156 Chapter 155, I Guess Itâs A Blind Date
âIs there something you need from him?â Li Xu asked tentatively.
Liang Huimei laughed heartily, âIt can be considered that! Your brother has been on a blind date recently, right?â
Seeing Li Xuâs surprise, Liang Huimei explained, âYour daughter said that she wanted me to search for a suitable girl for your brother. However, I saw that your brother was a little embarrassed, so I thought of coming over to ask you if itâs true!â
Li Xu could not help but laugh. This Yuanyuan was really a smart kid. She never forgot to promote her uncle.
!!
âHeâs not young anymore, itâs time to get married. Do you have a suitable person in mind?â Li Xuâs heart stirred as she asked.
Liang Hui Mei nodded, âYes, I have a daughter, sheâs 24 years old this year. Iâve met your brother, he seems to be a good person. Why donât we let the two of them meet in private?â
Only 24 years old?
Li Xu was a little hesitant. Seeing this, Liang Huimeiâs heart skipped a beat, âWhatâs wrong? Are you unwilling?â
Li Xu had never met her daughter either. Could it be that she had heard of something?
Li Xu hurriedly explained, âItâs not that Iâm unwilling, itâs justâ¦â
She paused for a moment, âYou still donât know about my younger brotherâs situation, right? Heâs from year 69. Heâs 28 years old this year. He had a fiancée before. He originally planned to get married after returning, but after returning, he realized that he wasnât the only one. He had recently broken off the engagement.â
Upon hearing Li Leiâs age, Liang Huimei was stunned.
She had thought that Li Lei was at most 26 years old.
An average boy would enter the army at 17 or 18 years old. After eight years, he would be 25 or 26 years old.
She didnât expect that they would already be 28 years old.
She said her daughter was 24 years old, but she was actually only 23 years old. There was a five-year gap between the two of them, and the gap was quite big.
Therefore, after hearing Li Xuâs words, Liang Huimei was a little hesitant.
Seeing Liang Huimeiâs expression, although Li Xu was a little disappointed, she still said, âBig Sister Liang, although my younger brother is in a hurry to get married, I canât lie to you. If you have any concerns about this matter, Iâll treat it as if you never came here today. I canât let this matter affect our relationship.â
Hearing Li Xuâs words, Liang Huimei felt a little conflicted in her heart.
It just so happened that a customer came to the shop, so Li Xu didnât disturb Liang Huiei, allowing her to think carefully.
After the customer left, Liang Huimei opened her mouth and said, âSister, since youâre so frank, I wonât hide it from you. My daughter has actually been engaged before.â
If not, with how good her daughterâs looks and figure were, she didnât need to set up a blind date, the matchmaker would probably have broken through the door.
âWhen she was twenty years old, she was engaged to a young man in her auntâs village. She was engaged in the middle of the year, but the young man died unexpectedly at the end of the year. The villagers are superstitious, so my daughterâs marriage was delayed.â Liang Huimei didnât say much, âBoth of them have been engaged to other people before, so neither of them should despise the other. As for ageâ¦â
She laughed heartily, âItâs good to be older. When youâre older, you know how to feel distressed for others.â
Most importantly, she felt that she understood Li Xu, she was a good person. If she really succeeded in the future and she had such an elder sister-in-law, her daughter would not be wronged in her in-lawâs family.
Since Liang Huimei had already said so, Li Xu was naturally happy.
âOkay then, when your daughter is free, Iâll call him over and let the two of them meet in private to get to know each other better. What do you think?â
Liang Huimei immediately said, âAlright, my daughter is now working in a factory. Sheâs only free on Saturdays and weekends.â
âThen next Saturday it is, Iâll call him over.â
Liang Huimei was also a straightforward person. She did not hesitate and directly made the decision, âThen letâs do it at 10 oâclock on Saturday morning, Iâll bring my daughter over!â
The two of them hit it off and the matter was settled just like that. Liang Huimei walked away with light steps.
From the moment she saw Li Lei, she knew that choosing this young man was not wrong.
In addition, he was Li Xuâs younger brother. She was even more satisfied.
She heard that he had just returned from the military, so her family must have introduced many people to him. It was only then that Liang Huimei thought of making the first move.
At first, she felt that her daughter had an engagement once, so she was a little embarrassed to mention it to Li Xu. Now that she knew that Li Lei had also been enganged, she was relieved.
That night, Li Xu called home and told Li Lei to be sure to arrive before nine oâclock on Saturday morning and to dress neatly.
She was afraid that Li Lei would not come, so she did not mention the matter of the blind date. She only said that she had something to ask Li Lei for help.
Li Lei was an honest person. He did not ask anything and directly agreed.
On Wednesday afternoon, the red dress and white pants that Li Xu washed for Ji Yuanyuan were all dry. Li Xu helped Ji Yuanyuan change into them and took her to the photo studio to take a single photo.
The photo was done the next day. The girl in the photo had red lips and white teeth, and she was smiling exceptionally brightly.
Li Xu took the photo and 10,000 Yuan to the post office.
Originally, she had planned to give it to them once she had saved up 50,000 Yuan. But now, it seemed that it was a little difficult.
Money was needed everywhere in the family, and she was about to marry Zhang Kun.
She couldnât marry him with a debt of 50,000 Yuan, so it was better to pay back some now. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After coming out of the post office, Li Xu let out a long sigh of relief.
On Saturday morning, Li Lei came with Li Yong.
They arrived before nine oâclock.
Li Lei was wearing the leather coat that Li Yong had bought for him, a pair of black pants underneath, and a watch that Zhang Kun had bought for him on his wrist. It was obvious that he had dressed up well.
In comparison, Li Yong was dressed more casually.
The two of them left the car at the door and entered the shop.
âSister!â Li Lei was in front and greeted Li Xu obediently.
Li Yong followed behind. He grabbed a tomato from the shelf and was about to bite it.
Seeing this, Li Xu said snappily, âDonât you know how to wash it first?â
Li Yong then went to the bathroom in embarrassment and washed the tomatoes in his hands.
...
âSis, what do you need me for?â Li Lei stood beside the cashier counter and asked in a low voice.
âI guess itâs a blind date!â Li Yong came out of the bathroom and said immediately when he heard Li Leiâs words.
Li Leiâs expression was a little surprised and he subconsciously looked at Li Xu.
Li Xu laughed angrily, âYouâre so smart!â
Li Yong shrugged, âI guessed it when you asked my brother to dress up a little more formally, but I was afraid that Brother wouldnât come, so I didnât say anything.â
Li Lei saw Li Xuâs expression and understood that he was indeed here for a blind date.
His expression immediately became a little awkward, âSis, I really donât have the mood. Why donât we let Xiao Yong go?â
He looked at Li Yong, âXiao Yong knows how to talk better than me and is younger than me. His chances of success are higher.â
As he said that, he took off the leather jacket on his body, âThis jacket should be suitable for youâ¦â
âHey, what are you doing? Is there anyone like you?â Li Yong hurriedly dodged backward.
Looking at Li Leiâs expression, Li Xuâs expression darkened.
