Chapter 1144 A random bit of mandarin duck music
"Tell me quickly, what's going on with that girl?"
Seeing that Li Xuewu was still sitting on the stool by the wall, Zhao Yafang asked with amusement and anxiety, "Are you trying to make me happy?"
"Why haven't I heard that you have such resources?"
Sha Zhu glanced at Wang Yamei who came in from the west courtyard and said jokingly, "Could it be our Miss Wang?"
“Brother Zhu——!”
Wang Yamei suddenly heard his playfulness and hadn't reacted yet, but she was already dissatisfied.
She said angrily, "You are the only one who can give people nicknames. I wonder if your son will learn from you when he grows up!"
There are only a few people in the West Courtyard, and among those who are not married, there are only her and Xiaoyan.
But everyone knows the situation between Xiaoyan and Shen Guodong, all that’s missing is the certificate.
Wang Yamei, whose blind dates often failed, was given this nickname by Sha Zhu.
Young, outgoing, with high standards.
Wang Yamei's family conditions were not bad to begin with, and she only had two sisters, so she had no burden in life.
If it wasn't for the need to have a proper job so that she wouldn't get spoiled by school work on the streets, I could afford to keep her at home even if she didn't have a job.
Wang Yamei and her sister both took after their mother and were very good-looking. Add to that their other qualities and they were a popular couple.
But the more such a girl is, the more picky she is about her partner, and she may even be extremely arrogant.
In Wang Yamei’s own words: Don’t settle for less while you are young.
That's right. He is only 17 or 18 years old, so a year or two late is not a big deal.
The threshold of this family was in trouble, and was almost broken by the matchmaker.
My sister is a cadre in the Red Star Factory's art troupe, my mother is also an art cadre in the unit, and my father is a cadre in the textile system. The whole family is capable and there is no shortage of partners in this city.
It’s not like Zhao Yafang had not shown this little girl to her brother.
But she knew in her heart that her brother was not worthy of her.
It’s not that Wang Yamei’s working conditions at the West Yard Recycling Station are so good, or Zhao Yajun’s working conditions at the Red Star Factory are so poor.
In fact, if you take them alone, the two of them are a perfect match.
But every family has its own problems. She is the eldest daughter and can marry into the city without having to consider family conditions, but her younger brother Yajun is the eldest son.
The eldest son is the one who runs the household, and the whole family in Hongxing Village will have to rely on her younger brother for support in the future.
There are three boys in the family. The eldest went to the city, and the second and third ones didn’t know what would happen to them when they returned. They could only hope for the support of the eldest.
Even of the salary Zhao Yajun earns now, more than half is sent back home to pay for his younger brothers and sisters’ schooling and to buy medicine for his two elderly parents.
Zhao Yafang really wanted to find a city girl for her brother so that he could settle down here.
If you find a rural girl, she will be a burden to the whole family, just like her.
Because of her kindness, my mother-in-law knew that she contributed to the family and didn't care, even though it was her own salary, but this situation was very rare.
After getting married, if you always bring things back to your parents' home, there will be a fight with your husband's family sooner or later.
When Li Xuewu just came back, she was scolded by her father when she took money home.
The young couple can spend the money however they want, but it will be a different story when it comes to her parents’ home.
The Zhao family relied on the fact that they were poor but ambitious. Although they had the care and concern of the eldest daughter, they never asked her to bring money home. There was only contact between her father-in-law Li Shun and her father.
This is also due to the fact that her parents-in-law were open-minded and did not make things difficult for her. They even took good care of her.
Li Xuewen was the only one who loved her, but that didn't make her feel respected at home or in the village.
Let's talk about Li Xuewen. She said that she bought shoe soles for her parents and grandparents, made clothes for them, and gave them this and that, and they never said anything, and she was never stingy.
Her parents-in-law knew that they were unwilling to marry her at first, but now she has no complaints at all and has treated Li Xuewen like a useless man.
She has had everything she wanted, and has raised children. Even after experiencing so many things, she has matured mentally. She no longer says she doesn't want to live with her parents-in-law, let alone mention the family's money accounts.
She only helped Li Xuewu with the accounts and didn't even ask for Shen Guodong's salary.
