Bai Fendou was feeling depressed and thinking that these people were really short-sighted, when someone came up to say hello.
He turned around in surprise and instantly felt happy. The comrade in front of him looked quite in line with Bai Fendou's aesthetic. He didn't like the youthful type. On the contrary, he liked those who were a bit gorgeous and plump.
It's just Wang Xiangxiu's type.
And the person in front of me happens to be of this type.
"What? You don't recognize me? I'm your elementary school classmate Guan Guiling. What? Now that you're doing well, you don't recognize your old classmates anymore?"
Bai Fendou: "Guan Guiling?"
I don't remember, but even though I don't remember, it doesn't affect Bai Fendou at all. He nodded: "So it's you."
As a man, how can you say that you don't know a pretty girl?
He looked down at her name tag, but saw nothing on it. He looked at Guan Guiling in surprise and said, "Aren't you here for a blind date?"
Guan Guiling said with a somewhat dejected tone, "How can I be qualified to come here for a blind date? Look at all the people who come here for a blind date, who isn't a pretty girl? An old hand like me is just here to serve as a foil. I work in the bus station union and I'm here to help."
Bai Fendou: "What do you mean by old-fashioned? I think many people here are not as good as you."
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted angry glares. If you want to please women, just please women. Why do you say bad things about us? Besides, it's fine if you say it. You say it behind our backs. You are afraid that we can't hear you with such a loud voice, right?
What kind of person is this?
The quality is too poor.
The female comrades who were closer all rolled their eyes, but the male comrades were quite happy. With someone like Bai Fendou as a foil, they all looked good and nice. The more unpleasant people there were, the more chances they had of winning.
Woo woo.
Everyone had their own thoughts, but Guan Guiling smiled and said, "Thank you for protecting me. Old classmates are great."
Bai Fendou blushed at her words. Guan Guiling asked, "How is it? Is there a girl you like? The girls at our bus station are pretty good."
Bai Fendou knew that she was good, no matter if she was at the bus station, a primary school teacher or their machinery factory, this girl was always good. But the girl looked down on him, and no one paid any attention to him when he approached her. She was really arrogant.
But he wanted to save face, so he said, "I haven't seen anyone suitable. I'm a picky person."
Guan Guiling raised her eyebrows and said softly, "You have been like this since you were a child. You have high standards."
Bai Fendou immediately laughed. He thought this old classmate was a really nice person, much better than these girls who didn't understand his goodness. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you single or married? You are such a nice person, you must have been married a long time ago, right?"
Guan Guiling nodded: "I'm married."
After a pause, he added: "But I'm divorced."
Bai Fendou sighed softly, Guan Guiling's eyes flickered and she said, "I'm also unlucky~ My man, ah."
After a pause, seeing that Bai Fendou's interest had been aroused, he added, "Forget it, forget it. Look, why am I saying this? Don't ruin your interest in the blind date."
Bai Fendou was anxious: "No, come on, why don't you say it? I don't have much fun with blind dates. Why don't we go out and sit down? It's not convenient to talk with so many people here." He thought for a while and said, "I'll treat you to a meal. Let's go to the state-owned restaurant and eat meat buns."
Guan Guiling: "Isn't this bad? Look, everyone is here for a blind date. I'm sure many girls are interested in you and want to come over to chat. If I take you away, others will hate me to death and think that I ruined your marriage."
"How can that be possible? Besides, if someone is interested in me, do I have to be interested in them? I'm not that casual. Let me tell you, I have certain requirements when looking for a partner. Let's go out. It's rare for us old classmates to meet. Let's go out for dinner together."
Guan Guiling smiled and said, "Okay then."
The two of them went out together, and Zhuang Zhixi was dumbfounded. He couldn't hear what Bai Fendou and the others said from the corner, but even though he couldn't hear what they said, he could tell that they were very happy to see each other. He looked at the backs of the two people in surprise, and then he heard an unbelievable voice: "Bai Fendou actually took the girl away? Is this reasonable?"
Zhuang Zhixi turned his head and saw Zhou Qun. Zhou Qun didn't know how long he had been looking there. He was very shocked. His eyes were a little dull. He said, "I never thought that he would take her away! Oh no, which unit is that woman from? She is so blind. Does she have any intentions?"
Zhou Qun asked questions from the depths of his soul.
Zhuang Zhixi looked at this guy's loss of composure and said, "Maybe Bai Fendou has found love at this time. Can't you hope that your brother Fendou will be okay?"
Zhou Qun still had a shocked look on his face, and said, "Is this what I hope will happen to them? Bai Fendou can't be deceived by others, right?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Who knows? I saw that woman didn't bring any brand name tags, but she shouldn't have been allowed in without a brand name tag."
In fact, Zhuang Zhixi also felt that it was not right. As I said before, a normal woman would not look for a eunuch.
"Let's ask him when we get back to the hospital."
As neighbors in a compound, they were very worried, fearing that Bai Fendou had been cheated. Well, it wasn't that they wanted to watch the fun and meddle in other people's business, absolutely not.
This means that their staff cannot leave early, otherwise Zhuang Zhixi would want to go and see the excitement of Bai Fendou.
Zhuang Zhixi felt that although today's matchmaking meeting was lively, it was generally not interesting. Hundreds of young girls and boys were not as lively as the meeting of a dozen households in their courtyard.
