Courtyard: Complain first at the beginning

Chapter 71 He Yuzhu’s blind date

Zhao Xiaotang is worrying about what to eat for lunch today? The aroma of He Yuzhu's food in the middle courtyard was already filling the courtyard. Mrs. Jia was cursing in the room and asked her daughter-in-law to order food from He Yuzhu's house.
Qin Huairu had no choice but to go to He's house. On the way, she tidied up her hair and neatly pulled the corners of her clothes and sleeves.

"Zhu's craftsmanship is so good. You, Sister Qin, can smell the fragrance from afar. Is there any happy event today? I made so many delicious things, oh! Not bad. I also bought a watch. How much does it cost?"

Qin Huairu came over with a smile on her face and a look of spring breeze on her face. When she came over, she happened to see He Yuzhu looking at the watch on his arm, and she felt a little envious in her heart.

He Yuzhu just took off the casserole with braised pork from the stove. He checked that the time on his hand was almost the same as the agreed time, so he put the iron pot on it to prepare for cooking. When he heard Qin Huairu's voice, he looked up.

"It's Sister Qin! I just bought an old one to make do with. Today, Matchmaker Song is going to bring a girl over for a blind date with me. I must entertain her with delicious food and drink. I can't lose my face."

"Why don't you have to do this? I see you have a lot of meat and vegetables. Why don't you use chopsticks to pick out two pieces and take them back for me to try? The little guy hasn't eaten meat until now! Can you? ah!"

Qin Huairu said in a delicate voice. When she came over just now, she saw that there was no one in the yard, and she had some thoughts when she spoke.
He Yuzhu was a bit confused. There were a total of eight pieces of braised pork in the casserole. They were arranged neatly and looked very plump and beautiful. If two pieces were missing, they would not be in shape.

"Oh, good Zhuzhu, you have to take pity on Banggeng! Today I wanted to boil an egg for him to replenish his body, but my mother-in-law didn't agree. The little guy is hungry and uncomfortable. I just came here because he smelled what you were doing at home. The smell of the food, the pitiful tears that can’t be shed, break my mother’s heart.”

As Qin Huairu spoke, there were tears in her eyes, and the tears were shaking with her eyes.

"Don't cry! Isn't it just a matter of two pieces of meat? Are you concerned about it? No one can hurt the child, so why don't I get it for you?"

He Yuzhu was most afraid of a woman crying. Whenever she cried, he would feel as if he had done something wrong. He quickly took a small bowl from the side and picked out two pieces of meat with chopsticks. He sent the bowl and chopsticks to Qin Huairu.

He said it loudly, but there was still some pain in his heart. He just ignored it and threw it into the other person's arms. As a result, he didn't pay attention and touched a place he shouldn't have touched.

Qin Huairu didn't expect that the other party would touch her, so she quickly took the bowl. Because she was a little embarrassed, she didn't say any more words, turned around and ran away.

He Yuzhu retracted his hand in embarrassment and rubbed it on his apron at a loss, but his attention was soon attracted by the almost red-hot iron pot.

Seeing that the pot was almost red, I quickly put the pot aside with a rag and added oil, then added the meat and sauteed until fragrant, and then started downloading various seasonings and side dishes.

"Comrade He Yuzhu lives here, right?" Zhao Xiaotang just took out two potatoes to wash and was about to stir-fry hot and sour potato shreds when he heard the voice of a female comrade at the door.

"Oh! He Yu lives in the middle courtyard, just go in from here."

Zhao Xiaotang looked at the middle-aged woman, followed by a girl, and knew what she meant, so she pointed her finger casually,
The other party said thank you! The two of them entered the middle courtyard one after the other.
The third aunt felt that she had taken advantage of her man's dinner at Zhao Xiaotang's house. She was very happy today. She was humming a song and came out of the room with a cabbage in her hand, ready to wash it. I saw the backs of two women,
"Who is this Xiaotang? It doesn't look like our yard."

"It should be the matchmaker, looking for He Yuzhu."

"Oh! That might be Matchmaker Song! I see that the girl has a pretty good figure."

The third aunt's eyes lit up when she heard this. She quickly took a basin with cabbage and walked to the middle courtyard. Anyway, washing vegetables in the middle yard is the same.

Zhao Xiaotang looked at her expression of wanting to eat melon, and the corners of his mouth twitched. There really were no entertainment activities. He wanted to ask everyone about what they were doing. If there was something new, he wished he could play it for a year.
Today, He Yuzhu prepared a dish of braised pork, a plate of fried potato slices with bacon, a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of chili cabbage and a small pot of tofu soup.
He had just finished it and was washing the pots and tidying up the kitchen when he heard someone calling him. He knew who it was when he heard the voice. He immediately put down the rag in his hand and walked out happily while agreeing,

"Aunt Song is here! Come and sit inside. The food has just been prepared. You are really good at pinching at this time."

"Hahaha, isn't it just that you came early, why not come by chance? This lesbian is called Huang Xiaoyan, Yanzi, and this is He Yuzhu, who works as a cook in the steel rolling mill. Today we are here to taste his craftsmanship. We can smell the fragrance from afar. Okay, but the craftsmanship is not simple."

Matchmaker Song introduced the two people to each other while laughing and praising them. While talking, the two people sat down in their seats. He Yuzhu quickly turned around and went back to bring the dishes.
The dishes happened to be four dishes and one soup. He Yuzhu had to run several times. While he was serving the dishes, Matchmaker Song asked Huang Xiaoyan:

"He looks relatively mature, but getting married and living a good life can only be based on looks, salary, and family conditions. It looks like the house is good. There are three in total. When his sister gets married, this family will Isn’t it just you who have the final say?”

Huang Xiaoyan was a little unhappy at first, mainly because the other party was too old and looked older than her eldest brother, but Matchmaker Song was right.
Besides, her mother also told her when she went out that she shouldn’t look at people just by their looks, and she shouldn’t want anyone who is as thin as a stick.
Those who are as fat as pigs and only know how to have fun are not allowed.

If you have too many brothers and sisters at home, you can’t have one.
Anyway, after talking a lot, looking at the other person now, it seems like everything else is good except looks.
Huang Xiaoyan thought in her heart that her sister-in-law had advised her many times that as long as she agreed to get married this year, she would definitely be filial to her mother.
"Eat the food, Aunt Song. Comrade Xiao Huang, you are welcome to taste my cooking. I'm not bragging that there are few people here who can cook better than me."

He Yuzhu had already taken advantage of the time while serving the dishes to take a closer look at the other person's appearance. He was extremely satisfied, and the silly smile on his face became even more joyful.
The three of them ate together. Matchmaker Song also wanted to match each other, so she held both sides, but she was also more conscientious.
After realizing that both parties were interested, he also mentioned some innocuous bad things about both parties.
Of course, the first thing to be sure about He Yuzhu's side is that there are no old people, and there is no one to help him if anything happens. However, the neighbors in the yard are good, so there is no need to worry too much about this.
The conditions are laid out here. Everyone knows that as long as there is a mistress in charge of the house, life will not be bad in the future.
Huang Xiaoyan has three brothers, two sisters-in-law, three nephews and one niece. Her father passed away early, leaving only her mother.
