Chapter 29 Chapter 29 This time it's not just a specific place, there's also a...
The person in charge is a generation younger than Grandma Xie. After Grandma Xie was rehabilitated, a group of grassroots cadres were promoted out of turn. These people had been persecuted to some extent before the college entrance examination, but they did not expect that there would be a sunny day one day.
The person in charge smiled and told Xie Shuju about the next arrangements: "The study is half a day, and the other half day, let Xiaoci study at the matchmaking agency near your home, which is convenient for commuting."
Xie Shuju touched Jiang Xiaoci's questioning head and said with a smile, "Our child is indeed very outstanding. Fortunately, she was selected based on her ability. Otherwise, I would not have the face to use the backdoor for her."
The person in charge clapped his hands and laughed: "Xiao Ci's matchmaking is always a match made in heaven, there is no bad one, there is no need to use backdoors, you are kidding."
Jiang Xiaoci knew she would be selected before the competition even started, so she couldn't help but ask, "Grandma Xie, are you helping me get in through the back door?"
Xie Shuju smiled and told her not to overthink it: "You are so capable, you really don't need to use any backdoors. Besides, you are young, so the TV station will definitely interview you. If you are on TV, they will definitely choose you."
Jiang Xiaoci couldn't understand it any more: "Then why did you go to the person in charge to say hello?"
Xie Shuju taught her: "We can choose not to use the back door, but we can't let those who use the back door grab the quota. Grandma came here today to let people know that you also have a backer, so don't think of bullying me."
Jiang Xiaoci felt warm in her heart: "Thank you grandma, I haven't done anything for you, thank you for taking care of me so much."
Jiang Xiaoci helped her a lot. That day in the park, if she hadn't gone there suddenly, Xie Shuju wouldn't have dared to think about the consequences.
When she had some free time, Xie Shumei taught Jiang Xiaoci about the warmth and coldness of human nature.
"Xiaoci, don't be fooled by today's appearance. Our family has been rehabilitated now. When we were sent down to the countryside before, these people could not escape. It was only your grandma, a sister who has known me for decades, who sent me things, money, and tickets. Otherwise, grandma might not have survived until she came back."
Jiang Xiaoci understood that sincerity may not necessarily be exchanged for sincerity, but falsehood certainly cannot be exchanged for sincerity.
Grandma has always treated Grandma Xie sincerely, unlike Grandma Duan, so now Grandma Xie treats her sincerely.
She hurriedly comforted him: "Thank you, grandma. Everything is fine now. Don't dwell on the past. Looking forward is the most important thing."
Xie Shuju smiled and said, "You are right."
…
There were dozens of matchmaker representatives from all over the country who came this time, but Jiang Xiaoci was the youngest, and the marriages she had facilitated on her resume were very impressive.
At the seminar, everyone was talking about their experiences. The person in charge saw a TV reporter recording the speaker and quickly spoke up, mentioning Jiang Xiaoci.
"What's your name, little girl sitting at the end?"
"Jiang Xiaoci, I'm from Yuncheng, and I've been working for less than half a year." Jiang Xiaoci stood up, and her clear and sweet voice suddenly drowned out all the other voices.
The TV reporter immediately turned the camera to this generous and stage-unafraid girl.
The person in charge smiled with satisfaction and said, "In such a short period of time, you have done more than a dozen matchmaking. I heard that two of them were admitted to universities, one of which is from Beijing University. You are really amazing. Tell me about your experience."
Jiang Xiaoci thought, how come the matchmaking I did for my aunt and uncle in my hometown is also counted?
Of course she couldn't talk about the red line, but she also had a set of summarized experiences.
She said: "When I act as a matchmaker, I have a few principles. First, I ask clearly what both men and women want. I always encourage them to boldly state their needs and ask clearly."
"Then, the family relationship of both parties must be verified accurately, including the number of brothers and sisters, and how the parents view the couple. Finally, we can select the members we have who meet the requirements for introduction. This way, the success rate will be higher."
She was a little girl, and she boasted in front of the camera, which attracted some questions: "Your story is too complicated. How much effort does it take to check the family relationships one by one?"
Jiang Xiaoci didn't think it was troublesome: "It took a little effort at the beginning. Sometimes we were afraid that people would deliberately only say good things and not bad things, so we had to verify it several times."