Young man, this won't work. It's too tense.
He watched for a while and felt that it was more interesting when Brother Fendou was here, but why did this guy leave now? What a pity.
I don't know where Bai Fendou took that old woman.
Zhuang Zhixi is not stupid. Although he couldn't hear them talking, he could tell at a glance that this woman was definitely not an unmarried woman. After all, she was not old. And she would not take the initiative to contact Bai Fendou if she was unmarried.
After all, even the poor rural girl Wang Zhaodi refused to do it.
In fact, Zhuang Zhixi was wrong about this. No matter how he said it, it cannot be said that Wang Zhaodi would not do it. In fact, if it was a normal blind date, even if they knew that Bai Fendou was not good enough, Wang Zhaodi's family would definitely be happy to marry him based on the conditions. What does Wang Zhaodi, a girl who has not seen much of the world, know? Even if she knew it might not be good, she would definitely listen to her family and marry him.
But the problem is, they are not blind dating, Wang Zhaodi lived in their yard for special reasons, met many people, and had some changes in her thinking. At the same time, she also knew what Bai Fendou was like. Under such circumstances, how could Wang Zhaodi not know that Bai Fendou was a real pit of fire for an unmarried girl? So Wang Zhaodi would not be happy no matter what.
She is down-to-earth and hardworking. She relies on her hands to survive and doesn't want to get by in a fussy way.
Look, you see, Wang Zhaodi, a country girl, is not happy about it, so how could a woman with a job in the city possibly look down on Bai Fighting?
Yes, there are some differences between having a job and not having a job, both in terms of spirit and dress. If you are a housewife, you will be relatively sloppy, while people who work tend to be neat and tidy.
I can't say it's the same for all of them, but this is generally the case.
So Zhuang Zhixi felt that his efforts were in vain, as he might run into a scammer again.
"Hey, do you know that woman?" Zhou Qun asked when Zhuang Zhixi was thinking.
Zhuang Zhixi looked at him, shook his head and said, "I don't know him."
Zhou Qun: "You don't even know her, and you're not wearing a name tag. I'll go ask her to see if there's any questionable woman sneaking in."
He rushed out immediately, and Zhuang Zhixi also touched his chin, as if thinking about something.
When I looked up again, I saw Zhou Qun jumping up and down, talking to this person and that person, very busy.
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
Who would have thought that at the beginning of the year, this person was still so serious and full of moral truths? This change was so fast that it caught people off guard! However, Zhou Qun is actually quite good like this. At least he has some human touch.
After a while, Zhou Qun came back. He came close to Zhuang Zhixi and whispered, "I found out everything."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Hmm?”
He was also curious, so he quickly asked, "What's going on? What does that woman do? How did she get in touch with Bai Fendou?"
Zhou Qun: "I went to the door and asked the woman from the bus station union. She came here to help."
Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows and said, "Help? This time the main organizer is our factory, and the people setting up the venue here are basically our people from the machinery factory. You have been busy for most of the morning, don't you know? Basically, they are all our people. The school didn't want to make it public so they didn't arrange anyone. There are only a few people from the union at the bus station, and we met them all this morning. She is not here."
The school is now shrinking, not daring to show its head, being extremely cautious and quiet.
As for the bus station, the bus station does not have weekends off, they have adjusted holidays, and the buses have to operate as usual every day, so many people at the bus station signed up for blind dates this time, so someone had to take over the bus. In the past two years, there have been many takeovers at the bus station, and there are fewer single people in the government offices, but more single ticket sellers.
So, when they go on blind dates, many people have to take their place.
So not many people came to help from the bus station. There were only five people in total, including Zhuang Zhixi and Men Qinger.
After all, his wife works at the bus station.
It was because of this relationship that the two parties got in touch and arranged this blind date. People at the bus station had seen Zhuang Zhixi pick up his wife, so even if they didn't know each other, they were familiar with each other, and they all greeted each other as soon as they arrived.
So Zhuang Zhixi was familiar with several people at the bus station, but he had never seen the woman just now.
When he said that, Zhou Qun clapped his head and said, "Yes, I didn't see this woman when I was helping here this morning. But you can't lie about this, right? After all, it will be exposed. But I just asked a few female comrades, the ones who were closer to Bai Fendou, they said that the woman was Bai Fendou's elementary school classmate named Guan Guiling. The two old classmates met and went out together, saying that they were going to eat meat buns. Tsk tsk, look at Bai Fendou, he's quite cunning. But they also said that the woman was divorced. Oh my god, why does she look like she's here to fish? I'm so anxious, like a cat scratching my heart."
Zhuang Zhixi looked at Zhou Qun in surprise and said, "Aren't you and Bai Fendou classmates?"
He asked: "Bai Fendou knows him, but you don't?"
Zhou Qun was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes, Bai Fendou and I are classmates."
Zhou Qun, Bai Fendou and the Su family kid, although these three guys are not the same age, they were born less than a year apart. The Su kid is one year older than them, but actually he is ten months older. Therefore, the three of them were elementary school classmates.
However, these three did not study much and stopped attending school after graduating from elementary school.
Zhou Qun: "We are in the same class, how come I don't have any influence on this female classmate?"
