Yan Bugui was recently busy explaining the blind date for his eldest son Yan Cheng. He relied on many connections to contact a suitable family. The girl not only had an urban household registration in the capital, but also had a decent high school education. She now works in a cotton spinning factory. .
Although Yan Bugui is a well-known old man, he has to show up for his son's blind date. After all, the child's marriage problem is also regarded as his responsibility.
The matchmaker Aunt Liu and the girl were waiting for Yan Jiecheng at the entrance of the cinema, but suddenly she felt a stomachache. It was obvious that a "volcano" was about to erupt, and she realized that she had eaten too much today.
"Lesbian, I'm going to go to the latrine! You wait for me here for a while." Aunt Liu, the matchmaker, looked at the girl embarrassedly.
"Aunt Liu, go ahead!"
"Well, you must wait for me to come back!" Aunt Liu, the matchmaker, turned around and told the girl as she walked away.
"OK!"
The girl answered casually and looked around boredly. Then she saw a young man with a shoulder bag wandering around leisurely.
Wearing a neat and tidy gray tunic suit, he looked very strong at a height of nearly 1.8 meters. The girl's heart trembled for no reason, and she suddenly longed for him to be her blind date.
The girl walked towards the young man in a strange way, and then said in a shy voice, "Comrade, are you looking for me?"
"Ah?" The young man looked at the tall girl in front of him in confusion, always feeling that she looked familiar.
"Hello! Girl, who are you?"
"My name is Yu Li."
"Yu Li?" Only then did the young man realize why he looked familiar. It turned out that she was Yan Bugui's eldest daughter-in-law Yu Li.
"Well, why did you come so late?"
"Huh? Just after I got off work, some leaders suddenly came to the factory, and I was asked to take charge of my shift." The young man realized that the other party might have recognized the wrong person, and then explained casually with a smile.
"Ah? It seems that your factory leaders think highly of you!" The girl showed a sweet smile.
"Well, not bad!"
The young man suddenly felt a little bored today. The male protagonist Zhou Ming ran out to hang out. Unexpectedly, he met Yu Li, who had just started a blind date. It was guessed that Yu Li's blind date today was probably Yan Jiecheng.
Thinking that Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng had already gotten married during the Spring Festival of 1966, Zhou Ming guessed that the time from blind date to marriage was very short. In fact, in this special era, this kind of thing is very common.
"Yu Li, the movie is about to start. Do you want to go watch a movie with me?"
"OK!"
Yu Li happily agreed to Zhou Ming's invitation. She had long forgotten about the matchmaker Aunt Liu who had diarrhea and went to the toilet, and did not realize that she had mistakenly identified her blind date.
Zhou Ming didn't have any bad intentions, he just wanted someone to watch a movie with him. The misunderstanding would be explained sooner or later, so he might as well enjoy it now.
Zhou Ming took Yu Li like his first love. The young boy and the girl shyly walked into the cinema and watched the old movie on the big screen. After watching it for a long time, Zhou Ming realized that it was "Third Sister Liu".
Looking up at Yu Li, who had been staring at the screen, Zhou Ming put his hand into his shoulder bag and took out the melon seeds and peanut candied haws directly from the space.
"Yu Li, here's the candied haws for you."
"Ah? Where did you get these things?" Yu Li looked at Zhou Ming in surprise as he handed melon seeds, peanuts and candied haws.
"Haha, have you forgotten that I have this?" Zhou Ming patted his shoulder bag.
Yu Li then showed a clear expression, and then took the snack with a sweet look on her face, "You...you are so attentive."
"Haha..." Zhou Ming didn't explain anything.
The movie ended quickly, and Yu Li lost her initial acerbity and slowly became enthusiastic. However, she was still reluctant to eat the snacks Zhou Ming gave her.
Zhou Ming always sent Yu Li to her doorstep in a gentlemanly manner, and then Yu Li said reluctantly, "I'm home."
Zhou Ming had been paying attention to Yu Li's situation, and then thoughtfully took out two packages of melon seeds and peanuts from his shoulder bag and handed them to Yu Li.
"Yu Li, I still have some snacks here. You can take them back!"
"Ah? Thank you!"
"Haha, you're welcome!" Looking at the shy Yu Li in front of him, Zhou Ming explained with a smile, "I should be the one to say thank you. After all, you watched a movie with me."
"Can we meet again in the future?" Yu Li suddenly turned red and did not dare to look up at Zhou Ming.
"OK!"
