This is about her biological father in her previous life. When Xu Manman was in school, there were some good-looking boys in the school. Xu Manman was eager to fall in love early, but was ruthlessly stopped by her parents.
After she graduated, she was still young, and her mother wanted her to have a relationship and settle down early. Her father was not in a hurry to marry his daughter at that time, so he used the fact that fate had not yet arrived to get rid of her mother.
As a result, this fate had not yet come when she was nearly 30 years old. By then, her father could no longer say such words. He worried about her marriage every day and his face had many more wrinkles.
Now that I think about it, the word "fate" is really something mysterious.
In the past, she thought these two words were the most deceptive things in the world. Since she activated the system and her dormant memories awakened, she discovered that fate was truly wonderful.
…
On Monday morning, Chen Ming called his mother before going to school. Because it was in the office, the details were not detailed, but the meaning was conveyed. His aunt excitedly said that she would increase the funding for her eldest son.
After all, no matter what era it is, when in love, it is never wrong for the man to be willing to spend money and face.
Not long after, Xu Manman also received feedback from Zhou Ming's mother. The woman was also very satisfied with Chen Ming. If possible, she hoped to settle down before graduation.
However, as a cousin, Xu Manman couldn't make the decision on this matter. She could only convey the matter to her eldest cousin. The specific situation needed to be discussed by both parties.
As for Xu Manman herself, she supports Chen Ming's relationship. After all, she was the one who facilitated this matter. But her idea is to date for a year or two first, and then get married after graduation and finding a job, when the time, place and people are right.
But she didn't take into account that this was an era where family planning would soon be needed to control the population. The seemingly conservative Chinese people had given birth to over one billion people. It was common for couples to get married after just two meetings, and it was extremely rare for them to date for a year or two.
However, both parties were very satisfied. Apart from assisting, Xu Manman did not plan to do anything extra. Her uncle and aunt were also there, and the elders would make the decisions on major matters.
At this stage, Chen Ming and Zhang Wenjun are in a confirmed romantic relationship. Since their schools are not close to each other, they basically cannot see each other from Monday to Friday. They rely on letters and have become pen pals from a good relationship.
But looking at Chen Ming's secretly happy expression when he received the letter, he must be enjoying it too.
As soon as they started dating, Xu Manman started going out more often. On weekends, when they went to the park, Zhang Wenjun and Chen Ming both brought their sisters with them. The young couple walked in front, and the two light bulbs followed closely behind, shining brightly.
There is no way around it. The current atmosphere is still relatively conservative. Couples are not allowed to walk hand in hand on the street, otherwise they will be considered hooliganism. In a few years, when the domestic situation becomes serious, the crime of hooliganism will be directly prosecuted. Therefore, the sweet love of young couples nowadays is very subtle, at least in front of others.
Even if they walk side by side, they are still an arm's length apart. Pulling on siblings or friends to provide cover is basically basic practice.
Over time, Xu Manman and Zhang Wenhua, the two third wheelers, developed a deep friendship.
Zhang Wenhua licked the popsicle in his hand and looked at the two people not far away. "Manman, are you still going to the island during the summer vacation?"
Xu Manman also had a popsicle in her hand. "Well, my aunt wrote to me about it, but I still have to go back to Hai City first and stay at home for a few days."
"That's great. I've never left Beijing since I was a child."
"So what do you do on your days off?"
"Well... I just stay home, make some matchboxes, and go out for a walk when I have time."
"Actually, I don't like going out that much. Even if I go to the island, I stay indoors because the sun is too strong at the beach." Although she is not afraid of getting tanned this year, she still doesn't like sunbathing.
"Do you live by the sea? Can you go swimming in the sea every day?" Zhang Wenhua had never seen the sea in his life.
"My house is not far from the sea. I can see the sea from my yard. But I can't swim, so I go to the beach to pick up shells and crabs."
"I can't swim either, but doesn't the book say that seawater is very dense and you can float just by lying flat on your back?"
"The sea water is also very heavy. If someone who can't swim is knocked over, it will be difficult to stand up." She used to be like this. The water was only up to her chest, but she was knocked over by the waves. No matter how she doggy-paddled, she couldn't stand up and almost suffocated. Thinking about it now, she feels stupid and scared.
Zhang Wenhua nodded thoughtfully, "I don't know when I can see the real ocean."