"I guess she's changed a lot since she grew up. You can't recognize her anymore."
Zhou Qun: "Look at my stupid brain. I can't even remember a woman."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
Why are you scolding yourself?
Zhou Qun: "No, I'll go ask around."
He was about to get up and leave, but suddenly stopped and said, "I don't need to go out and ask, we can just go home and ask your wife. Your wife also works at the bus station, she must know, right?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "How long has my wife been working? You may not know. You should go out and ask around. Find out more details and we can share with each other."
The subtext is, come on, let's gossip together.
We are all chatterbox men.
Zhou Qun: "Just hold it, I'll go."
Zhou Qun jumped into the melon field again.
It's not just the two grown men who are so gossipy. As soon as Bai Fendou left, more than half of the people in the room were discussing him. After all, a god is always worth discussing. Especially since this god is obviously a eunuch and is looking for a wife.
It would be fine if he just came here to find a wife, but he specifically wanted to find someone who is good-looking.
Hiss! That's outrageous! Is it your turn to be the one with the beautiful and plump girl?
A gentleman loves a beautiful lady.
But you have to be realistic, otherwise it would be outrageous and beyond your capabilities.
Everyone was talking about it, and they were a little confused as to how someone could leave with Bai Fendou. However, the rumors were really true, this Bai Fendou was a little confused. This person was amazing.
I have to say that Bai Fendou really added a lot of topics to the blind date conference.
Originally, young men and women were somewhat restrained when they went on blind dates. Although blind dates are big events, people nowadays are generally more reserved, so they are still somewhat nervous. There are very few people who are socially awkward.
Tao Yuye is the most awesome person for daring to dance at the very beginning.
Everyone was relatively restrained, but then Bai Fendou showed up.
Bai Fendou came over with his topic.
Thanks to the topic of "white struggle", many relatively introverted young men and women started the conversation.
Zhuang Zhixi was really stunned. It was really a waste of one person's sacrifice to bring happiness to millions of single men and women.
Like Zhang Saner.
Zhang Saner, in this era, if a brick falls and kills ten people, five of them are called Zhang Saner. Zhang Saner is from the security department of the machinery factory and is a good friend of Zhuang Zhixi. Although he works in the security department, his family conditions are ordinary.
This time, he didn't meet anyone suitable for the blind date. After all, although he was a formal employee, his parents were unemployed, he only had one room, and his brothers and sisters-in-law had a lot of property that had not been divided. It sounded like a heavy burden.
So Zhang San took the initiative to attack several times, but the results were not good. However, he was optimistic and it didn't seem like his efforts were in vain.
Bai Fendou failed in his blind date because he felt that it was because the other person had no vision and could not recognize a valuable asset. It was because these people failed that he had no problems and he was a good young man with good conditions.
But Zhang San is self-aware. He knows that he failed to get a blind date because of his heavy family burden and his monkey-like appearance. It is normal for others to look down on him. So he is quite open-minded. Bai Fendou has set off a new craze. As a member of the security department, he knows Bai Fendou very well.
It did educate those who were not familiar with Bai Fendou's deeds. The machinery factory didn't take it seriously, but outside units had never heard of such things. It was quite lively for a while. After they finished talking, a girl with a plump figure even pulled Zhang San'er.
The two of them were chatting enthusiastically.
I confirmed through eye contact that they are all gossipy people.
You know what, after all this, there is a bit of a different meaning.
Zhuang Zhixi watched the scene become lively and felt that their factory should present a banner to Bai Fendou. It is really a harmonious society that is better with you. Zhuang Zhixi squatted in the corner to watch the excitement, while Bai Fendou had already left with his female classmate.
As they walked out the door, they ran into a boy who came over and asked quietly, "Would you like to buy some fried peanuts?"
Guan Guiling: "No, who would be willing to buy such an expensive thing?"
When Bai Fendou heard this, he quickly said, "I'll take one pound."
Guan Guiling quickly stopped him: "No, this is quite expensive. Why are we buying this? It's a waste of money. Look, we are old classmates and we just met by chance. It's not nice to ask you to spend money as soon as you see me."
She stopped Bai Fendou from spending money, and Bai Fendou somehow thought of Wang Xiangxiu. As a person, Wang Xiangxiu always wanted him to spend more money. She was nothing like his old classmate, who only cared about his own good.
He waved his hand and said, "I've bought it. What else do we, the men of the city, need from a pound of peanuts?"
The peanut seller immediately collected the money for the goods. Then he stepped aside and Bai Fendou handed the fried peanuts to Guan Guiling.
Guan Guiling was holding the peanuts, her face softened a little, and she said, "Thank you, Bai Fendou, you are such a nice person."
She smiled faintly: "I remember that you were different from others when you were in elementary school, much more manly than others. I was impressed by you at that time, so when I saw you this time, I recognized you at once. I didn't expect you didn't recognize me, but you're right, an ordinary woman like me, how could I be remembered."
"Don't say things like that, you're fine."
The two of them were not in a hurry to eat, but walked all the way to the small park. Why did they hold the blind date at the Cultural Palace? It was because there was a small park not far away. If they were attracted to each other, it would be convenient to walk around.
Some parks in the city charge admission, but this one doesn't, so there are still some children playing here.
The two of them found a step and sat down.
