Chapter 1295 It’s Okay to Call You Grandpa
Today, after He Dazhuang arrived at the wedding scene, he was particularly close to two classmates, one was Li Ye and the other was Zhen Rongrong.
At that time, Li Ye did not think there was anything wrong. He and He Dazhuang had different tempers before, so he thought that He Dazhuang was deliberately trying to resolve the grudge between them, hoping to have one more friend and one more way in the future.
Zhen Rongrong used to be a core member of the class committee along with He Dazhuang, Li Ye and several other D members and reserve D members, so there was nothing wrong with them being closer.
But now, when He Dazhuang was telling everyone about his divorce and asking everyone to help introduce him to a partner, Li Ye suddenly realized that this guy's eyes were always on the squad leader Zhen Rongrong.
Li Ye immediately observed He Dazhuang's eyes and micro-expressions carefully, and then a huge rage rose in his heart.
[The toad wanted to eat the swan's flesh, but ended up eating its own people? ]
Li Ye really didn't expect that He Dazhuang actually had feelings for Zhen Rongrong. No wonder he repeatedly claimed that "when looking for a partner, you should look for someone you know well and who is a good match"! It turns out that he came to Beijing today not only to attend Chen Xiaoling's wedding, but also to find a second spring!
However, in the 1980s and 1990s, divorce was not as common as it would be decades later. Anyone who wanted to divorce had to endure the strange looks from people around them. Even if He Dazhuang was thick-skinned, he was too embarrassed to confess directly to Zhen Rongrong.
So now, at the banquet, he was giving his classmates all kinds of roundabout guidance, probably hoping that they would speak for him.
But no matter whether everyone heard his words or not, no one brought it up to Zhen Rongrong. After all, Zhen Rongrong was the recognized beauty in the class. If she was paired with He Dazhuang, wouldn't that be a disgrace to her?
However, seeing He Dazhuang repeating the same things over and over again, it became very difficult for everyone to pretend to be stupid.
Li Ye asked coldly: "He Dazhuang, after you divorced your wife, who did the child belong to?"
He Dazhuang shook his head and said, "We didn't have children. At that time, I felt that children would be a burden. Now that I think about it, it's a good thing that we didn't have children, otherwise..."
Sun Xianjin looked at Li Ye and immediately followed up the topic, asking, "How can a child be a burden? If you had kept the child, you might not have divorced, right?"
"You don't see clearly at all. Raising a child is a bloody investment."
He Dazhuang smiled bitterly and said, "Take me for example! My parents worked so hard to raise me, but after graduation, they assigned me to Qing Province. I couldn't go home once a year, and I couldn't see my parents once."
"Da Zhuang, what you said is not right. Whether it is a loss or not depends on what your parents think. You have reached this level at the age of 30. Do they think it is a loss? Impossible."
"That's right. My child makes a fuss all day long, which makes my wife and I so tired that our backs ache, but we don't feel wronged at all."
"You feel you're not losing out now because you think they can provide for you in your old age when they grow up, but look at me? Raising children to provide for your old age is a joke."
“.”
It has to be said that men born in the 1960s have a very strong obsession with having offspring. Nine out of ten men at the banquet supported having children, with He Dazhuang being the only exception.
So after Li Ye raised the issue of children, everyone quickly followed the topic, talking one after another, just avoiding He Dazhuang's request to "find a partner."
And He Dazhuang is still the same He Dazhuang who likes to argue with others. He debated with a group of scholars alone, enumerating all the disadvantages of having children, and the argument was quite intense.
Li Ye, who had started the trouble, was unable to get a word in at this moment.
In fact, the issue of having children depends on where you are. Since ancient times, there have been two groups of people who are willing to have children.
The first wave, of course, are the powerful and wealthy. They all try their best to give birth to nine sons and expand their family to consolidate their power, wealth and family.
The second wave is the poor lower class, because it is too difficult for ordinary people to cross the class through hard work and struggle. Only evildoers can lead their families to counterattack.
