Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 735 Zhao Shuya pulls the strings

In the courtyard.

After hearing what the aunt said, Zhao Shuya was a little confused.

She originally thought that Zhou Fang and Liu Changyi would be a good match. After introducing Zhou Fang to Liu Changyi, she could take the opportunity to build a relationship with Liu Changyi.

But now Zhou Fang's mother can barely move.

In other words, if Liu Changyi marries Zhou Fang, he will also have to take care of Zhou Fang's mother.

This is unacceptable to ordinary men.

Zhao Shuya retreated a little, smiled awkwardly at the aunt, turned around and wanted to leave.

At this time, a girl with a good figure and a student's hair wearing a work uniform came out carrying an enamel basin.

Seeing Zhao Shuya, the girl's eyes suddenly lit up: "Shuya, why are you back?"

Zhao Shuya could only turn back her stepped foot and smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Because this girl is Zhou Fang she is looking for.

The aunt next to her walked up with a smile, smiled brightly at Zhou Fang and said, "Zhou Fang, the Guangqi family is here to introduce you to your partner. This is great."

Although Zhou Fang is a little older and has been on several blind dates, Zhou Fang is still a little shy when such things are mentioned to her face.

Her face turned slightly red and she said to Zhao Shuya: "Shuya, long time no see. Come in and sit down quickly."

Zhao Shuya had no choice but to thank her aunt and follow Zhou Fang into the house.

As soon as she entered the room, Zhao Shuya smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.

Taking a closer look, there was a coal stove placed in the Zhou family hall, and an iron pot was placed on the coal stove. The black soup in the pot was boiling continuously.

The furnishings in the house are also in tatters, including a crooked square table, two broken chairs, and the curtain on the door is full of holes.
This kind of living conditions simply does not match Zhou Fang's income.

Zhou Fang is a manager at a match factory and earns a monthly salary of more than 40 yuan. In this era, the factory takes care of food and housing, so Zhou Fang doesn't have to spend money at all on weekdays.

Her wages can only be used to pay for Zhou's mother's medical treatment.

Zhao Shuya was also a kind-hearted person. Seeing this situation, her mood suddenly became heavy and she began to hesitate whether to introduce Zhou Fang to Liu Changyi.

But Zhou Fang had no idea what her old friend was thinking, and was still happy for her arrival.

She picked up a hot water bottle and helped pour tea for Zhao Shuya. There was even some high-quality broken pieces in the tea.

"Come on, it's cold. Shuya, drink some water first to warm yourself up."

Zhao Shuya took the enamel jar, held it in her hand and drank a few sips of hot tea, then said with a smile: "Zhou Fang, how are you doing recently?"

"Ah?!" Zhou Fang didn't expect Zhao Shuya to ask this, and quickly smiled and said: "That's good. You may already know that my mother has some health problems, but she is getting better and better recently."

Zhou Fang seemed unwilling to mention family matters and brought the topic to Zhao Shuya.

"Shuya, weren't you thinking about being transferred back to the capital a while ago? I remember that you were working as a translator. It was a coincidence that our match factory was about to introduce a batch of equipment from Lao Maozi, and we needed a translator in the factory, because It is urgently needed, and they may consider transferring people from other places. If you want to come to our factory, I can talk to the leaders in the factory."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuya felt warm in her heart.

She knew that Zhou Fang was just a clerk in the lumber factory. How difficult it was to accomplish such a thing. Zhou Fang was willing to do that, which showed that she really regarded her as a friend.

Zhao Shuya made up her mind and said with a smile: "Zhou Fang, I forgot to tell you that I have been transferred back to the capital from Baoding."

"Ah?!" Zhou Fang was slightly surprised and asked quickly: "Which factory is it?"

"Orchid Automobile Factory."

"Yeah, that's the factory with the best pay in our capital, Shuya, you're really capable." Zhou Fang has naturally heard of the name of Lanhua Automobile Factory.

"It's just the right time."

Zhao Shuya took the opportunity to say: "But I did meet a security section chief at Lanhua Automobile Factory. He is actually a good match for you."

Hearing this, Zhou Fang remembered the purpose of Zhao Shuya's trip, and sighed a little shyly and a little disappointed.

"Sister Shuya, I appreciate your kindness, but you also know the situation in my family. My mother is in poor health. Although the medical expenses can be fully reimbursed, the rehabilitation expenses and some special drugs are not reimbursed. I I spent all my salary on my mother’s medical treatment.

Besides, after getting married, I still want to take my mother with me. Which man would accept this condition now? "

After several kisses, Zhou Fang became a little disappointed.

