result
At that time, the country implemented a one-day-off system. Except for the service industry, most units closed on Sundays, so there were not many people in the hospital today.
It was only after 11 o'clock when the two of them finished all the examinations. Because they were in different departments, the results came out one after another. When they finished the examinations, there were still two results that had not come out. And it was almost time to get off work, and it was estimated that the results would not be available until the afternoon, so after leaving the hospital, they found a place to eat.
The lunch was simple and they finished it before midnight. Since it was still early and the commercial street was not far away, they went to the department store.
The department store also has four floors, each floor is at least five or six hundred square meters, and looks much more imposing than the supply and marketing cooperative in the county.
Ye Min also likes TV refrigerators.
Although she and Meng Cheng were well off, they could not afford to spend so much. Besides, buying a TV and a refrigerator required not only money but also tickets, which were not something that ordinary people could get. Ye Min was very self-aware, so she never looked at these big items when she went shopping in a department store.
They mainly look at clothes.
When in Jiangcheng, Ye Min would buy two sets of clothes for Meng Zheng every quarter.
But she became pregnant not long after joining the army last year. Although she had quite a lot of pregnancy reactions, she couldn't stand the bumpy ride in the car. She hadn't been to the county for ten months, so Meng Zheng's new clothes were basically bought in Meng Cheng.
But Meng Cheng was also busy and had to go on missions from time to time, so it had been exactly one year since he had joined the army, and Meng Zheng had only bought a few new sets of clothes.
Being able to add a few sets of clothes sounds like a lot. After all, these days many families wear clothes that have been patched up for nine years. But Meng Zheng is growing taller, and the clothes that fit him in the first half of the year may be too short in the second half.
Just like today, before going out, Ye Min chose again and again, and finally managed to find a set of clothes for Meng Zheng that he could wear with a top and pants that were just shorter than his ankles.
When they arrived at the children's clothing counter, Ye Min immediately picked out three sets of clothes suitable for Meng Zheng.
Considering that the temperature in Yunnan Province will not be too high in summer, there will be many days when we will wear long sleeves and long pants, so I chose two short-sleeved tops, one pair of knee-length shorts, and the rest are long sleeves and long pants from three sets of clothes.
In addition, Ye Min also selected a jacket and two pairs of sneakers for Meng Zheng.
Because cloth coupons were limited, Ye Min chose industrial cloth for clothes and pants, which was not cheap. Even though the children's clothes used less fabric, three sets of clothes would cost more than 30 yuan in total.
In comparison, sports shoes are not expensive, only RMB 3.50 a pair, but they are not famous brands. If you buy Huili's white sneakers, the price will be at least doubled.
In fact, cloth shoes are very comfortable to wear and cheap, but the soles are not non-slip. Meng Zheng is not sure when playing with others, and he is likely to fall when wearing cloth shoes, so Ye Min has always bought him sports shoes.
She bought two pairs of cloth shoes for herself, planning to wear them at work. Although there were stools in the pharmacy, she could only sit for a few minutes in the morning when it was busy, so it was more convenient to walk around in cloth shoes.
Just buy Meng Cheng two vests and a pair of jackets and pants to wear inside. He only wears military uniforms 360 days out of 365 days in a year, so buying them would just let them gather dust.
Leather shoes can be bought, and the army also issues leather shoes to wear with formal wear. The army issues training uniforms and liberation shoes frequently, and formal wear is only issued every two or three years. The pair of leather shoes at his home has been mended several times, so it is time to buy another pair.
After buying things for the father and son, her expenses for today had exceeded fifty dollars, so she didn't go to the women's clothing counter, in case she was unable to walk after seeing the clothes.
In fact, the reason she didn't look at women's clothing was not just because she couldn't bear to spend money, but because she wanted to lose the fat on her belly before summer came, and then buy new clothes.
Otherwise, if you buy clothes now, they will be loose around the waist because you have lost weight.
