Chapter 41 The matchmaker comes to visit
Li Huijin took a look and recognized that the woman among them was Huang Yingdi from their village.
The man seemed to be an educated youth who had gone to the countryside, but Li Huijin was not familiar with him.
At this time, Zhou Song and Huang Yingdi looked at the time, separated and went down the mountain.
It was not until the two men left that Li Huijin found the jujube tree again, and there were still some fruits on the tree.
Li Huijin climbed up the tree in two or three steps, and then collected all the fruits into the space.
Only after all the dates were stored in the space did Li Huijin take the chopped firewood back home.
Not long after Li Huijin left, Lin Le and Zhao Jingshu found Tao Jin.
Lin Le spoke first to Tao Jin.
"The four of us were educated youth who came to Dafeng Village together, and this was our first time to celebrate the New Year in Dafeng Village.
Why don't we take advantage of this time before the New Year to get together once."
Tao Jin nodded when she heard this. After all, Lin Le was her rare gossip partner in the village, and Zhao Jingshu was just there to make up the numbers in the trio.
Although Zhou Song didn't have much contact with them after he came to the village, they decided to invite Zhou Song to join them since they were both educated youth.
However, the location became a problem, after all, the four of them were staying in different people's homes.
After hearing this, Tao Jin thought about it and said to them.
"Why not come to Li Huijin's house for dinner?"
Lin Le said hesitantly after hearing this.
"Will this cause him any trouble?"
Tao Jin smiled and said.
"No, don't worry. Just let me know in advance when you've set a time."
Zhao Jingshu smiled meaningfully and said.
"Well, let's split the cost of this dinner equally among the participants."
Because the three of them didn't know whether Zhou Song would attend, they decided to ask Zhou Song before setting a time.
After all, except Zhou Song, the three of them can be said to have time at any time.
Lin Le wanted to say something but was pulled away by Zhao Jingshu.
While walking on the road, Lin Le was still a little hesitant and said to Zhao Jingshu.
"Would it be inappropriate for us to go directly to Comrade Li's house like this?"
Zhao Jingshu glanced at Lin Le and said.
"Will not."
"You didn't ask, so how do you know it won't happen?"
Hearing this, Zhao Jingshu looked at Lin Le helplessly and said.
"Haven't you noticed yet? They're obviously together."
Lin Le asked in surprise when he heard this.
"Who's with who?
You mean, you mean Tao Jing and Li Huijin are together?"
Lin Le couldn't believe it at all. After all, there was no sign at all, so how could the two of them be together?
Zhao Jingshu remembered the night when he watched Li Huijin keeping vigil for Tao Jin at the dam.
He had known for a long time that there must be something between the two of them, but he didn't expect that they would be together so soon.
At this time, Lin Le thought of finding Zhou Song and talking to him about having dinner together, so he turned and walked towards where Zhou Song lived.
Zhao Jingshu followed Lin Le silently without saying a word. Lin Le looked at Zhao Jingshu and asked.
"Do you want to go with me to find Zhou Song?"
Zhao Jingshu looked up at the sky and said casually.
"No, I just wanted to go out for a walk. The weather has been cold lately, so I wanted to exercise more."
Although Lin Le couldn't understand Zhao Jingshu's train of thought, he didn't say anything else and went to find Zhou Song with Zhao Jingshu.
They thought Zhou Song would not agree to participate, or that Zhou Song did not want to share the money.
When Zhou Song heard what they said, he hesitated for only two seconds and then nodded.
"Okay, when the time is right, I'll definitely be there on time."
After Zhou Song agreed, Zhao Jingshu sent Lin Le home and then walked back to his residence.
When Li Huijin returned home with firewood, he saw Tao Jin sitting at the table writing something.
Tao Jin looked at Li Huijin walking in, ran forward happily, jumped up and hung on Li Huijin.
Li Huijin walked into the yard, dropped the firewood in his hand, and caught Tao Jin steadily.
At this time, Tao Jin was hanging on Li Huijin like a kangaroo and spoke to him.
"The educated youth who came with me want to have a meal together at home, but the time has not been set yet."
When Li Huijin heard this, he looked at Tao Jin and asked.
"Will Zhou Song participate?"
Tao Jin didn't understand why Li Huijin asked Zhou Song so specifically, so he just shook his head and said.
“I don’t know, maybe, maybe not.
Lin Le and the others went to ask for his opinion."
After saying this, Tao Jin got off Li Huijin, then took Li Huijin's hand to the table and spoke to him.
“Look, I wrote so many menus.”
Li Huijin looked down at the menu written by Tao Jin: Braised Lion's Head, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Spicy Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, Shredded Pork with Fish Flavor, and Stir-fried Cabbage.
Looking at the menu, Li Huijin had an idea in mind and nodded to Tao Jin.
"These dishes are not difficult. I can just prepare them in advance."
What Li Huijin was thinking was that since the four of them were gathered together, they must have something to say.
On the day of their dinner party, I would find a reason to go out for a while and come back later.
But when Tao Jin heard what Li Huijin said, he shook his head and said.
"No, no, no, I have already prepared these dishes."
Tao Jin still had a lot of uneaten food in his space at this time, so he might as well take this opportunity to try a few dishes and enjoy them openly.
Li Huijin hesitated when he heard this.
"Will this be discovered?"
Tao Jin said this with a carefree attitude.
"How could anyone discover this? I'll just use the plates I have at home to serve the dishes. How could anyone discover this?
Besides, they haven’t tasted your cooking, so how can they know if it’s you who made it?”
Hearing this, Li Huijin agreed. He had eaten the food in Tao Jin's space and it tasted among the best.
But he thought that if he worked hard for a while, he would be able to make such delicious meals for Tao Jin.
Li Huijin had been curious about why there were so many strange and anachronistic things in Tao Jin's space.
But he didn't ask it out loud. To love someone is to love her completely and trust her wholeheartedly.
This is Tao Jin's secret, and he will not explore Tao Jin's secret, but will only help Tao Jin to protect her secret.
As a result, before the educated youth arrived, an unexpected person came to the door.
That person is the most famous matchmaker in the area.
The matchmaker knocked on the door, waited for it to open, stood at the door, looked Li Huijin up and down, and said with a smile.
"Little boy from the Li family, I have something very good to tell you."
Li Huijin looked at the matchmaker indifferently and said.
"What's the matter?"
"You know Zhao Juan, the daughter of the Dashi Village chief.
The village chief's daughter met you a few years ago and has been thinking about you ever since.
You haven't been in the village for the past few years, but others have been waiting for you for many years.
Now that you're back, aren't you asking me to be your matchmaker?"
