He Yuzhu had a temper. He was born in the year of the donkey. He refused to walk and retreated. Yi Yongqing could only slowly think of a way. Good things take time.
The next day, Yi Yongqing also woke up early and met Lou Xiao'e again.
"Heh, Sister Xiao'e, you're getting prettier and prettier every day!”
Yi Yongqing said with a smile.
"No!"
Lou Xiao'e beamed with joy.
"Right, why do you think Silly Zhu is looking for me?”
"I don't want to ask him."
Lou Xiao'e asked with a smile.
"Uh, I've asked around. He Yuzhu recently got a girlfriend. She's very beautiful. Isn't she in a hurry for the betrothal gift?”
"It's all difficult without money! He wanted to start a business, open a restaurant or something, and earn some money to support his family. The wages in the factory were too low.”
Yi Yongqing happened to have an opportunity and quickly said.
"He heard that your parents are directors of the rolling mill, so he wanted to see if he could ask you to lend him some money or if your family could invest some money to open a restaurant. This is it."
Yi Yongqing finished speaking in one go.
“……”
Lou Xiao'e looked at Yi Yongqing strangely and was somewhat speechless. Her family did not have such a relationship with He Yuzhu.
Opening a restaurant was not a small sum of money. A high-end restaurant would cost at least tens of thousands or ten thousand yuan. With ten thousand yuan a month, the rural people would have to earn it for seventy to eighty years.
What did He Yuzhu do to make Lou Xiao'e open her mouth?
"Brother Zhu's culinary skills are very good. Take note that the Tan family's dishes are very famous. They specialize in making imperial dishes. However, the previous dynasty had fallen, and the war was chaotic. Their family had declined, so they could only be farmers.”
Yi Yongqing continued, especially mentioning the Tan family's dishes.
Coincidentally, Lou Xiao'e's mother's family had a deep relationship with the Tan family's dishes, but Lou Xiao'e was not too sure now.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask He Yuzhu to be a chef at your house and cook a meal. I guarantee that your parents will be satisfied.”
Yi Yongqing braced himself and continued.
"What benefits did this idiot Zhu give you?”
Lou Xiao'e teased.
"I'm such an honest person. Everything I say is the truth.”
"If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. If your parents are not satisfied with He Yuzhu's cooking, I'll let you do whatever you want with me.”
Yi Yongqing said arrogantly.
"Heh, you dare to provoke me? I won't fall for it!”
Lou Xiao'e left with a smile.
……
It was another repetitive day. He went to work and got off work. However, Yi Yongqing and He Liping were more open. He Liping did not often blush in front of him and did not hide anything.
"I've started learning how to tailor recently. I'll get a ruler to measure you later and make a shirt for you!”
He Liping said coquettishly.
"Fine, why don't I report it to you? I remember my mother making clothes for me.”
Yi Yongqing chuckled and was secretly happy in his heart. This girl is too good. I'm burning the high incense of Buddha.
"Then tell me. I'll remember it."
He Liping asked sweetly.
"Alright, tomorrow then. I'll bring a ruler tomorrow to measure you!”
He Liping noted it down carefully and smiled.
The two of them cuddled together for a while before going home separately.
As soon as he arrived home, First Aunt was already sitting in her own house.
"Are you guys working overtime? Is it very hard?"
He Yushui smiled and poured tea for Yi Yongqing.
"Wait, it'll be done soon!"
His adoptive mother called out from the kitchen.
Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu were not back yet, and He Yuzhu was here, so his adoptive mother asked him to stay at home for dinner.
Yi Yongqing had to go to work at the bicycle factory tomorrow, so his adoptive mother made more delicious food for him tonight.
There was braised eel, winter melon rib soup, scrambled eggs, and some vegetables. It was a sumptuous meal.
Ribs were much cheaper than meat these days. Ribs didn't have much meat and didn't have much oil. One pound of ribs was only 25 cents.
Everyone loved to buy fatty meat to eat. There was a lot of oil. However, Yi Yongqing's family had three people. Yi Zhonghai's salary was high, and Yi Yongqing also had a salary. He did not lack oil and could eat whatever he wanted.
"That must be tough. You students are good. Other than making up lessons, you just rest.”
Yi Yongqing sipped his tea and smiled.
"What's so good about it? If I can't get into university, I can only go to the factory or be a teacher in primary or middle school.”
He Yushui cried out.
"That's still better than ordinary workers. No matter what, they're still high school students. Which factory doesn't fight for them? Being an administrative staff to do paperwork is more than ten times better than being a front-line worker.”
Yi Yongqing said happily.
In this day and age, more than 70% of the people in the country were illiterate. High school students were more popular than university students and master's students.
"Besides, there's still a year left. If you work hard, you might be able to get into university.”
Yi Yongqing said with a smile.
"I'm a family member. I don't have much hope. Sigh, look at me. If I apply to be the administrative manager of your food factory, will I be able to do it?”
He Yushui asked with a bitter face.
"Isn't it more than enough to be a manager? He's even qualified to be a factory manager!”
Yi Yongqing said cheekily.
