3. Jin Ping's thoughts
Zhao Jinchan finally broke up with her sister and went back. Zhao Jinping's heart began to empty again, but fortunately, the shuttle bus stopped by her side immediately and took her back to the county seat quickly, and Zhao Jinping got off the bus before she had time to worry.
Zhao Jinping brought fries, pastries, and fresh fruit from home to distribute to a few good sisters to eat. During this period of time, two or three apprentices left one after another, and Huang Caizhen recruited four or five, not only did not decrease in the number of apprentices, but there were two more. Therefore, there are no extra sewing machines in the store for apprentices to learn, fortunately, Huang Caizhen is a very creative person, she now divides these people into two classes, divided into day and night shifts, naturally the day shift is those girls who study hard and want to learn real skills, and those who don't want to study hard and just want to mix up their lives are put on the night shift. Huang Caizhen's teaching requirements for day and night classes are also different. You study hard and study hard, and I also take out real skills to teach, and if you come to something, then I don't need to take you seriously.
Zhao Jinping is also an old senior, Huang Caizhen saw Jin Ping's learning, so she specially asked Zhao Jinping and the other two to talk to each other, hoping that Zhao Jinping and them would work harder and deeply understand a few essentials, and she especially pinned her hopes on Jin Ping. Zhao Jinping's tailoring skills have improved rapidly at this stage, and Huang Caizhen is happy. Huang Caizhen has real talent and learning, and she has held several clothing training classes. It's a pity that there is not a single person who can really learn the real skills from her. These apprentices came in as soon as they were in a honeycomb, and there were a few good seedlings at first, but unfortunately Huang Caizhen no matter how hard he tried, he was finally harmed by those who were messing around in the store. Huang Caizhen herself has also learned about these apprentices, among the apprentices she has trained in the first two phases, there are only two people who really go out to open a unique store, and these two people can't open it after less than a year. Although there are many reasons for this, the most important point is that it is not good at learning and art, conservative thinking, and it is difficult to combine it with the actual situation. Such technology, such a process, and such an inflexible use of open innovation that keeps pace with the times can only lose money for anyone. Therefore, some people think that her Huang Caizhen craftsmanship is not refined, and she runs study classes just to make money, lacking the spirit of craftsmanship. Huang Caizhen couldn't argue, knocked out her front teeth and swallowed it in her stomach. Now that a few good seedlings have finally come out, which can give her a chance to raise her eyebrows, Huang Caizhen is sad and happy. The sad thing is that the hard work I have paid in the past few years has been lost in vain, and I have not put up my own banner well, and I am happy that the rain has finally passed, and a good seedling has finally appeared in front of my eyes, and my wish is about to come true. Although Huang Caizhen is only a woman, she also has dignity and arrogance, and she easily does not fail.
Huang Caizhen found various fabrics from somewhere to get Jin Ping and her two other apprentices to learn how to make clothes. She mixed these bits and pieces of cloth together, and asked Jin Ping and the others to sort them by themselves, to find out the best match of the color and merits of these fabrics, what kind of cloth has what characteristics, what clothes are suitable for what kind of clothes, what age people are to wear, what their attributes are, and through continuous combination, classification, and induction, they really understand their attributes. After passing this level, they still have to go with her in batches to inspect weaving factories, weaving and dyeing factories, wholesale markets, garment workshops and other aspects.
Zhao Jinping has basically mastered the essentials of garment making by herself, and if she has the funds, she should be able to cope with the past by opening her own store. But Huang Caizhen didn't dare to let Zhao Jinping out, Huang Caizhen finally met an apprentice she was satisfied with, and she needed time for Zhao Jinping to digest the details of her skills. Zhao Jinping has now begun to take over some of the business and instruct beginners in the Caizhen clothing store. But after all, she is still just a fledgling, and her wings and feathers are not yet full, especially the fabric concept for suits is still a little vague, which is her weakness and needs to be strengthened through continuous practice. Business level is her weakness, Zhao Jinping usually doesn't talk much, has a shy personality, and doesn't like to treat people. This personality led to a fatal wound in her inability to communicate effectively with customers. If there is any problem, not only can it not be solved in a short time, on the contrary, it may lead to communication failure due to lack of communication channels or make customers lose patience and increase communication costs. Effective or efficient communication skills are almost cost-free and convincing to customers, and thus depend on you. An excellent staff not only understands the needs of customers in advance, but also needs to understand the psychology of customers, and is a mentor and friend to customers rather than the object of customer fear. When a customer finds out that he has been deceived, it is tantamount to a fantasy that you want to win back the customer, why can't you cultivate your internal strength in advance, temporary cramming is definitely the worst performance.
