National Tide 1980.

Chapter 583 Underestimation
Uncle Bian's words are indeed correct.

This girl Mu Yueying is still such a person, she actually has many advantages.

But just because she is like a big kid who loves to laugh and make trouble, she doesn't know how to look at the height of other people's eyebrows.

As a result, it is often impossible to discover other people's boredom in time and curb one's own behavior.

Often it is the enthusiasm to help others in the most unwelcome ways.

So her advantages were buried and ignored.

Even in many such small things, she has offended many people.

Only when you have dealt with her for a long time, let go of your prejudices, and look at her with a broader perspective, can you discover the loveliness in her.

This was the case today, just when Aunt Bian came into the house to complain to her wife.

This "Mu Guiying" quietly returned to the kitchen by herself.

She cleaned the pot and fried the rice again.

Then he called Bian Jiangong over, handed him a rolling pin, and asked him to use his strength to help crush the fried rice grains.

In this way, when Aunt Bian came out of the house again, "Mu Guiying" would be like an optimistic child again, showing off with a smile while holding the rice noodles she just made.

"Auntie, we've already made the rice noodles, so don't waste your effort! Look at ours, it's so yellow and fragrant! It's enough for you to steam two large pots of rice noodles and meat!"

Although her manner is still abrupt.

But when Aunt Bian picked up some fried rice noodles with her hands and smelled them through her nose, especially when she thought of what my wife had just said, she couldn't help feeling grateful for her kindness.

So it was rare to give a few words of praise.

"It's really authentic rice noodles! How can they be fried so well and rolled so finely? I can't see that you still have this patience. This is a delicate job of stir-frying on a low fire. I want to roll it so subdivided , It took a lot of effort, it’s really hard work for you..."

Unexpectedly, "Mu Guiying" was full of sincerity and enthusiasm, and she actually said something without taking any credit.

"What's the matter, what's the matter. Aunt, I always come to your house to eat and drink. What's the point of doing this?"

"You don't know, I'm actually very good at fried rice and fried noodles. I learned how to do it from my family when I was young. But when it comes to rolling, I can't do it. It's all thanks to meritorious service."

"Anyway, if there's anything we can use, don't be too polite, just talk! We can't do much, and it's always okay to help. The New Year's Eve dinner is the most tiring, I know that."

Aunt Bian loves to hear such words.

At this moment, facing "Mu Guiying" who never made her feel any good, she finally saw a smile on her face.

…………

Nothing can really be compared.

In fact, Uncle Bian was right about the other thing.

That is the situation under the wave of wedding celebrations brought about by the educated youths who returned to the city, and every household in the capital wished that there were older young people eager to start a family.

Bian Jiangong, his son's son, is considered pretty good to be able to find a girl he likes.

The situation of the Luo family in Courtyard No. 2 is obviously the worst.

All the old and young members of the Luo family, including Luo Guangliang himself, are losing confidence in his ability to start a family as soon as possible.

Why?

Just because in today's social background, most people's ideal son-in-law is someone who is innocent, has a decent job, can speak well, and preferably has some power, and the kind of person who has overseas connections.

As for Luo Guangliang, although he has a kind personality, a good body, and can make money, no one recognizes these.

On the contrary, I don't mind that he "has been in" because of "that kind of thing", and he hasn't had a stable job yet.

So Luo Guangliang is like an antique in troubled times, like gold in prosperous times, completely underestimated, and has become an inferior commodity that no one cares about in the marriage market.

In fact, except for the person introduced to him by his sister-in-law, he can make do with it.

All the others introduced to him by enthusiastic people are the ugliest, worst and most uninspired.

Once he visited six houses in one day, and they all looked like uncles and grandmas didn't love them.

One was still smoking a cigarette, exactly like the female spy who assassinated Lenin.

Luo Guangliang had always suspected that those old women had conspired to find these ugly monsters and introduce them to him.

But later he discovered that these guys were shrewd and measured.

It's not that they don't know those beautiful girls, they know a lot of girls!
The problem, though, is that these guys balance things out pretty precisely.

A chicken marries a chicken, a dog marries a dog, and a phoenix perches on a phoenix tree. Counting with fingers, the two parties must match.

In their minds, Luo Guangliang has no redeeming qualities other than his upright appearance and strength.

His marriage seems to be just a bastard with mung beans, and stinky fish looking for rotten shrimp.

Luo Guangliang once heard that Qiuzi's mother who wanted to introduce her niece to him scolded him behind his back.

That's how the old lady who always smiled at him gossiped about him indignantly.

"I don't even look at that period of my own history, and I want to pick and choose! To be honest, it would be nice if anyone dared to talk to him! Isn't my niece a bit big-tongued, and she doesn't speak so fluently. Apart from this, it's a delay What's the matter? He still doesn't like it? I don't know how much I weigh!"

This really made Luo Guangliang angry.

