On the other side, Li Cheng went to buy some meat after work and returned to the mechanic's compound.
As soon as she entered, she saw her uncle and auntie sitting together in the courtyard and chatting.
The people in the workshop were actually all from the workshop.
Or rather, they were the parents of the mechanic, just like the ones in the courtyard house.
These were all assigned by the maintenance factory.
In this day and age, most people who worked in this kind of unit would be assigned a room.
This courtyard was not as big as the Siheyuan courtyard. He only had a second courtyard, and there were about 20 families living in it.
Most of the people living there were older.
The reason why there were no young people was because most of the young people in this courtyard had gone to the mountains and villages.
Those who stayed behind were all older.
Li Cheng bought some vegetables and meat and walked to the entrance of the courtyard.
He was stopped by someone.
Li Cheng turned his head and saw that this person was none other than Lou Xiao'e.
Seeing Lou Xiao'e, Li Cheng was naturally very happy.
"E'zi, why are you here?”
Li Cheng asked doubtfully.
At this moment, Aunt Wang walked out of the courtyard.
This was the auntie who had been especially enthusiastic to him on the first day he entered this courtyard.
According to seniority, Lou Xiao'e was actually his niece.
"I asked her to come over." Aunt Wang walked over and smiled.
She then grabbed Lou Xiao'e's hand and pulled him in.
After Li Cheng and Lou Xiao'e sat down, Aunt Wang smiled and said,""Last time, I saw that the two of you weren't done chatting. This time, we can talk more. Little E, this boy is quite outstanding. He is Cui Hua's son. Que Hua is especially kind and responsible. This young man has inherited it. I think this young man is quite reliable! Won't you consider it?"
It was obvious that this middle-aged woman was pulling strings.
Lou Xiao'e's face immediately turned red.
What the auntie didn't know was that the two of them had already gotten together behind his back.
Li Cheng also smiled awkwardly." Aunt Wang, don't worry. I'm in contact with Xiao 'Er now. Moreover, Xiao' Er is very important in my heart. I quite like her too!”
Hearing this.
Lou Xiao'e's face immediately turned as red as an apple.
She lowered her head and didn't say a word. Her two hands were fiddling around as if she was thinking about something.
When Aunt Wang heard this, she was as happy as a child.
"Sure, sure. I just hope that the two of you can be together!”
At this moment, Li Cheng took out the meat in his hand and said to Aunt Wang,"Since everyone is here today, let's go to the house and cook a meal. Everyone, eat together!”
The others did not have any objections to this suggestion.
After all, the people in this courtyard were not like those in the courtyard house. The people in the courtyard were very kind and took each other to heart.
He was able to care about his neighbors.
It was also a common thing to go to every household for free food.
No one would dislike you for freeloading.
Instead, it was an important way to deepen their relationship.
Li Cheng felt that such a courtyard was the most common courtyard in this era. He had to admit that the courtyard house in the past was really not worthy.
On the other side, she was fighting with Lou Xiao'e and Aunt Wang to cook.
But at this moment, Li Cheng smiled."The two of you should rest for today. I'll cook today's meal!”Lou Xiao'e was a little surprised when she heard this.
"Big Brother Li, do you really know how to cook?”
"Li, you know how to cook?" Mrs. Wang asked curiously.”
The two of them could not believe it.
The main reason was that in this era, other than people in positions like chefs who would cook, these men usually didn't know how to cook.
Basically, it was the women who were cooking.
Li Cheng smiled and nodded." I've been living alone at home for so many years. If I don't know how to cook, I'll starve to death. Of course, I'll eat this dish. You guys rest here for a while. I'll go to the kitchen and fiddle with it. It should be ready soon."”
After saying that, Li Cheng returned to the kitchen.
Aunt Wang and Lou Xiao'e started chatting.
"Xiao Er, Xiao Li is really a good person. He knows how to be grateful and has a sense of responsibility. You should tell your father and see what he thinks!”
In Aunt Wang's heart, he was actually very concerned about Li Cheng's marriage.
After all, a man could only be considered to have truly grown up after getting married.
Aunt Wang felt very guilty towards Li Cheng's mother, Yu Cuihua.
Back then, Yu Cuihua had helped them pack a lot, but at the critical moment, he had not helped much.
Therefore, at this time, he wanted to find a good wife for Li Cheng. His niece Lou Xiao'e was especially suitable, so he took this opportunity to bring the two together.
He did not expect this matchmaking to succeed.
"Actually, my dad already knows about this. I also went to the rolling mill. Our relationship is basically set. Don't worry!”
Lou Xiao'e said gently and shyly.
After a while, Li Cheng came out with three dishes. These three dishes were all Li Cheng's signature dishes. The first dish was chicken stewed with mushrooms, the second dish was ants climbing a tree, and the third dish was stir-fried vegetables.
That night.
Li Cheng, Lou Xiao'e, and the neighbors had a very warm meal.
He had never felt this way in the courtyard house.
Li Cheng had always been alone in the courtyard house. When these people saw that there were no elders above, they would always bully you instead of caring about you.
To be honest, compared to the courtyard of the machine repair factory, this courtyard house was not even one in ten thousand. Overall, it was the right move for him to move here.
