Li Dawang went to work in the afternoon, and to be honest, he wasn't in a good mood.
Zhang Hongmei went to his house for dinner tomorrow.
He had no other reason to invite her or go to her house.
Although he had been working all afternoon, Huo Jianjun could still tell that he was somewhat distracted.
This is a completely different state from usual!
This can't go on.
Near the end of the workday, Huo Jianjun approached him for a talk.
"Li Dawang, you've been acting strange these past few days. Has something happened at home?"
Li Dawang shook his head: "No!"
"What's wrong with you?"
"They were fine just a couple of days ago."
"What's wrong since your son came back from the hospital?"
"I noticed something was off about you."
Li Dawang gave a wry smile: "It's nothing, I just thought of something."
Huo Jianjun became interested: "Tell me about it, maybe I can help you."
Li Dawang shook his head: "You can't help me."
You're still single, how can you help me?
The less he said, the more excited Huo Jianjun became.
There was no other way, so he brought up his third sister-in-law.
"Whether you tell me or not, if you don't, I'll tell my third sister-in-law when I get home tonight, and she'll definitely find a way to make you talk."
Li Dawang said helplessly, "I'm thinking, what reason can I use to approach someone!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Jianjun's eyes lit up instantly.
"That's easy. It depends on what kind of person you want to get close to, what they do, what their hobbies are, and so on."
Li Dawang looked at him, wanting to hear more.
Huo Jianjun transformed into a dating expert.
"For example, if she likes watching movies, you should take her!"
"Take her to eat whatever she likes!"
"She likes reading, so take her to Xinhua Bookstore, to read books."
"Something in the house is broken, could you help me fix it?"
"Aren't these all just tricks? Or are you just too stupid!"
Li Dawang nodded thoughtfully: "But how can I find out her preferences?"
"Sigh, all the things in the house except for the curtains and door locks."
"What else breaks frequently?"
Huo Jianjun rolled his eyes, completely unlike his usual authoritative factory director.
"That's not simple, it's about the faucet, the stove, the doors and windows."
"Locks, beds, tables, benches, chairs, sofas—aren't there plenty of those?"
"Li Dawang, you can't be so stupid that you don't even know how to pursue a girl, can you?"
"Even though I've never been in a relationship, I know quite a lot!"
"Are you really that stupid?"
Li Dawang suddenly had a flash of inspiration; he felt that Huo Jianjun was right.
There are plenty of things in the house that can break.
Even if only one nail is missing, it's still broken.
He laughed heartily: "Comrade Huo Jianjun! Thank you! I've suddenly understood."
After returning home and having dinner, he stopped sighing and complaining.
The next morning, I got up very early and went to the state-run restaurant to buy several meat buns.
I rode my tricycle to the compound where Zhang Hongmei lived early in the morning.
Everyone in the compound knows him.
He happily gave the old man a steamed bun, then took the rest of the buns inside.
The old man said happily, "Comrade Li, you come here every day, are you and Xiao Zhang dating?"
Li Dawang smiled and said, "Not yet. I'm pursuing her now."
The old gatekeeper smiled and waved his hand: "Go on! Go on!"
"You young people are so carefree, this old man can't keep up with the times!"
"If this isn't dating, what is?"
Li Dawang carried the steamed buns upstairs quickly and knocked on Zhang Hongmei's door.
Zhang Hongmei had just gotten up and thought it was her neighbor calling her over for breakfast.
Without warning, they opened the door.
Who knew it was Li Dawang?
She stared in shock, her eyes wide: "How did you get here at this time?"
Li Dawang chuckled and said, "I bought some meat buns at a state-run restaurant on my way here, so I brought them over for you to have for breakfast."
Zhang Hongmei...!
"No need, you can take it back for Mao Mao to eat! He's growing and needs nutrition."
Li Dawang scratched his head: "I've bought all of his. You should eat quickly, or it will get cold!"
Zhang Hongmei looked outside, but no one outside could do anything about it.
I stepped aside to let him in.
"Why are you up so early this morning? Do you start work at your factory this early?"
Li Dawang waved his hand: "I'm used to it. I saw the steamed buns were freshly made when I got up and passed by, so I thought I'd bring you some."
"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat two, they'll get cold soon."
Zhang Hongmei went to wash her hands and then ladled out two bowls of porridge from the pot.
"You haven't eaten either, have you? Let's eat something together."
Li Dawang nodded and went to get the chopsticks.
Seeing that there were pickled vegetables in the kitchen, he brought them out as well.
He frowned when he saw that there was no food in the other pots.
You work so hard every day, and this is all you eat?
"You eat this every day?"
Zhang Hongmei was a little embarrassed: "No, sometimes I don't have time to cook, so I just eat something quick in the morning."
Li Dawang said with a stern face, "From now on, I'll bring you breakfast every morning."
"I'll bring it to you, so you don't have to bother!"
"You can't eat this every day, it's not nutritious."
"You're so thin, you need to eat more."
Zhang Hongmei waved her hand repeatedly: "No need for that trouble, we all have to go to work."
"It's too much trouble for you to come all this way!"
Li Dawang smiled and said, "I have a tricycle, which I bought when I first came to Beijing."
