Both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much. After the meal, Zhang Zhiqiang wanted to wash the dishes, but was driven out by Ran's mother. It was unacceptable to ask someone to do work when meeting them for the first time.

Zhang Zhiqiang stayed at the Ran family until about four o'clock, then got up to say goodbye. Ran Qiuye saw Zhang Zhiqiang out.

"Okay, wife, go back. I'll go find a matchmaker for us."

Zhang Zhiqiang said at the gate of the Meiman Courtyard.

"She's not your wife yet, you shameless bastard."

Ran Qiuye hurriedly looked around to see if anyone heard it, and angrily hit Zhang Zhiqiang.

"Haha, it's only a matter of time. I'll be leaving first, wife."

"You're still yelling."

Ran Qiuye was so anxious that she wanted to come up and cover his mouth. Why didn’t she realize that this guy was so excessive before? Now he dared to bully her.

"Hahaha, okay, stop making trouble. I'm really leaving this time."

Zhang Zhiqiang laughed twice and then stopped.

"You've been drinking, so be careful when riding your bike. If you feel dizzy, push the bike for a while."

Ran Qiuye warned worriedly, frowning slightly.

"Okay, I understand. Go back now. Goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

Zhang Zhiqiang rode away on his bike.

It was still early, so Zhang Zhiqiang first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two cans of food and a bag of peach cakes, spending a total of four yuan, and then rode to the gate of the Hongxing Street Office.

It's not time to get off work yet, Director Zhou should still be in the office.

"Hello comrade, who are you looking for?"

A female clerk stopped Zhang Zhiqiang and asked.

"I'm looking for my Aunt Zhou, oh, Director Zhou."

Zhang Zhiqiang blurted out that this would definitely attract the clerk's attention.

Sure enough, the clerk's eyes suddenly lit up. She saw that the man came on a bicycle, and she wondered if he had some relationship with Director Zhou.

"Come to see Director Zhou. I'll take you there. This way."

The female clerk enthusiastically took Zhang Zhiqiang to the second floor.

"Thank you lady... um, thank you comrade."

Zhang Zhiqiang almost slipped up and said thank you to the female donor, but fortunately he corrected himself in time.

"dong dong dong~"

"Come in~"

"Director Zhou, your nephew is looking for you. I brought him up here."

The female clerk spoke up.

Director Zhou frowned and wondered where my nephew came from.

I looked up and said, "Aunt Zhou, I'm here to see you."

Zhang Zhiqiang grinned and spoke loudly to Director Zhou.

"It's Qiangzi, come and do it. Xiaoyu, you go out first."

When Director Zhou saw that it was Zhang Zhiqiang, he quickly stood up and spoke enthusiastically.

The female clerk named Xiaoyu stepped out after hearing this, thinking that she was right. This young man had a special relationship with Director Zhou, so she also showed up.

Seeing that the manager of the public-private partnership, Mr. Jin, could not snatch the position from her this time, Xiaoyu went downstairs happily.

"Qiangzi, why did you think of coming to me today?"

Director Zhou said with a smile.

"I haven't come to see you, Aunt Zhou, for a long time, so I came to see you."

Zhang Zhiqiang said with a wink, and put the things he brought on Director Zhou's desk.

"You kid, why do you bring anything with you when you come? You only earn a few dollars a month."

"Oh, yes, you are now a level 6 fitter and a workshop team leader, and your salary is much higher than mine."

Director Zhou immediately changed his tone after he finished speaking.

Zhang Zhiqiang frowned, wondering how Director Zhou knew so much about his affairs.

Director Zhou seemed to see Zhang Zhiqiang's confusion and said, "It's my husband. He will be transferred back from the south soon. He happens to be the deputy director of your factory, so I asked him a question."

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be so amazing, the youngest level 6 fitter."

Director Zhou said in amazement that although he was not very familiar with the factory's business, the promotion should be roughly the same as that of the street office, where clerks were also divided into one, two and three levels.

Zhang Zhiqiang is already a level 6 fitter at this age, so she can't help but take him seriously.

"Ah? My uncle is going to be transferred back?"

"you do not say."

Director Zhou was also very happy when she mentioned this matter. After all, she was the only one who knew the hardships of a couple working in different places, and it was for this reason that her superiors let her husband come back.

Of course, it is also because the affairs in the south have been dealt with almost completely, and the remaining small fish and shrimps will not cause any major trouble.

"That's great. When your uncle comes back, tell me and I'll arrange a meal for us to celebrate. Maybe you and your uncle can have another child next year."

Zhang Zhiqiang never stops talking until his words are shocking, and he dares to say anything.

"You little brat, you dare to tease even your Aunt Zhou. You don't need to make any arrangements. Just come to my house when the time comes."

Aunt Zhou has seen everything at her age, so she had nothing to be embarrassed about and slapped Zhang Zhiqiang.

Zhang Zhiqiang was just happy. It seemed that their relationship had become closer, like a real aunt and nephew.

"Oh, by the way, you can say such things, you must be missing your wife."

"I've been looking at it recently, too. Take a look at the information and see if there's anything you like. I'll arrange a meeting for you."

Aunt Zhou handed a stack of information to Zhang Zhiqiang.

Zhang Zhiqiang took it and looked at it. They were all profiles of women. Some were from the city, some were from nearby villages, and some had fled from other places. They all needed the help of the various streets to find them a home.

Zhang Zhiqiang glanced at the information casually and put it aside, then looked up at Director Zhou.

"Aunt, I came here for this matter. I've been dating someone recently, and the girl asked me to find a matchmaker to propose marriage."

"How could I understand this? My parents passed away early, so I'm here to ask Aunt Zhou for help."

Zhang Zhiqiang rubbed his hands and stated the purpose of his trip, looking very embarrassed.

Director Zhou was stunned for two or three seconds, then he reacted and scolded with a smile: "You little brat, you never come to my temple for no reason. I guess you came here to ask me for something."

"Whose girl is this? Don't be fooled."

Director Zhou said that Zhang Zhiqiang is also his nephew, and there is no elder at home to keep an eye on him, so he has to ask.

"My name is Ran Qiuye, a teacher at Red Star Primary School. She's very beautiful."

Zhang Zhiqiang scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

Director Zhou thought about it and thought the teacher's words were not bad. "Okay, then I'll find a matchmaker for you and take you to the family to propose marriage."

When Zhang Zhiqiang heard this, he said, “That’s not what I meant.”

"Auntie Zhou, it's better not to bother two people for one thing. If it's convenient for you, please take me with you. When we get married, you can sit in my elder position."

Zhang Zhiqiang spoke shamelessly with a big smile on his face.

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll take you there tomorrow and come find me after get off work."

Director Zhou was not angry and agreed directly.

"Ahem, I'm afraid I can't do it tomorrow. I have an apprentice and I have to go to his house for dinner tomorrow. How about the day after tomorrow? Is that okay, Aunt Zhou?"

Zhang Zhiqiang did not forget to go to Brother Tiehua's house for dinner. He had already postponed it once. If he postponed it again, it would be immature of him.

"Okay, okay, the day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow. Bring all the gifts for them, including the betrothal gifts and so on."

After Director Zhou finished speaking, he drove Zhang Zhiqiang out.

Zhang Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief. The matchmaker issue was finally resolved, and it seemed that he had found a backer.
