Back to 80, start from gold digging

There wasn't much work in the embroidery factory in the first month, and today was just an occasional order. In the warehouse, I checked the numbers with the teams and made some preparations before starting work.After half a day, it's time in a blink of an eye, and I'm not tired at all.

Zhao Wenlan asked to make dumplings for dinner tonight. After eating dumplings for several days in a row, she decided to change it up.It just so happened that Wu Dakui brought over two pieces of tofu and three pieces of crucian carp when he came in the first afternoon.Sending tofu and fish during the Chinese New Year is an excellent meaning, which means sending "rich" and "surplus", and a rich life is more than enough every year.

It's not easy to get fresh fish in winter. Wu Dakui's eldest son, Wu Gang, had a blind date years ago. The woman's family contracted a pond and raised some fish in it. Wu Gang took some away when he went to visit his relatives.

Wu Dakui specially picked three of them for the Zhao family to try out.

The three fish are not too big, weighing half a catty, which is about the size of a palm.It is also convenient to clean up. I took the scissors and cut the fins and gills of the fish. There was nothing in the fish belly, so it was clean after simple cleaning.

Zhao Wenlan is also a proficient householder who often cooks, so such small tasks are easy to do, and she moves quickly, finishing it in three to five minutes.

He straightened up from the ground, ready to clean the fish several times.Just with blood on your hands, it is very unhygienic to use a water ladle to scoop water.

Just as Zhao Wenlan was about to call for someone to come out of the house to fetch water for her, she heard a male voice say, "Your hands are not so handy, let me fetch water for you."

I don't know when a man about 30 years old in a green military uniform stood at the gate of Jiang's house. He didn't know how long he looked there. He saw that she wanted to call for someone before he made a sound.

The water tanks of the two families are placed on the ground of the outhouse, placed on the opposite side, they can be seen at a glance, and the men can walk three or five steps towards them.

Zhao Wenlan squatted on the ground, lowered her head, and was serious about cleaning up the fish. She didn't even know that someone was standing there watching her. When the man made a sound, she was startled, and she instinctively refused, "Oh, no, I'm my sister. Help me scoop it up." He turned back and shouted into the room.

When Zhao Wenduo heard it, he saw that the man had already taken two steps forward, only two meters away from the water tank.

The two houses lived opposite each other, and any noise outside could be heard clearly.The man made a sudden sound, although the sound was not too loud, but the room was still listening.

On this day, the Jiang family finally calmed down.This man should belong to the group who didn't leave after speaking, but stayed behind.I don't know if it's a relative or a friend, but it's always a pure face.

Zhao Wenduo looked at the man's eyes with traces. He was of medium height, with a rectangular face and short eyebrows. He had a very ordinary appearance, the kind that would disappear if thrown into a crowd.

Seeing someone scooping up water, the man stopped, went back to the door and stood there for a while, then wiped himself and went into Jiang's house.

After a while, Wang Ping came out, as if she was out to get something, and looked around in the cupboard, but as if she couldn't find it, she turned to Zhao Wenlan who was putting the fish into the pot, and said, "Oh, two Girl, if you cook dinner, it will definitely be delicious, even if you are beautiful and handcrafted."

The inexplicably praised Zhao Wenlan: "..."

Wang Ping looked at her again with deep meaning, and went back into the room with her mouth pursed and a smile.

For dinner, we ate tofu and crucian carp soup, and the whole family ate a lot of big pancakes with mixed noodles.

At the dinner table, Zhao Wenlan also casually mentioned that Wang Ping is a bit abnormal today. She usually doesn't speak up, and when she speaks, it's either annoying or hurtful. It's very difficult to say a word normally, let alone such a compliment.

As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.This sentence is confirmed in this matter.

It was only two days before Zhao Wenlan was praised, and it happened to be the seventh day of junior high school. In the afternoon, the Zhao family gathered to make dumplings.

Wang Ping came here uninvited, and the movement of crossing the threshold was more skillful than entering her own home. She caught Li Cuizhen who was fiddling with the sorghum pole lid on the kang, and said enthusiastically: "Hey, you are making dumplings, eat them at night." ah?"

