Chapter 241 I Can’t Marry Just Anyone
Chi Xing howled at the top of his lungs.
Chi Wenhai was smoking a pipe and sighing.
Song Dayan had a gloomy face and said nothing.
The two boys of the Chi family would go out early in the morning unless it rained, and would not come back until their family called them at dinner time.
So I'm not at home right now.
When Chi Xing's voice became quiet, Chi Wenhai said, "No, just the ones from before the New Year, the one with the surname Sun, he has many brothers and a wealthy family, I think he is suitable."
Song Dayan looked at Chi Xing.
Chi Xing was unhappy and said, "No, he came to our house to see me, and the shoes on his feet were all patched up. How much money can he have?"
Chi Wenhai puffed on his cigarette and said, "There are many sons in the family, so we have to save money on finding daughters-in-law. It's always like this."
"As long as you give you what you deserve, that's all!"
"How many cents can you give me?" Chi Xing asked crying.
Chi Wenhai said, "Your sister didn't have much money at that time, and the betrothal gift was only 100 yuan."
"I hope you will also ask for so much betrothal gift when the time comes!"
Chi Xing was immediately unhappy, "Why?"
Chi Wenhai was puzzled. "What's the basis for this?"
"She gave me one hundred, so I should get one hundred?" Chi Xing shouted to clear up the confusion for him.
Chi Wenhai "..."
"Everyone around you is in this situation, so don't you still have to live your married life on your own?"
"I don't care. I want to marry someone with a stable job and a stable food supply."
Chi Wenhai only had one word to say after hearing this: "Crazy!"
Then ignore her again.
Song Dayan pulled her up, with a look of heartache on his face. "Why are you crying?"
"He's not the only one with a stable job. Just keep looking."
"It's a big holiday, don't cry like your parents have died."
With Song Dayan helping her, Chi Xing wiped away her tears and said, "I can't just marry anyone."
"I know, I know. Hurry up and wash up. I'm going to cook."
Chi Yue and the others were unaware of the incident that had occurred in the Chi family.
The Gu family is only as lively as the Gu family.
Fried peanuts, fried meatballs, fried glutinous rice balls, and making dumplings, the yard is filled with fresh and fragrant aromas.
Wen Tang and Chi Yue were waiting at the kitchen door, waiting to eat whatever was out of the pot.
In the afternoon, Wu Guifang came to propose marriage to Gu Shuhe. Wen Tang and the others grabbed fried peanuts and listened attentively.
Wu Guifang said that the boy was a distant relative of hers, who worked at a grain station and was two years older than Gu Shuhe. There were five siblings in his family, and the boy all had formal jobs, so he wouldn't have to suffer if he married into the family.
When Zhong Meixian heard that there was a formal job, she agreed.
Wu Guifang asked, "Then I'll bring him in tomorrow?"
Zhong Meixian nodded and said, "Yes, I'll trouble her sister-in-law."
"Oh, no trouble, we are all family."
"Then I'll go back, aunt."
"Please sit down for a while!"
"I won't sit down anymore. I still have work to do at home!" Wu Guifang said as she stood up.
Zhong Meixian grabbed a handful of fried peanuts and passed them out.
Then the two of them stood at the gate of the courtyard and talked about something unknown. They kept talking until it was almost dark, and then Zhong Meixian came in.
Wen Tang asked curiously, "Mom, is Sister Guifang gone?"
"Well, he left. He said he had something to do at home and couldn't sit."
Wen Tang: "..."
666～
I couldn't sit down, but I stood and talked for a long time.
At the dinner table tonight, it was inevitable to talk about Gu Shuhe's blind date tomorrow.
Gu Juyuan was also satisfied when he knew that the other party worked at the grain station.
"It's good to have a formal job and not have to worry about it in the future."
"Let's just settle on one that's almost there!"
Gu Shuhe lowered her head and said nothing. She had never been on a blind date before and was somewhat resistant to the idea.
Take small bites of the glutinous rice balls.
Wen Tang came to her rescue and said, "She has to be good-looking and have a good personality. Our Shu He is so good-looking, we can't let her waste her time."
Gu Jinfeng burst out laughing, "If she's really ugly, I really can't agree to it."
Zhong Meixian said, "I asked, and Guifang said she wasn't ugly."
"Boys have good-looking parents."
But Wen Tang is very skeptical about people's current aesthetic taste.
The main reason is that people nowadays don’t have such high requirements for appearance, and they value work and character more.
If a person can endure hardships and have a clean family background, that is more important than being handsome.
But Wen Tang thinks that being handsome is also very important.
Although you can’t eat or drink if you look handsome, you may really not be able to eat if you look ugly.
The next day, they met at Wu Guifang's home.
Zhong Meixian and Gu Jinfeng led people there, and Wen Tang and Chi Yue also ran to watch the fun.
Lin Jiaojiao stayed at home to take care of the children.
After Wen Tang and Chi Yue arrived at Wu Guifang's house, they hid in the kitchen.
Otherwise, if there are too many women, people will say you are not serious.
Zhong Meixian and Gu Jinfeng took Gu Shuhe to sit in the main room.
They waited for about half an hour and the man came.
One of the women is obviously the boy's biological mother. The two of them look like they were poured from the same mold. Even the big mole on her chin is exactly the same as his mother's, in the same position and size.
Wen Tang spat out the melon seed shell and said, "These must be real mother and son."
The other woman was about the same age as the boy’s mother, probably an aunt or something like that.
The three of them came over on two bicycles.
Wen Tang said, "It seems that his family is indeed well-off, and he rides two bicycles!"
Moreover, they brought some things to Wu Guifang's house, including brown sugar and canned food.
In this day and age, people without money would be reluctant to bring canned food when visiting relatives.
What's more, they are not visiting relatives in a formal way!
Of course, riding two bicycles is also a sign of financial strength.
Bicycles are also expensive.
"The other one might be borrowed," Chi Yue said.
The two of them, heads stacked together, were whispering comments through the crack in the door.
As soon as people arrived, Wu Guifang and Xu Zhongguo came out to greet them, but Zhong Meixian and the others did not come out.
They are the women who come for blind dates, so they have to sit tight at this time, otherwise they will lose face.
Wu Guifang led the people into the house, and Wen Tang couldn't help but cricket, "I guess Shuhe doesn't like it."
Chi Yue nodded.
"Well, he's not ugly, nor short, but that's it..."
Chi Yue finished what Wen Tang hadn't finished saying, "She's not ugly, she just has regular facial features. If I have to add, it's thick eyebrows and big eyes."
"Not short, just a little taller than Shuhe, but not as tall as grandpa."
"I think Shuhe can still be picked more."
"I think so, too."
Wu Guifang had already led people into the main room.
As soon as they entered the house, they greeted each other.
Just as Wen Tang thought, people of this generation don’t have high requirements for appearance, especially Zhong Meixian’s generation.
They don't have high requirements for appearance. They all came from the famine era, and the most important requirement for marriage is to have enough food to eat.
She is not ugly, has no physical defects, has a formal job, and the boy is also very polite.
As soon as he entered the room, he called people with a smile after being introduced by Wu Guifang.
Auntie, it’s more intimate to call you sister.
His eyes never left Gu Shuhe's face, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with Gu Shuhe.
Not only was he satisfied, but his mother was also satisfied. Whether she was standing or sitting, she would always glance at Gu Shuhe.
