Chapter 8 Blind Date
Lin Xia, who was also full, was touching her stomach and savoring the food. She felt as if she had not eaten so full in a long time. In modern times, she loved to eat, but she didn't dare to eat so much normally. She could only eat when rewarding herself, otherwise she would definitely weigh 200 kilograms.
Hearing Lin's father's curious question, Lin Xia answered calmly: "The delicious taste shows that I have a talent for cooking!"
Wang Yanmei also thinks that her sister-in-law’s cooking is delicious. After all, these days, who would be willing to use so much oil when cooking? It really makes her feel bad. It is delicious, but a bit wasteful.
After dinner, it’s time to rest because you have to go to work in the afternoon.
Lin Xia lay on the chair, watching Lin's mother and Wang Yanmei clean the table, not wanting to move at all.
"Let me see what clothes you bought?" Lin's mother remembered that her daughter had been out for a walk for the whole morning and she only saw the flesh but not the clothes.
"The fabric I bought is in my room." Lin Xia was too lazy to move. Ready-made clothes were tacky and expensive, so she still chose the cloth.
Seeing that her daughter really bought it and did not seem to be lying, Lin's mother let her go and thought about the blind date her daughter-in-law had mentioned.
"Your sister-in-law's director told her about someone today. Will you go and meet him tomorrow?" Mother Lin watched her daughter return to her lazy look and got used to it.
When Lin Xia heard that it was a blind date, she thought it was going so fast. She was just asked to go shopping for clothes this morning, and now she has to go on a blind date tomorrow?
"What kind of person is he? What's the situation at home?" Lin Xia asked her sister-in-law lazily, as she felt sleepy after eating.
Wang Yanmei then told everyone about Director Lu’s nephew.
The sounds of talking and working beside her ears were like a lullaby. Lin Xia's consciousness gradually faded away. She could not hear clearly what was said afterwards. She only vaguely remembered that he was a soldier, his family was well-off, and he was so and so old.
She felt it was good. A good family background meant that she would not have to worry about trivial matters. Being a soldier meant that she could live on her own. This was good, very good...
After Wang Yanmei cleaned up the table, she had already prepared herself on how to persuade her sister-in-law. But when she looked up, she found that her sister-in-law had fallen asleep in the chair.
I sighed in my heart. Without dividing the family property, there was nothing I could do about my sister-in-law.
Lin Xia was dreaming. She dreamed of the handsome man during the day. The man had a very handsome smile on his face.
Lin Xia was awakened by a loud bang. She opened her eyes suddenly and found herself sleeping on the chair.
The house was quiet, with only the sound of noise coming from the alley outside.
With the original owner's cannon fodder physique, who knows what will happen if he goes out to watch the fun, so Lin Xia obediently returned to the room.
Lying on the bed, she could not quite remember what happened in the dream. She only remembered that handsome man, whose smile made Lin Xia's heart itchy.
Lin Xia rolled over on the bed and habitually reached for her cell phone next to the pillow, but found nothing.
Without a cell phone to check the time, Lin Xia lay on the bed tiredly and didn't want to move. The busy days of overtime work seemed like a thing of the past life.
Ever since she was betrayed by her boyfriend in her previous life, she has focused all her attention on work, just wanting to escape poverty. She had dated before, but all of them ended in failure for various reasons.
Later, she gave up her plan to get married and have children. She didn't contact her remarried mother much. Once they went out for dinner, but they ended up having a bad time. Since then, she only contacted her mother by phone.
After she broke up with her last boyfriend, her mother became anxious and started arranging blind dates for her with various people.
Most of them are hard to describe. If her mother hadn't cried and begged her to go meet him before she traveled through time, she wouldn't have gone.
Speaking of blind dates, she seemed to hear some words from her sister-in-law when she was drowsy and dozing off. They were information about the person who was introduced to her. After that, she fell asleep and didn't remember what was said.
In this era, introducing people to each other is what is known as blind dates in later generations, and Lin Xia doesn't mind it.
Otherwise, she might as well get married early while she is still young, so that she won't be urged to do so when she gets older.
The leader of my sister-in-law's hospital has asked personally, so let's give her some face. She has experienced many blind dates like this.
