People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

"My dear grandson, you must not be confused. We are still young. In the future, there will be many beautiful girls waiting for you to marry. Grandma still has some face and will definitely find a suitable marriage for you."

Afraid that Lin Yi might misunderstand her meaning, the old lady continued.

Lin Yi looked at the old lady in surprise, as if he was meeting her for the first time.

Lin Yi didn't expect that the old lady could be so insightful. He didn't know whether she really sensed some rumors or something wrong, or she simply didn't like the Lou family.

But it seems impossible. In the plot, the old lady tried her best to match He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e. She even did such a despicable thing as locking people in a room.

This is why Lou Xiao'e was busy with her family's escape, and she also had a relationship with He Yuzhu. If it were any other woman, the old lady would have been criticized even after her death.

Lin Yi said tentatively: "Grandma, you haven't even met Sister Xiao'e, how can you think that the girl from the Lou family is not suitable?"

"No need to look, no need to look, we don't want the daughter of the Lou family."

The old lady refused again and again.

Lin Yi's expression became even more strange. "Grandma, did someone say something to you? Although Sister Xiao'e is a few years older than me, she is still a very nice person and she is also very beautiful."

"Grandson, listen to grandma. We don't want this girl from the Lou family. If you really want to get married, grandma will go find those old friends tomorrow and ask them to find you a good one. We don't have anything to do with capitalists."

The old lady made her point very clear when she spoke.

Lin Yi also understood what the old lady meant. Isn't it because she is afraid of being associated with the Lou family? He didn't expect that the old lady, who never left the house, would be so sensitive to the wind direction.

Is it really like the old saying goes, people become more cunning as they age?

Lin Yi knew this only because of the memories he had gained from time travel, but what did the old lady rely on?

Could it be that the old lady outside also has her own information channels?

Lin Yi thought about it and felt that this was not possible. If she really had this ability, in the plot, the old lady would not have saved her own food rations to sell food coupons.

Maybe it was really the old lady's unusually sharp intuition.

This was the only excuse Lin Yi could come up with.

"Grandma, you're worrying too much. I went to Director Lou's house today and talked about this matter. I rejected Director Lou's kindness in person."

Lin Yi told the old lady about this matter with certainty.

Liu Mei finally understood, but she didn't grasp the key point.

"Lin Yi, are you saying that Lou Bancheng's family wanted to marry you and you refused?"

Liu Mei looked at Lin Yi in disbelief. In her opinion, this was such a good marriage. Lou Bancheng was the director of a steel mill and had a fortune. If Lin Yi really became Lou Bancheng's son-in-law, wouldn't he be able to rise to the top?

How could Lin Yi refuse such a good marriage?

"Oh, Auntie, I was just kidding. The truth is, the Lou family looked down on me and didn't agree. Besides, Miss Lou is half a generation older than me, so they think it's inappropriate."

Lin Yi then smiled and changed his words. He spoke to Liu Mei, but his eyes were looking at the old lady.

At this time, the old lady began to pretend to be deaf again, with her eyes drooping, as if she wanted to sleep.

Liu Mei said with some regret: "What a good match. Boss Lou is really blind. He doesn't want such a good son-in-law like Lin Yi. Don't worry, Lin Yi, if you want to get married, I will help you find a matchmaker. Let's find the best matchmaker and a beautiful one."

Liu Mei is really serious about this. Lin Yi is now a section chief and has reached such a high position. It is time for him to think carefully about marriage. Although he is only sixteen years old, time will pass in the blink of an eye. They can just date for now.

"Okay, okay, auntie, you see grandma is sleepy, go to bed first. I have no idea about the partner yet. I am only sixteen, there is really no rush."

"Besides, our family is so well-off, wouldn't it be necessary for me to go through all the trouble of looking for a matchmaker for a blind date?"

Lin Yi comforted Liu Mei with a few words, and then ordered Liu Mei to take the old lady back to bed.

"How many do you want?" Director Wang Aihua from the Street Office looked at Lin Yi and asked.

"Let's select twenty first, for a total of forty places. I plan to ask the original team members to recommend ten, and let the department arrange the other ten. If there are more vacancies, I will come to you to fill them then."

Lin Yi talked about the quota of retired and demobilized soldiers he was going to take.

"That's fine. With the twenty indicators you solved, I have completed most of the resettlement mission this time."

Wang Aihua also breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that Lin Yi could help her solve most of the resettlement quota.

Looking at the high-spirited young man in front of him, Wang Aihua really didn't expect that in just over half a year, Lin Yi had become a deputy-section-level cadre.

"With your speed of promotion, it won't take long for you to catch up with my level." Wang Aihua sighed.

Lin Yi smiled shyly and said, "It's also the care of the elders. However, this deputy section level is the end of it. If you want to move up, you need real achievements and slowly gain experience."

"Well, it's good that you have this understanding. I was worried that you would rise too fast and become restless and not know when to advance or retreat."

Wang Aihua was very satisfied with Lin Yi's state of mind and understanding.

"But you are still young, only sixteen. Even if you are gaining experience, you still have plenty of time to lay a solid foundation. Then you will have more room for advancement in the future."

Wang Aihua is very optimistic about Lin Yi's future development. Although there are no immediate relatives to take care of him at home, the benefits left by those martyrs who died are enough.

When the critical moment comes, the comrades of the Lin family will lend a helping hand. Only then will the importance of connections be truly demonstrated.

However, Wang Aihua was not going to explain this relationship in detail to Lin Yi.

She always believed that Lin Yi had connections with some big leaders.

"It's too late today. Let's go to my house for dinner tomorrow. You've been in the city for so long, but you haven't been to my house yet. My husband will be home tomorrow, too. You can get to know him then. He's also related to your steel mill."

"From the Materials Bureau, if anyone bullies you, come and complain. I'll ask your uncle to seize the materials from the steel mill to help you vent your anger."

Wang Aihua did not feel the slightest bit embarrassed about misusing public resources for personal gain. Instead, she felt that it was no big deal to let Lin Yi vent his anger and use the power in her hands.

Lin Yi naturally would not refuse such kindness.

"I've been wanting to visit Aunt Wang for a long time, but I was afraid you'd chase me away, so I didn't dare to mention it."

"Haha, I'm looking forward to your coming. It's settled then. I'll cook for you myself tomorrow and let you taste my cooking skills."

Back at the steel rolling mill, the new base on the east side was being renovated in full swing.

But the situation in the small building has been dealt with.

The telephone and other things have also been arranged.

The office logistics staff assigned by the factory personnel department have also arrived, including four women and two men.

"Chief, these are the new uniforms you need to pick up. The Logistics Department needs your signature before you can pick them up."

Clerk Liu Jia came over with a document and asked Lin Yi to sign it.
