Chapter 28 Result
At this time, the day's work had already begun in the steel rolling mill.

Li Jiandong had long guessed what the result of He Daqing's test of the White Widow would be.

If you want to prevent such problems, it is best to find another one for He Daqing.

"Sister Zhao, I want to ask you something. Do you know which alley in our street has a matchmaker?"

Li Jiandong asked an older female worker in the workshop that it would be right to ask them about such matters.

Sister Zhao is a level 4 fitter. She is older than Li Jiandong but her skills are much worse. Upon hearing this, she asked curiously, "Master Li, you just got married. Didn't you find this matchmaker for yourself?"

Li Jiandong said: "That's for sure. Huairu and I have a good relationship. She is an old friend who helps our hospital."

Sister Zhao's eyes rolled around, thinking that most of the residents in that courtyard were workers from the steel mill, who could this old guy be?

But he replied, "There is a matchmaker living in the alley behind your courtyard, the vegetable market. If you go over and ask around, you'll find out that this matchmaker, Wang, is very famous."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Zhao. You continue to be busy."

Li Jiandong remembered Wang the matchmaker's name and borrowed a bicycle from the security department during lunch time and went there.

The reason why I didn't ride a chariot was that I didn't want to attract attention. If someone found out, I would have to explain the misunderstanding.

As expected, Matchmaker Wang lived in Yard No. 5. Li Jiandong asked around and found the place. The first room in the front yard was her house.

I knocked on the door and a lazy voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Li Jiandong pushed the door open and walked in. He was hit by a strong smell of smoke, which made him frown. Fortunately, the house was not big and the door and windows were open, so the smoke dissipated after a while.

A woman in her 40s or 50s looked at Li Jiandong and asked, "Are you here for a blind date?"

Li Jiandong took out a dollar from his pocket and said directly, "Matchmaker Wang, right? I have a brother who wants to find a partner for his second marriage. Can you help me find one? If it works out, I'll definitely reward you handsomely."

The purpose of being a matchmaker is to make money, but the money is not much, maybe one, two or three dollars at a time. It mainly depends on whether the person you introduce is to the other person or not.

Li Jiandong directly offered one dollar to clear the way, and matchmaker Wang immediately put on a smiling face.

"This master doesn't even know your name. Also, what are the conditions of your brother? You've found the right person by coming to see me, Mrs. Wang. At least in Nanluoguxiang, there is no woman I don't know."

Li Jiandong said: "My last name is Li, my brother is married for the second time, he is 36 years old this year and works as a chef in a factory, he earns more than 60 yuan a month but he is a bit ugly.

Well, it can also be said to be very ugly.

Besides that, he also likes to drink a little, but he won't get drunk. What kind of person can you find with these conditions?"

When matchmaker Wang heard that the salary was over 60 yuan a month, she was immediately excited and said, "With such good conditions, there would be all kinds of young girls and wives for him to choose from."

Li Jiandong reminded: "He is really very ugly, are you sure he can find a big girl?"

Matchmaker Wang patted her chest and laughed, "Master Li, you are obviously a capable person, but you definitely don't know much about blind dates.

No matter how considerate and handsome a man is, if he can't shoulder the responsibility, he is a waste. Men who can make money are the most sought-after in the blind date market. Don't say that your brother is just a little ugly. Even if he is disabled, with a monthly salary of more than 60 yuan, I can find him a virgin girl. "

Li Jiandong was a little surprised, thinking that some country women would indeed lower their standards for blind dates in order to move to the city.

He was relieved.

He said to matchmaker Wang: "Then you should stick with the eldest girl and help introduce my brother. If it works out, I will give you at least three yuan in red envelope, and you will definitely be included."

Nowadays, when the marriage gift is only five or ten yuan, a three-yuan red envelope from the matchmaker is considered a large order.

The reason why Li Jiandong was so generous was not only because he had money, but also because he didn't want to see He Daqing sad for too long.

Matchmaker Wang was extremely excited. After asking for Li Jiandong's address, she repeatedly assured him that she would take care of the matter.

After leaving the Supply and Marketing Cooperative Hutong.