"Well, I don't know your name yet." Yu Li suddenly thought of a very important question, "Aunt Liu hasn't had time to tell me yet."
"My name is He Yuzhu. I am an eighth-level kitchen worker at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. My monthly salary is 37.5 yuan. I have a 40-square-meter house in a courtyard in Beijing. I have no father or mother. I have a younger sister who is already working."
"Ah? Didn't Aunt Liu say that your father is a primary school teacher?" At this time, Yu Li also realized that she had made the wrong blind date.
"I'm sorry! I...I recognized the wrong person." Yu Li quickly apologized with a blushing face, and returned the snacks in her hand to Zhou Ming, "Give these things back to you."
"Yu Li, thank you for watching a movie with me tonight. These things are from my heart."
"Huh? Then...thank you then."
"Yu Li, if you think I'm pretty good, let's meet in front of the cinema tomorrow." Zhou Mingting enjoyed today's date, then smiled and invited, "I will wait until ten o'clock at night. If you don't come to the cinema, I also know your thoughts."
"ah?"
…
The Yan Bugui family was undoubtedly angry today. When Yan Jiecheng came to the cinema, he saw no girl at all, only the smelly matchmaker Aunt Liu.
"Aunt Liu, where is the girl I'm on a blind date with?"
Aunt Liu, the matchmaker, who had just come out of the hut, bumped into Yan Jiecheng who was like a headless fly. Then Aunt Liu guessed that Yu Li had left. No matter what the reason was, she couldn't bear the blame.
"Yan Jiecheng, do you still have the nerve to ask me?" The matchmaker, Aunt Liu, obviously had the advantage of being able to preempt others and scolded Yan Jiecheng as soon as she came up. "Let me ask you, where have you been? Why are you here now? Girl, it's early." I’m so anxious to leave first!”
At this time, Yan Jiecheng, who was already late, was confused. He hesitated and said with a guilty conscience, "I... I'm just more than ten minutes late. It's not a big deal, right?"
"More than ten minutes! I even..." Aunt Liu, the matchmaker, almost blurted out angrily, saying that she had been squatting in the hut for half an hour. "Obviously I was half an hour late, but you said it was more than ten minutes. You are so embarrassing. People are disappointed.”
"Huh? Aunt Liu, even though I'm late first, I can't just let it go, right?"
"Hmph! I'll go to the girl's house tomorrow to ask what's going on." Seeing that she had gotten rid of this "blame", the matchmaker Aunt Liu did not continue to pester her.
"Thank you Aunt Liu."
"Well, don't be too happy too early. Maybe the girl is angry."
"Haha, with Aunt Liu here, there won't be any big problem."
Aunt Liu knew that Yu Li was a girl who grew up in the capital, and there was no way anything could go wrong. Seeing that it was already too late, she felt relieved and planned to go to Yu's house tomorrow to ask about the situation.
When Yan Bugui found out that Yan Jiecheng had not seen the girl, he was so angry that he really wanted to slap Yan Jiecheng to death. Fortunately, Yan Bugui was usually stingy and not as violent as the second uncle Liu Haizhong, otherwise Yan Jiecheng would definitely be bruised today.
"Yan Jiecheng, tell me what else you can be used for?"
"Dad, it's not my fault for what happened today. Who would have thought that the leader would suddenly arrange for us to rework." Yan Jiecheng looked very aggrieved.
"You loser, do you still have a reason? Being late is your fault in the first place, but you still make so many excuses. Wouldn't you let other workers help you?"
"Ah? Why didn't I think of that?" Yan Jiecheng was also full of annoyance.
"Hey! Why did I, Yan Bugui, give birth to such a useless snack like you?"
"Okay, Lao Yan!" A woman has always been a loving mother and a loser, and the third aunt soon felt sorry for her son. "The matchmaker will ask questions tomorrow and explain all the misunderstandings."
"Hmph! This girl is so angry, I think you shouldn't be too optimistic." Yan Bugui has seen a lot of right and wrong, and has long developed a pair of piercing eyes.
"Ah? It shouldn't be possible!" At this time, the third aunt and Yan Jiecheng were both a little silly.
…
Zhou Ming also has a lot of headaches about his future wife. There are many female characters in "Love in the Courtyard". After all, it needs to express the difficult situation of the male protagonist's blind date, so some outstanding female characters must be arranged.
Female characters like Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru, Lou Xiao'e, Yu Haitang, and Ran Qiuye all have their own shining points, but Qin Huairu only has her ex-husband's three children in her heart, and she has no fertility. More importantly, Zhou Ming hates being sucked. Life.
