Chapter 8 The Evil Wife in Period Literature 7

In the People's Park, Cheng Jianfeng sat on a bench in the park, anxiously waiting for his blind date to arrive.

Ever since he returned home from dinner at the Lin family last time, the girl's smiling eyes have been lingering in his mind from time to time.

Especially after hearing that Lin's mother was going to arrange a blind date for her daughter, he became even more anxious, fearing that the girl he liked would be snatched away by someone else.

Therefore, Cheng Jianfeng, who was feeling the spring of love for the first time in 27 years, had to bite the bullet and visit his teacher's wife who had always cared about his marriage.

Director Qin almost laughed out loud as she looked at the person who was lying stiffly on the sofa in her house. She had said before that she would introduce him to someone, but she didn't know who said that she had to devote herself to her career and had no time to start a family.

Putting the fruit cakes he brought aside, Director Qin asked with a smile: "Which girl do you like?"

Cheng Jianfeng was rarely shy: "She is the daughter of Mr. Lin from West Street Hutong."

Upon hearing this, Director Zheng put down the newspaper and wanted to say something, but was stopped by his wife with a look.

Director Qin restrained her husband and said with a smile, "Oh? She is his daughter. She is a nice girl. So how far have you progressed? Do you want me to help you propose marriage?"

Cheng Jianfeng shook his head in embarrassment: "Master's wife, I haven't officially met the girl yet, so I want to ask you to be a middleman so that I can have the opportunity to get in touch with her and get to know her better."

Hearing this answer, Director Qin raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that this boy hadn't yet gotten the girl. She immediately agreed to the request of this little apprentice.

After sending his apprentice away, Director Zheng fanned the newspapers and snorted, "Are you addicted to the Women's Federation? Why are you still messing around with the love music?"

Director Qin packed up the gifts and asked: "Why did I mess up the score?"

"The little girl from the Lin family is very squeamish. When the old Zhang family went down, she went home directly. She had to share the joys and sorrows."

Director Qin rolled his eyes at her husband on the sofa and said, "You are talking without any hesitation. What kind of loving parent would want to let their daughter suffer in the countryside? Besides, I haven't heard that the child has remarried in the past three years. In ancient times, the only thing to do after a husband's death was to observe mourning for three years. This shows that the child is well behaved."

Walking to the sofa, Director Qin continued, "Besides, this is the best marriage for Xiaofeng."

"If it weren't for the fact that his daughter had been married once, do you think Lin Lao Hu would be interested in Xiao Feng? Your disciple has just arrived in Beijing and has no relatives here except you. If he marries Lin Lao Hu's only daughter, at least he will have help behind him and his future will be much easier."

"And Xiao Feng himself is also interested in it. Isn't this a match made in heaven?"

Looking at her husband who had stopped talking, Director Qin snorted in her heart, "Humph, all men are of the same character..."

When Lin Xiang got off the bus and walked to the park, she saw from a distance a man in military uniform sitting on a bench with his back straight, looking very well-behaved.

Inexplicably, she seemed to see a majestic leopard lying on the ground, looking at the crowd vigilantly, but waiting obediently for its owner to caress it.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Lin Xiang watched the man stand up in an instant, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.

Cheng Jianfeng saw the girl he liked walking towards him in the sunshine, and his heart was beating wildly. He silently told himself not to panic, took a deep breath, and forced himself to smile: "Hello, Comrade Lin Xiang, I just got here too." Yes, I just got here an hour ago.

Lin Xiang couldn't help laughing. Today, she let her hair down, her black silk like a waterfall, but she carefully picked out two strands of hair on both sides and braided them into small pigtails and crossed them behind her head.

Paired with the white striped skirt she wore today, she is truly the first love in the dreams of countless men in later generations.

As expected, Cheng Jianfeng was also dazzled by her outfit and forced himself to look away from the girl's face. If he looked at her for too long, people would think he was a pervert.

At this time, he hated himself for being so bad at talking. He had always been in the army and had basically no contact with lesbians. So now even if he met a girl he liked, he would not know how to get along with her.

If he had known this earlier, he would have sought advice from the married people in the bureau.

Alas, bad decision.

The gay man in front of her kept his head down looking at the lawn, which made Lin Xiang doubt her own charm.

Lin Xiang smiled and said, "Comrade Cheng, do you understand my situation? I've been married once before, do you mind?"

Cheng Jianfeng assured with a serious face: "Director Qin has already introduced these situations to me before. This is a choice forced upon you by the general environment of the times. I don't mind."

Fortunately, it is not the old-fashioned idea that requires women to be faithful to one man.

"Then you know I don't want to be too far away from my home. After marriage, I may go back to my parents' home often." Lin Xiang said tentatively.

"It's okay. My parents are usually in my hometown in Hebei. Unless there's something important, they probably won't come to Beijing to see me. And I'm usually busy with work, so it would be great if my parents-in-law could take care of you more on weekdays."

Well, there is no male chauvinism that requires a wife to be treated like a slave.

…………

Cheng Jianfeng felt anxious as he saw Lin Xiang stopped talking. He thought for a moment and took out two movie tickets from his pocket. These tickets were given to him by his master's wife.

Of course, the original words of the Master's wife were "Xiao Feng, if you really can't speak, take the girl to the movies first, and then take her to the state-owned hotel for dinner."

"I heard that Tunnel Warfare is showing today, why don't we go watch a movie?" He was nervous but pretended to be calm.

Looking at his expectant eyes, Lin Xiang smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

Finding a seat in the dim light, Cheng Jianfeng held the peanuts and sunflower seeds he bought at the cinema entrance in his hand and leaned towards Lin Xiang, "Would you like some?"

In the interweaving of light and darkness, Lin Xiang looked at the blind date beside her. He had a righteous face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was a calm person with a stable job and didn't talk much. Well, this was also an advantage.

My parents-in-law and the man’s relatives live far away in Hebei and we don’t usually get along with each other, so this was a big surprise.

Overall, his conditions are good, and he is the candidate that my parents agree with...

The sound of artillery explosions on the screen brought Lin Xiang back to her senses. Looking at the snacks that had been stretched out in front of her, she grabbed a handful and put them in her hand. Maybe marrying someone was a good choice.

As the crowd walked out of the theater, Cheng Jianfeng saw that Lin Xiang was about to be bumped into, so he pulled her against the wall. It seemed that something soft hit her chest... Suddenly, he realized something, his face flushed, and he straightened the girl in his arms and whispered, "Watch the road carefully, Comrade Lin."

Lin Xiang smiled and asked jokingly, "So was Captain Cheng taking advantage of me just now?"

"Bang, bang, bang." Cheng Jianfeng felt his heart beating fast. He quickly lowered his head and strode forward: "Comrade Lin, I'll treat you to a meal."

Lin Xiang was left looking at someone with red ears and neck and hands and feet.