Li Cuizhen: "..." Isn't this nonsense, do you still need to say it?It's purely looking for something to say, so I don't care about you.

"Yeah, Grandma Jiang, let's eat dumplings tonight." Zhao Wenying saw that her mother hadn't said anything, and fearing that the atmosphere would be awkward, she took the conversation from there.

Wang Ping is about the same age as Li Cuizhen, but her seniority is a generation higher, which is one of the reasons why they dislike each other.

"I came to tell you a very good thing." Wang Ping didn't take it seriously, and said the reason for coming: "Second girl, do you still remember the person who talked to you the afternoon before yesterday? I want to talk about him."

Zhao Wenlan, who was serious about making dumplings, did not expect to be called by name, and raised her head with question marks all over her head. After thinking for a long time, she remembered who she was talking about: "...the one who will help me scoop water?"

Wang Ping slapped her chin: "Yes, that's him. Let me tell you, Second Aunt, that's not an ordinary person. She's the head of the personnel department in a big factory, a serious cadre. You can get paid for a month's salary. More than 80, and those benefits are not old or young, if we are with him in the future, it will be called a good life."

Until these words were put to the ground, the Zhao family basically understood the general idea, and they co-authored this "regardless of suspicion" door-to-door and talked to Li Cuizhen in order to protect the media.

There is no doubt that this person is Zhao Wenlan.

"The other day, Section Chief Hu saw the second girl cooking, and he fell in love with her right away. When he came back, he told me to see if he could secure this great matchmaker. He really liked it very much." Wang Ping She had a face on her face the whole time, and her good attitude made people a little unbelievable.

Li Cuizhen didn't want to talk to her at first, but when she heard that she was going to introduce someone to Zhao Wenlan, and the conditions were good, she immediately became interested, put down her crossed legs, moved towards Wang Ping, and said, "Then you Where is the Chief Hu mentioned, where is he from, how old is he, and what does he do at home?"

Wang Ping smiled and nodded her with her finger, with the expression that she knew you would ask such a question out loud.Just looking at this posture, those who don't know it still think that the two are best best friends, and they get together to have some whispers.

"Speaking of it, this is also fate. I still remember that two years ago when the army was training, some people came to the village to find accommodation. The leader who came to our house was a leader, who was said to be the instructor of the team. Later, he changed jobs and went to other places. The section chief. That is to say, this section chief Hu, who came to our town to recruit workers this time, remembered that he had lived in our house before, so he came over to have a look, didn't he happen to see the second girl."

When she mentioned it, Li Cuizhen remembered that there was indeed such a thing.At that time, she was a little angry because of the lodging.

The situation of each family in the village is different. There are about two-thirds of those who are eligible to stay overnight, but there are not many of them. One or two people can not exceed three people at most.

The Jiang family and the Zhao family belong to these two situations respectively. The former’s house is slightly larger, and a small room of seven square meters is separated towards the northwest corner. A place for a lodger.

In comparison, the area of ​​Zhao's house is a little smaller, and there is no extra space to separate another room, even if it is only a few square meters in size.The seven people slept in a crowded room, and if there was one more person, it would be really difficult to turn over.

At that time, it was an honor for the family to be able to meet the accommodation requirements, and the other was also a hidden show off.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Ping flaunted the advantages of going back to her home, gaining the upper hand in front of Li Cuizhen.

The hard conditions were indeed incomparable, and Li Cuizhen couldn't refute, so she could only sulking.

Or if she forgot, Li Cuizhen said in a bad voice: "I just stayed for one night, how much affection can I have, and it's worth running over to visit now. A big section chief is so free, I guess It’s not a good factory either, it’s probably the kind that should be shut down.”

This time Wang Ping is really promising. If she was so stubborn, she didn’t take the blame. Instead, she gave a detailed explanation: "Hu Kechang’s factory is a large state-owned factory, and the benefits are good. It will be released at the end of the year." I bought five catties of pork, three catties of eggs, and ten catties of soybean oil. With this kind of treatment, I can’t find many in this town. Not to mention, my family is registered in the city, and my parents and brothers are regular workers in state-owned enterprises, and their age is not high. It's too big, 29, just the right age."

