"Zhu Qingan? Are you a doctor?"

"This name sounds nice, right? When I first heard it, I also said that this girl had a good name."

"Wanli, do you think you are satisfied?"

"If you are not satisfied, I will pick a few more for you, take your time to choose"

Bai Wanli put down the photo and said, "No need, Auntie, I am very satisfied. As long as it is what you choose, I will be satisfied."

In fact, Yao Ling is in charge of character and family background, so Bai Wanli doesn't worry at all. Bai Wanli will only choose the one with good looks. After all, men always like young and beautiful girls.

With a face value that is exactly the same as that of the Fairy Sister, what else can Bai Wanli be dissatisfied with?

"You, don't say these nice words to your aunt. Tell your wife to go there and see when you can meet the girl and talk about whether it's suitable for you."

"Aunt, you know the situation in the Security Department. I have the final say on when to go to work and when to leave work. I think we should coordinate with Comrade Zhu Qingan to come. How about next Sunday? If she is the factory doctor, this will not affect her work."

"Wanli is really considerate. He knows how to be considerate of the work of a female comrade before we even meet. Okay, I'll go talk to the girl later."

Bai Sihai said happily: "If you two are suitable for each other, you should get married as soon as possible. It is the right thing to do to have two children in three years."

"Uncle, I'll do my best."

Bai Wanli knew that he couldn't communicate with an old man like his uncle who was born in the old times, and he didn't bother to say anything nonsense like enjoying a world of two. It simply wouldn't make sense in this era, so he could only smile bitterly and agree.

After dinner, Bai Sihai asked Bai Wanli to play chess again.

Bai Wanli can play chess, but he only knows a little bit. He just watched an old man play chess when he was walking in the neighborhood before, and he knows the basic rules.

Bai Wanli played three games with Bai Sihai, and was defeated by Bai Sihai in three games. Bai Sihai pointed at him and laughed at him, saying that he was a bad chess player.

Bai Wanli could tolerate his temper and directly called him a disrespectful old man, but Bai Sihai directly hit him with a chess piece.

When it was almost dusk, Bai Wanli was ready to go home.

He wore all the watches that his uncles had bought for him. The watch was small, so he just put it in his pocket. He held the radio in his arms.

The larger sewing machines and bicycles were wrapped in linen and tied to the back seat of the motorcycle with hemp rope.

The main reason for being so careful is to prevent the paint from peeling off due to bumps. After all, this is something prepared for the wedding, and it is always uncomfortable to see the paint peeling off.

After leaving his uncle's house and riding his bike to a deserted place, Bai Wanli put his watch and radio into the warehouse. As for the bicycle and sewing machine, he continued to tie them to the back. Anyway, they were tied quite firmly, and they didn't squeeze him like the radio in his arms, which hindered his riding.

No. 95 Courtyard

Goalkeeper Yan Bugui is online again today

His calculating little eyes were fixed on the door. He had been like this for the whole afternoon, but he didn't feel tired at all. After all, as long as Director Bai could let him slip a few tricks, it would be enough for their family to become rich.

Yan Bugui, who was full of perseverance in calculation, finally waited for Bai Wanli's return. Seeing the large object wrapped in sackcloth on the back of Bai Wanli's motorcycle, Yan Bugui thought to himself: "Didn't Director Bai say he was going to his uncle's house for dinner? Why did he bring something back?"

"But Director Bai has become a senior executive at such a young age. His uncle must also be a high-ranking official. The things loaded on this car must be good stuff. I'll go over and help move some of it. Maybe I can get some benefits."

Yan Bugui, with his mind quick, trotted after Bai Wanli's motorcycle.

"Director Bai, Director Bai!"

In the alley, with the bike loaded with stuff, Bai Wanli couldn't ride very fast. Yan Bugui trotted and followed Bai Wanli to the gate of the courtyard.

"What's the matter, Teacher Yan?" Bai Wanli would not call Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui "uncle" because he was afraid that they would shorten their lifespans. Comrade Xiaobai was really too kind.

