Extinguish illusions and old knowledge, speak bluntly, ignite hope, and send a small sound

Since childhood, the mother has always thought that her son is very good, and it is not a problem to find a partner. Even if there is no agreement with a good sister, the mother does not want her son to be a girlfriend too early, and how much will it cost to be tired and crooked for several years! Therefore, whenever her son comes to propose marriage before he is 25 years old, the mother will find a reason to prevaricate. As soon as her son turned 25 years old, his mother naturally stopped stopping him, but who knew that it was not good to be a teacher, and he talked about two in a row.

"Auntie, does the girl you talked about last time have a partner?"

"His aunt, isn't your girl in love with my son, now you can let them everywhere. ”

......

The mother began to take the initiative to ask the people who had been rejected by herself, and although the replies she received were varied, the results were surprisingly consistent.

"The girl already has a partner. ”

"The girl is married. ”

"The girl is going to graduate school, so I won't look for it first. ”

"My girl said that the neighbors in this street are okay, not so embarrassing. ”

......

After hitting a wall everywhere, the mother realized that it was her son's work problem? What girl didn't think about the future?

At the same time, Ling Feng was not idle, and looked at two girls, one was a neighbor of the leader of the storage and distribution station, and the other was a cousin of a colleague.

"Ling Feng, are there any conditions for finding a partner?" In her spare time, a new eldest sister at the storage and distribution station stirred up a topic of small talk.

"There are no conditions, just be a woman. Ling Feng joked.

"Look at what you said, there is a girl with a rural household registration, but she works in the city, and she will introduce you to you?" The eldest sister of the storage and distribution station said the purpose of the chat.

"Okay, people don't dislike us, just earn less?" Ling Feng was a little ridiculous.

"Don't dislike it, the girl's mother has long asked me to find a partner for her girl in our unit, but there has been no suitable one. The eldest sister of the storage and distribution station was overjoyed.

Mudanjiang is a small city, and its residents are divided into urban and rural hukou. With the development of cities, the suburbs where rural residents live have long been connected with urban areas, and their work and life have long been urbanized. At the same time, the advantages of people with rural hukou are fully revealed, because they have land in their names, and growing vegetables and raising flowers is an additional income. When it comes to urban development, the compensation is hundreds of thousands or even millions. Those who live in the villages of Goucha are in a slightly worse situation, and the way to work in the city is remote, and they can easily find land for construction, but fish ponds, mountains and forests, and cultivated land can bring wealth everywhere. Therefore, in Ling Feng's view, these people in Mudanjiang City who hold rural hukou are naturally advantageous.

The eldest sister of the storage and distribution station is an anxious person, and she dragged Ling Feng to a blind date after work that day.

"Eldest sister, I haven't cleaned it up, is it appropriate to go on a blind date?" Ling Feng was worried about what he was wearing.

"This is handsome enough, what are you picking up, people don't look at you as your clothes. "The eldest sister of the storage and distribution station is afraid that Ling Feng will escape.

Walking out of the small office building of the storage and distribution station, Ling Feng was about to pick up the bicycle but was stopped.

"Let's go up, and we'll have to go around a long way if we ride. The eldest sister of the storage and distribution station pointed in the direction of the bluestone dam as she spoke.

"You mean that the girl's family lives in Yangcao Village, how can I go home in that moment?" Ling Feng frowned.

"Don't worry, there is a road in the village leading to Daqing Road, after the blind date, I will send you to the Daqing Road six-line bus station, and you will take the factory car to work tomorrow." "The eldest sister of the storage and distribution station has already thought about the follow-up of the blind date.

At this point, Ling Feng was embarrassed to excuse himself, and embarked on a trip to Yangcao Village with the eldest sister of the storage and distribution station. There are still traces of fly ash on the mountain road, and the tenacious weeds have long since broken through the layers of blockade and flourished again. The fly ash in the gully has been dug up, and the ditch and culvert under the gravel road outside the fence have been cleared, and the empty mountain water is still murmuring. The damage to the bluestone dam has been repaired, and it has been raised three or four meters higher at the top of the dam. The fly ash water was much wider, flooding the original poolside path, and a new path continued higher up.

Ling Feng and the eldest sister of the storage and distribution station walked all the way up, passed the fly ash pond, and passed two fish ponds and a crop field to Yangcao Village. In front of an iron-gate compound next to the gravel road in the village, the eldest sister of the storage and distribution station signaled that Ling Feng had arrived. The iron gate was ajar, and a peasant woman in her fifties and sixties was busy working in the yard.

"Auntie, are you cleaning up the yard?" The eldest sister of the storage and distribution station pushed the door and walked in.

Ling Feng was about to follow into the hospital, when a dog barked "Wang, Wang, Wang" made Ling Feng stop. Ling Feng has been afraid of dogs since he was a child, and although he knows that most of the barking dogs are used to intimidate people, it is better to stay away from them.

"Ling Feng, this is the girl's mother I want to introduce to you, you go into the house and wait for a while, and I'll go back to my mother's house. The eldest sister of the storage and distribution station walked out of the courtyard and left directly.

"It turns out that the eldest sister's maiden home of the storage and distribution station is here, no wonder she is so familiar with Yangcao Village. Ling Feng couldn't help but think so.

"Come in, young man, my girl will be home in a moment. The peasant woman said as she went to the courtyard to let Ling Feng.

"Wang, Wang, Wang" A living person entered the hospital, and the dog barked again. Ling Feng hurriedly walked a few steps and followed the peasant woman into the house.

"Sit down, young man, and I'll pour you a glass of water. The peasant woman said and went to pour water.