He finally realized that it was useless to worry about it.

Although he has always been a man in his own right, working hard to make money.

But in the eyes of some people, it was as if he had been a bandit who murdered and set fire.

Unfortunately, he can't block other people's mouths because of this, after all, he has gone the wrong way by himself.

And, to tell the truth, it was not that he did not sympathize with other people's misfortunes.

But the problem is that getting married is not a matter of showing style. He always feels that it is not suitable for him to find such a partner.

You know, Qiuzi's mother's niece Qiqi Ai's problems have reached a heinous level.

The sentence "I saw a big sugar guy yesterday, and it's still a melon", made him guess for three days before he figured out the answer.

The co-author is "I saw a big worm yesterday, and it was a flower".

And the point is, Qiuzi's mother's niece doesn't look too good.

Although it can't be said that people have nightmares after watching it, it will never make people feel any sweet feelings.

Of course, a person's beauty and ugliness should not only be seen on the surface. Newspapers and books are also taught in this way every day, saying that we should pay attention to the beauty of the soul.

But with this method of looking at the object, where can I look at the soul?
Besides, since they all call the beauty of the soul, why do people who call these words find a partner who is pleasing to the eye?
So even though he felt a little guilty and truly sympathized with Qiuzi's mother's niece, Luo Guangliang still couldn't date that girl.

And the last bit of sympathy for her disappeared because of Qiuzi's mother's words.

Needless to say, outsiders are unreliable, and those who really care about Luo Guangliang's affairs most must be his own family members.

But it was precisely the family's genuine concern for him that hurt Luo Guangliang the most.

Because gradually, Luo Guangliang discovered that the best words for those matchmakers to talk about him behind their backs were "the prodigal son turns back".

And the reason why they were so enthusiastic about introducing him one after another was because his family begged them secretly.

He even bought a lot of gifts for these hateful old ladies.

Luo Guangliang's father often sighed and advised him not to be too picky.

No matter how you look, you can live a lifetime, and if you grow up together, it will be pleasing to the eye.

Although Luo Guangliang's mother spoke very softly and euphemistically, Luo Guangliang could clearly feel the meaning beyond what she said. Why are you so picky?
For this reason, Luo Guangliang's chest hurts, which is several times more uncomfortable than those outsiders' gossip and outspokenness.

As for Luo Guangliang's brother and sister-in-law, they often quarreled at night because of his affairs.

Luo Guangsheng blamed Miao Yujuan for not being serious about the land, and not taking care of his younger brother's affairs.

"My younger brother has suffered so many years of crimes. At this age, he still doesn't have a partner. Your eyes are stretched out of your ribs? Isn't he your own brother who co-authored it?"

Of course Miao Yujuan was extremely wronged, and she also blamed Luo Guangsheng for only going to work overtime in the factory, leaving his hands on the family affairs like an old man.

"You are not guilty of saying this. All family affairs have to be pointed at me. Besides, don't you know what's going on with Guangliang? It's not easy for me to get people to agree to meet. I can't insist Is it as if someone else paid him a visit? Isn’t your elder sister the same? She found it for Guang Liang, so it’s done?”

Hearing these words at that time, Luo Guangliang really wanted to push the door open and kowtow to his brother and sister-in-law.

He really didn't want to let this husband and wife, who were living a good life and living in harmony, form an indelible grievance in their hearts because of him.

So for this, he was extremely frustrated and at the same time in a dilemma.

I don't want to see someone anymore, and I am afraid that my negativity and giving up will make my family worry.

He was conflicted, and he didn't know whether he should feel wronged or not, and let's talk about a marriage with his eyes closed.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ning Weimin asked him to help fry stamps.

A meal of wine, after knowing his troubles, gave him firm confidence and good hope.

"Ning Que Wulan, brother! Is this something that can be made do? Don't think so, a mistake will cause eternal hatred. If you don't believe me, just look at these divorced people now. What's going on? Almost all of them were in the first few years Marriage succumbing to social circumstances. If appearance and education level are not considered, can life goals be consistent? Disintegration is not surprising."

"Don't even look at "The Wrangler" is very beautiful, but it's a movie. In reality, how could it be possible for the girl who fled from famine to have the temperament and appearance of Cong Shan? Of course, she won't be as beautiful as in the movie ending. On the contrary, no matter how tragic the outcome will appear.”

"The other way around, you have to understand that society is not static. In the past, politics was in command, but now it has become the center of economic construction. The criteria for choosing a spouse will definitely change. Don't you think money is in our lives? Is it becoming more and more important? Don’t look at it now, the society still looks down on the self-employed. But everyone envies the money of the self-employed.”

"I can assure you that within a few years, your banknotes will wipe out all the disgrace of your past. It will make you more glamorous and make all the good girls jump on you. At that time, They're like flies, you can't go away even if you want to. You can pick whatever you want. This means that today you look down on me, and tomorrow I will make you unable to climb up."