She went on to talk about the benefits: "After we built up our reputation, more and more members came to register. With such a large membership database, matchmaking became much more convenient and the error rate was reduced a lot. It's just an ordinary job for us, but for the two parties involved in the blind date, it's a lifelong thing and we can't be careless."
As these words were spoken, applause broke out in the conference hall, and even the reporters who were interviewing the reporters couldn't help but applaud.
After the person in charge took the lead in applauding, he put down his hands and praised: "See, it is still the young people who have a more scientific method. Everyone has their own experience. Sometimes age does not matter. As long as it is good, we can learn together."
The seminar lasted for two days. On the third day, only one-third of the participants stayed to visit and learn from several representative matchmaking agencies.
On the day when Jiang Xiaoci's interview was broadcast on TV, the matchmaking agency where she would go for study was also decided, which was the one closest to Grandma Xie's home.
The interview was recorded. Jiang Xiaoci attended classes for half a day and went to the matchmaking agency for half a day. The first day she went to study was also the day she would appear on TV. Her family members specially found a house with a TV, and they gathered together to watch the program in the time period that Grandma Xie had agreed to in advance by phone.
Gu Wenying was very happy: "I wonder if Xiaoci saw it herself?"
He Suwen was very proud: "This is the first person in our family to be interviewed."
Jiang Yunzhong said, "Just you guys watch, I'll go call Han Jingyuan. These past few days, Xiaoci has been asking him to talk every time she calls the police station. Who is the real brother? I'll ask her when she comes back."
Several adults looked at Jiang Yunzhong.
Jiang Yunzhong felt uncomfortable being stared at. "What's wrong? Do you suspect Jiang Xiaoci and Han Jingyuan of something? That's impossible. We solve cases and mediate disputes every day. We are so tired that our brains are numb. How can we have time to think about other things? He doesn't have the thoughts you think he does. I believe that."
Jiang Weihai said: "Actually, I think Han Jingyuan is pretty good. I've watched him grow up, and he's a local, so isn't he good?"
Gu Wenying teased him, "Don't think about it. You can't take all the good things for yourself. Xiaoci is busy with her own things. Let's not think too much."
…
The person in charge of the matchmaking agency where Jiang Xiaoci interned was a girl named Qiao Shaoyao, who was a few years younger than Grandma Xie and seemed quite friendly. Jiang Xiaoci felt quite comfortable there.
But she soon discovered that Grandma Qiao didn't want her to interfere with the registration of members' information, so she was so free.
Jiang Xiaoci loved to observe and inquire. When she noticed that Grandma Qiao introduced two unsuitable people to a blind date for the second time, she felt something was wrong.
I originally wanted to follow the blind date and continue observing, but Aunt Cheng's stepdaughter came over and Grandma Qiao was out, so Jiang Xiaoci registered her.
Shi Lerong had long wanted to test Jiang Xiaoci's skills, and while registering, she chatted with Jiang Xiaoci.
Jiang Xiaoci asked very seriously and took notes very seriously, but she also reminded: "Sister Shi, I don't have many member information in Beijing City, so I may not be able to introduce you to a suitable one."
Shi Lerong watched Jiang Xiaoci's speech on TV and she agreed with Jiang Xiaoci's point of view.
She said, "It's okay. I didn't count on you. In fact, I looked down on my stepmother at first. I saw her and my father suffer and gloated over their misfortunes. After I went to the countryside and suffered, I realized that everyone has their own difficulties. So this time when I came back, I can get along with her peacefully. Our relationship is not very good, but there is no need to be hostile."
Jiang Xiaoci nodded seriously: "It's good that you think so. I also have a reconstituted family. I have a stepfather and two stepbrothers, but our family is as close as biological ones, especially harmonious. My brothers are very good to me. As long as there is no deep hatred, we get along happily. Sister Shi, please tell me your requirements. What if I can find a suitable one for you?"
When talking about her conditions, Shi Lerong is still very proud.
"My father was rehabilitated and returned to his original unit. He is a department-level leader. I am his only child now, so I want to find a wife."
It is not easy to find a wife in the countryside, and it is probably even more difficult in the city.
Jiang Xiaoci kindly reminded: "What are your requirements for the man? If you want to find a husband, you may have to relax the requirements a little bit, but it doesn't have to be. My uncle's conditions are very good. He became a live-in son-in-law and was admitted to university. You tell me first and I will try my best to find one for you."