"Director Bai, I saw that you brought a lot of things back, so I thought you might need someone to help you move them, so I came here. We are neighbors in the same yard, so it is only right for us to help each other."

Bai Wanli knew that Yan Bugui was here to take advantage of him. He had already mastered a set of free tricks when he was watching short videos in his previous life. It was not so easy to take advantage of him.

"Thank you, Mr. Yan, for helping me unload my bicycle first."

The bicycle was tied horizontally to the back of the motorcycle. The gate across the courtyard was not wide enough. If the bicycle was not removed and pushed in vertically, there was no way to get in.

Yan Bugui's eyes widened: "Is this a bicycle?"

"More than that, the three-wheeler and the one-ring are all here, the radio and the sewing machine are all here, and I put the two watches in my pocket."

It's not that Bai Wanli wants to show off. The bicycle and the watch are things that he will take with him often. When the radio is turned on, some noise can be heard in the yard. Except for the sewing machine, the rest are things that cannot be hidden. Besides, these things are not obtained in a shady way, so there is nothing to hide.

"Thirty-three……"

Yan Bugui nearly choked to death on his own saliva. He had to save money for several years to buy a second-hand bicycle, and he had to wait for an opportunity. Now the Jia family is the only one in the yard that has a sewing machine, and yet you told me you were just going out for lunch, and instead you got all the equipment you needed, including two watches?

Who am I? Where am I? What should I say?

"I am getting ready to get married soon. These are the things my eldest uncle and several uncles prepared for me. I can't let a girl marry here and end up with nothing at home."

"If you call your home a home with nothing even though you live alone in a courtyard, then what do you call my home?"

Yan Bugui was speechless and asked the heaven

"Hey, Teacher Yan, give me a hand."

“Okay okay”

Yan Bugui helped to carry it carefully. If any of these three things got bumped, the compensation would cost him half his life.

"Director Bai is getting married. Which girl is so lucky?"

"The marriage hasn't been decided yet, we've only arranged a blind date."

Yan Bugui was surprised and said, "You've already matched all three turns and one ring just after the blind date?"

"What does it matter? With my conditions, am I still worried about not being able to find a wife?"

Yan Bugui was speechless and choked up

What you said makes a lot of sense, I can't refute it

Yan Jiecheng is also of marriageable age, but he has no formal job and cannot find a good wife.

Of course, one of the reasons is that Yan Bugui wants to save money. He also wants to reduce the gift money for the matchmaker as much as possible, and he doesn't want to pay for Yan Jiecheng's work station. If he saves here and there, wouldn't it be difficult to find a partner?

"People are really different. Director Bai's condition is not only to find someone from the city, but also to find someone with the best conditions. Otherwise, how can he be worthy of her? It's a pity that Jie Di is too young. Otherwise, I would like her to try hard. If she succeeds, I, as a father, don't have to work hard in this life..."

After moving the things into the courtyard, Yan Bugui rubbed his hands and said, "Director Bai, you are getting married, so why don't you set up a few tables in the courtyard so that everyone can have fun together?"

Bai Wanli thought: "It's a familiar recipe, a familiar taste. Are the beasts in this yard addicted to feasting?"

He shook his head and said, "We won't have a banquet. The famine was so severe before, and we don't know how much the harvest will be this year. The country advocates thrift, and it's not appropriate for a cadre like me to eat and drink lavishly. We can just scatter some wedding candies and cigarettes in the yard when the time comes."

Are you kidding? Even if Bai Wanli really wanted to hold a banquet, he would eat with his uncles, aunts, and future father-in-law and mother-in-law. What are these beasts in the yard?

Yan Bugui was full of disappointment. Bai Wanli took out a few White Rabbits from his pocket and stuffed them into Yan Bugui's hands.

"Teacher Yan, thank you for helping me move things. Take these candies to sweeten your mouth."

Without waiting for Yan Bugui's reaction, he pushed him out of the yard and closed the door.