So have more children, add a few more spoonfuls of water when cooking, and feed each child with one bowl of rice, hoping for a change with quantity. If a genius with high IQ emerges, then it will be a reward for all the hard work.
Even if there is a contractor, won't the whole family be able to make further progress?
Those who are unwilling to have children are exactly the group of people in between the two.
They have a career or some family assets and are not troubled by the issue of retirement. Having children will reduce their quality of life, so after careful calculation, they choose to give up enjoying life with offspring.
He Dazhuang was good at calculating when he was in school, so when he started arguing with everyone, his words became more and more reasonable, and his voice became louder and louder, and in the end even Chen Xiaoling and Zhen Rongrong were attracted over.
Zhen Rongrong still had the temper of the class monitor back then, lowering her voice and scolding, "How long have you not seen each other? You quarreled as soon as you met? And so loudly? There are so many guests today, can you be more careful?"
Li Ye immediately raised his hand and said, "We were discussing whether raising children is a loss-making business. He Dazhuang insisted that raising children is a loss-making business. I have two children, so I definitely won't accept it."
“.”
"Just show off that you have two children!"
Zhen Rongrong said something to Li Ye in a bad mood, and then said with a sullen look on her face: "Today is Xiao Ling's big day, why don't you discuss something else but DINK?"
"Yes, yes, we were wrong, we were wrong"
"What the squad leader said is right. Everyone, stop talking and drink."
Several classmates quickly begged Zhen Rongrong for mercy, but He Dazhuang's face looked very ugly.
Only then did he realize that Zhen Rongrong liked children.
Chen Xiaoling walked up to Li Ye, quietly kicked his chair, and gave Li Ye a look.
Li Ye understood what he meant, found an opportunity to leave, and followed Chen Xiaoling to a secluded corner.
Chen Xiaoling whispered, "Were you just arguing about the child? Are there any other issues?"
When Li Ye heard this, he knew something was wrong, so he told the truth: "He Dazhuang complained to us about his unhappy family life, so he hoped we could introduce him to a suitable wife. Why, he also came to you?"
Chen Xiaoling said mysteriously: "He didn't come to me directly, but he has been asking about Rongrong's situation intentionally or unintentionally recently."
Li Ye sighed and said, "I can see that too. That guy kept saying he wanted to find someone familiar and who knows him well. He was just short of saying he wanted to find the squad leader."
Chen Xiaoling said with disgust: "He Dazhuang is really calculating. My father-in-law just retired and divorced his wife. Now he wants to transfer to Beijing and has set his sights on you and Rongrong."
Li Ye was surprised and said, "He is targeting me? How is that possible?"
Chen Xiaoling whispered, "Anyway, he is asking about Rongrong's situation and your situation, so you should be careful and don't be fooled by his nice words."
Li Ye said in disbelief: "No way? There are dozens of classmates in the class, he shouldn't look for me, right?"
Chen Xiaoling curled his lips and said, "Do you think he is still the stubborn He Dazhuang? He is now very versatile and flexible. As long as it is useful to him, he has no problem calling you grandpa."
“.”
Li Ye returned to the banquet with the thought "this is totally ridiculous", and found that He Dazhuang was gone and everyone had a constipated look on their faces.
Li Ye asked curiously: "What's going on? Why are you all so depressed all of a sudden?"
Sun Xianjin whispered: "He Dazhuang went out with the squad leader."
"Just go out! Why don't we drink when he's not here? Come on, let me get you a drink."
Li Ye didn't believe that He Dazhuang and Zhen Rongrong could create sparks!
Even if an older single woman who can't get married is looking for a second marriage, that should be after she is 34 or 35, right?
Zhen Rongrong is only 29 years old this year and has returned from studying abroad. Her ideas are somewhat more advanced than those of people in the mainland, so Li Ye believes that He Dazhuang will definitely give up when he sees difficulty.
But after a few days, Li Ye opened his eyes.
