When Xie's mother and Ruiying heard Su Li say that she would find them wives, the two old people also became interested.
"Yes, Xiaorong, Shanshan, and Ni are all good kids, and it's time for them to get married."
Su Li nodded. "They are good, hardworking, and able to endure hardships. They have done a good job in the factory. However, their family members..."
Mother Xie said, "It's okay, don't worry about it. The old ladies in their family are bullies who only care about the weak and the strong. If these young men fall in love with them, let your uncle say something, and they will definitely not dare to make trouble."
"Well, that's fine. Pang Wei, Zhang Lai, and Lu Song are all here too. We can take a look together."
Ruiying was thinking about her eldest granddaughter, "Ni, don't forget to invite Su Lan to come and have a look together. Our family is not like that of others. It's OK as long as the children don't have any objections."
Ruiying didn't avoid Shi Xiaomeng and the others when she said this. She was just telling them that she was sincere in finding them wives and would definitely not ask for too much dowry to make things difficult for them.
After hearing what Ruiying said, Shi Xiaomeng and the others felt excited, grateful, and at ease.
When they heard Shi Xiaomeng say that Captain Xie's family wanted to introduce wives to them, they were a little nervous. They did not have a free job and were often on missions. Their hometown did not think about getting them married. Gradually, they were already thirteen or fourteen years old and still hadn't married. They were anxious, and they were envious of other families who followed the army and lived a happy life.
The two old ladies, Xie's mother and Xie Ruiying, are good at chatting. Su Li asked Xie Dan and Tiedan to ask Pan Yumei and Xia Xiuzhi to come over to help with cooking, and to ask Xie Xu, Xie Zhengyang and Xie Zhenghe to come over as they would be entertaining guests in the evening.
After a while, Xie Zhengyang and Xie Xu, who had worked in the fields, returned home, and Xie Zhenghe also came over from the mountain. With them chatting and a few children accompanying them, Su Li also took the time to bake the remaining bread.
I went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients. There were many people at night, so it looked like we would need two or three tables to accommodate them.
Besides, there are a lot of dishes to prepare, and it will be very tiring for the three of them to prepare.
While Pan Yumei and Xia Xiuzhi were not there yet, Su Li boiled a pot and cooked a whole iron pot of rice, and then steamed two pots of more than a hundred large steamed buns in total.
There was a big pot of sauerkraut, pork and vermicelli stewed on the stove, and in another pot was a big pot of stew. These two dishes were made by Su Li herself. The quantities were so large that they could be put into three large bowls with some left over.
Su Li cleaned up a long table and a storage table in the kitchen and didn't put anything on them.
After taking a look outside, he started to take dishes from the space, first three pots of Maoxuewang, three pots of boiled beef, three large pots of braised pork, and three large pots of spicy chicken.
They are all large enamel basins, which are definitely enough for these soldiers to eat.
After finishing, she started to wash cucumbers, beans, potatoes and other vegetables. She could start cooking when her two sisters-in-law came over.
The weather was hot, so Su Li wanted to cook some sour plum soup and mix two bowls of cold noodles for them to eat.
After a while, Pan Yumei and Xia Xiuzhi came over. They looked at the kitchen where so many dishes had been prepared and said that Su Li was very efficient in cooking. The dishes smelled so good and must be delicious.
Su Li could only laugh.
Xie Zhengchuan finally came back in the evening. There has been a difficult case in the county recently. As more and more people are self-employed, there have been some highway robbers and people who stop cars to ask for money. Some of them are even over 100 years old. If someone is called in by the police station, the old man will lie on the ground and there is nothing they can do even if they are the police.
Xie Zhengchuan sighed and went into the house.
There were laughter and joy in the main room, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. After a tiring day outside, home is the real place to relax.
Su Liqiao wanted to ask someone to go to the garment factory to call Pang Wei and others to come home for dinner, so she came out of the kitchen and watched Xie Zhengchuan lock his bicycle.
"Zhengchuan is back, just in time. The meal is ready. Please call Pang Wei and Zhang to come and cook for them."
