Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Outside the cafeteria.

"Brother Lou..."

"Brother Yang..."

Director Yang and Director Lou exchanged pleasantries.

Mother Lou behaved properly and bowed slightly.

"Director Yang, I am sorry to bother you again."

"No, no, don't be polite. That's too polite."

"Hello, Uncle Yang."

Lou Xiao'e greeted them obediently, but her beautiful eyes unconsciously looked towards the cafeteria, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

If all goes well, this may be her last time to come to the cafeteria to enjoy the delicious food.

My mother is looking around for the right person. Once she gets married, she won't be able to come here anymore.

She didn't quite understand that the marriage of industry and commerce was the trend of the times.

But she understood that her mother loved her the most and would never hurt her.

Several of my sisters got married in the same way, and they live a pretty good life.

"Xiao'e, good child, good child."

Director Yang smiled and looked at her, then looked at Director Lou.

Seriously said: "Brother Lou, last time you mentioned that you wanted Xiao E to marry Xiao He, are you serious about that?"

Lou Xiao'e blinked involuntarily.

Mother Lou frowned slightly and looked at Director Lou in confusion.

Director Lou was a little confused when asked this question. Seeing his wife staring at him in confusion, he nodded reluctantly and said with a look of regret:

"I do have this idea, but it's a pity, didn't you say that Master He is already married?"

As he spoke, Director Lou winked at Director Yang subtly.

"Brother Lou, when did I say Xiao He was married?"

Director Yang looked puzzled and explained, "What I told you last time was that Xiao He might already have someone he likes. I need to ask for details. Now I have found out that Xiao He actually doesn't have a partner yet."

The girl was right next to him, and it would be so unpleasant to just say they broke up, and it would also affect He Yuzhu's image. Director Yang decided to tell a small lie that would not cause any harm.

"..."

Director Lou looked at Director Yang with resentment.

You, guy, didn’t say that last time. You insisted that you already had a partner.

Feeling the chill behind him, Director Lou said blankly:

"Is that so? Maybe I was drunk that day and heard it wrongly. Oh, drinking makes things worse, drinking makes things worse."

"That is to say, your wish for Xiao'e to marry Xiao He was just drunken talk, so it doesn't count."

Director Yang felt a little regretful. If they were really serious, he felt that Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu were quite a good match, and he wouldn't mind acting as a matchmaker.

Although the Lou family is a merchant family, they are very good in all aspects. They have made contributions to logistics supply and are real heroes.

The marriage between industry and commerce is an even closer relationship.

"right……"

Director Lou was about to nod his head, but when he caught sight of his wife's cold eyes, he immediately said seriously:

"Brother Yang, what I meant was that I was drunk that day and didn't hear exactly what you said, but I did speak from the heart, very seriously."

"That's good. I just want to arrange a marriage for Xiao'e. The target is Xiao He. He is now the canteen director of our steel mill. He has good conditions in all aspects and has a very good personality."

Director Yang introduced it with a smile.

Then he looked at Lou's mother and asked, "What do you think, sister-in-law?"

Mother Lou smiled gently.

"Everyone in my family listens to my husband. As a woman, I always listen to him."

Lou Xiao'e bit her lips gently, lowered her head with a flushed face, she understood, probably, maybe, she was going to marry He Yuzhu, it seemed, it seemed, it was not bad.

"..."

Director Lou didn't want to talk.

However, when he heard that He Yuzhu had become the canteen director, his resistance was largely eliminated.

The only thing that hasn't gone away is that because this guy suddenly showed up, I will inevitably have to kneel in front of the keyboard again when I go back. It's all his fault.

Moreover, the father-in-law just doesn't like his son-in-law no matter how he looks at him.

"If this is the case, it's only a matter of time. It's better to do it now than to wait for a better day."

Director Yang suggested with a smile: "Let's do it today. I'll take them to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register. It will only take about ten or twenty minutes. When we come back, let Xiao He prepare a meal and we'll have a meal together. The ceremony will also be acceptable, and the marriage will be settled. Brother Lou, what do you think of this arrangement?"

So fast?

Lou Xiao'e felt flustered and her face turned even redder.

Mother Lou smiled with relief.

Director Lou glanced at her and sighed. "Don't ask me, I'm not the boss."

"Brother Yang, let's follow your arrangement. You are right. We will get married sooner or later. Let's do it today."

"That's good, Brother Lou, sister-in-law, please wait a moment..."

......

In the cafeteria office.

He Yuzhu was daydreaming and drawing circles.

Director Yang walked in with a smile on his face, grabbed his arm and dragged him out.

"Director, what's the matter?" He Yuzhu asked curiously.

"Didn't I tell you before that I would find you a wife? Now that it's settled, let's go register now."

Just kidding.

He Yuzhu was puzzled and stopped immediately.

Director Yang pulled him but couldn't move him. He said with a smile:

"Hey kid, what are you still hesitating about? Go register for marriage."

"Director, are you sure you're not kidding me?"

He Yuzhu frowned and looked at him. He felt that Director Yang was fooling him.

After going out for a while, he came back and said that he had been introduced to a person and we went to register immediately.

Even if you randomly pick someone on the street, it won’t be that fast.

"I'm kidding you about this."

Director Yang pulled again in a bad mood, but it still didn't move. He said helplessly:

"What are you waiting for, kid? I tell you, marriage is that simple. If both parties are suitable, then get married. After marriage, there will be constraints, and those small conflicts will disappear after some adjustment.

"It's different from your previous free love. Breaking up over a small matter is not the way to live. Dating without the purpose of getting married is not serious."

Is this really the case?

He has never been married.

He Yuzhu didn't understand, but from a modern perspective, all this seemed too hasty.

They say they will get married after just one meeting, but we haven’t even met yet.

This is too outrageous. He Yuzhu said seriously:

"This is too hasty. I don't know each other, and she doesn't know me either. We have never met. Getting married like this is irresponsible to both parties."

"Don't worry, she has been eyeing you for a long time and asked me to find out about you."

Director Yang shook his head and explained solemnly: "You had a partner before, but I didn't tell you. Now you've broken up. Isn't this just right? As soon as I mentioned this, she agreed. Do you think I'm really so powerful that I can easily find a partner for you?

"I'm telling you, kid, I've arranged everything for you. Don't let me down at the critical moment. As long as you show up, register, and come back for a meal, the marriage will be done. It's as simple as taking your wife home."

He Yuzhu felt warmed at heart when he saw Director Yang being so kind-hearted, but he had to consider his lifelong affairs carefully.

"Even if the other party knows me, I still don't know who the other party is. You should at least tell me who the other party is and whether I have seen him before."

"Look at my memory."

Director Yang patted his forehead and said with a smile: "I forgot about this matter. Remember that time when I went to the steel plant director's house for a family dinner? They had met you, but I don't know whether you met them or not.

“In general, their family is good, they are engaged in business, and you are in industry, so you are a good match, and the girl is a lady from a good family;

"Oh, by the way, her name is Lou Xiao'e..."

Lou Xiaoe?

He Yuzhu was stunned...