Shi Lerong was not happy: "If the conditions are relaxed, why would I look for you golden matchmakers? I want someone who is of equal appearance and character, educated, between 25 and 30 years old, and has taken the college entrance examination twice since its resumption. It would be even better if the other party could be a college student."
Jiang Xiaoci wrote down all her requests and said, "Okay, since I've registered them, I'll definitely keep them in mind."
Shi Lerong was satisfied with Jiang Xiaoci's attitude: "I see you are very serious. If you really can't find someone, don't force it. I have also registered with other matchmaking agencies. Let's see who finds someone first."
Jiang Xiaoci used the ability of the little flower demon to take a look and found that there was indeed a red line connected to her body, but it was not in Jing City.
It’s really strange. Since there is a red line, let’s help her take a look.
…
Just after I finished registering, a well-mannered young man waiting at the door came in and asked in a very friendly manner: "Hello, young comrade, can I register now?"
Jiang Xiaoci nodded quickly: "Okay, come in."
Jiang Xiaoci made some tea, asked him to sit down, and took out a registration form. She said, "Our process is to first state your conditions, and then state your requirements for your other half, the other party and the other party's family, and be as detailed as possible."
The young man glanced at Shi Lerong who was standing beside him. Shi Lerong tried to cover up: "I am an employee here. You can talk about it. It doesn't matter."
The young man said, "My name is He Qizhao. I was admitted to Beijing University this year. I will report in a few days."
Shi Lerong was stunned. It was such a coincidence that she met a college student. He came to register, which meant he was single.
When Jiang Xiaoci saw Shi Lerong's actions, she pretended not to see anything. After all, it was a blind date, so if there was someone suitable, they could go together. However, Shi Lerong's favorite person was not He Qizhao.
She praised him, "You are amazing to be admitted to Beijing University. Tell me more about your family situation and your requirements for your partner."
He Qizhao continued, "I am 28 years old this year. I wasted time in the countryside. Now I have been admitted to university. I want to get married and have children during my studies so that I can focus on my work after graduation. I hope the woman is sensible. I don't care much about appearance. I mainly value inner beauty."
Jiang Xiaoci pondered for a moment, and registered each item according to her own understanding, then asked, "I've remembered it. Now tell me about your family."
He Qizhao talked about his family and sighed, "My family conditions are not very good. I have been living under my uncle and aunt since I was a child."
Jiang Xiaoci asked: "You are from the capital, did your parents reserve a house for you?"
He Qizhao's tone was obviously lowered: "My parents used to have a house, but it was occupied by my uncle and aunt a long time ago, and they lived in a large compound with several families squeezed together. Even if we divide it, we can only get one and a half rooms. Where to live after marriage is indeed a problem, but I think if the woman's family is better off, I can live there first, and after I work for a few years, I can get a house."
Jiang Xiaoci wrote down everything truthfully and said, "Okay, once the information is verified, I'll show you a suitable one from the registration information at the matchmaking agency."
He Qizhao thanked him and said, "Thank you for your help then."
Jiang Xiaoci felt that He Qizhao's conditions were indeed good, so she used the ability of the little flower demon to help him take a look. He had a discontinuous red string on his body that was twisted like a pretzel, and the other end of the red string was not in Beijing. It seemed that he had a relationship before and did not tell the truth.
Jiang Xiaoci was afraid that Sister Shi would be tempted, so she warned her, "Sister Shi, I still need to verify the information they said. Marriage is an important matter, so don't be anxious. Wait until everything is verified before you see it."
Shi Lerong smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I will definitely verify it, otherwise I won't even know I've been cheated."
…
Jiang Xiaoci not only has to verify He Qizhao's information, but also Shi Lerong's. It is estimated that there will not be many mistakes in the registered information. The main thing is the situation of the two people going to the countryside for several years. If there is no debt of love, then what about the red line?
Jiang Xiaoci called Shengli Police Station and asked Han Jingyuan for help, but the call was answered by his eldest brother.
Jiang Yunzhong was a little jealous: "Why can't my brother help you? Do you have to find him?"
The matter of the red thread can only be discussed with Brother Han. Jiang Xiaoci can control Brother Han: "It must be something that only he can help with. Brother, please don't ask. Don't delay my important matter."
Jiang Yunzhong had no choice but to hand the phone to Han Jingyuan. He was pouring water and mopping the floor beside him, but was dragged away by the old director who couldn't stand it anymore.
