Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Just after crossing over, I went on a blind date
Chapter 1
"Meishu, Meilan, your blind dates have been decided."
In a house on the west side of the old Beijing Qudeng Hutong compound, a woman with her hair tied up in a bun, her face illuminated by the kerosene lamp, looked gentle. "Come and take a look at the photo of your blind date."
Hearing this.
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and looked around blankly. Where was this?
As far as the eye could see, there was only a cramped room with a dim kerosene lamp illuminating the green-painted wall. An old-fashioned chest of drawers was leaning against the wall, and most of the light from the window above was blocked by old newspapers.
It all feels strange.
However, before Jiang Meishu could take a closer look, her snow-white wrist was pulled over, "Sister, let's go over and take a look."
The first to answer was Jiang Meilan. She was born with a dignified appearance, a silver-plate face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a hint of red on her cheeks, and two thick black braids placed on her chest. She had a look that was very popular among the elders nowadays.
Jiang Meishu was a little confused and could only wait and see. She secretly observed the person opposite her.
Ask her to call her sister.
Should it be her sister?
Before Jiang Meishu could think about it, the other party spoke again.
"Is this my blind date?" Jiang Meilan picked up the photo.
Jiang Meishu also looked over.
The man in the photo had clear eyebrows and eyes, a straight nose and mouth, and a complexion as white as fine enamel. Because his skin was so white, even the photo could not hide his elegant temperament and handsome appearance.
He was wearing a white Dacron shirt, had short hair, broad shoulders, a straight neck, and an indifferent look in his eyes.
He is obviously a very elegant and refined person, but his eyes are slightly narrowed, hiding an indescribable sharpness. If you look closely, you can see that he seems a little distant and not very approachable.
Facing the eldest daughter's question.
Mother Wang Lamei nodded with a hint of respect in her tone.
"He's the newly appointed director of our meat processing plant, Liang Qiurun. He served in the army a few years ago and later returned to the capital. He lives in a courtyard house in Dongcheng District. It's said that the house is 800 square meters. He's a bit old, 33 years old this year, and has a very rebellious stepson. Of course, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been on a blind date with us."
She looked at her eldest daughter, Jiang Meilan, and said, "Your aunt went to great lengths to arrange a blind date for you and Director Liang."
There is a natural barrier between slums and courtyard houses.
There is also a huge gap between the ordinary workers and the factory director's home in the meat processing plant.
This is something that was not present at birth and will never be present in the future.
Unless you get married, of course.
Or it could be to defy fate and change your destiny.
But neither of these is easy.
The introduction is over.
Jiang Meilan hummed, "The conditions are much better than ours."
"But is he a second marriage?"
"In the past, I was going to be someone's stepmother."
Wang Lamei: "It's not a second marriage. The child is said to be from a comrade-in-arms, and he adopted him."
I was afraid that my eldest daughter didn’t want to be a stepmother, and I was also afraid that she would dislike the other party’s age.
"Aside from having a child, there's really no flaw in him." Wang Lamei handed a photo to her eldest daughter. "Look at Director Liang. He's very young. At his age, it's no exaggeration to say he has a bright future."
Jiang Meilan was somewhat pleased when she heard the other party's conditions. She took the one-inch black and white photo and began to look at it. "Liang Qiurun."
As soon as these three words came out, Jiang Meilan's chest suddenly ached, and her mind was like a black and white movie.
Memories of my past life came flooding back like a tide.
Her name was Jiang Meilan. Because she was sent to the countryside as an educated youth, her family was anxious to arrange a blind date and marriage for her. Because she was known for her virtue, she was introduced to Liang Qiurun, who was born in a courtyard house and was the factory director.
Of course, given their family's situation, they definitely couldn't reach Liang Qiurun, but Liang Qiurun had a huge shortcoming.
She is 33 years old and has a son who is in junior high school. The son is rebellious and unruly.
Most people can't handle it at all.
Most of the people who went on blind dates with Liang Qiurun had their relationships ruined by his rebellious son.
I don't know how many times he made trouble, but in the end it fell on her head.
One reason is that she has an aunt who is the director of a trade union.
However, it is useless just because my aunt is the director of the trade union. What is more important is that she has a very good reputation in the meat processing plant. She is virtuous, family-oriented, and has a good temper.
But this was also the source of her troubles.
After a blind date, she married Liang Qiurun, a workaholic who never went home, let alone had a sexual life.
In addition, there is a rebellious stepson and a strict and old-fashioned mother-in-law.
During the twenty years she was married to Liang Qiurun, she diligently took care of the family and served her stepson, but her husband never came home.
After twenty years of marriage, she has never experienced what it feels like to be a wife.
