Chapter 164: I'm a grown-up now (seeking votes)
"If you want to study medicine, I would recommend going to Huaqing University."
Shen Jintao gave her own suggestions.
"good!"
With a decision made, Shen Jidong was no longer so conflicted. The young man looked high-spirited, which was great!
The next day, Chen Jintao and Huo Beichuan went out to buy things early in the morning. After all, there were a lot of things needed for the banquet. If they couldn't buy that much meat, Huo Beichuan planned to go up the mountain to have a look. He couldn't just be stingy.
Xu Xuemei's business has been suspended, so Huo Chenggong just makes bamboo cups when he is free at home. Sometimes Shen Jianmin also helps. Because both families want to play with Dabao and Erbao, today they are all in the yard of old Shen's house.
There are very few in-laws like them who have a close relationship like a family, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
Just at this moment, a person walked in from outside the door. She had a big mole above her lips, her eyes were shining, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was very bright and looked very flattering.
Everyone in the room was surprised to see the person coming.
"Sister Xiang, how come you have time to come to my house?"
Xu Xuemei was relatively polite to her, mainly because Sister Xiang was a well-known matchmaker in the surrounding villages. Although feudal superstition was cracked down in recent years, it was still a tacit matter. Whenever a boy fell in love with a girl, they would ask Sister Xiang for help in matchmaking.
Mrs. Xiang also helped bring together many couples, no matter whether they were good or bad, at least everyone was happy at the beginning.
"Oh, what do you think I can do here? I was planning to go to Guifen's house first, but I didn't expect them to come to your place. It's a good opportunity, so I'll tell you everything."
Mrs. Xiang was a talkative woman and she quickly explained the situation clearly, which was that Huo Dongsheng and Shen Jidong had both been admitted to universities in Beijing, and many families had become interested in them.
"Both your two families have promising futures. Many people came to me this time to ask me for help. I looked around and saw a few very good girls. I planned to talk to you and see if you have this idea."
Xu Xuemei and Liu Guifen both frowned, especially Xu Xuemei, who really didn't expect that someone would have been eyeing their boy so early.
Liu Guifen didn't find it strange. After all, after Huo Nanxi went to the town to work as a chef, people would come to the house from time to time to talk about it. But now her son was about to go to Beijing to study, and it was uncertain what would happen in the future. Liu Guifen had no intention of letting her son get married so early.
After all, mothers have filters for their children. Her son can go to school in Beijing. Not to mention finding a girl from a well-off family in the future, Liu Guifen still hopes that her son can find someone he likes and with whom she has common topics.
"The children are still young, and they will be away for three or four years at university. I don't want Dongsheng to settle down so early. When he goes to school, it will delay the girl's marriage. The two of them basically won't see each other, so they can't develop any feelings. Let's forget it for now." Liu Guifen said.
Xu Xuemei also nodded. "Let alone my Dongzi. He is still young, so let's not consider it for now."
Mrs. Xiang was a little anxious. The families who came to her this time were all very generous. If she could really get one of them, she could make a lot of money.
The attitudes of both of them were clear rejection, so Mrs. Xiang was of course anxious.
"Oh, what's the big deal? It's the same thing if we get engaged first and then get married after they finish college, right?"
"They have to settle down with good girls early, otherwise when they come back from college, the good girls will have been picked up by others!"
Mrs. Xiang also tried to persuade them.
Huo Dongsheng and Shen Jidong were both a little stunned. They didn't expect this to happen.
As a result, the two had just looked at each other when Xiang's wife spoke to the two boys, "Dongsheng, Dongzi, you two are not young anymore. Dongzi will be 17 years old next year. You should get engaged. After you finish college, you can get married. It's great to have a wife and children and live happily together!"
Shen Jidong was obviously shocked by Sister Xiang’s remarks, “Aunt, I’m still young and haven’t thought about these things.”
"How can you still be young? You're already a grown man..." Mrs. Xiang was unwilling to accept it, but seeing that Shen Jidong had no idea at all, she might as well put her hope on Huo Dongsheng. Huo Dongsheng would be 19 years old next year. She didn't believe that such a young man would not be thinking about women. He was really full of vigor and vitality at this age.
"Dongsheng, I won't talk about Dongzi. He is indeed younger than you, but you are different. You know Cuicui from our brigade, right? The one from your Aunt Huang's family, oh, the little girl is so pretty, I don't know how many guys are dreaming about her, but she has taken a fancy to you. If you are willing, I will talk to your Aunt Huang, and then you two can get engaged. Isn't this a double happiness for you?"
Huo Dongsheng also felt like he was struck by lightning. He knew Zhu Cuicui. She was indeed pretty, but she was by no means beautiful. She could only be said to be not ugly.
The key point is that he really has no feelings for that girl. Most importantly, they have never had much contact before, so why did she fall for him?
"Aunt, I really don't want to date someone. Even if I want to date someone, I want to date a college student who is good-looking."
Huo Dongsheng felt that he had to make his words clear. In fact, he had just made up this condition casually. Huo Dongsheng himself didn't even know what his future marriage partner would be like.
He thinks that you have to like it first. If you like it, two people can be happy together, right?
If he likes someone, he will like her no matter what she looks like, but at least he has not met the person he wants to spend his life with. If he agrees just because the matchmaker says a few words and gets engaged to that girl, and then meets someone he really likes, wouldn't he be letting down both girls?
Huo Dongsheng was unwilling to do so. He wanted to be like his elder brother and find someone he truly loved. Look how happy his elder brother is now.
Although he is still a young boy who has never been in a relationship, Huo Dongsheng has his own ideas in mind.
"Oh, you kid..." Mrs. Xiang has been a matchmaker for so many times and has encountered some difficult ones, but it is rare to find someone as casually as Huo Dongsheng who says the type he likes. The key point is that it is really hard to find someone like Huo Dongsheng.
Pretty people are not necessarily educated, educated people are not necessarily college students, and even if they are college students, they are not necessarily pretty. "Aren't your requirements too high?"
