Su He was surprised for a moment, then realized that she was making a fuss. In this day and age, most families had quite a few children, and it was normal to have three or four, especially since both of them were remarried.
So after thinking it over carefully, she told Aunt Xu everything she knew about Peng Wanli. However, she didn't know much either, since Su He hadn't had much contact with her new colleagues besides Hua Qing.
My impression of Peng Wanli is that he is a good person and easy-going. Tang Yu, on the other hand, is young and has a rather eccentric personality, but he is quite serious about his work. Now Captain Sun is personally training him.
Therefore, in her opinion, the new colleagues were all easy to get along with.
...
Su He originally thought that Aunt Xu had done a good job as a matchmaker, since the two seemed quite well-matched based on their circumstances.
But to her surprise, a few days later, Aunt Xu came to her with a bad expression and told her that the matter was not going to happen and that she should not spread the word.
Su He was surprised to hear this, "Why didn't it work out? Which party disagreed?"
Aunt Xu pursed her lips. "It's from Officer Peng's side. He has high standards. He wants to find a virgin who has never been married and can take care of children. He didn't like the one I introduced."
Su He listened in silence, then fell speechless, never expecting that Officer Peng's demands would be so high!
But if you want to find someone with these qualities, why look for them in the city? Don't you know your own qualifications?
Not only are you old, but you also have so many children at home, and you're not that outstanding yourself. City girls must be blind to be interested in you, right?
And if I remember correctly, his mother and children are still living in the countryside, right?
In other words, after marriage, his wife would have to stay in the countryside. What's wrong with city girls? Why would they be willing to marry into the countryside to take care of his mother and children?
Su He also sensed Xu Da Niang's speechlessness, feeling that with Peng Gong'an's requirements, it would be difficult to find a partner in Beijing; only rural girls would be willing.
As it turned out, she was wrong. Peng Wanli not only found a girl from the city, but this girl was also exceptionally well-off!
One day after get off work, Su He saw the two on a date and found that the girl was not only exceptionally beautiful, but more importantly, she had a refined air about her, like a young lady from a wealthy family. She wondered why she had taken a liking to Peng Gong'an.
Although Officer Peng is not old, only in his early thirties, he has aged a bit older, probably due to the hardships he has endured in the military over the years. The two don't look like a good match at all! Standing together, they look more like a father and daughter.
But judging from the increasingly happy expression on Peng's face when he went to work, the two got along well and might really be attracted to each other.
Well, she didn't understand, but she offered her blessings.
Others could clearly sense that Peng Wanli was very happy lately. Someone jokingly asked him about it, and he didn't deny it, only saying that he had a girlfriend and that good things were probably coming soon.
Everyone was happy for him and made a few jokes.
Before he could even celebrate, Peng Wanli was suspended from his post!
The reason given was that he was getting too close to a capitalist's daughter and someone reported him!
Su He finally understood. No wonder she thought that girl seemed unusual; she was a capitalist's child.
Since Li Yi left, she hasn't been as well-informed. Sometimes when she really wants to know something, she'll ask Sun Dahai, but Sun Dahai is tight-lipped and rarely says anything he shouldn't, so she knows much less.
However, a new gossipmonger recently joined the institute.
That's Tang Yu.
This guy has connections and knows more than others; Su He heard about Peng Wanli from him.
