Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 128 Matchmaking
"I looked at the terrain. If the project is approved, the power station will be in the mountains behind Qinjiazhuang.

"It will be convenient for you to meet Qin Jingru by then. I'll ask his parents when they arrive. If they agree, I'll arrange it for you as soon as possible to save you from being distracted from your work and causing trouble," Li Weidong said.

"Hehe, Weidong, thank you." Squad leader Wang thanked Li Weidong with a smile on his face.

"Let's talk about you and Nan Yi. You two play well together. Your levels are about the same, so you just play well." Li Weidong said unhappily.

At this time, Qin Jingru brought up some water and said to Li Weidong, Squad Leader Wang and the other two:
"Leader, please drink some water first."

Squad Leader Wang quickly took the cup of water and said to Qin Jingru:

"Sister Jingru, stop working so hard. We're not thirsty. Come sit down and rest for a while."

Li Weidong and guard Xiao Zhang stared at Squad Leader Wang in amazement. Li Weidong thought to himself: You bastard took the water away, and you drank it while saying we weren't thirsty. Fuck you!

"Haha, sister Jingru, sit down for a while, let's chat." Li Weidong could only say with a smile, thinking in his heart how to deal with squad leader Wang when he got back, but he couldn't ruin his plan outside now, so he could only go along with him.

"Oh." Qin Jingru blushed, responded lightly, and sat down.

"Sister Jingru, what do you think of our squad leader Wang? Now it's a new society, and there's no need for us to follow the old rules. Just speak frankly. We are soldiers and we like to be straightforward." Li Weidong said to Qin Jingru with a smile.

"Brother Wang is fine." Qin Jingru said in a low voice with a red face.

After hearing this, Squad Leader Wang could hardly suppress the smile on his face, and his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Jingru, you're willing to date Squad Leader Wang, right?"

"Ah."

"Okay, your parents will probably be here soon, and I'll tell them then. Because our unit will be busy soon, we should settle your affairs as soon as possible, or just let you get married directly." Li Weidong said.

"Yeah." Qin Jingru still blushed, lowered her head, and responded softly.

Seeing Qin Jingru like this, Li Weidong felt embarrassed to ask any more questions, as he probably wouldn't get anything out of her.

"By the way, Lao Wang, how much is your monthly allowance now?" Li Weidong pretended not to know Squad Leader Wang's allowance and deliberately asked Squad Leader Wang.

"Probably over 8000 yuan. I'm not really sure about the exact amount, and I don't need it. Basically, Xiao Zhang and others bring it to me, and then I save it for a few months and then go to the bank to deposit it. Now I have saved about yuan." Squad Leader Wang said with his head held high.

"Fuck, you son of a bitch! You have so much money, and yet you always come to my office to buy cigarettes and alcohol. Don't you feel guilty about taking it?" Li Weidong was also shocked by Squad Leader Wang's savings, but he was also angry when he thought about him coming to his office every day to buy cigarettes and alcohol. Squad Leader Wang had just been busy showing off his family's wealth and forgot about Li Weidong, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Hey, leader, we can't say that. I'm just trying to deepen the relationship between us. You said that if I go to your office and I bring cigarettes with me, won't it seem like we are distant? Besides, if I bring cigarettes, I certainly won't be willing to buy good ones. I'll give you a cigarette, will you smoke it? Or not? If you smoke, it will strain your throat, and if you don't smoke, it won't look good. So I simply won't bring any, so you don't have to embarrass yourself." Squad Leader Wang said to Li Weidong with an expression that said "I'm doing this for your own good."

Li Weidong was speechless, thinking, "You're going to use the same scoundrel energy you used against me to find a partner, so what's my business?" But there was nothing I could do. After all, we're brothers. Just play along!

"How about this, Lao Wang, let's not pursue the past. When we go back, we will bring sister Jingru and call our brothers. We will go to Fengze Garden and you will make the arrangements. Do you think it's okay?" Li Weidong said.

"What? Fengze Garden? Are you playing landlord? If I take you to Fengze Garden, I will go bankrupt. There are more than 500 brothers in the guard battalion alone. According to the standard of five yuan, it will cost nearly three thousand. Add these good-for-nothings in your family, I can't even afford 3500 yuan. We can't go." Squad Leader Wang reacted violently and stood up and said loudly.

"Hey, who are you calling a glutton? You want to be beaten? I tell you, you have to treat us whether you want to or not. Today I'm going to punish you, the landlord. Why the hell did you save so much money? Are you saving it for having babies? Xiao Zhang, do you think your battalion commander should treat us?" Li Weidong scolded Squad Leader Wang, and then asked the guard Xiao Zhang.

"Hehe, Battalion Commander, I think the chief is right. You should treat everyone. After all, it's a happy event that your girlfriend came this morning. You should celebrate and let the soldiers in the battalion share in your joy. How nice!" Xiao Zhang said with a smirk.

"Hey, Chief, please stop bullying Brother Wang. There are so many people, who can afford to invite them? Brother Wang and I will buy some wedding candies and everyone can share in the good luck." Qin Jingru stood up and spoke for Squad Leader Wang.

"Then let me give Sister Jingru some face. You and Sister Jingru can go buy vegetables and let Nan Yi cook. We don't have to go to Fengze Garden. Is that okay?" Li Weidong said.

Squad leader Wang nodded reluctantly, while Qin Jingru asked anxiously:

"Brother Wang, do you still need to treat me? How much will it cost?"

"Jingru, there's nothing we can do. What can we do when we have a leader who is a living bandit? If we only buy vegetables, four or five hundred yuan will probably be enough. Nan Yi and I have a good relationship. When the time comes, I can just give him a pack of cigarettes from the leader." Squad Leader Wang said to Qin Jingru.

After hearing this, Li Weidong's mouth twitched, and he thought about going back and hiding all the cigarettes.

At this moment, Qin Shouye came back with a group of people. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Qin Jingru and Squad Leader Wang huddled together, whispering to each other.

"Ahem." Qin Shouye coughed twice. Qin Jingru saw that his uncle had brought his parents and his second uncle's family over, so he quickly took two steps back and distanced himself from Squad Leader Wang.

"Chief, let me introduce you. This is my second brother Qin Shoujia, and this is my third brother Qin Shouguo, who is also Jingru's father..." Qin Shouye introduced.

"Hello everyone, I'm Li Weidong, Wang Jianguo's leader. We came here to have fun and happened to chat with Village Chief Qin. Now I meet Comrade Jingru. Comrade Wang Jianguo and Comrade Qin Jingru get along quite well. Village Chief Qin and I decided to see if we can pair them up. So I asked Village Chief Qin to call you here. Let's sit down and chat for a while and see if it works out?" said Li Weidong.

"Yes, the leader is right. This is what happened. Come, let's sit down and talk." Qin Shouye said.
