D City, Qin Province.

In a residential area, a couple in their sixties were arguing.

The woman pointed at the man's nose and cursed: "What's the use of being a father like you? You are the leader of the Education Bureau, but you let your son go to work in that remote place. Now he is over 30 years old and still hasn't married. Aren't you ashamed?"

When this matter was mentioned, the man's anger rushed to his head, and he said, "How dare you mention this? Why is your son still not married at the age of thirty? Don't you have any idea?

I warned you back then not to interfere in our son's relationship issues without permission, but you didn't listen. You secretly met the girl without telling me and forced her away.

If you hadn't meddled in my affairs, my grandson would probably be in middle school by then."

"Can you blame me for this?"

The woman said angrily: "If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the woman's poor family background. If my son marries her, he will have to bear a heavy burden. Don't you know?"

The man sneered and said, "You are really short-sighted. Even if there is a burden, it is only temporary. Life will get better in a few years.

But you are so self-righteous that you force the girl away as a mother. Don’t you think about your son’s character? If he chooses not to get married for the rest of his life, then you will be the sinner of my Li family.”

When the woman heard this, she felt as if her neck was strangled and she was speechless for a moment. The man's words really hit the nail on the head for her.

At that time, she only wanted to drive the woman away and prevent her from dragging down her son. At that time, she really didn't expect that her son would have such a stubborn character.

Ever since she successfully drove that woman away, her son locked his heart and remained indifferent no matter how many candidates she introduced to him.

In the blink of an eye, the son is already 36 years old. It is impossible for the woman to say that she is not anxious.

Moreover, after that incident, her son's attitude towards her changed. He even took the initiative to apply for a transfer to a remote place to work just to stay away from her.

More than ten years have passed, and it is impossible to say that the woman has no regrets in her heart.

If she could do it again, she still would not agree to her son marrying that woman, but she would never force her son to leave again. Instead, she would find other ways to break them up.

Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now.

The woman put away her anger and said with an unpleasant expression: "It's useless for you to say these words now. Anyway, he won't listen to anything I say now. He can listen to your words a little more. You should try to persuade him. You can't really be single for the rest of his life just to make a bet with me, right?"

The man also felt a headache when he thought of his stubborn son.

At this moment, the man's cell phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and took a look. He found that it was an unfamiliar number from Guangxi Province. Thinking it was a harassing call, he hung up the phone directly.

Soon, the phone rang again. The man saw that it was the same strange number calling, so he knew it was not a harassing call.

So, instead of hanging up the phone, he chose to answer it.

"Hello, hello!"

"Hello, is this Director Li?"

"I'm Li Changyi. May I ask who you are? What can I do for you?"

"My name is Jiang Feng, and I'm a matchmaker from the Happy Marriage Agency. I'm taking the liberty of calling you, Director Li, mainly because I want to talk to you about your son's marriage."

Li Changyi couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise when he heard this. He turned on the speakerphone of his phone and said, "Matchmaker Jiang, right? Do you want to introduce a date to my son?"

Liu Fang was cheered up after hearing this. What she was most concerned about now was her son's lifelong affairs.

Jiang Feng said: "Yes, I have a nice girl here and I want to introduce her to your son. I wonder if your son has any plans to get married?"

Li Changyi said quickly: "Of course my son has plans to get married. Matchmaker Jiang, can you tell me about this girl?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Of course, Director Li, maybe you know this girl!"

Li Changyi was surprised and asked, "Is she someone I know? What's her name?"

Jiang Feng said, "Her name is Su Xueru, and she is from X County in your D City. I wonder if you, Director Li, still remember this name?"

Li Changyi blurted out, "Su Xueru, is she the classmate who got into Huaqing University with the highest score in the city?"

Jiang Feng said: "It seems that Director Li, you still remember this classmate Su Xueru!"

Li Changyi said excitedly: "Of course I remember such an outstanding student. The education level of our D City is much lower than those of our sister cities. Su Xueru's college entrance examination results that year brought honor to our D City."

