Ding Chong was startled. Isn't this the niece of Director Qiao who came to South Island to work in the countryside? He had seen her twice before.
Even though they all know each other, you can't introduce her niece to him.
Considering that he had just angered Su Ying and she ran away, Ding Chong felt that his refusal was not tactful enough and that there was something wrong with his attitude.
He said, "Girl, I am thirty-nine this year."
Of course Qiao Lanlan knew what Lao Ding was thinking. He felt that he was too old to bother with a young girl.
But Qiao Lanlan was reborn, and her mental age is about the same as Lao Ding.
She said, "Comrade Ding, I'm not going to hide the truth from you. I'm in trouble. You should know that my aunt and uncle are going to be transferred soon. Once they leave, I will have no relatives here to protect me. The son of the farm director has been pestering me, and I need to find someone to agree to marry."
"I also know that your ex-mother-in-law's family has not given up and wants to choose a daughter from their family for you to marry. You disagree, and they insist on pestering you. So I will help you fend off peach blossoms, and you help me fend off a wave of scumbags. Do you think that's okay?"
Lao Ding was indeed annoyed by the harassment of his ex-mother-in-law and her family. They even called him over last time and put drugs in his tea, trying to make it a fait accompli. Fortunately, he noticed it.
The girl's suggestion was not impossible. He asked her to think it over carefully. "Although it is a marriage agreed upon for mutual benefit, if you get married and divorced, you will be married for the second time."
Qiao Lanlan thought that once she got married she would not get divorced, so she tore up the marriage certificate first to make it legal.
"I've thought about it, and I also want to make a request. My parents in Beijing want 800 yuan as a betrothal gift. This money is like throwing meat buns at a dog, and it will never come back. Can you pay the betrothal gift first? I will pay you back later."
Of course it costs money to marry a wife. Lao Ding has some savings, so he told Qiao Lanlan that she doesn't have to pay it back, and told her not to feel any psychological burden.
"Then it's settled. I'm shy, so please don't tell anyone about it before the wedding, okay?"
"You're not trying to hide this from your aunt, are you?" Old Ding felt something was wrong.
Qiao Lanlan did not hide it from him, "But I don't like Captain Han. My aunt asked me to go on a blind date with him because she wanted to establish a relationship with the Han family, but I want to find a safe haven. You are the right man."
Old Ding thought about it and it made sense. Han Jingyuan had just ended a marriage by agreement, and if he started another one, his father would be so angry that he would die.
"But if I file the marriage report, your uncle will know about it. What if he objects?"
"Don't worry about it. I'll go ask my uncle for help myself."
…
Not to mention the blind date in the private room upstairs, after Su Ying went downstairs, she saw many military officers and female soldiers from the art troupe in the auditorium, shyly having blind dates face to face.
Such social gatherings are not common.
It would be better to wait in this auditorium and see if there are any gay men willing to come and meet her.
Soldiers in the army are always more reliable than men outside.
Su Ying felt that her requirements were not high. Character was definitely the primary criterion, and the second was that he had to be handsome, at least not worse than the Lao Ding she had just met. She also had to be able to register with the army and have two children. She did not have any other requirements.
She is not bad looking, so these requests are not excessive. Why don’t any men come to her for a blind date?
Su Ying looked around and saw many men secretly looking at her blushing, but none of them had the courage to approach her and talk to her.
These gay men are too shy!
Lao Ding also said that she had good conditions, so why didn’t anyone take the initiative to go on a blind date with her? Bullshit, Lao Ding was lying to her.
Su Ying no longer had any hope.
Gu Zhinan thought that he and Cancan must be in the way, so he wanted to disappear with Cancan.
He was much more sensible than other children of his age, but he was also sensitive and suspicious. Seeing that no one came to talk to his sister, he took the initiative to say, "Sister, Cancan and I will go to the terrace over there to play for a while."
