Chapter 5 Untitled
In the early morning, Lu Dong got up early. He originally planned to finish the remaining work on the furniture customized by others two days ago, but he didn't want to do it. He had no choice but to lie back on the bed lazily with his clothes on, closing his eyes and wandering.
I kept thinking about my own worries, and the scenes in my mind were all about the dinner with my parents the night before. One was the blurry figure of Wan Feng's cousin I had never met before, and the other was the scene where my parents asked a matchmaker to introduce a partner to me.
.
It’s time to find a partner. Ma Liu, from Qian Street, had a child at the age of 16. The sea water is about the same size as himself, and he has been married for a few months. His close friends are either married or with partners, but he is still alone.
, I am alone. I have work to do during the day, which is bearable, but when night falls, I can only enjoy the embarrassment and distress caused by loneliness. How can I stand in front of others! But even if I want to talk, there is no one around me who is pleasing to the eye, so it seems that I have to leave.
go out.
Lu Dong thought about it and suddenly thought of a girl who was among Guizhi's guests when Hai Hai got married. He was really moved by it at that time and could not forget it for a long time. It could be seen from her half-smiling and evasive eyes.
She should be interested in him. The two people's eyes seemed to have collided inadvertently many times, and it seemed that a kind of affection naturally arose in them. It was only my fault that I didn't follow suit. Later, due to busy work, I let the matter go. Times have changed.
, I wonder if the girl still has her heart. Thinking of this, Lu Dong not only felt regretful, but also raised his palm and slapped his head hard twice. His heart ached, and he was anxious, lest the girl had someone and missed her.
I regret my whole life. It's not too late. But I asked Guizhi to introduce me or go to the door myself! How can I impress the girl again? Will the girl accept his feelings? Lu Dong couldn't figure it out for a while. He thought of his parents taking care of the family.
It was not easy to move back to my hometown from Xijing, and my parents worked hard. When I thought that I was an adult and my parents had to worry about me, I felt a little sad without knowing it. I tossed and turned, and my eyes were wet with tears.
My mother Xinlan's voice came from the window: "Lu Dong, get up quickly and finish your meal quickly. I'll finish cleaning up and go to the ground."
Lu Dong raised his body, rubbed his eyes and walked out of the house.
Xinlan saw that Lu Dong was not in a high mood, so she asked again: "Seeing that you are not happy, you get up and lie down again, is there something on your mind!?"
Lu Dong was embarrassed to say what was on his mind, so he muttered: "It's okay, it's okay."
Xinlan saw that something was wrong with Lu Dong, but she didn't want him to feel bored, so she said, "If you have nothing to do, just eat quickly. After dinner, go for a walk and get some fresh air to wake up."
.............
After leaving the Haishang construction site, Guizhi went to buy two pastries and cans early, leaving one for her parents-in-law, and putting the other in her bag and hanging it on the handlebars of her bicycle. She pushed out the bicycle and was about to go back to her parents' home, but she thought about it.
, something felt wrong, so I went back to the house and took off the photo frame on the wall, took out the photo of myself and Liu Qin inside, walked out of the courtyard and came to the door of Aunt Xinlan's house.
"Aunt-, Aunt-, are you at home?" Guizhi asked as she pushed the courtyard door and walked in.
"Come on, come on, are you at home, do you want to eat?" Xinlan enthusiastically pulled up the small chair and let Guizhi do it.
"After eating, I have something to do with Lu Dong. Please be busy, Auntie!" Guizhi said.
"Then you guys talk about it, I'll go to the vegetable field." Xinlan wanted Guizhi to hurry up and take care of Lu Dong's affairs, so he didn't dare to delay her for a moment, so he excused himself and walked out of the yard.
Lu Dong was eating, and when he heard it was Guizhi, he was very happy. He just wanted to ask for you, so you came. Is it really fate? He hurriedly answered: "What's the matter? Guizhi, tell me, it's your business."
It’s my business.”
"It's not my business, it's your business. I'll take a look at the furniture you're making now and want to get some work for you. Do you agree?" Guizhi said.
"Thank you in advance. Let's go and take a look under the shed." Lu Dong said.
The two of them walked under the shed while talking. Guizhi pretended to touch here and there, and then said: "You have such fine hair, my classmate is getting married, I will recommend your furniture to her."