Hearing this, Liu Fang's eyes lit up.

A girl who can be admitted to a top domestic university generally has a good future. Even if her family background is ordinary, she is worthy of her son.

After his excitement, Li Changyi remembered the female student who had ranked first in the city in the college entrance examination. She seemed very short, and his enthusiasm cooled down.

Jiang Feng naturally didn't know about the couple's psychological changes. He continued, "After Su Xueru graduated from university, she didn't go out to work, but chose to continue her studies. She spent several years and finally got a doctorate degree from Huaqing University.

After he started working, due to his high education and strong working ability, he became a department manager of a listed company in less than two years, with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, which can be said to have a bright future. "

A PhD from Huaqing University?

At this moment, Liu Fang was extremely satisfied with the person introduced by matchmaker Jiang. If the person her son was dating was so outstanding, she would not have personally stepped in to chase him away.

Li Changyi was also shocked when he heard this. Although they both graduated from Huaqing University, a bachelor's degree and a doctorate degree are completely different concepts.

If only she could be taller!

Thinking of this, Li Changyi couldn't help but sigh and said, "Matchmaker Jiang, if I'm speaking from a professional perspective, then Su Xueru is indeed impeccably excellent. But if I'm speaking from a parent's perspective, I have to mention Su Xueru's height, a shortcoming that cannot be concealed."

Jiang Feng agreed and said, "Director Li is right. Dr. Su has many advantages, but her height disadvantage cannot be ignored."

Liu Fang didn't know Su Xueru, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but look at Li Changyi.

Li Changyi said, "I only remember that classmate Su was quite short, but I don't know her exact height. Matchmaker Jiang, you should know, right?"

Jiang Feng said, "To be honest with you, Director Li, Dr. Su is only 1.43 meters tall. The reason why she has been single until now is indeed because of her height. Otherwise, with her excellent conditions, the men who want to marry her can at least form a reinforced company."

Liu Fang's eyes almost popped out when she heard that. How satisfied she was just now, how disappointed she was now. With a height of only 1.43 meters, she would never allow her son to marry her.

Li Changyi said with some embarrassment: "Matchmaker Jiang, thank you very much for introducing my son to a girl. Miss Su is indeed very good, but her height is something that we as parents cannot accept. This is not a question of my son's marriage, but a matter that will affect countless generations."

Jiang Feng said, "Director Li, I understand what you mean. You are afraid that your offspring will inherit Dr. Su's short stature genes. This is something that most parents are unwilling to accept."

Li Changyi said: "Matchmaker Jiang, it's good that you understand."

Jiang Feng said: "Director Li, I understand your concerns, but when it comes to the topic of heredity, it is said that a child's intelligence is mostly inherited from the mother, and as a doctor from Huaqing University, Su Xueru's intelligence is undoubtedly higher than most people.

As for height, the probability of inheritance from parents is 50/50. If the child inherits the gene for height from the father, then the mother's height will have no effect on the child. "

Li Changyi smiled bitterly and said, "That's true, but intelligence inheritance is not very obvious, but height inheritance is too obvious. Unless it's a last resort, no one is willing to gamble with their own descendants on this 50% chance!"

Jiang Feng glanced at the matching information and said with a smile: "Director Li, if I can guarantee that their future child will inherit his father's height, then this marriage can be discussed, right?"

Li Changyi shook his head and said helplessly: "Matchmaker Jiang, please stop joking. How can you guarantee something so unknown?"

Jiang Feng smiled confidently and said, "I can certainly do this, and I promise to make you believe it, Director Li. I want to know now, if we don't have to consider the issue of genetics, is this marriage still possible?"

When this question was asked, both Li Changyi and Liu Fang fell silent.

Su Xueru's strengths and weaknesses are too obvious, and they are also weighing the pros and cons in their hearts.

