Chapter 7 Chapter 7 How about you switch identities and go on a blind date? ...
At this moment, Wang Limei and Shen's mother in the room looked over at the same time.
When Wang Limei saw Shen Zhanlie clearly, her breathing held for a moment.
No wonder the eldest daughter wants to marry him.
As for Chen Zhanlie, a burly man with a height of nearly 1.9 meters, broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, his physique is a natural asset.
I'm afraid this body is extremely strong.
Although it is a bit poor, there is harmony in that aspect.
I don’t know how happy the days ahead will be.
Thinking about her little daughter, she is such a blockhead and hasn't figured it out yet.
Let such a good man go.
Mother Shen reacted quickly, "Zhan Lie, why are you back?"
Shen Zhanlie said expressionlessly, "My clothes are torn, I came back to mend them." In order to make money, he built a small shed in front of the house, and others could not bear it even if they carried five pigs.
He could carry twenty of them, and in less than half a day his clothes were torn.
"Did you hear what your Aunt Wang and I said?"
Shen Zhanlie hummed, and with his big hand like a palm leaf fan, he pushed the door open and walked into the room, saying straight to the point, "Aunt Wang, I still want to go on a blind date with your little girl Jiang Meishu."
He had actually met Jiang Meishu.
Although it was just a chance incident, he couldn't forget it since then.
It’s just that Jiang Meishu doesn’t remember him.
Because his master has too many disciples.
Wang Limei didn't expect to hear such an answer from Shen Zhanlie.
She thought about it and didn't answer completely, but left some room for maneuver, "My Meilan is more suitable for marriage and more suitable for your family's situation."
The Shen family is poor, and if they marry a delicate young lady, their life will probably be even more difficult.
But her eldest daughter is different. She is outstanding and strong-willed. It can be said that she alone is as strong as a laborer.
A natural money grabber.
Shen Zhanlie's brows were fierce, and he shook his head, "This is not a question of whether it is suitable or not."
It was him who had a crush on Jiang Meishu.
Ever since he became Master Jiang's apprentice last year, he has been carefully observing Jiang Meishu's every move.
Later, Wang Lamei found his mother and said she wanted to bring him and Jiang Meishu together.
He was ecstatic at the time, thinking it was a godsend.
After all, according to his family's conditions, wanting to marry the daughter of the Jiang family is just a pipe dream.
Seeing him so stubborn.
Is there anything Wang Lamei can’t see?
She had also been here since she was young, so she tentatively asked, "Do you like our Meishu?"
A blush appeared on Shen Zhanlie's cheeks, and his honey-colored skin became hot and swollen. He nodded and said in a strong voice, "I have seen her several times before."
Although I haven't had close contact with her, I'm always there wherever Jiang Meishu is.
He would always sneak over and run into the other person by chance.
After a few visits, Jiang Meishu felt that his face was familiar, but she couldn't necessarily remember his name.
Wang Lamei's heart skipped a beat. "Then I need to go back and discuss this with the children."
"I'll give you the results then."
Shen Zhanlie nodded respectfully, "Aunt Wang, thank you for your help." After he finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, thinking that Aunt Wang was also an elder, so he took off his shirt and let his mother mend his clothes with his bare arms.
Wang Limei was stunned for a moment and thought to herself, with Chen Zhanlie's strong and tight muscles, she couldn't afford to lose this son-in-law.
No matter whether it is for the eldest daughter or the youngest daughter.
Whichever daughter marries him will have a happy life.
Life is harmonious on this bed.
The relationship between the young couple naturally improved.
*
In the Jiang family's slum, Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan were lighting the coal stove to cook.
As soon as Wang Limei came back, Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan immediately let go of their hands and went to greet her.
"Mom, how's it going?"
Wang Limei shook her head and said, "No."
“Shen Zhanlie wants to go on a blind date with Meishu.”
As soon as these words fell.
Jiang Meilan dropped the wooden barrel in her hand. She couldn't believe it and asked, "Why?"
She doesn't understand.
Jiang Meishu didn't understand either. She looked here and there and said something clueless, "Maybe he's blind?"
After hearing this, Jiang Meilan no longer cared about being angry. She glared at her and turned to go into the house.
After hearing the result, she no longer had the heart to cook.
When Jiang Meishu saw her leave, she immediately became anxious and asked loudly, "Sister, are you still going to braise the pig intestines?"
She just craves this.
Jiang Meilan was furious, her eyebrows raised, "Bullshit!"
Jiang Meishu turned around and said to Wang Limei, "Mom, I'll make you rot."
That's what I said.
Wang Limei couldn't help but raise her hand to hit her, lightly and scolding her with a smile, "This Shen Zhanlie doesn't agree to the marriage exchange, your sister is so angry and anxious, and you are not anxious?"
