Chapter 13: Changing the Light Bulb for Lou Xiaoe

Early Morning

Sihe Academy

Yan Family

Seven people are sitting at the table drinking porridge, so it's no wonder the Third Uncle likes to calculate.

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, this young couple, are unemployed at home.

Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi are still in school.

A whole family relies on his meager salary as a primary school teacher to survive; it's hard to live without careful calculation.

If you really want to talk about it, the Yan family's life is much more difficult than the Jia family's.

After drinking the porridge, the Third Aunt mentions to her eldest daughter-in-law, Yu Li, about introducing Yu Haitang to Cao Weiguo.

Yu Li is surprised: "Haitang and Cao Weiguo?"

Yan Jiecheng laughs disdainfully: "Cao Weiguo, a cook, is worthy of Yu Haitang?"

This Yu Haitang is young and beautiful, and is a broadcaster at the rolling mill.

Good appearance, educated, good job; she is the flower of the rolling mill.

Yu Li shakes her head: "Mom, you don't know my sister; her eyes wish they could grow on the top of her head. I'm afraid she won't take a fancy to Cao Weiguo."

The Third Aunt tells the Third Uncle's calculation:

"Hmph, you all underestimate Cao Weiguo. He... if these conditions were told, I don't know how many matchmakers would run into the Cao family."

"Over a thousand yuan in savings!"

"Cao Weiguo is so rich!"

"The savings in that kid's house are actually more than our family's!"

Yan Jiecheng says jealously: "People really compare with people and die of anger."

Yu Li is moved: "According to your calculation, Cao Weiguo's conditions are indeed quite good. I'll find time to talk to Yu Haitang."

The Third Uncle says seriously: "Eldest daughter-in-law, you take this matter seriously. If this matter succeeds, won't Cao Weiguo have to give our family benefits."

Cao Family

The door is knocked knock-knock-knock.

Cao Weiguo shouts with morning anger: "Who is it!"

A crisp voice rings outside the door: "Weiguo, it's me, Xiaoe Jie. The light bulb at home is broken, please help me change it."

"Lou Jie, wait a moment, I'm getting up."

Hearing it is Lou Xiaoe, Cao Weiguo gets up and gets dressed quickly, and his tone becomes soft.

Lou Xiaoe is kind-hearted and once gave him a piece of jujube cake to eat.

The two families don't interact much, and they don't say a few words all year round.

But Cao Weiguo has always kept the taste of that jujube cake in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 15 =====
