Chapter 67 He Yuzhu’s blind date
In the new year, major factories are expanding their recruitment, and more and more people are pouring into Sijiu City. Living supplies also began to become scarce.
As the population increases, public security in the city becomes worse and worse. People in the city bureau are too busy to work without touching the ground, and they work more and more overtime.
The demand for dinner in the cafeteria also increased. Master Huang retired completely during the Chinese New Year and never came back after the Chinese New Year.
He Yuzhu and Master Song, who is in charge of the small kitchen with him, sometimes have to support the big kitchen during dinner.
Due to the increase in the migrant population, vegetables and other agricultural products are becoming increasingly difficult to buy, so the greenhouse in the backyard of He Yuzhu's home plays an important role in protecting the family.
On this day, He Yuzhu sent vegetables to Master's house again.
The wife saw that He Yuzhu had brought a lot of vegetables: "Zhuzhu, why did you bring so many vegetables?"
"Senior Wife, these vegetables will get old if you don't pick them. Let Senior Sister come back and get some when the time comes. Everyone will share a share." He Yuzhu said and put the vegetables he brought in the kitchen.
After He Yuzhu finished his work, the mistress called He Yuzhu into the room: "Zhuzhu, you are already a grown man, shouldn't you think about finding a partner?"
He Yuzhu was a little embarrassed: "Master's wife, how old am I? I'm still young."
Wife: "You are already 22 and still young. If you don't look for it, no one will want it."
He Yuzhu: "Isn't it because I haven't found the right one?"
Mistress: "Then what kind of thing do you want to find? Mistress can help you find it."
He Yuzhu: "I haven't thought about it."
Wife: "Then think about it carefully."
He Yuzhu had no choice but to resort to a delaying tactic: "I'll go back and think about it, and I'll tell you later. I have something else to do later, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, He Yuzhu got on his bicycle and ran away.
The mistress stood at the door and shouted at He Yuzhu's back: "Go back and think carefully."
"I know." He Yuzhu rode faster.
"This brat." The wife looked at He Yuzhu walking away, shook her head and cursed with a smile, then went home.
In the evening, Fan Ting took her children back to her parents' house for dinner.
Wife: "Tingting, Zhuzi is not young anymore. It's time to find a partner. His mother left early, and his father left them alone again. He treats us as family, and your father and I have to take care of it. You want to If you know someone suitable, help him keep an eye on it.”
Fan Ting: "Don't worry, I regard Zhu Zhu as my younger brother, and I will definitely find him a good one."
Wife: "Remember this and ask more people to inquire."
Fan Ting said to Zhou Jianye after returning home: "You should also pay attention to Zhu Zhu, and help Zhu Zhu find out if there are any good ones."
Zhou Jianye: "Okay, I'll remember it. I'll ask about it later."
He Yuzhu didn't know that his wife had already started mobilizing the whole family to find him a partner, but he still went to and from get off work as usual.
He Yuzhu was resting at home that day and did not go to work. Hide in the workshop in the east wing and carve a dragon-tiger fight. In recent years, He Yuzhu's carving skills have become more and more exquisite. No worse than those carved by masters.
Near noon, He Yuzhu carved out the outline. Putting down the carving knife, He Yuzhu went to the kitchen to make lunch.
After eating, He Yuzhu sat on a recliner and read a book to rest. He Yuzhu is not going to continue carving in the afternoon and will save it for later.
Zhou Jianye came to the door in the afternoon: "You are living a good life at home."
He Yuzhu: "It's okay. You're not working in the office at this time. Why are you here?"
Zhou Jianye also pulled a recliner and sat down. He poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip: "Comfortable."
"Of course I have a good reason to come to you."
"What good can you do by coming to me?" He Yuzhu didn't believe it.
"Isn't it a good thing to introduce someone to you?"
He Yuzhu was a little confused when he heard this: "Why did you introduce someone to me?"
"Your senior sister, the mission assigned by my wife. Don't you know?"
"I don't know? Just a few days ago, my wife said that I was getting older and it was time to find a partner. I said I would think about it again."
"Isn't that all? I'm trying to find a suitable partner for you."
Zhou Jianye continued: "We are going on a blind date next Saturday. Come to my house to cook a table of delicious food at noon. Dress well and leave a good impression on the girl."
He Yuzhu: "Why are we going on a blind date next Saturday? I haven't decided what to look for yet."
Zhou Jianye: "Think about whatever you want, don't be picky, it's settled."
"I still have to go back to work. I'm leaving. Just don't forget to go on a blind date next Saturday."
After saying that, Zhou Jianye stood up and left.
He Yuzhu looked confused as he watched Zhou Jianye leave in a hurry. On the blind date next Saturday, Zhou Jianye left without telling him who the woman was or where she was. If you don’t know any information, what should you prepare? I've never seen anything so unreliable.
The next day, He Yuzhu took advantage of his break after cooking at noon to go to the police station where Zhou Jianye was located to look for Zhou Jianye.
Zhou Jianye: "You come here at this time, what's wrong?"
He Yuzhu said angrily: "Of course it's something. Yesterday you told me about the blind date. Who the blind date was and what it was about. You didn't tell me anything. How could I prepare."
Zhou Jianye asked confusedly: "Didn't I tell you yesterday?"
"Say a P."
"Then it's not too late for me to tell you now."
"Then tell me, who is the woman, where is she from, and what is her situation?"
"The woman's name is Song Jinfeng, a clerk at the street office, and her parents are martyrs. That's all I know."
"Okay, I understand. Just go ahead and get busy. I'm going back to work."
He Yuzhu came to this trip to at least know who the woman was.
Time passed quickly, and the day of the blind date arrived in the blink of an eye.
After He Yuzhu got up in the morning and had a meal with Yuyu, he wanted to send Yuyu to his master's house.
Yuyu said pitifully: "Brother, are you looking for a wife? Don't you want Yuyu?"
He Yuzhu: "Yu Yu, why do you say that? How could my brother not want you? My brother just wants to find you a sister-in-law, so that you will have someone to love you in the future."
Yuyu: "But Xiaoli's father found a stepmother for her, who was not nice to her at all, and then no one took care of her."
He Yuzhu: "Yu Yu, don't worry, my brother will not abandon you. He will find you a sister-in-law who is good to Yu Yu."
Yuyu was still a little worried: "Okay then. Yuyu is very good."
Seeing Yu Yu's condition, He Yuzhu couldn't bear to send her to his master's house, so he decided to take Yu Yu to meet his senior sister on a blind date: "Yu Yu, let's do this. My brother will take you to sister Tingting's house. Is that okay?"
When Yu Yu heard that her brother was going to take her on a blind date, she was a little hesitant: "I'll go with him. What if the other party sees that he's not willing? Isn't my brother going to have no wife? Otherwise, I'd better go and play with Xiaohu."
He Yuzhu: "It's okay, my brother is here for everything. If this doesn't work, just find another one. My brother will find someone who is good at rain."
He Yuzhu put on his clothes and went to his senior sister Fan Ting's house with the rainwater.