Guan Guiling said: "Among all of us classmates, you are the one that impressed me the most. I won't hide it from you. My biggest wish when I was little was to marry you. Now when I think about it, it's so funny how naive I was when I was little, but it's great to meet you again."
Bai Fendou's face turned slightly red.
It was the first time that someone said such words to him, which made him feel very comforted.
He said, "You are also very good, your...ex-husband, what does that man do?"
How could such a good woman get married so early?
Fortunately, I'm divorced, so I'll give it a good ask.
Guan Guiling sighed, "My ex-husband... My ex-husband does nothing. He used to be a driver at the bus station. Later, he fell ill and couldn't go to work, so I took over. But I can't drive either. Because my husband is sick and needs someone to take care of him, they didn't arrange for me to be a ticket seller. The leader is good. After careful consideration, he arranged for me to work in the trade union. The work is not much, and I can take care of my family. In fact, I want to be a ticket seller. I can earn an extra three yuan a month. There are special subsidies for getting on the bus, but the rest time of being a ticket seller is unstable. I have no choice but to give up. I have five children in my family, and the oldest is only ten years old."
Bai Fendou: "Ah, you have a heavy burden."
Guan Guiling nodded: "Who said it wasn't true? But who made my life miserable?"
"What's wrong with your ex-husband?"
Guan Guiling: "I have lung disease. I cough all day long. I have no strength and can't do any work."
"pulmonary disease?"
She quickly explained, "It's not tuberculosis, it's not an infectious disease. He was injured in the lungs before and never recovered. Then the disease relapsed repeatedly and became more serious. The doctor said we can only take care of him. He can't be cured. He is so thin and has no strength at all. He can't do anything."
She smiled bitterly and said, "Even fetching water makes me faint. My family members advised me to divorce, saying that why should I drag it on like this? It's my duty to raise a child, but what's the point of raising a man? Anyway, there is no love. In fact, we are just like siblings living under the same roof. Why drag it on? My husband said so himself. He said that he hopes I will find another one after the divorce. He doesn't want to drag me down. Anyway, we got married first, and there is no love between each other. I don't want to divorce. I took his job. Would I still be considered a person after the divorce? My family members hope that I will divorce because I hope I can find another one after the divorce so that I can receive the betrothal gifts. can't be cheated. So even though I divorced, I still lived with my ex-husband. I didn't leave home after the divorce, otherwise I would have nowhere to live. But I also thought about it. Even if we are not husband and wife, I have to treat him as a brother. He treats me very well. Although there is no love between us, if I leave him at this moment, what kind of person would I be..."
Bai Fendou listened to her in silence.
Guan Guiling: "I'm really depressed and have no one to talk to. When I saw you, I felt that you were reliable and wanted to talk. Are you tired of listening?"
Bai Fendou asked hurriedly, "Where is it?"
He said, "You are a good woman."
Guan Guiling smiled and said, "I knew you were a good person. You are worthy of being the person I loved when I was a child."
Bai Fendou blushed.
Guan Guiling said quickly: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. I just liked you when I was a child, but I was still a child at that time, how could I understand so much. Now, I am not worthy of anyone in this state. Besides, there is a man at home, hey..."
"Don't talk about that. Let's go eat some buns." Bai Fendou felt that this misfortune only favored the unfortunate. A good woman like Guan Guiling had a really hard life.
Guan Guiling: "Don't eat steamed buns, they are too expensive."
"What's the big deal? I can feed my whole family now. What's the big deal? Let's go."
Guan Guiling: "Well... okay, but you can't buy too many. Just buy one."
"Look at what you're saying."
Although the two had just met, they were so familiar with each other as if they had known each other for decades.
Bai Fendou didn't know how much they had created for everyone. Zhuang Zhixi saw it for real. After the blind date meeting, he rode his bike and responded quickly, saying that today was the weekend and his wife was on vacation at home.
Although there were many substitute conductors on the bus today, Mingmei was not among them.
Who would dare to let a woman who is one to five months pregnant sell tickets on the bus? What if something goes wrong?
Oh, Jiang Baohong dares.
But because of the trouble, Jiang Baohong is now a ticket seller herself, and she can't control others. She is lucky enough to be able to control herself. Because of her bad attitude when selling tickets, she has been beaten by passengers several times.
In fact, most of the people in these service positions have a mediocre attitude, and ordinary people dare not provoke them. Unless they are forced into a desperate situation, who would take action?
Jiang Baohong was able to force someone to attack her, which shows how bad this person is. However, after being beaten a few times, this person has learned to behave himself. If he doesn't behave himself, he will be beaten to death.
Mingmei didn't bother to pay attention to this Jiang Baohong. Anyway, he was not a leader and couldn't bother her.
She is resting as usual today, Sunday, but Zhuang Zhixi is "working overtime" today.
Mingmei followed the aunties and sisters-in-law in the yard to make paper boxes together.
This is what Auntie Wang recently fought for them. Everyone worked very hard. After all, there will be no such thing next year. Such jobs are usually given to poor families. They were able to get it because of the collective efforts to catch thieves at the beginning of the year.
I was going to give them the title of Cash Courtyard, but now...no need to say it.
