Chen Xiangnan has been very distressed recently. Although his wife has died, he thinks that his conditions are still acceptable.
Although he didn't have a job, he still had some money. Although this was his second marriage, he only had one daughter. His parents were at home, and although they couldn't help much, outsiders didn't know about it.
However, when the matchmaker came to his house and told his mother that she wanted to introduce him to a girl, his mother just smiled and sent the person away.
He didn't know why other people's parents were so concerned about this kind of thing, but his mother was different. It seemed that his mother wanted him to be a bachelor.
Over time, no one cared about him finding a partner, and he became the second bachelor in their compound.
The first one was naturally Hu Jie, who had been single for several years and had no plans to remarry. The second one was originally thought to be Xiao Ma, after all, he was physically and mentally ill, but who would have thought that he actually had a wife.
It seems that I have to rely on myself. Images of several girls flashed through Chen Xiangnan's mind, but they were too good and he was a little hesitant to try.
The other party's parents will definitely not agree. What if he spends too much money in the early stage and ends up with nothing? It would be a big loss for him.
Chen Xiangnan had a bad start today and was almost caught by the Red Guards. He didn't sell half of his things.
He brought home about ten eggs. There were not enough eggs at home, and only his daughter Lingling had one every day, so he bought all the eggs.
When he turned the corner into the alley where he had spoken to Zhao Hui, he found that there were people inside, and just like when he did, there was a man and a woman.
Chen Xiangnan immediately jumped off his bicycle, moved it back a little, then hid behind the water tank where his mother had hidden, and started listening to gossip.
He knew the man. He was Wang Dahai, the eldest son of Aunt Wang in their compound.
Speaking of Aunt Wang's family, it is also a hot topic in the compound.
Aunt Wang’s father was once the section chief of the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology. He was assigned here after retiring from the army.
He only had one daughter, Aunt Wang, which was very rare in that era.
He was really well-off, so many people set their sights on him, but he had no intention of remarrying and rejected many of them.
Later, he directly found a son-in-law for his daughter. He was a man he had observed for a long time and had set his eyes on.
A man whose parents are both dead but takes over his father's job.
After Aunt Wang's husband married into the family, everyone took Aunt Wang's surname and called him Uncle Wang/Brother Wang. Aunt Wang's father had only one request for him, which was to be good to his daughter for the rest of his life.
Uncle Wang swore on the spot that if he treated Aunt Wang badly, he would let lightning strike his family’s ancestral grave.
After hearing this, Aunt Wang’s father felt that this child was a ruthless person and would definitely have a great future.
Uncle Wang is also a genius. After he climbed up the big tree of Aunt Wang's father, he started to act rotten.
Although Aunt Wang's father, the section chief, sounds useless, he actually has a say in various aspects. Although he has retired from the army, the friendship with his former comrades still remains.
These are destined to allow Uncle Wang to obtain more resources.
When a normal person has so many resources, even if he doesn't work hard, he will always want to be a small leader.
But Uncle Wang is different. He used to perform well in the factory, but after getting married, he started to slack off. He would not do anything if he could avoid it, and he would not take exams if he could avoid it.
After so many years, his level has remained unchanged.
At first, he was younger than Old Chen, but he was at the same level as him. But now, even a fool like Old Chen can become a small leader, and he is about to be promoted soon, but what about him?
He was still that extremely lazy man. Even Aunt Wang felt that she had chosen the wrong person before her father died.
Their family had four sons, but two of them died at a very young age.
Fortunately, Aunt Wang was strong-willed and got a good job with the help of her father. Otherwise, their family would have been penniless after her father's death.
Although Uncle Wang is not ambitious, he is good at managing household affairs. He firmly adheres to the idea that as a son-in-law, the woman should be the breadwinner and the man should be the homemaker.
He always puts Aunt Wang first, smiles at people and seems easy to get along with.
If they had not lived with him for several years, they would definitely not have known that he could fight with a salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative because the fat and lean meats were the same price but the salesperson gave him more lean meat.
These days, fatty meat is more popular than lean meat and most of the time it is more expensive than lean meat.
In the end, they even ended up in the police station. In the station, he argued confidently and used his twisted logic to leave the police speechless.
After Shengli got the meat he wanted, he straightened his clothes, shook hands with the other party and apologized, saying that his language was too extreme and confused everyone.
After getting the upper hand, he returned to his usual gentle and refined demeanor.
This was something they only knew after having been his neighbors for several years, but Aunt Wang's feelings about her cheap husband were even more difficult to describe.
For example, after Uncle Wang made a big fuss at the Public Security Bureau, he came back politely. After closing the door, he cut the meat beautifully, put it in a basin, and brought the basin to the table. He also sat aside, waiting for his wife and children who were taking a nap to wake up.
The meat was placed in a position where they could see it as soon as they left the room, and he was ready to listen to the compliments and sat in this position for two hours.
At that time, Aunt Wang's youngest son, Wang Dahe, was still a child. He had just woken up and wanted to pee when he saw his father with a stiff face, smiling at him. This frightened him so much that he peed directly, leaving a traumatic impression on him. Influenced by this, he rarely smiled when he grew up, and had a dull face.
In the end, Uncle Wang was chased around the yard several times by Aunt Wang with a broom, and was also ordered not to eat meat.
Things like this are no longer uncommon in Aunt Wang's family.
Apart from Old Ma, the person who is most concerned about the children's marriage in the compound is Aunt Wang. She just wants to find a gentle, kind, and understanding normal person to be her son's wife.
There are so many abnormal people in their compound that sometimes Aunt Wang even wonders if normal people are a rare species in their city.
But when I look at the young girls and boys in the factory, I feel that there are actually quite a lot of normal people. I just don’t know why there are so many abnormal people concentrated in their compound.
Whenever you look up, you will see a weirdo there.
Therefore, Aunt Wang had very low requirements for finding a wife for her eldest son. She just wanted a normal woman who could make reasonable decisions and not do anything strange.
But under such conditions, any matchmaker could have introduced many girls to their family, and Aunt Wang had taken her eldest son to meet several of them.
Every time he went out to see the girl, she was normal, but the next time she would either say she didn't want to see her son anymore, or she would suddenly get sick, or various things would cause problems, or she would suddenly act abnormally when she came to their compound.
Sometimes, Aunt Wang also wondered if the feng shui of their compound was bad.
She felt very bitter, but she didn't dare to talk about such things casually, so her eldest son is now a little older and still hasn't found a wife.
