Yi Zhonghai's Siheyuan

The next day, Li Mei found Liu Guangqi and told him that her parents had returned from Baocheng, and hoped that Liu Guangqi could be her family's son-in-law.

Liu Guangqi nodded to show that he understood, and said to Li Mei, "When our parents meet, you can first warn your parents not to tell my parents about this live-in son-in-law. After we get married, we will go together."

Li Mei said she understood. After all, in this era, being a son-in-law who lives with the family's wife is considered a great shame. A family would not want a son-in-law unless they can't survive. Liu Guangqi had a trauma in his heart because he had watched his father beating his younger brothers at home for a long time. Even if his father was good to him, he would never let his future children live in such a family, so Liu Guangqi chose to leave the city.

Li Mei returned home and quickly discussed it with her parents. Father Li was of course unwilling but he couldn't resist his daughter's love for it, so he had to agree reluctantly.

Li Mei also repeatedly threatened Liu Guangqi by saying that if Liu Guangqi did not leave after they got married, she would divorce him and follow her parents to Baocheng.

Li's mother was also persuading Li's father, and the final result of the discussion was to temporarily help Liu Guangqi stabilize the Liu family and go to defend the city after getting married.

Another day passed, and that day happened to be Saturday evening when Li Mei brought her parents to Liu's house.

The arrival of Li Mei's family added some gossip to the courtyard, the most intense of which was the Yan family. Yan Bugui's eyes rolled around as he looked at the things Li Mei's parents were carrying.

Yan Bugui returned home and said, "Boss, your mother and I recently found a matchmaker who introduced us to a family named Yu in Dongzhimen. They have two daughters. The matchmaker plans to bring someone here for a blind date tomorrow, so you better hurry up."

When Yan Jiecheng heard his father say that he had found a matchmaker for a blind date for him, he said happily, "Mom and Dad, thank you! I'm finally going on a blind date."

Unfortunately, Yan Jiecheng’s happiness didn’t last long, as Yan Bugui said, “I spent 3 yuan looking for a matchmaker, so you have to give it back to me when the time comes.”

Yan Jiecheng knew that his father was plotting against him, so he said, "Dad, why do you want me to pay for this blind date? Am I not trying to expand our Yan family?"

Yan Bugui: "Jiecheng, look at your brothers and sisters! With so many children, who in our Yan family can't have children? Besides, brothers should settle accounts clearly. If you don't want to go on a blind date, then I'll turn it down, but you have to give me three dollars."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade his father, Yan Jiecheng could only nod and agree that he would pay an extra 3 yuan to the family for his expenses, but the old couple would have to take care of his wedding banquet.

Yan Bugui nodded. Of course, he had his own calculations in mind. He thought that when Yan Jiecheng got married, he would only need to pay for some money for the wedding banquet, and all the gifts would be his. The family ended the conversation with these calculations.

On the other side, at the Liu family! When Liu Haizhong saw the girl's parents coming, he quickly asked Liu Guixiang to cook, while he prepared tea to entertain Mr. and Mrs. Li.

At the table in the living room, Liu Haizhong said, "Hey, Leader Li, it's a great honor for us to be able to come to our hospital. I've wanted to visit you for a long time, but unfortunately Guangqi said you had official business in Baocheng and haven't come back yet, so I haven't had time yet."

Father Li: "What's the point of talking about leadership or not? You're kidding. I saw that you are younger than me, so I just called you Brother Liu."

Mother Li: "Yes, we liked Guangqi the first time we saw him."

Liu Haizhong nodded and said, "Then I will call you Brother Li. I heard from Guangqi that you work at the Baocheng Water Conservancy Bureau, right?"

Father Li: "Well, Brother Liu, I heard from Li Mei that you are a forger in a steel mill. The working class is good! The working class leads everything."

Liu Haizhong couldn't help but feel proud when he heard what Li's father said. The workers in this era were really powerful. So he started to brag to Li's father about how many apprentices he had taught and how much the workshop director thought highly of him.

Liu Haizhong: "There is a Yi Zhonghai in our hospital. He is the head of the engineering department of our steel rolling mill, which has 10,000 employees. He is like a real brother to me."

(Yi Zhonghai: "Don't take me with you if you're just bragging!")

Father Li: "Oh, this courtyard is full of talented people, no wonder Guangqi is so outstanding."

The two talked about other things and finally agreed to get married next weekend.

On the second day, Sunday, around ten o'clock in the morning, Matchmaker Wang led a girl into the yard.

The neighbors around said, "Oh, what a pretty girl! Whose family is she from? She can't be from Shazhu's family!"

Aunt Li: "Go to hell, how can this Sha Zhu be so lucky! Sha Zhu has been so close to Qin Huairu recently. Which matchmaker is willing to introduce a date to Sha Zhu?"

After watching for a while, everyone realized that Matchmaker Wang took the little girl to the Yan family and they understood that the eldest son of the Yan family was going on a blind date.

Yi Zhonghai saw someone chattering outside the door, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar character in the play, Yu Li! He didn't expect that his time travel would advance all the timelines.

Yu Li shyly followed matchmaker Wang to Yan's house. The aunt brought out some dried fish and flour from her own home to entertain them.

Yan Bugui said to matchmaker Wang, "This is Yu Li, right? I am Yan Jiecheng's father."

Yu Li: "Hello uncle, my name is Yu Li and I am currently doing odd jobs in Sijiu City."

Matchmaker Wang was relieved to see that Yu Li was not as timid as she was when she first arrived. She said, "The Yan family is a family of scholars. Old Yan not only teaches at Red Star Primary School, but is also the manager of the courtyard appointed by the street office."

Yan Jiecheng looked at Yu Li, and was so fascinated by her shy look that he forgot to speak for a moment. Fortunately, Yan Bugui next to him kicked Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng: "Hello, Comrade Yu Li, my name is Yan Jiecheng, and I am currently working as a warehouse manager in a steel mill."

Matchmaker Wang: "Look, Lily, this job is so respectable"

Yu Li nodded shyly, and then the lady brought the dishes and said, "Everyone, eat quickly."

Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi were all drooling over the food. Normally, their family wouldn't be willing to eat these, but today Yan Bugui told them that their eldest brother had paid for the food, so they shouldn't disturb him since he was going on a blind date! They had to hold back their greed.

Yu Li and Matchmaker Wang took their seats and began to eat. Several times, Yan Jiecheng wanted to shovel the food into his own bowl, but was stopped by Yang Ruihua's eyes.

After the meal, Yan Bugui, Wang Matchmaker and others left, leaving the space for Yan Jiecheng.

At this time, Yan Jiecheng in the room said, "Comrade Yu Li, I like you! My monthly salary is 29.5 and it will be increased next year! Are you willing to live with me?"

When Yu Li heard that it was such a high salary, if she added the income from her odd jobs, it would be about 40 yuan a month. And Yan Jiecheng's father also had a job, so she nodded slightly.

The two of them walked out of the room after chatting for a while. Matchmaker Wang asked Yu Li and Yan Jiefangcheng how they liked each other.

The two nodded slightly, and Matchmaker Wang said with a smile, "Teacher Yan, I'm just waiting to attend the wedding."

Yan Bugui naturally knew what the matchmaker meant, so he said, "Okay, then let's go to Yu's house to talk tomorrow"...
