Chapter 289 Isolation



He Xiaojie has gotten so far that she has been able to ignore the pressure to get married and doesn't take it to heart at all.

While struggling with the chicken wings in her hands, she said incoherently, "Grandma, my dad is not in a hurry, let's wait a little longer.

It's all my mom's fault. She didn't even find me some good quality ones to choose from. They're all just crooked and ugly. Not only are they not as good-looking, but their salary is even lower than mine, and they still have a lot of demands on me."

Isn’t He Chunsheng anxious?

He has already given up.

Anyway, he already has a grandson, so if his daughter wants to wait a few years, let her wait. It’s not like she can’t get married anyway.

"So I'm a nobody, and I'm worried about you, right?"

Wang Taozhi glanced at her and said, "I'll ask Li Duoliang tomorrow to see if he has anyone suitable. Some matchmakers are so unreliable that they can even make the dead look alive. Let alone Xiaojie, I wouldn't even consider her."

"Mom doesn't have high expectations of you. There's only one thing: you must get married before you turn 25. Otherwise, you'll be laughed at when you go out."

"Okay, I remember that, Mom. Don't go looking for Brother Duoliang, he's busy."

"What's he busy about? He just got a promotion for some small accomplishments. I saw him going out a lot on weekends."

"That's because he's popular."

"That's right. With his looks, all the girls out there only treat him as a friend. Meng Qian can definitely rest assured."

Meng Qian was the person Li Duoliang brought home last time.

She has older brothers and sisters above her and younger siblings below her. She has been neglected by her family for a long time and was betrayed by her childhood sweetheart who looks like a decent person.

Therefore, we value our partner’s heart more than their appearance.

As a friend of women, Li Duoliang could naturally give her unprecedented consideration and care.

It only took a few months to coax her into agreeing to get married. Now she has been married to the courtyard for two years and is pregnant with a child, who is only one month younger than Lu Lan.

Speaking of Li Duoliang, He Xiaojie's eyes showed strong envy. She bit her chopsticks and said, "Uncle Li arranged for him to work in the workshop before. After almost a year, he still hasn't learned anything. I thought he was just a stone's throw away from becoming a regular employee.

Who knew I would be so lucky that I would stumble upon something great while walking along the way and become a cadre in the trade union."

"Who says it's not true? Yin Hong has just been quiet for two years, and now she's showing off her power again, almost wanting to walk sideways like a crab."

Wang Taozhi curled her lips. "But Old Lady Li is a formidable one. Even at her age, she can still yell and scream. I hear them quarreling in the yard every day. Her family and Old Zhao's are the most lively."

He Chunsheng knew some inside information, "Li Duoliang was able to become a cadre not only because of his leadership's promotion, but also because of his own ability and wide network of contacts.

Whenever the factory needs to urgently mobilize trucks to transport raw materials, or when a machine breaks down and needs repair, he can always find someone to solve the problem quickly.

The factory manager praised him several times in front of everyone during the meeting. If he performs well, he will probably get a promotion next year."

He Ruixue and Jiang Yanxu exchanged glances.

According to the original destiny, Li Duoliang would be noticed by his superiors because he intercepted enemy spies and prevented important national information from leaking out.

Because his face was so distinctive, his superiors were worried that he would be retaliated against, so they took him to the army for protection.

After simple training, he adapted to the life in the military camp and became the male protagonist's guard by chance.

When his sister grows up and marries the male lead, he will be able to get the role of the supporting actor.

He Ruixue came out this time. When he met the enemy spies, he had allergic reactions to something he had eaten a few days ago, and many red rashes appeared on his face, making his already rugged appearance even more hideous and terrifying. Even his family members were frightened when they saw it.

During those days, Li Duoliang covered his face tightly whenever he went out, and wore his father's military coat, covering even his arms and legs.

When he handed over the information about enemy spies and the data he had obtained to the authorities, people praised him for his good confidentiality measures and vigilance.

Li Duoliang was too embarrassed to explain and just grabbed his head and smiled foolishly.

The person in charge felt that he was a sincere person and had a good impression of him, so he personally arranged for him to join the union.

Afterwards, he did not forget to ask people to take care of him, which made his path particularly smooth, especially his advantage in making friends was fully utilized, making it difficult for him not to excel.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms.

The heating methods here are limited. The kang and fire wall take up too much space and are not used frequently. Most families rely on stoves for heating.

Two years ago, He Ruixue went shopping and bought a lot of scrap iron sheets, and asked someone to make a simple boiler out of them.

There is a rectangular box underneath with a fire hole at the bottom and an iron sheet in the middle for holding water.

There is a long iron pipe above, which goes from the top to the window and leads to the outside.

Once heated, the entire room becomes warmer as the water vapor is released.

The water in the boiler can be used for bathing and washing clothes. It is safer than a stove burning honeycomb coal and is less likely to cause carbon dioxide poisoning.

She installed one in each of the rooms of her two brothers and sisters-in-law, as well as her parents. As for the younger children, who were hot-tempered and not afraid of the cold, there was no need to do this.

Zhao Meiya contacted He Xiasheng's colleagues and brought back a lot of glass bottles used for IV drips from the hospital. She plugged rubber stoppers into them and filled them with hot water, making them ready-made hot water bottles.

Young people have body heat, so as long as they can warm up some time before going to bed, the quilt will be warm after falling asleep and they will not be able to get up in the morning.

However, Wang Taozhi was afraid that her grandson would get frozen, so after realizing the benefits of the boiler, she brought He Yannuo to her room as soon as winter came.

He Xiaotuan and the others were able to let go and enjoy some free time.

He Yannuo is three years old this year, a carefree age, and is usually taken to the nursery by his grandmother.

After returning home, I would go to He Ruixue's yard to play with the cats and dogs, or get together with my friends in the yard to play with wooden sticks made from sorghum stalks.