Li Jiandong hurried back to the steel rolling mill to work. After returning the bicycle to the security department, he went back to a workshop. Before entering the workshop, he saw He Daqing waiting outside the workshop with a net bag containing three lunch boxes.

"Daqing, why are you here?"

Li Jiandong stepped forward and asked.

He Daqing chuckled and said a little embarrassedly:
"Old Li, you are right. Bai Qingzhu doesn't like me at all. She is only willing to be with me because I make a lot of money.

When I said I couldn't cook anymore after my hand was broken, she turned hostile and told me to get out. Alas!"

Li Jiandong didn't expect He Daqing's reaction to be so calm.

She stepped forward and put her hand on his shoulder and said, "Daqing, it's good that you can let it go. There are so many good women in this world. Let me tell you, this White Widow wants to be with you, but she's really marrying above her station."

He Daqing suddenly grinned:
"Lao Li, when I was looking for you just now, I heard from the people in your workshop that you asked them where there was a matchmaker. Are you helping me find a partner?
You probably haven't eaten yet, come on, come on, while you eat, tell me whether I can find a good one with my conditions. "

Li Jiandong didn't hesitate. He really hadn't had lunch. After taking the lunch box, opening it, he sat on a stone by the wall and started eating.

While eating, he asked He Daqing: "Tell me first, what conditions do you want in your other half?"

He Daqing stammered, "I think as long as she's a woman, healthy and not disabled, it'll be fine. If she's not too ugly and has a bigger butt, it'll be perfect."

Li Jiandong burst out laughing, and the chewed buns and vegetable leaves almost sprayed all over He Daqing.

He didn't expect He Daqing to be so self-deprecating, so he repeated to He Daqing what Wang the matchmaker had said to him.

When He Daqing heard that he could find a virgin girl with his conditions, he expressed disbelief.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could see the expectation in his eyes.

Li Jiandong also thought about it on his way back.

He Daqing's conditions are indeed very good.

Although they are older and on their second marriage, many of those who have survived the ups and downs of the past few years are missing half of their life.

What's more, he is a man, so no one cares about this.

However, a salary of more than 60 yuan a month is already very enviable, and the job is a lucrative one as a cook. In comparison, that ugly face is nothing.

…………

The weekend is approaching again.

In the morning, when Li Jiandong got up, he saw that Sha Zhu had already put on his uniform and was ready to go to the police station.

"Zhu Zi, why do you seconded people have to be on duty on weekends?"

Sha Zhu quickly greeted him, "Master, you are up. Our police station is seriously short of staff, so those seconded have to work on weekends, but it's a rotation, and those on duty can take a day off after they start work."

Hearing the familiar term, Li Jiandong was speechless.

He said to Sha Zhu, "Work hard. The lack of manpower means you can get a permanent job. Try your best. At the end of the year, your father and I will go to the leaders to help you get a stable job."

Sha Zhu grinned: "Thank you, Master. I'll go on duty now."

"Well, let's go."

Li Jiandong waved his hand and asked Sha Zhu to go on duty.

Recently, we have been patrolling every day.

Sha Zhu has been a bit slack in his military boxing training, but he has already practiced to the seventeenth form, and his fighting ability has passed level two. It probably won't be long before he can become a master again.

In addition, Shazhu also has a chef level, but it is only district level one, and because he rarely practices, his experience gains are very slow.

Li Jiandong had no interest in cooking. Since he had a woman at home, he didn't need to cook, so he simply ignored this major.

Sister Ma made breakfast and left.

When Li Jiandong and Qin Huairu were having dinner, they heard people talking outside.

"Excuse me, does Master Li Jiandong live here? I'm Wang the matchmaker from the alley behind, and I'm here to help Master Li's friend find a date."

The door of Li Jiandong's house was open, and he and Qin Huairu both heard the voice of Matchmaker Wang.

Qin Huairu asked, "Brother Jiandong, who are you introducing to someone?"

Li Jiandong replied: "Who else could it be? The Qing Dynasty. You continue eating. I'll be out for a while."

He walked to the door and said to the outside: "Aunt Wang, I'm here."

Matchmaker Wang has also inquired about Li Jiandong these two days.

I know that he is one of the only three eighth-level workers in the steel rolling mill, and that he has a three-wheeler and a ring at home and a son specially approved by the factory.

