Chapter 8 Eating from the Bowl and Watching the Pot

The person Xu Yishan wants to go on a blind date with is a music teacher from Gushan Town Middle School named Liu Mei.

Liu Mei's hometown is also from Gushan Town, and her parents know Xu Chijiao. They are considered acquaintances.

Seeing that his son was almost thirty years old and still had no home, Xu Chiji felt as anxious as a pot of boiling water.

One day he went to school to give living expenses to his youngest son Xu Xiaoshan. He met Liu Mei at the school gate. He asked Liu Mei where Xu Xiaoshan's class was. Liu Mei enthusiastically took him to find Xu Xiaoshan and sent him out of the school gate.

He was very touched.

Xu Chijiao was worried about the marriage of his eldest son Xu Yishan, so when he met a beautiful girl, his first thought was to know if she was married.

He stopped Liu Mei and asked: "Girl, how old are you this year?"

Liu Mei's eyes were smiling like a crescent moon, and she shyly told him, "Uncle Xu, I am 23 this year."

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Xu Chiji asked abruptly.

Liu Mei blushed with embarrassment and whispered: "I'm still young and don't have a boyfriend."

Xu Chijiao was overjoyed. He looked at Liu Mei from head to toe several times, nodded and left without saying a word.

After Xu Chijie left school, he went straight to Liu Mei's house without stopping for a moment.

Xu Chijiao knew very well whose daughter Liu Mei was.

Liu Mei's parents are both honest people and they opened a Nanzao store on the street of Gushan Town.

Lao Liu went to see Xu Chijie for medical treatment, and the two of them were acquaintances of each other.

The father played a matchmaker with his son, leaving Lao Liu dumbfounded. Lao Liu respected Xu Chijie and left him at home to eat and drink. Xu Chijie told Lao Liu everything about his son Xu Yishan, hoping that the two families could get married.

Lao Liu didn't dare to make the decision, so he expressed his attitude and said that the children had to make up their own minds about such matters. Otherwise, let them go on a blind date first.

Xu Chijiao agreed, so he made an appointment with Lao Liu and asked them to meet on the day of the gathering. Whether it succeeds or not, we will talk about it later.

Xu Yishan expressed his position and said that the blind date was unnecessary. He was now a registered person and was not qualified to go on a blind date with other girls.

Xu Chiji said: "Others don't know that you have registered. Besides, I have no idea about your marriage. Yishan, just listen to me. There is no pie in the sky. This marriage of yours is not a good thing."

Xu Yishan said anxiously: "What can I do? You can tell me, but I won't tell you."

Xu Chijie replied readily: "Okay, I'll tell you. I know what kind of feet our family has and what kind of shoes we should wear. The Chen family you are talking about must be taking advantage of you."

"What are they using me for?" Xu Yishan said angrily: "I have no money and no power, so what are they using me for?"

Xu Chiji said with a smile: "You are still too young. There are all kinds of people in society. Even though the family named Chen are all big cadres, who knows what kind of tricks they have? You also know that you have no money and no money.

Damn it, why do people like you? You really think there is smoke coming out of our ancestral graves."

The father and son got into a fight, and neither one gave in to the other.

Xu Chijie's attitude was very clear, and he did not try to reach out to the Chen family and go on a blind date with Liu Mei.

Xu Yishan said helplessly: "Dad, think about it, Chen Xiaoqi and I have already registered our marriage, and we are legally husband and wife. In what capacity do I go on a blind date with others now? Even if you hide this matter, what can you do in your conscience?

Is it passable? Isn’t this insulting to others?”

Xu Chiji said angrily: "I don't care. Anyway, I will definitely not go to meet them. If I want to, I will make it clear to them face to face that my son cannot afford to do so."

Xu Yishan was so angry that he didn't even eat dinner and went outside to relax alone.