In the evening, Zhao Jinping carefully analyzed the master's words and felt that the sentences were reasonable and irrefutable. She began to suffer from insomnia, and she used to think that she would be able to support her family in the future. Now she feels the ignorance and superficiality of the past, she thinks that learning her craft is like reading, as long as she can recognize the words and use some work, there is no need to live so hard and painful, she should be tolerant of herself, be kind, as long as she does not make mistakes, is not lazy, and does not take advantage of others, she can get by. Now it seems that some of the ideas and concepts in the past are not enough, which makes her more and more afraid the more she thinks about it, and she feels that she needs to find the golden key to solve these contradictions.
Zhao Jinping is simple-minded, does not have too many fancy intestines, is kind and responsible. Those excessive thoughts would make her sleep, and that's when she wished she was a stronger person. She even wished that she could become a man, and she had many dreams that she was really wearing armor, wearing a steel helmet, holding a spear in one hand and a golden shield in the other, riding on a horse, majestic. She even dreamed that she had a long beard growing from her mouth, and she was thinking about something with one hand holding her beard.
When she woke up, she felt very funny and angry, she couldn't guess why she often had these boring dreams, and she didn't know what they meant after doing them again and again, and she couldn't tell anyone about such dreams. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke. Should she still show the meaning of the dream that she can't even fathom to the public, she doesn't have the courage to do so.
Caizhen clothing store is a lucky star today. Zhao Jinping had just opened the door of the store, and before she even had time to do the washing work, several customers stood at the door shouting to make new clothes for herself. Zhao Jinping smiled and introduced them into the store, Huang Caizhen couldn't have come to the store so early. Therefore, the reception work can only be done by Zhao Jinping personally. Fortunately, Zhao Jinping has received this kind of thing twice, and it can be said that she is familiar with the road. This is three customers in a family, but there are three generations of old, middle and young, and they are a man and two women. The man looked no less than seventy years old, with a vicissitudes of life, a full beard, a messy beard and hair, and a little dirty, clearly going out to come here without preparation. The woman is in her forties, wearing a sky blue blouse, which is rarely worn at her age, the pants are black, she wears a pair of boat-shaped cloth shoes on her feet, blue socks, and her body is thin and shriveled. The little girl was in her teens and dragged a piece of snot, two crimson marks appeared where the snot passed, her hair was yellow, obviously malnourished, her coat was also dirty, and a piece of fabric in front of her was already shiny. When Zhao Jinping pulled the little girl in, the little girl was afraid to cling to the woman's side and refused to come out alone.
After asking the three of them what clothes they needed, Zhao Jinping recommended the fabric in the store, and the fabric was set, and then Zhao Jinping took out a tape measure and began to measure their bodies. The old man said: "Our whole family came to your store early in the morning, this business is also a good start, you give me a good time, we are poor people in the countryside, we can save one is one, girl, you must give us a discount." ”
Zhao Jinping smiled and said to the old man: "Uncle, don't worry, the price I quoted you is the lowest price in our city, and there is almost no profit." Besides, if you wait outside our store early in the morning and give us a good start, we must be happy that this offer has already been given to you. ”
The woman answered: "Girl, we don't ask for anything else, we only have one request, we are in a hurry, can you do it for us this morning, we will catch up with the wedding banquet in the evening." ”
This made Zhao Jinping very embarrassed, if she didn't agree, she was afraid that the business would be yellow, and if she didn't do it today, she didn't know what the consequences would be if she lost her trust. Seeing that these three people are in such a hurry, it is really unbearable to refuse. But the customer has already said that he has no emergency ability, but he can't refuse in person, so he has to say: "Sister, I know you are in a hurry, and I am also anxious for you, but I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to take away the clothes in the morning, so let's try to do it according to your requirements, but it will definitely be too late to deliver in the morning, and I guarantee that I can satisfy you in the afternoon." ”
The old man said, you have more than ten machines here, and it is too late to make three sets of clothes in the morning, I don't believe it, I will come to pick it up at noon at the latest, if you are not sure, don't take the order, I will make the business for you, you have to think about it carefully.
