There were two sides to the story.
Xu Pingqiu had been busy in the workshop for the whole morning.
He drew four or five drawings of carved chairs and cut out a lot of wooden boards for backup.
After lunch, he found a sunny place to take a nap.
"Master, can I massage your shoulders?"
A little girl in her early twenties with pigtails.
She was holding a bright red apple in her hand and handed it to Xu Pingqiu without any explanation.
This girl was called He Hui. She had started learning techniques from Xu Pingqiu last year.
They could be considered master and disciple.
"Cut the crap. Tell me, what do you want me to teach you again?”
Xu Pingqiu took the apple and took a big bite.
He was quite satisfied with this disciple of his.
He was quick-witted and knew how to do things. Most importantly, he had a good character.
He had principles and a bottom line.
"Why don't you teach me how to draw blueprints?"
He Huisheng had an oval face, fair skin, and a pair of dimples at the corner of his mouth.
He had a lively personality, and his identity was still a mystery.
She had landed in the woodworking workshop and was not properly assigned.
Some people said that she was a relative of the workshop director Liang.
Some people said that she was the daughter of Director He of the main factory.
Xu Pingqiu had also asked around twice, but the little girl had kept it a secret.
"Drawing is not as simple as you think. Not only do you need to be proficient in drawing skills, but you also need to have a solid understanding of mathematical geometry.”
"You can't even understand the simplest scale diagram.”
Xu Pingqiu finished biting the apple and placed the remaining core in He Hui's palm.
" Then let's start from the most basic drawing skills…" He Hui started to coax him again.
"Take this book back and read it. When you understand it, we'll talk about drawing.”
"I still have something to do in the afternoon, so I have to leave work early.”
"If you deduct my salary, you'll have to continue learning mortise and tenon structures next month.”
Xu Pingqiu pulled out a thick book titled " Introduction to Mechanics " from his work desk and threatened.
"Where are you going?" He Hui asked curiously.
"Auntie Wang introduced me to a partner and made an appointment to meet her at her workplace in the afternoon.”Xu Pingqiu said smugly.
"Tsk, boring."
He Hui pursed her lips, took the book, and turned to leave.
Xu Pingqiu shrugged helplessly.
Of course, he knew that He Hui was interested in him.
He was just short of piercing through that layer of window paper.
However, Xu Pingqiu really saw her as his disciple.
For the time being, he did not have any thoughts of developing into a partner.
The relationship between a master and his disciple was big news in this era.
If he did not do well, he would be labeled as having a problematic lifestyle.
Most importantly, he knew too little about He Hui's background!
He took off his work clothes and changed into a cotton coat that was similar in style to his work clothes.
It was dark blue, with buttons and a very new color.
He had no choice!
In this era, the streets were filled with blue, gray, and green.
People were still in the stage of eating and wearing warm clothes, so there weren't so many fancy designs.
She was dressed neatly and tidied her hair in front of the window.
Then, he changed into the new leather shoes that the system had rewarded him with.
He instantly became spirited.
Xu Pingqiu was of average height and lean, but he was very muscular.
He had a refined and handsome face.
His carpentry skills were superb, and he could be rated as advanced every year.
In the early years, if Jia Zhangshi hadn't deliberately ruined Xu Pingqiu's reputation,
Why were they still not married?
He pushed his bicycle out of the factory.
Aunt Wang had been waiting at the door for a while, pushing the bicycle she had borrowed.
"I say, Xiao Xu, why aren't you in a hurry? It's our first meeting. It's not good to be late.”
Aunt Wang worked in the cotton mill, which was next to the construction factory.
In order to bring Xu Pingqiu to meet the girl, he took a few hours off.
"Then let's go quickly. I was delayed by something at work.”
Xu Pingqiu was quite serious about getting a partner.
He was neither big nor small now.
If this continued, it would be difficult to find one when they were older.
"Are you going empty-handed?"
In order to be the matchmaker, Aunt Wang had been worried to death.
"Go to the supply and marketing cooperative in front and buy some canned fruit or something, okay?”
Xu Pingqiu didn't have much experience with matchmaking, so he could only listen to Aunt Wang's opinion.
"It's our first meeting, so we should leave a good impression on the girl.”
Aunt Wang patiently passed on her experience to Xu Pingqiu.
"Then weigh some peanuts and melon seeds, wrap some milk candy, and make two cans…"
"Alright, alright, you're still planning to empty the supply and marketing cooperative!”
While the two of them were talking, they had already arrived at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Xu Pingqiu parked his bicycle at the entrance and walked into the supply and marketing cooperative with Aunt Wang.
"Weigh two catties of melon seeds and peanuts each. Give me two bags of this milk candy and two cans of fruit.”
"According to this list, I want two portions and wrap them separately.”
Xu Pingqiu was afraid that the salesperson would misunderstand, so he picked up the pen on the counter and wrote a list.
He waited for the salesperson to prepare the double.
Xu Pingqiu turned around and handed one to Aunt Wang.
"Aunty Wang, I'll have to trouble you to accompany me. It's just a small token.”
"We're all neighbors in the same courtyard. There's no need to be so polite. Tell me, you…"
Aunt Wang said politely, but her hands were not slow.
As if he had thought of something, he instructed the salesperson,"Please change the other one to a red paper bag for good luck.”
"Wait a moment. It'll be ready soon."
The salesperson saw that the customer had bought a lot of things and was very enthusiastic in serving him.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, the two of them rode their bicycles side by side.
Aunt Wang introduced the girl to Xu Pingqiu.
" Master Yu from Red Star's supply and marketing cooperative. You should know him…"
"He has two daughters."
"The eldest daughter is twenty-one years old this year. She hasn't been working for long and sells snacks in a department store. Her salary isn't high.”
"That girl is so beautiful. What's her name again…Oh, Yu Li.”
"Yu Li?"
Xu Pingqiu was stunned.
"What's wrong? Do you know each other?" Aunt Wang was confused.
"Is her sister called Yu Haitang?”
Xu Pingqiu couldn't help but feel that the world was really small.
According to the TV plot, Yu Li seemed to have married the eldest son of the Yan family.
Later on, he even opened a Sichuan restaurant and invited Silly Zhu to cook.
"That's right, I'm called Yu Haitang and I study at your Third Uncle's school.“
"You two know each other?”
Aunt Wang was still puzzled. She had asked Yu Li before, but she didn't say that she knew her.
"I don't know her. I just heard people say that she's beautiful.”
Xu Pingqiu finally realized what was going on and found a random excuse to brush it off.
" I was just saying…" Aunt Wang's anxious heart finally relaxed.
If the two of them knew each other, there would be no need for her to be a matchmaker.
They had agreed before.
If this matter was successful, the matchmaker would get a red packet.
Gulou East Street, Friendship Department Store.
On the second floor, in the snack section.
Yu Li was a little distracted.
Halfway through, he weighed the candies for the customers a few times, but the amount was not right.
Because of this, he was even reprimanded by the leader.
He heard from his father that Aunt Wang had introduced him to a partner.
He lived in a courtyard house in Nanluogu Alley.
Level 4 Carpenter in the Foundry.
He had just bought a brand-new bicycle a few days ago.
In that case, his family conditions should be pretty good.
He just didn't know what she looked like or if she had a good temper.
