Chapter 20 First Meeting with Yu Li
A few days passed quickly, during which Qin also came to visit once, and Wang Jianfeng also told him about his plan to go on a blind date. Qin Huairu also expressed her support, saying that it would be enough as long as Wang Jianfeng did not forget her. However, Wang Jianfeng knew from her expression that she still needed to be coaxed.
It was the weekend again, and Wang Jianfeng went directly to the next street to find Matchmaker Li. Matchmaker Li was a celebrity in the neighborhood. She had matched more than a hundred couples and was well-known in the area. After buying some gifts, Wang Jianfeng came to Matchmaker Li's house.
"Knock, knock, is Matchmaker Li home?"
"Young man, what do you want to talk to me about?" Someone soon opened the door and looked at Wang Jianfeng and asked
"Hello Aunt Li, I'm here to ask you to help me find a partner."
Then Wang Jianfeng gave a brief introduction of his situation.
"Comrade Jianfeng, you have very good conditions. What kind of person do you want to find?" Matchmaker Li said to Wang Jianfeng with a smile.
Like Wang Jianfeng, he has a car and a house, and his job is also a cadre, making 37.5 yuan a month. Although he is not a regular employee, it is basically an easy job, and purchasing is a very lucrative position. The only drawback is that he does not have his parents to help him, but this also means that there are no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It can only be said that there are pros and cons.
"It has to be young and pretty. Please keep an eye out for her."
“It doesn’t matter if I have a job or not”
"Oh, I happen to have one here. She is one of the most beautiful girls in the whole street. But her family conditions are not good. There are seven people in the family. She is the second child. She has an older brother, two younger brothers and a younger sister. The population is a bit large. Also, this girl has high standards. She graduated from high school, but did not get into college."
"Her father is the only one working in the machine repair shop. Her mother and she are unemployed. Her eldest brother is also doing odd jobs and has no job. Her younger brother and sister are still in school. This girl is also relatively filial and may help her parents occasionally."
"There is nothing wrong with these, only character is good."
"By the way, where is this girl from and what is her name?"
"The courtyard this girl gave you is not far away, just a few streets away. The family's surname is Yu, and the girl's name is Yu Li."
"What, this girl's name is Yu Li?"
"You knew each other before"
"No, no, it just sounds like a nice name."
Wang Jianfeng not only knows her, he is very familiar with her. Isn't this Yu Li the wife of Yan Jiecheng from the third uncle's family? I wonder if they are the same person. If so, then she has snatched the third uncle's daughter-in-law.
Moreover, Yu Li is not a simple person. After the reform and opening up, she opened a restaurant and hired Sha Zhu as a chef. Later, after Sha Zhu was fired, the restaurant almost went bankrupt. But after changing the model, it became popular again. She is truly a strong woman.
"How about this, if you think it's okay, then I'll go to her house and act as a matchmaker for you."
"Okay, no problem. Thank you for your help. This is a thank you gift to you. After the matter is done, I will give you another 5 yuan," said Wang Jianfeng as he took out yuan.
"Okay, just go back and wait for my good news," Matchmaker Li said happily.
After all, Wang Jianfeng is really generous. He not only gives things but also gives money. Most people nowadays just give some things, and if they give money, it would be 1 or 5 yuan. Some may give more than yuan. Wang Jianfeng gives yuan at a time, so he is a big customer.
After Wang Jianfeng left, Matchmaker Li quickly came to Yu Li's house, told her about Wang Jianfeng's general situation, and then praised him. After hearing about this, the Yu family thought it was okay and agreed, and then they made an appointment to meet tomorrow.
In fact, Yu Li's own conditions are still very good, but the main problem is her family situation. After all, there are seven people in the family to feed, and only one person has a formal job, so the pressure is indeed quite high. In addition, Yu Li's eldest brother also wants to get married, so the betrothal gift he asked for is relatively high, and the blind date failed once.
Yu Li is now only 18 years old and is not in a hurry to get married. The original situation was probably due to the influence of her family. She was also very proud and looked down on ordinary people. She delayed for two or three years, and then encountered natural disasters. She did not dare to get married. Finally, in 62, she was persuaded by Yan Bugui to marry Yan Jiecheng.