Zhao Jinping wanted to explain the reason, but the old man just refused to back down, this was because she couldn't place an order for a while, what if she couldn't complete it and was blamed by the master. The three of them had to have good fabrics and the cheapest prices, and the receipts were particularly urgent, without considering the feelings of the store. She thought about it again and again, and was in a dilemma, and then she most longed for her master to appear in front of her immediately.
The dimensions of the three of them were measured and recorded, and the fabric was also selected by the three of them, but this matter was stuck. What to do? What to do? Zhao Jinping kept asking herself in her heart: Can't you do this little thing yourself, if you open your own store in the future, will you also procrastinate like this, the customer is God, but if you really meet a customer, you will put out the difficulties that are not difficult, Zhao Jinping, what do you mean? What are you fighting for, people must be very anxious and waiting at your door before dawn. Promise them, it's a big deal to be scolded by the master, this grievance seems to be only suffered by yourself, and it is better to be wronged than to lose business. Didn't the master say that the first business every day should be done even if it is a loss, after all, it is a good start and a good market.
The old man was impatient, so he lost his temper and said, "Can you call the shots and give me a good time, no, I'll change to another store to do it immediately." ”
I can't hesitate anymore, I can't hesitate anymore, promise them.
"That's okay, uncle, eldest sister, I promised you."
The three of them walked out of the door and told her vigorously: "You must not break our trust." ”
Zhao Jinping sent the three of them away, took out the cloth and spread it on the desk, she took the record book against the data and began to measure the cloth cutting, and there were students in the store one after another, seeing that Zhao Jinping was cutting, they all gathered around to see. Student Li Shufang said: Senior sister, this is the first time I have seen you cut cloth, and I am thinking in my heart, when will I have the ability to do this work by myself, and I will be a teacher. Jin Ping said, "Shufang, you have learned almost all the time since you came here so many days later than me, and anyone will have their first time, so why don't you cut it with me." ”
Li Shufang hurriedly shook her hand and said, "No, no, Sister Pingping, I don't dare, if I make a mistake, I can't afford to pay for it." ”
Zhao Jinping smiled and said: "Come on, don't worry about this, besides, even if you cut the cloth, I am not the senior sister, the senior sister will carry it for you, the master will lose money, and I will do it for you." ”
Li Shufang said: "As soon as the senior sister said this, I didn't dare to do it, in case it was really so embarrassing." ”
Jin Ping took Shufang's hand and handed her the scissors: "Come on, cut it according to the size on my paper, I will pay for the mistake." ”
Li Shufang can't do it anymore, and the surrounding juniors are all coaxing: "Senior sister, let's cut, what are you afraid of." ”
Li Shufang said: "That being the case, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Sister Pingping, I will pay for the damage myself." ”
Zhao Jinping said: "Okay, Sister Ping believes in you, do it." ”
Li Shufang gritted her teeth, lowered her head and took a ruler to measure the size, drew chalk along the ruler, and then cut it out with a 'click, click'. In order to encourage her, the onlookers applauded vigorously.
