Fang Hanmin moved out of the old rhetoric, and it was easy to prevaricate Lu Hui's problem, because in Lu Hui's impression, Fang Hanmin was not only smart, but also serious in his work, so Lu Hui was convinced of his explanation.

The reunion of old classmates, in addition to talking about work, is naturally indispensable for personal problems, Lu Hui has already started a family, he is very concerned about the lifelong affairs of the two classmates, but Fang Hanmin and Yu Dongmei's response is not positive.

"Hanmin is busy with technical work all day long, and rarely interacts with the outside world, so it is understandable that he is single. Yu Dongmei, with your personality and appearance, there should be no shortage of suitors, right? Lu Hui had to ask what was going on.

Yu Dongmei exchanged glances with Fang Hanmin in a way that only they understood, and she said casually: "I'm not as anxious as you, isn't the government advocating late marriage and late childbearing now?" At the moment I am actively asking for progress, and I have responded to the government's call to reconsider personal issues after the age of 30. Lu Hui, don't underestimate Fang Hanmin, how do you know that he has no contact with the outside world? Let me tell you, there are a lot of beautiful girls in their Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, maybe the people chasing him will line up. With that, he giggled.

"Really? Hanmin, it seems that I am lonely and unaware of the situation. ”

"Lu Hui, Dongmei made fun of me, do you believe it too?"

Laughing enough, Yu Dongmei said seriously: "Lifelong events pay attention to fate, it's not that you can do whatever you want, it's useless to be anxious." ”

The meal was eaten for more than three hours, the three old classmates only cared about talking, and they didn't drink much, and finally, Lu Hui proposed a toast, he and Fang Hanmin drank half of the wine in the cup, Fang Hanmin suggested not drinking anymore, "Tomorrow you have to take the car back to Guichun, we also have to go to work, it's not worth it if you drink too much wine." Wait for a holiday to get together again, and I'll accompany you when the time comes, and we'll get drunk! ”

......

On Saturday morning, Fang Hanmin received a letter from home, and when he touched the letter, it felt thicker, indicating that there was a lot of content written in it, so he hurriedly tore it open and found that there were five pages of stationery inside.

Reading it from beginning to end, the letter is mainly written in three aspects.

First of all, he answered the questions mentioned by Fang Hanmin in his letter to his family last time, and in the letter he wrote to his family last time, Fang Hanmin focused on the extent to which the house repair plan in his hometown was implemented, and of course, there were other small things.

Speaking of the house repair plan in his hometown, it was agreed with his parents when Fang Hanmin came home on May Day, and his parents hoped that Fang Hanmin would contribute money to help his hometown repair the house, but Fang Hanmin's existing savings were only half of the funds needed to repair the house.

Parents think that Fang Hanmin is already a big man, even if his brother Fang Xinmin is also a young man in his early twenties, because the house in his hometown is in disrepair, his parents feel that once someone comes to the door to tell the brothers that the matchmaker proposes marriage, they are afraid that the woman will dislike his house and affect his son's lifelong event, so even if the funds for repairing the house are insufficient, his mother Xu Guihua would rather borrow money from relatives and friends to repair the house as soon as possible.

In this reply, it is said that the mother had mentioned the matter of borrowing money to several relatives and friends, but the other party did not give a clear reply, neither agreed nor disagreed, and in short, has not borrowed money so far. In other words, the matter of repairing the house in my hometown has not yet been put on the agenda.

The second content of this letter is actually to congratulate Fang Hanmin. There was no television in my hometown, but some people in the village saw the news about the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory and Fang Hanmin from the Shuangling Daily, which was subscribed by the village committee, and some people heard the news from the loudspeaker in the village. Zhao, the elder of the militia company, brought the newspaper back from the village committee and handed it to Fang Xiecheng, and the old man was overjoyed after reading it, and he immediately told everyone in his family the news.

At the end of the letter, he hoped that Fang Hanmin would return to his hometown this Sunday, and it was said that his parents had important matters to discuss with him.

"It's so mysterious, what can't be explained in the letter? I'm going to have to go back. It's a pity that there is no phone in his hometown, otherwise Fang Hanmin would have to ask his parents about it.

If he decided to go back, he would have to leave this afternoon, not only to ask for leave from Xue Xue, the elder of the technical department, but also to inform Yu Dongmei, because the two of them had planned to meet over the weekend.

After calling the Academic Affairs Office of Shuangling No. 3 Middle School and finding Yu Dongmei, Fang Hanmin felt very guilty, because he could only meet Yu Dongmei on weekends every week, and the two of them were looking forward to getting together on the weekend, but this weekend was going to be occupied by other things!

"Dongmei, I'm sorry, I received a letter from my hometown in the morning, asking me to go back on Sunday, saying that there is something important to discuss."

Yu Dongmei didn't seem to think much about it, "My hometown told you to go back, so let's go." I want to discuss important things with you, do I want you to go back on a blind date? Hahaha! ”

"Dongmei, I'm in a hurry like this, you're still joking, are you deliberately making fun of me?"

"Why are you being teased? I'm telling the truth, your parents are from the countryside, and when they see that their son is in his twenties and doesn't have a girlfriend, he must not be able to sit still. ”

"Okay, don't make up stories, I'll go back and see what's going on at home, and we'll see you next weekend."

Putting down the phone, Fang Hanmin came to Section Chief Xue's office, and after explaining his intentions, Lao Xue agreed to his request very happily.

