Chapter 155 I guess it's a blind date
"Do you have something to do with him?" Li Xu asked tentatively.
Liang Huimei smiled cheerfully: "I guess so! Your brother is going on a blind date recently, right?"
Seeing Li Xu's surprise, Liang Huimei explained: "Your daughter asked me to introduce someone suitable to your brother. But I felt a little embarrassed when I saw your brother, so I came to ask you if it was true!"
Li Xu laughed. Yuanyuan is such a clever girl. She never forgets to promote her uncle.
"You're not young anymore, it's time to get married. Do you have the right person?" Li Xu asked with an idea in his mind.
Liang Huimei nodded: "Yes, I have a daughter, she is 24 years old this year. I have met your brother, he seems to be a nice guy. How about letting them meet alone?"
Only twenty-four?
Li Xu hesitated a little. Liang Huimei saw this and said in her heart, "What's wrong? Are you unwilling?"
Li Xu has never seen her daughter. Could it be that she heard something?
Li Xu quickly explained: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just..."
She paused for a moment, "You probably don't know about my brother's situation. He was born in 1969 and is 28 years old this year. He had a fiancée before and they were planning to get married when they returned home, but after they returned home they found out that there was more than one person and they just broke off the engagement recently."
When Liang Huimei heard Li Lei's age, she was stunned for a moment.
She thought that Li Lei was no more than 26 years old.
Most boys join the army when they are 17 or 18 years old, and after eight years they are only 25 or 26 years old.
I didn’t expect that I’m already 28 years old.
Her daughter was twenty-four years old, but she was actually only twenty-three. The age difference between the two was five years, which was quite large.
So, after hearing what Li Xu said, Liang Huimei was a little hesitant.
Seeing Liang Huimei's expression, Li Xu was a little disappointed, but still said: "Sister Liang, although my brother is anxious to get married, I can't lie to you. If you have any concerns about this matter, I will pretend that you have never been here today. Don't let this matter affect our relationship."
Listening to Li Xu's words, Liang Huimei felt conflicted again.
Just then a customer came into the store, and Li Xu did not disturb Liang Huimei, allowing her to think carefully.
After the customer left, Liang Huimei spoke up, "Sister, since you are so frank, I won't hide it from you. My daughter is actually engaged."
Otherwise, her daughter is good-looking and in good shape, so she wouldn't have to arrange a blind date for her, as matchmakers would probably come knocking on her door.
"When she was 20, she got engaged to a young man from her aunt's village. The engagement took place in the middle of the year, but the young man died unexpectedly at the end of the year. The people in the village were superstitious, so my daughter was delayed." Liang Huimei didn't say much, "They were both engaged to others, so no one should look down on the other. As for age..."
She smiled brightly, "It's good to be older. When you are older, you know how to care for others."
The most important point is that she thinks she knows Li Xu well and that she is a good person. If this really happens in the future, with such a sister-in-law, her daughter will not be able to bear the grievances in her husband's family.
Since Liang Huimei said so, Li Xu was naturally happy.
"Okay, when your daughter is free, I'll call him over so that the two of them can meet alone and get to know each other. What do you think?"
Liang Huimei immediately said, "Okay, my daughter is working in a factory now, and she is only free on Saturdays and weekends."
"Then let's go next Saturday. I'll ask him to come over."
Liang Huimei is also a straightforward person. She didn't hesitate and made the decision directly: "Then I'll bring my daughter here at ten o'clock on Saturday morning!"
The two of them hit it off immediately, and the matter was settled. Liang Huimei walked away with brisk steps.
From the first moment she saw Li Lei, she knew that this young man was right.
And since he is Li Xu's younger brother, she is even more satisfied.
I heard that he had just returned from the army, and his family must have introduced many people to him, so Liang Huimei thought of taking the initiative.
She was a little embarrassed to mention it to Li Xu because her daughter had been engaged before. But now that she knew Li Lei was also engaged, she felt relieved.
Li Xu called home that night and told Li Lei to arrive before nine o'clock on Saturday morning and to dress neatly.
She was afraid that Li Lei would not come, so she did not mention the blind date, but only said that she had something and needed Li Lei's help.
Li Lei was an honest man. He agreed without asking any questions.
On Wednesday afternoon, the red skirt and white pants that Li Xu washed for Ji Yuanyuan were both dry. Li Xu helped Ji Yuanyuan put them on and took her to the photo studio to take a solo photo.
The photo came out the next day. The little girl in the photo had red lips and white teeth, and her smile was particularly bright.
Li Xu went to the post office with the photos and ten thousand yuan.
She originally planned to give them all the money in one lump sum once she had saved up 50,000 yuan, but now it seemed a bit difficult.
Money is needed everywhere at home, and she is about to marry Zhang Kun.
I can't marry someone with a debt of 50,000 yuan, so I'll pay back as much as I can now.
Coming out of the post office, Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
On Saturday morning, Li Lei came with Li Yong.
Before nine o'clock, the two men arrived.
Li Lei was wearing the leather jacket that Li Yong bought for him, a pair of black pants, and a watch that Zhang Kun bought for him. It was obvious that he had dressed up well.
In comparison, Li Yong's clothes were more casual.
The two men parked the car at the door and entered the store.
"Sister!" Li Lei was in front, greeting Li Xu politely.
Li Yong followed behind and picked up a tomato from the shelf and started to eat it.
Seeing this, Li Xu said unhappily, "Don't you know how to wash yourself?"
Li Yong then went to the bathroom embarrassedly and washed the tomatoes on his hands.
"Sister, what do you want me to do for you?" Li Lei asked in a low voice while standing next to the cashier counter.
"I guess it's a blind date!" Li Yong came out of the bathroom and said immediately after hearing Li Lei's words.
Li Lei's expression was a little surprised, and he subconsciously looked at Li Xu.
Li Xu laughed angrily: "You are the only one who is smart!"
Li Yong shrugged: "I guessed it when you asked my brother to dress formally, but I was afraid that my brother would not come, so I didn't tell him."
When Li Lei saw Li Xu's expression, he understood that this time he came here for a blind date.
His expression suddenly became a little awkward, "Sister, I really don't have the heart to do it, why don't you let Xiaoyong go."
He looked at Li Yong, "Xiaoyong is better at speaking than me and younger than me, so he has a higher chance of success."
As he said that, he took off his leather jacket and said, "This piece of clothing should be suitable for you..."
"Hey, what are you doing? How can you be like this?" Li Yong quickly hid backwards.
Looking at Li Lei's appearance, Li Xu's face darkened.
