Chapter 38 Rejection of Blind Date

After the New Year's Eve gala, Xiao Qingru took a holiday.

On the first day of the new year, I don’t stay in bed. I get up early in the morning to practice.

"Qingru, come and take a look. I don't know who sent you this thing. It was just delivered by a young comrade."

Xiao Qingru's first friend should be Xu Muzhou. He had just returned to Beijing a few days ago, and the things he sent did not arrive so quickly.

Looking at the address, it was sent from the city.

When I looked at the sender's information again, it was indeed Xu Muzhou.

My heart suddenly started beating uncontrollably, as if I was hit by a surprise.

"Mom, I'll go upstairs first. Call me later."

"Go and do your own thing. You can go upstairs when people come to pay New Year's greetings."

"good."

Xiao's mother smiled and shook her head. Seeing her daughter's surprised look, she knew it was given to her by Xiao Xu.

Today's young people are really interesting.

When the young lady is happy, Xiao's mother is happy too.

Leaving those who are not worthy, our family Qingru's relationship and career are getting better and better.

The performance also won an award.

I went into the kitchen with a smile on my face. I had to make some bone soup for my young lady. Only if she kept herself in good health could she have more energy for dancing.

In the room upstairs.

Xiao Qingru couldn't wait to open the cardboard wrapping the package, and inside were two magnetic tapes.

I picked it up and took a look. It was a new song that had just been released.

She had originally planned to go to the city to buy it during the Chinese New Year, but now it was delivered to her, saving her the trouble of making a trip.

Xiao Qingru was really happy to receive the gift she loved.

Go downstairs to find some letter paper and write a letter to Xu Muzhou. It should be delivered to you in half a month from here to Beijing.

After writing the thank-you letter, I realized that I didn't know Xu Muzhou's home address, so I had to throw the letter into the drawer.

Never see the light of day.

Beijing city.

Xu Muzhou touched his hot ears. Was it Qingru who wanted him to be with him?

In fact, I miss her too.

Even my dreams at night are of her.

I don’t know if the performance went smoothly?

Did you receive the New Year gift from 놛?

I don't know whether she likes it or not.

Xu Muzhou only went home once a year, and his family was most worried about finding a wife for him.

While eating, Xu's mother asked, "Are you not free today?"

"What do you need me to do?"

"The daughter of Manager Liu in our factory is about your age and also works in the factory. You can go meet her when you have time. If it's a good match, we can get her married. Then let her go with the army and take care of you. I, your father, will also be relieved."

“No.”

"Oh, you kid, you always come back to do this to me every year. You don't find a partner or go on blind dates. When will you solve your life's problems?"

"Who said I don't look for a partner?"

"Don't tell me you're still young..."

Xu's mother suddenly stopped talking and looked at her husband, "What did you just say?"

"It seems to be saying, who said I don't look for a partner?"

This answer was different from the previous two years. The couple stared at Xu Muzhou at the same time.

"Who are you talking to?"

"not yet."

The faces of the couple showed the same disappointment. As expected, they shouldn't have expected too much from each other.

"But I like lesbians."

Mother Xu almost choked on her own saliva, "Are you getting it? Do you like lesbians?"

Xu Muzhou had a frown on his forehead. He was a normal person. Of course he would be moved and like someone he wanted when he met him.

"Tell mom about the girl's situation. After the New Year, I will ask your dad for a long vacation and accompany you to propose marriage."

Father Xu nodded. "It is said that once you have established a family and a career, and your personal affairs are settled, my mission as your mother will be accomplished."

"Who gave you the mission?"

Father Xu, Mother Xu: "..."

We haven't thought about this problem either.

"What are you dawdling about, little brat? Hurry up and tell me!"

Xu Muzhou thought he was impatient enough, but he didn't expect his parents to be more anxious than him.

He straightened his back, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Her name is Xiao Qingru, and she is a dancer in the literary troupe."

"Xiao? Could he be a relative of your friend, the guy who came to our house for dinner the last time he came to Beijing?"

"Yes, it's my younger sister."

Father Xu hesitated for a moment, "If I remember correctly, your family conditions are not ordinary."

After this reminder, Xu's mother also remembered.

His family is an official.

The originally excited heart calmed down, "I know your father works in the factory, but it's not high enough for us to marry into a family like that."

It's not that they look down on themselves, but marriage has always been about matching one's social status.

The Xiao family's family background is too prominent, our Xu family is really not worthy of them.

Xu Muzhou's expression did not change. He knew that his family conditions were not as good as Qingru's, so he would try his best to be good to her and work hard to make a future for her.

The fact that I only favor Qingru in my life is my only advantage.

So you have to be nicer to Qingru, and even nicer...

"Dad, Mom, we pilots have a lot of opportunities in our promotion space, and we won't be wronged in the future, Qingru, don't worry."

Mother Xu glared at her son and said, "It's useless for you to say that. It's only useful if people think you are capable and won't let their daughter suffer any grievances."

"The Xiao family is very nice, and Qingru is also very nice."

Hearing this, Xu's father and mother knew that it was useless to persuade them. What else could they do except to fully support them?

You don't want to see your son being single, do you?

They both worked hard and saved a lot of money over the past few decades to buy a spacious courtyard house in Beijing.

If this marriage really goes through, it won't seem too shabby when the in-laws come to visit our home.

"Does the girl like you?"

"like."

Xu Muzhou smiled a little foolishly.

Xu's mother felt it was too much to bear, "Then why doesn't anyone date you?"

"She needs to think about it again."

"Of course. If it were in the past, she would be getting married, so it would be human nature to be more cautious."

"When your relationship is settled, give us a call and I'll ask your dad to prepare the betrothal gifts."

Xu's mother kept nagging, "We also want other people's things. In addition to passing it on, we will give him another 2,000 yuan as a gift. After all, Comrade Xiao is different from others."

Xu Muzhou nodded and said, "I will give you the allowance when the time comes."

"We don't want your money. Your father's monthly salary is 18 yuan, and mine is 25 yuan. We can save at least 500 yuan a year. We can still afford the betrothal gift."

Xu Muzhou teased: "Didn't you say before that I would save my allowance for myself and use it to marry a wife in the future?"

"If you use up all your allowance, how will you support your family in the future? You can't let your wife support you, right?"

We only have this one son, and everything in the family will eventually belong to him, so there's no need to worry about so much.

The most important thing is to show sincerity so that the elders of the Xiao family can feel at ease in marrying their daughter to their son.

During the meal, the Xu family had already discussed everything from the betrothal gift to the details of the marriage.

"Where will you hold your wedding?"

"In the northwest, you can go there and see where I work."

"That's fine. The Xiao family's situation is special, so we should keep a low profile. Next time you bring your new bride home, we'll send some food to the neighbors to liven things up."

"Well, I'll take your word for it."