They made all these troubles, so it was never their turn. But catching thieves was a real achievement, so this year Aunt Wang used this as an excuse to go to the street office to ask for work. The street office also understood that although there were some problems in their compound, they couldn't let a small rat shit affect the whole pot of soup.
The credit for catching the thief together should be given to everyone. After all, it is definitely not enough to give it to the Advanced Compound.
However, Aunt Wang and Zhao Guihua and other women felt very happy to be able to get these jobs. If they had nothing, they would still have to endure it. Now it is considered very good. Everyone can earn some money to supplement their family income by doing these trivial jobs.
Mingmei was helping her mother-in-law Zhao Guihua with work. She did little work and only did it once in a while, so she didn't do it alone. She would hand it over to her mother-in-law after doing a little. Liang Meifen, on the other hand, was quick and nimble, doing the most work among the people, and was very brave.
Mingmei was slow and leisurely, and not in a hurry.
"Is your third child still at work today?" Aunt Sui asked.
Mingmei nodded: "Today is the blind date conference, and he has to go to set up the venue early in the morning. I guess it's almost over?"
"Oh no, isn't this the job of the union and the publicity department? Why do I see Zhou Qun going there too?"
Jiang Lu is here too.
She said: "Our Women's Federation also participated. My husband Zhou Qun was worried about me and said he would go for me. In fact, I think he just wanted to go. People also said that as a pregnant woman, I could rest and not go. But it's good that he went. At least it seems that I didn't use my pregnancy to get special treatment. I didn't go, but my husband went, it's the same."
"Hahaha, if Zhou Qun wants to go, let him go. I think Bai Fendou has gone too."
"Bai Fendou is looking for a partner. I wonder if there is anyone he likes. I heard that most of the people who registered this time are young girls, and there are very few widows. I wonder if he can't find a suitable one?" Someone muttered.
"Can't Bai Fendou just want to find a young girl?"
"He wants to find her, but she doesn't want to find him. He can't force her to do that."
Aunt Zhou: "If you ask me, he is just a fool. Generally, people with poor conditions would not dare to go to the blind date conference. In previous years, no one cared, but this year, no one cared. Zhuang Zhixi was so wicked that he even posted a big list with all the family conditions written down. Generally, people with poor conditions would be too embarrassed to sign up..."
Zhao Guihua: "Who are you saying is immoral?" She threw her slippers over, and Aunt Zhou dodged quickly and finally got away.
She yelled, "Why are you still hitting people?"
Zhao Guihua: "Who told you to slander my son? My son is doing this for the good of everyone. This is written clearly to prevent people from taking advantage of the situation. Otherwise, wouldn't that be cheating? Those who introduce people to other people without telling the truth are all cheating. We are not trying to avoid this kind of thing. In my opinion, everyone should thank my son for his idea. At least let everyone know that it is not just bragging."
"That's true. Some people really don't tell the truth in this blind date."
Aunt Zhou said unhappily, "I was just saying this casually. Besides, I didn't mean to talk about Zhuang Zhixi. I meant Bai Fendou. He shouldn't have gone. In the yard next to us, there's Daqiang..."
"Daqiang?"
Aunt Zhou rolled her eyes: "How brave."
"Oh, him, isn't he single too? Didn't he go?"
Aunt Zhou: "I met him this morning when I was in the toilet. I saw that he hadn't cleaned up at all, so I quickly stopped him and asked him. Guess what happened? He didn't sign up at all. He said that he was a widower and a laborer. Don't you think he's just messing around?"
Zhao Guihua: "I don't agree with this. No matter if your conditions are good or not, if you want to find a partner, you should register. Not everyone looks at the conditions. And there are people with good conditions and people with bad conditions who register. People in the city say that the conditions are not good, so isn't it even harder in the countryside? And sometimes finding a partner is not just about family background."
"It seems what Guihua said is right."
Zhao Guihua: "So I'm saying, if Bai Fendou just wants to find a partner, it's actually right for him to go to a blind date convention."
"Mom, you're right." As she was speaking, she saw Zhuang Zhixi driving back quickly.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Mom, you are absolutely right. After all, who knows when fate will come? Today at the venue, Bai Fendou left with a woman."
"What!"
Everyone was stunned at this moment.
Even Wang Xiangxiu, who was quietly earning extra money, was stunned for a moment, but quickly continued to work, as if this matter had nothing to do with her. Everyone looked at her, and then looked at Zhuang Zhixi, asking: "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Yeah, what's going on?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "I don't know the details, it was a blind date meeting, it seemed like they just fell in love and left."
"I know, I know!" Zhou Qun came back after Zhuang Zhixi. He was very excited. After all, this was big gossip.
He said, "I know that the woman who left with Bai Fendou today is called Guan Guiling. Actually, she was my and Bai Fendou's elementary school classmate. She didn't go there for a blind date today. She's from the bus station union. She came to the venue today saying she was here to help. But she was four hours late. Tsk, it's obvious that she didn't really want to work. She has a husband and four children, but her husband is seriously ill and in poor health. They divorced after she took over, but they didn't leave home and still live together. I found out all this."
"So that's how it is. Then it's not that Bai Fendou and I were attracted to each other. I thought it was that Bai Fendou and I were attracted to each other."
"Oh, that makes sense. It's really hard to find someone like Bai Fendou."
"I guess it's just a reunion among old classmates."
