Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

Li Chaoyang thought it would be impossible to find someone who understood him in this era, but although Lou Xiao'e was not from the same era as Li Chaoyang, she was able to deeply move Li Chaoyang's heart.

Moreover, the most important reason why they can understand each other is that they share the same interests. Li Chaoyang likes to write songs, while Lou Xiao'e happens to like to listen to songs.

Lou Xiao'e has now set up the air conditioner in her house, and the music fills the entire room, which deeply moves Li Chaoyang.

"I feel like we have so much in common. Since you're not married yet, I'll formally propose to your parents when they get back. Will you marry me?"

Li Chaoyang felt that the atmosphere had been set enough, so he naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and didn't hesitate any longer, so he just said what he wanted to say.

Although these were Lou Xiao'e's inner thoughts, when Li Chaoyang said them, Lou Xiao'e blushed with excitement and was so nervous that she didn't know what to say.

"If you agree, we'll get married tomorrow."

Lou Xiao'e initially thought Li Chaoyang was just playing around, nothing more than joking. However, Lou Xiao'e did not expect that Li Chaoyang would actually set a wedding date.

It was clear that Li Chaoyang wasn't joking; Lou Xiao'e was actually very happy.

However, Lou Xiao'e did not show it. She just calmly looked at Li Chaoyang and thought for a while before asking him incredulously.

"Are you serious? Let me tell you, I'm a very serious person. If you really intend to marry me, it's for life."

“I know you men talk nonsense before marriage, but I still want to warn you that you have to keep your word. I’m not trying to trust you men, but at least you need to show me your determination now.”

Li Chaoyang now finally understands why Lou Xiao'e, despite having such good qualities, has remained unmarried for so long: it's because Lou Xiao'e has a heart that yearns for free love and has many ideas.

The woman who made this request is incredibly bold, but for Li Chaoyang, having already seen the flowers outside, he is naturally willing to devote himself to Lou Xiao'e.

So he agreed to Lou Xiao'e's request without hesitation, and seemed very determined.

"Of course you can. I don't know why you don't trust men, but I'm different from them."

"The reason I came to propose in person is because I admire you and I like you. How could I be like others? If I marry you, I will take responsibility for you."

Lou Xiao'e was very satisfied with this answer.

Lou Xiao'e was speechless, a happy smile on her face. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Chaoyang was about to get up and leave.

In fact, Lou Xiao'e was very reluctant to part with him. Fortunately, Lou's parents had already returned home from get off work. As soon as they walked in, they saw a strange man in their house.

Lou's father's expression changed instantly, becoming very unpleasant. He deliberately kept a straight face, and Lou's mother couldn't help but frown when she saw his expression.

After all, this era was still very feudal. Lou Xiao'e was home alone, but a strange man had appeared in her house. Lou's mother immediately pulled Lou Xiao'e into the house.

"You brat, you really don't know how to avoid suspicion? A strange man has come to your house, a young lady of the Wei family. Don't you know to go back inside and avoid him? Who is he?"

"You seem a bit off today, what's wrong?"

Lou Xiao'e was unwilling to go inside with her mother and kept dragging her along. Long Xiao'e hadn't said anything yet, but she could see that Lou Xiao'e was in a difficult position.

At this moment, Li Chaoyang immediately stepped forward to take responsibility for everything, and came to Lou's father, looking at him very sincerely and saying...

"Uncle, I am Li Chaoyang. I have always admired your daughter's beauty and talent."

"So I took the liberty of coming to visit today, but I didn't know that my uncle and aunt had already gone out. Xiao'e and I got along quite well, so we chatted for a while longer."

"To be honest with you, Uncle, I was just about to propose marriage to you. I want to marry Lou Xiao'e from your family."

"I promise I will treat Lou Xiao'e well, and I won't let you worry about me. Just tell me your conditions!"

Lou's parents had noticed that Lou Xiao'e's expression was a bit off, and now Li Chaoyang's words had caused Lou's father to misunderstand. He looked around, found a large stick nearby, picked it up, and was about to hit Li Chaoyang.

"You little brat, taking advantage of our absence, you dare to cause trouble! Who do you think you are? How dare you come to our house to propose marriage? You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror!"

"I have no conditions whatsoever. I'm telling you I don't agree, so get out of here right now!"

"Let me tell you, if you dare to stay here again, don't blame me for getting my hands dirty. I don't know my own strength, and I won't be responsible if I hurt you!"

This wealthy family certainly behaves differently; they're quick to hit people with sticks.

When Li Chaoyang first arrived at Lou Xiao'e's house, he was chased and beaten by Lou's father. Li Chaoyang could only keep running. Lou Xiao'e tried to stop him several times, but to no avail. In desperation, Lou Xiao'e immediately shouted loudly.

"Dad, please stop talking about this. Stop it now. He is the curator of our steel mill's cultural center."

Just moments ago, he was chasing after Li Chaoyang, beating him and cursing him incessantly. But as soon as he heard Lou Xiao'e say that, Lou's father immediately stopped.

Then, they looked at Lou Ma with great surprise, their eyes seemingly discussing something.

Lou's father still seemed to have doubts in his eyes, as if he couldn't quite believe what Lou Xiao'e was saying.

"Let me tell you, Lou Xiao'e, you said it yourself. You wouldn't lie to me just to get me to agree to what you two are doing, would you?"

“I’m asking you, how long have you been hooking up with this guy named Li Chaoyang? When did you two get together? No wonder your mother and I arranged several blind dates for you, but you didn’t go.”

Li Chaoyang did say that to Lou Xiao'e before, but Lou Xiao'e never bothered to find out whether it was true or not.

However, in order to get Li Chaoyang to sit down and talk about the situation, Lou Xiao'e chose to believe Li Chaoyang and looked at her father with great determination.