I didn't buy clothes for An An. Before she was born, Ye Min had prepared clothes for her until she was six months old. Children grow fast, so it's enough to wear them. There's no need to buy too many clothes.
The same goes for Meng Zheng. Two sets of clothes every season are enough for replacement and washing.
After buying clothes and shoes, they went to look at toys and picked one for each of Liang Juan's three children, as well as one for Meng Zheng. They also bought a tumbler for An An.
Well, An An may be too young to play with the tumbler for the time being, and may have to keep it at home for a few months.
Finally, we went to buy some food. The department store sold more varieties of cakes than the county supply and marketing cooperatives. In addition to cloud cakes and mung bean cakes, there were also soft egg cakes.
Ye Min bought two boxes of egg cakes. Considering that cakes would be difficult to store in the hot weather, she also bought a few boxes of biscuits with a shelf life of half a month.
After they finished buying the things, the hospital had also opened for business. They didn't delay and rushed to the hospital as soon as they left the department store.
The last two results were the ones that Ye Min valued the most during this examination. One was the lung examination and the other was the heart examination.
Many diseases in this world appear to be incurable, but there is actually a long process from the onset of symptoms to the inability to cure. Lung cancer worsens very quickly, and heart problems are very difficult to treat with current medical technology.
Moreover, the results of her and Meng Cheng's previous examinations have come out, and the situation is good, so if he died of illness in the original book, the problem can only be caused by these two results.
Therefore, after getting the result, Ye Min took a deep breath and then looked down.
After looking at four results in a row, the values were all within the normal range, and Ye Min breathed a sigh of relief, but this feeling was very short-lived, because such results could only rule out the possibility of death from illness. In the original book, Meng Cheng still died.
Seeing Ye Min's bad face, Meng Cheng became nervous: "What's the result? Is it not very good or..."
Ye Min handed the result to Meng Cheng: "No, the result is very good."
Meng Cheng took the results and looked at Ye Min's first, then his own lung examination results. He couldn't understand the numbers, but he knew the words. After reading them, he relaxed: "I said it's okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, he thought that saying this might seem like he didn't trust Ye Min's medical skills, so he coughed lightly and said, "I'm not saying you're wrong, it's just..."
Ye Min raised her head and smiled: "I understand."
No matter what, it is a good thing to rule out that Meng Cheng died of illness. Diseases that can kill people within two years are basically incurable. Even if they are discovered early, they will inevitably suffer during the treatment process.
Although the corresponding accidents represent unknowns, they are ultimately avoidable. Moreover, if they can be sure that Meng Cheng’s accident happened in Yun Province, they can find a way to leave here.
Although it is not 100% insurance, there is always hope that he can survive.
Holding the result, Ye Min smiled and said, "Very good."
…
When Ye Min went to Yang Mei's house to pick up the two children, she gave her a box of dried biscuits.
Yang Mei refused to take it at first, and waved her hands vigorously, saying, "An An is a very well-behaved girl, and she's not shy. It won't delay anything if I take her with me."
"That's a bother for you," Ye Min believed that Yang Mei was sincere in saying this, but she couldn't just take her help for granted. She insisted on keeping the biscuits, but said, "The shelf life of these biscuits is only half a month. We bought too much and were afraid that we couldn't finish them at home, so we gave you a box. Just consider it as helping us share, okay?"
Biscuits are also a good thing these days. Even if they are only produced by biscuit factories in the city, they are not easy to store, but you can imagine that they will not be cheap, let alone buy a lot.
But since Ye Min had said so, Yang Mei couldn't refuse anymore, so she said, "Okay, if you need to go out in the future, just send An An to my place. I don't have to work anyway, so I have a lot of free time."
Ye Min smiled: "If you say so, I won't be polite."
"Don't be polite to me."
After picking up An An from Yang Min's house, Ye Min showed her the newly bought toys while the little girl was still awake. But the little girl had no interest in the tumbler, and looked away after a while, until the sound of the wave drum sounded, she became happy.
