"Lu Cheng is not at home, come to my house for dinner tonight and chat while we eat."
Qin An Ning knew that Wu Yanli had something to say. It was so cold and late, and there was nowhere to go outside. She couldn't just stand in the street and freeze in the wind.
When Wu Yanli heard that Lu Cheng was not at home, she did not bother to be polite with Qin An Ning and nodded in agreement.
The two returned home together. Qin An Ning took off his coat and went straight into the kitchen to prepare cooking. Seeing this, Wu Yanli hurriedly followed him in.
Qin Anning and Lu Cheng rarely eat whole grains at home, so she didn't even think about pretending to be frugal tonight.
With her current income from both the research institute and the pharmaceutical factory, no one would say anything if she eats well.
However, because Wu Yanli was present, Qin An Ning didn't want to use those out-of-season vegetables to cook, so he simply stir-fried spicy and sour shredded potatoes and moo shu pork.
Although there are not many dishes, only two, they are rich in oil and water, with both eggs and meat, and paired with fragrant white rice, it can be said to be quite good.
"Tell me, what have you come up with?" The two of them sat opposite each other, with a small square table in the middle, on which were placed a few plates of simple food.
The two of them didn't need to talk about the rules of not talking while eating or sleeping, and there was no need to beat around the bush. Qin An Ning asked directly.
Wu Yanli's mouth was still stuffed full, her cheeks bulging like a little squirrel storing food.
Hearing this, he chewed faster a few times and swallowed all the food before saying, "I'm planning to find a partner.
You are right. I can't risk my lifelong happiness to get angry with others.
There is nothing worth lingering about the capital anymore, and I don’t have to go back.
Moreover, with so many educated youth going to the countryside every year, how many of them can actually return to the city?
There's no one at home who can help me, so going back would be harder than climbing to the sky."
At this point, Wu Yanli showed a bitter smile on her face, shook her head in self-mockery, and sighed, "Alas, they say that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. This is absolutely true!"
After a moment's silence, she raised her head and continued, "After the New Year, I will be twenty years old, and it's time to make plans for my future.
But let me be frank. I believe the person you introduce to me will not be bad, but we can only know whether the two of us are suitable for each other after we get to know each other.
So, if we don’t end up being attracted to each other, you’re not allowed to have any opinions!” After saying that, Wu Yanli winked at Qin An Ning mischievously.
Qin Anning rolled her eyes at Wu Yanli and said unhappily, "Am I that kind of person in your eyes?"
Wu Yanli chuckled foolishly and said in a flattering manner, "Hey, don't be angry! I just want to make my life better. Since no one loves me, then of course I have to treat myself well."
Hearing her say this, Qin An Ning felt a little relieved. This silly girl finally got it.
"Well, you've learned your lesson this time. Indeed, people should love themselves first."
Qin An Ning saw that Wu Yanli had thought it through clearly, so he stopped beating around the bush and directly mentioned Lu Wen.
"Actually, the person I'm introducing to you is Lu Wen, the cousin of Uncle Lu Cheng. You should know him, right?
He is now a driver in a transport team. You probably know his family situation. He has three older brothers and two older sisters, all of whom are married.
However, their family did not split up. Maybe they planned to wait until Lu Wen got married before splitting up.
My uncle and aunt are both very easy to get along with, and they don't bully their daughters-in-law. But we are in the countryside after all, so do you mind thinking this over carefully? "
I won't hide it from you. Actually, it was Lu Wen who asked me to be a matchmaker. He is interested in you. If you have any thoughts about you, please tell me.
If you think we can develop further, then we can arrange a time for you two to meet formally. You can decide how to proceed from then on. If you don't like him, I can just reject him directly."
Wu Yanli didn't speak for a while, and Qin Anning didn't urge her. The two continued eating, and the topic naturally turned to other things.
After dinner, Wu Yanli rushed to wash the dishes and then went back to the dormitory.
It was already dark by this time. Although it was only a ten-minute walk from here to the pharmaceutical factory dormitory, Qin An Ning was still worried that she would not be safe alone, so she got dressed and went to see her off.
Wu Yanli wanted to refuse, "You really don't have to send me off. I can walk back very quickly. If you send me off, I'll be alone too!"
Qin An Ning grabbed Wu Yanli and walked out without saying anything, "Alright, stop dawdling and hurry up, we're almost at the dormitory now.
You don't have to worry about my safety when I return. After all, our fighting abilities are not even on the same level."
Feeling despised, Wu Yanli glared at Qin An Ning without any momentum. What nonsense are you talking about?
After walking all the way to the bottom of the dormitory building and stopping, Wu Yanli hesitantly said, "Well, how about we meet first?"
In fact, Wu Yanli had met Lu Wen several times before and had a good impression of him.
The young man looks energetic, has a cheerful personality, and is particularly good at taking care of others.
Although his family lives in the countryside, he has a job and his future life will not be a problem.
What's more, she had dealt with Aunt Lu San when she was in the village before, and the Lu family's family tradition is indeed good.
There is a saying in the countryside, "When buying a pig, look at the pen; when marrying a wife, look at the yard." The saying is rough, but the truth is there.
Because she lacked family warmth and love since childhood, she particularly yearns for that warm and harmonious family atmosphere.
The lights downstairs in the dormitory were a little dim, and Wu Yanli had covered most of her face with a scarf, so Qin An Ning couldn't see the real expression on her face at this moment.
However, one could still detect a hint of anticipation in the depths of her clear eyes.
Qin Anning couldn't help but ask again, "Have you really thought it through?"
Wu Yanli nodded heavily. "Well, after thinking it over, we have to take that step first, right?"
Qin Anning nodded, "Okay, just think about it yourself.
When Lu Cheng comes back in a couple of days, we'll have a dinner together and invite you and Lu Wen."
"You should go back quickly. If you catch a cold, Lu Chengzhun will come after me. Be careful on the road!"
Qin An Ning waved his hand and left without looking back.
When I saw Lu Cheng in the space at night, I told him what happened, "When will you be back?"
"I have an appointment to ship out a batch of goods tomorrow night, and then I will go back. I will be home the day after tomorrow."
This time he just wandered around the Northeast and didn't go far.
At this point, Lu Cheng suddenly remembered to ask, "Have you seen the income I put in the space this time?"
