Li Jianjun caught about ten fish today. Besides the five grass carp he gave to Shang Yunzhi, he also caught six large carp and four catfish.
Li Jianjun dislikes eating catfish, as these creatures eat even garbage bags soaking in water and are extremely filthy inside.
He gave the four catfish to Yan Bugui, who was overjoyed, as catfish are very oily.
He remembered that after his parents died, this Aunt Zhang took good care of him and sometimes even invited him to stay for meals at her home.
After thinking for a moment, Li Jianjun gave Aunt Zhang a large carp.
I currently have five large carp, one grass carp, and a dozen or so crucian carp left.
After a day of fishing, Li Jianjun was exhausted, so he put the remaining fish into the water tank.
Now, although he is a highly skilled cook, he doesn't want to cook at home.
"I wish there was someone who could cook for me every day."
Li Jianjun muttered to himself.
Given his current status and salary, hiring a worker wouldn't cost much, and he could have a delicious meal after get off work.
But Li Jianjun didn't plan to do that; he didn't know the hygiene conditions of people outside, so he didn't dare to use it easily.
Besides, what if someone takes advantage of the situation and steals the rice, flour, and oil stored at home? Wouldn't that be a case of losing more than you gain?
"Let's take one step at a time."
Li Jianjun ate something haphazardly and then lay down on the bed.
Looking at the time, it was only a little past seven in the evening.
There's not much entertainment in this world, and movies aren't showing yet today.
Li Jianjun lay on the bed, bored out of his mind, when he heard Shang Yunzhi's words from earlier that day.
Twin girls—that's what Yang Yunzhi is most interested in.
He's already tried mother and daughter, and if he could try twins... that would be absolutely amazing.
……
The next day, Monday, Shang Yunzhi took a day off when everyone else was at work and went to the family compound of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill to learn about Li Jianjun.
As Li Jianjun walked to the entrance of the family compound, he saw a group of women not far away, sewing shoe soles while chatting.
"Aunties, sisters-in-law, I'd like to ask you about someone. Does Li Jianjun live here?"
Jia Zhangshi was among these people, and he was still wondering to himself, "Why is another one asking about Li Jianjun?"
Is it possible that, like last time, they're going to introduce Li Jianjun to someone?
Having learned a great lesson from her past actions of spreading rumors about Li Jianjun, Jia Zhangshi never dared to speak ill of Li Jianjun behind his back again.
"Yes, Li Jianjun's family lives in this courtyard house."
Shang Yunzhi was secretly pleased; it seemed that Li Jianjun's address was not a lie.
"So, what's your assessment of Li Jianjun?"
Everyone present showered Li Jianjun with praise.
"Li Jianjun is a promising young man, and he's also very steady and reliable..."
If Shang Yunzhi had asked them this question two years ago, most people would have said Li Jianjun was dull-witted.
But when a 21st-century soul entered this body, it completely changed people's perception of him.
"It seems Yan Bugui wasn't lying."
After confirming this, Shang Yunzhi felt relieved enough to introduce his sister to Li Jianjun.
At the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, Shang Yunzhi, who had found Li Jianjun, directly finalized the time and place for their blind date.
"Jianjun, I'm going to your house for a blind date tomorrow at six o'clock, is that alright?"
Li Jianjun nodded; of course, he had no problem with it.
The thought of not being able to see the two sisters until tomorrow made Li Jianjun feel that the days were particularly hard to endure.
The next day arrived quickly, and Li Jianjun finally made it to the end of the workday and went straight to the barbershop to get himself groomed.
After getting a new hairstyle, I feel like my overall appearance has improved a lot.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Shang Yunzhi arrived at the courtyard house on time with his two younger sisters.
The middle-aged woman who was acting as an informant at the door widened her eyes when she saw the two pretty girls.
"These two girls look exactly alike, and they're both as beautiful as angels. Could they be here for a blind date?"
"Look at that man, isn't he the one who came to our compound a couple of days ago to inquire about Li Jianjun?"
It turns out they came prepared.
Sha Zhu was on his way home from get off work, pushing his bicycle, when he saw two stunningly beautiful girls following behind a man.
From behind, the two girls had incredibly beautiful figures, with particularly prominent feminine features, which immediately stirred up Sha Zhu's heart.