Master Huang Caizhen walked in and said to these beloved apprentices with a smile: "What happy event makes you so happy, who has found a boyfriend?" ”
Juanzi, a primary school girl, said: "Master, who dares to be so flamboyant when she finds a boyfriend, it was Sister Pingping who encouraged Sister Shufang to cut the cloth, and Sister Shufang didn't dare to cut it at first, for fear that the master would blame her for the broken cut, and it was Sister Pingping who said that the broken cloth was hers, so Sister Shufang dared to cut it boldly." ”
Huang Caizhen smiled and blamed Jin Ping and said: "I don't think you are a bold person, how dare you be such a big lord today, in case the master's cloth is broken, how can you compensate me?" ”
Zhao Jinping blushed and said, "Master, how dare I make my own decisions, it's because I received an order in the morning and had to deliver it in the morning, so I had no choice but to do it myself." ”
Huang Caizhen gently patted Jin Ping's shoulder and said approvingly: "Jin Ping, I don't know you yet, you can take over the business for the master, will the master still blame you, in the future, you just have to practice boldly, even if there is a mistake, it doesn't matter, the loss will be borne by the master." ”
Huang Caizhen carefully checked Zhao Jinping's data again, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so she said to Jin Ping: "This business is all done by you, and the master is only on the side to guide." Ping, you've started to grow up, and the master is very happy. ”
Less than two hours later, the three men reappeared in front of the store. Before the old man entered the door, he began to shout: "Are the clothes ready?" It's been a long time, and you can't break your promises. I have something very important today, my whole family hasn't made new clothes in years, you have to stop bullying the countrymen. ”
Huang Caizhen had already appeared at the door with a smile to greet him: "Uncle, sister, don't worry, we promise to do it for you in the morning, so that you can wear beautiful clothes." ”
The woman in the sky blue shirt said to Huang Caizhen with some embarrassment: "Sister, my dad is usually a little anxious, please forgive me." With that, he lowered his head.
Huang Caizhen brought the three of them into the store, and the little girl who dragged her nose kept hiding behind the woman and refused to come out. Huang Caizhen asked Juanzi to bring a handful of biscuits over and give them to the little girl to eat. The little girl glanced at the woman and didn't dare to reach out to take it, Huang Caizhen bent down and whispered to the little girl: "Child, are you afraid that your mother won't let you eat, don't be afraid, this is given to you by your aunt, and your mother won't blame you." The woman said to the little girl, "Take it, thank you, Auntie." The little girl took it and put the biscuit in her mouth, and it was too late for Aunt Xie to leave.
Huang Caizhen ordered the apprentices to pour boiling water and send it over, and she also sat next to them and talked, not disliking these two countrymen at all. The old man stopped talking at this time.
Huang Caizhen asked the woman with a smile: "Eldest sister, your family is willing to come to the shop today, should there be any major happy event, right?" ”
The woman was embarrassed to be subservient, and looked at the old man who wanted to speak and stopped. At this time, the old man nodded to the woman and said, "I'm anxious to say something bad, I see that this girl is a caring person, so you can just say it." ”
The woman said: "Good sister, our family conditions are poor, he is my father-in-law," she paused for a while and swallowed a sip of water before raising her head and continuing to Huang Caizhen: "She is my niece." ”
Huang Caizhen couldn't believe her guess, she thought that this little girl must be this woman's child, but she didn't expect it to be a niece. Huang Caizhen asked her, "Since you brought your niece here, why didn't you bring your own children?" ”
The woman lowered her eyebrows and whispered sadly, "My child is gone." The voice was so soft that only she could hear it. Huang Caizhen didn't want to ask any more, because she had inadvertently touched someone's sore spot. She stood up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, if you sit a little longer, I'm going to be out of company." Your clothes will be ready in no time, so I'll try them on and I'll make any changes until you're satisfied. ”
Huang Caizhen called Juanzi to the side and whispered something in her ear, and Juanzi smiled and walked out of the store. After a while, Juanzi came back, walked up to the master and nodded gently. Huang Caizhen put down the work in his hand and walked to the old man and said to them: "Uncle, eldest sister, I almost forgot just now, our store has been holding friendship promotions with a store next door in the past few days, and there are several welfare places to give to customers, and today is the last day." You're lucky, and it just so happens that you made it to the last day. Just now my staff went to ask, it's like this, I still have five places here to go to the barber shop next door for free haircuts, I'll give you three, you go next door and spend this place yourself, okay? ”
The woman shook her head with wide eyes and said, "We don't need it, you better leave it to others." ”
