According to the custom of doing red things in Lan County, the matchmaker led the man to the woman's house for a blind date, and after the blind date was successful, the man wanted to give the matchmaker a thank you gift.

Generally, there are 6 gifts, 666 or 888 red envelopes, cigarettes, pork and sugar are standard.

A towel means to wipe off the mildew on the matchmaker, because mildew is homophonic with the matchmaker.

A pair of shoes means that the matchmaker broke his leg and wore out his shoes for our relatives, so he gave a pair of shoes as compensation.

Lao Zhao looked at the standard Xie Matchmaker's six-piece suit and smiled kindly: "I'm just the host of your engagement, not the matchmaker, right?" ”

Li Lin said: "Panpan and I are in free love, and we can get engaged without a matchmaker, but we must have a matchmaker to get married." ”

According to the custom of Lan County, after the newlyweds get married, the husband will bring his own brothers, cousins or friends to send his wife back to the door.

The wife's maiden family should set up a thank-you banquet to entertain the guests and matchmakers, and the protagonist of the thank-you matchmaking banquet is the matchmaker, and the man's relatives and friends and the woman's relatives must thank the matchmaker for the matchmaker's wine.

Lao Zhao has a picture in his mind, Director Liu's house in the capital is setting up a banquet for Xie Media, I, Lao Zhao, is sitting on the main seat in the north, and Director Liu is toasting me with a wine glass.

Thinking of this, he was ecstatic in his heart, but his face was light, and he waved his hand and said modestly: "This is a bit inappropriate, right?" ”

Li Lin said sincerely: "We plan to get married at the end of the year, and your unit will also have a holiday at that time, so we will not delay work." ”

Liu Pandi got up and bowed, and said with a face full of grievances: "Our life after our engagement is happy, we are very grateful to Uncle Zhao, doesn't Uncle Zhao even drink our Xie Wen wine?" ”

Lao Zhao hurriedly stood up and said, "Miss Liu, what are you doing here, quickly sit down and talk." ”

Lao Zhao's wife came over and pulled Liu Pandi to sit down, holding Liu Pandi's hand and glaring at her husband: "Look at the wronged child, isn't it just going to the capital, I'll accompany you when the time comes." ”

Li Lin said: "When the time comes, we will buy a courtyard house in the capital, and we will also buy another Santana, Uncle Zhao should not worry about travel and accommodation." ”

Zhao's wife rolled her eyes and counted her husband: "Why do you fall back more and more as you live?" The thank you banquet is a courtesy, how can you be absent? ”

Lao Zhao smiled embarrassedly, and said in his heart, you old lady knows a fart, Li Lin, this kid wants to talk to me about the deal, but if you think about it carefully, this deal seems to be a sure deal.

Liu Pandi said: "If Uncle Zhao doesn't agree, I will sue my father, and then let my father come over in person to invite Uncle Zhao to Beijing." ”

"Oh, don't embarrass me!" Lao Zhao Mei smiled and said: "I am the matchmaker, and I will drink this matchmaker!" ”

Li Lin and Liu Pandi immediately stood up and thanked them, Lao Zhao and his wife got up and helped each other, and the atmosphere instantly became harmonious.

For a while, there was talk and laughter in the house, and at 8 o'clock in the evening, Li Lin and his wife got up to say goodbye, and Lao Zhao and his wife were sent outside the community.

When he got home, Zhao's wife hurriedly looked at the gift, opened the red envelope and took out 66.6 yuan, opened the shoebox and found that it was a brand-name crocodile leather shoes.

She smiled and said, "What did the little couple come from just now?" The license plate number of the car turned out to be 5 6s, and I think there are drivers who drive for them. ”

Lao Zhao said: "Li Lin caught up with the sharp rise in grain prices when he harvested grain last year, and after getting rich overnight, he changed his career to become a hall distributor. His little daughter-in-law is even more simple, her father is a high-ranking official in the capital. ”

Zhao's wife rolled her eyes: "Then what other nerves do you have?" Being a matchmaker for them can't find good things with lanterns, why aren't you happy? ”

Lao Zhao sighed helplessly, and said that their Xie Matchmaker wine is not good, and the fish bones of Xie Matchmaker may stab my mouth.

Li Lin and his wife took the car back to their hometown, Li's mother Zhang Cui saw that her daughter-in-law was very happy, and pulled Liu Pandi to keep shushing and asking for warmth, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to Li Lin's bedroom to whisper.

Li Dashan's father and son were chatting in the living room, and Li's father couldn't help but feel at ease when he learned that his three children were all fine.

At noon the next day, the bodyguards drove to pick up Li Lin and his wife, and Li Lin returned to the county seat to gather his men and went to the library to continue to negotiate the contract.

Li Lin insisted on a 20% discount offer, Director Qu bit 7% off and did not let go, after more than ten minutes of verbal warfare, Director Qu compromised, and finally agreed to the 20% discount offer.

The general content of the contract is to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the people of Lan County, and Party A's Lan County People's Library purchased 30,000 books from Party B's Yu Province 10,000 Book Wholesale Co., Ltd. at a total price of 600,000 yuan.

Party B must provide all the books according to the contract list before May 1, 1997, and there must be no torn, broken or used books.

Party A is responsible for making a lump sum payment of the contract by May 15, 1997.

All the books provided by Party B must be genuine, otherwise Party A will investigate Party B's legal responsibility according to law.

The two sides argued over the details of the contract, and Li Lin suddenly felt that he should hire a legal counsel.

Two hours later, the two sides signed and sealed the corresponding positions, and the transaction contract for 30,000 books was officially signed.

Li Lin and Director Qu smiled and shook hands, and Director Qu specially invited Lan County TV Station for an interview in order to show his importance to the signing.

The gaffer played the lights, the cameraman carried the camera to record the signing process, and the photographer and Liu Pandi kept taking pictures with a SLR camera.

After signing the contract, a beautiful reporter briefly interviewed Li Lin: "What does Mr. Li think of the expansion project of the Lan County Library?" ”

Li Lin said to the camera: "In my heart, the library project and the hope project can be compared, so that children can go to school and let people have a number of books to read are both great and grand projects." ”

The reporter said: "When I visited the library just now, I found that 50,000 books could not fill all the shelves, what is Mr. Li's opinion on this?" ”

Li Linxin said that you bought your press card, look at the garbage question you asked, and continue to buy it if you can't fill the bookshelf, what can I think?

Li Lin thought about it carefully and said with a smile: "I think the library project should be participated by the whole people, not only hope for government procurement, but also need to donate books from caring people in the society."

Here, I call on all major caring enterprises to actively donate books to our library, and strive to fill the bookshelves belonging to the people of the county as soon as possible, thank you. ”

When he said this, Curator Qu's heart was in his heart, and the old guy immediately took the lead in applauding, and the applause was thunderous for a while.

The female reporter asked: "Mr. Li, as the sole distributor of this library expansion project, will you participate in the book donation activity in the future?" ”

Li Lin said with a smile on his face: "Of course, I am also from Lan County, thank you for the interview." ”

That night, Li Lin's parents saw their son on the Lan County News on Lan County TV, heard their son's voice, and almost didn't make the old couple happy as children.

Liu Pandi smiled and said, "Abba and Mommy, I think Alin is really good on TV, what do you think?" ”

The old couple nodded vigorously, Li Lin yawned and said, "I'll go back to my room to sleep first, I hope you go to bed early, and I'm going to go back to Zhengcheng early tomorrow I'm going to go on a business trip to purchase." ”