After playing with An An until she felt sleepy, Ye Min looked at her watch and saw that it was already past six o'clock. She went out to call Meng Zheng, who was playing with new toys in the yard, and asked him to watch his sister. She also said something to Meng Cheng, who was cooking in the kitchen, and went out with the toys she bought for Liang Juan's three siblings and some cakes.
The Women's Federation where Liang Juan worked was inside the compound, so she came home very early every day after get off work. When Ye Min arrived, she had already tied on an apron and started choosing vegetables.
Seeing Ye Min, she asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Ye Min didn't answer, but glanced into the house and asked, "How many of Qingping's brothers and sisters haven't come back yet?"
"He must have come back after school, but once he put down his schoolbag, he ran off somewhere else," Liang Juan asked in confusion, "What do you want to see them for?"
"Didn't Meng Cheng and I go to the market during the day? When I was picking out toys for Zhengzheng, I thought of the brothers and sisters, so I bought one for each of them."
In fact, Liang Juan had already seen what Ye Min was holding, but she didn't know what it was for, so she didn't say anything. Now she knew that it was for her own children, and she didn't even choose the vegetables at that time. She hurriedly said, "You can just go shopping in the market, why buy toys for them?"
Ye Min said as if it was a matter of course: "We have a good relationship. In my eyes, Qingping and his family are just like my own nephews. Of course I have to think about them when I go shopping."
Hearing this, Liang Juan found it difficult to refuse.
How could she refuse? Did they have a bad relationship? Besides, people are made of flesh and blood. Ye Min's family always thought of her children when they went out. How could she say something unpleasant?
Just looking at these toys, Liang Juan felt a little distressed: "How much does this cost?"
Ye Min said: "It's not much, it's just a token of my appreciation, please don't mind it."
Liang Juan rolled her eyes at Ye Min and said, "What are you complaining about? I'm just worried that you'll waste money!" Then she saw Ye Min put down two more boxes of things and asked quickly, "What are these?"
"This box is egg cakes, and this box is biscuits. Buy more to save money. Meng Cheng and I bought too much in a fit of irritation. We only found out when we got back that the egg cakes would be finished in two days, and the biscuits only have a shelf life of half a month." Ye Min lied with his eyes half closed. "We were afraid that the food would expire, so we bought two boxes for you guys."
Liang Juan didn't believe it at first, but she picked up two boxes of food and checked the dates. She found that they wouldn't last long, so she reluctantly believed it. But she said, "These are all good things. How can we not finish them?"
"The food is good, but egg cake is a sweet food. Eating too much will cause toothache. Biscuits can easily cause internal heat. How can I dare not eat too much?" Ye Min said, "Anyway, our two families are neighbors, so just consider it as helping us share the burden."
Liang Juan didn't refuse, but couldn't help but say, "You guys really don't know how to live."
"I said the same thing to Meng Cheng after we bought the food." Ye Min finished cooking and said, "The meal at home is almost ready. I'll put the food here and go back. By the way, you can keep the biscuits for a while, but you have to finish the egg cake tomorrow. Don't forget."
"Yeah, go back."
Liang Juan responded while sending Ye Min out of the yard. After she saw Ye Min leave, she turned back and prepared to put all the things she had brought into the cupboard.
But before she put it in and locked the door, her husband Feng Xuewen came back. He walked into the room and saw her locking the door and asked casually.
There is nothing hidden in the life of a couple, and this is not a bad thing, so Liang Juan told everything. Feng Xuewen listened and asked thoughtfully: "Do you really think that the two boxes of food were sent to our house by Xiaoye and his wife because they bought too much and couldn't finish them?"
Liang Juan hadn't reacted yet and asked, "Isn't it?"
Feng Xuewen choked and said, "Of course not! You've been to department stores before, and have you ever seen them give people a discount by selling more things?"
Indeed, I have never seen it.
