Third Uncle was reminded by Third Aunt that he had almost forgotten about this rule. Usually, when a matchmaker was pulling strings, as long as two people were willing to talk about it, they would have to give a red packet.
Third Uncle was destined to be greedy. When he heard that he had received a red packet, his eyes lit up.
"I almost forgot if you didn't mention it!”
"Then how am I supposed to tell Teacher Ran now?”
Third Uncle looked straight at Third Aunt and asked.
Third Aunt followed closely behind and said,"Just say that you remembered wrongly. Silly Zhu doesn't have a partner yet. Let them meet in two days."”
"Come down and tell Silly Zhu that he doesn't have a partner now. He'll be happy to know that you're going over to introduce him to a partner!”
Third Uncle listened and said,"Then let's do it this way!"
Thus, the two of them turned back. Third Uncle smiled at Ran Qiuye and said,""Teacher Ran, I'm really sorry about just now. I'm getting old!”
"I remembered wrongly!"
Ran Qiuye was originally disappointed, but after Third Uncle spoke again, she seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
"Teacher Yan, what do you mean?"
Third Uncle explained," This He Yuzhu in our courtyard doesn't have a partner yet. I've put it on someone else's courtyard. I'm really sorry."”
"How about this? It's quite late today. I'll go and talk to He Yuzhu tomorrow and arrange for you to meet up.”
Hearing this, Ran Qiuye was overjoyed and immediately replied,""Of course, Teacher Yan. We'll do as you say.”
"When you make an agreement with him, you must tell me!”
Third Uncle nodded and smiled tactfully. He said,"It's like this, Teacher Ran. There's one more thing I have to tell you.”
"According to the customs in our area, after the matchmaker is successful, both parties have to give the matchmaker a red envelope to express their gratitude. You see, we are all teachers in the same school, so I don't have to either."
Third Uncle didn't finish his sentence, but he knew that Ran Qiuye understood.
Ran Qiuye immediately said," Don't worry, Teacher Yan. As long as you can say it, I know about red packets. You don't have to worry."”
When Third Uncle heard this, he was completely relieved.
He immediately stood up and said," Okay, Teacher Ran. It's dark today. Why don't you go back first? Otherwise, it's not safe."”
"Just wait for my news.”
Ran Qiuye stood up and said," Teacher Yan, please let us meet the higher-ups earlier. This good stuff is in high demand. I'm also afraid."
Ran Qiuye was clearly starting to worry about her marriage. In the society back then, girls of her age would have already gotten married and had children.
However, she was the only one in the circle who was still alone. She had good conditions in all aspects, but she could not meet a suitable person.
This made her overly worried.
After that, Ran Qiuye left Third Uncle's house.
Just as she came out, He Yuzhu happened to be packing clothes in the courtyard.
When Ran Qiuye saw He Yuzhu, she took the initiative to greet him.
"Hello, comrade. You're also from this courtyard, right?”
He Yuzhu nodded and said,"Yes, I live in that house."”
Ran Qiuye first expressed her gratitude and then said,""I'll definitely return the money to you tomorrow. Tell me your name.”
"It's fine. Aren't you a teacher at Red Star Primary School?"”
"You can send it directly to the canteen of the rolling mill next door when you have time.”
"Just say it's for He Yuzhu."
"He Yuzhu?" Ran Qiuye was stunned. She stared at the man in front of her." You're He Yuzhu?”
"Yeah, is there a problem?" He Yuzhu smiled.”
"Look at you. Do you know me?”
Ran Qiuye subconsciously nodded before shaking her head.
"You know, but you don't know either.”
Looking at Ran Qiuye's adorable appearance, He Yuzhu smiled and asked,""What happened to you?"
"Why can't you speak clearly?"
Ran Qiuye was obviously a little anxious. She really didn't expect that the kind person who paid for her was actually He Yuzhu, who Third Uncle wanted to introduce to her.
She felt that she was too lucky.
Ever since He Yuzhu took the initiative to pay for her, Ran Qiuye's heart had been completely ignited.
She said shyly,"Actually, it's…"
As a girl, Ran Qiuye couldn't bring herself to say such words. However, she still gritted her teeth and decided whether she should take the initiative to attack.
In the end, she chose the latter.
She straightened her body, stretched out her hand, and said,"Hello, my name is Ran Qiuye. I'm a teacher at Red Star Primary School. I'm 24 years old this year.”
When He Yuzhu saw that Ran Qiuye was doing this to him, he cooperated with her and said,""My name is He Yuzhu, a cook in the canteen of the rolling mill. I'm 31 years old this year.”
Ran Qiuye pondered for a moment and said,""Can you send me back? That way, I can give you the money.”
When He Yuzhu heard that, Ran Qiuye actually took the initiative to ask him out.
"I'm sorry, but it's time for dinner. I have to go back and eat."”
When Ran Qiuye heard that, she felt a little disappointed. She wondered if He Yuzhu was not interested in her.
She could only nod and say,"Alright then. I'll send it to the canteen for you another day."”
After saying that, Ran Qiuye prepared to turn around and leave.
He Yuzhu smiled and said to her,"If you haven't eaten yet, why don't you stay for dinner?”
Instantly, Ran Qiuye's heart skipped a beat. She still thought that she had no chance.
However, he was pleasantly surprised the next second.
She turned to He Yuzhu and asked,""Is it really okay?"
"Isn't this a little inappropriate?"
"What's there to be embarrassed about? It's just an extra pair of chopsticks!" He Yuzhu said lightly.”
" We didn't even know each other just now," Ran Qiuye said." Since you lent me the money, I should owe you a favor. I should treat you to a meal."”
At this moment, He Yushui walked out and called He Yuzhu back for dinner. However, when she stepped out and saw the scene in front of her…
She hesitated for a moment and said,""Brother, it's time to eat!"
"And this is…"
Ran Qiuye was a little embarrassed and lowered her head.
He Yuzhu hadn't thought of how to explain herself, but she wasn't embarrassed at all. She quickly came to He Yuzhu's side and asked,""Brother, you don't have to say anything. I understand.”