She knew very well how difficult it was for a rural girl, even one as capable as she was, to integrate into an urban family, and it also depended on luck.
But from another perspective, her brother already has a family to take care of, and if his wife's family has another big family, it will be a disaster.
No matter how much the young couple earns in the city, they can't make up for the loss.
Zhao Yajun has always been a thoughtful person. He was cute and talkative when he was young, but when he got older, he understood the difficulties at home. The pressure made a young man have wrinkles.
No one understands her brother's cherishment and desire for moving to the city and for this job better than Zhao Yafang.
On the first night in the city, he secretly told his sister that as long as he could come to the city to support the family, he would do whatever his second brother said, even at the risk of his life.
In the matter of arresting Omiya Zheng, this boy proved his determination and courage with practical actions.
But Zhao Yafang was also scared enough, her brother was too thoughtful.
It would be good to find Wang Yamei, but seeing that the Wang family only has two daughters, one of them has to take the initiative to take care of the family in their old age.
It’s not like I haven’t heard Wang Yamei mention in casual conversation that her sister doesn’t want to find a partner now.
Who is Zhao Yafang? She is a rare college student who came from the countryside. She is very popular in school. It is no exaggeration to say that she has a keen eye.
Just look at the look and expression on Wang Yajuan's face when she sees Li Xuewu when she comes to pick up her sister, and then listen to Li Xuewen talk about the past.
Forget about it. Just look at how my second uncle-in-law recruited the entire art troupe to the Red Star Factory just for Wang Yajuan. The girl has been devoted to him for a long time, so how could she have the mind to find a partner?
Not to mention a girl like Wang Yajuan, no one could take their eyes off a man like this who could crush them with every move.
Even the little girl Wang Yamei has some interest in Li Xuewu.
But Li Xuewu ignored her completely and treated her as a girl, which made her want to find a partner.
If she really follows her sister's example, her parents' plan of relying on their daughter and son-in-law to support them in their old age will be ruined.
Zhao Yafang gave up the idea of bringing her brother and Wang Yamei together.
Putting herself in her brother's shoes, she knew that it was impossible for her brother to accept a son-in-law, and Wang Yamei would definitely not be able to tolerate her large family.
So, when Li Xuewu mentioned introducing a girl to Zhao Yajun and Sha Zhu asked if it was Wang Yamei, she was already certain in her heart that it was not her.
Because in this family, she and Li Xuewu have the best understanding of each other.
Or maybe both of them have top-notch emotional intelligence, and they know what's going on just by giving each other a glance.
She could see that Wang Yamei was not suitable for her brother, and Li Xuewu could see it even more.
-
"Hehe——how strong are we!"
When Sha Zhu heard Wang Yamei talking about his son, he smiled and raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Wang, I think you don't need to go on blind dates anymore. Just be my son's wife. I don't mind your noise."
"I think your son is too noisy!"
Wang Yamei rolled her eyes, stood next to Li Xuewu and said, "Why am I in such a hurry to find a partner? My brother hasn't introduced anyone to me yet!"
She didn't shy away from suspicion and just hugged Li Xuewu's neck, saying intimately: "Brother, my parents and sister are helpless. I'm going to be an old maid who can't get married."
"People say that I am too picky. Lu Zhishen's fate and Lin Daiyu's heart. Please think of a solution for me and introduce one to me first."
"Is there any way to intercept this?"
The child in Zhao Yafang's arms was taken over by Li Xuewen, who had just pushed a cart into the yard.
Li Xuewen teased the child and greeted Li Xuewu and others.
When he heard his wife say that Li Xuewu was acting as a matchmaker here, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Li Xuewu glanced at his elder brother and knew that he had something in his heart that he had not said.
In fact, there is no need to say it, it’s nothing more than his dark history.
That’s not my dark history, that’s the path I took to get here!
"Cough-cough-"
Li Xuewu coughed lightly, looked around with amusement, and said, "I'm not bragging, but my matchmaking success rate is still 100% so far!"
"Let me count, how many pairs there are——"
It was after get off work, and he was with his family, good brothers and good friends. There was no way he would put on airs about work.
As if deliberately praising himself, he counted on his fingers: "Biaozi and Mai Qinglan, Zhuzi brother and Diliya, our third child and Yuxiu, Yuxiu elder brother and Han Yating..."
