In the blink of an eye, time passed to 1985, and Sun Chaohua had entered the second semester of his sophomore year.

I went to my second aunt's house for New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival and talked about personal matters, and my second aunt's husband Jia Shuming suddenly asked, "Chaohua, you are twenty-three this year, and you will be twenty-five after graduating in two years, have you considered what type of girl you want to find?" ”

After Jia Shuming's question, Sun Chaohua suddenly remembered Wang Huanyi, for the sake of his career and in order to fight with himself, he found a beautiful man; Thinking of my younger brother who quit his marriage not long ago, I found a girl with a primary school education, who admits death and is more stubborn.

Neither of these types of girls is for you? So what's right for you? He thought for a while and said to his uncle, "I want to find a girl with a secondary school or a high level of Chinese, preferably from the countryside, hard-working, able to run a family and get along with the elderly, of course, you have to have a certain external image." ”

"Can you consider a successor girl in the city?" The second aunt asked.

Sun Chaohua thought for a while and said, "You can consider it."

The second aunt saw that Sun Chaohua did not reject the type of girl he said, so he said, "If this is the case, I suggest that you settle down now if you have the right one, at this age, the choice is very large, if you graduate, the range of choices will be small, and now they are all male and female one or two years old." ”

"You're right, I'm in school now, the circle is small, and there is no suitable one." After Sun Chaohua finished speaking to his uncle, he spread his hands outward, looking helpless.

"A few years ago, Teacher Ni from the library chatted with me, saying that Teacher Lu from the school infirmary asked her to find a college student for her niece, hoping to come from the countryside and be filial to her parents," the uncle-in-law reminded, "If you are interested, I will ask after the Spring Festival, and if possible, make an appointment with you to meet, and then it will be up to you." ”

"Okay," Sun Chaohua saw that his second uncle-in-law recommended him, so he wanted to know about it.

After the Spring Festival, the second aunt began to ask Teacher Ni to inquire about the girl's movements, and when he learned that he was still looking for it, he asked Teacher Ni to match Chaohua.

On a weekend in April, he met with the girl his second aunt had introduced to him.

The girl's name is Lu Shujuan, she is one meter six tall, with a melon seed face, delicate eyebrows, and a slender figure.

Teacher Ni said that the girl took over her father's class, came from the countryside, and had a high degree of Chinese.

Teacher Ni was in her room, and after introducing Sun Chaohua and Lu Shujuan to each other, she went out under the pretext.

There were only two young people left in the room, and after a period of loneliness, Sun Chaohua felt that the atmosphere was solemn, and he wanted to find a topic, so he just spoke, "You ------" and found that the girl also shouted, "You ------" The two laughed at the same time, "Or do you say it first?" Sun Chaohua preemptively humbled.

The girl smiled again with dimples and said, "Then I'll ask casually," she first asked Sun Chaohua if he was tired from studying, whether he was busy now, and so on. ”

Sun Chaohua said, "Our college is a national enrollment, but those from the province are generally assigned to the original city. ”

"Then are you sure that you will be assigned to Xijing?" "It's hard to say, for now, there are more students from Xijing, and the competition is fierce, and I am from the countryside, so the probability of staying in this city is small." Sun Chaohua didn't want to hide anything, so he answered truthfully.

"Then where can I stay in this city?" The girl's voice was very small, but Sun Chaohua could hear it clearly.

"Unless there is a local company or factory that is willing to pay for the training and introduce the students according to the orientation, the employer needs to give the trainees a commission training fee."

"How much does that unit give?" Hearing this topic, the girl asked excitedly.

"About 10,000 yuan!" Sun Chaoqun replied.

The girl paused for a while and said, "10,000 yuan doesn't seem to be a difficult thing for the unit, our unit has paid for training, and a profession like you is also suitable for our unit." ”

The girl asked, smiled again, and said, "It's your turn to ask me." ”

Sun Chaohua thought for a while and said, "I have two questions, can you answer them after you think about them?" ”

"Yes," the girl nodded.

"First question, do you mind if you can't stay in Xijing after graduation? Second, why do you also like intellectual men from the countryside? ”

The girl pondered for a while and said, "Of course I hope that the other party will stay in the city after graduation, but that is not a prerequisite for two people to be combined, if you trust each other and work hard, this wish will also come true!" ”

After answering the first question, the girl thought for a while and said, "As for the second question you said, frankly speaking, I have no concept, it was my father who gave me advice to choose, he said, children from the countryside are simple, honest, know the suffering of their parents, and forget their roots less. ”

"What's your father's title?" Sun Chaohua was a little curious and suddenly asked.

"He is a veteran college student who was an engineer before he retired from our factory." The girl's answer to Sun Chaohua was more detailed than his question.

"Do you agree with your father?" Sun Chaohua asked tentatively again.

"From my father's point of view, to my mother and to us, I agree with him."

"Then you are the only seedling in the family?" "No, there's an older brother up there who has graduated from college." The girl replied to Sun Chaohua.

"I am very happy to meet for the first time today, do you think we have a chance to communicate with each other again?" Before Sun Chaohua finished meeting, he wanted to see the girl's reaction.

"If you want, I'm fine?" The girl glanced at Sun Chaohua and bowed her head to answer.

"Okay, can you leave your contact address?"

"Of course," the girl said, found a piece of paper and pen on the table, quickly wrote the address, and handed it to Sun Chaohua.

Sun Chaohua took the note and said, "I hope we have more opportunities to communicate." After saying goodbye, he left Mr. Ni's room.

After bidding farewell to Teacher Ni and her second aunt, I came to the head teacher of the cram school, and now Ms. Yang, the director of Xifeng Middle School.

"Hello Teacher Yang," Sun Chaohua still maintained the original practice, knocked on the door--- entered the door --- salute, Teacher Yang saw Sun Chaohua, unexpectedly, both surprised and relieved, quickly took his hand, let him sit down, greeted for a while, exchanged about the situation of Teacher Yang's school, Sun Chaohua College.

"Why didn't you come here without saying hello," Teacher Yang asked.

"I heard that the teacher was promoted, so I came to congratulate you!" Without waiting for Sun Chaohua to finish speaking, Teacher Yang asked, "Who did you listen to?" ”

"Teacher Ni told me that it was announced after the year," Sun Chaohua replied.

"Are you familiar with Teacher Ni?" Seeing that Sun Chaohua had a relationship with the librarian of the school, Teacher Yang was curious and asked casually.

When Sun Chaohua saw that Mr. Yang asked, he told Mr. Yang that his second aunt was the chef at school, loved to read novels and books, and often went to the library to borrow books outside of work.

"Then did you come to Mr. Ni for something?" Teacher Yang asked again.

Sun Chaohua told him about Mr. Ni's introduction to Mr. Lu's niece, and then asked Mr. Yang if he was familiar with Mr. Lu's eldest brother's family.

Teacher Yang pondered for a while, and said to Sun Chaohua, "Chaohua, I shouldn't say much about Teacher Lu's niece, but Teacher Lu's prestige in the school is not good, mainly because of the style of life, and there is more than one?" ”

"Really?" Sun Chaohua asked in surprise, he hoped to hear if it was true.

"It's true," Mr. Yang replied very seriously, "However, maybe the personalities of my niece and aunt are completely different, maybe I shouldn't mention it, considering that you may not be assigned to Xijing after graduation, if you are combined, you need to live a life in two places, so I said it casually." ”

Sun Chaohua listened to Teacher Yang's words, his mood was very heavy, and the joy just now suddenly became heavy, and he even looked listless when he said goodbye to Teacher Yang.
