Because it gets dark early and people usually have dinner at five o'clock, Xiang Meimei was in a hurry to keep an appointment, so she asked her third brother Xiang Lidang to wash the dishes.
There is no distinction between boys and girls in their family. All children have to do housework. Xiang Lidang is used to it. He goes to the kitchen to wash the dishes and then goes back to his room to study.
He is still in the first grade of junior high school. He has time to help paste matchboxes these two days because the teacher has something to do at home and is on vacation. The final exam will be in half a month, so he has to work hard.
As for Xiang Lihua and Xiang Lili, they were both 11 years old and in the fifth grade, and their elementary school had an early holiday. Xiang Mianmian was in the first grade, and her holiday started two days earlier than theirs.
At the entrance of the cinema, Chen Wei, who had dressed up carefully under the guidance of several sisters, looked around nervously.
He liked Xiang Meimei and had asked someone about it. The Xiang family had six children, three boys and three girls. His Chen family had a similar number, with five children, three older sisters and a younger brother.
Xiang's father is a regular worker at a steel plant, a level six worker, while Xiang's mother works in the coal plant's logistics department as a temporary worker.
His parents were both regular workers at the match factory, so there wasn't much difference between them. Chen Wei himself was also very successful and passed the exam to become a temporary worker at the match factory.
But he didn't like any of the girls that Chen's parents had introduced to him. He only liked Xiang Meimei, who had a good figure, was pretty, and spoke gently. He was willing to marry her even if she had no job.
While he was daydreaming, Xiang Meimei had already arrived at the entrance of the cinema. Seeing Chen Wei standing there blankly, she laughed and scolded him for being an idiot.
She waved her movie ticket and handed it to the ticket inspector: "Comrade, row 7, seat 7."
When Chen Wei heard the familiar voice, he hurriedly bought half a pound of melon seeds and followed the ticket check in.
Most of the people who are willing to pay to go to the cinema are young people. They know whether they are watching a movie or people, so it is not as awkward for two people to sit together as it is outside.
"Just staring at me blankly?" Xiang Meimei couldn't stand the fiery gazes of the people around her and said coquettishly.
Chen Wei came back to his senses, his eyes wandering for a moment: "Here, these are melon seeds, do you want to eat them?"
The movie hadn't started yet, and everyone around was talking. The noisy scene made Xiang Meimei bolder, and she grabbed a handful from him:
"I passed the exam and got a permanent job at the steel mill, working in the propaganda department."
She said it calmly, but Chen Wei seemed to be struck by lightning. He just smacked his lips and couldn't utter a word.
Being a temporary worker gave Chen Wei the confidence to pursue Xiang Meimei. Although Xiang Meimei had no job, she was really pretty and had a good figure. She was also the eldest sister in the family and was good at housework, so many people pursued her.
In addition, Xiang's father is a level six worker with excellent skills. If the Xiang family did not have many children, Chen Wei really would not have the courage to pursue it.
But now, the last shortcoming has been made up. Xiang Meimei has even been given a formal job. She is definitely an excellent daughter-in-law. I wonder how many people want to get her.
Seeing the people around her looking listless, Xiang Meimei was about to speak when she saw the movie had started. She decided to wait until the movie was over before speaking.
Chen Wei had no idea whether the plot was good or not. He was immersed in the fantasy that his wife was gone. He felt pain when he thought about how he had planned to name his child Zhonghua Xiang Qianjin a few days ago.
After all, the child will have someone else's surname, so does it matter what the name is?
After the movie, it was almost nine o'clock and the sky was dark. When the movie was over, it was Xiang Meimei who dragged Chen Wei out.
"What's wrong with you? Did you run away with someone else because you thought I was going to the Propaganda Department?" Xiang Meimei turned around and looked at the distraught Chen Wei with a serious expression.
Chen Wei was three steps behind and looked aggrieved.
This silly goose.
Xiang Meimei was so angry at the straight man's words: "You are stupid, I came out to watch a movie, what do you think it means?"
If they don't agree, I definitely won't come out. Who would go out to the movies with someone they don't like?
Chen Wei, who was confused for a moment, thought faster than he spoke: "But you are a regular employee. How can I, a temporary worker, let your parents..."
There was no hope. This guy still needed a girl to teach him how to chase people. Xiang Meimei was convinced and finally said it clearly: "Go back and tell your uncle and aunt."
I'm afraid he can't figure it out by himself, so let Chen's parents worry about it. She doesn't want to teach this stupid son.
Bride, bride, you are truly a new bride.
Xiang Meimei returned to the steel plant compound under Chen Wei's escort. Chen Wei stood at the gate for a long time, and only went home with heavy steps after Xiang Meimei went upstairs.
He went to the cinema excitedly, but came back dejected. Who wouldn't know what happened? It was just a setback in his relationship.
Mother Chen has always disliked Xiang Meimei. If anyone wants to marry a daughter-in-law who has no job, unless her son is determined to die, then Xiang Meimei is the one she would never agree to.
But when Chen Wei came back dejected, she frowned and said, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Did Xiang's daughter break up with her son? This time, I'll ask my aunt to find a partner for my son. The girl must have a job.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Wei opened his mouth, Chen's mother was speechless.
"Mom, Meimei has been admitted to the steel plant's publicity department and has officially become a worker. She's now a cadre."
It's over, this is really bad.
How could Chen's mother not know that Chen Wei and Xiang Meimei were actually a good match, but people always want to find someone better and move up.
If Xiang Meimei had a temporary job, the Chen family might not be able to marry such a good girl. After all, with her excellent appearance, many people came to the Xiang family to propose marriage.
Now that the job was confirmed, Chen's mother panicked: "What did she say?"
You can't just kick your son away.
