Chapter 198: There Are So Many What-Ifs in the World
Liang Song became excited when talking about this. "My mother hopes that my partner's family conditions are similar to mine, and he is also favored at home. It is best if both parents are working and he has an older brother. This way, her parents' retirement care will not be a burden on me.
Secondly, the other party should be younger than me, preferably 22 years old. My mother said that this age is the most suitable for girls to get married and have children. I hope to have children immediately after marriage. Yes, I want to have at least three sons.
My mother said that having more children means more blessings. Having more children in the family will make it more lively and the children will have someone to help them in the future, just like me and my sisters.
Third, it is best if the other party has a job, and it must be a formal job, so that she can support the family with me. My mother said that if I find someone who is unemployed, then after we get married, I will have to rely on my salary to support the family, and it will be very difficult for me.
Fourth, the other party should be a high school graduate, well-educated, and preferably pretty. By the way, the height should be over 1.6 meters. My mother said that these are hereditary. The children born to me and the other party will also be beautiful, tall, and smart.
Fifth, my mother hopes that the man will be gentle and virtuous, well-behaved and obedient, and be able to handle both housework and the kitchen.
My mother said that my family is full of workers, and when the woman marries into our family, she will definitely have to do most of the housework, so these are necessary."
Sister Zhou was amazed when she heard this. "Oh my god, such high requirements! Even more than Jiang Hao in the office next door."
Liang Song was unhappy, "You all know that I'm well-off, so it's normal for me to have high demands."
Guyu felt that these conditions were all fine. Except for his age, everything else was just as he had said.
Thinking of this, Guyu looked at Liang Song with a little more shyness.
Shi Luo was speechless looking at Guyu's state. Could it be that this girl had forgotten what Liang Song said about her before just after the New Year? She was really careless.
Seeing that no one was talking, Liang Song became even more unhappy. "Shi Luo, we are the only two single men in the office. Tell me, do you think my requirements are too high?"
Shi Luo was speechless. Shi Luo didn't want to say anything. Shi Luo felt that this was outrageous.
No, don't you know whether your requirements are high or not? Why would he choose you over such a gentle, virtuous, young and beautiful girl who is loved by her parents and brothers, has a job, is capable, comes from a well-off family, and can both housewives and do housework?
A girl with such good conditions would be better off not getting married and living on her own than marrying a mama's boy like you who listens to your mother in everything.
Although he thought so in his heart, Shi Luo would not say it out loud. They were all colleagues, so there was no need to puncture Liang Song's unrealistic fantasy.
"Not really, not really, Brother Liang, if you work hard, I believe you will find a suitable wife, and your mother will also find a satisfactory daughter-in-law."
Uncle Chu didn't think Liang Song and his mother had high demands. Nowadays, who doesn't want to marry a beauty when getting married? Although the girl they marry will usually be very different from what they imagined, it's not a bad thing to have a beautiful wish. What if he really finds her?
Xiao Feng thought it was outrageous. With so many requirements, Liang Song might never be able to marry a wife he liked in his lifetime. No, it seemed that after the New Year, this Liang guy seemed to have more self-confidence.
Liang Song was happy after hearing what Shi Luo said, "To be honest, if you know any girls who meet my requirements, please introduce them to me. Actually, I'm not in a hurry to get married. I'm mainly in a hurry to have children.
My mom said that my age is the most suitable for a man to have children. If he waits until he is 30 or older, it will be too late.
When talking about having children, Xiao Feng also felt a little emotional. "Alas, my mother started urging me to have children as soon as I got married. When I accompanied my wife to her parents' home during the Chinese New Year, my mother-in-law was also urging me to have children. I really don't know why they are so anxious."
Sister Zhou understood very well. "How can I not be anxious? You are just too young and don't understand. You should have children early. You are already in your twenties. When my old man was your age, I even gave birth to my second child."
Shi Luo really didn't understand why no matter what era, these parents would always urge their children to get married and have children, especially in this era when people couldn't even take care of themselves, so why did they have to have another child to suffer together?
Xiao Feng has been hearing these words from Sister Zhou so often these days that his ears are almost callused. "Having a child is so easy. I just got married and bought a house. Part of my monthly salary has to be used to pay off the factory mortgage. The rest is nothing except for living expenses. Having and raising a child requires money. How can I dare to have a child when I have no money?"
Uncle Chu: "Then you don't dare to have children. In our time, even if we were poor, we still didn't have children. Raising children is not that difficult. You guys are just overthinking it."
Shi Luo put away the lunch box after finishing his meal. "Have all those of you who bought the apartment moved in? Is the heating in the house warm?"
Liang Song: "I moved in before the New Year. The heating is OK, but there are too many people living downstairs. When it's time to eat, everyone cooks in the hallway. It's very noisy.
By the way, why hasn’t Jiang Hao, who lives next door to me, moved in yet? Didn’t he say that all the furniture and everything had been moved in?
Shi Luo: "He plans to move when it's warmer there. He's too lazy to bother with the winter."
Sister Zhou said, "Speaking of moving, I didn't tell you about the excitement. Before the New Year, many people in our factory moved into new houses. After buying a house, they have to buy furniture. Some people didn't have tickets, so they went to second-hand stores to buy them."
Liang Song knew what it was about halfway through, and said excitedly, "I know about this. My eldest brother-in-law even brought people to this matter."
Shi Luo always had to eat melon seeds with his stories. He grabbed a handful of seeds from his pocket and gave some to Sister Zhou. While eating them, he asked, "What's the matter? Why are you bothering Brother Shangliang's brother-in-law?"
Sister Zhou was eating melon seeds and talking with great interest.
"It was Qi Da from our factory's security department. He went to a second-hand store to buy furniture and found gold inside. The police and Liang Song's brother-in-law were called in right away."
Shi Luo: "The people of the Qi family are quite selfless. They didn't take the gold they found and reported it directly. Most people don't have such courage."
Sister Zhou smiled, "He's truly selfless. When Qi Da was moving furniture, he accidentally bumped into the door threshold and knocked off the table legs, causing the gold hidden inside to fall out."
Uncle Chu shook his head and said, "This gold shouldn't be his. This is fate."
Shi Luo nodded secretly. Indeed, no one found gold in this table when it was moved to a second-hand store. No one found any gold in it even after it was kept in the second-hand store for such a long time.
Qi Da discovered the gold as soon as he bought it. If it was discovered after he moved it home, no one would know that Qi Da could have embezzled it. But he threw the gold out in public, which meant it was destined that the gold did not belong to him.
Sister Zhou said, "Because of this incident, many people have recently gone to second-hand stores to look for treasures and sell old goods. These people didn't consider that the Revolutionary Committee has thoroughly checked all the second-hand stores because of this incident. How could there be any fish that slipped through the net for them?"
Shi Luo: "People always have a sense of luck, thinking that there is only a chance of something happening, but there are not so many chances of something happening."
