Chapter 224 Another blind date
Chapter 224 Another blind date
The next day, the weekend.
After a night's rest, Li Kailang regained his energy and spirit.
"I don't have anything to do today, so I'll go buy some wood to make up for the shortfall."
"By the way, buy some more oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. They're almost all gone. Also, buy some more glass bottles."
"I have gasoline on hand, so I can use a glass bottle as a Molotov cocktail to make up for the lack of projectiles."
Burning Jia Shizhong to death with a Molotov cocktail was a reminder to Li Kailang.
In the absence of weapons such as grenades and mortars, Molotov cocktails are an excellent way to attack the enemy.
Thinking of this, Li Kailang packed his things and prepared to go out.
"Squeak-"
As soon as he went out, Li Kailang saw Sha Zhu carrying the deaf old lady into the hanging flower gate.
"Old lady, from now on, just let me do this. You don't have to go by yourself. It's so cold this day. You should just stay at home and sleep."
"You silly child, what do you know!" The deaf old lady gently patted Shazhu's head.
"The old lady is quite old, she is not afraid of doing this, and the street office can't arrest her either."
"But you can't do that. You are still young and need to get married. If you are caught, I, the old lady, will be the criminal."
Hearing this, Sha Zhu said helplessly: "Yes, yes, the old lady is right!"
The deaf old lady knew that Sha Zhu didn't listen, so she slapped her head again.
"You are still stubborn, kid. Don't get involved in the old lady's affairs. The old lady is too old for them to catch us."
The two of them were talking and laughing, looking at such a warm scene, it seemed as if they were a family.
The deaf old lady also noticed Li Kailang looking at her and immediately shut up: "Bad luck!"
Sha Zhu also saw Li Kailang. As Li Kailang stared at him, his body shook involuntarily.
"Don't be afraid, child. With the old lady here, he won't dare to do anything to you!" the deaf old lady comforted.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen people walk?" The deaf old lady stretched out her cane and waved it proudly.
"Qi!" Li Kailang glanced at them with contempt, crossed his arms and just stared at them.
Seeing Sha Zhu's body shaking uncontrollably, he quickened his pace and went to the central courtyard.
"Huh~" Sha Zhu breathed a sigh of relief until he no longer felt Li Kailang's gaze.
The deaf old lady said stubbornly: "Child, why are you afraid of Li Kailang? I have your grandma to support you, so you can beat him without worry, he won't dare to beat you!"
"Hehe~" Sha Zhu laughed helplessly twice.
"Grandma, I can't beat him, even if you back me up!"
"Why is it useless! With grandma here, Li Kailang won't dare to hit you!" The deaf old lady was very tough.
"Grandma, please stop talking!"
Sha Zhu didn't want to mention this at all. The painful experience was still vivid in his mind.
"You silly child, what are you afraid of!" The deaf old lady looked at the frightened look on Sha Zhu's face and said no more.
The deaf old lady thought to herself, "What a pity! If Sha Zhu really dares to hit Li Kailang, then Yi Zhonghai will still be the master of the yard."
The deaf old lady knew clearly what was going on. She just wanted to use Sha Zhu to test Li Kailang's ability.
I didn't expect Shazhu to be so cowardly and afraid to fight.
"Alas, the yard will never be peaceful again!" The deaf old lady shook her head helplessly and was carried to the backyard by Sha Zhu.
In the front yard, Li Kailang watched Sha Zhu's back disappear and smiled disdainfully.
"Isn't it just reselling food coupons? You act as if no one knows about it. Do you really think you have done it perfectly?"
As a five-guarantee household, the deaf old lady is given coupons and money by the street office every month.
After all, she was still being supported by Yi Zhonghai, and she didn't need many tickets in a month, so she just sold them.
Every time she got tickets, the deaf old lady would sell them as quickly as possible, and Sha Zhu was always present every time she sold tickets.
As time went by, everyone knew that the deaf old lady was reselling tickets, but no one knew her specific trading location.
Seeing that the deaf old lady was a five-guarantee household, had no descendants, and lived in an excellent courtyard, people were too lazy to report her.
"If you make me unhappy, I will report you sooner or later, and take away your status as a five-guarantee household!"
"Business matters!"
Li Kailang was about to leave when someone else walked in.
"Hey, Xiao Li, you're up now. Are you free now? I have something to talk to you about?"
"Wang Po, why are you here so early in the morning!" Li Kailang said helplessly.
The person who came was none other than Matchmaker Wang. It had been almost three months since she last came.
The reason why Matchmaker Wang could say this is that Li Kailang is the laziest among all the courtyard houses in the surrounding area.
Which child can sleep until eleven or twelve o'clock? Sometimes Li Kailang never goes out and the door is always closed.
