When I got home, Wenli had already finished get off work. The elementary school was the first place where she finished work.

Wen Li opened the door for He Yuzhu and saw something on the back seat and asked, "Is it cloth?"

"That's right, let's talk inside and don't let anyone see us.

"He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle in and Wen Li closed the door.

After entering the yard, Wen Li quickly uncovered the cloth and found five pieces. She was surprised and said, "So many!"

"It's enough for a while, take it in!" said He Yuzhu.

Wen Li nodded and packed two horses. After He Yuzhu parked the car, he followed him into the house carrying the remaining three horses.

When the eldest and second sisters came, they were also surprised at the amount of fabrics. Then they touched them happily and confirmed that they were good fabrics.

"Zhu Zi, you are really capable, you got so much in one go.

" Second sister Wenhui praised.

Wen's mother reminded: "Don't talk nonsense, just make clothes for the child.

You and your elder sister can each take one home, and leave the rest at home and come back to get them when needed.

“I know, mom.

" Wenhui agreed without hesitation.

He Yuzhu was not worried that they would tell others because there were receipts for the purchases, except that these receipts were from 1955.

Although it might be surprising, the source was fine, so he had no worries about investigating.

However, his behavior is indeed puzzling.

It is right to keep a low profile, but if it is really investigated, there will definitely be no problem.

At this time, Nan Yi had already returned home and was cooking, when his third uncle Yan Bugui came uninvited.

"Nan Yi, are you cooking?" Yan Bugui walked in with a smile, his hands empty. He had no intention of taking the half bottle of inferior homemade wine at home. He diluted that wine with water, which not only tasted bad but also caused diarrhea.

"Oh, you're here, please come in and have a seat, I'll be right there.

"Nan Yi quickly invited Yan Bugui into the house.

"Okay, you do your thing, I'll go in by myself.

"Yan Bugui sat down with his hands behind his back and noticed that there were cold dishes on the table, but he did not pick up his chopsticks.

Nan Yi worked quickly and cooked two more dishes, which were more than enough for three people.

Then, he took out a bottle of Xifeng Liquor and said, "Uncle, let's drink this today.

"Xifeng, good wine!" Yan Bugui rubbed his hands. After Nan Yi poured him a glass of wine, he said, "Nan Yi, Third Master is not greedy for your wine, but this wine should have been bought by you.

"Is there such a rule?" Nan Yi was a little surprised. After listening to Xu Damao's story yesterday, he thought that the third uncle was just taking advantage of something small.

"Of course!" Yan Bugui raised his glass, "Let's drink first, and then Third Uncle will tell you in detail.

"Okay, I'll give you a drink.

“After they clinked their glasses, they drank it all in one gulp.

"Heh~" Yan Bugui exhaled a breath of wine with satisfaction, put down the cup, picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food, "Well, it tastes good.

He turned to Nan Yi and said, "First of all, the front yard is under my management, including the back house in front. Third uncle will take you to meet these neighbors today. Do you think you should pay for the banquet?"

"Of course!" Nan Yi nodded and filled the Third Master's glass again, "I'll toast you another glass.

"Okay!" Yan Bugui clinked his glasses, drank them all, and then said, "The second thing is a big thing.

The last time you hosted us, I asked about your family situation.

"Now that you are alone, Uncle Three cares about you and wants to introduce you to someone.

"Oh, Third Uncle, are you serious?" Nan Yi was extremely surprised when he heard this.

"Otherwise, can the Third Uncle have a free meal?" Yan Bugui said with a smile.

"Then I have to thank you very much, I will toast you another glass.

"Nan Yi quickly poured wine for Yan Bugui. He was already in his twenties, but his circumstances were not good and he was still unmarried.

After arriving at the steel plant and experiencing a new environment, his cook rank was promoted and he had his own residence. He could no longer ignore the issue of marriage.

The two drank the third cup, and Yan Bugui began to eat, "Let's drink this wine later, don't let my uncle get drunk now.

"Yes, yes, yes, you eat first!" Nan Yi hurriedly picked up some food for Yan Bugui, "How about the girl you introduced to me?"

"How is it?" Yan Bugui said proudly, "Have you seen He Yuzhu's wife?"

"You introduced it!"

Nan Yi recalled Wen Li and nodded, "Would you like to introduce another teacher to me?"

"Yes, he just came to our school, and his age is suitable for you, also in his twenties.

"Yan Bugui explained.

Nan Yi frowned slightly after hearing this and asked, "How can a girl this old not be married?"