Feng Xuewen asked again: "Or do you think that the Mengcheng couple are the kind of people who get carried away when they see a bargain?"
"That's definitely not the case." Liang Juan shook her head, then thought, "Besides, you need tickets to buy egg cakes and cookies. No matter how much they buy, there is a limit."
"Um."
Liang Juan took out all the things that had been put into the cupboard: "They also bought toys for Qingping and his two siblings. Xiaoye said the toys were not expensive, but now that I think about it, I think these toys must have been quite expensive."
Feng Xuewen nodded, picked up one of the toy cars and said, "I remember there were similar toys in the supply and marketing cooperative, three or four yuan each."
"So expensive?" Liang Juan was shocked. She thought to herself, the toy car costs three or four yuan, and the other two toys must not be cheap either. Not to mention how much all the things cost together, it should be more than ten yuan.
Although the two families were neighbors and had a good relationship, Ye Min was quite panicked when her husband and wife suddenly spent so much money on buying so many things for her children. She asked, "Should we return all these things?"
Feng Xuewen did not agree, but asked: "You haven't figured it out yet?"
"What?"
"They are thanking you. Didn't Xiaoye give you a red envelope before?"
"Yes, but didn't you say that we are all neighbors and it is our duty to help each other, and let me take the money back along with the gift money for An An's full moon banquet?"
"It's because you returned the red envelope that they will subsidize us in other ways." Feng Xuewen pondered for a moment and said, "Keep the things. It's not only troublesome to return them, but it also hurts the relationship."
Liang Juan finally understood and agreed with her husband, but she couldn't help but say, "Xiao Ye and his wife are too polite. It was Director Li who arranged for me to take care of her during childbirth. I got an extra bonus when I got my salary last month, which was enough of a bargain. But she insisted on giving me a red envelope. How can I accept it?"
"This also shows that they are both decent people. If you want to replace someone who doesn't know anything and thinks that the organization has arranged for you to take care of her and that you should do whatever you want, would you be happy in your heart?"
Liang Juan thought about it, shook her head and said, "Then I will definitely save as much trouble as possible when taking care of her."
"So," Feng Xuewen spread his hands, "keep the things she sent. If you feel embarrassed, we can just help them more in the future. The days are still long, so there is no need to explain everything now."
Liang Juan nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense."
…
After the new week began, Mengcheng's vacation ended, and Ye Min started taking An An to work.
Although she had obtained the director's consent, Ye Min was still a little worried before going to work. After all, her colleagues in the same department did not get along well with her. If they used this as an excuse to find fault with her, she would inevitably be in a state of panic.
But Feng Aiyun's reaction was a little beyond her expectations.
When she first walked into the pharmacy and saw an extra crib, Feng Aiyun was not very happy. She frowned as if she wanted to say something. But before she could say anything, she walked to the crib and swallowed her words back. She raised her head and pretended not to care and sat down at her workstation.
But after sitting down, she seemed a little restless and raised her head every few minutes. Ye Min also noticed that her vision seemed to be focused on her daughter.
Even though Feng Aiyun always had a stern face and didn't look happy every time she looked up, Ye Min had been working with her for a year and their desks were face to face. He could see her facial expressions every time he looked up, so how could he not see the love behind her awkward expression?
Considering that it is not easy to hire a nanny these days, and that I will have to take my daughter to school for at least two years, if I can get along well with Feng Aiyun during this period, I will definitely be able to avoid a lot of trouble.
So Ye Min took the initiative to speak: "My daughter is cute, isn't she?"
Feng Aiyun was surprised when she heard this. She met Ye Min's gaze and saw that she was tilting her head and looking tenderly at the little girl in the crib. She pursed her lips and said, "It's OK."
"Thank you."
Feng Aiyun was startled, leaned back, and asked with a vigilant look, "Why did you suddenly say thank you?"
Ye Min said as a matter of course: "Because you praised my daughter for being adorable."
