No Matchmaking in the 60s

Looking up at the starry sky, the stars twinkled ceaselessly, much like those blinking, beautiful eyes. However, despite being a dark, windy night perfect for a date, Du Jiang fell silent.

Un...

Chapter 29 It’s Yingying

Du Jiang originally thought that after the unpleasant parting in the morning, Tianniu was very dissatisfied with him and might not even come to work in the afternoon. Who knew that she not only came alone, but also brought a beautiful girl wearing Dacron.

Du Jiang didn't meet all the people in the village, but the one in front of him, who was dressed like a girl from the city and even looked very pretty, was the first one.

Looking at the fair hand in front of him, Du Jiang subconsciously wiped his palm before shaking it, "Hello, my name is Du Jiang."

"Hello, my name is Du Yingying. My father is the village chief. Our house is next to your educated youth site." Du Yingying smiled sweetly, and her voice was as clear and pleasant as a bell. Du Jiangshi could hardly imagine that this girl would be the village chief. It's not that Aunt Cui was not good-looking, but the village chief's face was full of pimples, and his face was weathered by hard work. It can only be said that if it weren't for the same surname, these two people would be exactly the same.

Perhaps it was because Du Jiang's expression was too strange that Du Yingying couldn't help laughing again. "Do you think I look different from my father? There's nothing I can do about it. I look more like my grandmother. In the words of you city people, it's called atavism."

Uh, Du Jiang had no way to refute the word used and could only nod in agreement with the other party.

After laughing for a while, Du Yingying introduced the purpose of her visit, "Du Zhiqing, I have something to trouble you with."

Ah, Du Jiang looked at Du Yingying, then looked at his own body, which was covered in patches and even stained with dust from climbing the mountain, and was puzzled. "Me?"

Du Yingying nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it's you. I don't know who else to ask for help except you." Then a hint of shyness flashed across her face, and her voice became a little awkward. "Does Xu Zhiqing from your educated youth site have a girlfriend? Can you help me ask him out? If you are free in the evening, I will wait for him at the ditch west of the village." After she finished speaking, she looked at Du Jiang with a pair of bright eyes, which made Du Jiang stunned.

After the other party jumped and skipped away happily, Du Jiang just wanted to slap himself. Beauty can be misleading. When he thought of the message he had just promised to deliver, Du Jiang felt depressed.

She wanted to catch up and explain things to Du Yingying, but was stopped by the silent sweet girl. "Since you've already promised Yingying, one more person won't make a difference. So, ask Li Hongjun out tonight as well. Free love is popular nowadays, so you won't be afraid of running into people. After all, four people are definitely safer than a single man and a single woman, don't you agree, Jiang Jiang, Little Matchmaker?"

You have arranged everything, why are you still asking me? Du Jiang complained a lot, but unfortunately no one gave her a chance to speak.

After Tianniu finished speaking, she was afraid that Du Jiang would refuse, so she turned around and left, imitating Du Yingying. However, when she left, she did not forget to take the backpack and sickle with her. Her quick steps made Du Jiang put down his outstretched hand helplessly.

Du Jiang originally thought that he could just get away with it, but who knew that when he got off work in the afternoon, Shanshan, the sweet girl, came back with Du Yingying and brought back the pig grass they had picked all afternoon. She also gave Du Jiang half a basket of wild peaches and wolfberries. Looking at the wolfberries that were as red as little light bulbs, although there were only a handful, it was enough to surprise Du Jiang.

"Where did you find this thing? Why didn't I see it when I was picking pig grass?"

The sweet girl chuckled, "If you go to the cemetery in the valley, you'll find these small orange fruits growing on the graves there, but they're not very edible."

"That's not called fruit, it's called wolfberry. If you dry it, you can take it to the pharmacy or hospital in town and they will buy it," Du Yingying interrupted Tianniu unhappily, and then said to Du Jiang in a friendly manner, "Comrade Du, I'm sorry to trouble you with the tonight matters."

After saying that, Du Yingying did not give Du Jiang a chance to reply as she did at noon. She pulled the sweet girl who was still trying to talk to her and left. She even walked away in a hurry. Looking at the dirt scattered on the ground, Du Jiang shrugged his shoulders. It seemed that this Du Yingying in her little leather shoes was not as spoiled as she appeared. She was not only brave but also good-looking. However, this was not enough for Du Jiang to be a matchmaker for the two of them.

However, Du Yingying and Tianniu may have guessed Du Jiang's thoughts, so when Du Jiang returned to the educated youth point, two heads popped out from the walls on both sides. Looking at the two familiar smiling faces, Du Jiang was slightly embarrassed.

"Du Jiang, I'm sorry. What I did at noon was wrong. I apologize to you." Qian Meili ran out when she heard the footsteps, not noticing the heads on the walls on both sides apologizing continuously. Looking at the other party's heads going down sincerely, Du Jiang could only accept it, but still said what she had to say, "Sister Qian, you have taken good care of me since you came here. Thank you for all this time. As for cooking, let's do as we agreed at noon. After all, it's almost September now. I probably won't be back at noon in winter, and I will only come back to rest at night, so I don't think I can help you with cooking."

Qian Meili had already been counseled by He Jiefang, and Du Jiang's refusal was acceptable to her. She nodded immediately, "Of course. After all, it's not convenient for you to run back and forth in the cold winter. But it's not safe for a little girl like you at night. So, we can just go pick you up from work together when the time comes."

Du Jiang smiled, neither nodding nor refusing. After all, it was still some time before winter, and anything could happen in such a long time.

After apologizing, Qian Meili happily went into the house. As for the two gossipy heads on the wall, she didn't notice them from beginning to end. She didn't know whether she was too careless or had poor eyesight.

After listening to the whole show, Du Yingying and Tianniu looked at each other and made a "bugubugu" sound at the same time. After attracting Du Jiang's attention, they pointed in the direction of the main house at the same time.

Well, it turned out that these two people were still concerned about Li Hongjun and Xu Zhizhou. Knowing that she could not escape, Du Jiang resigned herself to her fate and went into the house to act as a messenger. Of course, she did not mention the names of Tianniu and Du Yingying, but said that the village chief and Uncle Du had something to do with the two of them.

Without any suspicion, Xu Zhizhou immediately took Li Hongjun out. Du Yingying and Tianniu, who were listening to the noise in the yard, heard the sound of the door opening and closing at the educated youth point, and followed them out one after another.

Du Jiang, who didn't have to cook, read the textbook on the bed for a while, but still walked out worriedly.

As soon as Du Jiang left, Huo Yang followed with a frown. The others looked at each other in confusion.

He Jiefang: "Why don't we go and take a look too."

Bai Yongjun: "What are you looking at? Didn't the village chief and Uncle Du call them? Nothing should happen, right?"

Qian Meili: "I just saw something on the wall shrink back."

Chen Xiaozhen: "They are not things, they are people. One is the daughter of the village chief, and the other is a sweet girl."

Forehead…

Qian Meili and He Jiefang fell silent when they knew that Aunt Du asked Du Jiang to be a matchmaker. Was this an appointment to meet after dusk?
