The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Liu Minghui looked at Yu Li, wanting to see if she agreed.

Yu Li said in a low voice after a while: "I think we can try to get along with each other."

Liu Minghui was very happy to see that Yu Li agreed. Then when it was almost noon, he took Yu Li to a state-owned restaurant for lunch.

After the two entered the store, Liu Minghui saw the braised pork on the menu and ordered one directly, and then ordered a portion of vegetables and two servings of rice.

After the waiter wrote the bill and took it away, Yu Li said, "Just order two bowls of noodles. This meat is expensive."

Liu Minghui was right. Yu Li was a woman who could manage a household.

"It's okay, you're too thin, you need to eat more."

Yu Li thought that she could just eat it now because she could save a lot of money by cooking for herself after getting married.

After a while, someone was called at the window to get the food. Nowadays, in state-owned restaurants, you need to get the food yourself.

Liu Minghui walked over and brought the dishes over, then started eating with Yu Li. From time to time, Liu Minghui would pick up some dishes for Yu Li and ask her to eat more. Liu Minghui felt that Yu Li was a little thin and might not be eating well at home.

After dinner, Liu Minghui took Yu Li to the cinema to watch a movie. It was a movie they had never seen before, and they both watched it with great gusto.

After watching the movie, Liu Minghui took Yu Li to the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Brother Liu, what are we doing here?"

"I'll buy you something to take back."

Yu Li didn't want it but Liu Minghui wanted to buy it for her, so he finally bought two kilograms of apples and a bag of milk candy for Yu Li to take home.

Liu Minghui rode his bike and took Yu Li home through the streets, and it took him about ten minutes to get home.

"You go in, I'll come to see you next time I have a holiday." Liu Minghui said to Yu Li.

Yu Li smiled and nodded.

"Then you better remember this, I'll be waiting for you to come over."

Liu Minghui watched Yu Li enter the yard and then went back.

When Yu Li returned home, her mother and several others were doing handicrafts at home.

When Yu's mother saw Yu Li coming in, she asked, "Lili, why did you want that young man today? Did you like him?"

Yu Li handed the food to Yu's mother: "Mom, he bought this and said it's for everyone."

Yu's mother took the thing and looked at it, and said in surprise: "A pound of milk candy, this is too much." Now a pound of milk candy costs about five yuan, and five yuan is enough for a person's living expenses for a month.

"Mom, I want some candy." At this time Yu Haitang and Yu Li's younger brother Yu Hao ran over and said.

They saw that their sister brought back some delicious food.

After giving two to each of them, Yu's mother took Yu Li into the inner room.

"Lily, tell me what you think." Yu's mother took Yu Li's hand.

Yu Li said shyly, "I think he's nice. We decided to spend two months together."

Yu's mother was also very happy to hear Yu Li say this.

Liu Minghui didn't know yet that the Yu mother and daughter were discussing him.

Liu Minghui returned to the courtyard with a lot of things in his hands. He had to cook for himself today. It was not okay to eat in the space every day.

Liu Minghui pushed his bicycle into the yard. Today was the weekend and no one was working. Many people in the yard were chatting outside. When they saw Liu Minghui coming in, someone asked, "Liu Minghui, how was your blind date today?"

Liu Minghui looked at the person who was speaking. It was Aunt Zhao who lived next door to Liu Minghui. It was obvious that the news of Liu Minghui's blind date was spread by Uncle Three.

"Aunt Zhao, of course it's done."

Hearing this, Aunt Zhao asked, "So when are you going to get married?"

"It's still early. Let's talk about it after the New Year." After saying that, he ignored them.

"Oh, Liu Minghui is so quick. I was planning to introduce my niece to him." said an old lady.

Sha Zhu was just coming out of the front yard when he heard this and immediately became alert. He went over to the aunt and said, "Aunt Qian, why don't you take a look at me? What do you think of me?"

Aunt Qian, who was being questioned, rolled her eyes and said, "Everyone knows that you, Shazhu, stare at the wife of the Jia family next door all day long, as if these neighbors can't see anything."

"Silly Zhu, if you want to get married, go find a matchmaker."

Sha Zhu was unhappy when he heard this. Aren’t you looking down on me?

"Hey, Aunt Qian, if you can introduce Liu Minghui, can't you also introduce me? I'm no worse than him."

Aunt Qian curled her lips and said, "You are in your twenties but have a face that looks like you are in your thirties. And you still have the nerve to say that you are no worse than others."

Sha Zhu was speechless and could only go to the backyard to find the deaf old lady in anger.

Seeing Sha Zhu leave, Aunt Qian muttered, "Sha Zhu doesn't even look in the mirror. He still wants to harm my niece."

Sha Zhu came to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard and shouted, "Grandma, please help me find a matchmaker. Liu Minghui in the front yard already has a girlfriend."

The deaf old lady nodded repeatedly when she saw Sha Zhu's anxious look.

"Grandson, grandma will help you find a matchmaker tomorrow."

Only then did Sha Zhu smile happily. In a good mood, Sha Zhu even cooked a meal for the deaf old lady before returning to the central courtyard.

As soon as I got home, He Yushui was waiting for me.

"Brother, where have you been? I'm almost starving."

He Yushui is 13 years old and currently in junior high school. He usually lives in school and only comes back once on Sundays.

Now Sha Zhu has not been tied down by Qin Huairu and is still nice to his sister He Yushui.

"Wait a minute, I'll go cook."

Then Sha Zhu went to the kitchen to cook.

But what he didn't know was that Xu Damao had heard the conversation between the two at the deaf old lady's house.

After listening to their conversation, Xu Damao hurried home. Seeing him like this, Xu's father asked, "What's wrong with you, Damao? Is someone chasing you?"

"It's Silly Zhu, that bastard actually wants to go on a blind date."

At this time, Xu's mother also came out from the inner room. She now works as a servant in the Lou family and comes back once every Sunday.

"Shazhu is already in his early twenties, isn't it normal for him to go on a blind date?"

"After a few days, when you get a permanent job, your father and I will move out. This place will be perfect for you to marry a wife."

Xu's mother looked at Xu Damao and said.

Xu's father planned to give his job to Xu Damao when the steel mill was merged, and he would find another job in the cinema.

Xu Damao was not surprised because his father had already told him about it.

"Okay, I get it. I'll just put up with him for a few days."

Xu Damao said to his parents.

Liu Minghui didn't know that so many things had happened because of his blind date, but even if he knew he wouldn't care.

Today Liu Minghui was cooking at home. He took out a pound of pork, added some green peppers and stir-fried it into a pork stew. The delicious smell made Jia Jiabanggeng from Zhongyuan cry out for more meat.

Qin Huairu persuaded Bang Geng in a gentle voice.

"That's someone else's. We don't have meat at home. I'll buy you some meat when your dad gets his salary."

Although Qin Huairu said so, the stick was still rolling on the ground. It seemed that she had learned the skills from Jia Zhang.