Huang Caizhen patiently said to the woman: "Sister, don't worry, this benefit does not require customers to pay a penny, don't you have important things waiting for you to do today, didn't I say you, you see that you are in such a hurry to go out, you didn't even have time to dress up and came to me, you must be afraid of delaying the time and not catching up, and now you are waiting here for a waste of time." I said, you have a happy event today, and we happen to have another event here, and this is all bumped together, isn't it joyful and happy, hurry up, don't waste this place for me, ignore it. ”
The woman was still hesitating, but the uncle had already stood up and said, "Don't shirk it anymore, this is a good intention, let's go, we will really repair the head." ”
Huang Caizhen asked Juanzi to lead the way, and the uncle asked the barbershop if there was such a thing? The guy at the barber shop said, "It's true that there was this interactive event, but it's coming to an end, and it's a blessing that you can catch it at the end." ”
The three of them got a haircut next door, and the old man shaved his beard and looked much more energetic. When he came back, the old man's attitude had changed a lot, and they were always smiling at Huang Caizhen. Huang Caizhen took advantage of this and invited them to eat together in the store at noon. After the three agreed, Huang Caizhen arranged for the apprentices to set up a big red round table. I told Juanzi to go to the restaurant to fry a few hard dishes, including braised large intestines, slices of scallion meat, steamed carp, sauerkraut fish fillets, cucumber scrambled eggs, eggplant with meat foam, and steamed vermicelli with taro. The little girl was so happy that she got up and reached out to grab the meat and eat it, and was slapped on the ass by the old man, baring her teeth and crying in pain. Huang Caizhen coaxed the little girl and said: "Little sister, don't cry, grandpa beats your grandpa and feels uncomfortable, you eat here from your aunt, you can eat whatever you like." She hugged the little girl, and the woman came over and took the little girl and put it beside her, and said to the little girl, "Xiao Dong, have you forgotten what Auntie said?" You can't get up when you eat at the table, you can't grab it with your hands, and you can only eat the dishes in front of you, you know? The little girl nodded obediently. Huang Caizhen said: "Sister, there are not so many rules in my place, as long as the child likes it, she can eat whatever she likes," said as he sandwiched a piece of meat into the little girl's bowl.
After eating, the three of them tried on clothes. The old man's clothes could barely be put in, and the clothes of the woman and her niece were one size smaller, and they couldn't wear them in, which made Zhao Jinping panic. The old man also blamed Zhao Jinping for delaying their time, but he tried his best to restrain himself from having a seizure. The woman was very embarrassed, her clothes were made, but she couldn't put them on, could she not be in a hurry to die?
Huang Caizhen didn't say a word, measured the bodies of the three of them again, and comforted the three of them: "Uncle, sister, don't worry, I'll make a new set for you immediately." The woman said uneasily: "Sister, I don't know if it's too late?" ”
Huang Caizhen said categorically: "It's definitely in time, but we also need to act immediately, otherwise, it's really too late." ”
Huang Caizhen measured the size by herself, and at the same time asked the other apprentices to do it together, let them cut it according to the place drawn by their chalk, and asked Zhao Jinping to immediately go to the edge copying machine to copy the edge. Huang Caizhen took the pieces of cut cloth to the sewing machine by herself, sat down and pedaled the car, and the cloth was instantly dressed under her dexterous hands and feet.
It's been three hours since Huang Caizhen finished the clothes, and she immediately asked the three of them to try them on, and this time the three of them were full of joy when they put them on, and they didn't take them off anymore, saying that they had to hurry up soon, because they were really afraid that it would be too late. Huang Caizhen only took half of their wages, and without saying the reason, she called a rickshaw to send them away.
Sending the three away, Huang Caizhen gathered everyone together for a discussion meeting to analyze the reasons for this failure. Huang Caizhen asked the apprentice to find the reason for himself first. She still looked happy and had a smile on her face. This made Zhao Jinping a little nervous, Zhao Jinping didn't know what she was wrong about, she was meticulous in accordance with the content of the teaching, how could she not wear it. Everyone talked about it, but they didn't find out the real reason.
Huang Caizhen finally found the reason and told everyone that in the future, we must remember that when stakeout, we must consider the width of the few centimeters taken up by the edge. Zhao Jinping blamed herself very much, such a low-level mistake is absolutely not allowed to be made next time. She told her master that the lesson was very profound, and she hoped that the master would remember the loss for herself. Huang Caizhen said: "Pingping, you are still young, the road you need to walk in the future is very far, the master can afford this loss, not to mention that today in the absence of the master you completed your task alone, although there was a little mistake in the middle, but it is also worth congratulating, you have to emancipate your mind, bold action is." How can the master be embarrassed to criticize you again? Zhao Jinping burst into tears when he said this, and the new trend rose.