You won’t know if you don’t count them, but you will be shocked if you count them.
Apart from the large number of pairs, the success rate of this matchmaking is truly 100%. It turns out that the most suitable position for Deputy Director Li is the trade union!
"Brother! You have to follow me first!"
Wang Yamei hugged Li Xuewu's neck and swung him, saying coquettishly, "Help me save one!"
She is a grown-up girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. Although she calls Li Xuewu brother, they have no relationship at all. Most people would have been unable to stand it.
Even if they are cousins, they are so old and can still make noises at such a close distance.
Seeing that Wang Yamei was about to sit on Li Xuewu's lap, even his own sister Li Xue would not do that.
Otherwise, why would people say that Wang Yamei has such a personality, a little bit willful and capricious. There are two girls in the family, and she is the younger one. The whole family spoils and takes care of her, and she is also with Li Xuewu.
Although she didn't call him brother-in-law, she had called him that many times in the past and had long treated him as her real brother-in-law.
The two of them grew up together, and she knew as much about Li Xuewu as Li Xuewen, and had even watched the live broadcast.
She may be disgusted and picky about other men, but she has complete trust in Li Xuewu.
Her parents were like debt collectors, helping her choose a partner like they were choosing a prince consort, but she didn't like any of them and even didn't listen to her parents.
But when it comes to Li Xuewu, she trusts him more than she trusts her parents.
Li Xuewu was both angry and amused when he saw her acting like a spoiled brat in front of so many people. He helped her stand up straight and scolded her, "What's wrong with you? You're already a grown-up girl, but you still think you're a child?"
Wang Yamei was not afraid of him at all. She thought to herself, why didn’t you treat me as a grown-up girl when you and my sister were in the room... and even lied to me that I was standing at the door to keep watch!
To say that she is not afraid is conditional. She was not afraid before, but after experiencing it several times after Li Xuewu came back, she is still afraid.
Especially when Li Xuewu got angry, even Lao Biaozi and the others were silent.
At this moment, when Li Xuewu scolded her, he also had a doting smile on his face. She knew even more that her brother-in-law would definitely keep an eye on her.
For example, her job is lower-level than that of a salesperson or some other position in a public institution, but the salary and benefits are not low-level at all.
Not to mention people far away, her salary is the same as that of a salesperson at the street supply and marketing cooperative.
She can get the benefits that the supply and marketing cooperative cannot get.
Eat well, use things well, and if you need anything, it can be conveniently delivered to your home.
No matter how good an organization is, it is impossible for them to really treat you as a family member.
But here, as long as Li Xuewu is here, she feels like she is at home.
Her parents have never come to see her. She is very clear-headed and might suffer injustice anywhere, but only here does she feel safe and at ease.
So, even at home, she never heard her parents urging her sister to find a partner.
It seemed as if this topic had become a part that was deliberately ignored at home, even though she knew that her sister and Li Xuewu did not do that.
But from the fact that she can come here to work and her sister can go to work at the Red Star Factory, it is not difficult to see that Li Xuewu still takes care of them.
So, instead of pretending to be ignorant, it is better to be open and honest. Even if she doesn't call him brother-in-law, her brother-in-law can still do nothing about her.
"You really want me to introduce you?"
Li Xuewu looked at his cheap sister-in-law who was clinging to him, pointed at Pazile who was standing nearby and watching the fun, and said with a smile: "What do you think of him?"
Wang Yamei: “Him?”
Paziler: “Me?”
Shazhu: “What!”
……
Because it is evening, those who should finish work have finished work, and those who should leave work have left work.
Li Xuewu came back and a circle of people gathered in the outer courtyard.
Everyone just watched Wang Yamei act coquettishly and laughed at the joke.
Unexpectedly, Li Xuewu really used a trick to matchmake two people at random. He chose Pazile, who had returned from home leave, the man who came back from the border with Li Xuewu with his girlfriend.
He used to be Li Xuewu’s soldier. His home on the grassland is gone, and he only has this girl.
Following Li Xuewu back to the capital, he first joined the Public Security Brigade and then the Third Guard Regiment. His sister Diliya worked at the West Courtyard Recycling Station. Together with Xilin and Ge Lin who came back with her, they became a family with the help of Li Xuewu.
