Chapter 289 Why did he get involved with Silly Zhu?
“Come on, Master Li, have a drink.”
As soon as Li Jia sat down, Master Niu picked up the wine glass.
"Master Niu, if you drink with me like this, you will suffer a loss."
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, come and go."
"Okay, let's go one."
After taking a big sip, Li Jia put down the beer and put down Niu Ye's table, which didn't have any dishes.
In front of Mr. Niu, there is only a peanut and a pig ear, not to mention, in front of Mr. Pian'er, there is only a peanut.
There is also a middle-aged man. Li Jiayi is not very familiar with him, so he knows that he is a teacher.
In front of him was a pig's head and a peanut.
Yes, even though we are sitting at the same table, we still eat our own food, not together.
This is also a feature of the tavern, sharing tables.
At this moment, Cai Quanwu came over with several plates and placed them in front of Li Jiayi.
There are pork head meat, shredded ears and pork mouth strips.
“Uncle Cai, I don’t want so much, right?”
The total was only five yuan, and I had already bought two beers. The dishes that were served cost more than five yuan!
"It's okay. You can eat as much as you want, but tell me if it's not enough."
"This..."
"Okay Master Li, this is what Huizhen will do, don't I'm confused." Mr. Niu said as he picked up the wine glass.
"It's not Mr. Niu, I came here after eating. I can't finish all the dishes! But since you said so, let's eat together."
"Okay, open and bright."
It was already an hour later after two glasses of beer, and several dishes were almost finished.
To be honest, Li Jiayi didn't eat much, including Niu Ye. The one who ate the most was Pian'er Ye.
It was as if he hadn’t eaten in a few days. He, Li Jiayi, didn’t care. It would be a waste not to eat anyway.
After finishing the last sip of beer, Li Jia said to Mr. Niu: "It's getting late, I'll go back first."
"Okay, you go first, I'll finish the drink and go back."
The next day was Sunday, which was why he still came out to drink, otherwise he wouldn't have the time.
When he got home, everyone in his family had rested, so he went upstairs to rest.
At about seven o'clock the next morning, Li Jiayi came down from upstairs. He originally thought that he would be able to have breakfast when he came down, but who knew that when he came out to take a look, he didn't even cook, let alone eat.
Li Jiayi returned to the house again, went to the eldest sister's room and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" The second sister's voice came from inside the house.
"Second sister, it's me, where is the eldest sister?"
"The eldest sister has gone out a long time ago and wasn't cooking in the kitchen?" asked the second sister.
“No! There is no cooking in the kitchen.”
“Then I don’t know.”
But think about it, the second sister didn't even get up, how could she know what was going on.
No choice, Li Jiayi went to his parents' door again and knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside.
It seems that his parents have gotten up early, but what makes him wonder is, since they are all up, why is there no one at home? And they didn’t even cook.
Just when Li Jiayi was full of doubts, the eldest sister came back from outside with Li Jiafen.
"Sister, what have you and your parents been doing? Why haven't you cooked yet?"
"Are you hungry? I'll cook for you right now." The eldest sister said quickly.
“It’s not eldest sister, I’m not hungry. It’s just that I got up early this morning and there’s no one at home.”
“Oh, you’re talking about this! It’s like this, today a matchmaker came to give beauty Sister Lian was the matchmaker, and Uncle Qian came over to ask my parents to come and have a look, so I took Jiafen over to have a look."
"Ah! Sister Mei Lian is getting married?" Li Jiayi was surprised. ask.
“It’s not about getting married, but about the matchmaker coming to talk to you.”
"Oh!"
Sister Meilian, whose full name is Qian Meilian, is the eldest daughter of the Qian Guoliang family who lives in the east wing of the backyard, two rooms north of Liao Kai.
She is also twenty-one this year. Let’s put it this way, if it weren’t for the three difficult years, she would have gotten married long ago.
Who dares to add more imports during these three difficult years! More people means more mouths, and many people dare not get married even if they are single.
“Is it done?”
"I don't know. It seems that the matchmaker will take Sister Mei Lian to the prime minister's house in two days."
"Ah! Haven't we met yet?" Li Jiayi was a little disappointed.
To be honest, Li Jiayi is a person who likes fun, especially watching other people get married.
"No, it seems that the man went to the matchmaker to negotiate, and then the matchmaker found Sister Meilian."
"Okay! Sister Meilian really should get married."
In this day and age, people get married very early. Although the marriage law stipulates that a man is twenty and a woman is eighteen, there are very few people who get married at this age.
It's better in the city, because you need to bring your household registration book, and you won't be issued a certificate if you're under age.
But in rural areas, people don’t apply for a certificate at all, they just hold a banquet in the village, and it’s considered a marriage.
As for whether the law recognizes it or not, people simply don’t dare to do it. The villagers can just admit it.
In this case, someone like Qian Meilian who is not married at the age of twenty-one is considered an older unmarried young woman. And this is still talking about being in the city. If you are in the countryside and you are not married at the age of 21, it will be difficult to find your husband's family.
