Chapter 113: If you don’t have good looks, you can make up for it with money
Around noon the next day, after Sha Zhu finished cooking, he went to find Liu Lan. Since he had been there in the morning, all he could think about was the sewing plane ticket he was still missing.
"Aunt, could you please call my Uncle Li over for me? I have something to ask him." Sha Zhu said happily.
"Stop, what did you call me? Say it again?" Liu Lan asked with eyes wide open.
"Aunt?"
"Aunt? When did I become your aunt?"
"You have such a close relationship with my Uncle Li, shouldn't I call you Aunt?"
"Silly Zhu, do you want to die? I won't help you scream." Liu Lan said angrily.
"Hehe, there's no outsider here, so what's wrong with shouting? Hurry up, help me call my Uncle Li." Sha Zhu said with a smile.
"Shazhu, do you know why you still don't have a wife?" Liu Lan said sarcastically.
"why?"
"Your mouth is so stinky. It's unbearable." Liu Lan said unhappily.
"Hehe, okay, just call Sister Liu! How about I pay for two meat dishes for you at noon?" Sha Zhu said.
"Really?" Liu Lan said with a smile.
"It's more real than gold, but you have to ask Uncle Li to come to the private room for me. This concerns my lifelong event."
"You are so stupid to dream about marrying a wife. What does your marrying a wife have to do with Lao Li?"
"Don't worry about it. Just call me back and I'll give you food. As for why?" Sha Zhu laughed, "Hehe, you'll know when I get married in a few days."
"Virtue, you are dreaming! I will go and call you."
……
After a while, Sha Zhu and Liu Lan entered the cafeteria's private room carrying three dishes.
"Zhu Zi, what do you want to talk to me about?" Li Huaide asked, "Liu Lan said you are looking for me for your lifelong event. It's already been said in advance! I don't have a wife to introduce to you."
"Uncle, my dear uncle, I don't need you to introduce me, but I really have something to ask you." Sha Zhu said exaggeratedly.
"No, calling you uncle makes me nervous. Tell me what's the matter. I will eat your food after you finish speaking." Li Huaide said with a smile.
"Uncle Li, this is a big deal for me, but to you, the factory director, it's just a small matter like your little finger. Uncle, do you have a sewing ticket? I'll buy it with money, do you have it?" Sha Zhu asked with a pitiful look.
"Sewing plane tickets?" Li Huaide asked in confusion, "I don't have one, but I can still find it. What do you want this for?"
"Hey, Uncle Li, I like a girl. She wants three turns and one ring. Isn't this just one turn of the sewing machine? So..."
"Hey, I was wondering what you were going to do! Indeed, it's time for you to get married. This is a small matter. I'll find it for you this afternoon."
As he spoke, Li Huaide picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
"Hehe, thank you Uncle Li, I'll pay you when the time comes." Sha Zhu said with a smile.
"Forget about the money. Just listen to your uncle Li more in the future. Let's eat now."
……
Time quickly came to the next day. Early in the morning, several people went to the steel rolling mill to ask for leave, and then went to Donglaishun to wait. In order to improve the status, Li Kangri set the blind date location there.
Near noon, Matchmaker Zhang brought Yu Li and her family of three to Donglaishun.
In order to settle the matter as quickly as possible, Li Kangri asked Xu Damao to tell Zhang the matchmaker to invite Yu Li's family as well.
When Yu Li's family heard that the blind date was at Donglaishun, they happily followed along.
After seeing someone coming, Xu Damao hurriedly went to greet them, "Aunt Zhang, here, here!"
Soon, several people sat down under Xu Damao's arrangement.
At this time, the three members of the Yu family were staring at the two people opposite them, wondering who was today's blind date.
The three of them all agreed in their hearts that today's blind date was Li Kangri.
Because in comparison, Li Kangri looked younger, and considering Sha Zhu's age, the three of them thought that he was Li Kangri's elder brother or father.
"Haha, let me introduce you," Xu Damao said with a smile, "This is my master Li Kangri, and this is my junior fellow apprentice. My master and I are here with him for a blind date today."
"What?" Yu's mother asked in surprise, "He, your master? That's your junior fellow apprentice? Did you make a mistake? They don't look alike? At this age..."
"This must be Aunt Yu!" Xu Damao said politely, "Listen to my explanation. Although my master is young, he is very capable! And my master is married, and so am I. Although my junior looks a little older, it has something to do with his job. He works in the cafeteria, and is surrounded by smoke and fire all year round, so he looks a little old. But it will be fine in the future. As the cafeteria director, he won't have to do so much work."
"Hey, how old are you?" Yu's mother asked Sha Zhu, whose face was red.
"Haha, I, I'm twenty-six."
"Twenty-six?" Yu's mother asked in surprise, "Twenty-six and still not married, can't it be..."
Yu's mother said, although she didn't say it out loud, but the meaning was obvious, if you don't get married at the age of 26, there won't be any problem, right?
"Haha, Sister Yu, can I call you that? Because I am Zhuzi's master." Li Kangri said.
"Ah! Sister Yu, this, hehe," Yu's mother said embarrassedly, "That's fine, after all, you are also his elder."
"Okay, then I'll call you Sister Yu," Li Kangri said, "The thing is, my apprentice's father left the city for work a long time ago, leaving behind a younger sister. My apprentice delayed his marriage because of taking care of his younger sister. Now that his younger sister is eighteen years old, he is considering his own affairs, so, hehe."
"Is that so? He is quite responsible," said Yu's mother. "But our Lily is only 20 years old this year. There is a six-year age difference!"
"Haha, Sister Yu, six years old is not too old. He's a boy, so he'll know how to care for others better when he's older, right?"
"Yeah, yeah!" Sha Zhu kept nodding.
"Another reason why my apprentice got married late is that he didn't want the girl with him to suffer, so he worked hard to make money and save money over the years. This year, he has saved almost all the money, so he thought of finding a partner." Li Kangri continued to deceive.
"Oh, so how much money did you save?" asked Yu's mother.
"Haha, not much, probably just over two thousand, and the tickets for three turns and one ring are all ready, right? Zhuzi?" Li Kangri asked.
"Yes, yes, I'm ready." As he said that, Sha Zhu immediately took out the ticket from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Seeing the tickets on the table that they had never seen before, the three members of the Yu family were stunned.
With a deposit of more than 2,000 yuan and a three-turn and one-ring ticket, he must be a wealthy man!
So Yu's mother immediately said, "Young man, what do you want to say?"
"Haha, aunt, my name is He Yuzhu." said Shazhu.
