Chapter 480 Want to be a matchmaker
Ping An immediately jumped up and shouted excitedly: "That's great!"
Chen Kexin said seriously: "It will definitely be hard when you are away from home, so don't complain when the time comes."
Ping An raised his right hand and said solemnly: "I am a real man, I will definitely not let you worry..."
At this time, the doorman called and said, "There is a guest at your house. The man said his name is Qiao Dawei, and he is a friend of your eldest daughter..."
Chen Kexin quickly interrupted, "It's my friend, please ask him to come in!"
"OK!"
Soon, Qiao Dawei strode in carrying two bags of pastries.
"Sister-in-law, our school is on vacation, so come and visit us."
Chen Kexin muttered to herself: I haven't seen this kid since he was admitted to university. I haven't seen him for a few months and he looks thinner.
She immediately said in a stern voice, "You came just for fun, why are you buying things? The school subsidy is not even enough for you guys to eat. Studying must be tiring, right? You've lost weight."
Qiao Dawei suddenly felt warm in his heart. His sister-in-law was still as kind to him as ever.
He replied awkwardly, "That little subsidy is only enough for food. Studying is really hard. Fortunately, I work part-time and help clean the library every day. The school gives me 5 yuan per month as hard work fee."
Chen Kexin continued to ask with concern: "Aren't you going back to your hometown during the holidays?"
Qiao Dawei shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't want to go back. Now I just want to eat enough for the whole family."
Chen Kexin quickly realized that Qiao Dawei was her stepmother. As the saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather, and the biological father will favor the child born to the stepmother.
Just when they were looking for a retired soldier to accompany them out -
"Qiao Dawei, can you accompany my sister and me to Xinjiang during the holiday if you have nothing to do? I'll give you 20 yuan as salary."
Qiao Dawei wanted to find a job during the holidays, but he had been running around for two days without any success. He came to Chen's house to ask his sister-in-law if he could help out at the pharmaceutical factory and earn some money to avoid being embarrassed in the future.
Besides, he is not young anymore and it is time for him to consider his personal issues.
If my sister-in-law can help -
Unexpectedly, before he even opened his mouth, his sister-in-law arranged a job for him. He was immediately overjoyed, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to pay me. I can't refuse this little thing."
"Okay, sister-in-law doesn't want to be a capitalist, so it's settled!"
Chen Kexin is very busy and has no way to replenish raw materials after going out, so she must prepare the medicinal materials before leaving.
Now, the border war is raging and emergency medicines must not be in short supply.
After preparing the raw materials, she will invite her master to take charge before leaving.
If any emergency occurs in the factory, it can be handled in a timely manner.
Then, she took out two hundred yuan and said, "Please take some time tomorrow to buy tickets. You can buy tickets for any day. Two adult tickets and one child ticket."
Qiao Dawei took the money, nodded readily and said, "Okay, sister-in-law!"
Chen Pingan, who was standing next to them, heard clearly that Uncle Qiao was going to Xinjiang with them, and said flatteringly, "Uncle Qiao, thank you for your hard work."
Qiao Dawei touched his head lovingly and said seriously: "Serving the people is not hard!"
Wang Qiaolian walked in with a smile and said, "Okay, nephew, go wash your hands first, and then we can eat together. I just added two dishes, let's try your cooking."
"Auntie, how can I be so embarrassed? I've already eaten..."
"I often hear Ke Xin talk about you. We are all family. Don't be polite! What do you mean you have already eaten? What time is it now?"
This sentence touched the soft spot in Qiao Dawei's heart, and he couldn't help but think of the time when his mother was still alive and the whole family had meals together warmly and happily.
Ever since his mother passed away, he knew that he would never have that warm feeling again, and his aunt's words touched his heart.
A sob choked in his throat, "Yeah!"
Everyone worked together to bring up the food, including the braised pork head and stir-fried pork tenderloin with chili peppers made by Chen Kexin.
Wang Qiaolian used the serving chopsticks to pick up some pork head meat for Qiao Dawei and said, "Dawei, try it, it tastes very good."
Qiao Dawei took a bite and immediately felt his mouth watering, it was so delicious.
I thought that maybe it was because I couldn’t bear to eat meat during this period, so it tasted good when I ate meat suddenly.
I found that Ping An and her sisters were also enjoying the meal.
Ping An said as he ate, "Big sister, where did you buy the braised pig head? It's so delicious."
Chen Kexin said calmly, "I heard that they feed their pigs with grain, otherwise how could the pork be so delicious? You can try the fried pork tenderloin with hot peppers."
After tasting it, everyone praised it: "It's really delicious!"
The meal was finished in a lively atmosphere.
That night, Chen Kexin entered the space and hurried to prepare the medicinal materials.
Two days later, Qiao Dawei walked into Chen's house again with big dark circles under his eyes, looking exhausted.
"Sister-in-law, I bought the ticket for three days later..."
Chen Kexin knew that train tickets were hard to buy during the summer vacation, and when she saw Qiao Dawei's expression, she immediately understood a little.
"Did you go to the queue tonight?"
Qiao Dawei nodded awkwardly and said, "I have nothing to do at night anyway, so I can catch up on some sleep during the day."
"Okay, go back and catch up on your sleep. By the way, I bought some more of the braised pork head from last time. I remember you liked it, so take some back. Do you like braised pork belly?"
"Eat! My sister-in-law is so nice to me."
Seeing this man's silly look, Chen Kexin couldn't help but feel moved, and thought of Sister Meihua in her mind.
Qiao Dawei has no burden at home and is old. The two of them have similar personalities and tempers, so it would be nice if they could get together.
At this moment, she really wanted to be a matchmaker!
Then I thought, Xiaoliang's father died too recently, so let's wait until school starts.
"Okay, when we come back, sister-in-law will introduce you to someone."
Qiao Dawei said awkwardly: "I'm old, will people agree to it?"
Chen Kexin hurriedly cut the braised pig head and pork belly, wrapped them in oil paper, and tied them up with ropes before saying, "Her husband died, so she is a martyr's relative. She also has a child. The child gets 20 yuan a month for living expenses. What do you think?"
Qiao Dawei immediately lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "As long as you have good character, that's fine!"
There is a way!
"Don't worry about this. I still need to ask the girl's opinion. She is my classmate."
Of course Qiao Dawei knew that his sister-in-law was studying at Tsinghua University, while he was only a junior college student. Would she agree?
While he was struggling, Chen Kexin wrapped a few more big buns in oil paper, tied the two bundles together, put them in the basket, picked up a few big apples, put them in, and handed them over, saying, "Go back and eat them quickly, and then catch up on some sleep."
"Okay, sister-in-law! Here's the remaining money and the ticket."
He handed over the ticket and more than twenty yuan.
Chen Kexin only accepted three hard sleeper tickets and pushed the rest of the money back, saying, "Take this money. It's your temporary salary for this month."
"this……"
"Okay, hurry back. I'll see you at the train ticket gate half an hour earlier in three days."
"OK!"
Qiao Dawei went back carrying the heavy basket.
I wonder what the person my sister-in-law introduced to me looks like? My sister-in-law’s eyes were not wrong, and I couldn’t help but look forward to it anxiously.
