Chapter 8 Blind Date Failed

Facing the light, Zhang Weifang immediately saw the boy sitting upright, with a short buzz cut and a square face. The first impression was not bad.

Seeing Zhang Weifang looking at him, Wang Zhongming stood up quickly and saluted Zhang Weifang:

"Hello, Comrade Zhang Weifang. My name is Wang Chongming."

Seeing such a formal introduction, Zhang Qiaona and Sister Ruyi burst into laughter. Sister Ruyi said:

"Zhongming, sit down, sit down, you're welcome, Weifang will sit down too."

The two people sat on both sides of the table, neither of them speaking. Sister Ruyi first gave a brief account of the two people's situation, then took Aunt Qiao away, leaving the two young people feeling awkward.

As a man, Wang Zhongming spoke first. He talked about his days as a soldier in Meng Province and described the scenery of the grassland and the galloping horses.

The man became more and more excited as he spoke, and gradually became more and more eloquent. If Zhang Weifang had not been from the New Century, she would have been overwhelmed by the scenes he described.

Zhang Weifang is secretly chatting with the system at this moment:

"Qiqi, why does his name sound familiar to me? So he's one of the Red Lines? What's going on?"

"Host, Wang Zhongming is a better blind date candidate for the villagers. The reason you can go on a blind date with him is because of his high academic qualifications!" The big mouth of the Yue Lao system opened and closed.

"Well, what do you think of him?"

"Host, I'm not human, so I don't understand your emotions. However, based on data analysis, Wang Zhongming is pretty good."

"Well, I don't like it anyway. I think he's too boastful."

Wang Zhongming spoke for a long time before he stopped and stared at the girl opposite him, wanting to see her reaction. He saw Zhang Weifang in a daze. He was puzzled and asked directly:

"Comrade Weifang, is there anything else you would like to know?"

Zhang Weifang came back to his senses and asked, "Have you retired from the army? What are your future work plans?"

"Well, you know I'm the eldest in the family, and I have to take care of my parents in their old age, so I decided to go back to the village and start working first."

"Oh, has your family split up? Or do you all live together?" Zhang Weifang asked again.

"Those who are married have all split up their property, but after I get married I want to live with my parents. My parents are still young and can help us."

"Well, you know, I used to go to school all the time and I wasn't good at housework." Zhang Weifang deliberately pointed out her own shortcomings.

Wang Zhongming didn't know what Zhang Weifang was thinking, but after hearing her question, he thought about it before answering:

"You can learn housework slowly after you get married."

The two chatted for a few more words and then Wang Zhongming said goodbye. After he left, Zhang Weifang breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't like this man. He spoke too empty words.

It is obvious that he was laid off during a major military downsizing, but now he says that he is doing this to provide for his parents in their old age.

Moreover, he only raised pigs in the kitchen for half a year, but he could brag about his prairie horses. It was obvious that he was deliberately deceiving people.

It would be fine if he didn't have a job, but he insisted on going to work first. People who didn't know would think that he could be arranged a job later. It was the military uniform that gave him face.

He was also very patriarchal. When Zhang Weifang said she didn't know how to do housework, he immediately told her to learn, but he himself had no intention of helping.

Zhang Weifang really looked down on him in every way, but since the Yue Lao system said that he was the original body's former official partner, she didn't say anything.

Sister Ruyi saw the man leave and immediately came over to ask:

"Weifang, what do you think of people?"

Zhang Weifang was actually quite embarrassed and didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, she said honestly:

"Sister-in-law, he and I are not suitable."

Upon hearing this, Sister Ruyi became anxious:

"Why is it not suitable? The young man is tall and strong, handsome, and his family is well-off. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Zhang Weifang didn't know what to say. Should she say she didn't like him? People these days just get married when they're almost ready. There was no question of liking or not liking someone. If she said that, people would definitely laugh.

"Sister-in-law, I want to find someone who is down-to-earth and steady. Wang Zhongming talks too much!" Zhang Weifang could only make an excuse.

"You, you have become stupid because of reading too much. You are not talkative, but he is talkative. Isn't it just right? You must not be stupid. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again." Sister Ruyi advised.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to trouble you this time. I really feel it's inappropriate." Zhang Weifang refused with a stiff upper lip.

Sister Ruyi tapped her head with her finger:

"You, eh, whatever you want, I don't know what to say."

Sister Ruyi left after she finished speaking. At noon, at the dinner table, Zhang Weishuang also asked about the blind date.

Zhang Weifang said it was inappropriate and stopped talking. Zhang Jiuyun and Zhang Qiaona did not try to persuade her.

"It's okay, big sister, take your time and look for someone. Don't be in a hurry. You are such a good person, you will definitely find someone you are satisfied with." Zhang Weishuang felt that the man must not be good enough and was not worthy of her big sister.

"Sister, you are already 18 years old, what are you still picky about? I heard that Dr. Wang's family is very rich, you will live a happy life if you marry him." As soon as Zhang Weifen said this, the scene instantly became quiet.

In fact, other people also have such thoughts, but they just don’t say it out loud.

"Okay, let's eat first. You can make your own decisions about your eldest sister's affairs." Zhang Jiuyun made the final decision, and no one else dared to say anything.

Wang Zhongming was very satisfied with Zhang Weifang, and he urged his mother to marry her as soon as possible.

After dinner, Zhang Weifang lay on the kang and fell asleep. She thought the blind date was over.

Who knew that sister-in-law Ruyi would come over again at night:

"Weifang, let me tell you, the Wang family is very satisfied with you and wants you to marry into their family as soon as possible."

Zhang Weifang's eyes widened. Hadn't he already rejected her? Why was he even talking about marriage?

"Sister-in-law, didn't I already refuse?"

"You silly girl, they're willing to pay 20 yuan as a betrothal gift and buy you two sets of clothes. You're not satisfied with such good conditions?"

Zhang Weifang is really having a headache this time:

"Sister-in-law, no matter how much money his family offers, I'm not willing to do it. Just push it away."

"Sister, you can't be stupid. Marry a man to have clothes and food. You still have to find a good condition when you get married. What's the point of relying on those feelings without money?"

"Sister-in-law, I know. How about you introduce me to someone else? I really don't like this person."

"Think it over carefully, and don't regret it later. There's a relative on my mother's side waiting for me to introduce them to someone."

When Zhang Weifang heard that there was someone else willing to take over, he couldn't wait for the two of them to get it done right away.

"Okay, okay, I've thought it through, sister-in-law. I really don't want to marry him."

Seeing that Zhang Weifang was really unwilling, Sister Ruyi stopped trying to persuade her. She couldn't force her.
