opinion, Sha Zhu has waited for so many years, so it doesn't matter if he waits a little longer.

The most important thing is to find someone who meets all the requirements for Sha Zhu.

Soon, it was the next morning. Li Guoqiang had just taken Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others to Xiangmizhai on a tricycle when he saw Xu Yuchang, Sun Jinda and Ma Hongjun, all wearing new clothes and even applying hair cream on their heads like some of the more fashionable city dwellers, making them look like decent people.

However, even so, in the eyes of Li Guoqiang and others, it is still impossible to conceal the rustic flavor.

After all, it is easy to change your appearance, but it is not so easy to change what is in your bones.

Therefore, this also makes Xu Yuchang and others look a little out of place.

Li Guoqiang watched for a while, but couldn't help but walked over and reminded them in a deep voice: "Hey, are you going to visit a brothel or go on a blind date with a girl? I advise you to get dressed quickly and don't be so fancy, otherwise you might scare the girl away."

Hearing this, Xu Yuchang, Sun Jinda and Ma Hongjun looked at each other in confusion, then hurriedly ran to the kitchen to get a basin of water and washed their heads as Li Guoqiang said.

In fact, the main reason why they did this was because they felt inferior and thought they were from a small mountain village and were not worthy of the girls from the city.

However, after hearing what Li Guoqiang said, they suddenly reacted and realized that what is most important in a blind date is authenticity, rather than something deliberately pretended.

Otherwise, even if the girl may look at them with a higher regard because of their dressing, they will eventually be disappointed in them because their true colors are revealed.

If that's the case, then it would be a waste of time!

Soon, apart from wearing new clothes, everything else had returned to their normal state, and their behavior also became more natural, at least not giving people an awkward feeling.

After unanimous approval from Li Guoqiang, Shang Xiuzhen and others, they continued to work while looking forward to the arrival of their blind date partners.

I waited and waited, and until around eight o'clock, the first girl who came for the blind date finally showed up.

When Xu Yuchang saw Sister Zhang and the cute, pure and simple girl beside her, his eyes widened, and he quickly ran forward and shouted:
"Sister Zhang, you are here!"

"Harmful!"

When Sister Zhang heard this, she was immediately startled, and then she said in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "Why are you suddenly so loud? You almost scared me."

After saying that, she quickly turned her head to look at the girl next to her, only to see that she also looked nervous. She instantly felt a little angry at Xu Yuchang's rash behavior.

You know, in order to find a good girl for Xu Yuchang and others, she put in a lot of effort.

If she scares people away now, wouldn't all her work be in vain?
Fortunately, Xu Yuchang reacted quickly, and then hurriedly said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Aunt Zhang, I was just a little too excited just now, did I scare you?"

He said he was talking to Sister Zhang, but his eyes were always on the girl next to him.

"okay!"

Seeing that Xu Yuchang had already apologized, Sister Zhang could only wave her hand and said, "Let me introduce you first. This is Comrade Miao Yuting.

Yuting, this is Comrade Xu Yuchang.

Go to the backyard and sit down and have a good chat. I'll be waiting outside."

After saying that, she gave Xu Yuchang a look, indicating that he should take the initiative and invite the girl in.

Seeing this, Xu Yuchang reacted immediately, and then hurriedly greeted Miao Yuting with a warm face: "Well, Comrade Miao Yuting, let's go in and sit down first!"

"Ok!"

Miao Yuting raised her eyelids, looked at Xu Yuchang carefully, then nodded slightly and agreed, then walked into the backyard with Xu Yuchang.

Seeing this situation, Sister Zhang felt a little relieved. Then, under Shang Xiuzhen's arrangement, she sat down next to the counter, drinking the honey lemon tea prepared by Shang Xiuzhen for her while waiting for the result of Xu Yuchang and Miao Yuting's blind date.

At the same time, on the other side, Xu Yuchang and Miao Yuting had already sat down at a table that had been set up in the backyard in advance. Then they looked at each other and fell into silence again.

Fortunately, Li Guoqiang had foreseen this situation, and immediately asked Shen Fengxia to bring up two cups of honey lemon tea. He also praised Miao Yuting a few words, livening up the atmosphere.

After Shen Fengxia found an excuse to leave, Xu Yuchang, who had already relaxed, immediately introduced his situation to Miao Yuting.

After hearing this, Miao Yuting didn't say anything. She just told the man about her situation according to the blind date process.

After all, before coming here, she must have learned about Xu Yuchang's situation from Sister Zhang. Now she came to meet him just to take a closer look at what Xu Yuchang is like.

As they talked, the two of them slowly started to talk, and laughter could be heard from time to time. It was obvious that they were getting along quite well.

Soon, before I knew it, more than half an hour had passed.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Sister Zhang stood up and walked into the backyard, called Miao Yuting over, then moved closer and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Are you interested?"

"I think it's OK!"

Upon hearing this, Miao Yuting pondered for a moment, then nodded and spoke.

In fact, for her, as long as Xu Yuchang didn't mind that she was older and thinner, and that he needed to help bear some of the living pressure of her family after marriage, she was willing to get along well with Xu Yuchang first.

"to make!"

When Sister Zhang heard Miao Yuting's answer, she was delighted, and then nodded quickly and said, "Then I'll go talk to him and ask him to send you home, and let your parents see you as well.

If they think you're okay with it, then you can discuss when to get married."

"Ok!"

When Miao Yuting heard this, she immediately nodded shyly and agreed. Then she looked at Sister Zhang with a little nervousness as she ran to talk to Xu Yuchang.

Soon, she saw Xu Yuchang running towards her with an excited look on his face, and then he said happily: "Comrade Miao Yuting, let's go to your house now!"

"Ok!"

When Miao Yuting heard Xu Yuchang say this, she instantly felt relieved, then nodded quickly and agreed, and then left Xiangmi Zhai with Xu Yuchang.

Looking at them in pairs, Sun Jinda and Ma Hongjun were so envious. They hurried to Sister Zhang and looked at her eagerly.

"Wait, I'll bring the person to you right away!"

When Sister Zhang saw this, she couldn't help but speak with amusement.

After saying that, she didn't waste any time and left Xiangmi Zhai directly and ran towards the second girl's home.
