Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 149: Instructing He Yuzhu

Li Weidong waited in the pavilion for about ten minutes before Uncle Niu came out.

Li Weidong said jokingly, "Uncle Niu, are we not going to drink this time?"

Niu Ye's face flushed. He wanted to be more generous. He really couldn't bear to part with it. This was the first time in his life that he had drunk such good wine. He said to Li Weidong:
"Brother, this wine is delicious, but it's a little too little, and we brothers can't enjoy it to our heart's content.

So, next time we go to the pub, I'll buy you as much as you want."

Li Weidong laughed loudly and said to Mr. Niu, "Okay, let's do it next time."

Niu Ye also smiled and said, "Okay, let's go take a look at those old things."

After saying that, Li Ruidong followed Niu Ye out of Niu Ye's house and walked towards a remote courtyard.

When they arrived at the place, they found it was a small courtyard with one entrance, very remote. It was also the house of Niu Ye's ancestors, and was now used as a warehouse by Li Weidong and Niu Ye.

After entering the yard, Li Weidong and Niu Ye went to the basement, where they placed all the old items they had collected.

Niu Ye introduced all the old items he had collected to Li Weidong. Li Weidong listened carefully, and after Niu Ye finished speaking, Li Weidong said:
"Master Niu, how much did it cost in total? Is the money I gave you enough?"

"Brother, the total cost was two thousand two hundred yuan, and I paid two hundred yuan for it," said Uncle Niu.

"Okay, got it, Uncle Niu. Go to the tavern in the evening and I'll bring it to you. Also, I'm going to Tianjin in a while, and I'll give you this ten thousand yuan when I get back. You can take it as you wish. If it's not enough and I haven't come back yet, you can go to Chen Xueru or Xu Huizhen to get it. They're all family, and I've already made an agreement with them." Li Weidong said.

"Okay, that's fine. By the way, brother, I want to trouble you with something." Uncle Niu said a little embarrassedly.

"Hey, we're brothers, why are you being so polite to me? Just tell me if you have something to say." Li Weidong said with a smile.

"Here's the thing, my eldest son is currently working in the publicity department of the machine repair factory. Isn't that a bit inconvenient? Can you help me transfer him to the steel rolling mill?"

Also, my youngest son has graduated from technical secondary school and is waiting for assignment from the street office. I don't know what's going on, but he hasn't been assigned yet. Can you please ask?" Uncle Niu said embarrassedly.

"Hey! These are all small matters, don't worry! We brothers don't need to be so polite. I have something to do, so I'm asking for your help, right? I'll go back and find someone to do it." Li Weidong said with a smile.

"Okay, then you can find someone to pack up all those old things. I'll go back first." Grandpa Niu said with a smile.

"Okay." Li Weidong sent Uncle Niu out the door, then returned to the cellar and put all the old things into the small world.

Then he left the courtyard, locked the door, and headed towards Nanluoguxiang to see how Liang Ladi was doing.

Li Weidong walked straight into the yard where Liang Ladi was. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Dazhuang Mao and several others walking towards the gate.

"What are you guys going to do?" Li Weidong asked.

"Godfather, you're here."

"Godfather, Brother Ocean, invite us to go catch wild rabbits."

……

A group of children surrounded Li Weidong and chattered.

Li Weidong looked at them with a smile, then took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to Damao, saying:
"Okay, get out of here. Be careful." Damao took the five yuan from Li Weidong and said with a smile:
"Oh, I get it, godfather!"

After saying that, a group of people ran out.

At this time, the residents living in the front yard also heard the children's shouting and came out.

There were Wang Jianjun and his wife, but what surprised Li Weidong the most was that He Yuzhu and his sister also moved in.

"Brother Jianjun, sister-in-law, brother Zhuzi, sister Yushui, long time no see." Li Weidong said with a smile.

"That's right. We haven't seen each other for more than half a year, right?" Wang Jianjun also said with a smile.

"About that. The company has been quite busy lately," said Li Weidong.

"Weidong, I'm sorry for not being sensible before." He Yuzhu said.

"Hey, why are you talking about that? After all, we grew up together. Let's not talk about this. How is your work recently? Have you found a partner?" Li Weidong said to He Yuzhu with a smile.

"Hey, it's still the same. The work is just like that. My partner worked in our previous hospital, and now his reputation is not very good, so it's not easy to find a partner." He Yuzhu said.

"If you ask me, Zhuzi, you've been held back by that group of people, and you haven't found a clear goal. Looking for a partner now is like choosing a concubine. You have to have someone beautiful and have good working conditions. That's definitely not easy to find.

Actually, you just need to have a clear goal. For example, if I want someone who is beautiful and kind, there are plenty of them. Or if you want someone who has a good job and is virtuous, you can find one easily too. "Li Weidong said.

"Brother Weidong, please tell me about it. It's so difficult for me to find a partner now." He Yuzhu said seriously.

"Then let me tell you something. Honestly, your job isn't very good in the city, so if you want to find a pretty one, you should go to the countryside. The only downside to rural girls is that they don't have a fixed amount, but since you're a chef, it doesn't matter."

But if you want a girl from the city, let me tell you this: it's going to be very difficult to find a pretty one with your conditions. Even if I introduce you to a pretty one, she's bound to have some flaws. Do you understand?" Li Weidong said, looking at He Yuzhu.

After listening to Li Weidong's words, He Yuzhu fell into deep thought. After thinking about it, he felt that what Li Weidong said did make some sense.

"Brother Weidong, what should I do then?" He Yuzhu asked.

"No, don't ask me about these things. I have never been on a blind date. You have to find a matchmaker for this matter." Li Weidong said helplessly.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but said awkwardly:
"Brother Weidong, you don't know that I have such a foul mouth that I've offended all the matchmakers nearby. That's why no one is introducing girls to me for blind dates now."

Li Weidong looked at He Yuzhu speechlessly and asked him:

"What does a matchmaker do?"

"Ah? Isn't it the matchmaker who introduces girls to blind dates?" He Yuzhu replied.

"Yes, she introduced you to a blind date. Why did she introduce you to a blind date?" Li Ruidong asked again.

He Yuzhu fell into deep thought, thinking about this question for a long time before saying, "Is it for money?"

"Yes, if she wasn't doing it for the money, would she be working for you in vain? They are not stupid! You can do this by finding a few matchmakers and telling them directly that you want to go on a blind date. If it is successful, I will give you ten dollars as a thank you fee. Believe it or not, they will bring the girl to your house tomorrow." Li Weidong said.