Qin Jingru is quite good, both in appearance and in keeping the family. However, she has an unscrupulous sister. It is difficult to ensure that Qin Huairu will not be involved, so Zhou Ming can only give up helplessly.
Lou Xiao'e is the only Bai Fumei in this drama. Apart from a failed marriage, it can be said that she is really perfect. However, her identity is destined to leave the capital soon, so she is not suitable for Zhou Ming.
Yu Haitang is a touted arrogant girl who doesn't know what's going on. It's impossible to really like someone. What she considers first is interests, so Zhou Ming is not willing to serve such a woman with "princess disease".
As for Ran Qiuye, she is amazing at first glance, but after a closer look, you will find that she also has obvious shortcomings. At first, she was a little pretentious and aloof, but later she became too worldly. And she must have a lot of spare tires. If the original owner does anything that dissatisfies her, she will was immediately abandoned.
As for the Yu Li I met today, although she didn't have many roles in the original drama, she was always real. Zhou Ming didn't mind having more contact with her, but this also required her to have this idea.
"System, if you arrange for me to go through the film and television world, will you get any benefits?" Zhou Ming, who was bored, suddenly wanted to talk about life with the system.
[Host, it is important for people to know themselves, and they also need to perform their duties. There is no need to consider things other than what you know. 】
"Hey! What you said seems to be very philosophical. Just say you have no comment!" Zhou Ming couldn't stand the long speech of the system and said sarcastically, "Your mother-in-law's explanation will make readers feel that they are in trouble. Word."
【snort! boring! 】
At this time, the Yu family also looked at Yu Li with unkind expressions, showing expressions of disappointment and pain, "Yu Li, how could you recognize the wrong person?
Fortunately, the other party still obeys the rules. What if you encounter a bad person? "
"Dad, Mom, He Yuzhu is really nice."
"Hmph! You just went to see a movie and gave you some melon seeds and peanuts, so you can tell it's good?"
"Dad, Mom, He Yuzhu's conditions are also very good. He has a house of 40 square meters. He is a regular employee of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, with a monthly salary of 37.5 yuan. He has no father or mother. He only has one sister who is already working. There is no burden at all.”
"Huh! It's nice to have no burdens, but there's no one to take care of your children, and no one to stand up for you." The elderly have particularly comprehensive thoughts, thinking about things that young people can't see.
"Dad, Mom, I have also heard of this He Yuzhu, he is very famous in our Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.
Because his cooking skills are very good, many factory leaders like his cooking skills very much. "Yu Li's sister Yu Haitang suddenly looked at her parents with a smile, and then said a shocking idea, "His sister He Yuyu and I are junior high school classmates. I know that He Yuyu will get married recently.
If you don't agree with my sister's relationship with He Yuzhu, I want to try to get in touch with him. "
"What? Don't you already have a boyfriend named Yang Weimin?"
"Hmph! How can Yang Weimin and He Yuzhu have the ability? He is just a second-generation ancestor who cannot hold up the wall. You must know that this is a world of workers."
"That's not okay! Your sister is not married yet, why are you panicking!"
"Dad, Mom, it's you who don't agree with my sister and He Yuzhu. Why can't I contact He Yuzhu?"
"this……"
"Haitang, please stop arguing with your parents!" Yu Li knew that her younger sister had always been willful, so she quickly stopped Yu Haitang from continuing to mess around, "Mom and dad, I still want to try with He Yuzhu."
Yu's father and mother, who originally strongly disagreed with He Yuzhu and Yu Li's relationship, started to loosen up a little after their youngest daughter Yu Haitang's mischief.
You must know that everyone has just passed through the difficulties of the 1960s, and still has lingering fears about the disaster. Even later generations still had the habit of saving food in the 1990s, so my father and mother also valued Zhou Ming's career.
"Yu Li, how about you get in touch with this He Yuzhu?"
"Thank you, parents!" Yu Li looked at her parents in surprise.
What girl is not pregnant? Zhou Ming is so clean and charming. Of course Yu Li is really moved. Seeing that her parents have agreed to her relationship with Zhou Ming, Yu Li is undoubtedly the most surprised.
But Yu Haitang, who unconsciously made a wave of "assists" on the side, became a little unhappy. After all, she really liked Zhou Ming, but she could only stick to her sister first, but she was vaguely expecting Yu Li and Zhou Ming to fail. .
