Chapter 226 The old lady likes Liu Lan
Is there any benefit that can be gained by accepting Pang Rushi as a disciple?
Based on her understanding of Xu Damao, he would definitely consider the families of leading cadres first.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiangdong's figure suddenly flashed in Pang Rushi's mind.
Although Lin already has an apprentice, he can still accept new apprentices.
Allowing Xu Damao to recruit multiple apprentices might lead to gossip, but it is not the same for Lin Xiangqian.
Moreover, in addition to being a projectionist, he also innovatively completed the production of the second half of "Havoc in Heaven" and repaired a crystal radio.
Even if I accept five more disciples, I'm afraid there won't be much objection.
She thought: "If I bring this up with Lin Xiangqian, there will be a better chance of success."
Once an idea comes to mind, it quickly sprouts and grows.
Pang Ru really wants to learn film projection technology and eventually be able to take on the task of a film projectionist.
It would be best if I could have the opportunity to become Lin Xiangdong's apprentice. Even if that doesn't work out, I would still be able to follow Xu Damao.
Soon, the morning time was over.
When Pang Rushi heard the news that Xu Damao had already recruited a disciple in the cafeteria during lunch time, she was a little surprised.
It turns out that Master Xu's new apprentice is the canteen manager's nephew.
At this moment, the silly guy in the cafeteria had a very serious expression.
This was not good news for Sha Zhu - because Xu Damao's new apprentice was none other than his colleague, Feng Guobing, the nephew of the canteen manager.
In the afternoon, Xu Damao took the projection equipment to the countryside for screening, and his apprentice Feng Guobing followed behind him.
Since Feng Guobing didn't have a bicycle, he had to borrow one from someone else.
When it comes to going to the countryside to show movies, Lin Xiangdong doesn't intend to argue with Xu Damao about who should go, they just take turns. This time it's Xu Damao's turn, next time it will be Lin Xiangdong's turn, except for special circumstances.
Lin Xiangdong did not leave work early today. After all, going home early every day is not a solution.
When the bell rang for the end of get off work, the factory workers finished their work and walked towards the gate.
Inspiring music was playing on the radio.
The old and short buildings, with slogans and porcelain paintings hanging on the walls, are full of a unique and slightly crazy charm.
Lin Xiangdong rode the bright bicycle home, attracting many envious glances along the way.
As soon as I returned to the entrance of Nanluoguxiang Hutong, I saw the deaf old lady being carried on Sha Zhu's back.
Since they met, Lin Xiangdong greeted him a few times.
The old lady held a cane in her right hand and covered her pocket with her left hand. Lin Xiangdong looked at her left hand and had some guesses in his mind.
It seemed that she wanted to exchange the food coupons for money.
The old lady can save some tickets every month, and she needs to find someone to exchange them for cash about every two months.
In a sense, what the old lady did was to trade goods privately.
But this is not a major violation.
Even if Lin Xiangdong knew, he could only pretend not to see it.
Just as he thought, the reason why the old lady asked Sha Zhu to take her out today was to buy and sell the food coupons in her hands.
Not daring to venture into the pigeon market, the old lady had to wander around on the road looking for opportunities.
Shazhu is also familiar with this routine.
As they walked along the roadside, looking for potential buyers, the old lady smiled and said, "Shazhu, you have to hurry up. If you continue like this, you will become an old bachelor."
"Old lady, can't you praise me a few words?" Tiezhu felt a little dissatisfied.
"You are smart in small matters, but confused in big matters." said the old lady, shaking her head.
"There is no suitable candidate right now, but you are already keeping an eye out for me," Tiezhu said.
Then, the old lady changed her tone and said, "I think Xu Damao will definitely find a girlfriend faster than me."
Tiezhu and Xu Damao have been competing with each other since childhood, and the old lady mentioned this in order to ** Tiezhu.
But to the old lady's surprise, Tiezhu actually laughed after hearing it.
"Old lady, Xu Damao will definitely find a girlfriend faster than me. Maybe he will find a country widow and have a wife and children in no time." Tiezhu said with a smile.
"Nonsense." The old lady shook her head in denial.
However, she soon frowned, her expression became somewhat thoughtful, and she stared at the iron pillar, not knowing what she was thinking.
A moment later, when the old lady saw an aunt passing by, she motioned Tiezhu to come forward.
After finding the trading target and bargaining, the old lady successfully sold her food coupons.
I got seventeen dollars from selling the ticket.
After carefully wrapping the money in a towel and putting it in her pocket, the old lady was not in a hurry to leave, and asked to continue riding on the back of the iron pillar for a while.
Unexpectedly, not long after, they met Liu Lan.
Although I was not close to Liu Lan and we often quarreled in the factory, I still said hello when we met.
"Who is this..." The old lady looked at Liu Lan curiously.
"This is Liu Lan, my colleague." Tiezhu said casually.
"Liu Lan?" This name sounded somewhat familiar to the old lady. She had heard it from Yi Zhonghai before.
However, the old lady was not very clear about Liu Lan's background.
The old lady had met many people and had a good impression of Liu Lan.
Because of their similar age, she thought about possible development opportunities.