At this time, Comrade Lan Sihai, who had been watching the fun from the side, spoke up quietly: "Who said that a blind date can't be successful if there's a man here?"
Everyone: “What!”
His eyes were as big as bells.
For a moment, it seemed as if he didn't understand what Lan Sihai said.
Lan Sihai said lightly: "You can still marry the new man with the old man."
After that, he said, "Wife, shall we go out for dinner?"
Luo Xiaohe was also in shock. She looked at Lan Sihai in surprise. It took her a long time to react and she said, "Oh, let's go."
The old couple lives a very comfortable life.
People in their compound also envied these two people. They were both elderly people, and their lives were good. Of course, there were some gossips behind their backs, saying that Mr. Lan Sihai was too selfish. Why didn't he think about his children and save more for them?
If you have the ability to help, then of course you should help as much as possible.
But this is really just everyone's idea, not Lan Sihai's. Old man Lan is very cool and carefree. Even when his daughter, oh, Mingmei's mother, came to give him a Mid-Autumn Festival gift, the old man told her not to play tricks and not to bother him.
Look, is this human language?
In short, many people say behind Lan Sihai's back that he is selfish.
But no matter what, Lan Sihai is living a good life.
Look, he's out eating again.
I don’t know why Luo Xiaohe is so lucky. She has worked hard all her life, but now she is blessed with meeting good people when she gets older.
It's really hard to predict a person's luck.
The first half of life has used up all the bad luck in this life, and the second half of life is good. The two of them walked away, and when they reached the door, Lan Sihai looked back at Mingmei and said, "Xiao Ming, I have a kilogram of wool tickets here, what color do you want?"
Mingmei: "Red!"
She didn't even ask, she just took it and said quickly, "If it's possible, I want red, if not, then any other color. Thank you, Grandpa."
Lan Sihai: "It's not free. Let your man come and work for me. Buy me some cabbage and coal briquettes in the next two days. Also, check the roof for me. I heard that heavy snow in the north can bend the roof in winter."
Mingmei: "..."
She said, “I haven’t heard of this.”
There are indeed some minor incidents when it snows heavily every year, but this bending of the roof is a bit exaggerated.
Lan Sihai: "Just let me handle all of this."
Mingmei: "Make sure to complete the task."
Zhuang Zhixi scratched his head and complained, "Grandpa, I'm a living person standing here, why don't you just tell me directly? You just told my wife and asked her to pass it on."
Lan Sihai: "I'd love to."
Hey, this old man!
It's really weird.
Lan Sihai arrogantly left with his wife.
The young sisters-in-law and young wives all looked at Mingmei with envy. It was really a lot to be given a pound of wool for just a little work.
Besides, not everyone has these woolen yarn tickets. Generally, only the middle-level and above in the factory can have them. For example, those who work, whether it is Zhuang Zhixi in the Propaganda Department, Jiang Lu in the Women's Federation, or even Zhuang Laonian, a sixth-level worker in the workshop, do not have this.
Only a master of sophisticated technology like Lan Sihai could have such a skill.
"I don't know whether it is thick thread or thin thread. If it is thin thread, it will be enough to knit a sweater." Thick thread is not enough, but if I save it up, another kilogram will be enough.
It's good to have a relative who is well-off. It doesn't matter if you do some work for him. Who in this compound doesn't buy coal briquettes and cabbage for the old man? Who doesn't sweep the roof? But they don't have any wool.
Everyone was envious of Mao Xian, except Zhou Qun. Only Zhou Qun was still immersed in Lan Sihai's words. At this moment, she suddenly opened her mouth and said, "What does Uncle Lan mean by that?"
"What do you mean? Isn't it just work?"
"That's not it. What I mean is, he said he would marry the new man with the old man...hiss!" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had seen something. Although he had never met Guan Guiling, he felt that it was not impossible.
Otherwise, why would anyone be willing to get involved with Bai Fendou?
This is unreasonable.
Zhuang Zhixi stroked his chin and thought, it seems that what his grandfather said does make some sense.
No one understood, but everyone was deeply shocked.
As expected, as he got older, he had more experience and a broader perspective. You see, ordinary people like them didn't expect that they could do this. But as an experienced and knowledgeable Uncle Lan, he could guess such a thing at once.
At this time, an old lady in the backyard spoke up: "Speaking of which, there were many such cases in the early years. When the man in the family was no longer capable and the woman could not support the family, she would find another man to help out. The man in the family would also acquiesce to it. This is called ganging up."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
Mingmei: "..."
Others: “…”
In short, it's an insight.
Everyone looked at Wang Xiangxiu again. She had done the same thing before, but the matter got out of hand and the two families have no further contact. Wang Xiangxiu has been working quietly and has not expressed any opinions.
Aunt Zhou couldn't help herself and asked, "Wang Xiangxiu, what do you think of this white struggle?"
Wang Xiangxiu said calmly: "It has nothing to do with me. I won't watch it."
She looked up and said, "I just want to work and earn money."
Ever since she knew the truth about her husband's death and Aunt Su's plan, she hated making money from that. She thought, even if it was a little harder, she couldn't get into trouble again. If she got into trouble, then his three children would become wild children and no one would take care of them.
She can do anything, but her child is her life.