"Hey~ What are you thinking about?" Yan Bugui looked at Nan Yi jokingly, and Nan Yi blushed, "Do you think the person introduced by the Third Master is unreliable?"

"This girl has excellent conditions. She is a returnee from overseas. Both her parents are middle school teachers. She graduated from a normal university and was assigned to our primary school after graduation.

"Yan Bugui continued to introduce," Not only is she knowledgeable, she is also beautiful and has an outstanding temperament.

"Nan Yi, now it's not about whether you can like someone, but whether they are willing to like you!"

Nan Yi understood that the conditions were indeed very good, and her marriage was not affected by her studies, so the problem was not with her.

“I mainly saw your conversation and thought you were cultured, so I considered introducing him to you.

Nan Yi smiled and said, “Thank you, Third Uncle. I’m willing to treat you to ten meals, not just one.

I wonder when we can meet?"

"Well, how about this Sunday?" Yan Bugui suggested, "I will ask her to come over in the morning, and you can prepare and show off your cooking skills at noon.

"You two can chat alone in the morning, and I'll be your companion at noon. Is that ok?"

“No need, just decide it like this.

"Nan Yi was a little excited. This girl's qualifications are indeed excellent. "I will prepare seriously and will never embarrass your uncle.

“Hey, kid.

"Yan Bugui looked at Nan Yi and was secretly happy. If this marriage went through, their family's life would be more affluent.

"By the way, are you taking private jobs now?" Yan Bugui thought for a moment and asked.

Nan Yi shook his head and replied: "There is no rush for this, I have to pass on my skills first.

"Master He has tasted my cooking, so I can quote a price of three dollars per table.

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Three dollars? For a table?"

“That’s right, but there’s no rush for success now. Word of mouth needs to be accumulated slowly, and customers will naturally come to you in time.

"Nan Yi smiled and nodded," It's mainly because of the price range. The cooking skills of the chefs in the factory canteens vary greatly, and the price is generally between 50 cents and 2 yuan.

“Only a few veterans can charge two dollars.

"Some mid-level workers, who earn 50 or 60 yuan a month, have the financial ability to invite me, and they are the backbone of the factory, so they should be able to afford such a banquet.

“However, there is a shortage of supplies at the moment, and the situation will improve after a while.

"Well, that makes sense.

I can mention this to the female teacher.

"Yan Bugui smiled, feeling very satisfied. Nan Yi's ability seemed good, but he was still not as good as He Yuzhu's.

"Excuse me, uncle. I'll toast you another glass.

"Nan Yi quickly poured wine for Yan Bugui. He didn't expect that such a good thing would happen on the third day after he moved in.

My heart is full of joy!

They had a very enjoyable meal and Yan Bugui even packed up the remaining food when he left.

After returning home, he lay directly on the bed, humming a little tune.

...

The next day, after Yan Bugui arrived at school, he attended class first. When it was lunch time, he began to look for his target.

"Are you Teacher Ran Qiuye?" After finding the target, he walked over with his lunch box, "I am Yan Bugui, who teaches Chinese.

"Hello, Teacher Yan, is there anything I can help you with?" Ran Qiuye stood up quickly. After all, the other party was not young, so basic courtesy was still required.

“Let’s sit down and talk.

"Yan Bugui sat down and said, "I see you have been here for a few months. Have you adapted to the work at the school?"

"Adapt..." Ran Qiuye was not clear about Yan Bugui's intention, so his answer was concise.

"Well... I came to see you today because I want to introduce you to someone.

"Yan Bugui stated his purpose directly.

"Partner?" Ran Qiuye was stunned. She was already in her twenties and was indeed of marriageable age in China.

"Yes, he is a young man from our compound, also in his twenties, who works at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, is the squad leader of the canteen, and is also an eighth-level cook.

"Yan Bugui continued: "Although he is just a chef, he has a very cultural background.

“His family used to run a restaurant, so he is well-educated and has a pretty good cultural background.

"He is the only one left at home now. He used to work in a machine repair factory, but was later spotted by the leader of the steel mill and transferred there.

Yan Bugui finished explaining Nan Yi's conditions in one breath. Ran Qiuye did not mean to discriminate. After all, she was a returnee from overseas. Although her family members were all intellectuals, she was a kind person and had no prejudice against professions.

Yan Bugui continued: "The young man was quite tall and had fair skin. He was assigned a small room when he first entered the factory. Although it was small, it was his own home.

"Would you consider meeting?"

