Chapter 37: Matchmaking

After dinner, Chen Wenhai and Hu Zhanyong sat in the bedroom and chatted.

Hu Zhanyong lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and then spit out smoke rings one by one, looking at the smoke rings that slowly drifted away.

"How did you talk to Ding Yuanyuan?"

"I don't like her at all, I ask, and she answers, like a prisoner! I don't have anything to say with her, it's a sin! ”

"And what are you going to do in the future?"

"I've already blown it with her!"

"You'd better think about it."

"What's there to think about?" Chen Wenhai raised his voice, "I didn't want to solve personal problems through other people's introductions, but my mother has already brought people, so I just dealt with them out of politeness." Hu Zhanyong, I always felt that Zhang Xuemei still loved me, but she didn't dare to go out for a walk with me because someone put pressure on her. You tell me the truth, will Zhang Xuemei marry me in the end? ”

"Then it's up to you to try."

"How hard are you trying? I can't force her to marry me! ”

"How's your relationship now?"

"It's okay."

"Tell me the truth, do you have to marry her?"

"You know, I've always wanted to find a beautiful and virtuous wife, and Zhang Xuemei just meets my standards."

Hu Zhanyong took a few puffs of cigarette, pondered for a while, and then said to Chen Wenhai:

"For the sake of us being good friends, I'll help you. She still listens to me. ”

"Do you have any good ideas? Can you tell me about it? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, you will watch me then!"

"Do you really have that much ability? You're in love with her too, aren't you? ”

"How could I fall in love with her! I don't plan to stay in Hubei for the rest of my life, I am applying to the principal to be transferred back to Tianjin. ”

"Will he let you go?"

"Pretty much." Hu Zhanyong snuffed out the cigarette butt, "Before I transfer away, I must find a way to let Zhang Xuemei marry you!" How's it going, are you friends enough? ”

"You're coaxing me, aren't you?"

"How can it! I, Hu Zhanyong, are still very angry with my buddies! ”

"Then I've heard your good news!"

After Chen Chunmei came back from school, her mother said to her:

"This morning, I went to Ding Yuanyuan's house, Ding Yuanyuan's face was unhappy, and her mother was also cold to me! Later, I went to ask Li Fang, only to find out that your brother had broken up with Ding Yuanyuan! What's wrong with Ding Yuanyuan? Isn't she just not as beautiful as Zhang Xuemei? ”

"Mom, you're mistaken, my brother broke up with Ding Yuanyuan not because she didn't look beautiful!"

"And what do you say is the reason?"

"My brother doesn't like her!"

"I know: your brother likes Zhang Xuemei because she is beautiful!"

"Mom, can you not say that about my brother?" Chen Chunmei pursed her lips, "You don't like any girl my brother likes, why do you keep going against my brother?" ”

"It's not that I'm going to go against your brother, it's that the girls your brother likes don't really like your brother!"

"Is there any basis for what you say?"

"Of course there is a basis! If they really like your brother, then why don't they want to marry your brother? ”

"And that's not all because of you!"

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Forget it, I won't talk about it, let's save some face for you!"

Just as she was saying this, Chen Hualin came back from work, and Shen Ruolan hurriedly said to her husband:

"Your son blew it to Ding Yuanyuan, he thought Ding Yuanyuan was a worker, not beautiful, not well-educated, and couldn't speak! Can you find a girl for him that satisfies him? ”

"Where are you going to let me find a girl like this? However, when I was chatting with my colleagues just now, they said: There is a girl named Li Yafang in the middle school of 54 factory children, and she wants to find a Shanghainese. ”

"Is she pretty?"

"It's okay. I've seen this Li Yafang, anyway, she looks more beautiful than Ding Yuanyuan. Li Yafang is a native of Shanghai, has just graduated from university, is a middle school Chinese teacher, and is well-informed and eloquent. ”

"How can it be so coincidental?" Chen Chunmei clapped her hands happily, "I think: my brother needs a girl like Li Yafang!" If I had such a sister-in-law, I would be satisfied! ”

"Don't be too happy, we don't know if Li Yafang will fall in love with your brother now!"

"Don't pour cold water, okay? An excellent boy like my brother, where can she Li Yafang find it? ”

"It's not that I'm pouring cold water, but I'm worried: your brother is not in good health and has such a withdrawn personality, a cheerful girl like Li Yafang may not like your brother!" Shen Ruolan frowned, then continued, "Also, I heard: Now Li Fang seems to be beating your brother's idea. The couple is now divorcing, and if your brother sticks to her, others will treat your brother as a third party! ”

"If others think so, we can't control it! I wish they had divorced sooner so that my brother would have been bold enough to pursue her! ”

"What's so good about Li Fang? Isn't it just pretty? ”

"Isn't it good to be pretty? Don't you like her too? ”

"Like is like, but it doesn't mean that it is suitable for being my daughter-in-law! I heard: Li Fang likes to associate with those boys who are not careful, if your brother marries her, I am worried that she will suffer! ”

"How so? Sister Li Fang likes my brother so much! ”

"How not? If your brother and her are married, and those indiscriminate boys still come to her, won't your brother's reputation be over? ”

"It's not going to be as serious as you think, is it? Sister Li Fang and I are not only classmates, but also good friends and sisters, and I will persuade Sister Li Fang to cut off contact with those boys who are not careful! ”

"Will Li Fang listen to you like that?"

"I think so!"

One day not long after, the father brought a man to Chen Wenhai's residence, and he pointed to this man and said to his son:

"This is my colleague Master Gao, he knows Li Yafang and wants to introduce Li Yafang to you, I don't know if you would like to meet her?"

Chen Wenhai smiled and didn't answer immediately.

"Don't just laugh, do you want to see her?"

"I ......"

"Don't spit out, hurry up!" Gao Haijun couldn't help laughing, "Are you embarrassed to say it?" Actually, it's nothing, men should get married, and women should get married! ”

"Master Gao, you misunderstood, I'm not embarrassed to say it, but I don't want to think about marriage yet!"

"Why?"

"Because I'm not in good health now, and I haven't taught me well!"

"I think that in a situation like yours, marriage should be even more considered!" Gao Haijun said, "After you get married, you will have a beautiful wife to take care of you every day, and as soon as you are in a good mood, your body will get better quickly!" I heard: Li Yafang also loves to read very much, and she teaches books well, with her helping you in your career, are you still worried about whether you will teach books well in the future? ”

"You seem to have a point, however, you have overlooked the most important point!"

"What is it? I'll hear it! ”

"Still don't understand? It's love! ”

"Oh, that's it! You young people like to talk about love, in fact, isn't marriage just to get by? ”

"Don't you need love to live? If you want to make your life enjoyable, this love is indispensable! Without love, family life will become dull and even full of gunpowder! Not to mention, let's take my parents as an example, the two of them are incompatible because they have no love, and they are noisy all day long, will such a marriage tragedy be repeated in our next generation? The more Chen Wenhai spoke, the more excited he became, "How much pain has such a marriage tragedy caused to the hearts of our next generation, can I still allow such a marriage tragedy to happen again?" ”
