Soon, the two came to an alley that seemed a bit crowded and messy, with many families living on both sides.
Ran Qiuye knocked on a nearby yard and asked, "Aunt Zhang, are you home?"
Soon, a woman in her forties opened the door, "Hey, Teacher Ran, why are you here?"
Nowadays, intellectuals are still respected.
"Aunt Zhang, this is electrician Master Li. I introduced him to repair your circuits." Ran Qiuye introduced Li Qinghe to the other party.
Aunt Zhang looked at Li Qinghe and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, my husband's brother said that an electrician is coming over. Master Li, please come in."
"No trouble." Li Qinghe pushed the cart in with a smile, turned around and said to Ran Qiuye: "Thank you, Teacher Ran. If it weren't for you, I would have to look for a while longer."
"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake, I'll go back first." Ran Qiuye waved his hand.
"Okay, I'll get to work first."
"Teacher Ran, why don't you come in and sit for a while? I'll pour you some tea." Aunt Zhang tried to persuade her to stay.
"No, I have to go back to cook. I won't bother you anymore." Ran Qiuye refused.
Nowadays, every family has to plan their food intake carefully. If you visit someone's house for no reason, the person might go hungry. Therefore, many people are most afraid of having other people come to their house.
"Okay then, Teacher Ran, I'll see you off. Remember to come often in the future."
"Okay, I'm going back now. Please stay. You don't have to see me off."
"Mom, who's here?" At this time, a figure poked his head out from the second floor.
Li Qinghe looked up and saw a woman in her twenties looking down curiously. She had two ponytails, a clean and fresh face, and a hint of shrewdness in her eyes.
The clothes were simple and even a little whitish from washing, but they were very clean.
Li Qinghe didn't look at it for long, just smiled and nodded as a greeting, then went to park the car by the wall and took down the toolbox tied to the back seat. It was made of solid wood and was quite heavy.
But You Fengxia upstairs was attracted by Li Qinghe.
His clothes were neat and tidy, the most fashionable style, and his appearance was impeccable, especially his physique. In all her years, she had never seen many men as strong as him.
Moreover, from the looks of him, I can tell that he is about the same age as me. The fact that he owns a bicycle at such a young age means that he either comes from a well-off family or has the ability to earn money. At the very least, his salary must be quite high.
Suddenly, I felt my heart was a little upset, and I said in a soft voice: "Mom, who is this?"
I wondered if this was the blind date my family had arranged for me.
"This is Master Li, the electrician from the steel rolling mill. He's here to help us check the circuit. The light bulb burned out again this morning." Aunt Zhang explained, looking at Li Qinghe from time to time.
My daughter has been on several blind dates, but has never found one that she likes. Either they think the guy is not good-looking, or his family conditions are not good, or his job is too bad.
You Fengxia is also twenty years old, so naturally they have to worry about their daughter's marriage.
Seeing that Li Qinghe had parked the car, he stepped forward and said, "Master Li, I'm sorry to bother you today."
Li Qinghe followed him into the house, carrying a toolbox and smiling politely.
Upstairs, You Fengxia was a little disappointed to see that Li Qinghe was not here for a blind date, but she was also a little excited.
Being an electrician, or working in a steel rolling mill, is a good and respectable job. And one has to be educated, because after all, one has to take a certification test, and an illiterate person obviously has no chance.
The key is good looks, which is what I have always been looking for.
Seeing Li Qinghe coming in, he hurried down and said, "Master Li, I'll help you get the box."
"No, the tools are heavy, I can do it myself." Li Qinghe declined.
You Fengxia was just looking for an excuse to strike up a conversation, she didn't insist on helping, she rolled her eyes and asked, "Master Li, your electrician's salary should be very high, right?"
"Fortunately, it's enough to support myself." Li Qinghe responded, looked at Aunt Zhang and asked, "Is this the room?"
"Yes, that's it. I don't know what happened, but several light bulbs have flashed in these days." Aunt Zhang nodded and was about to greet Li Qinghe, but You Fengxia took the lead.
He tidied up the house quickly.
But it wasn't that busy, as her family wasn't well off, so she just put in some stools, kettles and other things.
After entering the room, Li Qinghe took a quick look around and saw a bunk bed and a single wooden bed, separated by a curtain.
There was a light bulb hanging overhead, connected to a pull cord, but the inside of the bulb was noticeably black, obviously burned out.
"The conditions are simple, please don't mind." You Fengxia blushed a little.
"How could that be?" Li Qinghe said with a smile. Most families these days are like this, and many are even worse off than You Fengxia's family.
I squatted down and started to pick up the tools. Aunt Zhang followed behind me and scolded me, "You kid, when people come, you don't even bother to pour them a glass of water."
"No, I'm not thirsty. I drank before coming here." Li Qinghe declined and started to check with tools.
Aunt Zhang gave You Fengxia a look, and she understood immediately and quickly poured a glass of water, "Master Li, drink some water before you work."
"Thank you. Please leave it there until I check it. It will be difficult to do it after dark."
"Okay, just leave it there for now, young man. I'll go cook. Come stay for dinner in the evening." Aunt Zhang invited with a smile.
Li Qinghe kept busy and replied, "Aunt Zhang, you are too polite. I will just go back and eat. I won't bother you."
Aunt Zhang continued to insist, "That won't work. You're here to help us, so how can you not just ignore the food?"
Li Qinghe turned back helplessly, "Really, no need. I'm not being polite. I have something to do tonight. I made an appointment with someone and I can't break my promise."
In fact, he had nothing to worry about at night. The main reason was that he didn't want to stay. Not only was there nothing to eat, but he also had to take up other people's food, which was not easy, so he didn't want to cause trouble to others.