Li Cuizhen questioned: "You said that the conditions are so good, why did you wait until you are so old to find a partner?"

People at this time generally get married early, and it is common to get married and have children at the age of 21 or 25.Those who can survive until the age of 29 are considered old men and women.This is [-] years old, which is older than the oldest.

If you don't ask clearly, you don't dare to let go. The girl is already so old, and if she is cheated again, it will be a lifetime event.

Wang Ping obviously expected to be asked this question a long time ago, and the answer came as soon as she opened her mouth: "Didn't you just say that it was delayed after staying in the army for those years. After changing jobs, many people introduced me to you." , but Mr. Hu chose to choose, and he didn’t like any of them. But this time when he saw the second girl, he said that he liked it very much.”

"If it's as you said, the conditions are indeed good. But this age is indeed a bit older. We, Wenlan Seventeen, are 12 years behind him, and we are one round away." Li Cuizhen said dissatisfied.

"Hey, you don't understand now. You only love your wife when you are older, so older is better." Wang Ping turned to Zhao Wenlan, "Second girl, you also met someone that day, how do you feel? "

Zhao Wenlan smiled awkwardly at her twice, and said embarrassingly: "I was cooking fish, so I didn't pay much attention." It was just a stranger who had just met, who would know that there would be so many follow-ups, what's the point of staring at people? .

She didn't look carefully, but Zhao Wenduo could have seen it clearly.After Wang Ping praised him and went back, she told her family what she saw.

Li Cuizhen thought for a while, and said to them: "This section chief surnamed Hu has really good qualifications. If the second child really gets married with him, he won't have to suffer in the future. As for looks, men don't ask for so much. A public face is fine, too handsome but attractive. You look rare, but others like it, if that's the case, just chasing those bees and flies upside down will be annoying enough, will there be a day like that?"

Listening to this meaning, I am not only satisfied, but also agree with it.

"Second, what do you mean?"

Zhao Wenlan glanced at her mother, then at her father, and then at a few sisters, blushing slightly, and said softly, "I don't know either."

The 17-year-old girl is usually in the embroidery factory and at home, two points and one line, and her life can no longer be regular.Not to mention making friends with a woman, even talking to a man with a different surname is rare.

Such a person will have a deep impression on a stranger who has only met once and can't even see his face very clearly.But it's just that I don't know.

The nature of these girls is clear to the mother.Li Cuizhen didn't expect Zhao Wenlan to give any advice, so she made a final decision and said, "I think this condition is fine, you can just look around."

At this time, the era of blind marriage and dumb marriage has passed, and free love has become a buzzword on the lips of young people.Blind date is a product of the transition of the times.Both men and women were introduced to each other's homes to see each other.Whether the conditions are satisfactory or not becomes the decisive factor for subsequent development.

To be precise, Zhao Wenlan's blind date this time was not a real blind date, but a blind date.I didn't know about it beforehand, and I was told about it later.

The big girl who has never had any experience in this area, except for feeling a little shy, doesn't have much feeling, and even feels confused for a while about the bumpy and unknown road ahead.

After the confusion, I can't bear it and will have some expectations.It is a yearning for future life and a good wish for one's own life.

Just like this, with some complicated emotions, a period of time passed.

No one would think about it without it.But once you have it, you can't help but think about it.Most of these people are like this, and the old Zhao family is no exception.

Ever since the section chief surnamed Hu took a fancy to the second girl, Zhao Wenlan, the family had a good discussion together, and in the end it was Li Cuizhen, the woman in charge, who made the decision and agreed to the matter.

According to the customs and rules, after a successful blind date, a man and a woman will start dating slowly and connect with each other.Hurry up, maybe even the date of engagement may be agreed, and the marriage will be married in a few months, and they will be able to hug a big fat boy in the coming year.

But when it came to the Zhao family, it was a little different.

