Chapter 70 The Strange Old Man

"What do you mean? You won't want to give me a blind date, right?" Li Zhang couldn't help but show a vigilant expression when he heard Jinshan's words. Lu Wu had already made him feel very tired before forcing him to go on a blind date. Now he finally stopped, but he didn't expect that Jinshan would ask such a thing again.

"This...hehe~" Jinshan didn't expect Li Zhang to react so much, and it was the first time he did such a thing. He was not as shameless as a professional matchmaker. At this time, he was a little embarrassed to speak.

Originally, Li Zhang was just guessing, but now seeing Kingsoft's performance, he immediately affirmed his guess, which made him speechlessly: "It seems to be true, but I really want to know, who can invite you, the official Jin, to be a mediator?"

"Actually, it's not an outsider. My mother likes you very much last time. My sister happened to be of the same age as you, so I wanted me to ask if you have been engaged. If not, our two families might be able to become in-laws." Kingsoft finally adapted to the role of a matchmaker and immediately told him what he wanted today.

"Your sister?" Li Zhang suddenly felt bitter when he heard this. What the hell is he? He admits that he is quite old, but he is really not good at his appearance. Although he is starting to grow, he is still thin and small, while Jin Xiaomei is tall and fat. One can match him three. Is it not a match for standing together?

Of course, Li Zhang thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say that. After all, Kingsoft is too fond of Jin Xiaomei. If he dares to say something bad about Jin Xiaomei, he may have to fight with him.

"What's wrong? Do you think my sister is not worthy of you?" Seeing Li Zhang's face feeling embarrassed, Jinshan couldn't help but change his face.

"No, don't get me wrong!" Li Zhang hurriedly denied, "I... I'm mainly worried that our horoscopes are not in line."

In a hurry, Li Zhang couldn't think of any good reason, so he could only use his eight characters to make excuses. Anyway, the ancients believed this. However, as soon as he finished speaking, Jin Shan sneered and said, "Why are the eight characters not in line? My mother has already made people to test the eight characters of you and my sister. It is a pair made of heaven and earth. In addition, you are a sheep and my sister are a horse, and even the zodiac sign is very consistent!"

"Uh?" Li Zhang even broke out in cold sweat when he heard this. He didn't expect that Jinshan was prepared and even tested his own horoscope. This road was simply not working, which made him stunned.

Fortunately, Li Zhang was still a little anxious and quickly recovered from his calmness. Then he pretended to sigh: "Forget it, then I'll tell you the truth!"

"I know you didn't tell the truth. Do you think my sister is not worthy of you?" Jin Shan said angrily again. Like Li Zhang, he was a person who suffered when he was a child. At that time, Mrs. Jin took care of the two brothers and sisters with great difficulty, so the relationship between the brothers and sisters was as deep as that of Li Zhang. If Li Zhang had proposed marriage to Li Er and the other party was still urging him, maybe he would have slapped the table and cursed her.

"This is really not!" Li Zhang hurriedly denied it again, and then he said with a heavy expression, "Actually, just a few days ago, my father and Uncle Wu forced me to go on a blind date. At that time, I had no preparation at all, and I never thought of getting engaged so early, so I refused when I arrived at the place, which made Uncle Wu angry with me."

"That's great. You rejected that family. You can get engaged to my little sister!" Jin Shan slapped his thigh when he heard this. He thought he was late, but he didn't expect that Li Zhang refused to get engaged last time, which made him overjoyed.

"Jinshan, why are you confused? My father and Uncle Wu joined forces to engage me in a marriage, and I refused. But now when you come, I agree. What do you want my father and Uncle Wu to think?" Li Zhang said with a embarrassed expression at this time. Although this was his procrastination plan, it was indeed the truth.

Jinshan's face froze when he heard this. Li Zhang's words were indeed reasonable. Li Yonghe and Lu Wu were both Li Zhang's elders. They both joined forces and failed to get Li Zhang to agree to engage in a marriage. He was an outsider. If Li Zhang agreed easily, he would not be able to explain to Lu Wu and the two elders.

"There is another thing, that is, before my mother passed away, I asked me to promise to take good care of Li'er. I also swore in front of my mother that I would never consider my marriage until Li'er's lifelong affairs were settled!" Li Zhang said solemnly again at this time, but compared to the above reason, this reason was compiled by Li Zhang. In fact, Li Zhang's memory of his mother is very vague, and he can't even remember her appearance.

Jinshan also showed a solemn expression when he heard Li Zhang's words, and he had no doubt about his words, because the ancients attached great importance to filial piety and rarely lie with their parents. What's more, Li Zhang's reason was very reasonable. After all, his father was a gambler, and as his elder brother, Li Zhang should take care of his sister.

"Okay, since you have such a vow, I can't force it. Then I will report to my mother after I go back. Anyway, I will do my best!" Jinshan sighed and said, temporarily giving up the plan to marry his sister to Li Zhang.

Li Zhang was relieved when he heard this. Not to mention how Jin Xiaomei looked, he really had no plans to get married now. In addition, he had always heard Lu Wu say that the backer behind Jinshan might be unlucky. Li Zhang also reminded the other party last time, so he could be friends with Jinshan, but he didn't want to have a kinship relationship so as not to get angry. This cannot be blamed on Li Zhang. After all, people are selfish, not to mention that he has Li'er and Douzi to take care of them, so he naturally dare not take risks.

In the next few days, the breakfast shop business gradually flourished. Every morning, many people rushed to the store to have breakfast, but more people still like to buy good breakfast and take it back for food. The main reason is that Li Zhang's store is too small and can only hold seven or eight tables inside, so it is not enough to sit.

That morning, Li Zhang was still helping the breakfast shop as usual. Now the braised meat shop has been handed over to Huozi and Chou Niang to manage. He, Douzi, Xiuxiu and others are all in the breakfast shop. The main reason is that it is more complicated to make breakfast. For example, the soup buns need to be steamed immediately, and the fried dough sticks need to be fried immediately. Xiuxiu and the others are not very skilled, so Li Zhang also needs to cook himself in the past few days.

"Brother, look, that old man is here again!" Just as Li Zhang was busy frying fried dough sticks, Douzi suddenly came to Li Zhang and pointed to the most inner-middle table in the store and saw an old man in his sixties sitting behind the table. Although his beard was gray-haired, he was strong and had a straight waist, not as old as he was at all.

"Come on, come here. He is an old customer in our store. I will send you a cold dish later!" Li Zhang said indifferently. He also noticed the old man. On the third day of their opening, the other party came to the store for the first time for dinner, and then came every day. The breakfast in the store was not cheap, and it seemed that the other party was also a person who was not short of money.

"I'm not talking about this. There are few tables in our store, but this old man is quite arrogant. I have been paying attention to him for several days. Every day when we don't open the door, he will send servants to wait outside the door and then help him occupy the table. And he always sits on the innermost table, and often looks at you when eating." Douzi said quietly again.

"Oh?" Li Zhang was also a little surprised when he heard this. It would be nothing if he just sent a servant to occupy the table. At most, it means that the other party is not only not short of money, but also a very particular person. But he was a little surprised when he looked at him?

Just when Li Zhang was surprised, the old man turned his head and looked at Li Zhang as Douzi said. When he found that Li Zhang was also staring at him, the old man showed a warm smile, as if he was expressing kindness to Li Zhang.