After lunch, Fang Hanmin went directly to the Shuangling long-distance bus station, after a bumpy road, hurried and hurried, and when he arrived at his hometown, it was already thousands of lights.

Seeing Fang Hanmin appear at the door of the house, the family was very surprised, and his mother Xu Guihua couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Hanmin, are you back?" ”

Fang Hanmin's face was full of exhaustion, "You said in the letter that there is something important to discuss, let me go home, I asked for leave and came back." ”

"It's good to come back, come into the house and rest, and eat in a while."

At the dinner table, Fang Hanmin couldn't wait to ask: "Parents, you are so anxious to let me come back, what are you going to discuss with me?" ”

"Eat first, then talk about it after eating." Father Fang Xiecheng always looks serious.

After dinner, Fang Hanmin sat around the table with his parents, and although he felt very tired, he would not be able to sleep until he figured out what was going on at home.

"Mom and Dad, you asked me to come back, do you want to discuss with me about repairing the house?" Fang Hanmin asked eagerly.

Xu Guihua exchanged glances with his wife Fang Xiecheng, and then said unhurriedly: "The matter of repairing the house is only one of the aspects, and there is another important matter to discuss with you when you come back this time." ”

"The letter said that there is something important to discuss, but you should say it quickly!" Fang Hanmin said anxiously.

"Hanmin, you are twenty-five or sixteen, and a young man of your age in the village can walk. A few days ago, someone came to your door to tell you the matchmaker, and we promised to come down for you, considering that you usually don't have time to go home, the two sides set the meeting time on Sunday, so we asked you to come back in the letter. ”

Fang Hanmin remembered what Yu Dongmei said on the phone, and he laughed secretly, could she have foresight? "What do you mean, do you want me to come back on a blind date?"

"Yes, we have discussed with the matchmaker, so you can meet with the woman tomorrow." Fang Xiecheng, the old father who had not spoken, directly picked out the words.

Unfortunately, Yu Dongmei said, Fang Hanmin couldn't cry or laugh a little, "I remember when I came back on May Day, you discussed with me about repairing the house in your hometown, and I made it clear that I don't need you to consider my personal problems, why do you have to worry about me?" ”

"Hanmin, you are busy with work in the unit and don't have time to think about your life's events, so we should help you worry about it."

"Mom, I received your kindness, but I really don't need you to worry about it for me."

"Hanmin, we don't actually have any worries, but someone takes the initiative to come to the door to propose marriage, we can't push people out, right? And you can't even guess who the introducer is? ”

"Who?"

"Remember the militia company commander in the village? That is, you Uncle Zhao. ”

It's been five or six years since I left the village, and I rarely went home a few years ago, not to mention the traverser, even the host, I almost forgot about this person, "Militia company commander? Uncle Zhao? What's wrong with him? ”

"The introducer is your Uncle Zhao's wife, the woman is her niece, it is said that she is good looking, and she is also the women's director of their village."

Fang Hanmin couldn't raise any interest in this, "Mom, no matter how well you talk about the girl, I don't know her, do you think there can be love between me and her?" ”

The conversation between the mother and son made the old man a little unbearable, his face became more and more gloomy, "Hanmin, we are also for your good, you haven't met the woman yet, you think this is not good, I think, in a family like ours, it would be good for someone to take the initiative to propose marriage." ”

"I understand your feelings, the problem is that no one has come to the door to propose marriage before, aren't we still doing well? Marriage is not charity, and I don't need anyone's mercy even if this family is bad. ”

"Hanmin, what you said is very unpleasant, men should marry women when they are married, you are so old, you don't even have a girlfriend, you don't care, we parents can't ignore the influence in the village. People take the initiative to come to the door to propose, how can it become pity in your mouth? ”

Seeing that the views of the father and son were becoming more and more contradictory, and their emotions became more and more excited, without waiting for Fang Hanmin to answer, his mother Xu Guihua interjected: "Hanmin, since you are back, let's meet with the woman tomorrow, first, to give Uncle Zhao and his wife a face, in addition, maybe you really like each other after meeting, maybe." ”

"Mom, I'm not the kind of person who insists on going his own way, since I'm back, even if I don't care about anyone's face, at least I can't embarrass you, so don't worry, I must see this face tomorrow. However, it is difficult to say what the outcome will be. ”

Hearing Fang Hanmin's promise, the old couple finally put their minds at ease, Xu Guihua's face immediately had a smile, and she took out a newspaper from the cabinet in the corner, "Hanmin, we saw you in the newspaper, it's not simple." ”

This is the Shuangling Daily a few days ago, Fang Hanmin took the newspaper and looked at it, put it on the table, and said indifferently: "There is such a thing, but the matter has passed." ”

"If you get in the newspaper, you will be famous, and this time the unit will use you more, right?"

"I'm just a leader in the work, so what if I don't reuse it? Reuse me, but also do those jobs, don't reuse, I'll be more idle. Let's not talk about this, I want to know what you are going to do with this house at home? I'm more concerned about this than tomorrow's blind date. ”

In fact, Fang Hanmin had already learned about the progress of this matter from the family letter, but he had to personally ask his parents about the situation. As stated in the letter, because the building funds were still half short, her mother Xu Guihua proposed to several relatives to borrow money, but three or four months have passed, and there has been no response, which makes her very distressed.

Even if it has nothing to do with him, Fang Hanmin thinks that this house should really be repaired, otherwise, it will not be able to resist the severe convective disaster weather at all.
