Chapter 48 The Liu Sisters, Liu Chunlan
He Yuzhu would be a fool to refuse if someone offered to help him.
I'm just here to get by; I'll slack off whenever I can.
Captain Wang quickly led two older women over, introduced them to each other, and then busied himself with other matters.
The two women were both middle-aged, around forty years old. One of them was surnamed Wang, and the other was surnamed Liu.
The two older women seemed to be outgoing and friendly, and after just a few meetings, they immediately started asking He Yuzhu all sorts of questions.
Among them, Sister Wang looked at He Yuzhu with eyes full of expectation. If it weren't for her clear eyes, He Yuzhu would have thought she wanted to have an affair with a younger woman.
"Director He, how old are you to be a director?"
"Sister Wang, I'm already nineteen years old. Besides, as the director, I only oversee about ten people; I'm not really a leader."
"Wow, that's impressive! Director He, how much is your monthly salary?"
Sister Wang was even more pleased when He Yuzhu introduced himself as the director of the guesthouse.
"Sister Liu, my salary is only a few hundred thousand."
"My goodness, that's a lot! You city folks have it so good."
"Yes, Director He, do you have a boyfriend?"
"What, Sister Wang, are you planning to introduce me to someone?"
"Yes, if you don't have a boyfriend, I can introduce you to my eldest daughter. She's the most beautiful girl in the surrounding villages."
"I believe you. You were very beautiful when you were young, Sister Wang. Sister Wang, are you thirty years old? Your eldest daughter isn't still in elementary school, is she?"
"Haha, Director He, you really know how to talk. I'm already thirty-eight years old, why would you say I'm thirty?"
"Hmm, no wonder he's a leader, Director He is indeed different."
Sister Wang and Sister Liu, the two older sisters, were helping He Yuzhu prepare the ingredients and steam the buns while chatting and laughing.
They are also the main cooks at home, although their stir-fries aren't as good as He Yuzhu's. They do a good job of steaming buns and washing vegetables.
With the help of two people, cooking for over thirty people became much easier for He Yuzhu.
The three of them were preparing a meal, while the agricultural support team from the steel mill was busy helping the villagers repair their farm tools.
He Yuzhu didn't put on airs; on the contrary, he was happy to chat with the two older women.
As for the other party's offer to introduce him to someone, He Yuzhu decided to take it with a grain of salt.
However, it's true that He Yuzhu did think Sister Wang was quite good-looking; even at thirty-eight, she still retained her charm.
"Director He, why don't you stay at my house tonight? Anyway, each of you agricultural support team members has to find a family to stay with."
It seems that Sister Wang is genuinely considering introducing her eldest daughter to He Yuzhu.
She kept encouraging He Yuzhu to stay at her house, and He Yuzhu's interest was piqued by her words.
Whether it works or not, it's always good to go there and see for yourself.
"Sure, it's a good time to go back and see Brother Liu, and see if he's as handsome as Sister Wang said."
"My husband, Lao Liu, has become dark and thin now because he's getting old and works in the fields every day. He used to be a handsome young man."
Wang Jie looked happy when she talked about her husband, and He Yuzhu was also happy for her.
It seems that Sister Wang and Brother Liu are truly in love.
Wangjiazhuang Commune has two major surnames: Wang and Liu.
The two older sisters are the representatives: Sister Wang and Sister Liu.
Meanwhile, Wang Jie's husband's surname is Liu, which is considered a beautiful story in Wangjiazhuang Commune.
Here, people with the surname Wang usually marry people with the surname Liu, and people with the surname Liu also marry people with the surname Wang.
Besides the two major surnames, Wang and Liu, there are a few other surnames as well.
At noon, He Yuzhu cooked a big pot of food for everyone. The aroma wafted outside, making the villagers extremely envious.
They already envied the city dwellers for their good food, and this only confirmed that rumor. Just the smell made their mouths water; how delicious it would be to actually eat it!
Many workers at the steel rolling mill had never actually eaten a meal cooked by He Yuzhu.
I'd only heard that the head of the guesthouse was a double-level three chef, because they usually ate in several large canteens.
He Yuzhu stayed at the guesthouse, and only when he ate special meals with the leaders could he taste the food he cooked.
Everyone got a good meal today, so at lunchtime, everyone praised He Yuzhu's cooking skills while eating.
Section Chief Sun of the Labor and Wages Department gave everyone a briefing on He Yuzhu's past.
When everyone heard that He Yuzhu had been invited to the steel rolling mill by Lou Bancheng with a salary of one million yuan, everyone admired He Yuzhu even more.
Many people feel that working in the workshop is not as good as learning to cook from He Yuzhu.
Even an eighth-grade worker only earns 990,000 yuan, while He Yuzhu is now earning 1 million yuan.
Even Sister Wang and Sister Liu, who were eating their meals nearby, were stunned.
When they asked He Yuzhu this morning, he said he earns hundreds of thousands of yuan a month, which already made them think that He Yuzhu was amazing.
I only found out now that the other person was already earning a million-dollar salary at the age of seventeen.
This made Sister Wang's original plan even more urgent.
If my eldest daughter marries He Yuzhu, wouldn't she be living the dream?
