Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Lin Ping was a little embarrassed for a moment, not knowing how to ask the security guard about Nan Yi, so he took out his ID and said, "Comrade, I am Lin Ping, the deputy director of the Red Star Police Station. I want to ask you about Nan Yi."

The security guard immediately became curious and asked, "Comrade Director, has Nan Yi of our factory committed any crime?"

Lin Ping shook his head and threw a cigarette to the security guard, saying with a smile: "I came to ask about Nan Yi's cooking skills. I heard that his ancestors were imperial chefs, so I came to find out if it's true."

The security guard immediately realized that they might be looking for a cook, so he put his cigarette behind his ear and said with a smile, "You've found the right person. Our chef Nan's cooking skills are unmatched and he is famous in our factory."

Lin Ping asked, "If I ask him for help on Sunday, will he be available?"

The security guard smiled and said, "Why doesn't he have time? He can earn some extra money and get benefits by cooking. Why doesn't he have time?"

Lin Ping smiled and said, "I heard that he is dating Liang Ladi from your factory. I am just worried that he doesn't have time."

The security guard was startled when he heard this and said, "Who told you that? You can't say that nonsense. Besides, Master Nan would be crazy to fall in love with Liang Ladi, who has four children."

Lin Ping quickly said, "Yes, you can't say that nonsense. I also heard it from others. If that's the case, I'm relieved. I can just come to Master Nan when the time comes."

After leaving the machine repair shop, Lin Ping drove to Zhang the matchmaker's house.

Matchmaker Zhang knew that the Lin family was a wealthy family. When she saw Lin Ping coming, she smiled and greeted him, "Director Lin, are you here to see me?"

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang, shall we talk about this here?"

Matchmaker Zhang reacted and said, "Look at my brain. Director Lin, let's go inside and talk."

When they got to the house, Matchmaker Zhang drove the children out and asked, "What brings Director Lin here today?"

Lin Ping got straight to the point: "Aunt Zhang, this is it..."

After hearing this, matchmaker Zhang frowned. How could an unmarried chef possibly marry a widow with a child? So she said in embarrassment: "Director Lin, this is really difficult. I have to say something unpleasant. It's hard for girls to get married in this situation, let alone a widow. Aren't you making things difficult for me?"

Lin Ping also knew that this marriage was difficult to say, but as the saying goes, everything depends on human effort. Didn't Nan Yi end up marrying Liang Ladi, a widow? So he said, "Aunt Zhang, you know what my eldest sister looks like. If she didn't have a child, there would be many suitors. Nan Yi's background is not good, and my eldest sister is more than enough for him. Moreover, if this is successful, I can help him transfer back to the city to work, and my family also has a house, so he doesn't have to worry about anything."

After listening to Lin Ping's words, matchmaker Zhang felt that this was also true. She nodded and said, "You have no problem saying that. Who would want to stay in the suburbs if they can go back to the city? Okay, I agree to this, but I can't guarantee whether it will work in the end."

When Lin Ping heard that there was a way, he immediately added fuel to the fire: "Aunt Zhang, if you can make it happen, I will give you 50 kilograms of corn flour as a reward."

When matchmaker Zhang heard this, her eyes lit up. Fifty kilograms of corn flour was worth twenty-five yuan in Pigeon Market, and even if you wanted to buy it, there was nowhere to buy it. If she had these fifty kilograms of corn flour, her family wouldn't have to starve. So she gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, Director Lin. I will do my best to facilitate this marriage."

Lin Ping left Matchmaker Zhang's house with a smile. When Matchmaker Zhang saw Lin Ping leaving, she immediately took her luggage and went to the suburban machine repair factory. If she left now, she could still get back in the evening.

Machine repair shop.

Nan Yi came to the door and saw Zhang the matchmaker and asked curiously: "You are the one who is looking for me. What do you want from me?"

Matchmaker Zhang smiled and said, "I am a matchmaker. What do you think I want to talk to you about?"

Nan Yi frowned upon hearing this and said, "Matchmaker? I don't plan to go on a blind date. Nowadays, I can't even get enough to eat, so how can I get food to support my family? You should just go back."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave. Matchmaker Zhang was not willing to let Nan Yi leave so easily. This was a big issue concerning 50 kilograms of corn flour. She grabbed Nan Yi and said, "Young man, it's not too late for you to leave after I finish my words."

Nan Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Okay, then you talk, I'll listen."

Matchmaker Zhang then smiled and said, "That's right. Auntie told you that although the girl has a child, she is pretty..."

Before she finished speaking, Nan Yi interrupted her and said, "Auntie, you are talking about a divorced woman. You are using this as an excuse to criticize me. How can a young man like me marry a divorced woman? You should just leave."

Matchmaker Zhang knew that Nan Yi would react like this, so she threw out her trump card: "The girl has said that if it works out, she can help you transfer back to the city, and she also has a house, so you don't have to worry about anything. I'm an experienced person. You work in the suburbs, and it's not easy to find a wife, unless she's from the village. The girl is a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative. Where can you find such a good thing?"

Nan Yi's heart moved when he heard this. He had long wanted to transfer back to Sijiu City. He had long been tired of staying in this remote mountain area, but that could not be exchanged for selling his marriage.

Seeing Nan Yi's hesitation, Matchmaker Zhang quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "Why don't you meet each other first? Maybe you two are destined to be together."

Nan Yi was silent for a while before saying, "Okay, let's meet first."

