In 1960, Lou Xiao'e was 19 years old. She had grown into a graceful young lady with an oval face and was very beautiful.

She is currently on winter break from college, and she came to Fengze Garden with her bestie, ordered a few of Wang Jianye's special dishes, and chatted while eating.

Lou Xiao'e has been a little distressed recently because her father Lou Bancheng wants to marry her off as soon as possible.

Although because of Wang Jianye, domestic technology at this time was more advanced and life was more affluent.

But the course of history still cannot be changed, and the powerful historical inertia is not something Wang Jianye can change.

Lou Bancheng has been in the business world for many years and has a very keen sense of smell. In order to prevent Lou Xiao'e from being influenced by his identity as a capitalist, he wants to marry her to an ordinary family.

Recently, I was selecting a suitable person, and this person must be well-known, so I found a young man named Xu Damao from the nanny at home.

He is the donkey-faced guy who lives in the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang and is full of bad intentions.

In the original drama, Xu Damao's mother was the nanny of the Lou family. Knowing that Lou's father wanted to find an ordinary person for Lou Xiao'e to marry, she strongly recommended Xu Damao.

Some time ago, Lou Bancheng called Xu Damao over and asked Lou Xiao'e to meet him.

Xu Damao has a nickname called the First Blood Plunderer. He is particularly good at coaxing girls, especially those who are not very worldly-wise and are relatively simple.

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e was so beautiful and her family was so rich, Xu Damao naturally tried very hard and successfully concealed the truth from Lou's father and mother, making them think that this young man was not bad and was someone they could trust.

So Lou's father and mother advised Lou Xiao'e to think more about Xu Damao. Lou Xiao'e was still relatively naive, and with the help of her parents, she was a little attracted to Xu Damao.

The reason for her distress was that her parents were too good at matchmaking, and they allowed her to get married after only meeting Xu Damao once. She always felt that it was too hasty.

Moreover, she didn't know much about Xu Damao, and Lou Xiao'e was nervous about marrying a man who was almost a stranger.

"If you're worried about that guy, why don't we go to his house and ask him?"

Lou Xiaoe's eyes lit up after hearing her best friend's advice. "Yes, it's hard to have an objective understanding of Xu Damao if we only listen to his one-sided words. I have to ask his neighbors what they think of him, so that I can have a more comprehensive understanding."

"Well, I'll go with you there later. By the way, do you know where he lives?"

Lou Xiao'e thought about it and said, "My mother said that he lived in No. 95, Nanluoguxiang."

Lou Xiao'e suddenly frowned, "Hiss, this place sounds so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere before..."

"I remember now, Master Wang also lived there before. He and Xu Damao lived in the same courtyard!"

Lou Xiao'e suddenly remembered that there was no need for her to go so far to Nanluoguxiang to inquire about Xu Damao's situation. Wouldn't it be enough to just ask Wang Jianye from Fengzeyuan?

Afterwards, Lou Xiao'e asked the waiter to go to the kitchen to invite Wang Jianye.

The waiter happened to be Qin Huairu. She responded and hurried to the kitchen: "Master Wang, there is a guest in the front hall who wants to invite you over."

Wang Jianye was instructing his master Chai Wenshan on how to cook at the moment. After hearing Qin Huairu's words, he followed her to Lou Xiaoe's table in the front hall.

"Master Wang!"

Lou Xiao'e was very excited to see Wang Jianye.

She has been eating the meals cooked by Wang Jianye since she was a child. When she had no appetite at the beginning, her parents brought her to Fengze Garden once, where she ate such delicious spicy and sour potato shreds for the first time. After that, this dish was basically a must-order every time she came. Today, when she came to Fengze Garden for dinner, she also ordered this dish.

"Master Wang, I want to ask you about someone. Do you know Xu Damao?" "Xu Damao?"

Of course Wang Jianye knew him. He was full of bad intentions, a real villain, a first-blood plunderer. He was familiar with him. "I used to live in the same courtyard with him."

Lou Xiao'e told Wang Jianye about her situation, and then wanted to find out more about Xu Damao from Wang Jianye. She couldn't just marry him blindly.

Wang Jianye pondered for a moment: "Xu Damao stopped going to school after graduating from junior high school. He was idle for a few years. Later, he learned how to project movies from his father Xu Fugui. Now he takes over his father's job and works in the publicity department of the steel mill. He is mainly responsible for projecting movies.

He and Sha Zhu from the courtyard had been at odds since childhood and often quarreled. He couldn't beat Sha Zhu, so he often did bad things to Sha Zhu in secret to retaliate.

Once, Sha Zhu went on a blind date. They were chatting well, but when Sha Zhu was not around, Xu Damao used sweet words to scare the girl away.
Because of this, Sha Zhu beat him up severely. Everyone in our courtyard knew about it.
If you don’t believe me, you can ask the waitress you asked to find me. Her name is Qin Huairu, and she is from the same courtyard as Xu Damao…”

Wang Jianye knew what kind of person Xu Damao was, and he also knew what happened to Lou Xiao'e after she married Xu Damao in the play. Emotionally, he didn't want Lou Xiao'e to repeat the same mistake.

So he told the truth and told Lou Xiao'e the real situation of Xu Damao.

Hearing what Wang Jianye said, Lou Xiaoe frowned. If what Master Wang said was true, she couldn't marry such a man.

Afterwards, Lou Xiao'e called Qin Huairu and asked her about Xu Damao's situation.

Qin Huairu had never had any disagreements or grudges with Xu Damao. She just spoke the truth, which was similar to what Wang Jianye said, and told Lou Xiaoe to stay away from such people.

After hearing what the two said, Lou Xiao'e completely gave up on Xu Damao.

At this time, Xu Damao, who was showing a movie in the countryside and wondering which widow's bed to sleep in tonight, suddenly sneezed.

"It's really cold today. Let's go to Widow Yao's house tonight. Her kang is warm."

……

At the end of January, all high schools started their final exams and had holidays after the exams.

With Wang Mujia's current level, he has far surpassed all the high school students in the country. No matter how talented they are, they are all left far behind by Wang Mujia.

He easily got full marks in every exam, and the questions given by the teacher were not difficult for him at all.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Mujia had his first winter vacation. He happily returned home with a bunch of awards from school.

"Look, this is the certificate my teacher gave me. I'm a five-good student and a study star..."

Wang Mujia happily placed the certificates she had received on the table and showed them to Wang Jianye, Chen Kejia and others one by one.

"That's amazing! I've been in school for so many years and I've never received a certificate of honor."

Wang Jianye was actually a little envious of him.

The poor student in my previous life didn’t go to school after elementary school and never won a certificate of honor in elementary school.

Wang Mujia asked Chen Kejia: "Mom, have you ever won a certificate of honor?"

Chen Kejia smiled and nodded: "Of course I passed. I had very good grades when I was young and I received certificates of honor every semester." (End of this chapter)