Sister Xu Xiu followed quietly. Seeing that her brother was agitated, she comforted Xu Yishan and said: "Brother, don't be afraid of dad. He is a man who wants to save face. He went to his home to talk to him in person. If you don't go now, he will

I feel embarrassed. Otherwise, if you deal with him once and just say you don't like him, the matter will be over."

Xu Yishan looked at his sister and sighed: "Xiu, you don't understand. This is a matter of principle. Think about it, if I go, I will be sorry to everyone. After all, your brother is married, so I go like this

Blind date, not only is it not allowed by law, but it is also morally unjustifiable."

Xu Xiu is the only girl in the Xu family and has just turned 18 this year.

Xu Xiuren was very well-behaved and obedient. She had good academic performance and had every hope of going to college like her elder brother. However, Xu Chiji stopped letting her study and forced her daughter to study medicine with him.

Only he knew Xu Chijiao's plan. After all, his daughter belonged to someone else's family. The more she read, the further she would fly in the future. It would be better to stay with him and inherit the traditional Chinese medicine field, and find a good family around her in the future.

Married.

Xu Yishan even had a quarrel with his father because of Xu Xiu's study.

Xu Yishan insisted that his sister study, but Xu refused even to the point of death. The father and son argued fiercely, but in the end Xu Yishan was defeated. Not only could his arm twist his thigh, but the key was that Xu Xiu herself agreed to her father's request.

"Brother, I heard that my sister-in-law's family is full of high-ranking officials. Are you going to be an official too?" Xu Xiu asked with a smile.

"They are not considered high officials. No matter how powerful the cadres in the county are, how big can they be? It's just that they are a little higher in rank than the cadres in Gushan Town."

"Brother, how old is my sister-in-law?"

Xu Yishan grinned and said: "She is a cadre of the Women's Federation, specializing in the work of women and children like you. She should be about the same age as the town secretary."

Xu Xiu opened her mouth in surprise and said with envy: "My sister-in-law is really capable. She became such a big official at such a young age. Brother, you are also capable. Otherwise, how could my sister-in-law fall in love with you?"

The brother and sister chatted for a while, and when they heard their mother calling them, Xu Xiu said to Xu Yishan, "Brother, let's go back. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."

At night, Xu Yishan almost stayed up all night.

If the transportation was convenient, Xu Yishan would have fled long ago. He has been thinking of a solution that would not make his father angry and avoid going on a blind date.

He knew that he should never go on a blind date. If this matter reached Chen Xiaoqi's ears, how would he explain it? Isn't it obvious that he was eating from the bowl and looking at the pot?

But if he doesn't go, how can his father let him go?

Based on his understanding of his father, Xu Chiji, Xu Chiji is an old man with a very stubborn temper. Even though he is a barefoot doctor, no one can compare to him in accepting death.

For example, someone suggested that he use his traditional Chinese medicine skills to open a clinic on the streets of Gushan Town, which would not only make money but also expand his reputation. It was a good thing to get the best of both worlds, but Xu Barefoot refused.

Xu Chijiao said that his family has an ancient saying that hanging a pot to help the world is not for money, but to bury your reputation in the mountains and wilderness.

He regretted not coming back.

Director Chen Yong requested that before holding a wedding for him and Chen Xiaoqi, the two elderly people must meet.

Xu Yishan promised at the time that getting married was a big deal and of course his parents should know about it. And he thought happily that his father and mother had been worried about his marriage. Now if he told them the good news, they would be very happy.

He also thought that his parents were farmers, and Chen Xiaoqi's parents were leaders. The two families seemed to be on different paths, but as long as Chen Xiaoqi became his wife, no matter how high her family's status was, what did it matter?

It wasn't until daybreak that he decided that as soon as he could see the road clearly, he would quietly rush to the town and take the first bus back to the city.

As long as he runs away, there's nothing dad can do to him. He can't go to the county town and kidnap him back.

Unexpectedly, when he woke up, it was already broad daylight.
