Li Xu traveled to the year 1960. In this era, which he had never seen before and only heard about in books and from elders, the only thing he could do was ensure his family had enough to eat and li...
After hearing this, Li Xu felt a little speechless, and then looked at Li Mei, "Why are you pinching me? After the disaster is over, you can expect to go on blind dates every day."
Li Mei showed no weakness and said, "You deserve it. Who told you to laugh at me?"
Everyone laughed, and then Li Ping said, "If we had arranged a blind date for Xiaomei before, it would have been fine, but now she herself isn't sure if she can come back after graduation. If she really finds someone she likes, it will be a huge hassle. Even if the disaster is over, we can't agree to a blind date."
Li Jiakang reacted instantly and said quickly, "Right, right, right. From now on, no matter who asks you, you must say that Xiaomei's marriage will have to wait until after graduation."
After thinking about it, everyone agreed.
They know someone who can go on a blind date with Li Mei.
As long as you know what you are doing, at least you have to have a job and your family conditions should not be bad.
But what if Li Mei really can't come back, do we have to let her leave her job and family and go to live in Wuhan?
Putting aside other things, is it so easy to find a job after arriving in Wuhan?
So it would be better to wait until Li Mei decides where to go after graduation before making a decision.
After hearing everyone's opinions, Li Mei looked at Li Xu with a smug look on her face and said, "Did you hear that? I'm going to wait until after graduation before going on a blind date."
Li Xu shook his head and pretended to be sorry. "Look at you, you really don't know how to appreciate kindness. I'm thinking about you. Have you ever thought about how old you will be after graduation? Will it be easy to find a partner by then?"
Everyone:,,,
Sun Xiu pondered for a moment, "Xiaomei should have been 22 when she graduated. Not to mention, she's a bit old."
In this era, this age is considered quite old for a woman.
Given Li Mei's conditions, it would be easy for her to find a partner by then, but it would not be so easy to find a satisfactory one.
Generally speaking, it is acceptable for a woman to be three years older than the man, but if she is more than that, it is somewhat unacceptable.
The key point is that people nowadays cannot go to school, so as long as their family conditions are relatively good, they will basically get married at the age of 15 or 16.
For example, after Li Xu got a job, his family started to worry about him getting married.
Unless the family is in financial difficulty or there are special reasons, men will not wait until they are older to get married.
Therefore, this issue is still worthy of attention.
Li Mei said without hesitation, "It's okay. I've thought about it. At worst, I can find someone who loves me. It doesn't matter if the conditions are not so good. He can take care of the housework at home and I will go to work. Anyway, my salary can support the family."
Li Xu and others were stunned.
You know what, her idea is really advanced.
Nowadays, in some families, women do go to work to earn money to support the family, but most of them only get jobs after getting married.
It doesn't mean that after getting a job, you should find a partner and get married with this goal in mind.
At least Li Mei was the first case they knew of.
But Li Jiakang was not happy, "Don't talk nonsense, your mother and I have worked so hard to raise you and send you to college. If you find someone a little worse, it's acceptable, but if it's much worse, it's not acceptable.
Besides, when you graduate from college and find someone who's unemployed, that's not going to look good. I'm telling you, give up on this idea right now. Your mother and I absolutely disagree."
"I agree."
Wow, when this voice came out, not only Li Jiakang, but even Li Xu and others were surprised.
Because this is what Sun Xiu said.
Even Li Mei was stunned. She knew that her idea was indeed somewhat inconsistent with the current mainstream thinking, and she was prepared to be scolded by her family, but she did not expect Sun Xiu to support her.
You have to know that Sun Xiucai is the real head of the Li family. With her support, this idea has the possibility of success.
So he quickly asked, "Mom, you are not lying to me, are you?"
"Xiu'er, what are you thinking? How can you agree to this?" Li Jiakang stared with his eyes wide open, looking incredulous.
"Don't pack it yet." Sun Xiu waved her hand, and when everyone stopped what they were doing, she explained, "Xiaomei is my child, and I naturally hope she can live a good life, but after she graduates, her age will indeed be a problem.
It will be harder to find one the further she goes, so it's better to just follow her heart and find someone who loves her. Besides, she has a bright future ahead of her, and if she gets busier at work, it would be nice to have a man who can take care of her and the family."
Although Sun Xiu didn't say much, everyone could hear the love he had for his son.
Li Mei's eyes immediately turned red, "Mom~"
Sun Xiu laughed immediately, "Today is Little New Year, you can't cry, otherwise it will be unlucky."
"I didn't cry." Then Li Mei looked at Li Jiakang and said, "Dad, my mom agreed. What do you think?"
Li Jiakang sighed, "Your mother's words make sense, but I won't accept it. Let's not even talk about the sacrifices your mother and I have made. Just look at your eldest brother and his wife. They didn't even let you do housework before, just to make sure you studied hard. And your younger brother, they provided you with delicious food and drinks before your exams."
"You might end up marrying an unemployed person in the future. How can they bear that? If you had known this would happen, you might have skipped college and chosen a job directly from your brother. You might have found a good partner by now."
Li Ping quickly said, "Dad, what you said is a bit harsh. Guilan and I hope Xiaomei can study hard and get into college, so that she can have a better future.
I'm going to say something you may not like to hear, Xiaomei has a stubborn personality. If she finds someone from a well-off family, and if that person also has a stubborn personality, how will she live?
Now that she's been admitted to university, she has the capital to make her own choices. As long as she can live a happy life, I can do anything."
Hu Guilan echoed, "Yes, Dad, I support Xiaomei."
As for Li Xu, there is no need to say more.
He felt that Li Mei had the conditions and ability, and it would be better for her to choose someone who loved her, so he naturally expressed his support, "I support Big Sister."
Li Jiakang looked at the three people and suddenly had an urge to vomit blood.
When I mention them, I hope they can stand on my side.
I never expected that they all agreed with Li Mei's idea.
Li Mei received everyone's support and immediately laughed, "Dad, they can handle it. Do you have anything else to say now?"
"My daughter, don't you want to think about it anymore?" Li Jiakang still didn't give up.
Li Xu couldn't help but said, "Dad, please stop talking. Let's hurry up and make dumplings. It would be nice to eat melon seeds and chat after making them. Besides, my elder sister just has this idea. There is a long time. Maybe she will meet someone with good conditions and who loves her in the future."
Seeing that Li Jiakang wanted to speak, Li Xu continued, "How about this, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll talk to Mom and ask her to let you drink an extra glass of wine with each meal during this period. Is that okay?"
