Chapter 164 Auntie Brings Winter Melon
He Cuicui cracked a melon seed and whispered embarrassedly.
"It's okay. I did as you told me. I think that person is okay."
Lin Xiaotong scooped a spoonful of honey into the cup and stirred it a few times. She took a small sip and found it sweet. She squinted her eyes happily.
I casually asked, "How good is it?"
This one sentence made He Cuicui blush.
"He's in decent condition, and his family is simple, just him and one elder."
Sister Mei chimed in: "It's true that a girl would have fewer things to worry about if she married in, but what about him? What kind of job does he have?"
"He works at the post office and lives in the suburbs. His workplace is currently queuing up for housing."
Yan Yue then asked, "So what does he look like?"
"He looks okay. I think he's a cultured person. He speaks very coherently and his emotions are pretty stable."
He Cuicui's ears turned red when she recalled the scene of that day.
Lin Xiaotong touched her chin and said, "This guy's conditions sound good. Did he ask about yours?"
"I haven't asked yet. My aunt asked an acquaintance to act as an intermediary to find this person. I guess my situation is already clear."
"But Ayu also mentioned their family..."
"Wait a minute, what was that boy's name?"
Lin Xiaotong had just taken a sip of honey water when she suddenly heard this familiar name. She was so startled that she almost bit her tongue.
He Cuicui looked at her: "Ayu, what's wrong?"
Yan Yue said: "Do you know Xiaotong?"
Lin Xiaotong looked incredulous: "Is that boy from Jiangcheng, has an aunt at home, and is he a temporary worker at the post office?"
He Cuicui's head was buzzing, as if it was hit by a hammer.
With a sad face, he said, "He didn't tell me he was a temporary worker, but he said his old man's hometown is Jiangcheng. Do you know him?"
I thought to myself: No way, she has run into trouble again. Why is she so unlucky?
"I know a boy, also named Ayu, who was the ex-boyfriend of the sister-in-law of my aunt's daughter in the compound."
This complicated relationship made He Cuicui even more confused.
Lin Xiaotong said seriously, "Didn't I tell you about the two people I met on the train to Yangcheng? It was that boy."
"That boy's name is Ayu. He doesn't have only one aunt in his family. He was adopted. He's the only one in his family in Jiangcheng who went to school in the city."
"He's currently working as a temporary worker at the post office. His ex-girlfriend's family is also well-off, and they targeted him because he often went to the post office to pick up packages."
I heard this from Aunt Afen. Xiao Xue and the other person had completely broken up, and it was Xiao Xue herself who told me the original reason for their conflict.
Sister Mei pondered and said, "Could it be that they have the same name?"
Lin Xiaotong looked at He Cuicui's doubtful expression, thought for a moment and then said, "It's possible, but what if?"
She really thinks that if many coincidences come together, they are no longer coincidences.
Yan Yue also shook her head: "If that's true, then this man is really evil. Apart from anything else, he's really good at pretending. I'm afraid he'll end up getting himself into trouble."
This person talks in a lot of different ways. If someone is really broad-minded, he would probably not ask about it anymore and would only make things clear after they get married.
Lin Xiaotong wiped her hands and said, "Hey, after you went back, did you ask your aunt to find out about that boy's family situation?"
He Cuicui's face wrinkled. "My aunt said that the man was introduced by her old classmate. His character is acceptable. I haven't asked anyone about him yet."
"When you go back, ask your aunt to investigate carefully and confirm whether it is fake or not."
"I think it's probably true. People like this are really despicable. They just cheat on girls."
She had already given up hope. If she hadn't let something slip while talking today and Lin Xiaotong hadn't noticed it, given her personality, she would probably have fallen into it again.
I was so scared in broad daylight that I broke out in a cold sweat and quickly drank some hot water to warm myself up.
Sister Mei is well-informed: "There are quite a few men like this. Many well-off girls have been spoiled since childhood and may not have seen men's little tricks. They accidentally fall for them."
"How could these parents win over their child? In the end, they gave their daughter away and even lost their family fortune."
"But girls from poor backgrounds are also easily targeted. I even heard of a boy who gave a girl from the same village an apricot and they fell in love."
"For something as important as marriage, you have to be extremely careful and cautious. It's also a good idea to inquire from various sources to avoid making mistakes that are too late to undo."
He Cuicui hugged Lin Xiaotong's waist sadly and burst into tears.
She cried and wailed, "I'm so unlucky. When will this end? Woo woo woo, it's really hard for me."
Lin Xiaotong could only comfort him kindly: "Hey, you have to be more open-minded. You two have just met and are just blind dates. What if it's not the same person?"
…
When Lin Xiaotong came back for dinner, she saw Hu Tou and Song Chenlie standing at the door of the third uncle's house and looking to the left.
"What are you doing?"
Why is he like a mouse seeing a cat in broad daylight? I looked to the left at Jin Qiaofeng's house, but I didn't see anything different.
Hu Tou came over and whispered in her ear: "Sister Tong, there are people coming to our compound again."
"The middle room?"
Hu Tou nodded, and Song Chenlie also nodded, his little face very serious.
"Who's coming?"
Tiger head and little face said seriously: "An aunt brings a winter melon."
"What? Winter melon!"
At first she really thought that someone came to live here with edible winter melon, and thought that this person was a real person.
Then I thought: That’s not right. With current technology, it is difficult to eat winter melon in spring without vegetable greenhouses.
Song Chenlie couldn't hold it in any longer: "No, no, Donggua is a person."
Hu Tou continued mumbling, "Yes, yes, it was a chubby auntie who came with her son. I heard her call her son Winter Melon. My grandma said that Winter Melon was her son."
The three of them were chatting when they saw someone push the door of the middle room and come out.
Looking closely, I saw that the man was tall and strong, with a smile on his face.
Jin Qiaofeng happened to be out, and the two of them bumped into each other, staring at each other.
Before Jin Qiaofeng could react, the fat woman nimbly wrapped her arms around her.
"Oh, you are the matchmaker in this area. I have something to ask you, you see..."
Someone stuffed a coin into Jin Qiaofeng's hand and she immediately understood.
"Come in and tell me, you're so reserved when you need something from me, come in quickly."
The three people on the right watched helplessly as the two went from strangers to close sisters in a second.
Soon, a loud voice came: "Tiger head, Tiger head, come home for dinner."
"Grandma, I'm coming."
When Hu Tou heard his grandmother's call, he quickly ran back to eat.
Lin Xiaotong also went back to eat, and Song Chenlie also went back to the house to wait for his third grandfather.
…
At the dinner table at Old Xie’s house.
"Mom, is there someone moving into our compound today?"
"That's right. Two people moved in at ten o'clock this morning. Do you know the name of that woman?"
Of course Lin Xiaotong couldn't guess and shook her head.