Ran Qiuye thought about it and decided that if the other party was indeed educated, then it might not be a bad idea to meet him.

"Okay, let's meet!" she said with a smile.

Yan Bugui patted his thigh proudly and said, "It's settled. You guys who have returned from outside are really generous.

"This Sunday morning, I will pick you up from school, and you can have a good chat. At noon, I will let him demonstrate his cooking skills, and you can rest assured that I will be with you.

he suggested.

Ran Qiuye expressed his gratitude politely: "Thank you very much.

Yan Bugui didn't expect that things would go so smoothly and Ran Qiuye actually agreed.

After all, Ran Qiuye has been in school all the time and is not considered young in that era. Most of the people around her are married, and most of the unmarried ones are younger than her.

It was not easy to find a suitable partner, so she readily agreed and career issues were not important to her.

After confirming the time, Yan Bugui happily took the lunch box and left.

After returning home in the evening, Nan Yi learned about this matter after Nan Yi got off work, so he immediately told him and once again introduced Ran Qiuye's name, age and other information in detail.

Remind Nan Yi to be fully prepared.

Nan Yi was thinking about how to attract Ran Qiuye. After all, she was a college student who had returned from abroad. Although he was also well-educated, he might not be outstanding.

He found the precious phonograph, a small English record player that was very rare in the country, but he only had one record.

This is his favorite and he has always kept it carefully.

Play the record, tune the strings with the crank, and a beautiful melody will sound.

Nan Yi listened quietly until the end of the song, and he said softly: "Old friend, it depends on you.

Then he put the phonograph on the chest of drawers, looked around, nodded with satisfaction, went into the bedroom and pulled out a box.

He opened the box and found some antiques inside. He carefully selected them, took out a painting and two vases, and began to arrange them carefully.

After a busy period, the arrangement was finally completed. Nan Yi examined it carefully again to make sure nothing was missing.

However, he suddenly realized that he didn't have a bicycle yet!

If the relationship progresses, how can we live without bicycles? Now the price of a bicycle is more than 100 yuan, and you have to buy a bicycle ticket, and the bicycle ticket can only be bought in Pigeon City.

However, the money he had...

If I buy a bicycle, there won’t be much money left, and I have to wait until next month for my salary.

Nan Yi thought, “It looks like I need to sell some more things.

He decided to talk to He Yuzhu again to see if he could get some high-quality ingredients so that he could fully utilize his cooking skills. He also needed to supplement the seasonings since he didn't have all of them at home.

In this regard, He Yuzhu undoubtedly has more advantages.

After finalizing the plan, Nan Yi began to prepare dinner. After all, He Yuzhu's family didn't usually live here, so he decided to go to their workplace to find them the next day.

The next day, Nan Yi came to the steel rolling mill and finished his work first. After avoiding the peak period at noon, he arranged the cleaning matters and then turned to a canteen.

Pushing aside the door curtain, he saw He Yuzhu sitting in his seat sipping tea as usual.

"Master He!" he shouted.

"Oh, Master Nan!" He Yuzhu could tell at a glance that Nan Yi had something to talk to him about, so he stood up to greet him.

The two walked out of the cafeteria. He Yuzhu lit a cigarette and asked, "Master Nan, what can I do for you?"

“Yes, I want to sell you one more thing.

"Nan Yi replied.

Although He Yuzhu was no longer excited, he was still very enthusiastic towards the guests, "Okay, is it still 200 yuan?"

“Yes, and besides, I’m going on a blind date this Sunday and I need some high-quality ingredients and seasonings.

"Nan Yi added.

He Yuzhu was stunned when he heard this, "Blind date?"

“Yes, it was introduced by Third Master. He is a new intern teacher in our school.

"Nan Yi's face was full of smiles, obviously in a good mood," Let's meet on Sunday morning. I will cook for lunch myself, and the Third Master will also be there.

He Yuzhu understood that Yan Bugui was so active in helping Nan Yi find a partner because he probably wanted to gain some benefits from it and planned to repeat what he did last time.

However, can Yi Zhonghai succeed?

Yi Zhonghai has always liked to act silently and plan slowly, but San Ye's actions were too quick, and Yi Zhonghai may not be aware of it yet.

"That's great!" He Yuzhu nodded, "I can get a lot of things. Some of the ingredients in the factory are purchased by me, specially prepared for special occasions.

"If you need, I can give you a list and see what you need.

“Great, give me the list and I’ll tell you exactly what I want tomorrow, and you mark the price clearly.
