The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 243 Blind date (plus more)
People's Park at three or four o'clock in summer.

As the heat gradually subsided, the cicada regained its strength and lay on the trunk of the tree, chirping tirelessly.

There are few people in the park.

Young men and women in twos and threes took advantage of this time to secretly come to the park and walk slowly on the gravel-strewn path.

The distance between the two of them was half a meter, making them stranger than strangers.

The gay man wanted to get closer, but the female gay quickly moved away, her black braid rippling back and forth, making people feel itchy.

After several attempts, the male comrade was ready to give up, but the female comrade came closer intentionally or unintentionally.

Their shoulders seemed to rub together inadvertently, and the two of them quickly separated as if they were electrocuted.

The little flowers on the roadside swayed in the breeze, seeming to mock them for not being shy.

Silence, embarrassment, sweetness, and anticipation are intertwined in the air.

In the shade inside the wooden pavilion.

Chen Xueru wore a cotton gauze mask to cover her hair, mouth and nose, and held a new book in her hand, feeling a little uneasy.

The reason why she covered her face so tightly was because she was afraid of being seen by Hou Bingchang.

Hou Bingchang is the third son of the vice chairman of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce.

Before liberation, the Hou family ran a large silk and satin shop and almost monopolized the silk and satin trade in the capital area. Hou Fuxiang at the west entrance of the polishing factory was the Hou family's property.

The silk and satin used by the Chen family to make cheongsam for customers comes from the Hou family's silk and satin shop.

After liberation, the Hou family's dozens of silk and satin shops also began to operate as public-private joint ventures, and the Hou family's power was not as strong as before.

However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Hou family occupies the position of vice chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and can be regarded as a celebrity in the capital.

Chen Xueru met Hou Bingchang when she accompanied her father to the Hou family silk and satin shop to purchase goods.

Hou Bingchang coveted Chen Xueru's beauty and launched a crazy pursuit of Chen Xueru.

Chen Xueru had heard about the third young master's romantic affairs before.

Before liberation, Hou Bingchang was a frequent visitor to Hualou, so naturally he didn't want to see him.

It's just that the Chen family needs the Hou family's silk and satin, so they have to make a fool of themselves.

Wanting to fight here, Chen Xueru lamented her father's good intentions.

This time the blind date is a train driver.

If it happens, maybe we can get rid of Hou Bingchang in the future.

The sound of a bicycle brake woke Chen Xueru up.

looked up.

A young man wearing light gray overalls, black denim pants, and big leather shoes was pedaling on a bicycle, and his big bright eyes were staring at her!
There is also a book "Before and After Crossing the River" tucked in the young man's creaky nest.

Chen Xueru looked at Li Aiguo subconsciously for a while.

He is 1.8 meters tall and has a burly build. His arms are as muscular as the roots of an old tree, which is enough to illustrate his strength.

What do women want?

Isn’t it just to make men strong and strong?

Chen Xueru couldn't help but feel a good impression secretly in her heart.

Li Aiguo also looked down at Chen Xueru.

Although her face was covered by a cotton gauze mask, her big black and bright eyes were enough to show that she was a beauty.

A plain floral shirt couldn't hide her good figure.

As she slowly stood up, the undulations of her curves became a bit more rounded, and she could even vaguely see them.

Her hips are wider than her shoulders, and she is as happy as a god.
After all, he is a child from a small handicraft industry. His family is wealthier than the average small citizen and has sufficient nutrition.

"Hello, are you Comrade Chen?" Li Aiguo then remembered that Aunt Liu and Yan Bugui had been nagging for a long time and did not even tell him the woman's full name.

"You are Comrade Li Aiguo, right?"

Chen Xueru stood up, and Li Aiguo realized that she was 1.6 meters tall, which was considered tall among lesbians.

"I am Chen Xueru."

She slowly took off her cotton gauze mask.

Run!
But Li Aiguo's first reaction was shock.

Isn't this woman Chen Xueru, the proprietress of the silk and satin shop in "The Little Woman of Zhengyang"?
It has been more than ten years since the plot began, and Chen Xueru is still a little girl.

Compared with the original work, Chen Xueru is a little less charming as a mature woman and more innocent as a girl.

in the original.

Chen Xueru is beautiful, has good sewing skills, and is good at doing business. She should have achieved great success.

Later, due to family changes, she was forced to marry the third son of the Hou family, thus starting a miserable life.