Sister Wang hurriedly put down her bowl and went home to explain things. She didn't want He Yuzhu to be disappointed when he saw his eldest daughter.
Dinner was served around 5 p.m., and it was almost 6:30 p.m. by the time we finished cleaning up.
He Yuzhu carried his luggage and followed Sister Wang toward the other party's house.
Upon arriving at a small courtyard, I saw several people waiting at the entrance.
"Boss, this is Chief He. Chief He, this is my boss, Liu Dazhi."
"Brother Liu, hello, I'm He Yuzhu."
"Hello, Director He, please come inside."
Liu Dazhi is clearly not the sociable type, while Sister Wang is more cheerful and loves to laugh.
He Yuzhu also met Liu Dazhi's parents, as well as his four daughters and one son.
Liu Dazhi is indeed the handsome middle-aged man type, just as Sister Wang said.
The parents' good genes also made their children quite good-looking.
Especially her four daughters, standing in a row, like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums.
Liu Dazhi's daughters, from oldest to youngest, are Liu Yuchun, Liu Yulan, Liu Yuqiu, and Liu Yuju.
Liu Yuchun is eighteen years old this year.
Liu Yulan is sixteen years old this year.
Liu Yuqiu and Liu Yuju are twins who are fourteen years old this year.
The youngest son of the Liu family is named Liu Dawei, and he is twelve years old this year.
In particular, Liu Yulan, the second sister of the Liu family, looks just like a young Fan Bingbing. If not exactly the same, they are at least 90% alike.
He Yuzhu was startled when he first saw the other party.
Seizing the opportunity, He Yuzhu also tested the other party.
"Big Black Bull, 800 million, Golden Lock."
"Director He, what do you mean?"
"It's nothing, I just said it offhand."
Liu Yulan smiled and thought that Director He from the city was kind of adorably silly.
He Yuzhu patted his chest, thank goodness, thank goodness, he didn't encounter a double transmigration plot.
When Sister Wang and Liu Dazhi saw their second daughter interacting with He Yuzhu, they exchanged glances and both felt something was amiss.
For the Liu family, having a daughter who is too beautiful is not necessarily a good thing, as it always puts them in a dilemma of choice.
Not to mention Wangjiazhuang Commune, people from several nearby communes also came to propose marriage.
But living in the capital, Liu Dazhi and Sister Wang had also dreamed of marrying their daughters in the capital.
If the daughter is doing well, she can help out the younger son in the future.
Although they don't say it out loud, the fact that the Liu family had four daughters in a row and still wanted to have a son shows that they were somewhat sexist.
He Yuzhu also noticed that the clothes worn by Liu Yuchun and her sisters were patched one after another.
Only the youngest son, Liu Dawei, was wearing the most complete clothes.
This afternoon, Liu Yuchun heard her mother mention that a young cadre had come to the commune, with a monthly salary of one million.
To be honest, Liu Yuchun was quite insecure when she heard that the other party's conditions were so good.
Although she is very beautiful, beauty doesn't put food on the table these days.
Many beautiful girls are willing to do anything to marry into the city.
As a result, they mostly chose divorced men with children, or widowed or disabled men.
Let alone cadres, even ordinary workers wouldn't easily marry a girl from the countryside.
These days, without a special reason, marrying a girl from the countryside is a sign of incompetence. The gap between urban and rural areas is so wide that people would rather marry an ordinary city girl than look for one in the countryside.
Just like Liu Yuchun, who is clearly very beautiful and outstanding, only a few young men from nearby communes have come to propose marriage so far.
Upon first seeing He Yuzhu's qualifications, Liu Yuchun really lacked confidence.
Because she had been hit hard several times recently, Liu Yuchun wouldn't have dared to have such thoughts if her mother hadn't brought it up today.
Especially when you see He Yuzhu himself, he is tall and handsome.
The key point was that the other party was dressed in a Zhongshan cadre uniform and was wearing a watch, which immediately dealt Liu Yuchun a heavy blow.
This disparity in status and wealth made Liu Yuchun sound rather hesitant when speaking.
Fortunately, after they met, the other party was very polite in their conversation.
He Yuzhu didn't have that arrogant feeling, which gave Liu Yuchun a bit of confidence again.
However, this confidence did not give her enough courage. In the village, the men from the other communes saw her as a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
He Yuzhu seemed very natural around her, both in his speech and in his gaze.
She was no different from the others, and this behavior made Liu Yuchun start to get anxious.
Liu Yuchun knew very well that if she missed this man, she would never find someone with such good qualities, no matter how hard she tried to find a matchmaker.
Whenever He Yuzhu showed even the slightest interest in her, Liu Yuchun would eagerly reciprocate. The fact that He Yuzhu acted so normally already spoke volumes.
He Yuzhu was no ordinary person; he genuinely didn't care whether the other person was from the countryside or the city.
Anyway, he had already decided to marry a woman who would treat him like a man and take good care of him.
City girls do have jobs, but the problem is they might not know how to take care of you. They might even throw in a tirade against you, advocating for gender equality.
He Yuzhu came to this era to enjoy life, not to suffer.