If someone hadn't knocked on the door, everyone would have thought Li Kailang had gone out.
Therefore, not to mention the envy of Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangqi, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang and others in the courtyard.
Even the people in the surrounding courtyards envied Li Kailang and tried to follow his example, but they were beaten up in return.
The instigator was completely unaware of this.
After all, not everyone is like Li Kailang, who has a good job, no elderly parents or children to take care of, and one person’s food feeds the whole family.
Li Kailang replied: "I have nothing to do right now, what does Wang Po want to talk to me about?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I have something to ask you."
Grandma Wang said sternly, "Xiao Li, you are already quite grown up and have a good job now. Have you ever considered dating someone?"
"I have a lot of people who are optimistic about you and are waiting for you!"
As she spoke, Wang Po took out a small notebook and opened it to Li Kailang.
The names of those who want to go on a blind date with Li Kailang are written down on two pages.
“Wow!”
"Didn't you expect me to be so popular? So many people! It seems that I have quite a charm!" Li Kailang couldn't help but sigh at his own charm.
Wang Po agreed with him and said, "That's right. Don't you look at your own conditions?"
"I have a good job, I have money, I have a house, and the house is decorated so beautifully!"
There is one more thing Wang Po didn't say. Since Li Kailang has no parents around, whoever marries into the family will be the mistress and won't have to worry about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues, and naturally won't have to suffer any difficulties.
"Xiao Li, you said last year that you wouldn't go on blind dates, but what about this year? Are you still going on blind dates? You're very popular now. If it's over, there won't be so many girls around."
Wang Po patiently persuaded Li Kailang to participate.
Hearing this, Li Kailang shook his head and said, "Forget it!"
"No! Xiao Li, look at all these girls, they are all waiting for you."
Wang Po tried her best to persuade Li Kailang to participate, but Li Kailang still refused.
"Po Wang, I said before that I would observe mourning for my mother for a year. That time has not come yet. Let's talk about it after it's over."
"Is that so? Okay then." Wang Po could only agree. After all, it was such a big thing and it was not good to force it.
"Huh~" Li Kailang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Wang Po asked him to participate in the series of fatal attacks, and he almost couldn't control himself.
"Xiao Li, we agreed that after the time is up, if you want to go on a blind date, just tell me!" Wang Po reminded him worriedly.
"I got it, don't worry!" Li Kailang replied.
It’s no wonder that Wang Po is so concerned about it. They make a living by introducing people to blind dates.
Anyone introduced by them will receive money whether it is a blind date or a marriage.
They especially like wealthy families, and the introduction fee is quite a lot of money.
Wang Po turned around and marked Li Kailang's information on the notepad.
After seeing the sign, Wang Po was about to leave, but at that moment, Xu Damao came back.
Xu Damao walked a little unsteadily as he pushed his bicycle into the front yard.
"Xu Damao!" Wang Po's eyes suddenly lit up. He was another popular candidate for a blind date.
Wang Po immediately blocked Xu Damao's way and said, "Xu Damao! Do you want to go on a blind date?"
"Blind date? Why would you want to have that kind of thing? It's just a bunch of small talk, not a blind date!" Xu Damao refused without even thinking about it.
As soon as the voice fell, Wang Po's face suddenly darkened, and she stared at Xu Damao unkindly: "Xu Damao, what did you just say!"
Xu Damao looked at Wang Po who was furious and realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"Po Wang, I didn't say anything about you. No, I didn't say anything about the girl either. I just said that my shivering appearance won't bother the girl!"
Hearing this, Wang Po's expression improved a little, but she was still unhappy.
"You're smart! You're old now, do you want to go on a blind date?"
Xu Damao shook his head directly, but Wang Po was angry. Doesn’t this mean that the person she introduced is not good?
"Xu Damao, what do you mean by this? Do you look down on my grandma Wang? Do you think my grandma Wang's introduction was not good?"
"No, no!" Xu Damao waved his hands quickly and explained: "Wang Po, I didn't mean that. My mother introduced me to her."
"I already have a blind date. If I meet another one, it won't be good if we run into each other!"
Hearing this, Wang Po's face became better. "Why didn't you say this earlier? Tell me now!"
"What?" Xu Damao asked puzzledly.
"Tell me your blind date, I'll see who it is and check it out for you!" said Wang Po.
"I don't know about that!" Xu Damao shook his head. "My mother just mentioned it to me and told me not to go on blind dates." Grandma Wang asked, "That's all. Didn't she say anything else?"
"No, my mother didn't tell me much, she just said I don't need to go on blind dates!" Xu Damao replied.
