Chapter 20: The Hard Thing



The topic turned to personal issues, and the bachelors at the table were Hua Youcai and Hao Li.

Hao Li was the first to be affected. He had to go through it every Chinese New Year and had become accustomed to it.

Not only during the Chinese New Year, but also during the waves of letters from the people around me and my hometown, personal problems are unavoidable.

Fang Dayong started the conversation, "Hao Li, what kind of person are you looking for? List out your requirements, and if there's a suitable one, let's meet them right away!"

"That's right, you are already so old, why aren't you in a hurry?"

"What's the use of being anxious? It's not our destiny yet."

Comrade Hao Li has been rejected many times, and he is not afraid of itching because he has too many lice.

"You are stupid. You keep telling lies. Who knows what will happen in the future? Can you learn from Wang Changjiang?"

Zhang Xiangnan complained angrily.

Hua Youcai was drinking his own wine, with Fang Dayong's son Fang Dashuai sitting in his arms. The two of them were leisurely, one drinking and the other eating peanuts.

Wang Changjiang?

That bastard!

"What are you doing mentioning that bastard Wang Changjiang?"

"That bastard doesn't do anything."

"My daughter is pretty and she cooks well. If she leaves that stinky boy, she will find someone better in the future."

I forgot, Wang Changjiang’s former master Taishan is also sitting here.

"Ah, no, my daughter should find a live-in son-in-law in the future."

"Yes, it's a live-in son-in-law. My daughter has already said that I have the final say on what kind of son-in-law I find in the future!"

Zhang Xiangnan took the wine jug and wanted to pour another glass for the old man.

Hua Youcai was not drunk yet, so he put away the wine glass and said, "No more drinking. If you drink any more, you will get really drunk. You young people should drink, and not talk about that bastard. What's wrong with Captain Hao?"

Hao Li..., why are we back on topic again!

Liu Jianye: "Uncle, Hao Li is a bad boy for blind dates."

"Why?"

Hua Youcai glanced at Hao Li. This guy is okay, but why is he so unpopular with women?

"Uncle, this girl wants to find someone with a promising future!"

Li Xian helped to solve the problem.

After a lot of discussion, we finally figured out the problem.

This kid Hao Li, even though he and Wang Changjiang are both battalion commanders, he is not as good at dealing with things as the other.

The strength of personal ability does not completely determine future development.

It depends on comprehensive ability, all aspects must be in place.

Unless you have outstanding personal abilities, we can't do without you.

Hao Li is not one of them.

Zhang Xiangnan and his friends have been comrades-in-arms with Hao Li for many years.

Even they thought that if it came to promotion again, Wang Changjiang had a much greater chance than Hao Li.

When going on a blind date, the girl will definitely ask, and Hao Li is very honest, so just tell the truth.

The possibility of promotion is slim and future development is unclear.

There are many unknowns when transferring to a local job, and the girls have a lot to consider.

It would be nice if Hao Li was good at speaking and could explain things clearly so that the girls could see that they could live a good life no matter where they were in the future.

He didn't say anything, which was a problem.

I met a few girls in the base and also met some when I went back to my hometown to visit my relatives, but nothing worked out.

The longer you delay, the more difficult it becomes.

Hua Youcai enjoyed the meal very much.

We were officially acquainted, and after a meal, I felt obviously closer to everyone.

Zhang Xiangnan and his friends also had a good impression of Hua Youcai. This old man was very good-natured, reasonable, and straightforward in his words.

He is also good at dealing with people and won't take advantage of others.

After dinner and a brief chat, he left and didn't stay until the end.

This meal really took advantage of the old man. He insisted on leaving everything behind when he left, and wouldn't let me go unless I did.

They had dinner at Zhang Xiangnan's house. He didn't eat alone. Everyone shared the things the old man brought.

Especially the meat, if you put a few pieces of it when cooking, it will last you a long time.

The rule when they eat together is to bring whatever they have at home.

*

In the evening, Zhang Xiangnan and his wife Yang Jing lay in bed and chatted.

Yang Jing is particularly happy today. She likes a lively house. Even if the three little ones quarrel so much that the roof is about to fall off, she is still happy.

"Xiangnan, did you say that Captain Wang really divorced Uncle Hua's daughter?"

"They really got divorced. The incident was such a big deal that even the political commissar came out. The divorce report was approved. Captain Wang went back to his hometown as soon as he got the divorce. He was so anxious."

"So now that they're divorced, why are Uncle Hua and the others coming to Beijing?"

"I don't know. The house Uncle Hua lives in is really nice. It would have been nice if the owner had rented out the house separately."

"It's pretty good here. We're used to living here. When you went to call people today, why did you only call uncle to come over?"

"I asked, and my uncle said that my daughter didn't want to go out, so he asked my son to stay at home with her."

"I'm divorced because I'm afraid of gossip! When I was paying New Year's greetings yesterday, I came alone..."

Yang Jing and Zhang Xiangnan have been married for several years but have not been pregnant. She has been taking Chinese medicine recently and has no appetite at all.

The person was already thin, and now he was even thinner, just skin and bones.

I didn’t eat much dumplings during the Chinese New Year, but I ate a lot of stewed cabbage and radish cakes today.

Zhang Xiangnan thought that if his wife liked it, he would shamelessly go to Uncle Hua's house to ask for it.

On the other side, Wang Fugui and his wife Li Chunlan were also talking about Hua Yuanyuan.

"Wife, do you think Uncle Hua's daughter and Captain Hao can get together?"

Wang Fugui and his wife are from neighboring villages, both in the southern mountains. Their hometown is really poor. There are not many requirements for finding a wife.

"Just because we think it's okay doesn't mean it's okay. People outside think a lot, which is different from what we have back home."

"It's hard for people out there to find a wife because they have so many problems. If Hao Li can't find a wife, let's talk to him. He can't be single forever."

Wang Fugui was really worried about his brother. Why was it so difficult for him to find a wife?

Shahe Mountain Festival on the 6th day of the first lunar month

These days, Hua Yuanyuan was very interested in reading. Apart from reading, she spent the rest of her time watching her father and younger brother practicing weighted bike riding in the yard.

Hua Youcai bought a bag of wheat and a bag of corn from Uncle Wang's house.

Hua Youcai and his son tied two bags of grain to the back seat of the bicycle and took turns riding it.

It’s more difficult than riding an empty bike, and Hua Fangfang rides it more difficultly than her dad.

Hua Youcai quickly learned to ride steadily, and was very cool.

"Daughter, what do you think of my father's riding?"

The round rainbow farts are blown like they are free of charge!

"Dad, how come you are so good? Those two bags of food are so heavy, but you can ride them steadily without any practice!"

"Dad, I have to admit it. The old ones are the wisest."

"Dad, you are awesome, still going strong even at your old age!"

Hua Youcai was so overwhelmed by his daughter's praise that he was almost at a loss.

Hua Fangfang couldn't help but admit it. He almost fell when he first started riding. He didn't fall as he had ridden more often, but the handlebars were still shaking. It was true that his skills were worse than his father's.

However, my sister said that his advantage is that he is young and strong, while my father's advantage is that he is experienced.

There is no contradiction, all the heavy work at home will depend on him in the future.

You see, during the mountain fair, her sister rode in his car instead of her father’s.
