Chapter 277 Kui Yongniang's Request(1/2)
Today is the weekend, so Li Weidong and Yu Li don't have to go to work, so they sleep until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.
As soon as I got dressed, before I could get used to it, there was a knock on the door from outside.
"Who is it, so early?"
Li Weidong was about to open the door, but was held back by Yu Li.
"Wait a minute. The bed is a mess. It would be bad if someone sees it."
"Then blame me?"
"Don't blame you?"
"..."
During the tugging, the two of them worked together to make the bed, and then Li Weidong walked to the main room and opened the door.
I saw an old lady standing at the foot of the steps outside carrying a basket of eggs.
Li Weidong narrowed his eyes before he recognized it.
"Auntie, why are you here?"
That's right, the person who came was none other than Li Kuiyong's mother.
She used to lie in bed all year round, her face was sallow, and she was extremely thin.
Now she has a rosy complexion, and her gray hair is neatly arranged and pulled behind her head, with a dark tortoiseshell hairpin stuck on it.
Wearing a soap blue old-fashioned cotton jacket, cotton trousers, and a pair of round-mouthed cotton boots.
The whole person looks like an old lady from a wealthy family in the past.
When Kui Yongniang saw Li Weidong, the wrinkles on her face instantly straightened out and she said with a smile:
"Kui Yong and I have been bothering you a lot. My relatives in the countryside sent me some eggs. As an old woman, eating eggs is too bad, so I thought of sending them to you."
Kui Yongniang said this sincerely.
Since they became relatives with Li Weidong, Li Weidong and Yu Li have helped their family a lot.
He found jobs for Li Kuiyong and Li Kuigang, and also provided money and effort to help her with medical treatment.
The human heart is made of flesh.
No, when the family got something good, they rushed it to Li Weidong.
"Auntie, you are in good health and need to take some supplements. Just take the eggs back!"
These eggs were hard-won, and of course Li Weidong couldn't accept them.
"Weidong, do you look down on my aunt..."
Pushed twice.
Li Weidong realized that if he didn't accept these eggs today, the old lady would definitely fall out.
Chinese people are all kind-hearted.
It is a great insult to have a gift rejected.
In later generations, due to the rush to check out, murders often occurred.
Yes, let's accept it.
The worst case scenario is that we will find opportunities to make up for it later.
Li Weidong took the eggs and let the old lady into the house.
Yu Li also came out of the back room and helped pour tea.
"Weidong, you really have a good wife, she is virtuous and very capable." Kui Yongniang admired as she looked at the busy Yu Li.
Li Weidong curled his lips and smiled: "You can indeed do it."
Yu Li glanced at him secretly.
This rough guy is good at everything, but he likes to talk dirty and is not a serious person.
Of course, Kui Yongniang couldn't understand the code words of the young couple.
Then he said: "Kui Yong is twenty-six this year. When his neighbor Er Dunzi was this age, he already had three children. Fortunately for him, he doesn't even have a partner now. What will our old Li family do in the future? Even if
Even after I died, I couldn’t face Kui Yong’s father even when I was underground.”
Yu Li heard some clues and asked in a low voice: "Old lady, are you worried about Kui Yong's marriage?"
Kui Yong's mother said: "Oh, what's the use of just thinking! You also know that Kui Yong is an honest boy. He blushes when he sees a girl. The conditions of our family are not particularly outstanding. Although both Kui Yong and Kui Gang are now
I have a serious job, but it has been idle for so many years, and my family's financial resources are really weak."
"Marrying a man to a man, getting dressed and eating. I also invited a few matchmakers to introduce the girl to Kui Yong. The girl's family came to our house and nothing happened."
"There was a girl who really fell in love with my family, Kui Yong, and she didn't mind the family being poor. But when I inquired about it later, I found out that the girl had been on the street and had had an abortion. Our family is also a decent family. That kind of girl should be ours."
I can’t afford to marry you!”
"Auntie thinks that you and Yu Li are knowledgeable and know many people, so I would like to ask you to introduce a partner to Kui Yong."
What Kui Yongniang said is true.
Although the marriage of men and women in this era is not like that of later generations, there is no way to get married without a house or a bride price of hundreds of thousands.
However, the necessary conditions cannot be omitted.
Three turns and one sound, forty-eight legs and the like must also be prepared.
Li Kuiyong is now a second-level mechanic in a machinery factory, earning a monthly salary of 37.5 yuan.
It will definitely not be possible to get all those things in place in a short time.
In addition, Li Kuiyong is a bit old, and the little girl is not willing to marry him.
After Kui Yongniang left, Li Weidong discussed with Yu Li for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a reason.
As relatives, they definitely don't want to find a random girl for Li Kuiyong.
It's just that those outstanding girls don't like Li Kuiyong.
"Forget it, we can't rush this matter. You're working in the street anyway, so just be more careful. Let's cook first."
Li Weidong cooked it himself. The staple food was millet porridge, a plate of scrambled eggs with chopped green onions, and a plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes.
After the two of them finished eating, Yu Li was responsible for finishing the meal.
While washing the dishes, Yu Li suddenly shouted: "Hey, Brother Wei Dong, I really want to come alone."
Li Weidong walked over, held her shoulders and asked: "Who? Tell me."
Yu Li smiled: "What's the rush? That person can definitely do it. Wait until I finish washing the dishes."
Oh, I’ve learned how to tell the truth.
Li Weidong also cooperated very well, pretending to be impatient and giving Yu Li enough face.
Only then did she introduce the girl's situation.
The girl's name is Liao Dongfang. She is very pretty and she is a teacher at Hongxing Primary School in the steel rolling mill.
Her parents, like Ran Qiuye, are overseas Chinese who have returned to China, and their family background is not good.
As a street office worker, Yu Li had talked to her several times.
Liao Dongfang left a very good impression on her.
"Liao Dongfang is different from that Ran Qiuye. She doesn't have any of the bad habits of an intellectual. It's just that her family background is not good, so she became single. She happens to be 23 years old today. If she can marry Li Kuiyong, it will be good for her in the future."
As a street office worker, Yu Li knows more about the situation than the general public.
As a time traveler, Li Weidong has opened his eyes and naturally understands what she means.
Li Kuiyong was from the third generation of farm laborers. Even if there was a strong wind, he could protect Liao Dongfang.
"Liao Dongfang is indeed a good candidate. It's better to choose the right date than to hit the target. Anyway, we have nothing to do today, so we helped them pull the strings."
"Okay!" Li Weidong agreed immediately.
in the original work.
Yan Bugui once introduced Ran Qiuye to Shazhu because Yan Bugui was procrastinating in doing things.
In addition, all Si Zhu's thoughts at that time were focused on Qin Huairu.
The two of them didn't make it.
If Sha Zhu and Ran Qiuye could get married, Sha Zhu would not be nearly extinct, and Ran Qiuye would not have to clean the toilet.
Li Weidong was a resolute person, so he immediately decided to go talk to Li Kuiyong.
Yu Li went to communicate with Liao Dongfang.
In order to avoid suspicion, Liao Dongfang has now moved out of her home and lives in the single dormitory of Hongxing Primary School in the Steel Rolling Mill.
Today is Sunday, and those teachers who live in the school have returned home to reunite with their relatives.