Diliya was also introduced to Sha Zhu by Li Xuewu. Although there is a big age difference between them, Sha Zhu is in good condition and knows how to care for others. Now the couple even has a child. The girl can be said to have settled down and truly become a city dweller.
Although Pazile was promoted to deputy battalion commander in the Third Regiment, he still had no place to live and was alone. He even came back here during his family leave.
He was like an eagle on the grassland, with no place for him to land.
Now, Li Xuewu pointed his finger, and the gears of fate started to turn. Two people who had met many times but never spoken to each other seemed to have a connection after looking at each other in surprise.
This connection was somewhat baffling, but after looking at each other, it seemed as if there was a little attraction between them unexpectedly.
Even if Wang Yamei has never spoken, you can still hear and see her family background and personality. She has the kind of stubbornness and boldness of a prairie girl, which is very interesting.
When Wang Yamei looked at Pazile, she unexpectedly saw some of the temperament that Li Xuewu possessed after returning from the south, especially his current identity, which made her feel somewhat familiar.
This is a real man, reserved and steady, not comparable to those kids on the street.
The onlookers were laughing and surprised at first, but when the two of them looked at each other without saying anything, everyone was stunned.
"What? No, no—"
Just as Pazile was looking at Wang Yamei and Wang Yamei was looking at Pazile, Shazhu jumped out and waved his hands repeatedly, saying no.
He looked at Li Xuewu seriously and said, "How can you joke like that? Wang Yamei's family has introduced a date to her."
"Oh, your family introduced you to someone?"
Before Li Xuewu could speak, Pazile asked about Wang Yamei: "Then why did you ask Brother Wu to introduce you to someone?"
"It's a waste. I didn't like any of them."
Wang Yamei just stared at Pazile and said as if no one was around: "Why didn't I notice you before? Don't you know how to speak?"
"Ouch—look what you've done!"
Sha Zhu was anxious, and seeing the two of them like this, he quickly said to Li Xuewu, "Quickly persuade them and say that you were just joking."
"Hey! Brother Zhu, I noticed something is wrong with you——"
Shen Guodong smiled and pointed at Sha Zhu who looked anxious and said, "They are just looking for a date, why are you so anxious? What else do you have in mind?"
"It's just—"
Xiaoyan had just come from the west courtyard, so she only heard a rough outline of what was going on, but she had already seen something between the two people who were "looking at each other". When she heard Shazhu trying to interrupt, she said angrily, "You still want to break up the couple, but we don't agree."
Now even a fool can see that Wang Yamei is interested in Pazile, and Pazile also thinks Wang Yamei is cute.
Li Xuewu looked at Sha Zhu with amusement and pointed out his little trick: "Don't worry, sooner or later, you will have to call me sister-in-law--"
"Hahaha--"
The people in the outer courtyard finally understood what Sha Zhu meant, and it turned out he was here.
He was older than both Pazile and Diliya, but following Diliya, he had to call Pazile "Big Brother", even though he was a little embarrassed to say that.
However, if Pazile marries Wang Yamei, who is younger than him, then Shazhu will have to call Wang Yamei "sister-in-law" instead of Pazile.
The story of tears and laughter is so interesting.
Look at Li Xuewu, when he got angry, no one in the yard started talking, but he was the first to get anxious, hitting people with a hammer left and a stick right.
I am afraid that in the future I will have to call Wang Yamei, who is only 17 or 18 years old, "sister-in-law". That would be so embarrassing.
Those who know him would think that his wife is young, while those who don’t would think that his brother-in-law is not serious.
Because the people in the outer courtyard were laughing and making noises, the two people who were looking at each other also looked away.
Neither said yes nor no.
Only then did Pazile, who was always serious, smile appear on his face, and Wang Yamei no longer begged Li Xuewu to introduce her to someone.
Even Diliya, who heard the noise, came out with her child to watch the fun.
When she heard that Sha Zhu almost ruined her own brother's blind date, she was so angry that she wanted to strangle him to death.
"Hey, listen to my explanation, my dear, spare my life! It hurts! It hurts!"
-
"Second brother! Hehe——"
As Li Xuewu and his elder brother Xuewen and his family entered the yard, they heard Li Xuecai greeting them from behind.