Feng Aiyun immediately looked annoyed: "I was praising your daughter, not you."
Ye Min nodded and said in a faint voice, "But you can't expect her to say thank you, right?"
That's true.
Feng Aiyun lowered her head, fiddled with the notebook on the table for a while, and suddenly raised her head and asked, "What's your daughter's name?"
"My full name is Meng Xi, and my nickname is An An."
"An'an's peace?"
"Well," Ye Min reached out to touch her daughter's face, lowered her eyes and said, "Something happened when she was in the hospital, so I hope she can be safe in the future."
The switch incident was a big deal, and almost everyone in the army had heard about it, including Feng Aiyun. Although she had a close relationship with Ye Min, she was nervous when she first heard about it, but she was relieved when she heard that the mother and daughter were safe.
However, when Ye Min returned to work, a month had passed since the incident, and they were not in a relationship where they could comfort each other, so she did not mention the incident.
It was not until Ye Min took the initiative to talk about it that he said uncomfortably: "Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future. You have survived such a dangerous thing, and your daughter will surely grow up safely."
"Thank you." Ye Min thanked again.
Feng Aiyun still had a look of disgust on her face: "Aren't you tired of saying thank you all the time? I'll do the inventory today, you just look after our daughter." After saying that, she picked up the inventory book and walked to the medicine cabinet to start taking inventory.
…
Although all the military wives who came home and saw An An said that she was pretty, Ye Min really didn't expect her daughter to be so lovable. Even Feng Aiyun, who had always been at odds with her, melted the moment she saw her daughter, and the relationship between them eased a lot.
And it's not just Feng Aiyun who likes nurse An An in the health center, especially those unmarried girls. Ever since Ye Min brought An An to work, they always like to go to the pharmacy whenever they have time.
When Ye Min was busy and An An was asleep, they would just take a look at the child and leave. If Ye Min was free or An An was awake, they would stay to chat or play with the little girl.
As she became more and more adept at work, she and Meng Cheng quickly found a balance at home.
Because Ye Min took care of the children during the day, Meng Cheng took the initiative to take care of the children at night, and he also cooked breakfast and dinner. Meng Zheng would also help with things within his ability, such as sweeping the floor, serving rice during meals, and clearing the dishes after meals.
With them father and son around, Ye Min can just lie down and enjoy himself after get off work.
But she is not completely free of worries after get off work. For example, recently, she has something to worry about.
And this matter has something to do with An An's full moon wine.
On the day of An An's full-month banquet, Ye Min and Meng Cheng received two large red envelopes, one of which was from Liang Juan and her husband, and they have already found a way to return it.
Meng Cheng guessed that the other large red envelope was from Ding Yang, and said that the other party would not accept it if he returned the red envelope directly, so he planned to wait until he got married and then give him a larger red envelope.
At that time, Meng Cheng also said that the reason why Ding Yang gave her such a big red envelope was actually to bribe her to help introduce someone to him. After hearing this, although she thought about it for a while, she didn't really believe it in her heart and thought Meng Cheng was joking.
Although Ding Yang was already quite old, the country had already begun to promote late marriage and late childbearing at that time. Some places were strict and would not approve marriage applications until men were over 25 years old.
Although the army does not have such regulations, there are many unmarried young men of older age, and Ding Yang is nothing among them.
Besides, Ding Yang was not ugly. Although he was not as tall as Meng Cheng, he was over 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders and long legs. He looked very tall in his military uniform. His facial features were not very good looking individually, but he was handsome when put together. His skin was not very fair, but he did not have acne or pimples. When he smiled, he had a mouthful of white teeth, and he looked like he had a good temper.
Moreover, he also became the deputy battalion instructor this year, which is the same deputy battalion level as Meng Cheng. His monthly salary is just over a hundred yuan, and he will be allocated a house after getting married.
Among the many older young men in the army, he is definitely a popular one.