Her marriage was born to be a widowhood.
From a delicate little widow in her youth.
To an elderly widow.
Tasteless, bland as water.
When she was dying, her greatest wish was to be a woman again and have a child of her own.
However, Liang Qiurun never satisfied even such a small request.
She hated him, a ruthless and decisive man.
He put all his attention on his work and never took her, his wife, seriously.
Her marriage failed dully and regrettably.
However, her younger sister, who had a blind date on the same day, was different.
She married Liang Qiurun through a blind date.
My younger sister Jiang Meishu went on a blind date and married Shen Zhanlie, a temporary worker in a meat processing factory in the neighboring compound.
Those days should have been hard, but things got better after my sister got married.
In the early 1980s, Shen Zhanlie resigned and went into business. In just ten years, he became the richest man.
If that were all, she wouldn't necessarily envy the other person.
Because the Liang family's conditions were already good.
In terms of material things, she was not too envious. The most important thing was that her sister Jiang Meishu married Shen Zhanlie and gave birth to eight children!
For Jiang Meilan, a widow who has never been pregnant, this is a fatal attraction.
Her biggest regret is that she doesn't have her own bloodline.
But my younger sister has both a son and a daughter, and is blessed with many children. Her husband also takes good care of her and she has a successful career.
What does this mean?
It means that her brother-in-law in her previous life was very good in bed.
That aspect is very powerful.
I’m afraid he is not an ordinary man!
Comparable to the barium thumb pet frost
Think of this.
Jiang Meilan woke up suddenly, and she looked up at her sister, Jiang Meishu, in shock.
Being stared at by her with such a piercing gaze, even the dazed Jiang Meishu realized that something was wrong.
She has not yet fully received the memories of her original body.
However, according to the original body's subconscious reaction, he shouted, "Sister?"
The voice is cute and very pleasant to the ears.
Jiang Meilan stared at her. They were twins. They looked the same, but their temperaments were different.
She has a strong character, is virtuous, calm and steady, and values reputation, so you can tell at first glance that she is the elder sister.
Her younger sister Jiang Meishu was born a few minutes late in the womb, and due to lack of oxygen, she has had a weak constitution since childhood.
Therefore, not only her, but also her family members took special care of Jiang Meishu.
She also consciously took on the responsibility of being the eldest sister, and she did all the work of her younger sister on a daily basis.
So my younger sister Jiang Meishu has fair skin, is slender and delicate, and looks so pitiful that I feel sorry for her.
However, because of her slow personality, there is a hint of confusion in her clarity, which makes people more likely to feel protective.
Jiang Meishu hadn't figured out the spot yet, so she pinched her slender white fingertips hard, "Sister, is there dust on my face?"
Staring at her like this?
What's going on?
Jiang Meishu was actually still a little confused.
Jiang Meilan shook her head and quietly withdrew her gaze. They had been sisters for twenty-one years, and she had always been the one taking care of her younger sister most of the time.
That is indeed the case.
However, now God has given her both a hint and a difficult problem.
Let her receive this memory before the blind date.
Jiang Meilan suppressed her mixed emotions and asked, "Mom, is my blind date Liang Qiurun?"
Jiang Meilan asked Wang Limei and confirmed it again.
Mention the eldest daughter's blind date.
Wang Limei's face was filled with joy. "Yes, your reputation as a virtuous woman in the meat processing factory has spread. Your aunt has long wanted you to marry into a wealthy family, so she introduced you to Director Liang for a blind date."
"Meilan, you know how hard it is for a family like ours to even have enough to eat. Marrying Director Liang means your good days are finally here."
The whole family can benefit from it.
However, Wang Limei had not yet finished her words.
Jiang Meilan protested, "I don't want it!"
She gritted her teeth and said word by word, "I don't want to. I don't want to go on a blind date with Liang Qiurun!"
The previous generation had a miserable life.
She didn't want to marry Liang Qiurun and live a widow's life.
That would be more painful than having her tortured to death.
This is a double torture, both mentally and physically.
Such a big house is always empty. She cooked a table full of food, but no one ever touched it.
The house she cleaned was never seen by anyone.
The husband's ignoring gaze.
The stepson's hostile attitude.
The mother-in-law looks disgusted.
People around her pointed fingers at her and said she was a hen that didn't lay eggs. All of this was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
She doesn't want it!
She doesn't want to go on a blind date with Liang Qiurun in this life.
Don’t even marry Liang Qiurun!
As soon as Jiang Meilan said this.
Wang Limei frowned immediately and looked at her eldest daughter in disbelief. You know, her eldest daughter has always been virtuous and gentle.
This is the first time he has looked so sharp.
