Chapter 4 How many days does it take for you to apply for marriage?
Jiang Zhen wanted to end it quickly, so he went to talk to Captain Gu and decisively ended the blind date with Qi Junhai: "Doctor Qi, our values don't match, so what? You can find someone else to date, and you will definitely find someone suitable."
Qi Junhai didn't expect that someone as outstanding as him could be rejected by Jiang Zhen, who had two burdens with her. He couldn't accept it psychologically.
"Comrade Jiang, you are beautiful enough, and I admit that I was moved for a moment when I saw you, but life should be practical, and your request is too outrageous."
Jiang Zhen thought his request was even more outrageous: "Same, you are even more outrageous in the number of children you have, and the salary arrangement for both of us, you are too calculating, you and I both think the other is outrageous, why don't you leave?"
He was going to leave, but Qi Junhai couldn't help but say, "If my mother hadn't asked me to go on a blind date with you, and you were married for the second time with two children, I'd tell you not to be angry. With my conditions, I really don't like you."
Jiang Zhen was amused by his reaction: "I just told the truth, Doctor Qi, why are you so anxious? I don't fancy you either. I avoid men who only listen to my mother's orders."
Qi Junhai laughed in anger and told Jiang Zhen the truth: "The comrades who can come to the social gathering today have all been screened. They are all single and excellent comrades. There are very few who are married twice. The second-married man who just had a blind date with Captain Gu was deliberately arranged by An Qihui in order to make Captain Gu come back. Do you really think that these unmarried young people today are willing to be stepfathers to two children?"
Jiang Zhen overheard another piece of gossip and thought that Gu Liancheng was next door and Qi Junhai didn't give him any face at all.
She suddenly thought of a possibility: "Doctor Qi, you are very hostile to Captain Gu, and his ex-fiancée is a nurse in your department. You don't seem to be saying this to me, but to Captain Gu next door."
Qi Junhai's secret was exposed, and he angrily said, "I think you and Captain Gu are a perfect match, why don't you two go on a blind date?"
Jiang Zhen was thinking this: "You're wasting time here, how can I have the nerve to come over?"
…
Qi Junhai left the blind date room angrily and ran into his colleague. After the greetings, his colleague asked about his brother with concern: "Which bandit dug out your brother's eyes? Has he been caught?"
Most of Qi Junhai's family's financial support depends on his eldest brother's business. When he came back this time, he found that one of his eldest brother's eyes had been gouged out, and the whole family was heartbroken.
Under such circumstances, he was not in the mood for a blind date at all, but his mother asked him to come and specifically asked him to go on a blind date with Jiang Zhen, saying that Jiang Zhen's horoscope was suitable for the family and could help to dispel the bad luck, so he came reluctantly, but was rejected by Jiang Zhen.
Qi Junhai sighed: "The bandits are too cunning. I don't know which mountain they ran to. We haven't caught them yet."
My colleague was worried: "My mother hasn't been back to her parents' home for two years. Who dares to leave Fancheng until the bandit problem is eradicated?"
Qi Junhai's elder brother was harmed by bandits. He wanted to kill the bandits, but he didn't have the ability to do so, so he blamed the troops stationed there.
"How can the army do its job? The bandits have not been wiped out yet. How can the common people live?"
His colleagues understood his feelings and advised him, "That gang of bandits has grown in size and is very cunning. We don't know where in the mountains they are hiding, but they can definitely be wiped out. This time, more than a dozen people were injured in the army's anti-bandit team. We can't say such disheartening words."
…
Jiang Zai heard Qi Junhai's conversation with someone through the door of the box and suddenly became alert.
The woman whose identity she replaced gouged out the bandit's eyes, Qi Junhai's brother injured his eyes, and then Qi Junhai's mother asked her youngest son to go on a blind date with her.
Putting the two together, I have to think more. Could Brother Qi Junhai be the bandit named "Lao Wu? Wu? Wu?"
At that time, all the bandits had cloth bags on their heads, leaving only holes for their eyes, noses and mouths exposed. But she could recognize them just by looking at their eyes, body shapes and walking posture.
…
Gu Liancheng saw Qi Junhai walking out of the next door angrily, and was worried that if he hesitated any longer, he would miss the blind date with Jiang Zhen, so he made up his mind and walked over.
As long as Jiang Zhen agrees to his bottom line, then everything can be discussed.
…
Qi Junhai's voice could no longer be heard, he must have walked far away. Jiang Zhen was afraid that Gu Liancheng would leave, so she was about to go out when Gu Liancheng knocked on the door and came in, saluted her.
It's too formal. Thinking that this is the money bag that he must conquer, Jiang Zhen's heart and eyes are full of smiles. He looks at Captain Gu carefully. His facial features are deep and his outlines are tough. Jiang Zhen can see the traces of overlapping memories in his black pupils. He has a lot of stories.
Jiang Zhen locked the door and smiled: "Captain Gu, please sit down."
Gu Liancheng was forced to sit down by her initiative. She was like a ferocious animal hunting, using illusions to confuse her prey.
Gu Liancheng felt bad, he had become her prey.
"Comrade Jiang, I was next door just now and was forced to hear the blind date conditions you and Dr. Qi proposed."
Jiang Zhen hurriedly said: "I also heard your conditions. I didn't expect that we have the same conditions. What a coincidence."
Everyone knew what the other party wanted, so it was easy to talk. Gu Liancheng took the risk and asked, "Comrade Jiang, are you willing to join me in raising a child?"