It would not be difficult to find a partner even if he returned to his hometown. Ye Min had heard from Meng Cheng that his family conditions were not bad. His parents were old revolutionaries. Although they had retired, they were still cadres.
So Ye Min has always been puzzled and doesn't understand why Ding Yang is still single. After thinking about it, the only explanation is that he doesn't want to find a partner.
Ye Min didn't think that such a person would be unable to find a partner, so he would be desperate and seek help from someone like himself who had just joined the army for a year.
Because of this, when Meng Cheng came back and told Ye Min that the large red envelope was indeed given by Ding Yang and the reason was exactly as he had said before, she looked unconvinced.
After repeated questioning, Meng Cheng finally told the truth.
Ding Yang didn't really think much about it when he gave the red envelope, but he did mention to Meng Cheng before that he wanted Ye Min to help him find a partner. This time, when the two of them talked, they brought up the old matter again.
As for why he wanted to ask Ye Min for help, it was because he felt that she had a good personality, was smart, generous, kind but not cowardly, and persistent but not pedantic. It is said that birds of a feather flock together, and he felt that Ye Min was such a person, and that she should have good friends around her.
After listening to Meng Cheng's explanation, Ye Min was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that this is how he thinks of me."
Meng Cheng: "I didn't expect that either."
This is why Ding Yang said this. If it were someone else, he would definitely suspect that the other person had something to hide and would have a fight with him.
But he and Ding Yang have known each other for nearly ten years, and they know each other's temperament very well. If Ding Yang had something to hide, he would not say these things in front of him. He said it openly because he simply admired him.
Although she was being praised, Ye Min did not lose her mind. She hesitated and said, "But I have never introduced anyone to anyone, and I have no idea what kind of girl he likes. How can I introduce him to someone?"
Meng Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Don't you have unmarried colleagues around you? Which one is close to you? Can you help to match them up?"
"There are several unmarried girls in my unit who are close to me. Each one has a different personality. Which one should I introduce to him?"
It is definitely impossible to introduce everyone. Those who know clearly that this is a blind date, and those who don't know may think it is a concubine selection. And it is too disrespectful to girls to do so. Therefore, although there are several unmarried girls in the health center, she can only say that she met Ding Yang with one person, and it will be successful in the end. If it doesn't work out, Ding Yang doesn't have to think about finding a partner in the health center in the future.
Although Meng Cheng and Ding Yang have a good relationship, they have never discussed this matter. After thinking about it, he said, "I'll go ask Lao Ding again."
"Okay, ask first."
…
Meng Cheng was very concerned about Ding Yang's search for a partner, so he went to ask him the next day what kind of girls he liked, and gave Ye Min the answer when he got home in the evening.
Ding Yang's requirements for his wife are very simple. She just needs to be not ugly and have a good temper. But one thing is, she can't be a brother-supporting woman.
The last point was summarized by Ye Min based on Meng Cheng's opinion, and the reason why Ding Yang cared about this was because his sister-in-law was such a person.
Brother Ding Yang and his wife met through an introduction. They had a very good relationship before they got married. His sister-in-law also visited his home and saw that she was a pretty good girl. His parents were very satisfied with her.
But after getting married, the relationship between his brother and sister-in-law was not harmonious. The reason was all because of supporting his younger brother.
His sister-in-law has two brothers, each one more useless than the other. Her parents are also son-in-laws, and they asked for more than 100 yuan as a wedding gift, but did not give his sister-in-law a penny. After marriage, her monthly salary was more than 20 yuan, and most of it was taken away by her parents.
She always wanted his parents to worry about her brothers' future. One of them thought the frontline work was too hard and wanted to be an official in a government agency, while the other wanted to marry a leader's daughter even though he had nothing. If his parents didn't help, his sister-in-law would quarrel with his eldest brother. The couple said they wanted a divorce every other day, but they didn't get it done because of the child.
Ding Yang was so scared of getting married after seeing all this that he could be said to have had no desires or requests in recent years.