Just move the things from outside the yard into the yard, give a few candies or White Rabbit candies, that's pretty good, the income of a poor farmer can't even be that much.

Don't try to take advantage of me, Bai Wanli, Yan Laokou. But I, a cadre, won't take advantage of you for free. I owe you a favor. I'll settle it right now. We don't owe each other anything.

If you, Mr. Yan, are shameless and still want to take advantage of me, I will punish you without mercy.

Chapter 39 Jia Dongxu Stays Out Overnight

Yan Bugui returned home somewhat distraught. When Yan Jiecheng saw his father's expression, he felt that he must have gotten nothing from Bai Wanli.

On the one hand, he felt that he had lost out, but on the other hand, he was quite happy because both fathers were the same, so he would not appear to be a particularly incompetent son.

Laughing at others is not hateful, and the father and daughter of the Yan family are just like this

Yan Jiecheng squinted his eyes and said in a sarcastic tone:

"You scolded me so vigorously this morning, and I thought you were so capable, but in the end you didn't get anything out of it."

Yan Bugui is a calculating person. He can listen to others saying anything, but he can't listen to others saying that he can't calculate and can't get any benefits. He glared, spread his palms, and said proudly:

"Who said I didn't get anything? Look what this is?"

"Wow! It's a White Rabbit!"

"It smells so good, I can even smell the milk!"

"Old Yan, you are really capable. I have never eaten White Rabbit before."

Old Yan's family is so calculating that they usually eat pickles by the root, so how could they possibly have candy? Even during festivals, they would consider it a good year if they could get two more of the cheapest Cuban candies. Expensive things like White Rabbit would never appear in their house.

Listening to the compliments and exclamations from his wife and children, Yan Bugui raised his chin slightly, looking proud.

"Look, when it comes to calculations, I, Yan, have to look at the abacus. Now, apart from me, who else in the whole courtyard can benefit from Director Bai?"

Yan Bugui was not at all ashamed of having spent his whole life calculating these trivial things. Instead, he was quite proud of it.

Yan Jiecheng looked at the four White Rabbit candies in Yan Bugui's hand and swallowed hard. He was also greedy, but when he thought of what he had just said, he felt embarrassed and deliberately sang the opposite tune.

"What's the big deal? It's just four candies."

Yan Bugui glanced at his eldest son and said, "It's really nothing special. It's a good idea for you not to eat it."

Yan Jiecheng's face turned red with embarrassment. He wanted to eat White Rabbit, but he couldn't bring himself to take back what he had just said, so he stiffened his neck and said, "If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it! What's there for a calculating person like you to be jealous of?"

After saying that, Yan Jiecheng walked out directly. He would not get any of the candy anyway, and if he stayed, he would just be jealous. He might as well go out for a walk and come back later.

Seeing their eldest brother leave, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi, three younger brothers and sisters, remained silent.

They also learned the true meaning of Yan's calculation. There was only so much candy. Now that Yan Jiecheng was gone, there was one less person to share the candy. So each of them could get a little more.

Only the three aunts still care about their sons

"Jiecheng, Jiecheng! It's almost time for dinner. Where are you going? Jiecheng!"

"Don't worry about him, he's just looking for trouble because he's full. He'll come back when he's hungry."

Yan Bugui saw through his eldest son. He had no skills, no money, and couldn't even stay in a guesthouse. There was no need to look for one. He would be back soon.

"Don't just stand there, go get the kitchen knife and divide the candies."

The third aunt ran to get a knife, and Yan Jiekuang asked, "Dad, how do we divide these four candies?"

Even if Yan Jiecheng wasn't there, the Yan family still had three children and two adults. There were only four candies in total, and each person couldn't get one.

"I've already calculated it. Your mother and I will each have half a candy can. You three are still young, so don't eat too much candy, or it will damage your teeth. One third each will be enough."

"what……"

When they heard that there was only one-third, the three children of the Yan family complained and cried out.