"Believe it or not, if you want to find a beautiful one, it's actually not difficult now. I can introduce a few for you right away. But the problem is, they are all models, and they are not young, they are all over 25. I don’t know how many boyfriends I have changed, and they are all practical. I think introducing this kind of introduction to you is cheating you. These girls have no intention of talking about relationships, and they must be trying to get your money. Things are completely like doing business, discussing prices with each other to see what the goods are, and once they are optimistic, they bid to buy."

"Don't laugh, I'm telling you the truth. You are gold in the sand now. You are quite different from others. Where can you find your looks, your spirit, and your skills? After two years, you will become an instant success." You can find a young man in his early twenties. Because you are not only rich. I believe that there is no girl who does not love your other advantages. Now don’t everyone say that we lack Takakura Ken. You It’s the domestic Takakura Ken I know. It’s just that there is no society that correctly evaluates you, and the good girls are blind for a while.”

"Don't worry, don't you still have me to accompany you? To tell you the truth, I plan to get married at the age of 40. I have to choose carefully and think about what life I want to live. Only then can I know who is really suitable for me. If you don’t have what you want, it’s better to be alone. Don’t you think so?”

"Hey, how about, let's just do this. Let's talk about a very practical thing, you should learn to drive first. Car driving is a very advanced technology. It just so happens that we 'Tan Gong' bought four cars. I will squeeze out some for you." The quota is not difficult. If you want to learn to drive, you can also use my car to practice. How good? If you really want to hold a driving book, no one will have to look up to you, right? Even if you go on a blind date at that time, the weight will be different Isn't it? And at least, you can also use this as a tactic to slow down the war, let your family calm down first, right?"

That's right, what Ning Weimin said was indeed practical enough.

Ordinary people want to learn to drive a car, which is unimaginable in this era when cars are still extremely luxurious.

Being able to hold the steering wheel is really something to be proud of.

In particular, in order to prevent the phenomenon of individuals learning to drive with their affiliated units, the vehicle management office also regards the actual vehicles owned by the drivers of each unit as the standard.

It is stipulated that a car can only be equipped with two drivers, and units without cars are not allowed to learn to drive.

This also shows the gold content and value of the car driver's license. Car drivers are currently a monopoly industry.

It can even be said that if Luo Guangliang wants to get the driver's book and wants to find a place to be a driver, it is also possible to mix up a formal job.

This is totally open to the sea and the sky.

So Luo Guangliang's heart brightened, he was elated, thanked Ning Weimin with great surprise, and followed his idea.

Sure enough, the family heard that Luo Guangliang could get a driving book, and their anxiety about his marriage dissipated a lot.

And with a calm heart, Luo Guangliang relaxed and pondered Ning Weimin's words more and more admired.

He had to admit that this brother, who was several years younger than him, had a keen eye for problems.

That's right, the younger the girl, the easier it is to find a partner.

Women over the age of 25 are as sophisticated as a rock, no matter how emotional you are, they will remain unmoved.They always carefully consider your age, type of work, salary, physical condition, whether you have any serious illness, whether there is an elderly person to support at home, whether you smoke or drink alcohol, whether you have attended junior high school or high school, whether you have a gentle temper or a violent temper.

They even sneak a peek at you from behind to see if you are walking in a figure-of-eight gait, and if your legs are the same length.

In short, older women place more emphasis on reality and less emotion.

But young girls are not like that, they are as innocent as a bowl of clear water, they don't think so much at all.

They dared to greet you without even knowing your name.

Just like Mi Xiaohui from the Mi Family in Courtyard No. 2, she already knew she was in love at a young age.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, the girl knocked on Luo Guangliang's door and brought him a box of chocolates.

"Why, you still gave me a gift?"

"Brother Liangzi, try it, my sister sent it back from the United States."

"I don't eat sweets, why don't you keep them for yourself?"

"Don't, why don't you give me face at all. I have to go to school for you and me, thank you."

"Tch, that's considered early. You're such a kid, I just strolled around and came home with you."

"That works, ah...Brother Liangzi, are you busy in the morning of the second day of junior high school? Can you go out with me again?"

"Ah, let me tell you, I dare you to ask me for something. Where are you going?"

"Shichahai Ice Rink!"

"What? What are you doing there? What a mess!"

"I...I don't skate myself, I just want to watch people skate..."

"Then there's no need to go anywhere, Longtan Lake also has an ice rink..."

"Hey, let me tell you the truth. I trust you fully. You must never tell others. I have a classmate. Her cousin is from the University of Physical Education. That person looks like the movie actor Feng Zhe, but He's handsome, and his legs have grown. When I went to my classmate's house the day before yesterday, I heard him tell others that he was going to go skating in Shichahai on the morning of the second day of junior high school..."
