Chapter 048 Another blind date
"Nanshan."
Cheng Meijuan, wearing a red floral dress, ran downstairs with a flushed face. Seeing Fang Nanshan, she shyly touched her two pigtails and said with a smile, "It's so late, why are you here?"
"Meijuan." Fang Nanshan's eyes sparkled, filled with the joy of seeing his beloved. He said, "I went to Jingshang for two days. I just got off work, changed my clothes at the team, and ran here. The only thing in my mind was to see you as soon as possible. You are still so beautiful, I..."
His voice grew softer and softer, with the shyness of a young man. He paused, then said, "Meijuan, I'm really happy."
"Me too." Cheng Meijuan lowered her head, and her feet, wearing white plastic sandals and white lace stockings, joyfully drew circles on the ground. She felt that the wind today was particularly charming.
Soon, she raised her head, blinked a few times, and asked, "You didn't go home, so... do you still not know what's going on with your family?"
Fang Nanshan's lips curled up subtly, and he asked doubtfully, "What could possibly happen to my family?"
Seeing Fang Nanshan didn't know, Cheng Meijuan became anxious. "Your grandma has been in the police station for three days and hasn't come out yet. I don't know what's wrong. You...you should go back and check on her."
Fang Nanshan's face changed. He mumbled, trembling with fear, "Really? My...my grandma is so old. How could she bear to be in the police station for three days?"
He was a little at a loss, turned around hurriedly, stumbled a bit, and quickly stood up. He turned back and smiled apologetically at Cheng Meijuan: "Meijuan, I'm sorry for making you worry. I'll go back now. If anything happens, you...just say you never knew me, okay?"
Cheng Meijuan's eyes were red. She knew that Nanshan was such a good person. No matter what the situation, his first thought was to protect her. She hurried forward to support Fang Nanshan and said firmly: "Don't worry, Nanshan, I'll ask my dad to go to the police station to ask. There will be no problem. You are in the well repair team, and my dad is in charge of you. It's normal for him to ask. Don't worry, I'll go upstairs to find my dad."
Fang Nanshan shook his head, grabbed Cheng Meijuan's hand and refused, "Meijuan, don't make things difficult for your uncle. It was your uncle who allowed me to join the well repair team. Your uncle is busy enough as it is, and he doesn't need to worry about such a small matter for my family. You are your uncle's daughter, and you should think about your uncle wholeheartedly."
Cheng Meijuan let go of Fang Nanshan's hand and said firmly, "Nanshan, how can I watch you get into trouble? You go back first, I'll go find my dad right away. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for my dad. I... I just want to help you."
Fang Nanshan sighed, his tone a little anxious. He said, "Meijuan, I can't tell you so much. I have to go back in a hurry. You must be well. Goodbye."
He waved his hand and left without looking back.
Cheng Meijuan looked at his back and felt that she must help him without hesitation. Otherwise, such an outstanding Nanshan would be crushed by his family.
She didn't see that when Fang Nanshan turned around, a gleam of success flashed in his eyes.
It wasn't just Fang Nanshan who succeeded; Uncle Lin Youliang, who had been eager to arrange a blind date for his son, was also successful. Inspired by Jiang Nan and Zhou Zhixing's engagement, Uncle Lin was completely focused on getting his son married sooner rather than later. He finally persuaded Old Lady Cao to help with the search, and fortunately, she finally found a suitable match a few days ago.
Although the timing was not right, it was agreed upon a few days ago, and the girl didn't know that she went to the police station today, so the blind date was not cancelled.
Although the atmosphere in the building was somewhat subdued due to the incident involving Grandma Fang and Zong Fengxian, everyone was still curious about Lin Bing's blind date. After all, they had met the eccentric Sun Lingling last time, so they didn't know what kind of person they would meet this time.
And this time, Uncle Lin Youliang personally led Lin Bing, and the blind date time was after get off work, so everyone would not miss it.
By the way, both parties met at the park pavilion this time.
Both parties had arrived right after work, so they were both wearing work clothes. Once the woman appeared, everyone understood why she was still unmarried at 22.
This, this is another Chen Jinhua.
He was a strong man, about 1.75 meters tall, and made Old Lady Cao look petite. He had a neatly combed hair, and his face was tense, which made the people waiting to watch the fun speechless.
