Chapter 306: My mother can’t stand people being single
Electrical appliances of this period were mainly imported and very expensive. Although it only had two doors, it was considered a luxury item like a large color TV.
Dai Qing wiped the refrigerator inside and out, plugged it in, left it vacant for a while, and then stuffed all the purchased vegetables into it.
After working for most of the day, Dai Qing sat on the sofa and looked at the room she had decorated. She had purchased all the big items, but as for the small things, she would just have to take her time and buy what she needed. It wasn't a big deal.
Busy times always pass quickly. For dinner, Dai Qing simply made some fried noodles. After eating, she washed up and went to bed.
The next morning, Dai Qing continued to go shopping in the market, buying some small things, such as tablecloths and toiletries. When passing by a tobacco shop, she stopped. She had to entertain guests and had to have drinks, so she went in and bought two bottles of wine.
She was ready to adapt to the local customs. After all, those people were elegant and liked to drink foreign wine. She didn't know much about foreign wine, but it was okay for her to buy two bottles of wine.
After sorting out all the daily necessities, Dai Qing looked at the tidy kitchen and was finally satisfied.
Everything is ready, we can start cooking as soon as the customers come.
Sitting at the small square table in the corridor, looking at the clean and tidy yard, Dai Qing was thinking about how to renovate it.
The space at the southwest corner of the entrance is empty, so you can plant a pomegranate tree.
Just as she was holding a ruler and preparing to plan the size, there was a knock on the door.
Dai Qing opened the door and looked at several aunts and uncles, led by Aunt Zhao, who appeared at the door. She was a little confused for a moment.
"Xiao Qing, I came to see you. These are our neighbors in the alley, your Aunt Jin, Aunt Wang, and Aunt Cui. We all live nearby, so if you need anything, just give them a call."
Dai Qing greeted everyone one by one, inviting them in for tea and chat.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhao, for your enthusiastic introduction of all the neighbors. If you need anything in the future, I will be more than welcome."
"It's all as it should be. We will be neighbors from now on, and we will become old neighbors after being together for a long time. Only by helping each other can we be harmonious as neighbors."
Several people looked around the yard and couldn't help but smack their lips.
"Your yard is really tidy. It's different when someone lives there or not."
"Not really. Ever since the old Xun family went abroad, only Old Xun was left to guard the yard. He usually doesn't even light a fire. The whole yard is just him, and it always feels empty."
When they arrived at the living room and looked at the wooden furniture in the house, several people looked at each other and looked at Dai Qing in shock.
"Oh my, the furniture is all ready. It looks really nice. Young people have their own ideas. Isn't this furniture expensive?"
Their courtyard house was occupied by five or six families, and the chicken-foot-sized space in the courtyard was occupied by sheds. The aisle in the courtyard was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
Even so, if there are many people in the family, they still have to put up bunk beds. Not to mention the furniture, even the dining table has to be foldable.
I don't know where this girl comes from. Such a big yard is very spacious for just one family to live in.
Aunt Jin touched the armrest of the sofa and looked at Dai Qing with a smile.
"These past few days I've seen you going in and out alone, busy and bustling. What do your parents do for a living? Why didn't they come over to help clean up?"
"Yeah, moving is such a big deal, why don't the elders show up? How tiring it must be to do it alone?"
Listening to the inquiring tone of the crowd, Dai Qing looked at them gently. Before she could answer, Aunt Zhao chuckled.
"You guys are just worrying about nothing. Although Xiaoqing looks fair and tender, quiet and well-behaved, she is a good hand at housework. She cleans the yard inside and outside by herself. She is very capable."
"Their families must know that she is very capable, so they are willing to hand the responsibility over to her."
Listening to Aunt Zhao's explanation, several people nodded.
"That's right. Look at how neat and tidy she has made the yard. She is really capable. By the way, Xiaoqing, how old are you this year? Do you have a boyfriend?"
Dai Qing's eyebrows jumped when she heard this. Coming again?
Aunt Cui looked at her stunned expression and thought she was embarrassed, so she slapped her thigh and laughed.
"You look so naive, you just don't have a date yet. Don't worry, with us here, you will definitely stay single."
Dai Qing: “…”
Thank you so much, you don't have to worry about me.
"Aunt Cui, please don't scare me. I'm still young and don't have the idea of dating."
"Hey, it's nothing. It's all about luck. If you meet someone you like, everything will fall into place naturally without anyone urging you."
"That's true. If you meet someone in advance, you can always meet the best one."
Dai Qing curled the corner of her mouth. Facing a group of enthusiastic aunts and mothers, she was a little overwhelmed.
Aunt Zhao looked at Dai Qing's stiff face and glared at a few people.
"You guys are just worrying about nothing. With Xiaoqing's conditions, how could she be short of a partner? She doesn't want to find one right now. She must want to improve herself first."
"Young people today are very different from us. Those whose marriages were arranged by their parents or who married blindly are now advanced youth of the new era. We have long fallen behind the times."
"What his mother Zhao said is true, but girls have to get married sooner or later, just like casting a net to catch fish, pick the best one and talk to him first."
"Everyone has different ideas, so don't be blind. We came here today just to say hello to Xiaoqing and get to know her, not to ask you to act as a matchmaker."
Aunt Zhao held a cup of tea and watched Dai Qing sitting calmly beside her, listening to their conversation quietly.
She has a quiet and well-behaved attitude, which makes people like her just by looking at her.
At such a young age, he is so emotionally stable. He is definitely not an ordinary person.
Among them, the most eloquent aunt in Zaoshu Hutong, although this girl doesn't talk much and just sits quietly, she seems to be in control of the overall situation.
No matter how they suggested, they couldn't change her mind. No wonder she dared to manage real estate by herself, she was indeed not an ordinary girl.
Listening to the chattering of several people, especially Aunt Zhao's inquiring eyes, Dai Qing didn't care and just listened gently.
The more this happened, the more eagerly they looked at her.
It's such a pity that a girl with such good conditions is still single.
Given that she has such a spacious house, I must find a good partner for her.
After thinking about it, it was the first time for us to meet each other, so we shouldn’t be too excessive. We chatted for a few words, had a cup of tea and then left.
Dai Qing escorted the man out the door, then curled her lips speechlessly.
Sure enough, mothers all over the country are the same. When they see young men and women having the same problem, they want to match them all up.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, there was another knock on the door.
Dai Qing was surprised to see Xing Zhou standing at the door with a bag of things in his hand.
"Why are you here at this hour, you busy man?"
