The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Chapter 14 Matchmaker Wang

Following the instructions of the aunties, Liu Minghui came to the backyard and knocked on the door.

"Come on, come on. Who are you? Who are you, young man? Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Matchmaker Wang asked Liu Minghui after opening the door. There was no such person as Liu Minghui in her memory, but those who came to her were there for matchmaking, so she would not push them away.

Liu Minghui handed over the fruit in his hand and said, "I am Liu Minghui who lives in Courtyard 95. I came here to ask for your help in matchmaking."

When matchmaker Wang heard that a business was coming, she quickly asked Liu Minghui to come in and sit down. Then she poured a glass of water for Liu Minghui and sat down.

"Xiao Liu, what kind of person do you want to find? Let me see if I have anything suitable."

As soon as matchmaker Wang opened the door, she saw Liu Minghui wearing a watch and riding a bicycle, which showed that Liu Minghui had good conditions.

Liu Minghui looked at Matchmaker Wang and said, "I have a goal of my own, so I'm planning to ask you to help me find out."

Matchmaker Wang was not disappointed when she heard this. She said, "Who do you like? Tell me and I'll go ask for you later."

Liu Minghui said, "I have my eyes on Yu Li, the eldest daughter of the Yu family in Shajing Hutong. Let me first tell you about my conditions."

Liu Minghui first stated his goal and then said, "I work in a steel mill, as a purchaser, earning 95 yuan a month. My parents are in the countryside, and I have two older brothers. My parents are taken care of by my brothers, and I take home yuan a month. I have a room in the east wing of the courtyard at No. ."

Liu Minghui took a sip of water and said, "My conditions are like this. Please go over and talk to me about the betrothal gifts and other things."

"You have good conditions, but I heard that the eldest daughter of the Yu family is not yet eighteen years old." Matchmaker Wang said after thinking for a while.

Liu Minghui didn't care and said, "I won't be twenty until after the New Year either. If the Yu family agrees, we can just date for two or three months and get married after the New Year."

In this era, blind dates usually result in marriage within a few days, and matchmaker Wang obviously felt that the girl was not old enough to be a matchmaker.

"If you can handle this matter, I will pay you five dollars as a matchmaker." Liu Minghui tempted.

Matchmaker Wang was overjoyed. Usually, matchmaking only cost a few cents, but this was only five dollars. She was so happy that she nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, I'll go and help you."

After Liu Minghui finished talking about the matter, he left.

After Liu Minghui left, Matchmaker Wang planned to visit Yu's house.

Matchmaker Wang came to the courtyard where the Yu family lived in Shajing Hutong. It was a two-story courtyard.

Matchmaker Wang is considered a celebrity in Nanluoguxiang and was seen as soon as she entered the yard.

"Matchmaker Wang, who are you looking for?" an old lady asked.

"Sister, I'm here to visit the Yu family." Matchmaker Wang replied enthusiastically.

"You are trying to matchmake for the eldest daughter of the Yu family. Which boy is it?"

"It's still uncertain. Let's talk about it later. I'll go in first." Matchmaker Wang went in without saying who she was.

Yu's mother had already heard the noise outside at home. When she opened the door, she saw Matchmaker Wang walking towards her house, and she hurriedly welcomed her in.

It is difficult to find a job now, and Yu Li can only help her mother with some manual work at home. When Yu Li saw a guest coming, she went to the kitchen and poured out a glass of water.

Matchmaker Wang looked at Yu Li who was pouring water for her, then looked at Yu's mother and said, "Sister, I'm here on someone's behalf. That person has taken a fancy to your Yu Li and wants me to come over and act as a matchmaker." As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Li blushed immediately, put down her things and walked into the inner room.

Yu's mother didn't care, she just thought the little girl was shy and embarrassed.

"Whose boy is he? My Yu Li is not old enough." Yu's mother looked at Matchmaker Wang and said.

Matchmaker Wang took a sip of water and said, "It's Liu Minghui who lives in Courtyard 95. He's 19 years old and a buyer for the steel mill. He knows what you're talking about. He saw your daughter when he was shopping at the supply and marketing cooperative one day and fell in love with her, so he asked me to come over and mediate."

"They said that if it's possible, we can just date for two or three months and see how it goes. If there's no problem, we can get married after the new year."

Matchmaker Wang told Liu Minghui all the conditions in one breath. It all depends on what Yu's mother says.

There are five people in the Yu family. Yu Li has a younger sister, Yu Haitang, who is only twelve years old this year, and a younger brother, who is only eight years old.

Only Yu's father has a job in the Yu family. If the whole family did not have city hukou, the Yu family would not have a good life.

Yu's mother originally planned to keep Yu Li for two or three years and to find a job for her next year to subsidize the family.

But now someone came to my house to propose marriage and I didn't know how to refuse, after all, the other party's conditions were not bad. I planned to ask about the situation.

"What's the situation at that young man's home?"

When matchmaker Wang heard Yu's mother asking this, she quickly said, "Although Liu Minghui was born in the countryside, he found a job in a steel rolling mill and has an east wing in a courtyard. His parents are in the countryside and he has two older brothers to take care of him. They said he only needs to send five yuan a month. If Yu Li marries him, she can be the head of the family."

When Yu's mother heard this, she thought it was a good idea. She didn't have to live with her parents and there would be less trouble.

So Yu's mother asked Wang the matchmaker to sit for a while while she went to discuss it with Yu Li.

When Yu's mother came to the inner room, she saw Yu Li sitting there in a daze.

"Lili, you heard it too. The boy is pretty good. What do you think?"

Yu Li thought about it carefully and decided that it would be better to meet him first.

"Then let's meet." Yu Li said with a blushing face.

Yu's mother came out and said to Matchmaker Wang, "There is no problem on our side. Let the two children meet first."

Matchmaker Wang was delighted and said, "Then let's set it up at nine o'clock this weekend in the morning at Beihai Park. Let the two children go there to play and interact with each other."

After Yu's mother said it was okay, the matchmaker left Yu's house.

On the other side, Liu Minghui was sleeping soundly in the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill, completely unaware that the matchmaker had already helped him get the job done.

When Liu Minghui woke up, he saw that it was almost time to get off work, so he quickly washed his face and went to find Li Huaide.

After Liu Minghui found Li Huaide, Li Huaide gave him the car keys and reminded him, "Drive slowly. Remember to go to the security department to get a gun," and then handed Liu Minghui a note.

Liu Minghui waved his hand to indicate that he understood. He first went to the Transportation Department to find a car and then went to the Security Department.

Liu Minghui handed the note given by Li Huaide to the chief of the security department, whose name was Hao Guofu. He looked at Liu Minghui's note, nodded, and took Liu Minghui to the armory of the security department.

When Liu Minghui went in and took a look, he was shocked. Not only were there pistols, there were also many rifles and even anti-aircraft guns.

In this era, the Security Department is under the management of the Armed Forces Department, and is basically staffed by retired veterans. Militia training is also organized regularly.
