Siheyuan: I am Yi Zhonghai's biological son

Yi Zhonghai was happy to hear that his son had someone to take care of him.

"That's good. Someone will take care of you. Dad is relieved. By the way, Ping An, our factory secretary Chen has been transferred to the ministry as deputy director, in charge of technical production. Before he left, he came to me and said that if you come back and haven't solved your personal problems, he wants to be a matchmaker for you."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he looked at Yi Ping'an. His son is already 25 years old. Other people who got married early have children running around at this age, but he has no wife yet.

"Secretary Chen wants to be a matchmaker for me?" Yi Ping'an was puzzled. Why would Secretary Chen think of being a matchmaker for him? But Secretary Chen was really good to him. He had been taking good care of them for so many years. Now that he was back, he should go and see her. He was indeed not young anymore and it was time for him to get married.

"Yeah, I'm also very puzzled. I asked Wei Zhonghua about it. Secretary Chen has no daughter, only four sons, all of whom are older than you. I guess he introduced her to someone else's daughter. Do you want to go and meet her?" Yi Zhonghai said

"I understand, Dad. Let's go tomorrow. I'll go to the Ministry of Industry to see him. It's been ten years, and he has been very good to me." Yi Ping'an said with emotion. Time flies so fast.

Yi Zhonghai laughed happily when he heard his son's words. Is his son finally going to get married? As for the failure, that's impossible. The leader will definitely not introduce a bad person, and the political review is no problem. How can it not work out?

Yi Ping'an had a meal with his family. As the family chatted together, Wang Kaixuan was like an invisible man. If you didn't talk to him, he wouldn't make a sound. At first, Yi Zhonghai and his wife were a little uncomfortable with this.

With such a big person around, I have to take care of him, otherwise it would be very impolite. After interacting with him for a while, I found that he really doesn't like to talk, so let it go to avoid making everyone uncomfortable.

At night, Yi Ping'an and Wang Kaixuan lived in the cross-yard and lit a coal stove, otherwise they would have frozen to death. As for the heating, Auntie would definitely turn it on tomorrow.

The next morning, Yi Ping'an went directly to the Ministry of Industry. It was then that the people in the factory knew that Yi Ping'an had returned and had been given a car? That meant he was at the same level as the factory director. He had been promoted again.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Industry and met the current Vice Minister Chen, Yi Ping'an felt very cordial. This man had really cared for him over the past ten years. From housing to subsidies, he was almost on par with him.

"Leader, long time no see, congratulations."

"Hahaha, Yi Gong, you're back? Long time no see, come and sit down." Deputy Minister Chen was even happier to see Yi Ping'an. It could be said that Yi Ping'an was simply his benefactor.

Over the past ten years, his rank has been rising again and again, all thanks to this little guy. It was worth it that he had used all kinds of conspiracies and plots to keep him here ten years ago. Not to mention others, even Li Datou's eyes when he looks at him now make him want to eat him.

"Mr. Yi, I'm so happy that you can come to see me. To be honest, I don't have a daughter, otherwise I would definitely snatch you away to be my son-in-law, hahaha." Secretary Chen was really happy, and of course what he said was true. Their Chen family is rich in men and weak in women, so they don't have that destiny.

"You're joking. It's not as good as you say." Yi Ping'an was a little embarrassed. Was he trying to find a son-in-law from the list?

"By the way, Mr. Yi, have you solved your personal problems?" asked Deputy Minister Chen.

"Uh... not yet." Yi Ping'an was a little speechless. This year is his zodiac year, and he is 25 years old. At this age in his previous life, he was still working hard to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. In this life, he is already an older bachelor.

"Yi Gong, I have talked to your father before, and I believe he has told you about it. I want to be a matchmaker for you. You should listen to the other party's situation first and then make a decision.

This girl is the orphan of an old comrade of mine. Her father and I were comrades in the same class. He was forced into a desperate situation by the landlords, so he took his two younger brothers to join the revolution.

The eldest brother died during the Long March, he himself died during the Anti-Japanese War, and the youngest brother died during the Korean Peninsula War.

The girl's mother was also a martyr. After giving birth to her, she was sent to carry out an underground mission. After being exposed, in order not to implicate her comrades, she died together with the enemy. It can be said that this girl has no other relatives except us uncles.

After liberation, she went to Northeast China with her uncle. After her uncle died in 53, she was raised by the organization. We, the comrades, would also take care of her from time to time.

She was born in 43, a few years younger than you. She passed the entrance exam for the Medical and Nursing Technical School in Sijiucheng a few years ago and is a nurse. She stayed in Sijiucheng after graduating last year. Without boasting, she is very smart and beautiful, and she is a good match for you.