Huang Caizhen's performance today was seen by all the apprentices. Everyone's reverence for their master has reached a higher level. Zhao Jinping lost sleep again, and Huang Caizhen taught Zhao Jinping a profound lesson in dealing with people today. The image of the master is undoubtedly tall, she admires the wisdom and strategy of the master, she will definitely not be able to think of such a trick, especially in the matter of tricking these three people into getting a haircut, if the master bluntly persuades them to get a haircut, it will definitely hurt the self-esteem of these two people, and this matter will definitely be very embarrassing. The master came up with a way to link the event with the barber shop next door, and easily solved such an embarrassing matter without losing face to the customer, and solved it without revealing a trace.
Sister-in-law Shui Jing has begun to be active in the village again in the past few days, and for her, the growth of girls in the village every year is an intangible wealth for her. Although these fortunes may not end up in her hands, at least Shui Jing's sister-in-law is working hard for it. Some girls scoffed at her enthusiasm, but Shui Jing's sister-in-law disagreed. Sister-in-law Shui Jing has a wide range of eyes and will not keep a little thing in mind. Some girls have begun to embark on the road of free love, avoiding the 'words of matchmaking' and staying away from them; they feel that the existence of the Shui Jing sisters has destroyed the soil of free love and cast a shadow and dust on the sacred love space. But Shui Jing's sister-in-law doesn't think so, although free love has his soil, but 'marriage is a major event, Ming Media is marrying' is a precious wealth left by the ancestors for thousands of years, how can you say that it will be overthrown? Don't those who are introverted, unsociable, and stupid never have to ask for a wife for the rest of their lives? Sister-in-law Shui Jing not only does not feel that she has room and necessity for existence, but also thinks that she has immeasurable merits.
Now she is also beating Zhao Jinping's idea, although a few years ago, she secretly stole Zhao Jinping's boyfriend by stealing beams for pillars and transferring flowers and trees, and successfully replaced Zhao Jinping with her daughter Zhao Chunmei, who felt guilty for a while. But time has passed, and that incident has long since faded away. She also felt that Zhao Jinping had a lot of room for maneuver, that was because Sister-in-law Shui Jing thought that her niece Zhao Jinping had a gentle and casual personality and was not good at words and kind, such girls are generally well-behaved girls, more filial and obedient, and they dare not disobey their parents' instructions. In terms of Zhao Jinping's appearance, cultural level, and treatment of people, he is already standing out in the countryside. Therefore, all things considered, the most difficult thing is that you must first find a good man who is the right man. Sister-in-law Shuijing's 'brand' is loud. Sister-in-law Shui Jing's character is also noble, she doesn't need to smash her own brand. In this regard, she is also cautious, which is also the reason why Sister-in-law Shui Jing has been able to dominate her hometown for decades.
The daughter provided her with a clue: there is a salesman in their unit whose family conditions are not bad, and his parents are both regular workers, although he is still only a contract worker, he is about to become a regular worker, the documents have come down, the forms have been handed in, and he is waiting for the approval of the personnel department.
The mother asked her daughter about the boy's personal situation, saying that family is an aspect, and the main thing is to pay attention to his basic information, such as ideological character, education level, hobbies, family economy, number of brothers and sisters, filial piety and professional skills, etc.
Zhao Chunmei said with a smile: "Mom, if you are a matchmaker, you can be a matchmaker, do you want to ensure that others have the ability to have children, and whether they will give birth to boys to inherit the lineage, you sold me at that time, and I have never heard you put forward so harsh conditions to your son-in-law?" ”
Sister-in-law Shui Jing said: "What do you know, everyone's personality conditions are different, my mother found you such an excellent son-in-law who rides the dragon, why do you still have something to say, you know, he didn't belong to you originally." ”
The daughter laughed and said, "I haven't been sold by you yet, I know that on the one hand you are for your daughter's good, but on the other hand, do you dare not admit that it is not for yourself?" ”
Sister-in-law Shui Jing said angrily: "It is said that my son has no conscience, and my daughters are all intimate little padded jackets, so it seems that my daughter is really an exception, and she is cold." ”
Zhao Chun said with a smile: "People say that my mother has a big belly, why didn't I see it, my daughter laughed at you, and you are still so serious." ”
Sister-in-law Shui Jing turned her anger into joy and said: "How old are you, you don't have a sense of proportion, even your mother dares to play?" ”
Zhao Chunmei said with a smile: "How tired you are, you don't know how to rest and rest when you run around all day, your daughter wants you to be happy, you are still so serious." ”
Next, the daughter told her mother the general situation of the boy. Sister-in-law Shui Jing thought for a while and said, "Let's keep it for backup first, I'm not very satisfied in my heart." The daughter stopped pestering her mother and took her leave and went home.
