Chapter 130 Meeting

"Introducing me to someone? Me?"

Gu Zuozuo spat out a mouthful of tea.

The chattering old lady across from him was sprayed directly over the head with a stream of cold water, leaving her completely stunned.

Qi Meng and Meng Tian also looked at the old lady who came to matchmake Gu Zuozuo in astonishment, their eyes filled with shock.

That old lady is brave! In the past few years, Zuo Zuo has driven away at least eight or ten matchmakers. Everyone in the surrounding villages knows that Gu Zhiqing hates it when people try to arrange marriages for her.

It had been a month since they returned from Beijing. Having just finished the spring planting season, the unmarried female educated youth at the educated youth settlement were greeted with a surge of matchmaking proposals.

Qi Meng was a little better off. Li Mo would come to see her every few days, so the people in the village knew that she already had a boyfriend and stopped looking for her.

The remaining girls, however, were in a terrible situation, constantly being harassed and annoyed.

I thought that by hiding here with Zuo Zuo, I could escape those matchmakers who couldn't understand human language. Who knew that even Zuo Zuo's name wouldn't work this time, and I was directly cornered at the health station.

The old woman wiped the water off her face and forced a smile through her teeth, her wrinkles almost bursting open.

"You're both getting on in years. Gu Zhiqing is already twenty-three, isn't she? Girls your age in the surrounding villages have long been married and had children, and their kids are old enough to run errands. You still don't have a boyfriend. If you wait any longer, all the men your age in the surrounding villages will be ugly and unattractive. With your looks and circumstances, you'll be at a huge disadvantage if you get married later!"

Even Gu Zuozuo, who has the most stable mentality, almost had a heart attack.

What's wrong with being twenty-three?

At twenty-three, she would have just graduated from university in her later life; how could she be considered old?

Seeing that there were only a few unmarried female educated youths left, the old woman rolled up her sleeves and began a long speech.

“Listen to me! The children I’m giving you all have town residency, and their entire families, except for the children themselves, work at the slaughterhouse. Once you marry into their families, you’ll have meat to eat every day, and you’ll even get pocket money! They’re sturdy and honest…”

System: [Short stature = stocky, honest = foolish]

"There's another family where the child is thrifty and has a lucky appearance..."

System: [Being good at managing money = being stingy; being lucky = being overweight]

"There's another child who's over 1.7 meters tall, and their family is quite well-off..."

System: [Being 1.71 meters tall is still considered over 1.7 meters. A good family background only means the person isn't very good.]

Gu Zuozuo: ...I can't hold it in anymore, I want to laugh.

(ᇂ_ᇂ|||)

Before she could even say anything, the system poured buckets of cold water on her, freezing her heart, which she had never intended to find a man, even more solid.

"Shut up!"

If she kept talking, she really would burst out laughing.

The system, looking aggrieved, pulled back its aggravated antennae, and even its electronic eyes turned into tearful eyes.

It wasn't it that said it! It was that pervert who controlled it that said it!

But it dared not say it outright, for fear that the pervert would mess with it again!

Claes feels so helpless right now... (っ´;ω;`с )

Looking at the several female educated youths who showed no interest whatsoever, the matchmaker couldn't help but take a deep breath and mentally encourage herself.

It's alright, she doesn't believe she can't persuade the cripple with her silver tongue... Ah! No! ...to arrange a marriage that can't be completed!

Before she could continue introducing the merits of those people, two figures in military green walked in from outside.

"Jiangbei!"

Meng Tian suddenly stood up to greet him, her face full of joy. She never expected to see him again.

Upon hearing this, the others also looked outside.

Gu Zuozuo raised an eyebrow. Why were these two here now?

Looking at Xie Jinyu's calm demeanor masking turbulent emotions, Gu Zuozuo was completely baffled. What was going on?

The matchmaker, who was initially annoyed by the interruption, looked at the two handsome, tall and slender soldiers, and then at the two female educated youths whose eyes were fixed on them, and couldn't help but groan inwardly.

Why do the pretty female educated youths in their village always get seduced by outsiders?

The key point is that these young men are all incredibly handsome, while the ones she introduced really seem like ugly ducklings compared to them.

There's no comparison, absolutely no comparison!

It's like matching a pot with a lid; they deserved to be unlucky enough to not marry female educated youths in their village.

Thinking this way, she completely forgot that there were still a few women in her village who had married men from the village. Although none of them were easy to deal with, they were still female educated youths, after all.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, the matchmaker, who was adept at reading people's expressions, gave an unheard greeting with an embarrassed smile and slipped away.

Gu Zuozuo patted Xie Jinyu's shoulder, signaling him to come out with her, leaving the space to her sister who would lose all her intelligence when she saw her sweetheart. The other educated youths also secretly left with smiles on their faces.

"What happened?"
