Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"I haven't heard that Xiaolin has a boyfriend. In his spare time, apart from studying cooking, I've never seen him go out to play."

Zhang Wenhai thought Xu Jingping was looking for him for something else, but he never expected that Xu Jingping was looking for him to ask him if Lin Zhenhua had a girlfriend.

Although he was puzzled as to why Xu Jingping asked this, Zhang Wenhai still told him everything he knew.

Lin Zhenhua is not married and has no partner. He spends all day studying cooking. People often joke with him, asking if he plans to spend the rest of his life with his kitchen knife.

“It’s good to be single.”

Xu Jingping felt relieved when she heard Zhang Wenhai say that Lin Zhenhua was single.

"Boss Xu, why are you asking this?"

"Someone asked me to ask. Xiaolan has fallen in love with Master Lin and asked me to help introduce them to each other."

"Xiao Lan has fallen in love with Master Lin. She's not young anymore, right?"

"Twenty-nine."

"Then he is the same age as Master Lin. The two of them are only one year apart. This is a good thing. I will go talk to Master Lin."

"Master Zhang, please go and ask Master Lin what he thinks first."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Zhang Wenhai came to the Cantonese restaurant humming a tune with a smile on his face, and found Lin Zhenhua who was leading the kitchen team to make preparations.

"Xiao Lin."

"Chef, you are here. Welcome to the kitchen of the Cantonese restaurant to give us your guidance."

"I'm not here to instruct you on your work today. I'm here for your lifelong event."

"My lifelong event?"

Zhang Wenhai smiled and said, "Xiao Lin, do you want a wife?"

Lin Zhenhua smiled and said, "Chef, I have also seen the movie The Shepherd. If I ask, will you send me a wife right away?"

When the other members of the Cantonese restaurant's kitchen team heard this, they all pricked up their ears.

"You are thirty years old now, don't you want to find a partner?"

"Why not? It's just that I haven't met the right one yet."

Of course Lin Zhenhua wanted to find a partner, and his parents at home were also urging him to do so.

But Lin Zhenhua is passionate about cooking, so when he wants to find a partner, he wants to find someone who likes food and has a common language with him.

"I'm serious with you, kid." Zhang Wenhai said, "I just went to see Director Xu, and Director Xu is very concerned about the lifelong affairs of unmarried young men and women like you in the company.

Mr. Xu wants to introduce you to a girl."

Lin Zhenhua was stunned when he heard this: "Boss Xu, are you going to introduce someone to me?"

"Yes, let me tell you clearly, what do you think of Mr. Xu's driver Liang Xiaolan?"

Zhang Wenhai told Lin Zhenhua the truth directly, telling the boy bluntly that the person Xu Jingping wanted to introduce to him was Liang Xiaolan.

"Xiaolan."

Lin Zhenhua's mind flashed with Liang Xiaolan's image, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose slightly.

At that time, he improved a Cantonese pastry and invited everyone to taste it. Liang Xiaolan kept praising his Cantonese pastry for being very delicious.

Later, every time he made cakes, he would leave a portion for Liang Xiaolan.

This girl is really different from other girls.

"Everyone, look! Master Lin is smiling."

"Oh... I see. Our chef likes Miss Xiaolan."

"This is the first time I've seen the chef smile so happily. On behalf of our Wangfujing Cantonese Restaurant, I agree to this marriage."

"I agree."

"Chef, please send the bride to our head chef as soon as possible. We will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate today and enter the bridal chamber tonight."

When the kitchen team of the Cantonese restaurant saw Lin Zhenhua smiling so happily, they knew that he was also interested in Liang Xiaolan, and they all started to make a noise.

Zhang Wenhai also smiled when he saw this: "Xiao Lin, give me a clear answer, do you want this wife or not?"

"want."

Lin Zhenhua said the word "want" in a resounding voice. He was interested in Liang Xiaolan, but he didn't expect that Liang Xiaolan also had feelings for him in this regard and even asked Director Xu to inquire about his situation.

"Then I'll go and reply to Director Xu."

After receiving a positive response from Lin Zhenhua, Zhang Wenhai went to the chairman's office again.

"Boss Xu, I told Xiaolin about this. I didn't expect that Xiaolin also had this intention towards Xiaolan."

"Really? They are so in tune with each other and are attracted to each other." Xu Jingping asked his assistant to call Liang Xiaolan to the office.

"Boss Xu, you're looking for me?"

"I've already asked about your situation. Master Lin doesn't have a girlfriend, and he has feelings for you. I'll give you and Master Lin a day off today. Go find him now, and you two can go shopping and watch a movie or something."