"You must do it carefully and make sure that both she and you are satisfied." Lu Dong said, worried that it was the girl he was thinking about. He was anxious and panicked, and he couldn't hold himself back and continued: "By the way, Guizhi, which classmate of yours is this?
Married? Are you a girl or a boy? It won't be the one I gave you last time, right?" Hai Hai is a few months older than Lu Dong. The two have a good relationship and have been together for a long time. By the way, Lu Dong has never called Guizhi sister-in-law.
, always nominate the surname Dao, Guizhi doesn't care.
"Which one are you talking about?" Guizhi pretended to be confused.
"I only want to ask one question, the one who is tall and slender, with a single braid, and an oval face." Lu Dong was not shy at all and simply expressed his thoughts. Although we haven't met yet, I don't know if she is willing. Lu Dong
I already have a wish in my heart that I can't lose, and I know in my heart that she is the only one for me.
"You're talking about Liuqin, right?" Guizhi knew what was going on, and asked deliberately pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Lu Dongdao: "I don't know what her name is. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I have a deep impression of her. I always feel that we are destined to be together. Could you please help me connect the dots!"
"It's possible to pull strings, but I don't know if she has a partner." Guizhi wanted to control Lu Dong, but she was really worried that Liu Qin would have a partner, and that would be the end. Thinking like this in her heart, she still said to Lu Dong: "How about you ask me
Leave it to the matchmaker. We are not matchmakers. I am afraid that if things go wrong, you will be the one to complain. Let the matchmaker speak first and I will help you later. What do you want to say?"
"I don't want to rely on a matchmaker and let the old get involved in young people's affairs, which makes me feel uncomfortable. Please, Guizhi! It's done. As long as you want to eat fish, I can offer it to you at any time. Do you agree?" Lu Dong
Said in a pleading tone.
Guizhi said: "It's not about eating fish. I'm worried that you won't be able to win her over. People have very high standards!"
Lu Dong hurriedly answered: "It's my problem if we don't succeed after pulling the strings. I'm just as grateful to you!"
Guizhi didn't answer Lu Dong's words, with a look of embarrassment on her face.
When Lu Dong saw Guizhi's expression, he hurriedly continued: "Guizhi, please help me. If you help me this time, I will be your soldier from now on, and I will fight wherever you tell me!"
"Really? If the seawater bullies me, and I ask you to fight the seawater, will you fight?" Guizhi said with a smile.
"It depends on what you said, that's your old man, how dare I!" Lu Dong looked embarrassed.
"So you still don't want me to help you!" Guizhi said.
"Okay, okay, fight, definitely fight." Lu Dong said hurriedly.
"If that's your attitude, I'll help you out. I don't dare to delay this matter. I'll go back to my parents' house in a while and try my best to help you." Guizhi said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, thank you very much. If you need to buy any gifts, I will reimburse you." Lu Dong said.
"That's not necessary. I'll go right away." Guizhi was about to leave when he suddenly remembered the photo in his pocket. He took it out and pointed at the photo and asked Lu Dong: "Is this the girl you are talking about?"
Lu Dong hurriedly came over and looked at her carefully and said, "That's her!" Lu Dong didn't doubt that Guizhi was talking about this specifically.
Guizhi didn't answer Lu Dong's words anymore, carefully put the photo into her pocket, said goodbye to Lu Dong, went home, pushed the cart and left. As soon as she entered the gatehouse of her courtyard, she saw Aunt Xinlan and her mother-in-law sitting and talking under the gatehouse.
Bai Xinlan came here to wait to hear about the situation with Lu Dong just now, and immediately said: "Auntie, I know what you mean, but I am too anxious to eat hot tofu. Things have to be done step by step. Just now Lu Dong had privately begged me to give in.
I'll help negotiate an agreement, don't worry, I'll do my best."
"You don't know the heart of a mother. I have been eager to marry him a wife for the past two days, but my wish has come back." Xinlan said as she took out the 30 yuan she had prepared from her pocket. Then she said:
"You can't go empty-handed. Bring this money with you and buy some gifts first."
Guizhi hurriedly excused herself: "Aunt, let's not talk about the good relationship between our two families. Hai Hai and Lu Dong act like brothers all day long. They are fellow villagers. It's only right for me to help. If you do this again, you will be beating your niece-in-law.
Damn your face, don’t do this."
Mrs. Guizhi also helped Guizhi and said: "Put it away quickly, Xinlan, my wife knows how to give gifts, she won't accept them."