Zhao Shuya became more energetic at this time and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious. I have thought carefully about the person I want to introduce. He is a good match for you."

"How does it match?"

"That man is the section chief of the security department. According to the salary standard of Lanhua Automobile Factory, he can get a salary of more than 100 yuan a month. Moreover, he is a foreigner and his parents are in Ningzhou. Even if you bring your mother there, , he may not care."

When saying these words, Zhao Shuya also felt a little guilty.

However, in order to help Zhou Fang build up her confidence, she could only say this.

Zhou Fang thought carefully and found out that it was really the case.

She nodded slightly: "Well, then I agree, and I'd like you to help with the matchmaking."

"Don't worry about this!" Zhao Shuya nodded excitedly.

At this time, Zhou's mother also heard the sounds outside in the house. Knowing that Zhao Shuya was going to introduce a partner to Zhou Fang, she called Zhao Shuya in.

She held Zhao Shuya's hand and said: "Girl, when you are introducing the situation to Zhou Fang this time, if the man feels it is inappropriate, don't mention me. My wife has also thought about it. I am so old, even if Even if you go to someone else's home, you will make them dislike you, so you might as well live in a nursing home."

A nursing home has recently been built in the Siheyuan neighborhood. Elderly people over 70 years old who have no one to take care of them can apply to stay.

When Zhou Fang heard this from outside, she quickly put down the green vegetables in her hand, went inside, stopped Zhou's mother and said, "Mom, you are talking nonsense again. My father died early back then, and you were the one who pissed on me." Pull the big one, now that you are old and unable to move, it is the time when I should take care of you."

"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it, right?" Zhou's mother saw that Zhou Fang was stubborn, so she quietly winked and winked at Zhao Shuya.

Zhao Shuya could only pretend to agree.

Zhao Shuya originally didn't want to have lunch at Zhou Fang's house, but she couldn't resist Zhou Fang's enthusiasm, so she had to stay.

After lunch, Zhao Shuya remembered that she had arranged to help Zhou Fang as a matchmaker. After leaving the courtyard, she did not even return to the courtyard. Instead, she got on her bicycle and headed to the Lanhua Automobile Factory.

At this time, Liu Changyi had just finished lunch and was inspecting various sentries in the Lanhua Automobile Factory. When he heard that Zhao Shuya was looking for him, he felt a little surprised.

At this time, he had obtained Zhao Shuya's information and knew that Zhao Shuya was a newly recruited translator at Lanhua Automobile Factory.

It's just that the translator and the security department can't get along, so how can we find him?
With doubts, Liu Changyi met Zhao Shuya in the gate room.

Zhao Shuya knew Liu Changyi's dull temperament, so she directly said that she would help Liu Changyi introduce a partner.Liu Changyi was simply stunned at the time. He never expected that a translator who had not yet joined the job would help him introduce a partner.

"No, not. Me."

Just when Liu Changyi was hesitating and didn't know how to answer, Wang Weidong came in from the outside.

Seeing that Zhao Shuya was there and Liu Changyi looked embarrassed, he asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"

Wang Weidong's embarrassment broke the awkward atmosphere in the room. Zhao Shuya stood up quickly and said with a smile: "Director Liu, you came just in time. I am introducing a partner to Section Chief Liu. Section Chief Liu seems a little embarrassed."

"It's a good thing to introduce the person!" Wang Weidong also became interested and sat down slowly holding on to the table.

Liu Changyi is three years older than him and is nearly 30 years old this year. If he were in Liujiagou, his children would probably be running all over the place by now.

But because he came to the capital and had to help Wang Weidong take care of such a big thing as the Orchid Automobile Factory, he was very busy at work on weekdays.

In addition, Liu Changyi was not good at words, so he did not get married.

A while ago, when Wang Weidong returned to Ningzhou City, he took the time to visit his uncle and aunt in Liujiagou.

Both of them were very concerned about Liu Changyi's personal problems and hoped that Wang Weidong could help Liu Changyi find a wife as soon as possible.

Although Liu Changshun's daughter-in-law has given birth to two sons in succession for the Liu family, the Liu family does not need anyone to inherit the family.

But Liu Changyi's delay in getting married has become a worry for the old couple.

Wang Weidong naturally agreed to their request.

When he returned to the capital, he made this matter a top priority and began to introduce people to Liu Changyi.

From the employees and officers in the Orchid Automobile Factory, to the teachers in the capital, and the staff of the ministries and commissions, there were seven or eight introductions.