In the afternoon, just as Wang Jianfeng finished dinner, Matchmaker Li came to his house with the good news.
"Comrade Jianfeng, it's done. You get ready tomorrow and I'll bring the girl to your house."
"Your house is really well decorated. It's beautiful and has its own toilet and bathroom."
"Jianfeng, I'm not exaggerating, with your conditions, this thing will surely be accomplished tomorrow."
"I'm waiting to drink at your wedding."
"Aunt Li, I'll borrow your good words."
"Then I'll go back first, you prepare yourself well."
"Okay, take care." Soon the news that Comrade Wang Jianfeng was going to have a blind date tomorrow spread throughout the courtyard.
When Sha Zhu heard the news, he was instantly moved. He is already 22 years old this year and also wants to find a wife through blind dates, but this task is still a bit daunting.
When Xu Damao's family heard the news, they also had an idea, whether they could intercept it. Xu Damao is also 21 years old this year. As a projectionist, he is very popular, but he has a mission to go to the countryside to show movies tomorrow.
At the Jia family, Jia Zhang started cursing again when she heard the news. Qin Huairu looked sour when she heard the news, as if something of hers was lost. Although Wang Jianfeng had told her about it in advance, she still felt very unhappy. Then she thought about her situation and felt relieved. It was impossible for her to be with Wang Jianfeng.
When Yi Zhonghai heard the news, he immediately had an idea, wondering whether he should ruin his plan. But thinking that he had just been punished, he decided to keep a low profile.
The next day, Wang Jianfeng went to the steel rolling mill in the morning and asked for a day off. Then he went to the market to buy some vegetables, bought some gifts at the supply and marketing cooperative, and killed a chicken. He originally wanted to ask Sha Zhu to help prepare the table, but he didn't have a close relationship with him and his cooking skills were not bad, so he did it himself.
Soon, Matchmaker Li came to the courtyard with a very beautiful girl and a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old. Although the clothes they wore were not new, they were very clean and they had a ponytail.
"Jianfeng, this is the girl Yu Li I told you about, and the one next to her is her sister Yu Haitang."
"Yu Li, this is the Wang Jianfeng I told you about."
Matchmaker Li started to liven up the atmosphere.
"Hello, my name is Wang Jianfeng."
He stretched out his hand and looked at Yu Li in front of him with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Yu Li"
"I'm Yu Haitang, and you're my sister's blind date. You look pretty good."
Looking at the sunny and handsome Wang Jianfeng in front of her, Yu Li's heart beat faster and her face turned red unconsciously.
The two of them held hands together, and Yu Li's face turned even redder.
Matchmaker Li, who was sitting at the table, felt relieved when she saw this scene.
This couple is attracted to each other, so the relationship is probably going to work out.
The two let go of their hands.
"Come in, sit down first, I'll serve the food."
"Your house is so beautiful. Are all these rooms yours? There are toilets and bathrooms! The yard is so big," Yu Haitang chattered after coming in.
"Yes, these houses and this yard were allocated to me by the steel mill."
Soon all the dishes were served, filling the table with both meat and vegetarian dishes, which was quite sumptuous and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Stop being stunned."
"Come here and start eating."
Matchmaker Li and Yu Haitang were really greedy at this time. Even during the Chinese New Year, most families couldn't eat as well as Wang Jianfeng's family!
Yu Li gently stroked her hair. In fact, she was a little hungry. Seeing so many delicious foods, she quickly sat down and prepared to eat.
Yu Li couldn't help but think that Wang Jianfeng was not only exactly the same as Matchmaker Li said, but also better than she had imagined.
The purchasing agent was a cadre, had good skills, was young and handsome, had a car and a house, not to mention so many houses, and even a radio. To be honest, after arriving at Wang Jianfeng's house, Yu Li fell in love with this place.
This man is really nice.
The weather was good this afternoon, and the air was filled with joy. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much, and after the meal, they chatted and listened to the radio. Wang Jianfeng and Yu Li's eyes met from time to time, and Yu Li lowered her head shyly.
Looking at Yu Li's expression, Wang Jianfeng couldn't help but think that this matter was likely to succeed.