Ling Feng glanced around, in the standard farmhouse style, a square kang occupied a quarter of the floor in the house, a row of tables and cabinets of different heights were neatly arranged against the wall opposite the door, and on the side wall of the door was a large and bright glass window.

"Sit, lad, you drink. The peasant woman put the cup on the round table on the kang and went out again.

Ling Feng was embarrassed to see that the peasant women were busy with everything else, and Ling Feng was left alone in the house. There is nothing to see in the house, Ling Feng turned his eyes to the window, the biggest difference from the ordinary farmhouse is that there is a big mountain bag in the corner of the courtyard, there is a flat land of fifty or sixty square meters on the side of the courtyard, and a shovel is leaning on the façade of the mountain bag. It seems that this vacant land is made by digging mountains and filling ditches, so over time, the mountains will be bulldozed, and the courtyard will be doubled.

"Squeak, squeak" The iron gate in the courtyard was pushed open, and a tall and lanky girl pushed a cart into the courtyard.

"It's my daughter who has returned. The peasant woman with a plate of sunflowers in her hand had just walked into the house, put down the plate and went to greet her daughter.

Ling Feng hurriedly stood up, his heartbeat accelerated a little, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see anyone enter the house. Ling Feng didn't know what was going on, he took two steps towards the glass window, looked through the window, and saw the peasant woman standing in front of the door with the tall and thin girl talking in a low voice.

Ling Feng walked back to the kang where he had just sat down and sat down, pondering the situation in front of him. After about five minutes, a tall, lanky girl walked in at the door.

"Hey, isn't this girl 'Lei Lei'?" Ling Feng recognized the tall and thin girl at a glance.

"You, how are you?" The girl was stunned on the spot.

What a coincidence, the girl who looked like her niece that I often met on the way to work was actually standing in front of me, and it was still at her home.

"You sit, you drink water, you eat melon seeds. "Lei Lei" was a little overwhelmed.

"You just got off work?" For a moment, Ling Feng didn't know what to say.

"Well, just got off work. "Lei Lei" sat on the edge of the kang with clear eyes, and he didn't know where to look.

There was silence for a while, and Ling Feng wrenched his brain thinking about how to break the coldness.

"Why haven't I seen you this time in the winter?" "Lei Lei" broke the silence first.

"In the winter, I was temporarily transferred to the security department and worked the night shift all winter. Ling Feng replied truthfully.

At this moment, the sound of an electric tricycle faintly came from outside the house, and after a while, the eldest sister of the storage and distribution station opened the door and walked in.

"Ling Feng, I'll take you to the site. The eldest sister of the storage and distribution station looked a little ugly.

"Alright, I'll go first. Ling Feng said goodbye to "Lei Lei" and left the house.

A farm tricycle was parked outside the courtyard, and Ling Feng got into the cargo compartment and sat on the compartment. After a long while, the eldest sister of the storage and distribution station came out of the courtyard, and her face had returned to the same as before.

The tricycle drove about five minutes along the gravel road from Yangcao Village, crossed a mountain pass and saw the oil storage tank of the refinery, and drove another five minutes to the sixth-line station at the entrance of the refinery.

"Today's thing is a bit of a fork, at nine o'clock in the morning on Sunday, the cultural corridor at the north gate of the park, you can talk about it yourself, and it depends on you whether you succeed or not. The eldest sister of the storage and distribution station dropped a sentence and rode back the same way.

Ling Feng was a little confused when he heard this, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, and what was going on could only be said on Sunday.

On Sunday morning, the sky was unpleasant and a light rain was falling, and Ling Feng came to the north gate of the People's Park with apprehension. The small square inside the north gate of the park is deserted due to the rain, and two groups of elderly people are playing poker at one end of the cultural corridor next to it, and a tall and thin girl is wandering in the corridor at the other end.

"You came early, and I thought you wouldn't come when it rained?" Ling Feng walked into the cultural corridor and felt a little more steady.

"I've just arrived, and I'm here to apologize to you. "Lei Lei" gets straight to the point.

"What apologies?" Ling Feng's heart was worried again.

"I'm sorry, we're late to each other, and our fate has passed. There was a contradictory look on the face of "Lei Lei".

"Can you tell me why?" Ling Feng already knew the meaning of "Lei Lei".

"Working in a gas company, I don't want to find a gas company. "Lei Lei" said very bluntly.

"Lei Lei"'s words made Ling Feng wake up suddenly, recalling the few girls he had dealt with before, all of whom had asked about work without exception, so their departure must have been due to work.

As soon as she got to work the next day, the eldest sister of the storage and distribution station told Ling Feng about the cause and effect. It turned out that last year, the mother of "Lei Lei" was looking for a partner for "Lei Lei" in the coking plant, and "Lei Lei" also agreed. However, now he resolutely refuses to look for a gas company, if he is not "acquainted" with Ling Feng, he will refuse on the same day, and finally refuses after thinking about it for a few days.

Ling Feng didn't complain when he learned the truth, how could he blame others if the gas company didn't fight for it, it seems that everyone avoids the gas company after the halo has receded!

Just when Ling Feng was lamenting that the reputation of the gas company was no longer good and his luck was not good, his mother brought a happy news. Aunt Wang, a neighbor, came back from Chongqing to find her mother, saying that her daughter Shiyun in Chongqing couldn't find a partner there because she was tall and not a Chongqing hukou, and planned to go back to her hometown to find a partner, and the first choice was Ling Feng. If Ling Feng is willing, Shiyun will come back at the end of the year to settle the matter.

Hearing this news, Ling Feng was overjoyed, isn't this a sister Lin who fell from the sky? Shi Yun's tall and beautiful figure became clearer and deeper in Ling Feng's mind.