Sister-in-law Shui Jing always has a notebook in her purse, which thickly records a lot of addresses and names and the birth dates and birthdays of boys and girls, a few of which are from this village, and most of them are from other villages. A lot of ticks or scribbles are places that have already been married, or have not been successfully introduced, and they are powerless to do anything; The names of the boys or girls with a red circle on them must have been useful to her but not yet used. Shui Jing's sister-in-law must have worked hard to collect these objects, and it is easier to collect information in this village, in addition to knowing the roots, the most important thing is that Zhao Shuangxi is in charge of the village's roster and accounts, and the members of the village are in his hands. Sister-in-law Shui Jing needs to retrieve information at her fingertips. As for the information of other villages, although Shui Jingsao has a strong source of information, it is impossible to guarantee that it is 100% accurate, but she has already mastered it quite well.
We must acknowledge Shui Jing's professionalism and her meticulous work attitude. Sister-in-law Shui Jing has not read many books, but her insistence on an open-minded attitude of learning is commendable. In addition to the usual notebooks, papers, pens, etc., she also carries a thick Xinhua dictionary in her purse, which has been 'living' in her purse for decades, and she remembers many words in the dictionary vividly, because she often uses them and ignores them like an old friend. Therefore, as a semi-literate middle-aged woman, it is rare to have such perseverance in learning. Sister-in-law Shui Jing is not an aimless person, and all this dedication has also given her rich rewards. To be honest, if a person like Shui Jingsao, if she grew up in the city and grew up in a family with a cultural background, maybe she would have become a pillar of the country. It's a pity that Sister-in-law Shui Jing is nothing more than a matchmaker who walks the streets and alleys to talk about her relatives and run errands for others. Such a gap is also helpless, not to mention joy and sorrow, a person's fate is closely related to the social living environment, this is an indisputable cruel fact.
Zhao Xiaoting is already a person in his sixties now, but in the past few years, everyone has always said that he has not aged much. I don't know how he can do this, the years have long lost their effect on him, and all other people's speculations are in vain. Xu Ruirong has gradually changed in recent years, and there is a tendency to accelerate aging. Maybe Xu Ruirong is preoccupied and exhausted all day long, which may be a possibility. He is the son-in-law of the Zhao family, although he lives in his parents-in-law's house, and his parents-in-law treat him well, but he can't be happy, his wife Zhao Jinfang has nothing to do with him, and the relationship between husband and wife is nothing. In the past few years, his wife has also begun to grow old and decrepit, and she has long lost her former charm, and she has begun to become honest. Maybe Zhao Jinfang hurt Xu Ruirong too deeply, so that Xu Ruirong was disheartened, and they didn't sleep in the same bed. The son has grown up, and now his attitude towards his mother is getting worse and worse, and the mother's past indiscretions have been instilled in her son's ears through various channels. This is a fatal injury that can never be repaired. Zhao Jinfang has already begun to reap the bitter fruits of the sins she usually sows, and such a causal relationship can be enough to destroy all good things.
Zhao Jinping has been in the Caizhen clothing store for two years, and she is the only Huang Caizhen Gaozu who has not left the clothing store for so long. Huang Chaejin has now stopped recruiting apprentices, so the shop is starting to desert a bit. For Zhao Jinping, Huang Caizhen cherishes and cares for her very much, and she has always hoped that Zhao Jinping will stay in Caizhen's clothing store to be her helper. She now trusts Zhao Jinping's craftsmanship and technical level very much, and she lets her do even the most difficult suit series. Zhao Jinping has not been in a relationship in two years at Caizhen Clothing Store, and is the only girl who has never gone out on a date alone with a boy. Her personality is actually not so introverted, she has not opened her heart to those boys for the past few years, and it is not that no one has hurt her, and the cold words that reach her ears will make her heartbroken, and the scars are slowly being repaired. The boys who pursued her, after not gaining her favor, would in turn speak ill of her, and even maliciously slander her, and have unwarranted suspicions, which are groundless and unfounded, and are the worst behavior that deviates from her original intentions.
