Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Yan Bugui must have recognized Li Dongfang's voice and immediately came out and said, "Dongfang, what's up? Jie Cheng is going on a blind date today. If you don't have anything important to do..."

"Oh! What a coincidence! I have to check for Jie Cheng then." Li Dongfang didn't care whether Yan Bugui was willing or not and stepped directly into the room.

Sitting at the dining table in the room were the five members of the Yan family plus the matchmaker Mrs. Zhang, and the woman whose back he glanced at from afar. When he saw the woman clearly, Li Dongfang felt mixed emotions. This woman was definitely not simple. He had seen so many women, but none of them had the gentle temperament of this woman. If there had to be a word to describe her, it would be a lady from a noble family. Maybe her appearance was not very stunning, but that feeling that seemed to be able to penetrate into his heart had a fatal attraction to him.

Li Dongfang was a little absent-minded for a moment, until Mrs. Zhang's unhappy voice came, "Teacher Yan, did your family invite someone else?"

Li Dongfang was awakened at this moment and looked at the table. This Yan Laokou really lived up to his reputation. Not counting the four dishes prepared by the seven of them, and not even a trace of meat, there were two cold dishes, stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and cold-mixed radish and peanuts!

Even so, it's not too much to say that the matchmaker is unhappy. I've never heard of any blind date that's so shabby.

"No, no, Mrs. Zhang, this is a neighbor from our yard. She's here to visit. Don't get me wrong." Yan Bugui said as he winked at Li Dongfang, suggesting that he should leave quickly.

Now that he has seen his blind date, he feels that he needs to prevent this outstanding woman from falling into the fire pit of the Yan family. Thinking about Yu Li's life in the plot, Li Dongfang feels that he is more suitable for this outstanding person.

Without paying any attention to Yan Bugui's hint, Li Dongfang directly sat in Yan Bugui's original seat and said, "Third Uncle, you are here for a blind date? How can you give this to a girl? Considering your family's situation, you have so many mouths to feed, and you didn't even tell me when something happened. You can go to my place and get some meat or something."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang became even more dissatisfied. She couldn't help but look at Yan Bugui, wanting him to give an explanation.

Yan Bugui was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he didn't dare to show his displeasure to Li Dongfang. Firstly, he was still hoping that Li Dongfang could help his son find a job, and secondly, he thought about what would happen to those who had conflicts with Li Dongfang in the hospital.

"Dongfang, you didn't come back yesterday. Besides, who in the entire Nanluoguxiang can compare with you?"

Yan Jiecheng also nodded and said, "Brother Dongfang, you also know the situation of my family. You have to think about my brother when the steel mill is recruiting workers this time."

When Yan Bugui heard what Yan Jiecheng said, a look of relief appeared on his face. Jiecheng had grown up and knew how to share the burden of the family. If his salary could be handed over to the family, the situation at home would be much easier.

Now Yan Bugui didn't care what the matchmaker and the girl thought. He didn't like the girl anyway. She looked difficult to give birth. He might as well take the opportunity to see if he could secure a job for his son.

"Hey~~? Third uncle, today is a good day for Jie Cheng to go on a blind date. Why talk about other things? I'm just here to join in the fun. You guys chat and don't bother me." Before Yan Bugui could continue speaking, Li Dongfang looked unwilling to join in.

"Can you work in a steel mill?" Before anyone else could say anything, Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up. Let alone work, who doesn't want to work in a factory these days, especially a big one like a steel mill? Just look at Li Dongfang's power. If he is not married, she can get in touch with him and introduce him to a partner. Not to mention other things, just with this high-quality resource, those who ask her to be a matchmaker will come to her door in droves, and she will definitely make a fortune.

Yan Bugui was still considering how to say this. What if the matchmaker knew about Li Dongfang's situation? If there were any good girls, wouldn't he be given priority to introduce them to him? Then, it would be even more difficult to say when Jie Cheng's marriage would be delayed.

But Yan Jiecheng didn't have so many thoughts. He didn't fancy the girl anyway, so he didn't worry about it. He said, "You don't know that my brother Dongfang is not an ordinary person. As for the steel mill, his words are definitely effective. Let me tell you, the deputy director of the steel mill is my brother Dongfang. As for his other identities... I won't say anything."

Yan Jiecheng's proud look instantly destroyed Yan Bugui's view of him as a grown-up. He was just a fool without any brains at all!

At this point, Yan Bugui didn't know what to say, and said with a dry smile: "Since you are here, Dongfang, just have a meal with us."

"No, no, you guys eat, I'll just sit here and leave, I'm working on the pillars over there." As Li Dongfang was speaking, he smelled the aroma of food wafting from outside. He knew it was braised liver tips, the aroma made people drool. Even the girl who had been keeping her head down and not saying anything, fanned her nose a few times and secretly swallowed her saliva.

Li Dongfang blinked and said to Yan Jiecheng, "Jiecheng, why don't you talk to the girl? Are you not interested in her?"

Yan Jiecheng smiled awkwardly and said, "I...I just wanted to stabilize my job first before considering personal issues. It's my dad who is anxious..."

This was the same as saying that he didn't like her. Yan Bugui wanted to slap Yan Jiecheng, the fool, in the face. How embarrassing would it be to say this to the girl's face? Even the matchmaker had to give in to the offender.

As expected, Mrs. Zhang's face immediately fell, and she pulled the girl up and said, "In this case, I don't think it's necessary to eat this meal, so I won't disturb you. Zhijian, let's go."

Yan Bugui glared at Yan Jiecheng and quickly advised Mrs. Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, Jiecheng can't talk. Don't be angry. Let's eat first before leaving."

Mrs. Zhang ignored Yan Bugui. "With your family being so stingy, who wants to eat your food? Haven't you given up on our daughter?"

Li Dongfang was happy to see the blind date fail, but he still said to Yan Jiecheng in a hateful way: "Jiecheng, what you said...ah!"

As he spoke, Li Dongfang also stood up and followed Yan Bugui out. He pulled Yan Bugui, who was still trying to persuade him, and whispered, "Third Uncle, you are blaming me for not coming. Let me go and persuade them, and you can go back first."

Yan Bugui always felt that what Li Dongfang said was not right. How can you persuade him? This is not your family's business.

"Aunt Zhang, please stay. You see, I'm single. Why don't you come over to my place and sit down? I'll tell you about my situation. If you find a suitable girl, can you help me find one?" Li Dongfang took two quick steps and caught up with Aunt Zhang.
