◎Dream Man◎
Liang Baozhen listened to Lai Fengxia introducing her nephew. She looked over and happened to meet a pair of inky eyes. Those eyes were as deep as the sea, and there was an indescribable sense of familiarity in them.
The man's thick eyebrows were like sharp swords, his nose was like a peak, and his face was handsome. He had a presence that could not be ignored. He also wore the gray-blue work clothes that filled the streets very straight.
When Liang Baozhen saw the man's appearance clearly, her breath was choked.
This person looks exactly like the man in my dreams!
"This is my nephew Xu Shengjie. He just returned from the army this year and now works at the National Cotton Mill." Lai Fengxia's voice was still echoing in her ears. Liang Baozhen recalled her dream and looked up and down at the man in front of her. They looked the same and their height and figure seemed to be almost the same.
Why did she dream about Auntie Lai's nephew so often? She was sure she had never met this person before, and she was not even very familiar with Auntie Lai. Was it a coincidence? Did this person happen to look like the person in her dream?
Unless...unless he also has that scar on his waist.
Thinking of this, Liang Baozhen's inquiring gaze unconsciously moved downwards and circled around Xu Shengjie's waist. When she realized her own gaze, she immediately came back to her senses and retracted her gaze, just in time to meet Xu Shengjie's eyes.
Seeing the hint of doubt in his eyes, Liang Baozhen suppressed the turbulent thoughts in her heart and calmly looked away without showing any fear.
A lot has happened today, she needs to slow down.
"Okay, we won't waste your time. You can go and get busy." Song Chunhua said goodbye to Lai Fengxia and prepared to go back to the village with her daughter.
"Okay, take your time."
"Auntie Lai, we're leaving first." Liang Baozhen said goodbye to them naturally.
Lai Fengxia watched the mother and daughter leave, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: who knows, there might really be hope!
When Xu Shengjie heard the young female comrade's voice, he suddenly felt it was somewhat familiar. He has always had excellent hearing and the ability to distinguish sounds was also his forte when he was in the army. This voice seemed to be that of the girl who picked his own wild rabbit in the mountains that time?
How could it be such a coincidence?
Then he thought about the girl who looked at him calmly just now. He had met female comrades who admired him in the past, but basically no one dared to look him in the eye. They were all shy and timid. According to Hong Saner, they were all frightened by his cold and hard appearance.
If Hong Saner knew that a strange female comrade kept looking at him today, he would definitely respectfully call her a heroine.
After a delay, Lai Fengxia and Xu Shengjie finally went to Xu's house. Today she came to discuss her nephew's marriage.
Ever since she met Dong Jiayan, the roadblock in her matchmaking career, she couldn't eat or sleep well. She had to find another good matchmaker for Xu Shengjie! She was a well-known matchmaker in the area, and she couldn't afford to fail here.
Besides, they are our relatives after all, so we should pay more attention to them.
However, it was difficult for city dwellers to find country wives, and she was too embarrassed to say that her conditions were too poor, so she had to be good in all aspects. The two most outstanding girls in Hongqi Commune, one was married, and the other broke off the engagement at the last minute, so what else could she find to compare with others?
Today, she originally wanted to talk to Grandma Xu about it, and decided not to meet in the city, but unexpectedly, Liang Baozhen suddenly changed her mind. She felt sorry for the Liang family, and who wouldn't curse when encountering such a bad thing? But she was a matchmaker, so she had to think and act quickly, otherwise the person might be engaged in the blink of an eye.
"Shengjie, what do you think of that girl just now?" Lai Fengxia was ready to test her nephew's opinion first. She knew Xu Shengjie. He was impeccable in every aspect except that he didn't understand romance and had no interest in getting married or starting a family.
"What's the matter?" Xu Shengjie listened to his aunt's nonsensical words and didn't understand what she meant.
"I mean, how about meeting your date?" Lai Fengxia said in a flurry of good things. "She is the prettiest girl in our village, no, in our commune. She is not worse than the girls in the city. She has a high school education. Apart from her rural hukou, there is nothing to choose from. I think you two are a good match."
Xu Shengjie paused, a little dazed, and unable to speak for a moment.
When Song Chunhua and Liang Baozhen returned to Damian Village, the villagers looked at them with a strange look in their eyes.
Today, it was not only them who came into the city from the Red Flag Commune, and the incident was a big deal, so naturally the news spread.
"Chunhuaer, Baozhen, are the people in that city really so wicked? They deserve to be killed, they have no conscience!"
"Baozhen, don't be sad. Find someone else based on your conditions. Auntie will help you to be a matchmaker!"
"He looked like a nice guy when he came to my house, but I didn't expect him to be this kind of person."