This is a truly high-quality man, but unfortunately he is already married.

When the matchmaker saw Li Jiandong, she immediately put on a big smile and said, "Master Li, I have brought you the person you asked me to find for your brother.

This weekend, why don't you ask your brother to come out and meet him?"

Li Jiandong looked at the woman next to Matchmaker Wang. She was about 20 years old and pretty, but her patched clothes proved that her family conditions were probably ordinary. He smiled and said to Matchmaker Wang and the woman, "Aunt Wang, girls, wait a moment. My brother lives next door to me. I'll call him out."

After saying that, Li Jiandong pushed open the door of the He family and walked in.

He Yushui lived in another ear room, in which only Sha Zhu and He Daqing and his son lived.

Sha Zhu had gone to the police station to be on duty, and He Daqing was still sleeping soundly in the room.

Li Jiandong walked to the bed and poked him with his hand, shouting, "Daqing, hurry up and get up, your new wife is here."

"A new bride... eh? A new bride?!"

He Daqing climbed out of the bed in a daze, and suddenly his eyes widened with surprise.

He asked Li Jiandong, "Old Li, is the person you helped me find a matchmaker for coming to my house?"

Li Jiandong smiled and said, "Yes, they are already waiting in the yard. Why don't you get up quickly?"

He Daqing was busy putting on his clothes, muttering, "Oh my, why didn't you tell me in advance? I haven't washed my face or brushed my teeth yet, and look at how messy my hair is."

Li Jiandong thought to himself, my brother from the Qing Dynasty, you are ugly enough and you don’t need to care about your image at all.

If a girl is willing to marry you, it won’t be because of your appearance.

However, he could only say this in his heart and would not actually say it out loud to attack He Daqing.

After working for five minutes, He Daqing and Li Jiandong walked out the door together.

Standing at the door, he called out to matchmaker Wang and the woman, "This... Aunt Wang, right? Come in and sit down. I came back too late from the banquet yesterday, and the house hasn't been cleaned up yet. Please don't be offended."

Matchmaker Wang is a person who is good at talking. She smiled and said:
"You men are busy with your careers, and we women can understand that. When you have a caring person at home in the future, you won't have to do the housework yourself."

As he said this, he pulled the woman into He Daqing's house.

Other residents in the yard heard the news and came to the middle courtyard to watch the fun.

Li Jiandong closed the door, and only he, He Daqing, the girl and matchmaker Wang were left in the room.

He Daqing, who is usually loud and noisy, was too embarrassed to speak in front of the woman.

Li Jiandong had no choice but to ask for him: "Aunt Wang, please introduce them first."

Matchmaker Wang glanced at the big house of He Daqing's family and replied with a smile: "Okay, then I will introduce it to you two first."

Pointing at He Daqing, he said to the woman, "This is Master He Daqing. He is the chef and team leader in the canteen of the steel mill. His monthly salary plus allowance is exactly 68.70 yuan. He is in good health and has good character. You can see from his appearance that he loves his wife."

The matchmaker's words were deceiving, and He Daqing himself was flattered.

But the key point is one month's salary, which we certainly cannot falsify.

After introducing He Daqing, Matchmaker Wang introduced the women around her:
"Master Li, Master He, this is our Xu Huizhen, she lives in Zhengyangmen and has a city hukou, and she has a younger sister who lives with her.

Our Huizhen is still a virgin. If I really marry you, I must cherish you."

He Daqing raised his head slightly and glanced at Xu Huizhen, then quickly lowered his head and said naively: "Aunt Wang is right, I will definitely cherish Huizhen."

When Li Jiandong heard that Xu Huizhen had a city hukou, he couldn't help but feel confused.

Although He Daqing earns a lot of money every month, women in the city have high standards and older girls generally don't look for divorced men when they're looking for a partner.

However, Li Jiandong soon found out why Xu Huizhen agreed to go on a blind date with He Daqing.

I only heard her voice delicate but firm as she said:
"Master He, I think since we are on a blind date, we should be honest with each other."

"I have a request. Can you agree to let us talk again? If you think Hui's request is really excessive, you can just treat it as a show and then we can each find another partner. Is that okay with you?"

