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.
Only Liao Dongfang and Ran Qiuye were left.
Liao Dongfang is separated from her family and lives on campus.
Ran Qiuye came to chat with Liao Dongfang.
In school, Ran Qiuye only has Liao Dongfang as a friend.
Ran Qiuye sat in front of the table, looking at the falling leaves outside the window, and sighed melancholy.
"Dongfang, our fate is just like the fallen leaves. Before the flower season comes, we can only wail and wither in the freezing night."
"Oh, you are playing petty bourgeoisie again, Qiuye, I'm not telling you, you have to change this bad habit in the future."
Liao Dongfang was sweeping the floor and wiping the table while chatting with Ran Qiuye.
"Change, how to change? Can my problems be changed, and my background can be changed?" Ran Qiuye felt a little dizzy, and his eyes began to turn red.
"Hey, why don't you move out of your house and at least make a gesture!"
"Is it useful? It's useless! Look at you, but after you move out from home, you still have to go to the street office to study."
"At least it's a gesture. As a person, you have to do what Director Yu said. Attitude is the most important thing."
After Liao Dongfang finished sweeping the floor, she poured a cup of hot tea for Ran Qiuye and handed it to her: "Warm your hands, by the way, I remember Teacher Yan Bugui, didn't I introduce you to someone? I heard that my family is from a good background, and they are still in the cafeteria.
The chef.”
Ran Qiuye looked lonely: "Don't mention it, Yan Bugui is unreliable, and now the cook is married to a truck repairman in the steel rolling mill."
Speaking of this, a stalwart figure appeared in Ran Qiuye's mind.
After Silly Pillar, she was introduced to several people.
The conditions of those men were also good, but she couldn't accept them.
Because, she can't help but compare them with Li Weidong.
As a result, one can imagine how those boys can be compared with Li Weidong.
Of course, there is no further story about the blind date.
Thinking of these, Ran Qiuye felt a trace of sadness in his heart.
It would have been better if I had known Li Weidong earlier.
While the two were chatting, the door was knocked open.
The person who knocked on the door was Yu Li.
"Ah, Director Yu, why are you here? I haven't finished writing this week's study report yet."
Liao Dongfang was a little surprised and hurriedly invited Yu Li into the room.
When Yu Li saw Ran Qiuye, she felt that he looked familiar. She thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "This is Banggan's teacher, I have seen you in the courtyard."
"Hello, Director Yu, I am Ran Qiuye, Teacher Liao's colleague." Ran Qiuye never expected that Yu Li would appear here.
Just now I was thinking about someone else's man.
I felt as if I had been caught red-handed.
Her face turned red and her voice trembled a little.
Yu Li felt a little strange and was waiting to ask more questions.
Liao Dongfang thought that Ran Qiuye was afraid of the street office workers, so she quickly helped Ran Qiuye to cover up: "Teacher Ran, since you are not feeling well, go back quickly. We will discuss the issue of the papers later."
Ran Qiuye couldn't sit still at this moment. After hearing Liao Dongfang's words, he immediately stood up and nodded: "Okay, okay, we will discuss it later."
Looking at Ran Qiuye's hastily leaving, Yu Li always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't think much about it.
Liao Dongfang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This Ran Qiuye has too many intellectual problems.
She always feels that the world belongs to her alone. When she encounters a slight setback, she feels like the sky is falling.
She stood up and helped Yu Li pour tea.
Yu Li said: "Teacher Liao, don't be busy. I'm here today to tell you a good thing."
"Good thing?"
"Yes, I remember you are not married yet, right?"
Liao Dongfang said sheepishly: "Mr. Yu, you know my situation, who would marry me?"
"Don't say that. You can't choose your origin. You've performed very well. I've noticed all of this. I'm here today just to introduce you to a partner." Yu Li said.
Seeing Liao Dongfang's mouth wide open, she was a little surprised, and she continued: "The man's name is Li Kuiyong, he is my cousin, and he is now a mechanic in a machinery factory. His family has average financial conditions. He has an old mother, two brothers, and two sisters.
"
Liao Dongfang couldn't wait to ask: "What is his composition?"
This is her biggest concern.
If your family is poor, you can work hard slowly. It doesn't matter if you have a mother and younger brothers. The most important thing is that the family composition is good.
"Three generations of farm laborers," Yu Li said.
Liao Dongfang thought for a long time, nodded and said: "I want to get along with him first, is that okay?"
"Of course, it's a new world now. There's no need to talk about matchmaking. I'm just considering your situation and setting up a matchmaking relationship with you." Yu Li said with a smile.
Liao Dongfang felt a deep sense of concern from Yu Li's words.
She stood up and bowed to Yu Li: "Mr. Yu, thank you so much. If the wedding happens, I will definitely prepare a generous gift for you."
"Forget it about the gift, I'm not a professional in fiber drawing." Yu Li said with profound meaning: "However, for this kind of thing, we must do it as soon as possible and make sure nothing goes wrong."
"I understand, then when can Li Kuiyong and I meet?" Liao Dongfang is a decisive woman, otherwise she would not move out from home.
Yu Li said: "Just these two days, you wait for my news."
She thought to herself that she didn't know what the situation was like with Li Weidong. If something went wrong, it would be too embarrassing.
Yu Li felt a little anxious.
...
The situation on Li Weidong's side is very good, not a small good, but a great good.
When he introduced Liao Dongfang's situation to Li Kuiyong, not only Li Kuiyong was satisfied, but even Kui Yong's mother nodded frequently.
"That girl is a teacher. Although she is not as good as a worker, she still has a serious career. She is much better than the people I introduced before. As for her background... Our family is a third-generation farmhand. How can we not protect a little girl?"
"I'm just afraid that the little girl won't like me when we meet." At the critical moment, Li Kuiyong's honest character emerged.
Kui Yongniang was also worried about this. When she saw Li Weidong, she came up with an idea.
"Weidong, you are someone who has been here before. Can't you just teach your cousin how to get along with girls?"
As a cousin and a matchmaker, Li Weidong certainly has the unshirkable responsibility.
He pulled Li Kuiyong outside and began to teach him the secrets of getting along with girls.
"First of all, respect her living habits, hobbies, personality and values.
Don't be full of bad words.
Secondly, you must have confidence. Whether a man is attractive or not depends to a large extent on whether he is confident.
Also, don't borrow clothes. When you meet Liao Dongfang, wear your work clothes.
It's best to get some oil stains on your clothes to show your true qualities as a worker.
Girls nowadays like this.
"
Li Kuiyong nodded frequently after hearing this: "Brother, I can do what you said. There is just one problem, when will I meet that girl?"