It seems like the little girl has no reaction.
Jiang Meishu, "I'm in a hurry, but I'm in a hurry. Can he delay my meal?"
After coming here, she was hungry every day.
Nothing is more important than filling her stomach.
I’m telling you, you’ll know when you ask the system.
It's not that troublesome.
"You, you, you have such a mild temper. I don't know whether you are good or bad."
Wang Limei sighed and looked at her little girl's greedy look, "Okay, your sister won't cook, I'll do it."
"But, just follow along and learn from me."
Jiang Meishu hummed twice and watched from the side.
Wang Limei asked her casually, "Have you ever had contact with Shen Zhanlie?"
Jiang Meishu recalled it, then shook her head, her fair face tense. "Mom, please don't talk nonsense."
"I am a clean person."
Wang Lamei patted her and said, "Just asking."
"I see that kid Shen Zhanlie seems to like you?"
When Jiang Meishu heard this, her almond-shaped eyes widened, "That's impossible."
"I have never had any contact with him."
At most, they had only met a few times, but Jiang Meishu was slow-witted and a little introverted, and didn't like to talk, let alone say hello to Shen Zhanlie.
Shen Zhanlie was a tall, strong, and fierce man.
Jiang Meishu is the kind of person who can't help but feel nervous when standing next to him.
How did she come into contact with Shen Zhanlie?
She didn't even have time to escape.
"That's strange?" Wang Lamei was a little puzzled. "Could it be that this child likes you unilaterally?"
She doesn't know.
She actually guessed it right.
Shen Zhanlie just likes Jiang Meishu unilaterally.
Jiang Meishu just didn't know it.
She shook her head, looking a little worried, "If he likes me, then I'm doomed!"
Such a long-legged sperm, like her.
She doesn't want to have eight children.
Wang Lamei took a look at the little girl and thought to herself that she was just a slow learner.
I simply started to take care of my own things, and didn't forget to cram and teach my little girl how to cook.
This is when the honeycomb coal in the iron stove burns the most vigorously.
Wang Limei took the yellowed cotton gauze, dipped it in the oil bottle, and wiped it around the edge of the pot.
Cooking these days requires a lot of care. The standard amount of oil used is two taels per month, and you can’t exceed that.
If you use it too much, you will have to eat dry food when cooking later, without any greasy smell, and you won’t be able to poop.
I watched as the edge of the pot was rubbed with shiny oil and the pot became heated.
Wang Limei called out to Jiang Meishu, "Have you cut the cabbage?"
Jiang Meishu sighed, and clumsily cut the cabbage a few times with the knife. She asked, "Mom, can't you just cut the whole cabbage?"
It was just a cabbage weighing less than two kilograms, and there were nine people in their family.
One head of cabbage was not enough for her to eat, but her mother asked her to divide it into two portions.
Oh my God, there’s only one dish, and you won’t let me finish cutting it.
Wang Limei laughed and scolded, "After this meal, will you tie your neck up for the next one?"
Jiang Meishu muttered, "I don't have enough to eat. I'm hungry every day."
She never had enough to eat when she came here.
"Come on, don't you know how to add water to the cornmeal porridge and drink a few more bowls to fill your stomach?"
Who likes to drink thin porridge, especially thin porridge mixed with water?
Jiang Meishu said nothing and handed over a basket of chopped cabbage.
Wang Limei took a look and said, "Are you cutting or chopping the cabbage? They are all different lengths."
Jiang Meishu, "As long as it's edible, it doesn't matter if it looks good or not."
Wang Limei, "You must learn how to cook at home these few days, otherwise you will be at a loss when you go to your husband's house."
"When the time comes, your mother-in-law will scold me for raising a daughter who can't even cook. Don't return you to me."
Jiang Meishu really didn't like to hear this. She was a girl from Sichuan and the only child among all children.
Her mother in her previous life never said that.
Because her father is the one who cooks.
The same is true for her relatives and neighbors.
Jiang Meishu's fair face was tense, and she pursed her lips. "I didn't get married to serve others."
"If you don't serve them, why should they feed you?"
After these words were spoken, Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment, and before she could think about it further.
Lin Qiaoling had just returned from get off work. She put her tattered black umbrella behind the door and shook off the raindrops on her body. Then she saw her sister-in-law busying around the coal stove.
She was surprised for a moment, "Is Meishu going to cook today?"
But she had never seen it before.
Wang Limei said, "She's helping me. I need to teach her how to cook before she gets married, so she doesn't embarrass me."
"If my mother-in-law returns it to me, I will be too embarrassed to face anyone."
