1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Chapter 324 Xu Damao Confesses

In the sun-drenched courtyard, Grandpa and Grandma Li returned happily from fishing in Beihai Park with a group of grandchildren.

Although the harvest today was not much, the faces of the grandparents and grandchildren were still filled with happy smiles.

Li Weimin walked in front carrying a fishing rod, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

He rushed into the yard impatiently and shouted into the house: "Brother, I have good news for you. We are going to resume classes!"

Li Weiguo walked out of the house, looked at the excited Li Weimin, and nodded slightly.

"Okay, I see. Look how happy you are. How was your harvest today?"

He had already learned about the resumption of classes from He Yushui, so he was not surprised at this moment.

Li Weiguo has never had such a strong desire for academic study in his life. He just wants to graduate from university and then be assigned a job that suits his taste.

"It's OK. Weihua and Weijun went into the water and caught a lot of small fish. Grandma said she would cook fish for lunch today!"

At noon, Grandma Li put on an apron, walked into the kitchen and started to get busy.

She cleaned the fish in the bucket carefully and then began to stew the fish skillfully.

After a while, the aroma of fish wafted from the kitchen.

The grandparents and grandchildren sat around the dining table, having a simple and warm lunch.

Although the fish stew on the table is simple to make, it is full of homely flavor.

The Li family's children ate with gusto and kept talking about the interesting things that happened during the fishing trip.

There is never a lack of laughter and joy at the Li family’s dining table.

In the bustling downtown area of ​​New Beijing, the aroma of food filled the air in the state-owned hotels.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were sitting in the lobby, eating their meal happily.

At this moment, Xu Damao was picking up food for her with a smile on his face, but he felt uneasy in his heart.

In order to raise the remaining 400 yuan for Qin Huairu, Xu Damao took a special leave, dressed up smartly and asked Lou Xiaoe to go out and play.

In order to make this date more perfect, he even went to his parents' house and asked them for twenty dollars.

He vowed to take his future daughter-in-law out for fun, so how could the Xu couple not agree?

In the past few days, news also came from the Lou family, who were quite satisfied with Xu Damao, and both families wanted to discuss marriage for them.

So, when Xu Damao asked for money to take his girlfriend out to play, his parents gave it to him happily.

In the morning, Xu Damao took Lou Xiao'e to the park and played happily for most of the day.

It was a sunny day, the park was full of green trees and blooming flowers, and they strolled along the path, talking and laughing.

Xu Damao told jokes from time to time, making Lou Xiao'e giggle.

He also carefully bought one for Lou Xiao'e, and watched her eat it happily with a tender and affectionate face.

At noon, Xu Damao took Lou Xiao'e to the State-owned Hotel for dinner.

As soon as they entered the door, Xu Damao considerately found a good seat for Lou Xiaoe to sit down.

He generously ordered several of the restaurant's signature dishes, and then asked Lou Xiao'e what she thought.

"Xiao'e, take a look at what you want to eat and order whatever you want. Let's have a good meal today."

Xu Damao came here with a purpose today, so naturally he was full of love and care for Lou Xiaoe.

Lou Xiao'e responded politely: "Just order whatever you want. I'm fine with anything."

In fact, she had eaten all kinds of good food, but the feeling was different when she was eating with Xu Damao.

She felt that as long as she was with Xu Damao, everything she ate tasted especially delicious.

After a while, the food was served.

Xu Damao kept picking up food for Lou Xiao'e, saying, "Xiao'e, try this braised pork. It's cooked till tender and tastes really good. And this fish is also very fresh. Eat more."

Lou Xiao'e looked at the bowl full of food and felt warm in her heart.

After spending these days together, she was quite satisfied with Xu Damao.

Although Xu Damao was just an ordinary working class, his family was not as wealthy as the Lou family.

But the Lou family is in a bad situation now, and the family urgently needs to break the outside world's perception of the Lou family.

Therefore, letting her marry Xu Damao was a choice her parents had to make.

Moreover, in her contacts with Xu Damao, Lou Xiao'e found that Xu Damao was not only capable but also sweet-spoken, and could always make her happy.

Naturally, she fell in love with Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, I'm really happy today, thank you." Lou Xiao'e said to Xu Damao with a smile.

Xu Damao looked at Lou Xiao'e, a hint of subtle cunning flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Xiao'e, why are you being polite to me? You know, I really like you very much, and I think being with you is the happiest thing in my life. I can't wait to marry you home."

Lou Xiao'e blushed slightly after hearing this and said shyly, "Really?"

"Of course it's true, Xiao'e. Heaven and earth can testify to my feelings for you." Xu Damao said sincerely.

Listening to Xu Damao's affectionate confession, Lou Xiao'e lowered her head shyly and dared not look into Xu Damao's eyes.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e's reaction, Xu Damao felt that the time was right, so he cleared his throat and said a little embarrassedly: "Xiao'e, actually I have something to tell you."

Then, he leaned close to Lou Xiao'e's ear and whispered, "Xiao'e, you know, I earn a fixed salary working in the factory. I want to do some business with others to make more money so that you can live a better life in the future. But I'm short of money now, and I'm still short of 400 yuan. Can you lend me some first? I'll pay you back as soon as I make money."

Lou Xiao'e was slightly stunned when she heard this, but looking at Xu Damao's sincere eyes and thinking about their relationship, she hesitated and said, "Da Mao, I don't have much money, but since you said so, I'll see if I can help you think of a solution."

Xu Damao quickly held Lou Xiao'e's hand and said gratefully: "Xiao'e, you are so kind. I knew you would help me. Don't worry, I will work hard and won't let you down. When I make money, we can get married in style and live our good life."

Lou Xiao'e was somewhat moved by what Xu Damao said. She nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back after dinner and see if I can get the money together for you."

Xu Damao was delighted and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Xiao'e, you are really my savior. I knew you were the best, I really like you." As he said that, he picked up another piece of food for Lou Xiao'e.

After dinner, Xu Damao sent Lou Xiao'e home.

Along the way, he continued to coax Lou Xiao'e with sweet words.

"Xiao'e, you are the brightest star in my life, lighting up my whole world. Don't worry, I will treat you well for the rest of my life."

When Lou Xiao'e heard these words, her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

She lowered her head shyly, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.

In an empty corner, Xu Damao stopped and gently pulled Lou Xiaoe into his arms.

Lou Xiao'e trembled slightly, and before she could react, Xu Damao lowered his head and kissed her secretly.

This sudden action made Lou Xiao'e's heart beat faster instantly, and her face became hot, as if there was a fire burning.

Xu Damao's sweet words and intimate actions made her completely devoted to him.