In order to avoid any further complications, Matchmaker Zhang said directly, "Then let's make a deal. You come to Sijiucheng on Sunday and I'll take you to meet the girl. My home is at..."

After dealing with Nan Yi, matchmaker Zhang returned to Sijiu City with satisfaction. Whether it succeeded or not, she would wait for the meeting on Sunday.

After returning to Sijiu City, Matchmaker Zhang went to the courtyard first.

Yan Fugui was puzzled when he saw Zhang the matchmaker coming in. There was no man of marriageable age in the courtyard. Liu Guangtian was suitable, but he had already left the city. So he asked, "Matchmaker Zhang, who are you looking for in our courtyard?"

Matchmaker Zhang waved her hand and said, "You will know later." Then she hurried into the central courtyard.

Yan Fugui followed in and saw Matchmaker Zhang entering the west wing. He became even more confused and had no idea what Matchmaker Zhang wanted to do with Lin Ping.

Regardless of what Yan Fugui and the people in the courtyard thought, Lin Ping gave Matchmaker Zhang a big apple after hearing the news, which made Matchmaker Zhang very happy. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll bring someone over on Sunday. Do you think we should bring them to the back room or here?"

Lin Ping thought it would be more convenient to take her here. Even if the blind date fails, it won't affect her elder sister. So he smiled and said, "Just take her here. By the way, Aunt Zhang, you must not tell anyone about this. Even if it doesn't work out, it won't affect my elder sister. You also know what kind of monsters and demons there are in our courtyard."

Matchmaker Zhang nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Yan Fugui just asked me about it, but I didn't tell him a word."

After sending Matchmaker Zhang away, Lin Qingyan asked, "Brother Pingzi, since you have the news, why don't you go tell our mother?"

Lin Ping smiled and took Nuonuo from Lin Qingya's arms and kissed her, making the little girl babble. Then he looked at Lin Qingyan and said, "It's not off work yet. I'll go over when my sister and sister-in-law get off work, so I don't have to say it twice."

Lin Yun and Li Jing had not returned yet, but Cai Quanwu came to the house and told Lin Ping directly that he wanted 200 kilograms of flour, and then left. No matter how Lin Ping tried to keep him, he refused to do so and said that he was worried about Xiumei being alone at home.

Looking at Cai Quanwu's leaving back, Lin Qingya smiled and said, "Auntie really married the right person."

After dinner in the evening, Lin Ping carried his daughter to the back room and said to Lin Yun who was eating, "Sister, that guy is coming to our house for a blind date on Sunday, you have to be prepared."

Wang Xiuzhi hugged Nuonuo and said, "Oh, my eldest granddaughter, please let grandma have a blind date."

Then he looked at Lin Yun and said, "Didn't you listen to your brother? Clean it up for me on Sunday. Whether it succeeds or not, you can't leave a bad impression on others."

Lin Shanhai felt the most guilty and cared the most for this daughter who had been separated from him since childhood. He looked at his daughter who did not look old and said, "Yun'er, just look at it. If you are not satisfied, your parents will not force you. You live your life on your own. Don't wrong yourself for your parents."

Lin Yun listened to Lin Shanhai's caring words, her eyes reddened and she said, "Dad, I know."

Li Jing said with her belly sticking out: "Sister, this is a happy thing, why is it so sentimental?"

Lin Yun burst into tears and laughed when she heard this: "How could I have that?"

Lin Qing ran to Lin Yun and said, "Mom, you must be happy."

Lin Yun's eyes reddened again when she saw this. She was very pleased that her daughter was so sensible. She secretly vowed that if the man could not accept Niuniu, she would never marry and would stay with Niuniu all her life. So she held her daughter in her arms and whispered, "Well, Niuniu and mom will live happily."

Lin Qing has had a rough life since childhood. She was precocious and knew that her mother had a hard time. When she was still blind, her mother would always feed her first. During that time, her mother used her boundless maternal love to warm her confused and young heart, so she sincerely hoped that her mother would be happy.

The whole family looked at the mother and daughter hugging each other, and for some reason they felt sad. Wang Xiuzhi couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Pingzi, is Nan Yi reliable?"

Lin Ping nodded and said, "He should be reliable, but we also need to observe and see if he likes our eldest sister. If he lacks one of these, it means he is not meant for our family."

Lin Shanhai nodded and said, "The most important thing is that your eldest sister likes it. I don't believe that with so many people in our family, we can't protect Yun'er."

Back at the west wing, Lin Ping handed Nuonuo to Lin Qingya and said, "I'm going to go out and deliver food to my uncle-in-law. I'll be back soon."

Zhengyangmen Courtyard.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Cai Quanwu knocked on Xu Huizhen's door.

Xu Huizhen opened the gate and saw Cai Quanwu. She asked, "Quanwu, is it the food that has arrived?"

Cai Quanwu pointed at the four bags of flour on the cart and said, "Madam, there are exactly 200 kilograms. Please weigh them."

Xu Huizhen shook her head and smiled, "How can I not trust you when you say that? Move the food into the yard first, so that no one sees and causes trouble."

Cai Quanwu nodded and moved four bags of flour into the yard.

Xu Huizhen came in and took out 800 yuan and said, "Nothing, we agreed to double it, two yuan per pound, double it to four yuan, a total of 800 yuan, you take it."

Cai Quanwu waved his hand and said, "They said, I'll charge you 400 yuan based on the market price of pigeons." After that, he counted out four hundred yuan and gave it back to Xu Huizhen.