If Liu Lan is not in a relationship yet and has a nice personality, she might be willing to try to get in touch with Tie Zhu.
After getting down from behind the iron pillar, the old lady held Liu Lan's hand affectionately and talked to her.
Even though she felt a little uncomfortable, Liu Lan still dealt with the old lady patiently.
After a while, the two began to chat enthusiastically, and laughter continued to spread.
"Old lady, are we still going shopping?" Tiezhu began to look a little impatient.
Liu Lan said to the old lady, "I should go back too."
The old lady just rolled her eyes at Tiezhu.
After Liu Lan left, Tie Zhu mentioned that Liu Lan was not a good choice: "Liu Lan is a big mouth and a fusser. She is not a good companion."
"I think this woman is very good and is perfect for you to date." The old lady revealed her thoughts.
Tie Zhu was shocked when he heard this! They wanted to match him and Liu Lan?
"Don't do that." Tiezhu stopped quickly.
Then the old lady thought for a moment and suggested: "Then you can buy some delicious dishes to treat Liu Lan tomorrow."
Faced with such sincere intentions, Tiezhu felt a little uneasy. During this short conversation, the old lady gradually gained a deeper understanding of Liu Lan.
Liu Lan's family situation was quite difficult. Her father had always been in poor health, her mother had lost her eyesight, and she had a younger sister and brother to take care of.
Fortunately, Liu Lan has a younger brother, which makes the old lady feel at ease.
Because in traditional concepts, a married daughter is like spilled water that cannot be taken back, and the responsibility of supporting parents should be borne by the son.
Therefore, the old lady believed that even if Liu Lan was dating Sha Zhu, she would only provide appropriate support to the family and there was no need for Liu Lan to be responsible for her parents' retirement.
Just like Qin Huairu did not help her parents' family very often after marrying into the Jia family.
If Liu Lan had not gotten married, perhaps no one would have said anything; but if she had been married but continued to support the entire family, it would have seemed inappropriate.
The old lady also observed and understood Liu Lan's character and qualities to some extent.
"Okay, old lady, stop trying to play tricks on me." Sha Zhu showed a helpless expression.
In fact, he didn't have any special thoughts about Liu Lan, but after the old lady's words, he couldn't help but think about it seriously.
After careful consideration, he felt that Liu Lan was actually not bad. Maybe she was not the extremely beautiful type, but she was also a pretty person; her figure and manners were also quite good.
Liu Lan is not a bad person by nature, although her words may be direct and harsh at times, but Sha Zhu himself is almost the same.
"Then bring Liu Lan to my room to have dinner together tomorrow. I'll ask your aunt to buy more dishes and you can show me some of your specialties." The old lady suggested with a smile on her face.
Sha Zhu knew that she wanted to help him create opportunities, so he had to agree.
"What did you say? I can't hear you clearly." The old lady pretended not to hear.
"Even if you wear a hearing aid, are you pretending not to hear?" Sha Zhu complained in a low voice.
"thumping!"
With a slight sound, the crutch in the old lady's hand fell gently on Sha Zhu, but it didn't hurt him.
"Grandson, what about what you just said?" the old lady asked again.
"I said I would prepare a sumptuous meal for you tomorrow." Sha Zhu replied.
"That's enough." This time the old lady heard it clearly.
"What a coincidence, if you want to listen well, you can listen carefully, if you don't want to listen, you can pretend to be deaf and dumb." Sha Zhu laughed and said.
......
After dinner was ready, Lin Xiangdong walked out of the kitchen to relax and happened to see Sha Zhu coming back with the old lady.
"Remember to bring Liu Lan to my house for dinner tomorrow. If she doesn't want to come, I will go directly to the factory to find her." The old lady said to Sha Zhu.
Even though there was some distance between the two parties, Lin Xiangdong still heard their conversation; this was also thanks to Lin Xiangdong's keen hearing.
"Liu Lan?" Lin Xiangdong looked confused.
Why did the topic suddenly turn to Liu Lan?
Could it be that he happened to meet Liu Lan while he was outside?
From the old lady's request, we can know that she wants to promote the marriage between Liu Lan and Sha Zhu;
In the original storyline, Liu Lan was forced to become the mistress of Deputy Director Jiang.
The fact that Liu Lan could arouse the interest of Deputy Director Jiang Li Huaide also shows that her appearance and qualities are indeed good.
Li Huaide should not look down on Qin Huairu, who is a little fat now.
As for Liu Lan's personal qualities, she is pretty decent, and gets along well with Sha Zhu.
This shows that the old lady still has a certain vision. After all, in her eyes, Liu Lan is a good match for Sha Zhu.
In the future, we may need to guard against the interference of Xu Damao and Qin Huairu, and even pay attention to Yi Zhonghai.
What Xu Damao hates most is He Yuzhu's success. When he learns that the old lady intends to match Jin Niang and He Yuzhu, Xu Damao will not sit idly by and will definitely obstruct them.
Qin Huairu still couldn't forget He Yuzhu, and didn't want to watch He Yuzhu be taken.
For Master Yi Zhonghai, if he thinks Jin Niang is "reasonable", he will acquiesce to this matter. If he thinks Jin Niang is "unreasonable", he will definitely try his best to stop it.
