Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"Just go home and talk about it today."

"Take a leave tomorrow, buy some things in the morning and go directly to Ma Suqin's house to propose marriage."

Xu Fugui nodded, then turned to look at Ma Suqin: "By the way, father-in-law and mother-in-law, do you have any preferences?"

"For example, what kind of alcohol your father likes to drink, what kind of cigarettes he likes to smoke, etc."

"And your mother, what does she like to eat?"

In Xu Fugui's opinion, as long as the purchase touches the other person's heart, the matter is half done.

The main reason is that Ma Suqin is also a senior fitter, so Xu Damao's deputy director of the Propaganda Department is not that outstanding.

The salary they earn may not necessarily be less than Xu Damao.

"Ah, that, I didn't notice it either. Maybe he likes Taiwan and Zhonghua cigarettes."

"As for my mom, she probably prefers the tin box of biscuits, apples, bananas, etc."

"I don't know anything else."

"I'll tell them when I get home tonight that you'll buy these things and go see them."

Ma Suqin suddenly had an idea and listed the things she thought were better but more difficult to buy.

(I'll see how you buy these in one night.)

Ma Suqin's words made Xu Fugui, Xu Damao and Yi Bufan stunned.

Yi Bufan looked at what Ma Suqin was thinking and felt that this girl was not stupid.

Xu Damao gave Ma Suqin a thumbs up.

"Dad, these things don't seem to be easy to buy at the supply and marketing cooperative. How about we do it another day?"

Xu Damao naturally supported Ma Suqin's statement, which at least could delay the matter for a while.

"Do your parents like these things?"

Xu Fugui smacked his lips a few times.

I regret asking that question.

When this question was asked, Ma Suqin said the same thing again.

I would feel embarrassed to come here if I couldn’t buy these things.

Otherwise, this first meeting would be extremely embarrassing.

Moreover, I think everyone would like these things, even him.

Not only is it expensive, but the goods are also scarce.

“Yeah, I just like these.”

"Before, when the matchmaker introduced me to someone, one of them brought these things with him."

"My parents agreed, but I don't like that person, so I won't go along with it."

"In the end, they complained about me for a long time, saying that I was unfilial!"

Ma Suqin said this with a solemn oath.

Yi Bufan turned and looked at Ma Suqin.

(Who would give these things to a date? I just made it up. Anyway, it’s OK if I can’t go tomorrow. Xu Damao can take care of the rest by himself. Anyway, the five dollars for help is only valid for me to go back with him tonight.)

In fact, Ma Suqin just wanted Xu Fugui to give up.

“These things are really hard to buy.”

"Xiao Ran's supply and marketing cooperative brought in a batch of goods a while ago, and people lined up to buy them all in half an hour."

Yi Bufan also casually interjected.

"Yeah, do you think your parents have anything else they like?"

“Many of these things cannot be bought even with money.”

It’s not that Xu Fugui doesn’t have the money, but he mainly needs the tickets.

After having all these, people still need to have things to sell.

Just like those fruit tickets, not just anyone can have them.

"Something else!"

"It doesn't seem to be anything special. Just like everyone else, it's just some normal food and drink."

Ma Suqin's implication is very clear. It's not a good idea for you to give those away.

What's more, you said it yourself.

"That's all I'll give you. Since my father-in-law and mother-in-law like it, there's nothing I can say."

Xu Damao made the decision immediately and Xu Fugui even glanced at him.

"Then I'll go to your house to propose marriage some other day, and I'll let Damao notify you then."

Xu Fugui had no choice. It would be better for him to just pay for these things.

But now that the words have been spoken, what should I do?

"Okay, I'll go back today."

"Otherwise it will be too late."

Ma Suqin was filled with joy, just waiting for these words.

"Okay, let Damao take you there!"

Xu Fugui said with a smile.

"Go, I'll see you off!"

Xu Damao went to open the door immediately, and seemed really impatient.

Ma Suqin naturally went out immediately.

It’s not easy to earn these five dollars.

"Some other time..."

Xu Damao and Ma Suqin dealt with many neighbors along the way. He turned around to talk to Ma Suqin when they went out, but he was still interrupted by Ma Suqin.

"There's no other day. This is the first and last time."

"Otherwise I won't be able to get married in the future."

Ma Suqin regretted agreeing to Xu Damao's request.

"No, how am I going to explain it next time?"

Xu Damao's plan, at least, has a beginning and an end.

"I've already told your father that. You have plenty of time to come up with a plan."

"Why don't you just tell your dad that we broke up?"

"If it really doesn't work, why don't you just find a daughter-in-law for your father?"

"As the deputy director of the Propaganda Department, are you worried about not being able to find a wife to marry?"

Ma Suqin curled her lips.

I don’t have to worry about finding a man to marry now.

However, the Xu Damao in front of her was not her favorite.

"It's not that I can't find him, it's that I'm thinking about him."

"There's nothing we can do about it right now."

"Ten dollars. I'll give you ten dollars next time. Just help me make it up."

Xu Damao also wanted to say directly that they had broken up, but he was afraid that Xu Fugui would suspect him.

After all, they are father and son, and some of their tricks are those that Xu Fugui has used before.

"ten bucks?"

"Let's talk about it next time. I'm leaving now."

Ma Suqin really wanted to earn these ten dollars; it was too easy.

Anyway, it was Xu Damao who lied, not me.

"Okay, then be careful on the road."

Xu Damao lit a cigarette and watched Ma Suqin walk away.

I was thinking about how to make it more difficult to buy the things that Ma Suqin just mentioned.

We have to find a reasonable way to make Xu Fugui give up the idea of ​​proposing marriage in a hurry.

......

"Bufan, do you think Damao can succeed with Ma Suqin?"

When Yi Bufan was about to leave, he was stopped by Xu Fugui.

"It can be done, why not?"

Yi Bufan answered casually.

"Tell me, is it possible that Damao deliberately found someone to perform this for me?"

Xu Fugui’s words surprised Yi Bufan.

So, this old guy knows everything?

"Act?"

"Can't you?"

Yi Bufan looked like he wanted to hear more details.

"If you really want to be together, and you've brought her home, I'll definitely support you proposing marriage right away."

"Besides, no one would ask for those things on their own initiative."

"What about tin box biscuits, apples and bananas? Those were things that Damao's mother could only see at Lou's house before."

"It's impossible for ordinary people to eat those."

"There are also things like Taiwan and Zhonghua. Are these cigarettes and alcohol that ordinary people can have?"

Xu Fugui is not so easy to fool.