"Forget it then!" Wang Po said helplessly and tore off the page with Xu Damao's name on it.
Xu Damao saw that there were four or five names on his page, and he quickly stopped her, saying, "Don't tear it, Wang Po, I can try a blind date!"
"You already have a blind date, what? Don't you think it's not enough?" Wang Po said unhappily.
Xu Damao explained: "Po Wang, look at what you said. That was what my mother said. I haven't even met her, so I'm not sure if it's suitable or not."
"Let's try to get to know each other first. If you like each other, forget it, my mom. It's hard to find a good wife like her!"
"Wang Po, thank you for your help!" Xu Damao said as he shook Wang Po's arm coquettishly.
"what--"
Wang Po slapped Xu Damao's hand away in disdain. "Since you are so sincere, I won't tear it apart. I'll find a time to bring the person to you."
Wang Po didn't want to give up Xu Damao, this popular guy. Anyway, it was Xu Damao's idea. If they fell in love with each other, it wouldn't be her fault, but Xu Damao's fault.
"Thank you, Grandma Wang! By the way, take these specialties given by the villagers and go back to taste them!"
Xu Damao took out one of the two large bags hanging on the back seat of the car and handed it to Wang Po.
"How embarrassing is this!"
Wang Po said she was sorry, but her hands were sincere and she accepted it directly.
After all, it’s a big bag full of specialties, and there must be a lot of good things in it. If you eat it sparingly, it can last for ten days or half a month.
Besides, she was going to help Xu Damao find a partner, so what if she took some benefits in advance?
"Hehe!" Xu Damao chuckled.
"That lady I've never met before is not as important as the blind date right now. If that lady is really good, then we can just get divorced when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll find it for you when I have time!" Wang Po agreed, and prepared to leave with the local specialties.
"Hey, Wang Po, wait!"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind everyone, and Sha Zhu was seen running over from the middle courtyard.
"Wang Po, I want to go on a blind date too!" Sha Zhu shouted.
After he sent the deaf old lady back, he heard Wang Po's voice coming from the front yard and looked over curiously.
"Shazhu! What's the matter?" Wang Po was obviously embarrassed.
"Po Wang, I was just about to go look for you. I'm not saying anything bad about you! It's been so long, haven't you found someone suitable for me?"
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're the kind of person who takes the money without doing any work. If you really don't want to help me find the money, then give it back to me!"
"Oh, Silly Zhu, I've been looking for a matchmaker for you, but it's really hard to find one with your conditions!" said Wang Po helplessly.
Sha Zhu was furious: "You are talking nonsense! You can't fool my eyes! I have been cutting vegetables for so many years, my eyes are so sharp that I can even see the ants on the ground. What you said is just bullshit."
"Hurry up and give me back the money. I won't look for you anymore. I'll go find another matchmaker!" Sha Zhu gestured with his hand.
"Hey, no, no, no! Silly Zhu, we have something to discuss!"
Wang Po quickly pressed Sha Zhu's hand back. Paying back the money was a small matter, but the reputation was a big matter.
If she paid back the money, it would mean that Wang the matchmaker was not capable enough and no one would trust her.
Grandma Wang said helplessly: "Silly Zhu, I have been helping you find a suitable blind date for the past few months, but your requirements are too strict, so it's not easy to find one!"
Sha Zhu was very confident and retorted: "You're lying! The conditions I proposed are not difficult to find!"
"Oh, it's really hard to find!" Wang Po said helplessly.
"Then tell me, what's so difficult about finding it?" Sha Zhu got to the bottom of it.
Wang Po rolled up her sleeves and said, "Then I'll tell you one by one!"
"You said you want someone of similar age and a city hukou. Isn't that possible with a rural hukou?"
"That won't work!" Sha Zhu shook his head. "I have a city hukou, so my partner must also have a city hukou. Besides, since we are of similar age, isn't that normal?"
"Okay, fine! Even if you are right, what else do you want to say about your good figure, preferably with a curvy figure?"
Sha Zhu didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "What's wrong with that? She has a good figure, so she can breastfeed her baby, right? There's nothing wrong with that!"
"Okay!" Wang Po was almost mad at Sha Zhu's words, "Then let's talk about the last one."
"You said you wanted to find someone who was virtuous, hardworking and capable, and who could do both housework and housework. How could we find someone who met these conditions?"
Sha Zhu looked at Wang Po with disdain: "Isn't this as it should be? I go to work, come back tired after a day's work and still have to cook for me, then why should I get married!"
"you you you!"
Wang Po pointed at Sha Zhu. If she took out any one of the three conditions, Wang Po could find the place, but it would be difficult to find the place if all three were combined.
