The Old Master Wants to Be the Matchmaker
Old Master Li was a casual person, so he really went to Begonia Courtyard to freeload.
However, as soon as he entered the room, he smelled a strange smell.
"Big Sister Yi, what's this smell? It tastes the same as the stinky tofu in my hometown.”
The three women in the room, one old, one middle, one young, all looked over.
Little Duo held up a durian and said to Old Master Li,"
"Grandpa, eat durian!"
Chenli's heart was thumping furiously.
She did not expect to meet three big shots in one day.
They were all amiable and approachable.
Big Sis Yi smiled and said,"
"You came at the right time. I was about to give you some, but this durian tastes a little strange. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it.”
Old Master Li went forward and carried Little Duo. All old people liked children.
Duoduo was three years old this year, and it was the season of innocence. Her gem-like big eyes were the most attractive.
Her innocent smile could calm everyone down.
Little Duo lifted a piece of golden durian meat and placed it in the old man's mouth. The old man smiled and ate it, and his eyes lit up.
Chenli was a little worried.
"Old Master, if you can't accept this taste, don't force yourself.”
Old Master Li's eyes lit up as he nodded repeatedly.
"So sweet, so delicious!"
Chenli was relieved.
Big Sis Yi laughed.
"Look at how worried Chenli is.”
Old Master Li smiled and said,
"The stinky tofu in my hometown is much more stinky than this durian.”
"That's because the smell is on the outside and the fragrance is in the mouth.”
"Durians have a strange smell, but humans can still accept it. Miraculously, after eating a bite, the smell disappears.”
"Nature is really a divine work of art.”
He asked curiously,
"Where does durian come from?"
Big Sis Yi and Chenli shook their heads in unison.
Little Duo clapped her hands and said,"
"Daddy told Duoduo that durians are tropical fruits that can only be grown in the south.”
Old Master Li's eyes lit up even more.
"Okay, so this is a Siamese fruit.”
"Delicious!"
He said to Big Sister Yi,
"Big Sister, Yang Jianguo told me that he sent a lot of delicious food. Can we eat braised pork tonight?”
Big Sis Yi was instantly relieved. She smiled and said,
"Prime Minister Wu has already told me that Comrade Jianguo has sent a lot of things and wants me to share them with each family.”
"You like to eat braised pork, there is!"
Old Master Li's eyes widened.
"Really?"
Big Sis Yi nodded solemnly.
"Yes! It's a plate of pork!"
Old Master Li's eyes lit up.
"Then I'll pay for it!"
Chenli looked at Old Master Li in shock.
"Money…money?"
Old Master Li nodded."
"Of course we have to pay. Our organization doesn't want to take it for free.”
He suddenly remembered something.
"Comrade Chen Li, you haven't married Comrade Yang Jianguo yet. The two of you aren't living together, right?”
Chen Li blushed and shook her head.
Old Master Li said to Big Sister Yi,"
"Comrade Yang Jianguo followed Minister Wu to handle some matters. He will probably come back very late tonight.”
Big Sister Yi hurriedly said,
"Minister Wu told me that Comrade Chen Li and Little Duo will be sleeping here tonight.”
Old Master Li shook his head slightly.
"Comrade Chenli and Comrade Jianguo are not married. I'm afraid her family doesn't know that she won't be going home tonight, right?”
Chenli hurriedly said,
"Old Master, you worry too much. Sometimes when the rolling mill is busy, we will also work overtime. I also have a dormitory in the mill.”
"When we really can't go back, we'll spend the night in the factory dormitory.”
"My parents are used to it."
Old Master Li asked with interest,
"Are you guys still working overtime?"
Chenli nodded solemnly.
"Of course I'm working overtime."
"Where is the production mission? Everyone is very enthusiastic about building a new world.”
"It's common to work overtime when there's a last-minute production task.”
"Our technical department, from engineers to technicians, also works overtime.”
"At least we have rooms to rest in, but the workers in the workshop are very tired. There are many of them. When they need to work overtime, they put two benches together and take a nap.”
Old Master Li nodded slightly and said to Big Sister Yi,
"Big Sis, arrange for someone to inform Comrade Chenli's parents so that they won't worry.”
Chenli was very puzzled. She clearly said that there was no need, so why did the old man still do this?
Big Sis Yi looked at Chenli in amusement.
"Comrade Chen Li, do you like Comrade Yang Jianguo?”
Chen Li blushed and nodded.
Big Sis Yi clapped her hands and said,
" Look, you have deep feelings for Jianguo. Little Duo likes you too. You like Little Duo too. This is such a good thing.”
"My silly comrade, can't you see that the old man is trying to matchmake you?”
At that time, the country had just been established, and customs had changed. It was important to break the old rules and love freely.
A man and a woman would naturally be together if they had the same interests, personalities, and love for each other.
The atmosphere was almost the same as sixty years later.
It was just that it was not that explicit, and there were no rules and regulations.
Therefore, both Old Master Li and Big Sister Yi wanted to be Yang Jianguo and Chen Li's matchmakers.
Because matchmaking was a common thing.
Of course, it was not normal for these two to be matchmakers.
What?
Chenli's heart was thumping furiously!
She looked at Big Sister Yi in disbelief, her heart filled with immense happiness.
Big Sister Yi had also said that she wanted to be her marriage witness. She did not expect the old lady to also want to be her matchmaker.
What was happiness?
She felt it all!
Chenli was about to speak when Big Sister Yi gently shook her hand and said to Old Master Li,"
"I think these two comrades are not bad."
"It's been a long time since we've had a wedding in South China Sea. Why don't you be their witness?”
A warm current filled Chenli's chest.
Big Sis Yi had clearly said that she wanted to be the marriage witness, but after seeing Old Master Li, she decisively gave up her position.
What did he mean by disregarding fame and fortune? This was it!
Chenli's respect for Big Sister Yi rose to another level.
Old Master Li agreed readily.
"Then it's settled. I'll confirm it later!”
He thought for a moment.
"There's no need to send someone over to Big Sister Yi. I'll send someone over.”
Chenli quickly said,
"There's no need for that…I'll just go back.”
Big Sis Yi smiled and said,"
"Just listen to the old man."
Chenli was speechless.
Old Master Li didn't waste any time and asked the attendant to take a small car straight to Chenli's house.
Chenli did not know that it was because of Old Master Li's actions that her family had been safe for twenty years.
Old Master Li smiled and asked,
"Minister Wu said that Comrade Jianguo has sent a lot of things. Shall we go and take a look?”
Big Sis Yi was filled with joy.
"You are too surprised."
Old Master Li came to the kitchen and saw that it was full of things. He was surprised and excited to the point of dancing!