Wang Limei slammed the table, sending photos flying everywhere. Her voice rose a few notches, "What are you crazy about?"
"Director Liang has such good conditions, but you don't want to date him. Who do you want to date?"
Who are you with?
Of course it was his brother-in-law from his previous life—Shen Zhanlie.
But I can’t say that now.
I dare not say.
Too shameful.
It's too embarrassing.
Jiang Meilan clutched Liang Qiurun's photo and murmured, "Anyway, I'd rather die than go on a blind date with him!"
As soon as these words fell.
Wang Limei raised her hand and slapped him.
Jiang Meilan stiffened her neck, stared with her eyes, and said in a decisive voice, "Even if you beat me to death, I will not go on a blind date with Liang Qiurun!"
Wang Limei raised her hand and brought it down again. "So what do you want to do?"
Jiang Meilan said nothing.
The atmosphere became cold.
Jiang Meishu gradually came back to her senses.
She tried hard to make sense of the unfamiliar situation; she must have arrived in a strange place.
Unfamiliar family and environment.
It should be the capital in the 1970s.
She became the little girl of the Jiang family and had a twin sister.
After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Meishu turned to look at Jiang Meilan, who was arguing with her mother. She had a pair of almond-shaped eyes, like glass beads, clean and clear. "Sister, you don't want to go on a blind date with Liang Qiurun, so you want to go to the countryside?"
According to the original body's memory, her family was anxious to arrange a blind date for them, probably because a wave of people going to the countryside was coming.
Or find someone to marry.
Or go to the countryside.
There is no other choice.
He met his sister Jiang Meishu's clear and sharp eyes.
She was unaware of it.
I don't understand anything.
Jiang Meilan felt a little uncomfortable. She said angrily, "I won't go to the countryside."
Wang Limei had been taking a breath by the window, but when she heard this, she immediately became furious. "You're not going to the countryside, and you're not going on a blind date with Director Liang. What do you want to do?"
What do you want to do?
Jiang Meilan knew what she wanted to do, but she couldn't open her mouth.
She lowered her head and fiddled with her braids, not saying a word.
Seeing my eldest daughter like this.
Wang Limei was exhausted, her white hair scattered across her forehead, and she looked even more tired. "Next month, the list of people going to the countryside will be submitted. If we don't settle your marriage, you will definitely go to the countryside."
"You are all my children. I can't bear to let any of you go to the countryside. For these two blind dates, I have spent all the money that my family has saved with great difficulty these days."
"Jiang Meilan, stop being so willful. Director Liang has such a good offer. If you don't want it, there are others who are willing to take it."
Jiang Meilan wanted to say, whoever wants it, let them have it!
She doesn't want it anyway.
But when she saw her mother's furious face, she immediately swallowed the words back.
"Drink some water."
Jiang Meishu slowly adapted to this body, but she still couldn't call out "Mom". She picked up the green iron kettle, poured a enamel pot of hot water and handed it to Wang Limei.
It was considered to have neutralized the tension between the two.
It also put an end to the war that was on the verge of breaking out.
It’s so nice to see my little girl being so considerate.
Wang Limei felt a little more relieved, "Your sister doesn't want to, so you can't be unwilling."
She simply stopped looking and stopped mentioning her eldest daughter.
Let’s arrange a blind date for my little girl first.
With two children, one must be decided.
This way I can feel more at ease.
Wang Limei took out another photo and handed it to her daughter, "This is your blind date - Shen Zhanlie."
Hearing this, Jiang Meilan, who was originally planning to leave angrily, stopped immediately and listened with her ears perked up.
Wang Limei had just had an argument with her eldest daughter and didn't want to pay any attention to her.
I introduced it to my little girl wholeheartedly.
"Chen Zhanlie is twenty-one years old, half a year younger than you. He works as a temporary worker at our meat processing factory. He's your father's apprentice. He lives in the Xinghua Hutong next door, and he takes over his mother's job. He also has two younger sisters and a younger brother."
Speaking of this, Wang Limei also had a headache. "His family conditions are not good, but fortunately this child is hardworking and lives next to our house. Because he is your father's apprentice, the quota for regularization is in your father's hands, so if you marry him, his family won't dare to treat you badly."
It’s not that she wants to choose someone with poor conditions for her little girl.
It's just that the little girl has a weak constitution and has been brought up to be pampered. In other words, to put it bluntly, she is a difficult child to raise.
Everyone living in the compound knows her.
In this situation, it is impossible to marry someone with good conditions.
Of course, it’s also because their family’s threshold is a bit low, so their daughter can’t marry into a wealthy family.
All I can say is that it is like parents giving extra care and subsidies to their children, right under their noses.