He pushed his bicycle quickly, then slowed down a couple of steps, and when he reached the two girls, he saw their faces directly and was immediately amazed, thinking they were fairies.
These two little girls are so beautiful, they look like fairies who stepped out of a painting.
Unintentionally, Shang Yunzhi glanced back, and Sha Zhu immediately recognized him.
"Brother Shang, it's you?" Shang Yunzhi and Sha Zhu's maternal grandmother's family lived in the same village. Sha Zhu was fostered at his maternal grandmother's house when he was a child, and he knew most of the people in the village.
"Zhu Zi, what a coincidence."
Since we're acquaintances, things will be much easier.
Sha Zhu has just divorced Jia Zhangshi and is currently in a period of frantically searching for a wife.
Shazhu had seen these two twin girls when they were very young.
After so many years apart, both of them have grown into beautiful young women.
Chapter 191 Silly Pillar Wants to Intercept
Calculating her age, she seems to be around twenty-two or twenty-three, which is a perfect match for her.
Sha Zhu immediately got an idea: if he were to marry either of these two girls, it would cause a sensation in the courtyard.
"Brother Shang, these must be your two younger sisters. They've grown so beautiful in the years we haven't seen them."
As Sha Zhu spoke, he kept glancing at the two sisters, his mouth practically watering.
Jingjing and Yingying felt extremely disgusted.
Sha Zhu's face naturally looked old; he appeared to be in his thirties or forties.
They were brought here by their brother for a blind date. What does this old man mean by that?
"Yes, when you were at your maternal grandmother's house, they were only five or six years old and hadn't fully grown up yet."
Sha Zhu took a liking to the two sisters, so naturally he wanted to win Shang Yunzhi over.
"Brother, we're almost home. Come on in and have a drink of water. I'll cook you a big meal today."
"You don't know yet, do you? I've been learning from a chef specializing in Tan Family Cuisine for the past few years, and I've mastered the essence of Tan Family Cuisine..."
Tan Family Cuisine...
Shang Yunzhi's eyes lit up.
If I could just have a bite of this, I would be content as an ordinary person.
Unfortunately, there are very few successors to the Tan family cuisine, and few people have the opportunity to enjoy such a meal.
"Zhu Zi, you're quite something now, you've become a successor of the Tan family cuisine."
Watching their brother chatting happily with Sha Zhu, Jingjing and Yingying pouted, expressing their dissatisfaction.
Yingying tugged at her brother's sleeve.
"Brother, we've come here today to..."
Shang Yunzhi then remembered his task for the day.
"Zhu Zi, let's do it another day. I have something very important to do today."
Sha Zhu still extended a warm invitation, and it was quite a feat to finally meet the two sisters.
"Come on, I'll treat you to a meal at a fancy restaurant. I won't cook anymore."
"I'll also buy you a few cartons of Daqianmen cigarettes and a few bottles of Dongjiu liquor."
This series of actions completely baffled Shang Yunzhi.
Did Zhu Zi suddenly strike it rich?
So generous.
If we're talking about the most expensive wine of this era, it's undoubtedly Dongjiu.
Although this brand disappeared after the 21st century, it was an absolutely prestigious brand in the 1960s, no less than Wuliangye.
A bottle of Dongjiu costs about seven or eight yuan, which is the standard living expenses for two people for a month.
"Zhu Zi, just say what you want to say directly, stop beating around the bush."
Shang Yunzhi wasn't someone who couldn't see things clearly; he had already guessed that Zhu Zi needed someone's help.
Sha Zhu scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed in front of the two sisters, and whispered in Shang Yunzhi's ear.
"Brother, to be honest, I'm quite old and still haven't found a partner. I wonder if these two younger sisters are married yet?"
Shang Yunzhi suddenly realized.
"not yet."
This made Sha Zhu even more enthusiastic.
"Then you can check me out, brother. I'm currently a cook at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, and I'm earning over thirty yuan a month... I also have two rooms at home..."
Sha Zhu was eager to explain his situation to Shang Yunzhi, but Shang Yunzhi didn't care about Sha Zhu at all.
He only earns a little over thirty yuan a month, while Li Jianjun earns 1,100 yuan a month, almost four times his salary.
