Go on a blind date again (Part 2)
"My situation, as I told you just now, my brothers and sisters are all married, and my biological parents have passed away. Now there is only one stepfather left. I can accept the step-in-the-door step. "To be honest, I really hope that this marriage can happen so that I can have a family as soon as possible. I have been wandering outside for a long time, with no one to rely on, and this lonely heart has nowhere to stop. I really hope to have a warm home!
"Oh, Xiao Sun, think about it carefully and don't compromise too much." The girl's father was worried that I was acting impulsively, so he suggested that I think about it carefully.
"As for 'tiger starves to death without eating grass', that's what I think. As far as its original meaning is concerned, this is determined by the life attributes of the animal itself. Maybe their stomach and intestines are not suitable for digesting plants?" I deliberately concealed my true thoughts, not wanting to appear too arrogant or too ambitious, " A person's survival is the foundation of everything. Only by being able to survive can one have the opportunity to develop. If one only looks at the high and does not look down on the low, then all the wishes can only be regarded as fantasy. "Say this, I finally realized my shabby situation, and my current situation is very consistent with what I said. How can I have the energy to talk about the future and dreams?
looked at the girl's father again. He was nodding his head. It could be seen that he was quite satisfied with what I said.
"Xiao Sun, as a man, you should still have your own dreams!" My daughter's father said this, which shocked me. My hands trembled involuntarily and I almost spilled the water in the cup to the ground. "Could it be that he is also the same as ht in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" ml1Cao Mengde was talking about heroes over a cup of wine, specifically referring to Liu Bei "Today's heroes are all about envoys and caoer"? "Want to test my ambition?"
While hesitating, my daughter's father talked about his time in the brigade. Regarding the committee member of the branch, as well as the knowledge and knowledge he and other members of the brigade visited in many places in the south, his words showed the breadth and pride of his knowledge. I just took a deep breath and said, "Oh, he is self-proclaimed! He is not just testing me."
After answering these questions, I was thinking and looking forward to, "What will the girl who comes back soon look like? Is she just like Lancome in the class, tall and big, with a button-like face and smile?"
... ...
While talking with my daughter's father, my daughter and her mother, who was teaching in the village, came back together. But when I saw this girl, she was about 1.5 meters tall, not very tall, with a square face, not thin, but rather stocky, and not as green as a girl. She looked more like a married village woman who came back to her parents' home to visit relatives. The chalk dust was still in her fingers, and there was a strong and heroic look between her brows. She didn't look like a girl, but more like a man. She came in and stood by the sofa, staring at me blankly.
"My daughter, this is Sun Dake. Your uncle in the army asked Uncle Liu outside the house to introduce me. My hometown is Zhangjiakou." My daughter's father first introduced me to his daughter. At this moment, the other party looked at me and I felt a little weak, so I quickly stood up and hurriedly arranged for the other party to sit down.
"Oh, how do I call you?"
"My name is Jiang Yuelong, how old are you?" What a direct introduction, such a domineering manly name, and a straightforward question.
"I was born in 1975, and I am 22 years old this year." At this moment, I realized that I was not here to look after others, but they were looking after me.
"Then you are too young. I am four years older than you. I am already 26 this year." Jiang Yuelong is indeed several years older than me. He is too mature and does not have the nagging energy of a little girl. He speaks straight to the point.
"Oh, I heard about it." At this moment, I said timidly like a child adopted by a child.
"Then you still dare to come? I am so much older than you. I only have a junior high school education. I am just a private elementary school teacher. I may be laid off one day! You still have to step in, aren't you at a loss?" Jiang Yuelong's voice was as rough as her mother's.
"Oh, I can accept it!" In order to eat for free, I have long lost my personality and bottom line. Like a middle-aged woman, I can accept it at that moment. Think about it, this is not looking for a partner, but looking for a big sister.
"You should think about it carefully! I still have classes, so I'm leaving first!" After saying this, Jiang Yuelong turned around and left without leaving any other words.
Jiang Yuelong is too straightforward. In comparison, she is like a man who has one man in charge and no one can do anything. I am more like a little brother who has been coaxed by her. is like a little girl , and I need a lot of guidance and guidance from her.
At this time, it was almost noon, Jiang Yuelong's mother was already preparing lunch outside the house, and because I was in a hurry in the morning, I didn't bother to have breakfast. I was indeed a little hungry, and I was eager to start a meal quickly and eat something good to make up for the long-lost oil and water in my stomach.
Lunch was boiled noodles, big fried dough sticks bought from the village market, and stir-fried vegetables. During the meal, Jiang Yuelong also came back. The group sat at a table, and Jiang Yuelong didn't say much. Only her mother told me, "Young man, eat more, you are too thin!"
I thought her food was too simple, but I secretly complained in my heart. But because I was hungry, I stopped being polite and said, "Let's talk after you're full!"