Jiang Zhen was waiting for this sentence. He nodded hurriedly: "Okay, but Captain Gu, I have two hard requirements. If you agree, we can discuss the details."
Gu Liancheng sat upright, his hands under the table pulling at his collar to smooth out the wrinkles. This was the most crucial step, and he hoped that it would not be an unacceptable bottom line for him.
"Please go ahead."
"You said you could take care of all household expenses and give me thirty dollars a month, but in order for you to do half of the housework, I can pay half of the household expenses. This is a must. I can't accept a man who is a hands-off boss and doesn't share the work."
Gu Liancheng thought it was some kind of difficult problem. His parents died early, and his three siblings all knew how to do housework. This was a normal daily routine for him.
"As long as I'm at home, we share the housework, but I'm home less often, so you usually have to work harder."
"That's fine. The last and most important thing is my advice to you in advance. Do not attempt to domestic violence against me and the children. This is for your personal safety. If you dare, I might beat you to death."
Is that it? Gu Liancheng couldn't help laughing: "I would never do anything to my partner or the children, but since you brought it up, I solemnly promise you that such a terrible incident will never happen."
…
Jiang Zhen doesn't have any other big requests, so let's talk about the details.
"My blind date conditions were ridiculed, and people said I couldn't find a willing partner. Although we had a partnership agreement, we had to pretend to be in love in front of outsiders. You have to cooperate in front of others."
Gu Liancheng told himself that as long as it did not involve bottom line issues, he would agree to everything he could. Although he was embarrassed, he still nodded.
"You must cooperate. If you really can't cooperate, I won't stop you from doing it even if I don't say anything."
Jiang Zhen chuckled. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him. He really wanted to tell him that his ex-fiancee insisted on breaking off the engagement, not because he was a bad person, but because his ex-fiancee had too many memories from the time before and was afraid and didn't dare to be with him.
Gu Liancheng was flustered by her laughter: "Is there anything else that needs to be negotiated?"
With a man like this, there is no need to discuss details. As long as you don't cross his bottom line, he will agree to anything you ask.
"Captain Gu, let's make a bet." Jiang Zhen said.
"It's better not to." Gu Liancheng didn't even ask, and directly dissuaded: "Anything related to the word gambling can easily drive people crazy. If you have something to say, tell us and we can discuss it. There is no need to bet."
Jiang Zhen teased him, "You said you don't want to have children for ten years, but I bet you'll break the rule in three months."
Gu Liancheng: … He sat upright and said in a serious tone, “Comrade Jiang, I will never touch you, unless you insist on crossing the line.”
Jiang Zhen chuckled and said stubbornly, "Then wait for three months and see what happens."
Gu Liancheng then thought that what he said just now was too hurtful to the girl: "Comrade Jiang, what I mean is that after getting to know each other for a long time, you will find that I am really boring."
Jiang Zhen thought he was quite interesting, and the days of raising a child together would not be boring.
"How many days will it take for you to apply for marriage?" Jiang Zhen asked.
"Within a week, if nothing unexpected happens."
That was quite fast. As they were talking, the door of the blind date room was smashed and couldn't be stopped. Because it was locked from the inside, the people outside couldn't open it. They shouted anxiously: "Gu Liancheng, are you in there? Don't deny it. Someone saw us. Come out."
…
An Qihui was trying to persuade her sister not to give up on such an excellent marriage partner as Gu Liancheng, but An Xiuqing refused to listen. When An Qihui was at her wit's end, she heard that Jiang Zhen, a temporary pediatric nurse, was taken to the blind date market by Gu Jiaoxia.
An Qihui was anxious and rushed down from upstairs immediately, but Gu Liancheng had already fallen in love with Jiang Zhen. How could this be tolerated?
She smashed the door open and observed quickly. Fortunately, the expressions of the two people did not look like they were compatible. She stopped Jiang Zhen and said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Xiao Jiang, our Liancheng doesn't go on blind dates. I'm sorry to have wasted your time."
Jiang Zhen was puzzled: "Don't apologize, I just asked clearly, he went on a blind date, head nurse An, you got the marriage certificate with my ex-husband first, why do you still say that Gu Liancheng is yours?"
An Qihui didn't care about her face and asked Jiang Zhen: "Yan Jiawen chose me instead of you, so you stayed and went on a blind date with my sister's fiancé to get revenge on me?"
Jiang Zhen was speechless: "It's fine if you think so."
An Qihui sneered: "Gu Liancheng would never want a dissolute woman like you."
Jiang Zhen laughed out loud: "You are not a playboy, so why do you want to steal Jiang Tang's father and marry into his family?"
An Qihui couldn't win the argument with Jiang Zhen, so she pointed at her and asked Gu Liancheng, "Did you hear that? You are my sister's fiancé. She came to have a blind date with you just to piss off Yan Jiawen and me."
Gu Liancheng said: "I don't mind this identity. Sister An, if you mind, you can divorce Dr. Yan."
…
Gu Liancheng said that he would handle the matter of the An family himself and Jiang Zhen didn't need to worry about it.
Her eyes moved, and she dragged out a numbing ending tone, and promised Gu Liancheng: "Captain Gu, think carefully about whether I am the most suitable person for you. I will wait for you."
Gu Liancheng: ...If she had used this attitude from the beginning when going on blind dates, the men she was dating would have lost their minds and would have agreed to any conditions. It’s not his turn to go on a blind date.