Moreover, Wang Xiangxiu knew that she was not innocent, and she also knew that there were countless eyes staring at her, ready to find fault with her.
After all, her mother-in-law used to be that kind of person...
Given his family's current situation, she can only rely on herself.
She looked up and said, "I just want to raise my child well now. I can't get involved in other things."
No one was speechless at this time.
Wang Xiangxiu: "I was sorry for him in the past, but we will not have any contact in the future."
She took a deep breath, stood up and prepared to go home to cook. When she turned around, she saw Tonglai standing at the door. She immediately went over and said, "Let's go, Mom will go cook. I'll bring food to your eldest brother and second brother later."
Tonglai: "Okay."
Tonglai followed Wang Xiangxiu and asked, "Mom, when will they come home?"
Wang Xiangxiu: "Mom doesn't know either. Let's go to the hospital and ask the doctor."
She cut the cabbage, cut a thumb-sized piece of meat into it. Tonglai saw it, swallowed his saliva, and said, "It's meat."
His family used to eat meat quite often, but they haven't eaten it for a long time recently.
Compared to his two older brothers who had no idea what was going on at home, Tonglai followed Wang Xiangxiu throughout the whole process, so he naturally knew everything. He was six or seven years old, which was not too old or too young. He was really young to be ignorant. But even though he was young, he could still understand what was said.
At least Tonglai knew that his father's death was related to his grandmother, and that his grandmother was not a good person. She hid a lot of gold for her old age and refused to treat his brother's illness. He knew all of this.
He also knew that now that the gold had been confiscated, his grandmother and second aunt had been captured, their family was very poor.
"Mother, meat is expensive."
Wang Xiangxiu: "Mom knows, but you are still young and cannot lack nutrition. Besides, your brother is in such a state now, he must be supplemented..."
She finished cooking the dish and suddenly started thinking.
The yellow croaker that her mother-in-law had hidden for her retirement was seized and confiscated. But over the years, her mother-in-law must have cheated the old man a lot. Moreover, her mother-in-law might not have saved a penny when she was young, so what about this money?
She suddenly perked up and began to look around the room.
Because of her mother-in-law's status, their home was searched strictly that day, but nothing special was found in the house, and the big yellow croaker was outside according to Gou Lanxiang's explanation. So, what about the money her mother-in-law saved on weekdays?
"Mother?"
Wang Xiangxiu quickly served some dishes and said, "You eat first, I'll look for home."
She searched carefully, and Tonglai asked, holding the bowl, "Mom, what are you looking for?"
Wang Xiangxiu: "Your grandma's private savings."
In fact, Aunt Su confessed the yellow croaker, and naturally confessed that she also had some private money. However, private money is usually saved, which is different from the yellow croaker earned by exploitation in the old society.
So they didn't confiscate her private money, they only confiscated the yellow croaker.
Because there was no detailed questioning, Aunt Su didn't say anything.
Compared to the many important things she explained, this was just a trivial matter of life, and she did not ask in detail. Wang Xiangxiu also suddenly thought of this. After all, the yellow croaker was too shocking.
Everyone was only thinking about the yellow croaker being confiscated, but they forgot that Aunt Su had some private money.
"Where does your grandma usually hide her money?"
Tonglai shook his head, he didn’t know this.
Wang Xiangxiu was also puzzled. They searched the house but didn't find it. So it should be hidden? After all, her mother-in-law could do such a thing as burying the yellow croaker outside, which showed that this person did not follow the usual way.
It's no wonder Wang Xiangxiu was in a hurry to find money. She had some money originally, but in less than a month, she only had 200 left for the child's hospitalization. After all, both of his children were in particularly serious condition. If he wanted to save his life, he would naturally spend money like water.
Wang Xiangxiu was extremely anxious.
"Mom, grandma always gasps for breath when she gets money for us." Tonglai didn't understand what was going on, but he still wanted to offer some help.
He didn't want his brother to die because he had no money for treatment.
Wang Xiangxiu: "Stop wheezing?"
She suddenly thought, maybe it was at a high place? Maybe he was out of breath because he had to climb high? Thinking of this, she immediately stood up, found a stool and climbed up to the beam. Sure enough, there was a small box on it. Wang Xiangxiu was so excited that she almost fell down. She quickly took the thing down. Tonglai saw that he had found it, and his eyes lit up.
Wang Xiangxiu happily hugged her son and gave him a kiss, saying, "My son is so good. I know my son is the most reliable. Go and have dinner."
Tonglai: "Okay."
He sat down to eat and glanced at his mother. Wang Xiangxiu quickly opened the box.
When she opened it, she bit her lip again. There were quite a few banknotes of different sizes inside.
Not only that, there was also a gold ring.
The gold ring was very smooth, and it was obvious that Aunt Su must have secretly worn it every now and then when she was at home. Wang Xiangxiu hated the old woman even more when she saw this. She used to think she was a good mother-in-law, but now she seemed to be a vicious old woman.
Wang Xiangxiu immediately counted the money, and she was surprised by the number.
My mother-in-law doesn't have a job, but she has more than 800 yuan in pocket money.
You know, a worker can only earn this much after working for two or three years. Thinking of this, Wang Xiangxiu felt that this old lady was really good at making money. She had cheated countless old men.