But, is this woman suitable to be his daughter-in-law?

Chen Xueru felt a little disappointed when she saw that Li Aiguo's expression was wrong.Her slender snow-white hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, and her long eyelashes drooped: "Don't you like me?"

Are you confused that you are not beautiful?
Are you embarrassed by your poor conditions?
What's with that expression?

"No. When two people are talking about a partner, they need to get along with each other before they can determine whether they are suitable for each other."

Li Aiguo also figured it out.

Just because Chen Xueru is so 'moist', she needs to get in touch with her more.

Maybe it’s suitable for you?
After all, in this world, there are not many beautiful women who can work in the hall or in the kitchen and have a good background.

What?
Are you calling me a pervert?
Yes, you are right.

Continue to scold.

Chen Xueru breathed a sigh of relief, and her impression of Li Aiguo became a little better.

In the past, when men saw her, they were always anxious.

Treating it with caution is the real blind date.

"You're right, I'm also curious about your train driver."

"The train driver just drives the train everywhere."

Seeing that Li Aiguo was about to sit down, Chen Xueru took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wanted to spread it under his buttocks.

He was stopped by Li Aiguo: "Comrade Chen Xueru, we train drivers are workers and working people. We don't pay so much attention to it on weekdays."

Girls like Chen Xueru who were born as small handicraftsmen received a good education before liberation, and some even developed the lifestyle of a bourgeois young lady.

Li Aiguo felt that Chen Xueru should be vaccinated first.

In order to avoid disputes between the two due to different living habits after they develop feelings.

"It's okay. Our whole family also comes from working people."

Chen Xueru's eyes turned into crescent moons: "In the past, our family helped sew clothes for the landowners' wives. My father had to work under the kerosene lamp until midnight. My mother took care of his personal problems."

"Personal question?" Li Aiguo sat down slowly.

"Just the trivial things like washing your face and feet."

A red cloud appeared on Chen Xueru's fair neck, and the red cloud climbed along the roots behind her ears and onto her two small faces.

As an educated young woman, she should not say such things.

wash feet
Li Aiguo couldn't help but swallow his saliva and waved his hands: "Forget about washing your feet, I can do it myself."

"How can this be possible? My mother said that men are the king of women. Once we girls get married, we should serve our own men." Chen Xueru suddenly became anxious and quickly explained to Li Aiguo:
"You must not think that my mother is an uneducated person. In fact, she went to a girls' technical secondary school and participated in major events."

Before liberation, women’s secondary schools participated in major events
Chen Xueru's mother was quite a person, but it was a pity that she died young.

Li Aiguo was a little hard to understand: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"It's traditional culture!" Chen Xueru glared angrily, looking very cute.

"Binding your feet is also a traditional culture. Why don't you bind your feet?" Li Aiguo asked.

Chen Xueru said: "That is the dregs of traditional culture. Now is the new society. It should be smashed and thrown into the sewer."

"We should carry forward this excellent traditional culture."

Yes, this girl's brain is a bit messed up, and she needs to be educated slowly in the future.

Li Aiguo took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and waved it in front of Chen Xueru: "Do you mind?"

"It's okay, there are no gay men who don't smoke."

This is true. Gay men in this era are all heavy smokers, especially those in the maintenance section.

Li Aiguo would just take one or two when he was thinking about something.

The spicy smoke passed through his throat, and his thoughts gradually became clearer. Li Aiguo brought the topic back to the right track.

"You may also understand my situation."

"I am a train driver and graduated from a railway technical secondary school. My monthly salary is 102 yuan and I have a food ration of 43 kilograms."

"My parents died young and I am the only one in the family."

"Train drivers are busy at work and may not be able to take care of their families. If you want to live in the future, you will have to work harder without your parents-in-law to help you."

Li Aiguo thought Chen Xueru would be a little shy when it came to mentioning these things.

Who would have thought that this girl was so generous and generous, she nodded heavily and said, "Comrade Patriot, you are making a contribution to the country. If you get married, I will definitely support you silently behind your back and keep your home in order."

When Chen Xueru saw Li Aiguo staring at her, she was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was her turn to introduce her family situation.

"I graduated from junior high school and have no formal job for the time being. I am learning tailoring skills from my father."

"I have two brothers at home. They did not agree with my father's ideas and left home early. Now one works in a match factory on the outskirts of Beijing and the other works in Baoding."

"Different ideas?" Li Aiguo frowned.