"what?"

Zhang Wenhai smiled and said, "Xiao Lin told me personally that he likes you, too. Go find him."

Xu Jingping said, "Go ahead. You are a military man, and you are both thirty years old. There is nothing to be shy about."

"Boss Xu, what about you?"

"Don't worry about me. Just give me the keys and I'll drive back by myself later."

"Boss Xu, I'll go then."

Liang Xiaolan left the key to Xu Jingping and strode straight to the Cantonese restaurant. She was a military man, had fought monkeys in southern Xinjiang, and retired from the Women's Special Police Team of the Sichuan Armed Police Corps. She was not the kind of girl who would be shy.

"Master Lin."

"Xiaolan, why are you here?"

"Boss Xu gave us a day off so we could go shopping and watch a movie."

"Oh……!"

"Chef, please go quickly. We are here in the kitchen."

"Wait for me two minutes, I'll go change my clothes." Lin Zhenhua ran back to the dormitory as fast as he could, put on a tweed coat that he rarely had the chance to wear, and polished his leather shoes until they were shiny.

Liang Xiaolan was waiting for Lin Zhenhua downstairs, and after they met up, they went to Beihai Park together.

…………

"It looks like it won't be long before I can drink at Xiaolan's wedding."

Xu Jingping stood by the office window and watched Liang Xiaolan and Lin Zhenhua leave together.

I played the role of matchmaker and helped a couple get married, which gave me a great sense of accomplishment.

"Ding ding ding..."

"Who's calling?" Xu Jingping picked up the mobile phone: "Sister Xiaoli, it's you. I'm at the company. I'm not busy. OK, I'll wait for you at the company."

Su Xiaoli called and asked her if she was busy and asked her to go shopping together.

Half an hour later, Su Xiaoli came to Xu Jingping's office.

"Jingping."

"Sister Xiaoli, you are here. Where are you going shopping?"

"Let's just walk around here. You can go shopping with me."

"Okay, let's go."

There was nothing to do in the company at the moment, and even if Su Xiaoli didn't look for her, Xu Jingping planned to go home first.

Home.

Yang Yukun put down the phone.

Xu Jingping said she would not come back for dinner, so Su Xiaoli asked her to go shopping together and then treat her to dinner later.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law didn’t come back for dinner either. They took Xiao Zongzi and the others to play in the zoo and then went to Lao Mo’s Restaurant for dinner.

"Black Panther, they won't be back for lunch, so let's just eat something."

"Woof woof woof..."

"Let's cook a bowl of noodles."

"Woof woof woof..."

"Have some mixed noodles."

Yang Yukun took out flour to make noodles, and used chicken eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs to make a mixed sauce, and made a large bowl of noodles for himself and Black Panther respectively.

The few steamed buns and steamed buns left over from the morning were also shared by him and Black Panther.

"Go Black Panther, go out for a stroll."

"Woof woof woof..."

After lunch, Yang Yukun invited Black Panther to go out for some fresh air.

He walked out of the alley, wandered around the neighborhood, strolled for two hours, and then walked home with Black Panther.

"Didi..."

"Xiao Kun."

"Brother Xiaowu, Sister Su Meng, you are back from New Year's greetings."

A car was coming from behind, and Yang Yukun asked Black Panther to move to the side.

The car stopped beside him, and it was Han Chunming and Su Meng.

"What are you doing?"

"I have nothing to do, so I'm just taking a stroll. Where are Brother Jian and Brother Tu?"

"Let's go home, do you want me to give you a ride?"

"It's only a few minutes' walk back, what are you taking with you?"

"Then continue your stroll. I brought you some chestnuts, which my aunt's family grows themselves."

Han Chunming handed a big bag of chestnuts to Yang Yukun. The chestnuts were grown by his aunt's family, and his aunt gave them a lot of them when she came back.

Yang Yukun peeled a chestnut and put it in his mouth. The moisture of the chestnuts evaporated after being dried in the sun, but the sugar was retained, making it very sweet. He could use the chestnuts to stew a chicken for dinner.

"Woof woof woof..."

"Black Panther, you want to eat one too, right? I'll give you one."

"Woof woof woof..."

"Come on, go home."

Carrying a large bag of chestnuts, Yang Yukun and Black Panther strolled back home.

It was still early to cook dinner, so Yang Yukun wandered around in his portable planting space for a while and worked in the fields for several hours, harvesting the mature rapeseed and rice and planting corn and sorghum. (End of this chapter)
