Chapter 52 The Blind Date in the City
On this day, the wind was calm and the sun was shining brightly. The golden sunlight filtered through the morning mist, and the magpies were chirping on the trees, as if announcing good news.
A bus from Dingzhou to Beijing slowly stopped at the stop.
As soon as the car door opened, people poured out. Liang Jinxiu hurriedly poked his head, as if he was looking for something.
Where is the person? The last one also got off the bus, but he still couldn’t be found. Maybe he wasn’t on this bus.
After taking a look at the bus timetable, Liang Jinxiu felt a little overwhelmed. The next bus would not be available until five in the afternoon.
"cousin."
Hearing the sound, Liang Jinxiu looked back.
I saw a young woman walking over. Although she was not wearing any makeup, she was pretty and charming, with a sweet smile and her hair pulled into a bun. She looked a little cute and cute.
She also has a beauty mark on the corner of her mouth. Her skin is snow-white, and her cuffs are soft and white, attracting passers-by to look sideways, and some even stop to watch.
Liang Jinxiu was stunned. If she couldn't vaguely see the old appearance, she would have doubted whether the other party had admitted his mistake.
Is this the same cousin who had a big runny nose, was timid and cried a lot, and often bullied me?
Last month, my aunt sent me a letter with a very simple content, asking her to introduce her daughter to a man in the city, who must be a worker.
My aunt's daughter is a bit high-minded and will look down on all the young men from the countryside.
If they want to marry, they can only marry a city worker. The old couple is worried about their little daughter's marriage and can't sleep all night.
In this era, in rural areas, if a woman is still unmarried at the age of twenty-five, she is an outlier among outliers, and the most outrageous among the outrageous.
There was no other way, so the aunt could only ask someone to deliver the letter and ask her younger brother Liang Songshan to help with the introduction. Liang Songshan was too lazy to take care of it, so this important task fell on Liang Jinxiu.
"Wenfang, let me help you carry your luggage. We have to transfer two buses to get there."
As soon as the two got on the bus, they became the focus of the whole car and attracted enthusiastic discussions among the passengers.
"Hey, this girl is so pretty!"
"Much better looking than the one at my house!"
"As a woman, I have to admit that this girl is indeed handsome!"
"You look good enough to be used as food, but you look so thin that you can't do farm work!"
After hearing this, Shen Wenfang felt happy and smiled shyly with her happy little mouth.
Liang Jinxiu lost her temper and felt unhappy, maybe because of jealousy, who knows.
The two of them sat at the back, the bus started moving, and the big trees on the roadside began to recede.
This is Shen Wenfang's first blind date in the city, and she is very excited.
"Sister, that Liao Xuemin you are talking about, what does he look like?" Shen Wenfang took Liang Jinxiu's arm, pressed against Liang Jinxiu's body, and turned her head slightly to look at Liang Jinxiu, her pretty face full of expressions. curious.
Liang Jinxiu glanced at it and said with a smile, "How good is it? I think it's okay!"
"Jinxiu!" Shen Wenfang pouted, "What do you mean you think it's okay? Isn't she very ugly? If she's too ugly, I won't marry her."
Liang Jinxiu curled her lips and said, "Stop being picky, it would be great if someone in the city marries you!"
"Jinxiu, how can you say that?" Shen Wenfang pursed her lips even higher, "I don't look good enough for a city man?"
"There's nothing wrong with your appearance," Liang Jinxiu said, "but you should know that men in the city are unwilling to marry girls from the countryside."
"It's because of the household registration issue again!" Shen Wenfang was a little annoyed.
"Isn't this enough?"
Liang Jinxiu didn't want to hurt her cousin's self-confidence, so she comforted her softly: "Don't be discouraged. Zhou Jianguo in our courtyard has a rural registered permanent residence. He married into the Zhang family, and Zhang Qian is also the canteen director of the factory. This is right. It’s not like there’s no chance.”
"Then Liao Xuemin you're talking about, doesn't he dislike rural hukou?" Shen Wenfang opened her eyes wide, slightly nervous!
Liang Jinxiu smiled and said, "If he dislikes me, he won't come!"
Shen Wenfang let go of Liang Jinxiu's arm, pouted and said, "That's right, you are almost thirty and haven't gotten married yet, so of course you won't choose!"
From the look on her face, she was obviously dissatisfied with this blind date whom she had yet to meet!
At this time, Liang Jinxiu advised again, "Wen Fang, don't think too much. Liao Xuemin is a very good man. You will be happy marrying him. His only shortcoming is that he has a stingy and calculating father." !”
After hearing this, Shen Wenfang pursed her lips and smiled, but her smile immediately froze.
"wrong."
"What's wrong?" Liang Jinxiu asked.
Shen Wenfang asked, "Jinxiu, what did you just say about being calculating? What do you mean?"
Liang Jinxiu knew that she had spilled the beans, so she smiled and said:
"Teacher Liao is a nice person, but he is very calculating."
"His son goes to his house to eat, and he has to pay 30 cents for food and 50 cents for accommodation."
"The eldest son of his family got married, but the couple didn't have any money to pay. The eldest son of the Liao family worked as an apprentice for five years before he could save enough money for the wedding!"
"Is there such a thing?" Shen Wenfang next to him was shocked. Who is this? He even plotted against his own son.
Liang Jinxiu smiled and said, "But Liao Xuemin didn't inherit his father's calculations, so you don't have to worry!"
"Really? Jinxiu, don't lie to me!" Shen Wenfang said with some doubts.
Liang Jinxiu rolled her eyes and said, "I can't lie to anyone, but I can't lie to my sister!"
"I feel relieved now! Hehe!" Shen Wenfang laughed again.
Liang Jinxiu smiled and said, "Wen Fang, let me tell you, if you marry Xuemin, don't forget me in the future."
"How could that be possible?" Shen Wenfang smiled and took Liang Jinxiu's arm.
"That's right!" Shen Wenfang suddenly looked at Liang Jinxiu, "I remember there was someone named Xue Ling in your courtyard?"
"Yes." Liang Jinxiu nodded and said, "Hey, how did you know!"
"My uncle said it in his letter last year."
"What else did my dad say in the letter?" Liang Jinxiu then remembered that his dad did have the habit of writing letters every month, and it turned out that he was sending them to his aunt's house.
"I also talked about donating money. The neighbors in your courtyard are so harmonious."
Shen Wenfang was keenly aware that her cousin was frowning slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
"When I talk about donations from the whole hospital, I think of someone who didn't donate a penny. When I think of her, I get angry and forget about that person."
"Xue Ling's husband died of a work-related injury not long after they got married last year, leaving an orphan and widowed mother. The factory only gave the Xue family 200 yuan in compensation!"
"It's so miserable!" Shen Wenfang pouted, feeling pitiful, and asked, "Didn't the people in your courtyard help her family?"
Liang Jinxiu snorted and said, "Everyone is not rich these days, and they can't even afford food. Who can help her? This is a bottomless pit."
"Is it okay to help occasionally?" Liang Jinxiu looked puzzled.
Liang Jinxiu glanced at Shen Wenfang, feeling a little impatient.
"I said Wen Fang, why do you care so much about that Xue Ling? That girl is not an economical person."
Two hours later, the car stopped!
Liang Jinxiu stood up and said, "We're here, get off the car!"
At this time, Shen Wenfang thought of Liao Xuemin again.
Is he ugly or not?