After a while, Li Changyi said ambiguously: "If the issue of height inheritance is not a consideration, then in principle I have no objection to this marriage. However, it is my son who is getting married, so my attitude is not important. What matters is that she is liked by my son."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "This must depend on the person involved being happy with it. If Director Li and your wife have no objection, then I will contact your son directly."

"Okay, then you can contact him!"

"Well, then I won't bother Director Li. Goodbye."

"goodbye."

After Li Changyi hung up the phone, Liu Fang couldn't help but ask, "Why did you agree to this?"

Li Changyi glanced at her and asked instead of answering, "Why can't you agree to it?"

Liu Fang frowned and said, "She is only 1.43 meters tall. If she were to enter our Li family, wouldn't her relatives and friends laugh at her to death?"

Li Changyi also had this concern, but he couldn't help but retort: ​​"If she didn't have the defect of height, do you think our son would be able to marry a doctor from Huaqing University based on his conditions? That's simply impossible, okay?

Besides, ever since you forcibly separated your son from his first love, he has not had a girlfriend for all these years, and it seems that he is going to be single for the rest of his life.

With his stubborn character, aren't you afraid that he will end up alone?"

When talking about this, Liu Fang became discouraged. She only has this one son. If he really gets angry and never gets married, then all will be ruined.

Li Changyi added dimly, "Compared to being a bachelor for life, I would rather he marry a short woman. At least our Li family's household registration booklet has a chance to be passed down."

Liu Fang: “…”

…

In a primary school in a remote mountain area, the principal, Li Weiqiang, is correcting homework.

Li Weiqiang was originally a teacher at a key primary school in D City, but ever since his mother took his first love away without his consent, he was angry and sad so he left D City and ran to this remote mountain place to teach.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

At the beginning, Li Weiqiang did come to this remote area to teach just to spite his parents, but after settling down here, he gradually fell in love with this place.

Just as he finished correcting the homework, his cell phone on the table rang. Although this place was remote, it was not so remote that the Internet was disconnected.

Li Weiqiang picked up the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number from Guangxi Province. Although he guessed that it was probably a harassment call, he still chose to answer it.

Anyway, answering calls now doesn’t cost any money like before.

"Hello, how are you!" Li Weiqiang greeted.

"Hello, is this Principal Li?" a young male voice came over.

"I'm Li Weiqiang. May I ask who you are?" Li Weiqiang asked.

"My name is Jiang Feng, and I'm a matchmaker from the Happy Marriage Agency. I'm taking the liberty of calling you, Principal Li, to introduce you to an excellent match. I wonder if I can spare you a few minutes of your time?"

"Matchmaker Jiang, thank you for your kindness, but I don't have any intention of going on a blind date for the time being."

"Principal Li, I know you don't have the idea of ​​going on a blind date right now, but fate is a very magical thing. Maybe after listening to the person I introduced to you, you have the idea of ​​going on a blind date? Anyway, it will only take up a few minutes of your time."

Li Weiqiang couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, then you talk and I'll listen."

Jiang Feng immediately introduced: "She is 33 years old this year, from your D city, born in a poor family, diligent and studious since childhood, with her own efforts, she was admitted to Huaqing University with the first place in the city, and then studied all the way to graduate with a doctorate, and is currently a department manager in a listed company with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands.

Unfortunately, despite her outstanding talent, she is only 1.43 meters tall and not very good-looking, which puts her in an awkward position of being neither high nor low.

I know that you, Principal Li, are not the type of person who focuses on outer beauty. You prefer inner beauty. I think this female doctor should meet your requirements. I wonder if you are willing to try a blind date with her?"

Li Weiqiang was a little surprised when he heard this. The person introduced by the matchmaker was really special. Both his strengths and weaknesses were very prominent.

Originally, he really had no plans for a blind date, but after hearing the other party's information, he had a special feeling, as if he would miss something if he didn't meet her.

"Okay, let's give it a try. Then I'll trouble Matchmaker Jiang to arrange it!"