"When did you come back?"
He glanced at his third brother and saw that his hands were empty, which did not look like he had just returned home.
Li Xuecai chuckled, helped him carry the bag, and explained, "I came back in Brother Guodong's car in the afternoon."
"You went out and did some crazy stuff right after you got back?"
Li Xuewu looked at him with amusement, then looked back at home and asked, "Dad is back too?"
"No, Dad is reluctant to part with the Chinese medicinal herbs grown in the greenhouse, and he doesn't trust others to take care of them."
Li Xuecai complained a little: "I can't stand it anymore. I haven't been down the mountain for a long time. I almost don't know the way home."
"Do something good——"
Li Xuewu patted him on the back and asked, "Is everything okay on the mountain? Is Dad okay?"
"Nothing can happen. Everything is peaceful."
Li Xuecai walked into the house first without any hesitation, greeted his mother and second sister-in-law who were talking in the house, and then went to tease the chattering Li Shu.
Seeing the eldest brother and his family enter the house, Liu Yin complained with a smile: "Why didn't you come back for so long? I just heard you guys talking outside."
"Isn't it just learning martial arts--"
Zhao Yafang explained with a smile: "They said they would introduce a date to Yajun, but before they could say anything, they brought Wang Yamei and Pazile together first."
"Who? Xiaomei from the West Courtyard?"
Liu Yin looked at her second son in surprise, glared at him, and said, "How old are you? You're acting as a matchmaker for others."
"If it's not suitable, it's a lifelong thing for both the man and the woman. It's just nonsense."
She was not scolding her son for being ignorant, but reminding him not to take on responsibilities.
After all, the matter between Wang Yamei and Pazile is an outside matter, so it is convenient to say anything about it.
But it’s my eldest daughter-in-law’s younger brother, and it’s ultimately a family matter.
If it is not handled properly, it will not only affect family harmony, but also lead to complaints.
Zhao Yafang understood what her mother-in-law said, but she did not care about her cautious attitude.
After two years of living together, she already knows very well what kind of person her mother-in-law is.
This caution is not because of the fear that their family will take advantage, but because of the fear that they will be blamed.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult to get along with. Although she is not your biological mother, you have to live with her and take care of her until she grows old. And it is the daughter-in-law who sends her away.
Zhao Yafang knew very well what a daughter-in-law should think, so she turned her gaze to her second brother-in-law. The two of them already had a tacit understanding.
Compared to what her mother-in-law said, she actually believed more in Li Xuewu's reliability.
The way her second brother-in-law does things is very similar to her personality. He won't say anything unless he is absolutely sure.
He must have had the upper hand and had seen the conditions, so he brought it up to her.
When she was in the outer courtyard, she also knew that there must be a reason why Li Xuewu had been reluctant to tell her about the girl's situation. After all, it was a family matter.
So when I saw Li Xuewu trying to match Wang Yamei up, I wasn't really worried.
How can the family ignore her?
If Li Xuewu wants to say something, he will definitely find a safe environment and occasion to say it.
You see, Li Xuewu seems to be bragging about his matchmaking ability. He can make every woman he helps successful. This is not like other matchmakers who are good at talking and deceiving both sides. Instead, he just knows how to judge people.
If a leader fails to judge people correctly, problems will arise.
Moreover, their way of thinking and consideration of problems are much better than those of ordinary people.
It would be more accurate to say that Li Xuewu's matchmaking is based on personal experience, judging the personalities and conditions of both parties, doing things in a serious and normal way, and taking into account the future development of both parties and the influence of the family in this marriage.
Given Li Xuewu's cautious personality, he would prepare at least three emergency plans for his work. For him, such a simple matter as matchmaking was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, a waste of talent.
Now that he is back home, with everyone in the house as his family, Li Xuewu can say whatever he wants to say.
Because Li Xuewu knew that she had the final say on his brother Zhao Yajun's marriage.
Not to mention that she is a university teacher and the eldest daughter in the family, just because she wants to arrange for her younger brother to live in the city and settle down, no one in the family dares to disagree. Is there anyone more capable than her to arrange a good future and a good life for her younger brother?
