The two of them had been hanging out like this for a long time, and Xu Manman also learned from Yang Yang about her "gains" from her fourth sister Li Xiaochun's wedding.
In the cafeteria, Yang Yang rubbed his full stomach with satisfaction, "That man is my fourth brother-in-law's comrade-in-arms, now a company commander, four years older than me. He's from Hunan Province, in the countryside below Yuan City. His parents are still alive. He's the eldest of three brothers, but his two younger brothers are married now.
He is also considering changing his career now, but he said that it is unlikely to go to Beijing, and the most likely destination is Hunan Province...Yuan City.
That's all I know, youngest, can you help me take a look at this... is it okay?"
Ever since the pen pal incident, she has not been very confident in her judgment of people. She had met a fellow villager in the calligraphy club before, but she was not interested in it at that time, and he did not have that interest either, so there was no chemistry between them and they just treated each other as ordinary friends.
She thought that since she had seen it in advance, it was better than going home to go on a blind date without knowing anything, so she stayed and attended her fourth sister's wedding. She saw the man at first sight.
Well, she is a bit obsessed with looks.
Xu Manman, who had little experience in love, naturally could not give her any reference and could only analyze the problem from a realistic perspective.
"Because he's your fourth brother-in-law's comrade-in-arms, he won't risk being exposed to deceive you, so the information he tells you is most likely true."
Yang Yang added, "He only told me that his hometown was Hunan Province and his current rank. Most of the other information was obtained by my fourth sister through asking my fourth brother-in-law, and some was written in his letters to me."
Xu Manman frowned, and after thinking about it, she understood. This wasn't a blind date, so who would spend all their family savings on the first meeting?
"So, let's just focus on this basic information and analyze it one by one, regardless of anything else."
Yang Yang sat up straight and waited seriously for Xu Manman's next words.
Feeling that just saying it wasn't detailed enough, she took out a pen and paper and began to write, "First, age. You're 23, so he's 27. From here, let's analyze the following information.
First, his hometown is in the countryside. Although there are restrictions on obtaining marriage certificates now, many people get married in their teens, and the pressure is especially high in the countryside.
Yang Yang nodded. Before she took the college entrance examination, her family had been trying to arrange a blind date for her. If she hadn't been admitted to university, she would have been married by now. Even though she is still studying now, not to mention her parents, even her relatives are urging her to get married.
"He is the eldest in the family. Although being away from home for years as a soldier will limit his chance of finding a partner, during his non-commissioned officer period, unless there are special circumstances, he will have a period of home leave every year. If he has a good relationship with his family, he will go back to his hometown at this time.
At this time, his parents will definitely find a way to arrange for him, and..."
At this point, Xu Manman glanced at Yang Yang and said, "He's not bad looking, and the salary allowance for non-commissioned officers is a bit higher than that of ordinary workers. With his conditions, if nothing else, he's very popular in the countryside."
When Yang Yang heard that she was not bad looking, he secretly admired Xu Manman. She had never even seen her, but she could still know this.
"In this situation, since his two younger brothers are married but he's still single, there are several possible scenarios: First, he's been married before but is now single for unknown reasons; second, he doesn't have a close relationship with his family, so no one is there to support him; third, he's focused on his career and had no plans to start a family; fourth, he has a hidden illness."
Yang Yang widened her eyes. She had never thought about what Xu Manman said.
"Let's look at them one by one. Military marriages are known to require political review, and divorces and widowhood are all recorded. As a close comrade who was able to attend the wedding, my fourth brother-in-law should be very clear about this person's personal situation. Since he didn't mention it, then the first point is not true.
Furthermore, soldiers undergo regular physical examinations, and their health conditions are recorded, so this person shouldn't have any of the hidden illnesses he appears to have, so the fourth one doesn't hold true. However, to be on the safe side, you'll need to ask Fourth Sister for further confirmation on these two."
Yang Yang nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Manman didn't follow the order. "If it's the third point, then it means that this person has very high demands on himself and also on his partner. With your knowledge and family background, it seems that you meet his requirements at the moment. This is a relatively satisfactory result.
Now let's look at the second and third points. If you and him really get along in the second point, you'll face more serious relationships with the mother-in-law and the sisters-in-law. After all, he's already at odds with his family, and his family isn't treating his wife any better.