"How could I lie? You know what kind of person your daughter is!"

"Besides, you're really overthinking it. How could your daughter lie to you? That's exactly what she said when she came over. We actually just met; we chatted for a while in our yard. We didn't know each other at all before."

Now that Lou's father has understood the whole story, the details of which have greatly surprised both Lou's father and mother.

However, since Lou Xiao'e has said this, and Li Chaoyang seems to be a cultured person, Lou's parents decided to have a good talk with him.

"You say you're the director of the cultural center? Let me tell you, the Lou family isn't an ordinary family. If you dare to lie, I'll send you straight to the security department."

"Moreover, I know Director Li of your steel mill. Tell me your name, and when I ask, Director Li will know everything about you."

"So you'd better not try anything funny in front of me."

Hearing Lou's father's words, Li Chaoyang was not nervous at all, but rather very calm. Seeing Lou's father sit down, Li Chaoyang also sat down on the stool next to him. In any case, since Lou's father did not kick Li Chaoyang out, it proved that there was still hope for this matter.

Originally, she was supposed to cook, but now that Lou Xiao'e's wedding has taken over, Lou's mother isn't in the mood and is just standing there.

However, Lou Xiao'e also wanted to listen in, so she and her mother sat down on a chair next to her, and the family sat together.

Lou's mother went inside and brought out peanuts, melon seeds, and some fruit. It would be impossible for an ordinary family to have such things to eat so easily. Just from the things she served to her guests, it was clear that Lou Xiao'e's family had always lived a good life.

“Uncle, hello. My name is Li Chaoyang. I am the newly promoted director of the cultural center. I used to work at the cultural center of the steel rolling mill.”

"Besides working in the processing plant, I also like to write some revolutionary songs. I believe you, Uncle, have heard the revolutionary songs I wrote."

"I think 'We Are Walking on the Road' is my representative work."

(Qian Zhao Zhao) The more Li Chaoyang continued to say this, the calmer Lou's father's expression became. If he were lying, he would never have said it so outrageously, and he would never have dared to say it so exaggeratedly, because these things would be known as soon as they were investigated.

Li Chaoyang's words shocked Lou's father so much that he stood up, because Lou's father knew that Li Chaoyang was not lying; the creator of the song "We Are Walking on the Road" was indeed named Li Chaoyang.

Seeing that Lou's father looked unsure of what was going on, Lou's mother came to his side and kept asking him questions.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, why aren't you moving?"

"Was what he said really that scary? Can't you say something? Just say something!"

After Li Chaoyang finished speaking, Lou's father finally managed not to be impolite thanks to Lou's mother's reminder. However, Lou's father was definitely very satisfied with Li Chaoyang and asked him incredulously.

"Are you sure? You really are Li Chaoyang? Are you really the Li Chaoyang who wrote the song 'We Are Walking on the Road'? Or is it just a coincidence of names?"

"Have you been promoted to director of the cultural center yet? How did you find out about Lou Xiao'e, and why are you proposing marriage to her?"

Li Chaoyang knew that if he said the same thing to Lou's father now as he had just said to Lou Xiao'e, it wouldn't be convincing at all. Moreover, he should choose different words for different people.

As the director of the cultural center, Li Chaoyang naturally understood this principle, so he didn't hide anything and appeared very frank in front of Lou's father.

"To put it simply, I think it's very important to marry someone of equal social standing. Perhaps after hearing this, Uncle and Aunt will think I'm materialistic, greedy, and only after your family's wealth!"

"But I'm just honest and not good at talking. I just feel that when I'm with Lou Xiao'e, we can reach the same level not only in the realm of thought."

"Moreover, we will have no communication barriers. At least we share the same values, and we have similar living environments. Since our families are relatively well-off, our future life together will be very good."

Li Chaoyang's words truly surprised Lou Xiao'e, who was standing next to him. It was the first time she had ever seen someone speak so frankly. However, his words did indeed win over Lou's father.

Lou's father was already applauding Li Chaoyang, and before Lou Xiao'e could say anything, he had already agreed to it.

"I've been waiting for a son-in-law as outstanding and honest as you!"

“You’re right. Material things are secondary. If your marriage is to last and be harmonious, the most important thing is that you share the same mindset.”

"This is exactly why Xiao'e always seems to be unsuccessful in her pursuit of one person after another. It's because our family members have relatively high ideals and she seeks out intellectuals who share her thoughts. Now, her persistence has finally been rewarded by heaven, and she has finally found her match."

"I believe that you two will have no conflicts living together and will be very happy. I also wish you all the best. Your mother and I both agree to this."

The fact that Lou's parents agreed so quickly was indeed beyond Li Chaoyang's expectations. However, such a smooth process naturally made Li Chaoyang very happy. Lou's father continued to ask Li Chaoyang questions.

"You don't look very old to me. Are you two years younger than Lou Xiao'e?"

"So you're not in a rush to get married, are you? How many years do you plan to date? If it takes a long time, then Lou Xiao'e can't wait!"

Actually, Lou Xiao'e didn't intend to be so direct; she wanted to be reserved to make it seem more precious.

"Dad, why did you agree so quickly? Marriage is a major event for our children, and you didn't even ask for my opinion."

Lou's father is indeed getting a little anxious and has started urging things to be settled as soon as possible, because he knows that in this era, someone as outstanding as Li Chaoyang...

That would be a real predicament. If someone else snatched her away, Lou Xiao'e would never have met someone as good as Li Chaoyang in her entire life.

"What else do you have to complain about? Li Chaoyang is so outstanding, he's already taken the initiative to propose marriage. That's enough, what else do you want?"

"Would your dad and mom lie to you? Just trust them. I've already checked out this man for you. You can't go wrong with him!"