Han Jingyuan asked: "What is the confidential matter? Tell me?"
Jiang Xiaoci then told the story of the educated youth returning to the city to register at the matchmaking agency.
"One is Aunt Cheng's stepdaughter, and the other is a newly admitted college student. Their profiles match, but each of them has a red thread that has not been broken. I suspect they were married when they went to the countryside."
Han Jingyuan said, "That's easy. Send me their address in the countryside. I'll ask my colleagues at the township police station to go to the commune and quietly inquire. I'll give you the news in the next two days."
Jiang Xiaoci quickly told Brother Han the address of Shi Lerong and He Qizhao in the countryside and waited for his news.
On the other hand, she also went to find her aunt. Her aunt had been in Beijing for more than half a year, so she asked her to take her with her so that she was more familiar with the route.
Jiang Hongyu also runs a clothing business. She owns a street-side house that Yu Changqing's family took back. She imports clothes and sells them without having to pay rent, so her income is very good.
The younger sister-in-law hugged her and pretended to call her: "I received a call from your mother almost a week ago. Why did you come just now? There is a guard at the door where your grandmother Xie lives. We dare not go there. We are afraid that people will say that you are trying to establish a relationship with her in a roundabout way. Otherwise, we would have come to find you a long time ago."
Jiang Xiaoci hurriedly said, "Aunt, I'm here now. I have something to do with Grandma Xie's family. I would like you to take me to verify the membership information."
Jiang Hongyu immediately closed the store, took a bus according to the address, and accompanied Jiang Xiaoci to inquire carefully around He Qizhao's home. The situation was similar to what he said when he registered.
It was indeed not easy for him to live under his uncle and aunt, but his parents sold things secretly, which caused his uncle to lose his job and he had to rely on his aunt to support them, so he had to go to the countryside.
He avoided the main point and did not say anything about the situation in this area.
Jiang Hongyu said: "A bit vain."
Jiang Xiaoci said: "Maybe he doesn't want to give the other party a bad impression. In fact, his father was just speculating and profiteering. It's not considered a mistake now, so don't worry about it."
…
The next night, Brother Han also found out everything. He called Grandma Xie's house. Jiang Xiaoci answered the phone and said in a low voice, "Brother Han, have both sides found out everything?"
"Well, it's verified. Shi Lerong got married in the countryside. It was a marriage that had a wedding banquet in the countryside, but no marriage certificate was obtained. She also gave birth to a child, and the child is only two years old now."
Jiang Xiaoci was surprised and exclaimed "Ah", causing the three people sitting and laughing in the living room to turn around and look at her.
"What's wrong, Xiaoci?" Xie Shuju asked concernedly.
Shi Lerong said with a smile: "He must be chatting with his partner. Xiaoci, do you have a partner? You can't hide it."
Jiang Xiaoci laughed dryly, and waited until they were no longer paying attention before continuing to ask, "What about He Qizhao?"
"Before the college entrance examination, he had agreed to become the son-in-law of the village chief's family. On the day he received the admission notice, he asked for compensation to cancel the engagement, but the girl's family did not agree. So far, he has been handling the compensation negotiations remotely."
Jiang Xiaoci: …She said that there are always reasons for the red lines. She had to tell Grandma Xie about the situation of these two people and let their families know so that there wouldn’t be another mess like Ji Qinglan’s.
I don't know what happened to the elder sister, she was in a very good mood and didn't want to stop chatting. Jiang Xiaoci felt sleepy and kept nodding her head.
Xie Shuju looked distressed and said, "Okay, let's stop talking and go to sleep."
Jiang Xiaoci and Brother Cheng's rooms are downstairs, while Grandma Xie and Aunt Cheng's rooms are upstairs. She couldn't sneak up there. She was too sleepy, so she went to sleep first and rest up for tomorrow.
Jiang Xiaoci fell asleep quickly. That night, she had that special dream again. She dreamed of a specific place and could see the street signs and house numbers clearly.
The last time I had this kind of dream was when my eldest brother and Brother Han had an appointment to fight. This time it was several months later, and the location was still in Beijing.
What's more, this time it was not just a specific place, there was also a man standing at the door, waiting for her to run over, and he even talked to her.
This was the first time in such a special dream that someone appeared, she could see his face clearly and hear his voice. She didn't dare to delay at all, so she got up, washed, and went out as quickly as possible.