Jiang Meishu didn't want to talk much, nor did she like this argument. She nodded at Lin Qiaoling and said, "Sister-in-law."
After shouting, he went into the house.
Lin Qiaoling was stunned. "What happened?"
Wang Limei knew her own daughter. "She might not like me saying that, but the truth is not pleasant to hear, but I have to say it anyway."
In the small room.
It was called a small room, but it was just a curtain pulled up to reveal a small room of three square meters, where Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan lived.
See her come in.
Jiang Meilan stopped plucking her eyebrows and asked, "Unhappy?"
Jiang Meishu hummed.
"I know."
Jiang Meilan, "Mom is just like that. She told you not to go in." She also tried to persuade Jiang Meishu.
Jiang Meishu nodded. "I know it, but I feel uncomfortable. I wasn't born to serve others."
"Then you should be able to be an Iron Lady yourself."
"I can't survive." Jiang Meishu said honestly, "If I had this ability, I would have become rich long ago."
Unfortunately, she is just a useless rookie.
The kind that would tire myself to death just by working overtime.
Perhaps her only specialty in this life is eating, drinking and having fun.
A typical piece of junk food.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Jiang Meilan changed the subject and said, "Come and help me pluck these eyebrows. I won't do it anymore."
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips, opened her clear almond eyes, and spread her hands, "I can't do it either."
In her previous life, she used a knife to trim her eyebrows.
"You have to do it even if you can't bring yourself to do it." Jiang Meilan scolded her, "Hurry up, I want to pluck my eyebrows and put on some makeup before meeting Chen Zhanlie."
"I just don't believe it. I'm so beautiful, how could he look down on me?"
It has to be said that Jiang Meilan was a bit angry. After being rejected by Shen Zhanlie, she felt sorry for herself, but then she turned around and became full of fighting spirit again.
Jiang Meishu stood at the head of the bed, pursing her lips. "Then I can't pull it out either. I only know how to trim my eyebrows with a razor."
As soon as these words fell, Jiang Meilan became excited and said, "Then you can use a knife."
He turned around and went to the kitchen to get a shiny kitchen knife for Jiang Meishu.
Jiang Meilan, “…………”
no.
Is this eyebrow trimming or murder?
Jiang Meishu couldn't bring herself to use such a big kitchen knife.
"How do you want me to do it?" She gestured, her voice full of pride and confidence. "Cut my eyebrows horizontally, cut my nose vertically. I'm asking you, do you still want your face?"
Jiang Meilan finally gave up and said, "Then let's use tweezers."
Jiang Meishu, "Are you not going to trim your eyebrows?"
"Besides, my aunt hasn't come back yet. How do you know if this marriage exchange will be successful? What if Director Liang doesn't agree?"
Jiang Meilan spitted, "You crow mouth, you look just like me, why doesn't Director Liang agree?"
“Director Liang isn’t as blind as Shen Zhanlie.”
As a result, the words were not finished yet.
There was a knock on the door.
Jiang Meilan stood up suddenly and said, "It's over."
"Auntie is back so soon, could it be that what you said was right?"
Jiang Meishu said nothing, lifted the floral curtain and followed him out, "Go out and take a look, and you'll know."
As soon as she came out, she saw Jiang Lamei standing at the door, holding a nylon net bag of red apples in her hand, and the apples were emitting a fragrant aroma.
It instantly filled the entire room.
It’s been a long time.
As soon as Jiang Lamei came in, Jiang Meishu's eyes were glued to the apple, no other reason.
I'm hungry.
Ever since I came here, I can’t even have enough to eat three meals a day, let alone eat fruit, which is a luxury among luxuries.
Jiang Meilan was different. Her attention was completely focused on Jiang Lamei. When she saw her come back, she immediately went over to ask, "Auntie, how is it? Did Director Liang agree?"
When she asked, Jiang Lamei picked up the apples, found a stool and sat down without saying a word.
Jiang Meilan felt uneasy.
Lin Qiaoling, who was standing nearby, seemed a bit bewildered. She smiled and livened up the atmosphere, "Well, after all, our Meilan is so lucky! I work in the Propaganda Department, and they're all talking about how Meilan is going to marry Director Liang. And I'm being praised and admired because of her."
This is like flattery that hits the horse's hoof.
Jiang Meilan's face suddenly drooped. "Who wants to marry Director Liang?"
"Auntie, stop hesitating. I'm just asking you, has Director Liang agreed to the replacement?"
Jiang Lamei didn't know how to answer this question. She didn't answer directly, but held up the net bag of apples in her hand and said, "Director Liang gave it to me when I left."
"Meilan, Director Liang is a really good blind date."
"What does that have to do with me?" Jiang Meilan asked word by word, without even looking at Apple. "Did he agree?"