It was only because of her that Zhao Yajun, who was taken care of by Li Xuewu, was able to enter the city and the factory.
Why did she let Li Xuewu manage the accounts? She didn't ask for a penny and still worked hard.
Li Xuewen once told her that as a family, money can be sorted out and repaid, but the affection for each other in times of difficulty cannot be calculated and repaid.
Otherwise, you will see Li Xuewen bragging that he makes decisions on major matters at home, while Zhao Yafang makes decisions on minor matters.
This is not bragging. When it comes to such important ideological issues, only Li Xuewen has the clearness to handle them. Even Zhao Yafang thinks that what her lover says makes sense.
Of course, such a major event that requires Li Xuewen to make the decision only happens once in three to five years.
"He is a relative of our factory leader, and he works in our security department."
Li Xuewu sat at the square table with his elder brother and sister-in-law. Ji Yuxiu held Li Tang in her arms, and the whole family listened to him introduce the girl's situation.
"What happened to the Security Department?"
Others didn't notice anything, but Zhao Yafang had already sensitively sensed that Li Xuewu had something else in mind, so she took the initiative to ask, "Is there some complicated relationship, or is there something wrong with the girl..."
"The family relationship is normal. My father is a cadre at the Beijing Steel Plant and my mother is in the Youth League Committee."
Li Xuewu introduced slowly: "She has three older brothers, all of whom are cadres. She is the youngest and joined the factory after graduating from junior high school this year."
Seeing my sister-in-law frowning slightly, I knew she had some doubts.
This family is definitely not something Zhao Yajun could afford, especially as he is just a junior high school graduate.
She didn't know who the factory leader Li Xuewu mentioned was, but with relatives taking care of her in the factory, this girl would definitely not lack opportunities.
In order for Li Xuewu to introduce her to her on his own initiative, he must have made arrangements with her relatives.
Then it’s not hard to guess the few reasons. There is definitely something wrong with this girl.
Li Xuewu didn't care about his sister-in-law's frown, and continued to introduce: "The girl is good-looking, tall enough, and has a simple and honest personality..."
"It's just that he's a little too honest."
"Stupid?"
When Zhao Yafang heard Li Xuewu say this, her first guess was that this girl was a fool.
But before Li Xuewu could answer, she rejected this guess in her heart.
Who is Li Xuewu?
He is her brother-in-law, Zhao Yajun's leader, and a very reliable person.
Especially when talking about this at home, my mother-in-law and her family are all listening. No matter what, he would never introduce a fool to his brother.
Besides, these days, I’ve heard of fools getting married, but I’ve never heard of a fool graduating from junior high school and getting a job in a factory.
"Haha, I'm not stupid—"
Li Xuewu found it quite funny when he thought about what this girl said and did.
Especially the things her uncle nagged at her, she found them even funnier.
This is Xia Zhongquan’s younger sister’s child, and the two families get along very closely.
He is educated. Do you think his sister can find a farmer?
Several families were intermarried, and they were all cadre families, and they were all very fertile.
Let me put it this way, his sister's family has four children, three boys and one girl, which makes them the family with the fewest children among their close families.
Coincidentally, all these families gave birth to boys, except for Wang Lu, a girl.
Cousins, cousins, from childhood to adulthood, this girl has become the jewel of several families.
These naughty boys can form a platoon when they get together, and seeing Wang Lu is like seeing the platoon leader.
The older ones pamper her, the younger ones protect her, the older brothers and sisters give in to her and take care of her. It would be strange for a girl from such a family to have any ideas.
So Li Xuewu said that this girl is not stupid, but the environment she grew up in did not allow her to grow up smart, so she just needs to speak up for what she wants.
No? Who dares not to give it to her? All the children of the same generation have to give in to her.
So just listen, this kid's words can hit you right in the lungs.
It wasn't intentional on her part, but she had been like this since she was a child. Her parents raised her like a princess.
I have graduated from junior high school and have no chance to go to high school. There is really no place to go to school, so I have to go out to work.
Would people in ordinary workplaces be willing to let their daughters suffer?
It's a mess outside, so naturally we'll send it to whichever place is safe.
I heard that the Red Star Factory is the most stable and my uncle is the chief engineer there.
You say he is the factory leader, he is in charge of industrial technology. You say he is not the factory leader, he is also present at meetings.