It was not until Ye Min came to the army last year and Meng Cheng moved out of the officers' dormitory and lived a happy life with his wife and children that Ding Yang began to think about looking for Ye Min to introduce him.
After figuring out Ding Yang's criteria for choosing a partner, Ye Min started to match him up in her mind.
Although there are quite a few unmarried lesbians in the health center, some of them are female soldiers, and some are assigned to the army after graduating from health schools. Most of their hometowns are not in Donghe County, and they have no relatives in the army.
Therefore, Ye Min could not make an accurate judgment on whether their family burden was heavy or whether the women themselves were brother-supporting women. After all, what she knew about their family situation was actually told by them themselves, and the authenticity of the information was unknown.
These unknowns are exactly what Ding Yang cares about the most, so Ye Min feels that this matchmaking is not easy.
Dante Yang and Meng Cheng have a life-and-death friendship, and when he comes to Ye Min, even if it is difficult to be a matchmaker, Ye Min has to bite the bullet and do it.
Fortunately, there are always more solutions than problems. After grabbing hair for a few days, Ye Min finally had a candidate in mind.
The candidate was none other than Qin Fang, who had attended An An’s full-month celebration party before.
Qin Fang was from Pingcheng, but her family was not in Donghe County, but in a neighboring county. Her family conditions were not bad, and her father was said to be a brigade cadre. So when Pingcheng established various types of workers' universities to implement the "July 21 Directive" a few years ago, she was lucky enough to get the opportunity to go to the health school. After graduating from the health school after two years, she obeyed the assignment to the local health center and became a young nurse.
Because her home was not far from the army, she would go back every now and then during holidays, so some well-informed military wives in the compound had already found out about her family situation.
The above content is basically true. In addition, Qin Fang is the youngest daughter in the family and is very much loved by her parents, so there is no such thing as a daughter favoring a son in the family.
In addition, Ye Min tentatively asked Qin Fang and learned that her family had not arranged a marriage for her and that she herself was inclined to find a partner in the army.
After all, although her father was a brigade cadre and she herself worked hard and worked in the army clinic, she was not a big shot after all, and the leaders in the commune might not be interested in her family.
It is not difficult to find an ordinary worker in a state-owned factory, but conscripts can be arranged to work in local state-owned factories after they are discharged from the army. Since she is in the army, why should she go far away?
Besides, there were many unmarried officers in the army, and she was not bad in terms of qualifications. If she looked around, she could find more than just conscripts. She didn't need to ask for a regiment commander or a battalion commander, but a company commander or a platoon commander would be fine. Although the rank was not high, it was still a cadre status, and the job arrangement after retirement would not be bad.
Qin Fang did not say these words directly, but Ye Min was not stupid and could probably guess what she was thinking through the conversation.
After knowing this, some people may think that Qin Fang is snobbish, but Ye Min does not think there is anything wrong with this. As the saying goes, "Marry a man to provide you with clothes and food." If your life after marriage is worse than when you were single, it is better to live alone for the rest of your life.
When she decided to marry Meng Cheng, she did so after weighing the pros and cons of all aspects. Aren’t they living a good life now?
Moreover, from what Ding Yang said, one could guess that he was not looking for a naive and innocent girl. He preferred a wife who could stand on her own and support the family. Qin Fang's personality was just right for her.
Moreover, Qin Fang is not bad looking, has a good personality, and is easy to get along with. She also meets Ding Yang's requirements of "not ugly and not having a bad temper".
Ding Yangma also met Qin Fang's mate selection criteria. The only drawback was that his hometown was too far away. However, he was only 27 years old and was already a deputy battalion-level officer, so his future was bright. If everything went well, he might be able to work in the army until he was 40 or 50 years old. In this case, his hometown would not be that important.
After bringing these two people together, Ye Min thought more and more that they were a good match.