You can say that.
Wang Limei worries about her two daughters.
Jiang Meishu's thoughts gradually became clear.
It turns out that her blind date is a young man.
A little younger than her.
She was afraid of being exposed, so she imitated the original body's obedient way of speaking and stretched out her slender, boneless hand, "Let me see his picture."
Wang Limei touched her hair and handed her the black and white photo.
Jiang Meishu took it and looked at it carefully.
In the photo, Shen Zhanlie has very high brow bones and deep facial features. He looks very young, tough, fierce and rough.
His eyes were dark and carried an unconcealable murderous aura, but surprisingly, he had a high nose that just happened to support his pair of phoenix eyes, and the combination was surprisingly good-looking.
Further down the photo, only the upper body is shown, but his tall and mighty figure cannot be hidden.
With a bit of heavy heroic feeling.
The sexual tension is extremely high.
I can feel the hormones rushing towards me even through the photo.
This person is very extraordinary. No wonder he will become the richest man in the future.
That's right.
Jiang Meishu wore it. She graduated from university with a major in accounting and became unemployed after graduation.
I finally found a job with an internship salary of 1,800 yuan.
In order to get a regular employee, I stayed up late to record credentials and prepare reports.
When preparing annual reports.
In order to settle a penny, she searched from eight in the morning to three in the morning, but still couldn't find the answer.
He even lost his life.
The next second, we were transported back to the 1970s, when people were short of food and clothing and had to work hard.
The beginning is a blind date. If it were Jiang Meishu in the previous life, she would have to refuse once.
After all, she is young, beautiful and has a bright future!
What kind of blind date is she going on?
She has to pursue her career and make a big splash.
At worst, find a tall, rich and handsome man and have a sweet love affair with him.
But Jiang Meishu, who had been beaten by the reality of work, decisively lay down. In reality, there are few tall, rich and handsome men, but many ordinary men.
In the end, he was not even willing to give a betrothal gift of tens of thousands of yuan!
It was a lonely conversation.
Not only did I lose my youth, but I also suffered a lot of emotional pain.
It’s better to have parents introduce the benefits of blind dates.
Know your background, your conditions are not bad, you are sincere, and most importantly, listen to your parents, who will provide subsidies.
Is this comparable to the love you have when you are in love?
If she could live her life over again, Jiang Meishu would just want to live comfortably and she wouldn’t try hard anymore!!!
Because working hard will make you exhausted!
But lying flat won't do.
She started lying down at the age of twenty, and by the time she was sixty, she had been lying down comfortably for the rest of her life.
After all, there is a huge difference between retiring at 20 and retiring at 60!
"Meishu?"
"What do you think of this blind date?"
She didn't speak for a long time.
Wang Limei asked her in a low voice.
This question brought Jiang Meishu's soul back from floating two miles away.
It was confirmed that she was not the chosen one.
No plug-in required.
You can only cross the river by feeling the stones.
Jiang Meishu nodded at the photo and praised, "Not bad, very youthful."
Although Shen Zhanlie is a temporary worker, the quota for regularization is in the hands of her father, so it is equivalent to a formal employee with a stable job.
She had a pair of phoenix eyes and a dragon nose. She remembered that people with phoenix eyes and a dragon nose in her previous life basically became successful.
Typical representatives are the diving queen and Tsinghua talent Pang Zhuangyuan.
The eyes of Shen Zhanlie in the photo and these two people are not exactly the same, but they are not much different.
With this appearance, the future will be fine.
As for Shen Zhanlie, his family was poor and he had a lot of younger brothers and sisters.
Isn’t it the same in her family, with four brothers and sisters?
The typical situation is that if you are poor, I am poor too!
No one says anything to anyone!
"Yeah, Mom picked a younger guy specifically for you. If you don't think it's good now, you'll realize the benefits of a younger man when you're older."
"He has so much brute force, he doesn't even know where to put it."
In the end, it is the person next to you who benefits.
Wang Limei's words were cryptic.
But Jiang Meishu couldn't help blushing, and she took the initiative to change the subject, "But I'm married now, can I still go back to my parents' house for dinner?"
Until she can find a job, she needs to install a safety latch on her meal ticket.
It seems that Shen Zhanlie's family can't support her for the time being.
Maybe I need to rely on my mother's family for a while.
Wang Limei couldn't help laughing when asked this. "Of course, otherwise why would I ask you to live in the alley next door? It's just so that you can go home closer and make more money."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized, "Are you agreeing?"
"Then will you go on a blind date with him in a few days?" he asked tentatively.
Jiang Meishu was about to nod.
It was interrupted the next second.
"no!"
