Chapter 1 It doesn't matter who you go on a blind date with.
"..."
“My parents raised me with great difficulty and suffered a lot when they were young. After we get married, you must remember to be filial to my parents, don’t talk back to them or argue with them, and just listen to whatever my mother says.”
“You’re a middle school teacher, your monthly salary must be over a hundred, right? After we get married, your salary will be given to my mother.”
“My mom manages all the money in our family. If you need to buy anything in the future, just ask my mom for money.”
"Also, I'm the only son in our family, so after we get married, you must have a son too. If you get pregnant with a girl, you have to abort and try again until you give birth to a son..."
"besides……"
The man opposite me talked on and on, each sentence more rambling than the last.
Jiang Jianni, unable to bear it any longer, made a pause gesture: "Stop."
The man looked at her with displeasure: "Women can't interrupt when men are speaking. That's our family rule. But since you didn't know that and this is your first time breaking the rule, I won't hold it against you. Just say what you want to say."
The other person spoke with such a condescending tone that Jiang Jianni just wanted to give him a good laugh.
After holding back for a long time, I finally couldn't help but ask:
"You must have a son. Is your family a throne to inherit, so you have to have a son?"
"Whether a child is a boy or a girl is determined by the man's sperm, it has nothing to do with the woman. Since you want a son so badly, why don't you just have one yourself?"
"Or is it that someone else took the college entrance exam for you, or you simply used someone else's name to get into college, so you don't even know something you should know in high school?"
"Your parents suffered when they were young, you should blame your grandparents and your parents for being incompetent. What does it have to do with me?"
"You're supposed to be filial to your parents? Did they give birth to me and raise me, or did they have to be filial to their own son just because he's dead?"
The man got even angrier: "How dare you talk like that? Did you waste your college education?"
Jiang Jianni retorted bluntly, "University taught me how to acquire knowledge to make a living, but it didn't teach me how to be an idiot."
"Besides, we were just on a blind date, not that I'm going to marry you, so why are you making such a fuss?"
The man's face turned ashen: "You..."
Jiang Jianni didn't give him a chance to speak: "Stop with the 'you, you, you'. Since you haven't weaned, go home and continue drinking your mother's milk. Don't embarrass yourself in public."
"Shameful."
After saying that, she slung her small bag over her shoulder and walked out.
The man was so angry he was jumping up and down, but he didn't know what to do, so he shouted, "Jiang Jianni, a woman like you will never get married!"
Jiang Jianni gave him the middle finger without turning her head.
The group of people who had been eavesdropping nearby could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.
The man angrily yelled at them, "Laugh your mother's ass!"
One of the men immediately stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and said in a gruff voice, "What did you say? Say it again!"
When he saw that man's 1.9-meter-tall, double-door frame, his face immediately turned pale, and he quickly fled in panic.
The tall man spat at him, "Coward."
The group started laughing and joking again.
Jiang Jiani was amused by this.
Honestly, having traveled back to the 1990s, aside from the supposedly abundance of business opportunities that she hadn't yet discovered herself, she didn't think there was anything good about this place.
There were no cell phones, no internet, no Taobao, no Pinduoduo, no Bilibili, and no literary websites.
She went from being an only child to one of four siblings.
Jiang Jiani had only one feeling: frustration, all kinds of frustration.
The only consolation is that the original owner was also a college graduate and had a job as a middle school teacher that many people envied.
She bought an ice pop and took a big, big bite.
It was as if they wanted to swallow all this pent-up frustration.
Putting everything else aside, the popsicles from 1990 were really good.
There's not much technology or hard work involved.
The popsicles cost 50 cents each, and they're made entirely of milk, without a trace of artificial flavoring.
Jiang Jianni was happily sipping her popsicle when she heard people talking as she walked to a relatively quiet spot in the park.
"No, a house is a must."
“You have four brothers, none of whom are married, and you are often away on missions. I live under the same roof as your three brothers. You don’t trust me, but I do not.”
"I also need a TV, refrigerator, and washing machine; I have to have what everyone else has."
"The bride price is six thousand, not a penny less."
"My cousin asked for 8,000 yuan in betrothal gifts when she got married. I'm already being very understanding by asking for 6,000 yuan. If I ask for less, how can I save face?"
"These are my conditions. Think it over carefully."
All I could hear was the woman's voice firing off rapidly, but I couldn't hear the man's voice.
Within seconds, the two seemed unable to reach an agreement and parted ways in anger.
The person who made the sound came out and glared at Jiang Jianni, who was sitting on a bench munching on an ice pop. Jiang Jianni gave an awkward smile.
The girl ignored her and hurried away.
Not long after, the man who had barely said a few words also came out.
Jiang Jiani's eyes lit up when she saw it.
In the 1990s, people's living standards had just improved, but their nutrition had not kept up. Being 1.7 meters tall was considered tall.
Very few are over 1.8 meters tall.
But this man, judging by his height alone, is probably over 1.88 meters tall.
Jiang Jianni's height after transmigrating was 1.68 meters, which was already considered tall, but compared to this person, she looked petite and delicate.
Moreover, this person had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, broad shoulders and narrow hips, and a straight figure. Even though his skin was tanned to a wheat color, which slightly detracted from his appearance, his upright and imposing aura overshadowed the lack of skin color, making him appear very righteous.
The man noticed her surprise but didn't think much of it and prepared to leave.
After walking only two or three steps, Jiang Jianni caught up with him and stopped him.
Lu Xiangyang was a little surprised: "Is something the matter?"
Jiang Jianni blinked, not understanding how she suddenly found herself standing in front of him, but she wouldn't back down, so she asked with a grin, "Comrade, are you here for a blind date too?"
Lu Xiangyang frowned: "So what if it is?"
Jiang Jianni pointed back at herself: "I also came here for a blind date, but the other party is a mama's boy. His family probably has a throne to inherit. He's not looking for a wife but choosing a concubine, so the meeting fell apart."
"Would you be interested in having another match with me?"
Lu Xiangyang was taken aback: "Another matchmaking session?"
Jiang Jianni shrugged: "Anyway, everyone's here to find a partner. It doesn't matter who you meet, right? There's no rule that you have to meet someone introduced by a relative, is there?"
"Maybe we are destined to be together."