But Liu Changyi didn't like any of them.

Wang Weidong also felt a little strange.

The lesbians he introduced were all first-class in appearance, family background and knowledge.

What does Liu Changyi want?
then,

Wang Weidong took the opportunity of a dinner to chat with Liu Changyi in detail. When he learned the answer from Liu Changyi, Wang Weidong was a little bit dumbfounded.

This guy dislikes those girls for being too frivolous.

Fufu is a dialect in Ningzhou City. It mainly describes people who are not practical in dealing with things and live an unreliable life.

Are you kidding? Do you think this is Qinjiagou, where lesbians hoe the fields during the day and take care of the parents-in-law and children at night?
It's true that black pigs can't eat fine chaff.

From then on, Wang Weidong calmed down and just let Liu Changyi learn slowly.

When Zhao Shuya saw Wang Weidong's interest in this matter, she immediately felt that she had done the right thing.

She quickly introduced Zhou Fang's situation. Of course, facing Wang Weidong, she did not dare to conceal the illness of Zhou Fang's mother.

After Wang Weidong heard this, he praised: "Zhou Fang is really filial to be able to choose not to get married in order to take care of her mother. Moreover, she is also a manager in the match factory. She graduated from a technical secondary school and has a certain education. This girl It’s quite appropriate.”

Wang Weidong also knew Liu Changyi's temperament. Seeing that Liu Changyi remained silent, he took the initiative and said: "Chief Liu, I will give you a day off tomorrow, and you can go and meet Comrade Zhou Fang."

In fact, when Zhao Shuya brought up this matter, Liu Changyi subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Now that Wang Weidong said this, Liu Changyi could only nod his head and agree.

When Zhao Shuya saw that Liu Changyi agreed to meet, she immediately returned to the courtyard and told Zhou Fang the news.

The two agreed to meet in People's Park.

Because Zhao Shuya is going to Lanhua Automobile Factory to report tomorrow, Zhou Fang can only go to see Liu Changyi alone.

Zhou Fang was a little timid: "Sister Shuya, I've never seen that person before. How can I recognize him then?"

Zhao Shuya took out a movie magazine from her canvas bag and stuffed it into Zhou Fang's hand.

"Zhou Fang, I have made an appointment with Liu Changyi. When the time comes, both of you will be holding movie magazines."

"What does that person look like?" Zhou Fang took the magazine and asked curiously.

Although she has long been prepared not to get married, but what girl hasn't had unrequited dreams?
Zhao Shuya laughed, patted her shoulder and said: "Don't worry, I have always had good taste. Although Liu Changyi's skin is a bit dark because he worked in the countryside for a period of time in his early years, he is very tough and has a strong body. There is also a temperament that those pretty boys in the stock market don’t have.”

"How can I be easy to see like this!"

Zhou Fang was also moved at this moment and began to worry that others would look down on her.

Zhao Shuya looked Zhou Fang up and down and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Liu Changyi is not that kind of playboy. He is a very down-to-earth person and doesn't like those flashy things. However, your hair is a bit long and needs to be trimmed. Let's go." , I’ll take you to the People’s Barber Shop at the corner of the street and trim your hair.”

"Thank you then." Zhou Fang thanked Zhao Shuya sincerely.

Zhao Shuya felt a little guilty.

Early the next morning.

Zhou Fang got up before six o'clock in the morning. After helping her mother wash up, she cooked a meal, fed her mother, and washed the dishes until it was past seven o'clock.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Fang picked up her rucksack and prepared to go out.

Zhou's mother shouted from inside the house: "Zhou Fang, do you remember what I said? If the man is unwilling, you will send me to a nursing home."

Zhou Fang ignored her and went out. After closing the door ajar, she entrusted the neighbor's aunt to take care of the house.

"Auntie, I have to go out for something and I will be back at noon. If there is anything going on at home, I have to ask you to take care of it."

"Zhou Fang, are you going on a blind date? Go quickly. Don't worry about your mother. I'll take care of it for you."

The neighbor's aunt was also aware of the situation of the Zhou family. While praising Zhou Fang for her filial piety, she also sympathized with her plight.

Now that I saw Zhou Fang was on a blind date again, I naturally wanted to actively help.

Zhou Fang felt relieved and walked out the door.

She didn't have a bicycle and was reluctant to take the bus. By the time she reached People's Park, it was almost 09:30.

At this time, there were many people in the park. Pairs of young men and women walked side by side, children were running around, and a few old men were exercising there.

Zhou Fang walked around the park and didn't see anyone holding a movie magazine.