Finding someone you like is just about living together. It will all be the same sooner or later.
Lin Xia, who had already lost confidence in men, had made plans in her mind.
Her room is not big. She used to live with her sister, and the two Lin brothers slept in one room. Later, after they got married, they divided the house into three rooms.
The room was simply furnished with a bed, a small desk with drawers on which were placed the original owner's old textbooks and some books, and a cabinet with a hollowed-out side for easy access and storage, and a mirror on the other side. It wasn't very high-definition, but one could still see the original owner's beautiful face.
The oval face as big as a palm probably inherited the good genes from Lin's mother. The watery peach blossom eyes look very charming, with thick and curled eyelashes, and a watery light flowing in the eyes. Lin Xia is intoxicated by the original owner's appearance every time she sees her.
Lin Xia had good looks in her previous life, and after putting on makeup she could compete with the original owner.
When she saw the original owner's appearance, she understood why Lin's mother didn't want her daughter to go to the countryside. If one does not have the ability and background, being too beautiful would be a misfortune.
In her previous life, she had gained advantages because of her beauty, but it also attracted wolves. Fortunately, she was smart. From then on, she used makeup to cover up some of her brilliance at work, which indeed reduced a lot of covetousness.
In addition, the situation will only get more and more chaotic in the future, and almost no place will be unaffected. The problem is how to get through this time safely.
It was the 1970s and the situation was grim. Logically, the original owner should have gone to university at his age, or even a technical secondary school.
But the original owner was chasing after men, and the university was suspended, so she didn't care about her grades anymore, and in the end she didn't even get into college.
If you want to go to college, except for recommendation from workers, peasants and soldiers, you can only wait until the college entrance examination is resumed.
But even if Lin Xia knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed, it would be several years later, and she couldn't wait until then. The best way out was to find a job, but it was particularly difficult to recruit workers at that time.
The situation will only get more serious in the future. If she can't find a job, she might really have to move to the countryside.
Even if she passed the exam and got a job, there was no telling what changes would happen. Except for the second sister-in-law who was pregnant and unemployed, all the other members of the Lin family had jobs. This was why the Lin family was very eye-catching and envied in the alley.
I can’t think about college for the time being. The job that the original owner had gotten was lost by herself, and the male protagonist used it to please the female protagonist.
She didn't know when the original owner of the book went to the countryside. The book only briefly mentioned the original owner's fate later in the book, but did not specify the time.
When Lin Xia thought of this, she felt that she could not just sit there and wait for death. The road to the countryside was not easy to travel, and she was not like the heroine in the novel who had a golden finger to protect her. With the original owner's small body, the rations she earned would not even fill her stomach.
Thinking of this, Lin Xia just felt a headache. She turned over and got up and stopped thinking about it. She took out the pure cotton cloth she bought and prepared to make a pair of underwear.
The underwear at that time was all vests, which were not elastic and were very thin. She didn't want to go out because she felt insecure. The original owner had a very good figure, with a curvy figure.
Lin Xia was extremely envious of this figure. Her figure alone was enough to make her a stunner. Fortunately, her clothes were loose at that time, and most of them were blue, gray, and khaki. Few people could notice her, so she was much safer.
Although the tools are not suitable and there are not so many fabric choices, it is nice to have cotton Linxia.
She first drew a rough outline on the newspaper with a pencil, then cut out the sample with scissors, printed it on the cloth, and outlined the lines little by little with chalk. After cutting it out with scissors, she sewed it up little by little with a hand needle.
After an afternoon, a small top was finished. Although my hands were sore from the prickles, I still felt a sense of accomplishment.
Lin Xia put it on excitedly to try out the size, but she was still short of the last rope to tie it up. She couldn't find a small hook in the market, so she could only use elastic rope.
The fabric is pure cotton and has no elasticity, but Lin Xia made a double layer, which is strong and comfortable. Feeling lifted up, Lin Xia jumped twice and felt that she was still very powerful.
Change it, tie the rope according to size, and you're done.
Lin Xia saw that there was not enough time to make another one, so she cut another triangular piece of fabric and prepared to make it into a set with the small top. In this era, people actually wore boxer shorts!