There were two young boys following behind the two men. If Jiang Nan were here, he would be able to recognize them as the two boys he met at the scrap collection station, Wang Zilii and Wang Gengsheng.
In fact, Old Lady Cao also put a lot of thought into it. The woman she found has a job, is 22 years old this year, and is four or five years younger than Lin Bing. She is definitely a good match for him.
This woman's name was Wang Jianhong. She was the eldest of three brothers. The eldest, Wang Fendou, was eighteen years old and had already been working in the countryside for a year. Wang Jianhong started working early, working as a boiler operator at the heating station. She had a reason for being a woman: she was naturally strong, a strength even men couldn't match. This was the reason she was recruited. Her parents died early, leaving the four siblings to rely on each other. Raising her three brothers alone delayed her chance to get married.
Now that her youngest brother has graduated from junior high school, she is also thinking about getting married. However, although her three brothers are distressed, other men are reluctant to marry her. Even though the matchmaker has tried her best to persuade them, few men are willing to give in.
When Lin Youliang came to see Old Lady Cao, it was because she was thinking of Wang Jiankang that she took up the conversation. She felt sorry for the girl and thought that although Lin Bing was unreliable, he had the strong supervision of his younger brother Lin, and Wang Jiankang was not a pushover, so he would be able to control Lin Bing.
At this moment, Old Lady Cao led the group and sat down across from the father and son. Lin Bing's face flushed red the moment he saw them. Before they even sat down, he stood up and started yelling, "Aunt Cao, you're really bullying me! How did I offend you that you introduced me to someone like this? Why are everyone else so cute and adorable, but when it comes to me, you become a tigress? Do you look down on me or what?"
"What did you say? Who are you calling a tigress?" Wang Zili glared at Lin Bing with his big eyes, clenched his fists, and shouted at him, "Who the hell are you? How dare you look down on my sister? I don't want my sister to come yet, and you still don't want to? You have an unclear relationship with a widow. If Grandma Cao hadn't said you would change, we wouldn't have wanted to do it."
Wang Gengsheng's eyes were also red, and he shouted from behind with his teeth bared: "Try to say another one?"
"Rely on yourself and start anew." Wang Yanji turned back and scolded with a cold face, "Okay, it's not worth getting angry over someone who's not worth it."
She turned to Old Lady Cao and said, "Aunt Cao, you've seen that Comrade Lin Bing doesn't want to get married. It's like forcing a melon into marriage is not sweet. Although I want to get married, I can't marry just anyone. Let's forget about it today and not waste time."
Uncle Lin Youliang hadn't expected his son to be so brazen and brazen, shouting at him like that. He'd seen a good girl. Though plain-looking, she was capable, having raised her two younger brothers to be sensible and considerate. She was also a woman of her own ideas, and he didn't want to miss out. He immediately picked up his cane and hit Lin Bing: "I'll beat you to death, you ignorant fool! Sit down right now."
Lin Bing was beaten so hard that he dodged left and right. Seeing that his father was so angry that his eyes were about to pop out, he had no choice but to sit down angrily.
Lin Youliang then said to the two people opposite him, "Sister Cao, comrade, I apologize to you on behalf of my son. Let's talk about this. Lin Bing is a brainless person. He means no harm, really."
Lin Youliang's words were a bit off-key, but Wang Jianyi didn't want to listen any further. She interrupted, "Uncle, I know you're doing this for your son's own good. But it's your son who wants to go on a blind date, and he doesn't want to. I'm not so shameless as to keep pestering him. Let's just forget about it."
Lin Youliang was speechless. The more he looked at this girl, the better she seemed. But...
He sighed. Old Lady Cao hadn't spoken a word the entire time. She was truly irritated by Lin Bing. She pointed at Lin Bing and said to Lin Youliang, "Brother Lin, it's time to teach your Lin Bing a lesson. If you don't teach him well, he'll be single for the rest of his life."
After saying that, Old Lady Cao led Wang Jianyu to their feet. Before they had taken two steps, they were stopped by Wu Jianguo, who was watching from the side. He blushed slightly and stammered, "Grandma Cao, I... what do you think of me? Well, although I'm not in good health, I'm eighteen this year and I'm ready to find a partner."
Old Mrs. Cao was shocked. She never expected that even after all this, there would still be someone to intercept, and the person who intercepted was actually Wu Jianguo!