Su Ying guessed his thoughts and said with a smile: "Those older brothers feel that they are not worthy of your sister's beauty and dare not approach her. They are all upright and good people. It's not your problem."
Gu Cancan sighed and said, "Mom, you are so beautiful that you scared the uncles."
Su Ying smiled helplessly. She looked even more beautiful when she smiled. The corners of her watery eyes slightly raised. The young man who had just peeked at her turned his head away and blushed.
Su Ying knew that with her appearance, in the eyes of her elders, she was not worthy of being a virtuous woman suitable for a family.
It's too tempting, no elder would like it.
But don’t men like it too?
Why doesn't any man take the initiative?
In just a short while, she saw three or four couples in the auditorium.
Su Ying thought why not she take the initiative.
At this time, a man came down from the second floor. He was the comrade who helped her buy the ticket on the bus yesterday.
He was still in military uniform, and his handsome face overshadowed all the other men and women in the auditorium.
When Han Jingyuan saw Su Ying, he also stood at the stairs in a daze.
Su Ying couldn't help but smile when she thought of Cancan saying that he wanted to find a new father who was better looking than his old father.
Seeing this smile, the man who was originally too shy to step forward mustered up the courage to come over.
Han Jingyuan came over and greeted Su Ying, "Hello, Comrade Su."
Su Ying wondered if this was the alternative blind date that Director Qiao introduced to her?
Otherwise, how would I know her name?
Thinking that she still owed her three cents, Su Ying took out the money and returned it to him, "Just right, I owe you the money for the ticket yesterday."
Han Jingyuan laughed, "Three cents, why don't you just forget it."
"How can that be calculated? You have to pay back every penny. Just take it."
There were three one-cent coins in Su Ying's palm, which made her palm look even whiter.
Han Jingyuan's fingers were out of control and he picked up the three coins two or three times before he finally moved them from Su Ying's palm into his own.
His ears were already red, he lowered his eyes slightly and asked, "Did your blind date... go well?"
"If things don't go well, people will look down on me."
"How come?"
Han Jingyuan was surprised, wondering if Old Ding was mentally ill.
"But the other party just doesn't like me, and the men in this hall also look down on me. You see, no one took the initiative to talk to me. Maybe it's because I brought two children with me."
This is definitely not the reason, Han Jingyuan thought. Everyone is embarrassed to come over because they think Su Ying won't like them.
He himself thought so too.
So the question about whether I wanted to go on a blind date was stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter it.
…
The atmosphere froze, the two of them stood there awkwardly, and Han Jingyuan refused to leave.
Su Ying could only ask, "Your blind date wasn't going well, was it?"
"Well, I waited for a while, but didn't see anyone." Han Jingyuan answered truthfully.
Su Ying thought that he was stood up.
Those who can go to the private room on the second floor for a blind date are all introduced by a middleman in advance. If this doesn't work, it means there is no destiny.
Just like her and Comrade Ding Chong, they cannot force it.
Su Ying felt a little depressed. The view on blind dates and love in this world was really different from that in other worlds. Those who were too good-looking would not have smooth sailing.
It would be nice if we could have a marriage by agreement, where we don't have to fulfill our marital obligations.
It’s best to come up with an agreement to raise a child.
However, you can only think about this kind of good thing in your mind, and there is a high probability that you will not encounter it.
Especially when this man with a cold temperament stood next to her, those gay men who had glanced at her from time to time before didn't even dare to look at her now.
Su Ying felt that today's blind date would fail and planned to take her child back home first.
Han Jingyuan suddenly turned his head and asked, "Comrade Su, do you want to agree to raise the baby?"
Su Ying turned her head and looked at him. There was a serious look on his handsome face, and it didn't seem like he was joking.
She asked doubtfully, "You have children to raise, too?"
Han Jingyuan nodded, "Two."
Su Ying thought this was fine, and the man was handsome and tall, which far exceeded her basic requirements.
Let’s talk about it.