He Daqing was a little nervous when he heard this. He glanced at Li Jiandong and saw him nod before saying, "Okay, go ahead."

Xu Huizhen said, "My sister and I are the only ones in my family. Before my parents died, they asked me to continue the family line. If Master He can agree that our children will have my last name, I will have no problem with this marriage."

When He Daqing heard what happened, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Without hesitation, he said, "So that's it. I agree."

He Daqing's idea is very simple.
There is a son named Shazhu to continue the family line

It doesn’t matter if more children have the same surname as Xu Huizhen.

The key point is that Xu Hui is not only a girl, but also beautiful. Even if the child has someone else's surname, he will make a profit.

"Oh, I said Master He is a good man who loves his wife. He knows how to listen to his wife even before they get married."

"Hehehe... Huizhen, when you marry me, just wait for your happiness."

Matchmaker Wang was there to help bring them together. When Xu Huizhen saw that He Daqing agreed without hesitation to such an important matter, she accepted him in her heart.

Li Jiandong said: "Since Xu Huizhen and my Daqing brother are in love, let's talk about getting married."

Matchmaker Wang said, "It's better to choose a day than to wait for one. Next Sunday is a good day. How about next Sunday?"

He Daqing shook his head and said, "It won't work next Sunday. My brother Lao Li is going to run for the position of boss, and I will have to vote for him then."

Li Jiandong also said, "Daqing, let's not talk about this vote for now. There will be a lot of things to do during the election next weekend. Some people will not be able to change the time when it coincides with the wedding. How about next week?"

Xu Huizhen shook her head and smiled faintly: "I have no objection."

He Daqing also smiled and said, "Then let's do it next week. It doesn't matter if it's not the weekend. I don't have many friends anyway. We can just find a few suitable nights to get together."

Xu Huizhen said: "My family only has me and my sister, and a few neighbors around us, so there aren't many people."

I saw that both He Daqing and Xu Huizhen had expressed their opinions.

Li Jiandong finally made the decision for them: "Then let's do it next week. We can discuss the specific matters slowly in the next few days.

Huizhen, if you are willing to move here earlier, you can go get married with Daqing first, and you can also taste my brother Daqing's cooking skills earlier. "

Xu Huizhen thought about it and said, "It's not impossible."

The blind date went well, so we got settled.

He Daqing cooked at noon to celebrate.

At the dinner table, Xu Huizhen praised He Daqing's cooking skills highly, and her eyes became much gentler when she looked at the man.

After dinner, Xu Huizhen went home first.

On weekends, the streets were closed, so the two agreed to go get their marriage certificate the next day.

"Old Li, I've won the imperial examination and am looking for a prince consort. Good things come in pairs!" He Daqing was very excited and kept thanking Li Jiandong.

With his conditions, how could he dare to think of marrying an older girl, not to mention that she has a city hukou.

In the end, he got it all, and he gained both face and money.

the next day.

Li Jiandong was sitting next to a machine in the workshop drinking tea when suddenly He Daqing came to see him.

He Daqing had a big bag of fruit candies in his hand and stuffed two full handfuls into Li Jiandong's pocket.

He took out a small book from his pocket and showed it to Li Jiandong: "Look, Old Li, this is the marriage certificate of Huizhen and me. I still can't believe that I really have a wife, and she is such a beautiful young lady like Huizhen."

He Daqing was very excited and his voice was very loud. Everyone in the workshop heard him and gathered around him.

"Master He, are you married?"

"What does the subject look like? Why didn't you bring him to us?"

"Congratulations, Master He, you have a second life."

He Daqing was so happy when he heard the congratulations that his mouth was wide open. He grabbed two handfuls of candy and shared them with everyone, saying, "We just got the certificate today. I'll bring her to meet you all another day. Everyone, have some candy, eat more."

People are happy when they are happy.

Li Jiandong was happy for He Daqing when he saw that he looked younger.

On the way back home in the evening, Li Jiandong passed by the street police station with his two apprentices.

Sha Zhu limped over from the opposite side, with red medicine smeared on his forehead and hands.

Li Jiandong frowned immediately and rode his bike over.

"Zhu Zi, what happened to you? Who did you fight with?"
