Director Wang could only smile and say, "Yes, I feel the difference in family background is too great."
Chen Ying said, "Who cares about their family background?"
Director Wang continued to smile, "Yes, I said that too, but they are uneasy. They think their daughter is ordinary and they are from an ordinary family. They are afraid that they are not worthy of her...Tingci."
Chen Ying was silent for a moment, "Go tell them, our family doesn't mind."
Director Wang: “…”
I don't understand. Is this a polite refusal?
Director Wang rubbed his hands together, pondered for a moment, and then said, "We've told them, but they still don't think it's appropriate. They... are under a lot of pressure."
Chen Ying: “…”
"What an outrageous family! They have a good marriage opportunity but don't want to seize it. They say they are under a lot of pressure. Then what kind of people don't feel pressured?"
"Do you work in the fields to earn work points?"
"It really is a waste of my daughter's time."
"What did the girl say?"
"She...she listens to her parents."
Chen Ying pursed her lips and didn't want to talk anymore. Director Wang sat for a while, rubbing his hands, and then stood up. "It's getting late. I won't keep you any longer. I'll be leaving now."
Director Wang rushed to the county from the commune and sat down to talk for a while. It was time for dinner. If it were someone else, they would definitely stay for dinner, but Chen Ying didn't say a word.
Without getting up to see him off, Director Wang went out alone, pushed his bicycle and headed to the commune.
As soon as Shen Tingci returned home that night, Chen Ying began to scold him, "This family is really useless. They have a good marriage in their hands, but they say they are under a lot of psychological pressure and yet they don't want it. I don't know what they are thinking."
Shen Tingci couldn't help but ask, "Is it possible that the other party doesn't want this marriage?"
Chen Ying: “…”
"Not willing?"
"Why wouldn't they?"
"Is your appearance not worthy of her, or your family background not worthy of her?"
Shen Tingci shook his head, “Then I don’t know, you have to ask someone.”
Shen Tingyu, the second son of the Shen family, also nodded. "That's right, Mom. Maybe you just disagree and give a euphemism for it."
Chen Ying was unhappy, "They don't agree?"
"What do they disagree with?"
"She must have been very lucky to marry into our family."
Shen Tingci elegantly poured himself a bowl of soup and said in a low voice, "I don't want to burn this incense."
Chen Ying was furious.
Shen Tingyu said hurriedly, "Brother, do you have any other blind dates?"
"Let mom take you to the photo again!"
"You don't want to get married, but I do. Xinyi and I are already 26 years old during the Chinese New Year, and we're looking forward to having a baby!"
Shen Tingci glanced over and Shen Tingyu shut up.
The third child of the Shen family, Shen Tingzhi, is a girl. Shen Tingci is more tolerant of her. At this time, he dared to say, "What a broken rule! If the eldest brother doesn't want to get married, then the second brother can do it!"
"I don't understand why I have to wait for my eldest brother to get married."
"Shut up!"
"What do you know?" Chen Ying scolded her.
Shen Pengfei, the head of the family, was not at home, so Chen Ying scolded Shen Tingzhi. If Shen Pengfei was at home, Shen Tingzhi would shut up with just a look from him.
Shen Pengfei was not at home. After Chen Ying finished scolding, Shen Tingzhi also curled her lips in dissatisfaction, “It’s the truth. It’s just that you are being old-fashioned.”
Chen Ying didn't want to waste time talking to her, so she turned to Shen Tingci and said, "There was someone at the broadcasting station the day before yesterday. Although she's not that pretty, she has a good job and is about your age. How about meeting her?"
Shen Tingci slowly stirred the soup with a spoon, and said calmly, "As you please."
Chen Ying: “…”
She was worried about her son.
Wen Tang told Gu Jinfeng and Chi Yue about Gu Shuhe's blind date with Shen Tingci the next day when he arrived at the factory.
When Gu Jinfeng heard that her sister had met the son of the county party secretary, her mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit in it.
"Oh my goodness, the son of the county party secretary?"
"Did our parents agree?"
Wen Tang shook his head. "It's obvious that the man's mother is a strong-willed person who looks down on others. If Shu He marries him, who knows how she'll look down on others!"
"I don't think this is a good marriage."
"So I felt it was inappropriate, and my parents also thought my family was too high."
Gu Jinfeng bit her popsicle and nodded, "Yes, his family background is higher, but we are not the same kind of people."
Gu Jinfeng and the others felt that they were not the same kind of people.
On the second day after Director Wang came to visit, Shen Tingci asked someone to transfer Gu Shuhe from the supply and marketing cooperative in the town to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county.
The reason given for Gu Shuhe being transferred to the county supply and marketing cooperative was that they were short of people and the salary was higher.
Gu Shuhe didn't think much about it, packed up his things and went home, and told Zhong Meixian and Gu Juyuan about it.
When they heard that their daughter was going to work in the county town, Zhong Meixian and Gu Juyuan didn't think much about it. They just reminded her not to hang out with others when she was out, to go back to her residence after get off work, and to come back when she was on vacation.
Gu Shuhe has always been obedient, and just nodded when he heard this.
On the day Gu Shuhe went to the county town, Gu Juyuan also accompanied her and helped her carry her bedding. The father and daughter went there on a tractor.
The supply and marketing cooperative that Gu Shuhe went to was not far from the county party committee, so the dormitory was also there. When Gu Shuhe and Gu Juyuan were walking towards the dormitory, Shen Tingci was smoking outside the compound and saw the father and daughter walking in the sun with their things on their backs.
Gu Shuhe is really a shy and simple girl.
The simplicity somewhat ruins her beauty.
She is a girl in her twenties working in the county town. It is so hot now and she is wearing the most popular dresses and small leather shoes.
But Gu Shuhe was carrying a package, wearing a round-neck short-sleeved shirt with small blue flowers on a white background, indigo pants, and cloth shoes handmade by Zhong Meixian.
Her long hair that had entered the water was braided into a long braid and hung down at her side.
The way she was dressed was the kind that would make her disappear in a crowd.
But her temperament and appearance are not like that.
She was taller than most girls of her age, and fairer, with a slender figure. Her clothes were ordinary, but they looked good on her.
The white dress with blue flowers looks just like her temperament, light and elegant.
Shen Tingci stood there puffing out smoke, looking at Gu Shuhe who was walking with his father, but Gu Shuhe didn't notice him.
Gu Shuhe and Gu Juyuan, father and daughter, lowered their eyes to identify the road and turned into an intersection.
Wen Tang and the others were far away in Hai City and had no idea what happened to Gu Shuhe at home.
The next day after Wen Tang arrived in Hai City, he went to the factory.
Wen Tang looked around at the apprentices in the factory, and then went to find Zheng Ziyang.
"I promised Commander Zhou that when this factory is established, veterans will be the first priority."
Zheng Ziyang was stunned for a moment, then began to deceive, "This is still the first batch of workers, so it's better to have experienced ones."
Wen Tang was not fooled by him, "Anyone who does this job is a novice!"
Zheng Ziyang began to explain the situation to Wen Tang. "To be honest, this was all arranged by someone I know."
Wen Tang also smiled and said, "I understand, but I promised Commander Zhou before, so you can't make things difficult for me, right?"