The atmosphere suddenly reached freezing point.
Jiang Meishu swallowed her saliva with a gulp.
Everyone looked over.
Jiang Meishu's eyes glowed green with hunger. "You two can talk about important matters first. I'm going to wash an apple and eat it."
Jiang Meilan, “…”
Jiang Meilan had really never seen anyone like her sister.
My mind is full of eating.
"Eat, eat, eat. What will you do if the marriage exchange fails?"
Jiang Meilan felt quite disappointed.
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and muttered, "If I don't succeed, it won't affect my ability to eat apples."
There are so many men, the worst that can happen is that I can just find someone else.
It's almost there, so what.
I'm just trying to make a living, why should I be so picky?
She stretched out her hand, "Auntie, give me an apple, I want to eat it!"
Jiang Lamei looked at her niece's heartless appearance and sighed, "You two really should even out your temperaments."
A person with many tricks on his mind.
A thief has no good intentions.
Okay.
The originally tense atmosphere was instantly shifted.
Jiang Lamei handed over the net bag, took out one and handed it to her. Jiang Meishu happily took it, took it to the kitchen to wash it, and was about to take a bite when she remembered that there was someone outside.
She sighed, resigned herself to her fate, and cut a few cloves with a kitchen knife, preparing to share them with others, and not forgetting to put a piece into her mouth.
Sweet apples, with a fruity aroma, soft and pink.
Jiang Meishu swore that she had never eaten such a delicious apple. She held it in her mouth cherishingly, not wanting to bite it open, and came out holding the cut apple.
Then I heard people outside saying.
"Director Liang does not agree to the marriage exchange."
"He still wants to go on a blind date with Meilan."
As soon as these words fell, Jiang Meilan immediately exploded, "Why does he disagree?"
Why don't both of them agree to change?
Wang Limei couldn't help but sneer at this. "Then why did they agree? Didn't our family hand over the photos because you agreed to a blind date with Director Liang?"
Jiang Lamei mediated, "Director Liang isn't a domineering person. He told me that if you don't want this blind date, you can cancel it. I didn't want to disappoint Director Liang, so I took the initiative to accept such a good blind date on Meilan's behalf."
At this moment, Jiang Meilan fell silent.
She knew she was biased, but judging from the clips, Liang Qiurun was indeed a gentleman in his previous life.
He had made it clear to her before they got married that he needed someone to stay behind and help him discipline the children.
At first she thought the other party was just talking nonsense.
But I didn't expect that the other party had put his words into practice for twenty years.
Liang Qiurun regards his work as his home. Even if he occasionally returns home in the middle of the night, he always stays in the study.
For twenty years, he had never stepped into her room, and Jiang Meilan had doubts many times.
Is Liang Qiurun impotent?
Seeing that she didn't speak.
Jiang Lamei said, "Meilan, you don't want to give up Director Liang, a good blind date, but you should also consider your sister. If you take Shen Zhanlie away, what will happen to her?"
"Given her health, if she can't find a suitable marriage partner, she'll have to go to the countryside. Do you think she can survive more than three months there?"
Jiang Meishu, who was eating an apple, didn't need to speak so bluntly.
Jiang Meilan didn't say anything.
Wang Limei thought about it and said, "Why don't we stick with the original plan? Meilan goes on a blind date with Director Liang, and Meishu goes on a blind date with Shen Zhanlie."
"don't want!"
The twin sisters said in unison.
One is that I can’t stand Liang Qiurun’s impotence.
One is that he can't stand it, Shen Zhanlie is too strong.
"Alright, alright, you two are going to rebel, I'm not going to take care of this anymore!"
Wang Limei was so angry. At first, it was just the eldest daughter who was making trouble, but now, the eldest daughter took the lead and the younger daughter also started to make trouble.
"What's wrong with Director Liang?"
"What's wrong with Shen Zhanlie?"
"Let you despise me like this."
Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan remained silent. The more you talk at a time like this, the more mistakes you make.
"Then tell me what to do? The day after tomorrow is the blind date. If you don't decide, you'll all go back to the countryside. I really don't want to see it."
My real mother.
Looking at that, I wish I could stuff them all back into my stomach.
Pretend it wasn’t born.
The room fell silent.
"If you ask me, there is a way."
Lin Qiaoling, who had listened to the whole story from beginning to end, suddenly said something.
Everyone looked over immediately.
"Can you think of a way?"
Lin Qiaoling hummed, "Isn't Director Liang going on a blind date with Meilan? Meilan doesn't want to go on a blind date with him, and our family doesn't want to lose Director Liang's big, thick legs. How about this, let Meilan and Meishu switch?"
