Ji Yuanshan told Ji Yuanhai about his family's help in finding a wife.

Ever since Ji Yuanshan came home yesterday and told Ma Ji Ma Xiuping, her grandparents, father and mother have all become interested. Grandma is going to find a daughter-in-law married to Ma Ji today to help him ask about Ma Xiuping.

If there are no surprises, the two sides can get some air time and find an opportunity to meet each other.

Ji Yuanhai nodded, indicating that he understood.

The wife he introduced to his eldest brother also helped.

After another day of work and study, Ji Yuanhai returned home and took a look at the things in the courtyard.

The vegetables grown at home have begun to sprout, the fence has taken root deeper and is resistant to wind and rain.

On the third day, Lu Heling went to work, and Ji Yuanhai carried a basket on his back and entered the county town.

I entered the county town and bought two bottles of wine, one for each of the popsicle seller Uncle Zhao and the doorman Uncle Dong.

Neither of the two uncles expected that Ji Yuanhai would really bring a gift this time, so they both declined quickly.

For men in this era, drinking is an extremely rare pastime, and it is usually bulk wine.

Bottles of wine are a good thing. Not only are they more quality-guaranteed than bulk wine, but the glass bottles left after drinking the wine can be sold for money and can also be filled with soy sauce and vinegar.

Facing the refusals of the two uncles, Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "Why didn't I buy it last time? Because I felt that our friendship was not enough last time, so it would be inappropriate to give away random things."

"I came here to bring some wine this time because we have enough friendship."

"I invite you to have a drink, sir. This is nothing but my wish!"

Uncle Zhao accepted the bottle of wine and grinned: "Young man, I want your wine, and I accept your wishes."

"But if you bring something to see me next time, I won't be selling popsicles here anymore. I'll have to move somewhere to hide from you!"

After repeatedly declining, Uncle Dong accepted the wine and also solemnly asked Ji Yuanhai not to bring such a gift.

Ji Yuanhai also knew that this intention was enough, and more gifts would only make the two uncles feel uneasy.

I went to Mr. Wang's house to look at the flowers and plants, and helped Song Meilanhua "lose weight" and "shape up" her body.

It feels a bit like medical cosmetic fine-tuning.

When Ji Yuanhai finished his work, Mr. Wang asked him if he had started studying.

Ji Yuanhai also answered truthfully: He and his wife are studying on their own and have already started preparing for the college entrance examination.

Mr. Wang nodded happily: "Okay, that's good -"

"Today, shall we leave after dinner?"

Ji Yuanhai was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Wang, it's not that I don't give you this face. It's just that I have to buy something else and I have to go back before dark. Time is very tight."

"I really can't sit down and eat with you and chat for too long."

"If one day we have more time, it won't be too late."

The silver-haired woman came out and said, "Xiao Ji, you must be polite!"

"The old man has a weird temper and doesn't have many friends. He regards you as an old friend. It's hard to make a friend."

"I just asked Xiao Wu to buy cooked food just to entertain you today. If you leave today, the old man will be disappointed."

Ji Yuanhai was a little hesitant - if he simply had a meal, it would only last half an hour. If he ate with Mr. Wang, both parties looked after each other and chatted politely, it would take at least two hours to finish the meal.

If you add wine, it will take three hours.

There is really not much time at this time.

Ji Yuanhai explained the reason why he had to go home in a hurry. Mr. Wang was not angry, but asked: "Xiao Ji, how far is your Xiaoshantun from the county seat?"

"Probably more than twenty miles away." Ji Yuanhai replied.

"It takes you half an hour to ride a bicycle for this short distance. Why do you need to be so careful about your budget?" Mr. Wang asked with a smile.

Ji Yuanhai was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Wang, I don't have a bicycle."

"Ah? You don't have a bicycle?" Mr. Wang and the silver-haired woman were both surprised. "How did you come to the county town?"

"It will take about two hours to walk."

Ji Yuanhai said.

Mr. Wang was a little stunned, and then he became moved: "Xiao Ji, in order to plant flowers for me, every time you come, you walk for two hours and then walk for another two hours when you go home."

“That’s four hours of non-stop walking!”

"Your kindness is so rare, I feel like I've treated you badly!"

"It's not unfair!" Ji Yuanhai said quickly, "Mr. Wang, you have been very kind to me."

"That's not possible. You come here every once in a while and have to run for four or five hours on two legs every time. That's too hard!"

Mr. Wang said: "Xiao Ji, you have to buy a bicycle. Do you have enough money? If not enough, I will give it to you -"

Ji Yuanhai said quickly: "Mr. Wang, please don't give it to me!"

"I can't always take advantage of you, I really deserve it!"

"Besides, it's not that I don't have enough money. Even if I have money, I can't buy a bicycle. You must not give it to me!"

Mr. Wang was surprised: "You can't buy a bicycle even if you have money?"

"Yes, Mr. Wang, bicycles need tickets; even if you have money, you can't buy them without tickets. It's not worth it if you have to use money to exchange tickets." Ji Yuanhai said.

Mr. Wang was surprised: "Weren't the bicycle tickets canceled six or seven years ago? Why are they still there?"

Ji Yuanhai was also surprised: "Mr. Wang, no?"

"I went to the supply and marketing cooperative the day before yesterday and asked, and it is true that bicycle tickets are needed."

After hearing this, Mr. Wang felt even more puzzled.

"I remember that the bicycle ticket has been cancelled. When was it reinstated?"

It happened that the nanny, Aunt Wu, came back with cooked food while pushing her bicycle.

Hearing Mr. Wang talk about this topic, Aunt Wu interjected and said: "There was a period of time when the tickets were canceled, and then they were restored."

"It's been five years since I switched back to using tickets."

"You don't have to buy a bicycle and you don't go out much, so of course you don't know."

Mr. Wang suddenly realized: "Oh, that's what happened! Xiao Ji, when you come back next time, I will find you two bicycle tickets!"

"No, Mr. Wang, don't worry about me!"

Ji Yuanhai quickly declined and stood up to leave.

Mr. Wang pointed to the cooked food bought by the nanny Aunt Wu: "The food is here, why don't you leave?"

"Don't be polite, leave after eating!" The silver-haired woman also advised, and also said to Mr. Wang, "Old man, don't be nagging! Xiao Ji has to go home in a hurry!"

Mr. Wang nodded repeatedly, retaining Ji Yuanhai just for a casual meal.

Ji Yuanhai couldn't refuse the warm hospitality and sincerely tried to persuade him to stay. In the end, he stayed for a meal.

After all, Ji Yuanhai has a memory of attending many dinner parties. There is no problem with personal hygiene and details. He is not too embarrassed when facing Mr. Wang and his wife. He does not bury himself in eating, click his lips, pick teeth and other trivial problems. Possibly polite.

After dinner, when Ji Yuanhai was about to leave, the silver-haired woman suddenly said: "Hey, old man, is our Xiaoyun's bicycle idle and useless?"