Wang Ping, the matchmaker, has returned to her normal state since she came to the door for a good introduction, as if she wasn't the warm-hearted person who whispered to Li Cuizhen. , that is also just pretending not to see, turning his head and looking after himself.For this matter, it is not mentioned or read, it is simply as if it does not exist.

It's okay to say that this matter is dirty, but I didn't say anything, I was so exhausted, I don't know what to do.This feeling of not being able to bring it up and not being able to let it go is really uncomfortable enough.Finally one day, Li Cuizhen couldn't take it anymore, and seized a chance to block Wang Ping's door.

"You just mentioned what the hell happened to Chief Hu, who was killed in one shot, and didn't even have a good talk?" Just let people do this and wait, what is Wenlan in their family?Li Cuizhen was very annoyed.

Wang Ping didn't seem to expect that she would ask such a question, and she was very surprised and said, "Hey, didn't I explain clearly that day?" with an expression of why are you still asking.

Li Cuizhen was confused by this statement: "What do you mean, what did you explain?" Didn't she just say that the surname Hu has good conditions, has she taken a fancy to her second child, and what else did she miss? of?

Wang Ping clasped her hands in front of her, as if looking at a young and ignorant child, she let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Oh, Cui Zhener, tell me why your ears are so long. I can’t hear clearly when I’m not old. I’ve explained everything in detail. I even told you clearly which factory Section Chief Hu is in. Why do you still ask me? The city is not that far away from us. It takes only half a day to get on a bus in the town street, and it doesn’t take much time.”

At the beginning, Li Cuizhen heard that Monk Zhang Er was puzzled, and this became more and more wrong, until the last sentence, go to the city by car?
Co-authoring is to make us take the initiative, right?

Li Cuizhen suddenly felt displeased and said, "It's always been the man's excuse. I've never heard of the woman taking the initiative. If it's sincere, you can ask him to come over." Anyway, you have to speak clearly and make things clear. This is just saying that you like it without expressing anything. How much does this mean?
"Oh, Cui Zhen'er, you are old-fashioned and old-fashioned. The two parties are suitable, whether it is the man or the woman who takes the initiative, as long as they can get together. Besides, the conditions of Section Chief Hu are so good. There are plenty of girls chasing him, and those who are good are not young or old, and the second girl is the worst among them. If you don't take the initiative, you will be compared to others in no time, and you can't get it."

These words are not unreasonable, everything is good and people fight for it, and bad things are disgusted by people.The better the gay man and the better the conditions, the more he will attract girls to chase him.This is all fighting each other's heads. If you stand by and keep silent, you will be squeezed and there will be no place for you.

Not to mention now, even in the early years, there was also the matter of fighting for marriage.Isn't that how the scene of two daughters competing for husbands came about?

For a good marriage, it's no big deal if the woman takes the initiative and the woman takes the initiative.Li Cuizhen told herself this, and then she turned around and told her family about it.

"Your grandma Jiang also said that it is a large factory with thousands of people. Xiao Hu is the head of the personnel department. He is usually very busy and doesn't have much time to come. Since he can't make it through, let the second child come over. , left and right are also by car, and it will be there in four o'clock, so I won't be tired."

"Mom, do you mean to let the second child find the Hu by himself?" Zhao Wenying felt that she had no reason to misinterpret Li Cuizhen's meaning, but she couldn't accept it.

In her mind, if the man doesn't take the initiative and wants the woman to post it, no matter how you say it, she feels uncomfortable.

"Just go by yourself. It's not that three or two-year-old children are ignorant. When they encounter a road they don't know, don't they have a mouth under their nose? Just ask, and you will find it." Li Cuizhen also spent half a day to find it. Convince yourself, and this time it's your turn to convince others.She felt that Zhao Wenying was only worried about the road. After all, when she went to an unfamiliar environment, she had to identify the road first, and the rest would be easy.

Zhao Wenying still felt uncomfortable, and asked Zhao Wenlan, "Second brother, what do you mean? Do you really want to go directly to him like Mom said?"
