Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 136 Ma Wenbin

Soon, they walked to the canteen of Li Renyi's unit.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Xiao Liu had already found a separate private room and walked in with a few people.

"Xiao Liu, make a pot of tea and come in." Li Renyi said, "Then take Qinghe to the kitchen to arrange a place for cooking."

"I'm going too," Li Qinghe said, "Sister-in-law, shall we go together?"

"it is good."

After saying that, several people followed Xiao Liu out again.

After Li Qinghe and the others left, Li Renyi asked, "Kangri, what do you want to talk to me about today? Is it about arranging a job for your wife?"

"Haha, no, my wife has already been assigned a job in the personnel department of our factory."

"Oh?" Li Renyi asked in surprise, "Who arranged it for you?" He didn't think Li Kangri had the ability to do so. After all, he had only been here for more than half a year.

"Hi, I've met a lot of people in the past six months. The deputy director of our factory arranged this for me. I can talk to him quite well."

"You are quite good at building relationships," Li Renyi said with satisfaction, "So what do you want from me?"

"Well, Qinghe is already 19 years old this year. It's time for her to find a partner. You know, all the people in their restaurant are cooks, so I came to you to see if you have any suitable candidate. Please introduce me to someone." Li Kangri said with a smile.

"Ah! Qinghe is still young! There is no need to get married so early." Li Renyi objected.

"I didn't talk about getting married! If you find someone suitable, just date them first for two or three years. If you really reach the age and rush to get married, what if something doesn't go well after marriage?" Li Kangri explained.

"Oh! I thought you were in a hurry to marry your sister off!" Li Renyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm not in a hurry. Even if she doesn't get married, I can still support her for the rest of her life. Isn't this just making plans in advance? Is there anyone suitable? For example, is there anyone of the right age in your unit?" Li Kangri asked.

"There are a few. The children of several of my comrades are about the same age as Qinghe." Li Renyi said after thinking for a while.

"No, we don't want the second-generation officials. They have many problems. It would be better if they are handsome and can rely on themselves." Li Kangri said.

He doesn't like the second generation. Most of them are good kids who can't be raised and have bad tempers.

"Why? People like this will have better development in the future. When looking for a partner, don't you have to consider whether the two families are well-matched?" Li Renyi said.

"What do you mean by being well-matched? We are from a low-income family and cannot match the wealthy. Just tell me if there is any match? Everything else is not a problem. As long as she is not ugly and has good character, it will be fine." Li Kangri asked.

"Well, I don't have the right to ask my own daughter to find someone, but you, as her brother, have a lot of power." Li Renyi said dissatisfiedly.

"That's right. You haven't raised one, so you have the final say on Qinglian's choice of partner, as long as she listens to you." Li Kangri said with a smile.

"Haha, you're right. Without obligations, there are no rights," Li Renyi said with a wry smile, "But it's really hard to find someone as old as Qinghe if you don't have a good family background."

"Don't you have any in your army? For example, newly assigned college students, or soldiers will do, as long as they are honest."

"Let me think about it. Don't worry about it. I'll go back and think about it carefully." Li Renyi said.

"Okay, think about it carefully. If there aren't any, I'll try to find some myself," Li Kangri said, "but my circle is too small, so it's hard to find."

"No, I'll do it. You've only been here a few days, it's definitely not possible."

Just when the father and son were almost done chatting, Xiao Liu came in with dishes, "Commander, the dishes are ready, prepare them and you can eat."

"it is good!"

As he spoke, Li Kangri also stood up and started to pack up.

On the other side, in the cafeteria, Wang Yue and Li Qinghe were each carrying a dish and walking towards the private room.

On the way, I met a few young people who came to the cafeteria to eat.

Seeing the two people, several people were stunned and stared at them in amazement until they disappeared at the door of the box.

"What do I see?" one person shouted.

"Two beautiful girls, where did they come from? I've never seen them before? And they were serving dishes? No way? Are there women in our cafeteria?"

"Ma Wenbin, do you know him? Aren't you known as the know-it-all of our army?"

"I really don't know, but she's definitely not from the cafeteria," Ma Wenbin said. "Where did she come from? She's so pretty."

"Shh! Look, our leader's bodyguard Xiao Liu is coming out." Someone pointed at Xiao Liu who had just come out and said.

"I think it must be related to the leader. Ma Wenbin, you are familiar with Guard Liu, why don't you go and ask him?" said Secretary Chen.

"Why don't you ask?" Ma Wenbin said unhappily.

"I'm not familiar with it!"

"Yes, Wenbin, among us, only you and Guard Liu can talk to each other. We don't really know each other. Go ask them. Those two girls are really beautiful. It would be great if you knew who they belonged to."

"Okay!" Ma Wenbin said, "Go get me some food, I'll go take a look."

As he spoke, Ma Wenbin handed the lunch box to Secretary Chen and walked towards the door of the private room.

Soon he saw Xiao Liu coming out of the private room, so he hurried over and asked, "Guard Liu, is the commander having dinner in the cafeteria today?"

"Yes, why do you want to see the leader for something?" Xiao Liu asked.

"Hey, didn't I just see two girls go in? I want to ask who they are?" Ma Wenbin asked embarrassedly.

Seeing Ma Wenbin's eyes rolling around, Xiao Liu immediately understood what he was planning.

So he said, "This is a relative, but I can't tell you who it is. Anyway, he is the leader's relative. If you want to know, go and ask him yourself, or ask Political Commissar Ma to ask." Xiao Liu said, and then he went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

"No! Guard Liu, tell me something. You know, we are all in a difficult situation. It's not easy to see a girl, so it's normal to ask about her, right?" Ma Wenbin said, pulling Xiao Liu.

"I really can't tell you about this. After all, they are very close relatives. But one of them is not a girl. She is already married. You should stop worrying about her." Xiao Liu said.

"Um, that one is married?"

"The shorter one." Xiao Liu said, "That's all I can say. If you really have an idea, just ask Political Commissar Ma to go find the chief. That's it. The chief is still waiting for food!"

After saying that, Xiao Liu went straight to the kitchen.

Ma Wenbin had no choice but to go back to eat. As soon as he got to the table, Secretary Chen asked, "How is it? Did you find out?"

"I found out, but I'm not very clear. They said he was a relative of the leader, but one of them was married." Ma Wenbin said helplessly.

"Um, that one is married?"

"The shorter one." Ma Wenbin said.

"Well, there is only one left. They are all pretty, but I don't know who she is?" Secretary Chen said to himself.

Ma Wenbin was thinking by himself, wondering whether he should ask his father to find out.