So before going to bed that day, she mentioned this matter to Meng Cheng and said, "If you think it's okay, go ask Ding Yang for his opinion. If he's willing, I'll ask Qin Fang for her opinion. If both of them agree, I'll arrange for them to meet. What do you think?"
Because Ye Min had to take An An to work, Meng Cheng would pick them up and drop them off in the morning and evening whenever she had time, and she also had more contact with her colleagues in the clinic.
Hearing Ye Min mention Qin Fang, Meng Cheng thought for a moment and asked, "The day before yesterday afternoon when I went to pick you and An An up, was that her the person I met in the pharmacy?"
"Yes, that's her," Ye Min nodded and said, "She attended An An's full moon party before and met Ding Yang, but they didn't talk that day, so they may not have an impression of each other."
Meng Cheng hummed: "What's the situation at her home?"
Ye Min briefly talked about Qin Fang's family situation and then said, "As for the unmarried girl in our unit, I know her family situation quite well. She is also quite opinionated. I think her personality is more in line with Ding Yang's requirements."
"Well," Meng Cheng nodded and asked, "What does she think?"
"I haven't mentioned this to her yet, but I asked her about her criteria for choosing a partner, and Ding Yang basically meets them," Ye Min explained. "She is a girl after all, and it would be awkward if she agreed to meet and she thought it wasn't suitable. So I thought it would be better to wait until Ding Yang was sure before asking her opinion."
Meng Cheng had no objection to this. He thought Ding Yang was a gay man, so there was nothing wrong with him taking the initiative. He said, "Okay, I'll ask Old Ding tomorrow."
"Then..." This matter is settled for the time being.
Ye Min opened her mouth and was about to put a perfect end to their conversation when she saw a pop-up screen above the crib:
[Wait! Is this Ding Yang they are talking about the big guy who appeared in the later part of the original novel and helped the heroine's brother and sister a lot? What are they doing? Introducing someone to him? ]
[Based on the relationship between the characters, this Ding Yang should be the big boss in the later period, and they are indeed introducing a target to Ding Yang]
[Oh shit! Could this woman they introduced be the ex-wife in the original novel who abandoned Ding Yang and ran away with the money when he was in the most difficult time? ]
[Ding Yang’s ex-wife did not appear in the novel, so I’m not sure if her name is Qin Fang, but if their blind date was successful, it should be her]
…
The smile on Ye Min's face froze, and he quickly sorted out the logic in his mind.
It is known that in the original novel, Ding Yang's ex-wife ran away with the money when he was in the most difficult time, and the other party never appeared in the original novel and her name is unknown.
So even if Ye Min thinks Qin Fang is not the kind of person described in the barrage, if their blind date is successful, then she may indeed become Ding Yang's ex-wife who ran away.
And if the blind date fails, whether she continues to introduce someone to Ding Yang and the blind date is successful, or Ding Yang gets married through someone else's introduction, the person who eventually becomes his wife may abandon him when he is in the most difficult time.
Unless she got the name of Ding Yang's ex-wife in the original novel, she could safely avoid that person and introduce him to other people.
But... Ye Min looked up at the barrage of comments. The audience had listed Ding Yang's entire life, but the name of his ex-wife remained a mystery.
She really can't continue to be a matchmaker!
Ye Min took a deep breath, looked at Meng Cheng and said, "I just carefully analyzed their mate selection criteria, and I feel that they don't seem to be very suitable. Why don't we arrange for them to meet?"
Her attitude suddenly changed 365 degrees, which made Meng Cheng a little confused: "Are you sure?"
"I know for sure that they are not suitable!"
Ye Min spoke in a powerful voice, and said with sincerity: "Actually, I think Ding Yang is still young, there is no need to rush to find a partner, why not look around for a while longer, what do you think?"
"I think..." Meng Cheng put his right hand to Ye Min's forehead, then used his left hand to feel the temperature of his face, and asked in a puzzled tone, "You don't have a fever?"
Ye Min: “…”
