Chapter 44: The First Failure
Bai Changshou subjectively believes that her daughter Bai Xue is in her youth, and falling in love is the central issue of her life. Since Gao Yuan can't enter the Bai family, then cut off this line, and her daughter will definitely find a new love.
What Bai Changshou didn't expect was that he personally cut off the line of the plateau, and his daughter Bai Xue was seriously ill for a summer vacation because of this matter, and almost lost her life. After the school opened, Bai Xue went to work with illness. She didn't want her peers to know she was sick. They are even more reluctant to let teachers and students know what kind of disease they have. She is holding herself up, going to school at two o'clock every day, and going home after work. Never spent an extra minute outside.
In the past, Bai Xue was like a little lark, from opening her eyes to closing her eyes, she was always laughing, and she was everywhere, as if she had seven or eight siblings. Today, the home is quiet. After work, except for eating, she stayed in her room all the time, never spoke loudly, and never said a word more. The current courtyard is like a dead house and an empty house, neither angry nor popular.
One day, the rain was pouring down, and when I came home from work in the snow, I was not only drenched, but also covered in mud. I don't know what happened to her on the road, how many falls she fell on the road, but she didn't squeak a sound. When my mother saw it, she ran over and asked long and short questions in distress. The daughter just shook her head, said softly, "Mom, it's okay", and then went into her room.
On Sundays, Snow White stays at home and can spend the whole day in your room, and you stand outside the door without hearing a sound, as if there is no one in the house.
Bai Changshou began to think that the girl's family and the child's temper would change in a few days. Unexpectedly, a month has passed, two months have passed, and more than half a year has passed, except that Bai Xue has become more and more silent, there is no change, and there is no trace of the original.
Some of the girlfriends, classmates, and colleagues are newly married, and some are happy to have a noble son. These are not the slightest irritation for the snow. Bai Xue seems to have forgotten that she is a woman, and that she is a big girl with yellow flowers who has not come out of the cabinet. She seemed to be numb to the extreme.
Looking at the reborn transformation of his daughter Bai Xue, although Bai Changshou also has a sour taste in his heart, he is a person who hits the south wall and does not look back. He didn't care if it was reasonable or not, and the eighteen oxen couldn't pull it back. He is still secretly calculating in his heart: You are not willing to join my Bai family, I must find someone who is willing to join my Bai family, let you have a look at the plateau, my Bai Changshou is by no means an ordinary person.
Bai Xue doesn't care about anything related to marriage and love. She didn't know that her father, Bai Changshou, had already begun to ask for marriage for her.
Although New China has implemented a new marriage law, free love, and monogamy, to truly realize free love, it is necessary to eradicate old ideas, establish a new order, and provide a new environment. The departments concerned have joined hands to organize various social activities to provide conditions for young people to marry.
The marriage campaign was given a very nice name, "Sorority". As the saying goes, many friends have many paths, and often meet and have deep friendships. The name of the sorority is very much in line with everyone's psychology.
The scene of this sorority was divided into three areas. District 1 is for young people. Zone 2 is middle-aged. Zone 3 is for the elderly. Bai Changshou was at the door of the venue, first looked at the geographical location of the three areas, and then went straight to District 1.
At the entrance of District 1, there was a service staff standing right there. People reminded:
"Comrade, you're at the wrong door."
"That's right."
"Older to District Three."
The service staff tried to avoid that old word as much as possible. Bai Changshou Says:
"I have a wife, and I'm asking for a marriage for a girl."
Bai Changshou's answer not only surprised the service staff, but also surprised other personnel. People couldn't stop looking him up and down, but Bai Changshou didn't feel the slightest feeling. He is full of confidence, feeling as if he is coming to the mall, to shop, as long as he wants to find it, even if it is a high price, he must get it and get it.
Bai Changshou also noticed that there were also many parents who came to accompany their children to marry and marry their children. However, he did not pay close attention to the fact that those parents who came to marry their children, especially their daughters, were paired up. Like him, a lone old man came to marry his daughter, and he was really unique.
In District 1, young men and women who come to marry are registered first. After registration, the boy will be given a red five-star and the girl will be given a small red flower as a gift. This gift is both a blessing and a sign of the holder's unmarried status.
When parents accompany their children to get married, the atmosphere is often more enthusiastic. Parents communicated first, and there were many parents who had a good relationship. The acquaintance of parents builds a bridge for the children to hold hands, and then the children communicate on their own, and this model has a higher success rate of men and women holding hands.
When single girls and boys come into contact with each other, it is often the boys who take the initiative. This is normal. If a man is numb, he should dare to take responsibility.
Bai Changshou walked among the young men who were seeking marriage. He wants to sift through it first, identify a few goals, and then have a face-to-face conversation. You look at his expression, it's really full of spirit, this is not to talk about friends and find a partner, but to purchase, as long as it is in his picture, he can take it away with his hand, as confident as a bag to take things.