Wang Xiangxiu felt disgusted, but she also wondered why her mother-in-law didn't tell her about the private money.
Maybe, she felt that she could still come out?
Wang Xiangxiu completely misjudged her mother-in-law, but based on her experience with her mother-in-law, she could understand Aunt Su's thinking to some extent. She didn't say it because she wanted to keep the money for her retirement, as a backup plan.
As for why she confessed the yellow croaker, it should be because she knew that if she didn't confess the important things, people wouldn't believe her. Although she gave up the big one and only kept the small one, at least the public security comrades believed her confession.
This little one stayed.
If she only told about the small ones and not the big ones, the investigation might continue and the big yellow croaker might be caught as well. Then there would be nothing left. This way, at least there is still something.
This person thinks he can still get out.
Wang Xiangxiu curled her lips in disgust.
Her mother-in-law was really cunning. But since the money was in her hands, she had no intention of handing it over. It was just right for the child to be treated. Besides, her son Yinlai was seriously injured this time. He might need to be taken care of in the future, so he needed money.
She clutched the money tightly and said, "Look, your grandma is such a good person, a very good person. She has so much money, but she doesn't give a penny to me."
Not only did he not take it out, he also asked her to sell it.
She actually slept with several men that day to "borrow" money. What Yuan Jun scolded her that day was absolutely true. Her leg was indeed lame because she borrowed too much money that day. She pursed her lips and told herself again that she would be a decent person in the future.
Otherwise, his children wouldn't be able to hold their heads up.
She rubbed her eyes and said, "Let's live a down-to-earth life from now on."
Copper comes gently.
Wang Xiangxiu: "Don't be like your grandma. If you do that, you will end up living in seclusion for the rest of your life."
Tonglai nodded, very seriously.
He didn't want to squat under the fence, not at all.
"Let's go, after we finish eating, let's go to the hospital to deliver the meal."
"good."
The mother and daughter went out together, and the paper box pasting in the yard was finished. Everyone went home to eat, and Tonglai suddenly said, "Mom, I will paste paper boxes with you this afternoon."
Wang Xiangxiu was stunned for a moment, then she laughed and said, "Okay, you help me."
Mingmei ran into Wang Xiangxiu when she came back from the bathroom and greeted her: "Going to the hospital?"
Wang Xiangxiu hummed, then thought of something and said, "Mingmei, my family also wants to raise chickens. Can you help me ask your mother-in-law where she got the old hens. Do you think it's okay?"
She was actually quite scared of associating with Zhao Guihua.
This old lady is really murderous.
Mingmei: "Okay."
She also whispered, "But it doesn't seem cheap."
Wang Xiangxiu: "The product is good and the return on investment is quick." She can calculate.
Some old hens are cheap, but they don't lay eggs well and the return on investment is slow.
Several old ladies in their yard raise chickens, two per family, which is pretty good, and they get a harvest almost every day. Before, his children wanted to steal them, but they failed because they were under close watch. But now she can raise chickens at home.
"Thank you."
Mingmei: "You're welcome."
She went all the way home and returned to the yard. She heard the old hen clucking and saying, "Lay eggs, lay more eggs."
Zhuang Zhixi stood at the door, looked at her with a half-smile, and said, "Are you greedy?"
Mingmei: "No, it was Wang Xiangxiu just now..."
She said this, and then sighed, "In fact, his family should have raised chickens a long time ago. Aunt Su didn't want to raise chickens even if she had nothing to do. It was because she was lazy."
After all, you have to be more careful.
Zhuang Zhixi: “That’s right.”
The two of them walked in together. Zhuang Zhixi leaned in front of his wife and said, "You know Guan Guiling, right? You work in the same unit."
Just now in the yard, he didn't ask directly because he was afraid that his wife would not be able to explain it.
Mingmei nodded: "I know her."
She thought about it again and said accurately: "Actually, I don't know him, but I know he exists. I can see him sometimes, but I'm not familiar with him."
Zhuang Zhixi: "She is looking for Bai Fendou..."
Mingmei pondered for a moment and said, "I think what my grandfather said is right, and what Zhou Qun said is also right. Nine times out of ten, it is what everyone thinks. I also heard at work that Guan Guiling is looking for a partner again, but she wants to take her ex-husband with her when she gets married."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I am really a weed (a kind of plant). Is this something a human could come up with?"
Mingmei blinked and said, "Don't use bad words, what if the baby learns from you?"
She rubbed her belly and said, "We need to speak civilly."
Zhuang Zhixi said sincerely: "It's okay. Our two babies were very knowledgeable when they were in the womb. They have seen everything. Aren't these things just a piece of cake?"
Mingmei: “…”
She said: "Although I don't want to admit it, I think what you said makes sense."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed, hugged his wife and said, "Let's go."
Mingmei poked his waist and asked, "Now that we know this, should we tell Bai Fendou?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "That's not necessary. After all, many people have thought of it and will naturally tell it. Besides, since Guan Guiling wants to marry with her ex-husband, there's no way she wouldn't tell Bai Fendou."
After a pause, he continued, "Besides, these are all speculations now. We haven't made any final decision yet. Maybe she didn't bring it, and we are wrongly accusing her."
Mingmei: “That’s right.”
She said softly, "But I think Bai Fendou is pretty amazing. He always attracts weird women."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
