Chapter 356 Originally for this
"Old Xu, let's eat first. There's nothing to do today. Let's eat before we leave." As soon as Xu Lingjun came back with two buckets of water, Xiuzhi greeted him to eat.
In this era, especially in rural areas, there is endless work, but no one is willing to sleep in.
"Okay, I'll just pour the water into the vat." Xu Lingjun responded, poured the water into the vat, and then came to the small kang table.
"This~Xu~Brother Xu." Li Huifang and Li Huijuan were a little embarrassed. They didn't know what to call Xu Lingjun...
They couldn't call her Lao Xu like Xiuzhi, so after thinking for a long time they had to call her Brother Xu.
"Haha~ Come~ sit down and eat quickly, you're welcome." Xu Lingjun said with a smile.
"Well~ Xiuzhi, I think we should go to the small room to eat!" Li Huijuan touched Xiuzhi and said softly.
Their status in the family is not high, and women do not have a turn to eat at the table. They serve the meals to the gentlemen. They set up a small table to eat at, but none of them sit at the head table like Xiu Zhi.
In fact, Xiuzhi is also very sensible. She doesn't serve at the table when Xu Lingjun has guests. This is not because Xu Lingjun doesn't look down on women. It's actually a tradition in rural areas in this era.
"You are guests, just eat here. I will send you to the first team after you finish eating."
Of course Xu Lingjun heard what Li Huijuan said. He didn't put Xiuzhi in trouble and said it in a dignified manner.
"That's right, you are guests, just eat here and let Lao Xu take you back later."
Xiuzhi was hesitating whether to take them to the small room, but she didn't expect her husband to be so considerate, so she gave him some advice and even grabbed Xu Lingjun's hand under the kang table to express her gratitude.
Look at her husband, he is not only capable, but he also spoils his wife. Although he is thirty-seven or eighty years old, his face looks the same as that of a man in his twenties.
Li Huifang secretly glanced at Xu Lingjun several times, especially when Xu Lingjun was carrying water just now, his figure and muscles.
Thinking about Xiuzhi's children again, Li Huifang couldn't help but think about that. Her husband was only in his forties, so there was nothing he could do!
"No, don't bother, we can just walk back by ourselves." Li Huijuan said quickly when she saw her sister was stunned.
This was enough trouble for Xiuzhi. She stayed at Xiuzhi's house for one night and had two meals, including eggs and white flour.
When they left, they even took the cloth given by others. If Xu Lingjun was asked to send them back again, it would seem that they were too ignorant!
"It's okay, I just have to go to the county, so let's go along." Xu Lingjun said.
"Xiuzhi, do you want to go to the county? I will send Teacher Han Mei to Sister Zhang's house later." Xu Lingjun saw the look in Xiuzhi's eyes and explained to her again.
"Oh, I really need to go to Sister Zhang's house. I won't go. There is still work on the team."
Xiuzhi thought Xu Lingjun was being really polite at first, but after hearing what he said, she realized that Xu Lingjun was in trouble.
I have saved a lot of eggs at home, and it’s really time to go to Sister Zhang’s house.
"By the way, you haven't bought the items in this monthly ration book yet. Remember to buy them together."
Xiuzhi added that although the family was not short of food, the supply of food still had to be purchased.
"Okay, I just asked Sister Zhang to help me buy everything. I've finished eating. You guys eat first while I go to the team to catch the carriage."
Xu Lingjun agreed vaguely, scooped up all the rice in the bowl and left.
It wasn't that he was chasing Li Huifang and the others away, it was actually that the sisters felt uncomfortable because he was eating.
Last night, Hu Dayong couldn't sleep well all night after he went back. All he could think about was Han Mei.
That's not right, Li Huifang also appeared in special circumstances and scenes, but when Li Huifang appeared, he automatically replaced Li Huifang's face with Han Mei's.
This made Hu Dayong worry all night, so early this morning he took the two boxes of good cigarettes from yesterday, packed a lot of peanuts, and used his bicycle to carry his equipment to the cinema logistics.
He mainly wanted to use the excuse of changing equipment to quickly inquire with Lao Wang about Han Mei's situation.
You must know that Lao Wang first told him about Han Mei. It seemed that Lao Wang meant to introduce him to someone.
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, I'm here to return the equipment." Hu Dayong moved the equipment to the logistics and said with a smile.
"Hey? What time did you come back yesterday? Why did you return the equipment so early this time?" Lao Wang picked up the teacup and looked at Hu Dayong in surprise.
Hu Dayong always comes back late every time he goes out to play movies, and usually doesn't return the equipment until the afternoon of the next day.
Sometimes when I have to go on field trips consecutively, I just need to register again and get some fuel. Today, the sun is rising in the west, and this guy has just arrived at work.
