A little after twelve noon, Taohua Town State-Owned Hotel.
When Wen Wan and Li Yumei arrived, the state-owned restaurant was already crowded with people.
Pulling Li Yumei in, Wen Guan, who was tall and could see far, took a quick glance and saw Zhang Tao sitting by the window.
"Brother Zhang, I'm sorry for being late." Wen Guan pulled him over and greeted him with a smile.
Hearing the voice, Zhang Tao turned around and stood up, "Sister Wen... Sister Wen, please sit down."
He wanted to ask Wen Wan if the blind date he was introduced to was Comrade Li Yumei?
But he felt that it would be inappropriate to ask in person, so he swallowed the question.
"Sister Yumei, let's do it." Wen Guan didn't hesitate and pulled Li Yumei to sit down.
Li Yumei blushed and sat down under Wen Wan's force.
Wen Wan said calmly, "I have met both of you comrades. Today is different from the past. I will give you a formal introduction."
After that, he raised his hand and said, "Brother Zhang, the person next to me is my good sister Comrade Li Yumei, who works as a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative."
Then he continued to introduce: "Sister Yumei, the comrade opposite is Zhang Tao, the boss of Ning'an Lane, a young man with a lot of ideas and hard work."
Her words were like a signal. Li Yumei and Zhang Tao looked at each other, one blushed, and the other's ears turned red.
The two had met each other on weekdays, but today they both knew it was a blind date, and they couldn't help but feel nervous.
It was Zhang Tao who reacted first and calmed himself down, "Sister Wen, Comrade Li Yumei, I just ordered four taels of rice.
I also ordered braised pork ribs with potatoes, steamed pork with rice flour, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and a pickled cabbage vermicelli soup. Would you like to order anything else?"
He arrived at 11:30, quickly grabbed a seat, and estimated the time to order three servings of food.
Wen Wan coughed lightly, "Brother Zhang, Sister Yumei, I'll go get the dishes and chopsticks."
Then he stood up and walked away, leaving the two of them alone to talk.
Zhang Tao glanced at Li Yumei and asked cautiously, "Comrade Li Yumei, has Sister Wen told you about my family's situation?"
He knew that Li Yumei was a formal employee of the supply and marketing cooperative and her family was also from Taohua Town.
"I did." Li Yumei nodded and responded while suppressing her shyness.
Zhang Tao said seriously: "Comrade Li Yumei, my home is in Taohua Town..."
He repeated the whole situation to Li Yumei in person.
Li Yumei nodded and began to introduce herself. "My family is from Taohua Town. I have three siblings, and I am the youngest. My eldest and second brothers are already married..."
The more Zhang Tao listened, the more unsure he felt. When he first saw Li Yumei, he was ecstatic, but now he felt a little uneasy.
As soon as Li Yumei finished speaking, Zhang Tao continued, "Comrade Li Yumei, I am now doing business at a stall, and I earn about 70 to 80 yuan a month, and it will be a little more when I sell more.
If you and I can continue to be together, after marriage you will be in charge of the money and I will make the money. I will also support you in continuing to work so that you won't have any worries.
When I have a baby, I can let my mother take care of it. She is very good at taking care of children."
The more Li Yumei listened, the brighter her eyes became. Her mother once said that comrades who turned in their wages were good comrades.
Moreover, to be honest, she actually doesn't like Chen Xiu's kind of marriage life. After marriage, she has to take care of work, do housework when she gets home from get off work, and worry about the children when they are sick.