"Silly Zhu, if you were to find someone according to your conditions, the girl would have been married off long ago, so there's no way she would be able to keep you."
"You may not be able to find such a good girl even with a lantern. Don't you think about whether you are worthy of her?"
"Whether I'm worthy or not is my business. Wang Po, just tell me whether you can find it or not. If you can't, then return the money and I'll find someone else!" Sha Zhu didn't care.
"Okay, okay!" Wang Po looked at Sha Zhu who was so stubborn and said, "If you want to withdraw, I'll return the money when I get back!"
Wang Po no longer wanted credibility. Since she was talked about by people in the same industry, she just kept talking.
"Why do these conditions of Shazhu sound so familiar? I feel like I've seen them somewhere!" Xu Damao muttered to himself.
"Oh, I remember now, Wang Po, the person Sha Zhu is looking for with these conditions is Qin Huairu!"
"Qin Huairu!" Wang Po murmured to herself, and immediately after comparing her with the others, a clear image came into her mind.
"Oh, Silly Zhu, if you had told me earlier that you wanted to find someone like Qin Huairu, I wouldn't have had to worry so much!"
Wang Po showed a look of understanding to Sha Zhu.
"You don't have to return the money. I happen to have a few people like this. I'll bring them to you for a blind date when I have time."
Sha Zhu said happily: "Really? Wang Po, if this really works out, I will give you gifts every year during festivals in the future!"
Both of them forgot about the unpleasant things that happened before.
"Silly Zhu, I didn't expect that you would be jealous of Qin Huairu!" Xu Damao said mysteriously.
Sha Zhu rarely showed a hint of shyness, "Xu Damao, don't talk nonsense, I treat Sister Qin like my sister-in-law!"
"Take your disgusting thoughts away!"
"Sister Qin, sister-in-law!" Xu Damao repeated meaningfully to Sha Zhu.
Wang Po, who was standing nearby, understood what Xu Damao meant, and the two of them looked at Sha Zhu with ill intentions.
"Stupid column!"
Suddenly, an angry voice came from behind Sha Zhu.
When I looked back, it turned out to be the three people from the Jia family.
Jia Dongxu's face was as black as coal, and he stared at Sha Zhu as if he wanted to cut him into pieces.
"Brother Jia, don't think too much! I didn't do anything!" Sha Zhu hurriedly explained.
Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu, but her heart was cheering. She didn't expect that even after giving birth to two children, she was still so charming.
Qin Huairu couldn't help but smile as she saw Sha Zhu was still thinking about her.
But this smile was seen by Jia Zhang, who immediately jumped up in anger.
"Qin Huairu, you're a slutty fox. You're already married, but you're still hooking up with others."
"You, you, you, I'm going to beat you to death!"
Jia Zhang looked around for a handy tool and saw the broom that Yan Bugui had placed outside the door, so she took it directly.
"Mom, I didn't!" Qin Huairu suddenly felt aggrieved and her eyes became moist.
"No, no one is so stupid as to force you to find a partner!" Jia Zhang said angrily.
He rushed to Qin Huairu with a broom and swept it directly on Qin Huairu's butt.
"I'll let you hook up with someone, I'll let you hook up with someone!"
"Ah!" Qin Huairu screamed in pain and looked at Jia Dongxu.
But Jia Dongxu just watched coldly without saying a word, allowing Jia Zhangshi to beat Qin Huairu.
Seeing this, Jia Zhang beat her even harder. Qin Huairu couldn't stand it anymore and ran back home.
"Qin Huairu, it's useless for you to run back home. No one can stop you from being beaten today. This will teach you a lesson." Jia Zhang shouted while beating her.
"Brother Jia, I didn't mean that!" Sha Zhu looked at Jia Dongxu's cold eyes and said guiltily.
"That would be better!" Jia Dongxu said this and went home.
Jia Dongxu has always been wary of this silly Zhu who is obsessed with his wife.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect that Sha Zhu would like this!" Xu Damao interrupted at an inopportune time.
"Xu Damao, it's all your fault. I'm going to beat you to death!" Sha Zhu yelled and rushed towards Xu Damao with his fist raised.
"Oh my God!" Xu Damao was so scared that he dropped his bicycle and rushed to the backyard.
"Oh, this." Wang Po didn't expect that things would become so serious.
"Xiao Li, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!" Wang Po ran away from the courtyard.
"Phew, it's quite exciting!"
Li Kailang watched from the side and listened to Qin Huairu's screams coming from the middle yard and Xu Damao's screams coming from the back yard.
He couldn't help licking his saliva, looking like he was still unsatisfied.
"Today I finally got to eat a big melon!"
Li Kailang also stayed away from this place of trouble and went to do what he had to do today.