Yi Gong, do you want to meet him?" After saying this, Deputy Minister Chen looked at Yi Ping'an.

When Yi Ping'an was listening to what Deputy Minister Chen said, he was thinking, this life experience is really tragic, four of the five people in the family were martyrs, four years younger than him, and a medical worker, just take a look.

"Boss, I'll follow your arrangements. I'll only be available during the two days of the New Year. I can't guarantee the rest of the time. Also, you need to tell her about my situation. I may not be able to take care of the family. If she has concerns, forget it."

Yi Ping'an felt that since they were meeting each other, he should tell the other person everything he could. It would be inappropriate to hide things.

"Hahaha, don't worry, she has been taking care of herself since she was young, so there will be no problem for her to take care of the family. How about this, come to my house for dinner tonight, and I'll ask my niece to come so you can meet her."

When Deputy Minister Chen heard that Yi Ping'an agreed, he was very happy. He didn't know how far Yi Ping'an could go, but it would definitely not be an ordinary height.

"Okay, I'll follow the leader's arrangements." Since Yi Ping'an has agreed, he won't procrastinate. He doesn't have much time to begin with, and blind dates in this era are all about cutting the Gordian knot, so there's nothing to be entangled about.

I went home at noon and told an aunt that I was going to have dinner at my boss's house and have a blind date. She also told me,

"Mom, we are still very uncertain about this, don't tell anyone in the hospital yet."

"Don't worry, I know." The aunt said happily.

When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, Yi Ping'an took some specially supplied cigarettes and alcohol and went to the Ministry of Industry, waiting to go to Vice Minister Chen's home with him.

Chen Family

Deputy Minister Chen lives in the Ministry of Industry’s staff quarters, which are all small Western-style buildings. The lowest-ranking people living here are deputy ministerial level, and there are soldiers standing guard like them.

Arriving at Chen's house, Deputy Minister Chen opened the door and said to Yi Ping'an who was standing behind him, "Engineer Yi, come in quickly."

As soon as Yi Ping'an entered the living room, he saw two ladies sitting on the sofa, one older and one younger. When the older woman saw the visitor, she immediately stood up and said:

"You're back. Hey, this must be Yi Gong. Come in and sit down."

Obviously this was Deputy Minister Chen's lover. The young woman also stood up behind Mrs. Chen, looked up at Yi Ping'an, and lowered her head again. Unfortunately, when she raised her head, Yi Ping'an also saw the person clearly.

"Hello, Mrs. Chen, I'm Yi Ping'an, sorry to bother you." As Yi Ping'an said this, Wang Kaixuan handed the gift in his hand to Mrs. Chen.

"Hey, kid, just come, what do you bring?" Mrs. Chen looked like an educated woman, very well-mannered. She took Yi Ping'an's gift and handed it to Deputy Minister Chen's secretary.

He asked Yi Ping'an to sit down and talk, and then introduced the young girl, "This is Lao Chen's niece, Meng Xiaoting, a nurse at the affiliated hospital of the Ministry of Industry." After that, he turned around and introduced Yi Ping'an to the girl, "Xiaoting, this is Yi Gong Yi Ping'an, a level 5 engineer at the Third Steel Rolling Plant."

Yi Pingan: "Hello, Comrade Meng Xiaoting."

Meng Xiaoting: "Hello, Comrade Yi Ping'an."

Yi Ping'an has not been used to this way of greeting for many years and always feels a little awkward.

Yi Ping'an had already seen Meng Xiaoting's appearance just now. She had an oval face and was quite fair. She was not stunning, but very pretty and comfortable. She looked suitable for home and had the tranquility of an ancient lady in a painting. She was not short, about 168 cm tall, which made her stand out from the crowd in this era. Overall, she was pleasing to the eye.

Yi Ping'an's height is maintained at 185cm, which is not short. He has finally made himself whiter during the past six months in the research institute. If he had just returned from the northwest, he would definitely not come for a blind date, as it would damage his image. He is simply a rough man, thin and dark.

"Yi Gong, Xiao Ting, you guys sit here for a while, I'll go to the kitchen to check it out, don't be polite, have some fruit."

Mrs. Chen got up and went to the kitchen, and gave Deputy Minister Chen a look, saying that he was really tactless. Didn’t you see that the young people were having a blind date? Why are you, a grown man, joining in the fun?

Suddenly, Yi Ping'an and Meng Xiaoting were the only ones left in the living room, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
