This year Qiu Rou had a truly meaningful Chinese New Year.
Although I no longer have relatives around me, I have a group of classmates and elders who are better than family members.
Song Jinxiu bought her a new headband and also made her a new set of clothes and new shoes.
In fact, this was made before, but I kept one set to wear during the Chinese New Year, and I also gave red envelopes to everyone, which was full of ceremonial sense.
"I'm telling you, you have to come with us today. These are things that the other aunts and I have risked our reputations to find for you.
Tall or short, fat or thin, first or second marriage, with or without mother-in-law, they are all there.
They all have houses and jobs, so you must be able to find one or two!" Aunt Fat blocked the door, and Song Jinxiu sat pitifully in the living room.
The annual blind date conference is about to begin again.
In the past, she had always been fooled by Song Jinxiu, but now she is twenty years old, and her aunt no longer buys her advice. No matter what Song Jinxiu says, she will take her to a blind date.
"Actually, I think I..." Song Jinxiu wanted to struggle.
"Are you still young? You're already twenty and still young? Look at the people your age around you, who doesn't have kids running around?
It's useless for you to say anything today, you must go on a blind date for me." Aunt Fat said and started to pull Song Jinxiu.
"No, no, what I mean is, do you think it's possible that I already have a partner, but he lives too far away so I can't bring him to you to see." Song Jinxiu said.
"Oh, who are you? If you can tell the truth, I won't drag you there. If you dare to lie, hehe, I will take you on a blind date once a week from now on." Aunt Fat sneered.
"How dare I lie to you? Of course it's true. We just confirmed our relationship not long ago, and I wanted to show it to you guys.
I was told to leave suddenly, so I didn't have time to visit." Song Jinxiu said with regret.
You want to pursue me, so you can let me be your shield. You are not around anyway.
"How do we know whether what you said is true or false! Has your Aunt Cuihua seen it?" asked Aunt Pang.
"Nothing yet. Didn't I say it? It was just confirmed not long ago and there's not enough time yet." Song Jinxiu said.
"Then who knows whether you are real or not? Let's wait until you bring the person back. You'd better go on a blind date now." said Aunt Fat.
This guy has a long criminal record, so you can't trust him easily without seeing him.
"No, no, I already have a partner, and if I still go, that would be cheating on her feelings!
Auntie Pang, have you forgotten the iron stick bread you ate last year?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"Why, wasn't it sent by your friend?" asked Aunt Fat.
"Yes, yes! Male friends. I haven't even brought the door yet. I wanted to hide it from you, but now I can't hide it anymore and have to reveal the truth." Song Jinxiu shrugged helplessly and said.
"Really?" Aunt Fatty asked in disbelief.
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, ask An An. She sent me things and wrote me letters. I even wrote back!
By the way, they also sent a large box of foreign chocolates, but the temperature was a bit high and they melted. All the children ate them.
"They are all witnesses, so you can ask them whatever you want. Do you think an ordinary friend would send me such a valuable item?" Song Jinxiu said confidently.
They are indeed not ordinary friends. If the talks break down, we will not even be friends anymore.
"An An!" Aunt Fat shouted into the house.
"No, Fatty! You really ask, is there no trust between people anymore?" Song Jinxiu stared at Aunt Fatty with wide eyes.
"Hmph, you have a long criminal record. I'll feel uneasy if you don't ask me." Aunt Fat rolled her eyes at her and said.
"An An, did your sister tell you that she has a boyfriend?" Aunt Pang asked Liu Ankang who came out of the room.
Liu Ankang glanced at Song Jinxiu, and Song Jinxiu winked at him frantically.
"She did communicate with someone, and the other party sent a lot of things to her," said Liu Ankang.
"Did your sister reply to the letter? Did she seem very happy?" Aunt Pang asked again.
Thinking of Song Jinxiu's disgusted expression, Liu Ankang nodded against his will.
"Have you seen that man? What does he look like?" Aunt Fat asked again.
"I've met him once. He's a tall soldier." Liu Ankang said truthfully.
Auntie Pang smiled brightly upon hearing this. "Great, great, it's good to have a partner. Did the other party say when to meet their parents?"
"Auntie Fatty, we just met, shouldn't we get to know each other first? Besides, you know, soldiers don't have many vacations.
We can only find out through correspondence now. Don’t you think it would be cheap of me to ask about his family members right away?
People who don't know me would think I'm so eager to get married, right? We have to take it step by step. At least we have to let him come first and let you guys see him!
If he doesn't make you happy, we won't want him." Song Jinxiu said righteously.
"That's right, girls should still be reserved. What's the other person's family situation like?" Aunt Pang asked again.
"I only know that he's the son of a military family, but I don't know anything else. I'm not checking household registration. If I ask too many questions, people might think I'm attracted to someone else's family, right?
Now we need to cultivate our relationship first. Once that's in place, everything else will be easy!" Song Jinxiu said.
"Then you better hurry up. You're already in your twenties and can't afford to waste time. But if you find out the other party isn't sincere, don't get yourself into trouble.
Even if you are in your twenties, I can still find someone for you. The conditions may not be as good as others, but at least we know each other well. Good things never come late. ” Aunt Fat added.
"Yeah, yeah, auntie, you're the best." Song Jinxiu excitedly went forward and hugged Aunt Fat.
"Go away, go away. Why are you being so cheesy?" Aunt Fat smiled and pushed Song Jinxiu away with disgust.
"I won't, I won't." Song Jinxiu said shamelessly.
"Should I still go to your group's blind date meeting?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"Why are you still going there when you already have a partner? No, no, no. By the way, I have to reply to them first." Aunt Fat said.
"Okay, Aunt Pang, please talk to them nicely! Tell them not to wait for me, it will be useless!" Song Jinxiu said to Aunt Pang's back.
"Why are you so shameless? Go back quickly and stop talking nonsense." Aunt Fat turned around and pointed at Song Jinxiu from a distance.
"Hehehehe! Escaped again." Song Jinxiu hummed a song beautifully.
"Your excuse won't last long." Liu Ankang said.
"Who told you it was an excuse? We are indeed planning to date, but we haven't developed any feelings yet.
We are cultivating the relationship now. Once they develop feelings for each other, they will naturally meet their parents, and then marriage will be a natural thing." Song Jinxiu said.
Liu Ankang thought about the scene of her getting married and found it a little hard to imagine.
Will her in-laws accept her being so delicate? Will she be able to take care of herself at home when the soldier is away for a long time?
If there is a conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, will anyone help her? Will she hide in her room and cry in frustration?