He is in charge of the technology of the entire factory, the only thing missing is the title of deputy director.
It’s also because the current system of the factory’s management committee is not standardized, otherwise one would have to be arranged.
But he has power in his hands, and at least he has face in front of Li Xuewu.
Wang Lu got into trouble, but nothing happened to her. Li Xuewu protected her and arranged for her to work in the Security Department. She had even less trouble in the future.
Li Xuewu first introduced Wang Lu’s basic situation to his sister-in-law in detail.
She also recounted in detail what happened to Wang Lu at the International Hotel, and how the uncle and nephew met Zhao Yajun in her office, and how her uncle personally asked about Zhao Yajun.
In private, Xia Zhongquan met with Li Xuewu again and asked about Zhao Yajun's situation in detail.
The meaning is very clear, Wang Lu definitely did not refuse.
Wang Lu's family also agreed, so Xia Zhongquan was asked to help.
In fact, being parents is worrying enough. With Wang Lu's conditions, it's hard to find any kind of guy she wants. It's hard to choose.
Someone like Zhao Yajun would never be favored by such a large family.
But things are different now. This is not the future, where a person who is unmarried is considered a girl in the household registration book.
What happened to Wang Lu at the International Hotel eventually spread, at least many people knew about it privately.
But even though he knew it, he rarely paid attention to it in front of her or behind her back.
Xia Zhongquan's niece, do you think Xia Zhongquan is easy to mess with just because he only cares about technology?
It was obvious that Li Xuewu had to take care of the people, so who wouldn't know what was going on?
So this girl seemed to be carefree and worked hard in the security department without being affected at all. I heard that the foreigner even felt sorry about it.
Any man would fall for such a pure girl like this.
He treated Wang Lu as his muse, while Wang Lu treated him as just another stranger, not even her ex-boyfriend.
If it weren’t for the beautiful foreign stories he told, Wang Lu would never have thought of dating him.
It’s just that the way she thinks of being in a relationship is different from the way foreigners think of being in a relationship.
At this time, girls from respectable families think of dating as just being friends.
In other words, first get to know each other, then the family members meet, and finally the organization reviews. If you don't have any unreasonable expectations before this step, you can dream on.
At best, they will let you hold hands after your family members have met you, but that must be when they are not around.
Of course, not all children from decent families are like this.
But at least that's the case with Wang Lu. She never thought about how to date that person, or how to go abroad, or how to see the outside world.
You say she is not stupid, but she still did these stupid things. If you say she is stupid, there is no one in the unit who is more noisy than her.
Some people outside talked about her private affairs, but after being transferred to the Security Department and getting along with these colleagues for a few days, everyone who saw her praised her and liked her.
It can be seen how powerful the naive person is that even the tough guys in the security department can't stop him.
No matter how many rumors you spread, it can't stop her from looking at you with her clear and stupid eyes.
If you say something bad about her, you will feel guilty and blame yourself.
"She is such a girl, a little too honest."
Li Xuewu explained everything to her sister-in-law, including the criticisms and impressions of her by her colleagues at work.
It was very objective and comprehensive, but Zhao Yafang could still hear Li Xuewu's inclination.
She frowned and thought, but Liu Yin was upset. She felt that her son shouldn't have introduced this one. It was noisy enough just by listening to it.
But this was something the second son and the eldest daughter-in-law were talking about. If Zhao Yafang wanted to refuse, she had to do it. She could say it first, but not after her son had spoken, as that would be awkward.
The other people in the family didn't dare to interrupt.
The old lady and the great-grandmother have long stopped taking care of household affairs. Their son and daughter have become grandparents now. Is there still a need for them to be in charge?
Liu Yin didn't say anything, and neither did Gu Ning and the third brother and his wife.
In fact, Li Xuewen could still ask, because he is the brother-in-law and the girl was introduced by his own younger brother, so of course he has the right to ask.
But what is he asking? With my brother's way of thinking and eloquence, I will give him the opportunity to ask questions.
So he stood up consciously, took his crying son and went to ride on the big horse.
He needs to give his wife enough time to think and study, and that's all he can do.
Li Xuewen also knew that the two smartest and most worldly-wise people in the family were already there, so was there any need for him to worry about anything?