Everyone was stunned. If someone had snatched the spot from someone like Sun Lingling, they'd understand. But how could someone snatch the spot from someone like Wang Jianyi, a strong-built woman? Could Wu Jianguo have had a fever as a child and gone berserk?
Of course not. It's just that Wu Jianguo, ever since his health deteriorated, has been particularly fond of strong women. He originally fell in love with Jiang Nan for this very reason. Now that he's seen someone who suits his taste even better than Jiang Nan, Wu Jianguo naturally doesn't want to let her go.
Moreover, he could see that this woman was a person with strong opinions and could handle things. Such a person was suitable for marrying into their family. Otherwise, with his grandfather and his father being in poor health and indecisive, they would be annoyed to death.
The crowd fell eerily quiet. Jiang Nan and Zhou Zhixing had just returned from work and wanted to join in the fun, but it was so quiet that you could hear a mosquito flying in.
The two looked at this strange scene.
Inside the waterside pavilion, the Lin family father and son stood with their mouths open in disbelief. Old Lady Cao, Wang Jianyi, and Wu Jianguo exchanged strange glances, while the crowd around them looked at each other as if they had been touched by a needle.
Really, I don’t know whether I should break this rare tranquility.
It was the brothers Wang Zili and Wang Gengsheng who reacted first. They looked around Wu Jianguo and asked, "How are you? Why are you so thin? You look thinner than my sister. Are you sick?"
"No, no." Wu Dachui, relieved, leaped out of the crowd in a few steps and quickly clarified on his son's behalf. Since his son had taken a fancy to him, he naturally had to speak well of him. "My son Jianguo just has a bad stomach. No matter how much he eats, he can't absorb it and can't gain weight. There's really nothing wrong with him. He's now a dispatcher for the special vehicle team, a regular employee. If he had a problem, the oil field wouldn't want him, right? Don't worry."
"Okay, Wu Jianguo, you sickly bastard, how dare you cut my beard!" Lin Bing finally reacted. He jumped up, pointed at Wu Jianguo and cursed, "Do you still have any self-awareness? You dare to cut my beard! You really don't know how much you weigh, you..."
"Lin Bing!" Lin Youliang was utterly disappointed in his son, but he also felt bad for Wu Jianguo's blunder. He was still thinking about asking Sister Cao to mediate in a couple of days. He had his eyes on this girl, and she was definitely the one who could keep his Lin Bing. With a cold face, he said to Wu Dachui, "Brother Dachui, your family is not doing the right thing. If you just take advantage of someone else's good partner, who in the building will dare to go on a blind date at home in the future? They'll all be waiting to be snatched away."
Wu Dachui wasn't fooled. He wasn't a completely reckless man, and today he was right. He said, "Stop talking nonsense. Your Lin Bing didn't like her, and my Jianguo just came out. What does it mean that just because your Lin Bing saw her, the girl can't look at anyone else? Your family is being too overbearing."
"That's right, Lin Bing, you didn't like it, so why are you yelling about it?"
"Uncle Lin, don't indulge Lin Bing. He didn't even like her, so don't blame Jianguo for stealing her."
"Exactly. It's not easy for Jianguo either. He's also a regular employee, no worse than Lin Bing. He's even younger than Lin Bing. This woman is three years older than him and has a lot of money. I think Jianguo is a good choice."
"Of course not. I think he's a better match for Lin Bing."
Lin Bing was so angry that he cursed at the side. He had always thought that he was still counted among the young people in the building. After all, he had a job. But now no one was helping him, and he was furious.
While Lin Bing was furious, Wang Zili and Wang Gengsheng, two clever young men, lit up when they saw Jiang Nan. They'd both received letters of commendation, hehe. Perhaps if they persevered for a few more years, they'd even be able to get into the police station. And it looked like Jiang Nan knew the people on the blind date, so the two of them approached to inquire about their situation.
"Officer Jiang, do you know this Wu Jianguo? Is he... is he really healthy?"
Jiang Nan smiled. This was the first time she had met such a capable and free-spirited female comrade in this era. How could she not help her?
Another person who wanted to help Wang Jiannu was Old Lady Cao. She secretly glanced at Wang Jiannu and saw her nod slightly. Then she immediately led people to Courtyard No. 1 to start another blind date journey.
