Chapter 577 Yan Jiecheng goes on a blind date!
At around nine o'clock in the morning, a matchmaker led a girl to the courtyard. When Yang Ruihua saw the matchmaker coming, he immediately greeted her enthusiastically, "Matchmaker Wang! You are here."

When matchmaker Wang heard what Yang Ruihua said, she smiled and greeted Yang Ruihua, saying, "Young lady of the Yang family, let me introduce you. This is Zhang Xiuxiu, who lives in Xingfu Hutong. Her father is a master in the lumber factory, and there are five people in her family."

When Yang Ruihua heard Matchmaker Wang's introduction, he immediately called out to the two of them, "Matchmaker Wang! Zhang Xiuxiu! Go inside and sit down."

As Yang Ruihua spoke, he did not forget to shout to Yan Jiecheng in the ear room: "Jiecheng! Jiecheng! Come out quickly."

When Yan Jiecheng heard Yang Ruihua's shout, he immediately ran out of the house. When he saw the two people sitting in the house, he immediately greeted Wang the matchmaker politely: "Aunt Wang! Hello! Welcome to our home."

When matchmaker Wang heard what Yan Jiecheng said, she immediately introduced him to him: "Jiecheng! Let me introduce you to Zhang Xiuxiu, who is 23 years old this year. Like you, she also works odd jobs outside."

After hearing what Matchmaker Wang had introduced, Yan Jiecheng looked at the shy Zhang Xiuxiu and immediately greeted her, "Hello, Comrade Zhang Xiuxiu! Nice to meet you."

Zhang Xiuxiu has been on many blind dates over the years, but the ones she liked didn't like her, and the ones she liked didn't like her. For this reason, Zhang Xiuxiu was 23 years old and still hadn't married. Because of this, her parents were anxious to find blind dates for her.

After Zhang Xiuxiu entered the Yan family, she began to observe the Yan family's layout secretly. As a result, she soon discovered that the situation of the Yan family did not seem to be as good as Wang the matchmaker said. It could even be described as stingy, because from the time they entered the Yan family until now, Yang Ruihua only poured them a glass of boiled water, and did not even give them basic peanuts and melon seeds.

Zhang Xiuxiu heard what Yan Jiecheng said, looked at his reserved expression, and asked him, "Yan Jiecheng! I heard from Matchmaker Wang that you graduated from high school and are now waiting for the street office to assign you a job. You usually do odd jobs outside. Normally, the street office will arrange a job for you one or two years after graduating from high school. Why hasn't the street office arranged a job for you until now?"

After graduation, Yan Jiecheng has not found a job. It is not because the street office refused to assign him a job, but because Yan Bugui was reluctant to spend money. As a result, the salary assigned to him by the street office was either a garbage collector or a waste collector. This is why Yan Jiecheng is still unemployed.

When Yan Jiecheng heard Zhang Xiuxiu's question, he immediately showed an embarrassed expression on his face and said to Zhang Xiuxiu, "Zhang Xiuxiu! There are too many people waiting for assignments on our street, so I haven't been able to find a suitable job yet."

After hearing Yan Jiecheng's explanation, Zhang Xiuxiu got straight to the point and asked him, "Yan Jiecheng! Just now you said that you are doing odd jobs outside. How much money can you make in a month? If our relationship works out, can the money you earn from odd jobs support both of us?"

When Yan Jiecheng heard Zhang Xiuxiu's question, he answered without thinking: "Zhang Xiuxiu! I can earn about 17 or 18 yuan a month doing odd jobs. Excluding the accommodation and food expenses I pay to my family, I can probably save 7 or 8 yuan. If you marry me, together with the money you earn from odd jobs, we will have enough to spend." "What! In addition to paying for food, your family also has to pay for accommodation! This is the first time I've heard of such a weird rule that if you live in your own home, you have to pay for accommodation." When Zhang Xiuxiu heard what Yan Jiecheng said, an incredible expression showed on her face, and she asked Yan Jiecheng without thinking.

When Yan Jiecheng heard what Zhang Xiuxiu said, he immediately showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and quickly explained: "Zhang Xiuxiu! You don't know, my father is the only one in my family who earns money to support the family. In order to help my father reduce some of the burden, I pay for the accommodation for my family."

At this time, Zhang Xiuxiu didn't know about Yan Jiecheng's divorce, and she didn't know the truth about the Yan family's calculations. When she heard Yan Jiecheng's explanation, she felt that Yan Jiecheng's explanation was barely acceptable, so she didn't continue to dwell on this issue and asked Yan Jiecheng: "Yan Jiecheng! I wonder what specific plans you have for your future?"

When Yan Jiecheng heard Zhang Xiuxiu ask him about his future plans, he answered without thinking: "My wish is to find a job that suits me, then marry a wife and have a few children."

Zhang Xiuxiu learned of Yan Jiecheng's thoughts and felt that Yan Jiecheng was the worst matchmaker she had met in the past few years. She immediately said to Matchmaker Wang, "Aunt Wang! It's getting late. Let's go back first!"

When Wang the matchmaker heard what Zhang Xiuxiu said, she immediately realized that Zhang Xiuxiu didn't like Yan Jiecheng. If it was any other family, Wang the matchmaker might try to persuade Zhang Xiuxiu, but when she saw the boiled water on the table, Wang the matchmaker decisively gave up the idea and said to Yang Ruihua, "Young lady of the Yang family! Then we'll leave first."

When Yang Ruihua learned that Matchmaker Wang and Zhang Xiuxiu were leaving, he immediately said to them, "Aunt Wang, Zhang Xiuxiu! You just arrived, why are you leaving? It's almost noon, why don't you stay here and have lunch before leaving?"

Since she didn't like Yan Jiecheng, Zhang Xiuxiu naturally had no reason to stay at the Yan family for dinner. Moreover, the Yan family just poured them a bowl of boiled water during the blind date, which was enough to show that the Yan family was very stingy. Facing Yang Ruihua's invitation, Zhang Xiuxiu politely declined, "Aunt Yang! I have something else to do at home, so we won't have this meal."

Yang Ruihua's invitation to Wang the Matchmaker and Zhang Xiuxiu to stay for dinner was purely a polite remark, because in her subconscious, if Wang the Matchmaker and Zhang Xiuxiu didn't stay for dinner, then their family would be able to save some food. Facing Zhang Xiuxiu's answer, Yang Ruihua took advantage of the situation and ordered Yan Jiecheng, "Jiecheng! Why don't you send your Aunt Wang and Zhang Xiuxiu off quickly?"

After Yan Jiecheng sent Zhang Xiuxiu out of the courtyard, he quickly returned to his home and complained to Yang Ruihua with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Mom! Look at what you did. When someone came to your house for a blind date, you should at least make them a cup of sweet water and bring them some peanuts and melon seeds. Look at you, you only poured them a bowl of boiled water. Who would be interested in me if you did this?"

When Yang Ruihua heard Yan Jiecheng's complaint, instead of feeling that there was something wrong with his behavior, he replied as if it was a matter of course: "Jiecheng! Doesn't sweet water cost money? Don't peanuts and sunflower seeds cost money? You are just going on a blind date, not getting married, why waste this money for no reason?"