Because at this age, many children can play soy sauce.
"Sister, I'm going to take a look."
"Well! Go ahead! I'm going to cook now, and we'll be ready to eat when you come back."
"Okay."
Li Jiayi came out of Dongkuayuan and went directly to Qian Guoliang's house.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw several people sitting there, including Li Aimin, Ye Xin, Qian Guoliang and his wife, and of course, a middle-aged woman whom Li Jiayi didn't know.
Needless to say, this middle-aged woman should be the matchmaker.
"Son, why are you here?" Ye Xin asked as soon as Li Jia came in.
"I got up to talk about eating! There is no one at home." Li Jiayi said helplessly.
"Oops! I'm sorry, Jiayi, it's my fault. I called your parents over early in the morning." Qian Guoliang said quickly.
"Uncle Qian, it's okay, that's what I said."
Then Li Jiayi looked at the matchmaker and asked: "Auntie, is this mole on your face? Is it really stuck on? "
Li Jiayi has always regretted why most of the matchmakers have a mole on their face.
Does it mean that you can’t be a matchmaker if you don’t have moles on your face? I dressed up like this on purpose.
"You kid, what are you talking about?" Ye Xin pulled Li Jiayi over.
Then he quickly said to the matchmaker: "I'm sorry, this child is ignorant."
"It doesn't matter, kids! They are all quite naughty." The matchmaker quickly said with a smile.
Because she knew very well that if she came to act as a matchmaker, the host would quickly call someone over. This was definitely a respectable person, and she couldn't offend him.
Matchmaker! They are all kind-hearted people and will not offend others easily.
"Oops! I'm just curious, because I've seen many matchmakers, and they all have a mole on their face, so I thought it was fake."
Li Jiayi didn't say that everyone didn't care yet, he was so As soon as we said it, everyone thought about it and it was really the case.
So everyone in the room looked at the matchmaker.
This made the matchmaker feel helpless, and she quickly said: "This is true, I have had it since I was a child."
"By the way, auntie, you told me what Sister Meilian told me. Who is the target?" Li Jiayi asked.
"You kid, is this something you should be concerned about?" Ye Xin patted Li Jiayi on the head and said.
"I'm just asking." Li Jiayi felt aggrieved.
"Plus one! The man is not from our street, but from Jiaodaokou. He works as a cook at the steel rolling mill over Dongzhimen." Qian Guoliang said.
"Living in Jiaodaokou Street and working as a chef at Dongzhimen Steel Rolling Mill, you can't be a fool, right?" Li Jiayi shouted in surprise.
“Silly Pillar?”
The people in the room looked at the matchmaker again, because when the matchmaker introduced it to them just now, the place was called "Zhu".
"Silly Zhu is the nickname given to him by others. His real name is He Yuzhu." The matchmaker said quickly.
“What a fool!” Li Jiayi said in surprise.
The matchmaker looked at Li Jiayi and asked, "Do you know He Yuzhu?"
"No." Li Jiayi shook his head.
"How do you know his nickname if I don't know him?" the matchmaker asked doubtfully.
What should he say? Could it be that I have seen Qinman Siheyuan?
"Although I don't know him, I have heard of him. If it is him, I guess this matchmaker will not work."
"Ah! Why?"
This time Qian Guoliang asked. After asking, he looked at Li Jiayi.
Li Jiayi smiled bitterly and said, "Because some people don't want this matchmaker to be the matchmaker."
"What do you mean?" Even Ye Xin looked at Li Jiayi strangely this time and asked.
Li Jiayi did not answer his mother's words, but looked at the matchmaker and asked: "Auntie the matchmaker, is the person who asked you to mediate with He Yuzhu an old lady?"
The matchmaker nodded quickly and said: "That's right."
"That's right, because this is the only person who truly treats He Yuzhu and regards He Yuzhu as his grandson."
"Son, don't you know him? Why do you know him so well?" Ye Xin asked.
“Mom, I don’t know him, but I know him very well. If you don’t believe me, you’ll know just by trying it. Aren’t you going to the Xiang’s house? I guess Sister Mei Lian walked into his house with one foot. A widow came to his house to wash his clothes and tidy up his house. "What?" Qian Guoliang's wife's face changed.
Li Jiayi shook his head and said: "Not only that, after you come out of his house, there will be an old man following you, and then he will stop you and tell you that He Yuzhu has a bad temper and likes to beat women. I still don’t know about the widow.”
“What is going on?” Qian Guoliang’s daughter-in-law asked.
If she was angry just now, she is confused now, and her colleagues also feel that something is wrong.
Even the matchmaker said with a sad face: "I don't know this either!"
"Son, is this He Yuzhu really not familiar with the widow? And he also likes to beat women?"
"How is that possible! He helped Widows, that's because they see them as orphans and widowed mothers, and because he and the widow's man grew up together, as for beating women, it's even more nonsense. It's true that he has a bad temper, but he never hits women. ”