Xie Zhengchuan felt warm in his heart, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
He had just smelled the fragrance of food. When he walked through the kitchen, he saw the food on the table. He was truly grateful to Su Li. Some of his comrades-in-arms did not have a good life after retiring, but his wife gave up a stable and comfortable life and chose to use her own efforts to help these people live a better life.
The most important thing is to treat them like his own family. Pang Wei and Zhang Lai alone often invite their family to dinner. Although each family rents their own land and is responsible for their own revenue, there are basically no ones who cook so many meat dishes at one time to entertain his comrades like his wife does, and every time she cooks such a rich variety.
Thinking of this, Xie Zhengchuan couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Su Li was right. There were indeed three tables of food. There were only two large tables in their house, and Xie Zhenghe and Xie Zhengyang brought another large table from the garment factory.
Xie Zhengchuan and his comrades brought Xie Xu, Xie Zhengyang and Xie Zhenghe.
The women and children of Old Xie's family sat at the same table and had a very enjoyable dinner in the evening. Xie's mother's heart was pounding when she saw them drinking glass after glass.
Thinking that they would see each other again tomorrow, Mang Guodian reminded everyone and they calmed down a little.
Xie Zhengchuan drank a few more glasses of wine out of joy when he heard his mother say that she would introduce a girl to his comrade the next day.
At night, Su Li looked at this big man holding her like a koala, feeling doting yet helpless.
The next day.
Pan Yumei found some female workers of the right age in the factory and asked them for their opinions. Those who were willing to meet the man came to the meeting room in the evening.
The girls discussed it and decided to have a try. They would be seventeen or eighteen years old in a few years, and their families would not be able to find a good family for them. They believed in Su Li's vision and would definitely not introduce anyone to them casually. What's more, those people were soldiers in the army, so they were not happy.
Xie Zhengchuan had already taken two days off from the office, and he actually helped his teammates dress up. When Su Li returned home at noon, she saw him wandering around the room looking for something and ignored him.
Zhang Lai was also very excited. He had been in Shanghe Village for more than three months and was so busy every day that he had never even looked at the girl. Tonight was an unusual night.
When he was washing his face and trimming his hair, he asked Pang Wei to shave quickly, but Pang Wei hesitated and didn't do anything, which made Zhang Lai look at him in confusion.
Shi Xiaomeng and his colleagues slept in the garment factory last night and had a big pot meal in the garment factory for lunch. They walked, got food, and ate in an orderly manner, which made the female workers blush and their hearts beat fast.
The conference room of Mengli Garment Factory was brightly lit at night. Su Li and Xie Zhengchuan, Pan Yumei and Xie Zhenghe, Xia Xiuzhi and Xie Zhengyang decorated the conference room with joy. The table was filled with fruits, candies, melon seeds and peanuts, as well as bottles of juice.
At 12:00, a team of men and a team of women began to enter the meeting room and sat down in a row.
Su Li had the professional qualities of a matchmaker. She stood in front of the stage and spoke, "Good evening, comrades. Tonight's social gathering is specially held for you. Please introduce your names and family situations to each other. You can have the snacks on the table. We will leave soon. Everyone can express themselves freely. Finally, I would like to say, come on, comrades! Don't miss the opportunity!"
At the end, he smiled mischievously, which made everyone laugh. Xie Zhengchuan looked at those who were watching and felt that being young was really good!
Su Li looked at the man who was holding a glass of wine last night and was full of enthusiasm. Now he was hesitating, blushing and stammering. She found it funny.
Xie Zhengchuan quietly hooked her finger beside her, indicating that he should leave, and the two smiled at each other.
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Xie Zhenghe took Pang Yumei for a walk in the yard of the garment factory.
Only Xie Zhengyang was concentrating on eating his apple, drinking his drink, occasionally cracking two melon seeds, and looking at everyone with a smile. He didn't notice the look from his wife at all, which made Xia Xiuzhi so angry that her cheeks almost turned into puffer fish.
