The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 30 Sha Zhu wants to go on a blind date

"Comrade, I want a desk lamp."

Liu Hua greeted him politely. He had to be impolite because he was a salesperson from the supply and marketing cooperative. If you live in this area, you have to deal with him.

If you impress others today, they will make your life impressive tomorrow. Unless you want to always get inferior products when you buy things or have to wait for a long time before your turn, you should be polite.

The salesperson put away the melon seeds in his hand, and when he saw such a handsome young man, he immediately smiled and said, "Oh, this boy is so handsome and energetic. How old is he this year?"

"Less than nineteen."

"Have you started working? Do you have a partner? Do you want me to introduce you to someone?"

Too enthusiastic. It seems that Mu Yan is not a new thing. No matter what era, when seeing good-looking, pretty, or handsome people, everyone is willing to take a second look and their attitude is also enthusiastic.

"I just started working and I'm not stable yet. I'm not considering dating for the time being." Liu Hua quickly shirked the responsibility: "Auntie, can you help me get a lamp? The green one?"

"Look how polite this guy is. Do you have an industrial ticket?"

"Have."

Liu Hua took out the industrial ticket and the banknotes and placed them on the counter. The salesperson quickly issued the invoice, then flew over the wire to the cashier, neatly wrapped up the lamp, and handed it to Liu Hua.

Finally, she gave him a few words of advice: "Young man, whenever you want to date someone, go find your aunt. She has a niece who is very pretty and she is only seventeen years old this year."

Although he didn't have a girlfriend in his previous life, he was used to driving on the Internet. It was impossible for him to run away just because of these two sentences from his aunt.

Liu Hua calmly asked for two more stacks of writing paper and a bottle of black ink.

When we got out of the supply and marketing cooperative, my aunt smiled and said, "This young man is really good, generous, not shy, good-looking, and he is a man who can accomplish things."

When I returned to the courtyard with a desk lamp, letter paper and ink, the third uncle had already returned. He was standing at his post, looking around with sharp eyes.

Seeing Liu Hua holding something in his hand, the uncle was delighted at first, but then shook his head helplessly and greeted Liu Hua listlessly: "Hua Zi, you got off work early today."

"My boss gave me half a day off today to deal with some personal matters."

After Liu Hua entered the yard, the third uncle muttered, "This kid doesn't know how to live. Why did he buy these things if they are not for eating or drinking?"

Liu Hua just didn't hear it, otherwise he would have to know what a pattern is. He keeps settling small scores every day, which has led to his loss of character and his chances. No wonder the third uncle can only work on a dung cart and taste the saltiness of food.

When making a draft, there were no computers, no WPS, and no Word in those days. There was no way to use a computer for typeset work or automatic error correction. I could only make a draft, then slowly revise it, and finally copy it.

When he had written half of the draft, he heard a commotion in the yard. Liu Hua opened the window and looked over. He saw Qin Huairu holding her waist, and Jia Dongxu standing beside her with a rare tenderness on his face.

Sha Zhu walked over indignantly. Liu Hua asked curiously, "Zhu Zi, what's going on? I see Jia Zhang's face is about to bloom with joy."

"Qin Huairu is pregnant again." Sha Zhu said sourly, "Jia Dongxu is really lucky. Sister Qin has given birth to two children for him, and Jia Zhang is showing off that she is going to have another grandson."

Liu Hua said jokingly, "Hey, why do you feel sour? Sister Qin has already given birth to two children for him. What's the matter? It's a pity that she didn't give birth to one for you?" Sha Zhu immediately became anxious and said quickly, "Don't say that nonsense. I'm just anxious. He's going to have three children, and I'm not even married yet."

Liu Hua smiled and shook his head: "Who can you blame for not getting married? It's all your own fault. Besides, you found a matchmaker, didn't you? Is there any follow-up?"

"The day after tomorrow, Beihai Park." Sha Zhu said proudly: "The matchmaker said that the other party is a female worker in a textile factory, and she is not bad looking. I think my hope is very high."

Mysterious self-confidence. Liu Hua’s first feeling was where this silly Zhu’s self-confidence came from.

"We haven't even met yet, but you feel like you have great hope. Where does this feeling come from?"

"Because I'm not bad either."

"The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." Liu Hua warned: "Of course, I'm not cursing you, I'm telling you not to be so arrogant. On the day of the blind date, dress yourself up and don't look like a new son-in-law."

"Why, isn't it about showing your best side?"

Liu Hua looked Sha Zhu up and down, and could only say that he was powerless to do anything about this honor. Perhaps Teacher Tony in the future could help save the situation.

"Appearance has never been your strong point." Liu Hua smiled: "You just need to be clean and tidy and not be annoying. Your strong points are your craftsmanship and your honest and loyal character. The most important thing is to tell the truth to others and introduce the situation of our hospital so that the girl can be mentally prepared."

Sha Zhu nodded: "That's right, there are too many donkeys, balls and horses in our courtyard, so the girl must be mentally prepared."

After saying that, Sha Zhu poked his head to look at Liu Hua's desk and said, "I heard that you bought furniture today, and you bought this one."

"Well, buy a desk so it will be more convenient for studying."

"Yu Shui is also in school, should I buy him one too?"

"Sure, but you don't need me to be so good."

After Sha Zhu left, Liu Hua put down his pen. He remembered that both the TV series and the novel said that Huaihua was a posthumous child, which means that according to normal course of events, Jia Dongxu would not be far from death.

Although the TV series did not show what Jia Dongxu was like during his lifetime, after Jia Dongxu's death, Jia Zhang's unreasonable behavior was obvious to all, and Qin Huairu also started to act like a green tea to him.

I don’t know if Sha Zhu can get married before this, otherwise I’m afraid he won’t be able to withstand Qin Huairu, the thousand-year-old fox demon.

Liu Hua sat on a chair and watched. Jia Zhang was grinning from ear to ear, and even Yi Zhonghai was smiling. This guy had invested too much in his retirement and he had also put himself in the role of Jia Dongxu's father. Unfortunately, the happier he was now, the more lonely he would be in the future.

We cannot say how bad these people are, we can only say that they are very selfish, so selfish that they only have themselves in their narrow minds. How can there not be talented people in such an environment?

Liu Hua had no intention of continuing writing, so he simply put away the manuscript paper as he had important things to do tonight.

I made an appointment with the descendant of the double-listed Jinshi and Hanlin Academy member to buy some old paper and ink. This is a relatively niche collection, and I don’t know where Liu Hua’s interest in it came from.

He closed his eyes and rested until the second half of the night. There was no sound in the quiet courtyard. Liu Hua got up quickly, changed into his night clothes, and climbed over the wall of the courtyard.
