Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

Facing Liu Lan's sarcasm, Sha Zhu ignored her. Instead, he patted Li Weijun's shoulder with a shy look and smiled in a somewhat obscene manner.

"Brother Weijun, I, your brother, am completely dependent on you for this life event. If you really get married with Yu Li, you will be the great benefactor of our He family. When the time comes, you can have a seat at the buffet!"

"If it doesn't work out, it only means that we are not meant to be together. I will go find the person that Third Uncle introduced to me. When the time comes, I will trouble you to get me a ticket to the cinema. The money issue can be easily dealt with."

Seeing that this guy seemed to be enjoying himself, Li Weijun couldn't say anything discouraging, so he just shook his head and smiled: "Okay, it's just a movie ticket. I come to the cafeteria kitchen every day to take a shortcut. It's my duty, my duty."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Weijun seemed to have thought of something, and glanced at the smiling Sha Zhu with a strange expression: "Sha Zhu, you just said that the third uncle introduced you to a girl?"

"Yeah? It was last night. He said there was a female teacher at Hongxing Primary School who was pretty and kind-hearted. She said she would be my matchmaker if she had the chance. I even fried the bacon I had hidden at home and bought a bottle of Lao Baigan to honor her."

Sha Zhu, who was still in the dark, didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and scratched his head: "If you ask me, this is a serious matter. How can a rough guy like me sleep on the same kang with an educated person?"

"The female teacher that the Third Master introduced, could her surname be Ran?"

"Yes, yes, yes! His last name is Ran. I've even seen his photo. He's very pretty, with big eyes. If this is going to work out, I'll have to hire a troupe of actors to perform some operas for the wedding."

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he finally realized what was going on: "No, Li Weijun, how do you know that the female teacher's last name is Ran?"

"Nothing, I just guessed. Very good, very good. Hello, teacher!"

Li Weijun sighed, silently feeling that the Third Uncle was worthy of being the Third Uncle. When it came to scheming, he was really an expert at it.

No matter whether he and Ran Qiuye can succeed, he will not lose out. As for whether to help Sha Zhu to make a connection, that depends entirely on other people's mood.

After packing his lunch, Li Weijun rode his bicycle to the black market on Qianmen Street.

In a remote corner, I found the dealer I contacted a few days ago.

Before, Li Weijun told the dealer that if he came across a big crucian carp, he should keep it for himself and cook some thick crucian carp soup to help Qin Huairu with her lactation.

These days, Li Wei's soldiers have to eat horse biscuits, and on top of that they have to supply small locust flowers, so the granary is really empty.

For this purpose, Li Weijun specially left the specific address to the dealer, but after waiting for a few days, there was no news of delivery.

"Comrade, I live in Nanluoguxiang. What about crucian carp?"

The merchant, who was originally listless and drowsy, saw Li Weijun coming on a bicycle. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly remembered the business.

His face turned red, and he rubbed his hands apologetically and said, "Well, comrade, there is really no stock these days. I don't know who is unlucky. When we were purchasing food in Tongzi River, several nearby communes were unwilling to sell us some rare things at a discount. They all waited for the buyers to buy them all. It was really difficult."

"Near Tongzi River?"

Li Weijun suddenly realized that the several communes that had previously shown movies in the countryside, Qinjia Village, Zhaojia Village, and Guantou Village, all seemed to be not far from Tongzi River.

Could it be that during the days I was away, Song Gongming, the military strategist, really made this procurement system that I roughly planned come to life?

Thinking of this, Li Weijun felt that he had to go to the countryside to investigate the situation tomorrow.

Whether it is sending Qin Huairu back to her parents' home or going to the purchasing point, it has to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

With the thought that he was here anyway, Li Weijun bought some Iraqi candied dates and some hawthorn fruit peels on the black market, and then went to the community clinic to pick up some antipyretic drugs.

After a whole morning, it was still unclear whether Qin Huairu's fever had subsided.

It's strange to say, for someone like her who doesn't usually get sick, it's really hard to recover from a sudden illness. It's not uncommon for her to be unable to get out of bed for two or three days.

On the contrary, those who suffer from minor illnesses frequently, often suffer from back pain, take medicine frequently, and receive intravenous drips have a longer life expectancy.

When Li Weijun returned to the courtyard, the third uncle who had been pacing at the door of his house came forward with a smile like a cat smelling blood, "Weijun, I knew you were capable. I don't know what kind of magic potion you took, but you have bewitched our teacher Ran. She has taken a liking to you and asked me to ask her this morning if you have time to go boating in Beihai Park."

Li Weijun nodded and smiled. In order to prevent Qin Huairu in the room from hearing the noise and causing trouble, he pulled the third uncle to the archway of the central courtyard.

"Uncle, thank you for your concern. I know my limits. Please tell me that we can talk about boating in the park in a few days. I have to go to the countryside to do some shopping in the next few days, so I really can't spare the time."

"Purchasing? Work is important, work is important. Don't worry, Weijun. Good things take time. Good wine needs no bush. Teacher Ran can wait."

After Yan Bugui finished speaking cheerfully, he did not leave but kept chatting with Li Weijun about this and that.

After hesitating for a while, Li Weijun knew that the third uncle wanted to ask for benefits, but he was too embarrassed to break the window paper.

Li Weijun was very wealthy in terms of supplies, food, and even money, but he had just given the third uncle a big grass carp last night, and now he turned around and asked for more benefits.

This is not the way to be a sucker. Do you really think you are a fool?

Immediately, he frowned and said, "Uncle, isn't the big grass carp I hung on your eaves this morning enough to eat?"

"What big grass carp? Why haven't I seen any..."

"It was a big grass carp weighing 5 kilograms that I caught at Beihai Park a few days ago. It was hanging under the eaves of the house opposite yours. Didn't you see it when you got up early?"

Uncle Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, clapped his hands, and exclaimed: "Oh no, this must be a thief. I was wondering why there was a straw rope at the door when I got up this morning. I was wondering, the fish on the rope is gone!"

This is a big grass carp weighing more than five kilograms!

It weighs five kilograms!

If you pickle it with salt, and eat a piece of it with chopsticks before meals and eat it with pickles, the whole family can eat it for more than half a year.

When Li Weijun saw the third uncle startled, he realized that a thief had taken advantage of the third uncle.

In the entire courtyard, people who bought vegetables and carried food had to pass through the front yard. Whose family had not had some vegetable leaves, white radishes, etc. snatched away by the third uncle?

To put it bluntly, every time a manure cart passed by his door, Yan Bugui had to taste the saltiness of the food.

Today, someone actually offended me by stealing things without any eyes.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about this thief. Don't get angry. It'll make you sick. I'll get you a fish from the tank when I get back to the house. It might be lighter."

Yan Bugui waved his hand in a very principled manner: "That won't do. Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao. How can I receive two copies? It's against the rules, it's against the rules."