The nickname of the good-for-nothing young master is not for nothing. If one day it really comes to his turn to be the boss of this family, then this family will be finished.
Just like he said, he makes the decisions on big matters and his wife makes the decisions on small matters.
Is it really necessary for him to step in for such a trivial matter as introducing a girl to his brother-in-law?
He just treated his son like a slave, and helped Li Tang ride on his neck, bouncing around.
Children gather together, no too many, no too few. Li Tang can ride a big horse, so what's wrong with Li Ning?
The third nephew, Li Xuecai, saw his second nephew looking at his eldest nephew curiously, and after being poked by Ji Yuxiu, he immediately started to work like a slave.
My goodness, there is a big fat boy on each of the brothers’ necks, and the big fat boy is giggling. The two brothers feel embarrassed when they look at each other.
If I had the talent to rule the world, wouldn't I be sitting there advising on important family matters?
Why is this so!
The two college students from Old Li’s family!
"Xuewu, tell my sister-in-law whether this girl has..."
Zhao Yafang was a very smart person. After thinking for a moment, she looked at Li Xuewu seriously and asked, "Whether she has any actual feelings for that foreigner is what's important."
Of course she knew that since Li Xuewu introduced her, it meant that the girl was a girl.
But she also had to make sure whether this girl was just any girl.
It's not okay to fall in love with everyone you meet. You can be simple-minded, but you can't be without underwear.
"I didn't handle this matter. It was handled by my colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Confidentiality."
Li Xuewu introduced: "Someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs works part-time as the deputy general manager of the International Hotel."
"It was a special situation. As soon as a slim man was discovered, the two of them met three times in total, and they were all in the lobby, and they talked a lot."
He paused, then continued, "If there really is something wrong, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs won't tell us, and the Ministry of Confidentiality won't allow it either."
"As for feelings, I suspect that girl doesn't even know what feelings are."
Li Xuewu chuckled and shook his head slightly, saying, "It can be seen that the flowers grown in the greenhouse are very fragile."
"What do you think? I want to hear your opinion on martial arts."
Zhao Yafang had understood what Li Xuewu meant, and she said seriously, "You have seen that girl, and you understand the situation."
"We are a family. You brought Yajun up, and my sister-in-law trusts you completely."
"You also think this is a rare opportunity, right?"
Li Xuewu already understood his sister-in-law's mentality. Marrying this girl was like finding a bargain.
A pearl is covered with dust. If you can see through the dust and know that the pearl is still a pearl, then you have found a bargain.
Especially this girl's family background and personality.
If it really succeeds, it would be an understatement to say that Zhao Yajun has worked less for thirty years.
With Li Xuewu as a matchmaker, Zhao Yafang's only worry was whether the two of them could succeed.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let me talk about Yajun's work first," Li Xuewu said to his sister-in-law softly, "He is going abroad this time to perform security tasks. If he can settle the marriage and get married after returning, the organization will also..."
He didn't finish what he was saying, but Zhao Yafang already understood.
Not everyone can go abroad. It is a test as well as an honor.
If Zhao Yajun can successfully complete the tasks assigned by the organization, he will definitely be promoted when he returns.
This opportunity fell on Zhao Yajun's head. If he said it was not due to Li Xuewu, who would believe it?
Then again, if one goes out with an engagement and comes back to get married, will the promotion situation be the same as if one goes out without an engagement and comes back to get married?
Going out to get married is for the organization, sacrificing oneself, going through tests, and getting married after successfully completing the mission. It is the blossoming and bearing of fruits.
When an organization appoints cadres, it must look at their personal circumstances. If they have a partner, that must be recorded and filed. Getting promoted after getting married is another matter altogether.
Her brother will only have a few opportunities like this in his life. The higher he jumps in the first promotion, the better. All subsequent progress will have an inevitable causal relationship with the first progress.
On the contrary, Xia Zhongquan is also an old fox. If his niece can marry Zhao Yajun who is about to go abroad to perform a security mission, who would dare to say anything? His reputation will be restored in an instant.
Li Xuewu didn't say what he was thinking. He just explained the reason to his sister-in-law. Zhao Yafang is not Wang Lu, so there is nothing she can't understand.