"At that time, I thought there was something wrong with him. He didn't look like someone who could live an honest life."
Some people scolded him, some showed concern, and some criticized him after the fact. Everyone was very ashamed of his behavior, and they comforted Liang Baozhen and were glad that she found out before she got married.
"I heard that the girl from the Dong family was having an affair with Chen Siming. Is that true?"
"Really? My third aunt was in the city today and saw it with her own eyes! The two of them were hugging each other. Oh my, they were so shameless. I am too embarrassed to say anything."
Everyone spoke excitedly, as if they were all there, but there were also a few who made sarcastic remarks.
Aunt Hu came over in small steps, her mouth wide open, almost reaching the horizon, "Chunhua, what's going on? I was worried when I heard it. Did your aunt really fly away?"
After Liang Jiacheng's aunt passed away, everyone became farmers and worked together to earn a living. Hu Guifen smiled from ear to ear.
"That's because our family doesn't want to marry her. Whoever wants to marry this kind of person can do so. She's such a black-hearted person!" Song Chunhua pulled her daughter back into the house. It was noisy outside, with people saying all kinds of things, which gave her a headache.
...
"I'll go find him!" Liang Baojun slammed his fist on the wooden table, becoming furious. What a jerk this is.
The six members of the Liang family sat in the main room to hold a family meeting. Only the elementary school student Liang Baoling took Mengmeng to play outside and did not allow the two girls to participate.
"Okay, what are you going to do? Don't make trouble." Liang Zhigao frowned, his dark face seemed to be even darker, but he spoke calmly. After listening to what his wife said, he thought for a while after calming down from his anger.
My son is usually lazy and impatient, and might start a fight with others, so I can't let him go out.
"I didn't see any members of the Chen family at the Revolutionary Committee today, and Chen Siming, that malicious guy, insisted that it was a misunderstanding." Song Chunhua thought about it and spoke in a more anxious voice. "I'll make the decision on this matter. Get the relatives out of here as soon as possible to avoid any involvement from us."
Liang Zhigao nodded and was about to speak when he heard a sound coming from the yard.
"Old Third, are you home?"
Liang Zhiqing and his wife hurried over and shouted towards the third brother's main room. Upon closer inspection, they saw that they were almost out of breath.
After Liang Zhigao's parents passed away, the four brothers and sisters of the Liang family separated. Liang Zhigao was the third child, and Fang Yuehe was the daughter-in-law of the eldest brother Liang Zhiqing. The two had three sons, and the eldest son was a commune cadre. They were considered to have the best living conditions in the village.
Ever since the eldest son became a commune cadre, the family has looked down on the other three members of the Liang family. They always like to put on airs and often point fingers at the younger ones.
Especially when Liang Baozhen went to high school, Liang Zhiqing acted like a big shot and said to Liang Zhigao that he was used to having a daughter. Why did a girl need to study so much? It was a waste of money.
But a few days ago, I heard that Liang Baozhen was engaged to the director of the city, so I rushed over to establish a relationship with her.
"Why are you here?" Song Chunhua had a hunch that these two people had bad intentions. The villagers could still comfort her family with a few words, but forget about these two people. It must be that a dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory.
Song Chunhua's premonition was right. Fang Yuehe spoke anxiously, "Old Third's family, what are you doing today? How can you make such a big deal about the affairs of a city girl? Isn't this just insulting me?"
Liang Zhiqing and Fang Yuehe were both anxious when they heard the news in the village. They were not afraid of something going wrong, but they were afraid that it would get out of hand. If it got out of hand, there would be no room for regret. People in the city have to save face, especially when the person is the director of the National Cotton Mill. It would be too offensive.
Liang Zhiqing was calm and composed. He had originally thought that if his niece married into the city and got a job at the National Cotton Mill, his children and grandchildren would also be able to enjoy the benefits of the company. But now, nothing happened! He acted like the eldest brother, whose parents were already dead, and educated his third brother and his wife.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you. You've been a jerk for half your life, but you're still unreliable. We can just say a few words to each other about Director Chen's matter and get over it. We can get married as usual. There's no need to make such a big fuss and offend others. Now Director Chen is definitely not willing to marry Baozhen. It's such a big loss!"
Especially when he heard that the mother and daughter slapped Chen Siming, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted!
"Zhi Gao, hurry up and bring a bottle of wine to apologize to them. This matter will be forgotten. We can hold the wedding and banquet in five days."
Seeing her elder brother saying such heart-wrenching things, Song Chunhua was worried about where to vent her anger. She immediately stood up and glared at him fiercely. She shook her head and snorted, "Brother, if you are so greedy for Chen Siming's rotten heart, you should marry him by yourself! You and your whole family should marry him together!"