A young man with a parent, Bai Changshou does not choose. He was looking for young men who came alone.
The first young man Bai Changshou met was surnamed Zhang, and he was also a talent. There are six brothers in the family, and he is the youngest. Judging from the way he dresses, he looks a little shabby than the average person, indicating that his family's economic conditions are poor.
Bai Changshou went straight to the point, directly introduced his family, daughter, etc., and then said:
"I have only one condition......"
The young man surnamed Zhang immediately raised his hand and intercepted Bai Changshou's words. He also looked around for a moment and said:
"If it's for me to change my name and surname, and go down this road, don't talk about it!"
The tone was categorical, not at all polite, as if it had been greatly insulted. He looked up just now, perhaps because he was afraid that people would hear about it, and it would be too damaging to his face. I saw him pat his chest and say:
"Although I am poor, I am so poor that I have backbone and ambition. I will not change my name or surname, and I will not forget my ancestors. If all the girls in the world are so domineering and don't know how many bowls of dry rice they can eat, then I will be a single for the rest of my life......"
These hard words were thrown out like a cannon. Bai Changshou's mouth was sealed tightly, he couldn't speak with his mouth open, and his face was red. This young man didn't have the good temper of Gao Yuan. As soon as he saw that Bai Changshou was stuck, he knew that he was talking about the other party's heart, so he stood up, slapped his butt and said:
"Goodbye".
People don't look back, they shake their hands and leave.
This slap on the butt shows the great anger of the young people. Because it was the first time we met, and you were relatively old, people suppressed the anger in their hearts. Otherwise, the slap would have been flattened in your face.
Bai Changshou was beaten with a stuffy stick, as if he was beaten twice in public. This most faceless person is a person who is a little older, but he was slapped in the face by a young man, and he didn't know how angry he was. In the past, he only knew how to make others angry. Now, the other party is not angry, he already feels that he can't stand it anymore.
Bai Changshou hit his head against the south wall as soon as he took a step, and his head broke and he was bleeding. He didn't summarize himself and find out the shortcomings, but comforted himself in his heart: "If you don't want to go down this road, there will always be someone who is willing to go." I'll pick another rookie. ”
Bai Changshou took square steps, with his hands behind his back, still looking so arrogant. He met with a second young man.
The young man's surname was Zhou, and he always had a smile on his face. He kept nodding to his acquaintance, blushing slightly. It was probably the first time he had participated in such a marriage event, and he felt a little embarrassed. Or to take the initiative to come here to find a partner, losing one's dignity. The traditional custom is that people come to the door to talk to the object. Qualified men don't have to worry about finding a wife.
Bai Changshou also introduced his family situation first, as he did just now. As soon as he was halfway through speaking, he was interrupted by a young man surnamed Zhou:
"If it's a matter of getting rich, you don't have to open Chrysostom, spend less time talking, and save some physical strength, I think you're not too young......
The young man spoke very civilly, and his words sounded very elegant, but in fact, every sentence was a mace, which made him feel distressed by Bai Changshou.
It is difficult for many young men to accept it. Don't say to do it, even if you mention it in front of him, it is a great insult to him. This young man surnamed Zhou was the same, he didn't even look at Bai Changshou again, only to see him stomp his feet, shake his hands, and turn away.
Bai Changshou lost two battles in a row, but he did not give up. He didn't think he had a problem, but he felt that these young people had too poor vision, and they couldn't understand that they were different from ordinary people. They underestimate themselves.
Bai Changshou confidently dated the third young man. This young man is also a talent, the difference is that he is sitting there reading a book. It seems to have deviated from the theme of this meeting. Bai Changshou stood in front of the young man. The young man raised his head and looked behind Bai Changshou.
Bai Changshou knew what the young man was looking for, and immediately returned:
"You don't have to look for it, I'm alone."
This time, the young man looked Bai Changshou up and down. He spoke first:
"If you find a son-in-law, then don't talk about it. Unless ......"
This first sentence gave Bai Changshou a slap in the face, like a basin of cold water poured on his heart. The following two words "unless" brought a glimmer of hope to Bai Changshou. Bai Changshou also wanted to know what these boys thought. He immediately took over the conversation:
"Unless what?"
The boy smiled and said:
"Unless the son-in-law at home says the count, everything must be done according to his ideas"
The boy didn't say anything more, and he didn't open his eyes to see Bai Changshou again, but put his eyes on the book in his hand.
Bai Changshou is only difficult at this time. He wanted to talk to the boy again. Looking at the boy's expression, the conditions proposed by others were not negotiable. If you can do what others say, it is equivalent to finding another "father" for yourself and a young "father". Bai Changshou knew that this young man was powerful, he was more powerful than those who scolded his ancestors for three generations, he didn't say a single dirty word in front of him, but he also scolded himself the most......
Bai Changshou didn't say anything, and he walked out of the field in disgrace.