"Hey~Uncle Wang, you come to smoke first. By the way, this peanut is also respectful to you." Hu Dayong first gave the other party a box of cigarettes, then took out a box from his body and handed one to Lao Wang.
After he ordered it for Lao Wang, he pushed the peanut towards him.
"You boy, it seems that these seven teams are quite generous! It's you, tell me, what's the matter~" Lao Wang looked up at these things and then looked at Hu Dayong with a half-smile.
"It's okay, Uncle Wang. I'm not troubling you all the time. This is all to honor you." Hu Dayong said flatteringly.
"This is what you said, I will accept the things, and I won't care if anything happens!" Lao Wang said, making a move to collect the things.
"No, Uncle Wang, I have a little something to do, a little something, hehe~" Hu Dayong said quickly.
Lao Wang didn't say anything, and still looked at him with the same expression as before, meaning that you should tell me what happened.
Hu Dayong secretly cursed "Old Fox", but the expression on his face remained unchanged and he gave Lao Wang another cigarette.
"Uncle Wang, I want to ask you about Teacher Han Mei." Hu Dayong said while lighting Lao Wang's cigarette.
"See? Do you have an idea?" Lao Wang said with a smile.
"To tell you the truth, I fell in love with Teacher Han Mei the first time I saw her yesterday, but I'm not familiar with her, so I couldn't speak to him for a few words, so I just wanted to see if Uncle Wang could set up a relationship.
"
"Uh~ Don't worry, as long as you help me get on the line, I will definitely get this gift."
Hu Dayong didn't hide anything from the other party, and simply told him his purpose. He was very familiar with this Lao Wang.
As soon as Lao Wang heard this, he knew that Hu Dayong must have suffered from Han Mei's girl yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't have come to beg him.
"Lao Han and I have been neighbors for many years. Speaking of which, I watched Han Mei grow up. This girl is very proud."
"Old Han doesn't have any big ambitions. He has been hanging out on the streets and playing chess with me when he has nothing to do. His wife Zhao Xiangqin is also a primary school teacher, and their family is in good condition."
"By the way, Han Mei has a younger brother who graduated from junior high school this year and is preparing to take the technical secondary school entrance examination." Lao Wang said, smacking his lips and sipping his saliva.
Hu Dayong quickly refilled the water for Lao Wang. Listening to Lao Wang's opinion, the conditions of the Han family were definitely superior, and it would definitely be enough for him.
"Uncle Wang, please tell me if you can help me. I will bring you two gifts in a minute." Hu Dayong said quickly. Of course, he meant to have a blind date through an adult.
This kind of thing is very common in this era. Both parties know the basics and the conditions are similar. As long as both parents agree, the chance of a successful blind date is very high.
As for the two gifts Hu Dayong mentioned, this is the highest etiquette. It is not for the woman on the blind date, that has to be purchased separately, but the two gifts for the matchmaker. You can't make people busy in vain!
"Dayong, do you know Li Lei?" Lao Wang did not answer, but suddenly mentioned Li Lei.
"Huh? I know. We met yesterday. Teacher Han Mei didn't seem to like him very much."
Hu Dayong had done the work in advance, but he didn't know why Lao Wang suddenly mentioned Li Lei.
"The relationship between the Li family and the Han family is very good. Li Lei and Han Mei were classmates from elementary school to technical secondary school, so why didn't they succeed?" Lao Wang said calmly.
"Ah? This~" Hu Dayong couldn't explain. He thought it was because Han Mei looked down on Li Lei!
Hey, this is not right! Such things are rare in this era, so he looked at Lao Wang in confusion.
"Lao Han and the others are very used to Han Mei. Let her make the decision on this matter, which means that Han Mei must agree." Lao Wang said directly without losing his appetite.
"Then~ Then here I am." Hu Dayong was a little stupid. He didn't know what to do. Yesterday, he used all his life experience. Han Mei didn't pay attention to him at all, otherwise he wouldn't come here.
Ask Lao Wang.
"I have an idea, that's it~" Lao Wang said half a sentence when he saw that the other party had taken the bait. Of course he wanted some benefits for putting so much effort into it.
"Uncle Wang, tell me, I will bring you two gifts in a minute." Hu Dayong said quickly.
"It's nothing, but you have to be a little patient. Usually Lao Han will go to my place after get off work, or I will go to his place to play chess. Then you come to my place, I will introduce you, and we will have some drinks. Slowly~"
This Lao Wang is really not a man, he is drinking and eating because of you. Of course it cannot be Lao Wang, he is going to eat Hu Dayong's rhythm for a long time!
"Okay, Uncle Wang, please help me. I'll arrange the food and drinks."
Hu Dayong was not stupid either. Of course he understood the meaning, but he couldn't bear to let the child trap the wolf. He had to endure it for Han Mei.
