Jiang Mengxue gave a thumbs up and said, "Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are really good. The smell is especially delicious, and it tastes even better. The more you chew, the more delicious it becomes."
An Xin is usually a very calm, even emotionally stable person. At this moment, she was praised by Jiang Mengxue and she was in a rare mood.
"If you like it, I'll make it for you next time. It's perfect to eat with porridge in the morning, and it's not too salty."
Gu Liuliu, however, kept her eyes on the wool and sweater on Jiang Mengxue's legs.
"Aunt, look at the color of this sweater you knitted. Is it for my uncle? It looks so big."
Jiang Mengxue unfolded the sweater and took a look. It was already half knitted. She specially made it wide and large so that when she wore a thicker base layer inside, it would not be too tight and uncomfortable.
"Yes, I happened to have nothing to do these past few days, so I took it out and started knitting it. He left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to finish it. I'll send it to him later."
"Aunt, you and my uncle have such a good relationship. I wish I could meet someone who treats me so well in the future."
The little girl is so annoyed by her mother's urging her to go on blind dates recently. She doesn't necessarily require the partner to be very good-looking, but at least he has to be decent-looking, right?
Every time her mother said that the boy was very handsome, but after she met him in person, she found that her vision was very different from her mother's.
She wasn't saying that the other person wasn't good-looking, but that he wasn't her type.
She also wanted to find someone taller. After all, no one in the Gu family was short. As a girl, she was almost 1.7 meters tall, so the man should at least be taller than her. However, most of the men introduced to her by the matchmaker were short and stocky.
Do you understand the word "stocky"? To put it simply, it means being stout. To put it bluntly, it means being a little fat, with a big belly.
As a girl, you definitely want your partner to be a little more perfect. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to go out with your girlfriends and find out that your partner is not that good-looking.
"Why do you have to be nice to others, but not to them? Everything has to be reciprocated. If you want others to treat you a certain way, think about how you treat them first."
An Xin couldn't stand her daughter always finding fault with others. When two people get married and live together, they should accept each other's strengths and weaknesses.
But we can't always ignore other people's strengths and find fault with them.
"Mom, how could I? You won't let me tell the truth." Gu Liuliu turned her head away, not wanting to talk to her mother.
An Xin didn't want to talk about her family affairs in front of others, so she ignored her.
"Sister-in-law, has someone introduced Liu Liu to someone else? What's the matter, Liu Liu? Are you not satisfied?"
Gu Liuliu and Gu Huaicai both work in the garment factory, but Gu Huaicai works in the garment-making workshop and Gu Liuliu works in the quality inspection workshop. It is difficult to see each other unless they specifically want to meet.
What's more, Gu Huaicai was feeling very uncomfortable during her pregnancy. She even went to the cafeteria less often to eat. Whenever time permitted, she would go home to eat. So I haven't seen Gu Liuliu for a while.
"Aunt, it's my mother. I agreed to meet the blind date that was introduced to me, and she said it was just a meeting and we didn't have to get along. But after I came back, she insisted that I get along with her. If you don't like her, then you don't like her. You can't marry someone just because she has good conditions. Of course, you have to find someone you like when you get married."
Young girls always have beautiful fantasies about marriage. They believe that marriage requires mutual love, and that material possessions and family conditions are secondary.
As for Gu Huaicai's thoughts, he also felt that feelings were important, but it was not appropriate to put family conditions at the top of the list.
She married Zhang Anjun because they had been classmates for many years and had a good impression of each other when they were in school. In addition, Zhang's parents were both working and the family was well-off, so she had the courage to go home and tell her parents directly without going through a matchmaker.
But after being married for many years, I think that life after marriage still depends on the person. It is enough if you like the person's appearance. No matter how handsome a person is, it would be miserable if you don't have enough food to eat after marrying him.
Jiang Mengxue was also very curious about what kind of person Gu Liuliu liked.
"So, Liuliu, what kind of person are you looking for? A person's personality, values, appearance, and family background. What do you think is more important?"
Gu Liuliu was really stumped. She had never thought about what kind of person she liked or what her standards were. She just felt that none of the people she met on blind dates were the ones she liked.
"I don't know either. I think it's the kind that you don't dislike at first sight."
An Xin rolled her eyes speechlessly, it was the same as if she hadn't said anything.
“How can you know if a person is good or not, or if their personalities are compatible, if you don’t get along with them?
Just like when you make friends, you only know if you are suitable to be friends after you get to know each other better."
Gu Liuliu felt annoyed when she heard her mother say this.
"Oh, here we go again. I just don't want to get along with him. That means we're not compatible. Even if I go there reluctantly, it won't be enjoyable."
An Xin didn't want to scold her in front of outsiders, so she changed the subject.
"Will your sister-in-law transfer her job to Xicheng in the future? I heard from Huaiju that you've already bought the house you live in now. It's quite big. Let's go and see it when we have the chance."
Jiang Mengxue kept smiling.
"I'm going back to East City next month. I'm usually bored at home alone. My eldest sister-in-law and sixth sister can come over anytime they're free."
After hearing this, An Xin felt relieved, as long as she didn't have to live here forever.
"It's been a while since I returned to the army after graduating from Tsinghua University and Peking University. Have you written to me? Although being a soldier is good in every way, it's really too busy for the family. My uncle and aunt haven't been home for many years."
"Soldiers must obey orders. Their mission is to defend the country. As a military wife, I will manage our small family well and wait for him to come back at any time."
While Jiang Mengxue was chatting with An Xin, Old Lady Tian had already set her eyes on Gu Liuliu.
I had wanted Li Cuiying to help introduce Gu Liuliu and her grandson to each other.
She also knew that Li Cuiying didn't want to get involved in her nephew's family affairs. The couple had no children and would have to rely on her nephew in the future.
Now if the person I choose for my niece doesn't satisfy them, I'll be in a difficult position.
Although Mrs. Tian is old, her mind is not confused and her heart is as clear as a mirror.
Since Li Cuiying couldn't be relied upon, Mrs. Tian decided to do it herself.
Anyway, I am so old. If An Xin disagrees, I can just treat it as her old age and nonsense.
"Cuiying, niece-in-law, how old is your girl this year? Has she found a husband?"
An Xin was about to chat with Jiang Mengxue for a few more words when she was interrupted by Old Mrs. Tian.