As I ate, when half the bowl of noodles was left, I discovered that there were two eggs nestled at the bottom of the bowl, also called poached eggs. I raised my head and took a look, and found that there was only one egg at the bottom of brother Liu's bowl. So I couldn't help it, a warm current rose up in my heart, and my eyes felt strange, "Yes, few people have cared about me like this since my mother passed away!" At that moment, my mood was a little complicated, as if there was something in my throat, I couldn't help but move, and instantly, I felt that Jiang Yuelong's mother was not so ugly, and became more simple, honest, and cute.
finished eating and drank some water. Jiang Yuelong went back to school.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, we were leaving. Jiang Yuelong's father and mother sent us out and told the driver to slow down on the road. They also specially invited me, "If you have nothing to do, come here. It's so pitiful that you don't have a mother at this age! If you don't mind, auntie will cook for you!" Brother Liu was anxious to go back to wholesale vegetables, but I kept looking back and humbly said to them, "Uncle, aunt, don't give it away, go back!"
But until I got in the car, Jiang Yuelong's parents were still standing at the door of the yard, watching quietly, waving their hands, refusing to leave. Sitting in the back seat of the car, I turned around and looked around. The scene suddenly reminded me of déjà vu. "Every time I left home, my mother would see me off like this. She would stand at the gate, hunched over, and keep looking in the direction I was leaving until she was out of sight!"
I couldn't help but feel a little moved, for the two poached eggs at the bottom of the bowl, for the enthusiasm of the two elders, and for the girl who was four years older than me, as straightforward as a man. "At this moment, she should be standing on the podium again, with a heroic voice, guiding the children to read loudly, right? Will she remember me?"
Along the way, Brother Liu turned around and asked me, "Brother, how are you?"
I didn't say anything, I was immersed in thinking about this family.
"Brother, let me see, your family agrees with you, and I have given you an extra poached egg. Now, it's up to you!" Brother Liu looked careless, but he turned out to be a caring person. He could clearly observe the poached eggs at the bottom of the bowl. No wonder he saves so much money selling vegetables.
sent Brother Liu back and I walked back to the unit. It was getting late.I was still in a daze about what happened today, so I sat on the steps at the door of the dormitory building, facing the warm sun in the west, raising my head and staring at the green of the Western Mountains, which looked so close and clear. I was hesitating in my heart, "Is it necessary to tell dad about this? Will he agree with the matter of knocking in the door? According to Jiang Yuelong's father, if there is a child after marriage in the future, they will have to take the woman's surname. Will dad be willing to do this? Dad has been pulling me for so many years, and he also hopes that I can give him his old age. I want to leave a nominal descendant! If my surname is "Jiang", what's the point? Isn't it a failure of my father's expectations? Some of them were so red that I couldn't open my eyes. Because I couldn't think of a clue, I didn't bother to think about it. I just watched the people coming and going on both sides of the street.
At this moment, I heard a voice yelling at me, "Dake, why are you sitting here? Didn't you go to work today?" I turned around and saw that Wu Shumin was pushing the car back. She had just gotten off work.
"Oh, oh, nothing happened. Well, I didn't go today." I didn't dare to tell the truth about going on a blind date. I can't break a girl's heart. Eating food from the bowl and looking at the food from the pot is what girls hate the most. After all, after all, I have already held someone's hand, and they didn't object. What does this mean? Any fool should understand.
"Let's go! Come up with me. I bought some vegetables and meat. Let's go cook together!" Wu Shumin was unambiguous and her enthusiasm remained the same.
Even though Guo Jinming came last time and said that Wu Shumin had body odor, which made me feel grudged, I still couldn’t refuse the warm invitation. I got up and patted the dirt on my butt, coyly, and followed up.
"Please go and wash these vegetables, I'll cut them, I'll fry them. I'll let you try my cooking today."
"Oh, oh, oh, good! I'll go!" I didn't know what to say, because I had something in my heart, and I was still a little overwhelmed when facing Wu Shumin. At this moment, she asked me to wash the vegetables, and I could go out and hide for a while to calm down.
The water room was more than ten meters away from Wu Shumin's dormitory, and it was only a few steps away. I picked the celery and green peppers in my hands and washed them vigorously, once, twice, three or four times. I delayed as much as possible, letting myself stay alone for a while longer, and let the running water wash away my impetuous thoughts, even for a short cooling off. I feel that by doing this, I really feel sorry for Wu Shumin’s infatuation.
stayed in the water room for nearly ten minutes. Because I was worried that Wu Shumin would rush me, I quickly shook the water on the vegetable leaves and roared hard. After that, I calmed down and went over.
"Oh, I've been here for such a long time, and this is clean enough. Okay, sit there and rest for a while." Wu Shumin started to get busy. She was cutting vegetables and preparing pepper and aniseed ingredients. The small chopping board couldn't hold it, so she temporarily put the cut vegetables into the basin, which was very convenient. As for me, there was nothing I could do to help. Out of embarrassment, I saw a magazine beside her bed, so I pretended to flip through it.
Peanut oil was distributed at work during the Chinese New Year. I didn’t cook much myself, so I poured half a bucket of it for Wu Shumin. I thought as I listened to the "sizzling" of oil in the pot, and the sound of stir-frying vegetables and meat. (To be continued...)