In the past two years, Zhao Chunmei has given birth to a daughter, and now she has learned to walk. Zhao Chunmei has not gone to work since she was pregnant, and now she has been away from the factory for a year, her husband treats her well, the husband and wife are very affectionate, and the small family is full of laughter. The husband coaxes his daughter to play when he comes home from work every day, and sometimes he lies on the ground and lets his little daughter ride as a 'horse', the little daughter's mouth is sweet, and a childish and elegant 'Dad' makes Jin Miaogen's heart soften. Hold your baby daughter and have a 'hot kiss'.
Zhao Chunmei occasionally went to the city to go to the Caizhen clothing store to find Zhao Jinping to catch up, and the two got along happily. Zhao Jinping especially likes Zhao Chunmei's youngest daughter, and refuses to return it to Zhao Chunmei every time she holds it in her hand. Every time Zhao Chunmei looked for Zhao Jinping, she would say to Jin Ping half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Jin Ping! Look at you like children so much, why don't you go and find a partner, you see that your sister and children are so old, you should also think about your life's events. At first, Zhao Jinping was reluctant to express anything, but this time Zhao Jinping smiled and said, "Yes! I also want to marry myself as soon as possible, but no one has taken a fancy to me, how can I marry without a patron, who should I find to go to the church to marry? Chunmei said: "Well, it's easy to say, if you really can't find Prince Charming, then you give this task to my mother and keep you satisfied, how about it?" Kim said, "Yes, yes! I can't even ask for it, I am convinced by my aunt's vision, then there is Lao Lao's old man. Chunmei said solemnly: "Jin Ping, my sister is serious when she says this, if you are joking, you can tell me directly, so as not to embarrass everyone at the time." When Jin Ping heard this, she almost bent down with a smile and said, "Sister, I'm telling the truth, I'm not joking." Chunmei said, "In that case, then I will tell my mother to go, and you will wait to be your noble princess." ”
As soon as Zhao Chunping arrived home, she went to her mother early the next day to tell her what Zhao Jinping had said. Sister-in-law Shui Jing said to her daughter, I will wait for her words, since Jin Ping has such an attitude, it will be easy to do, I have already found a good partner for her, today I will find her myself, first squeak with Jin Ping, let the two parties agree on a time to meet first. Chunmei said, do you want to say hello to her parents first, after all, we can't ignore her parents' opinions. Sister-in-law Shui Jing said to her daughter, I can't talk to Jin Ping's parents about this matter for the time being, you think, in case Jin Ping's parents know in advance that I am looking for a partner for her, it would be good if they have no opinion, if they don't want me to do this, find an excuse to mess up this matter, and then want to do ideological work, wouldn't it be very difficult, since Zhao Jinping himself has such a meaning, it also saves us a lot of thought.
Zhao Chunmei felt that her mother's words were reasonable, so she didn't make other suggestions. Sister-in-law Shui Jing was very satisfied with the information provided by her daughter, and began to act on the same day. Sister-in-law Shui Jing went to Huangjing Village to find Huang Fashu's home in the village first, and told the people of the Huang family the basic information that the woman knew. The people of the Huang family happily left Shui Jing's sister-in-law for lunch, and the Huang family cooked many delicacies to entertain her, and called a decent relative who was a cadre in the village to accompany her. Sister-in-law Shui Jing said, things are only the first step, it is still difficult to say whether it will succeed or not, I just came over to leak the bottom of the information first, it is best to let Xiao Huang make an appointment to meet once, if you leave a good impression to be effective. Huang Fashu and his wife said that it was natural, the master introduced the door, and the cultivation was in the individual, and how to develop next could only depend on themselves.
After lunch, Sister-in-law Shui Jing did not stay, she said that she now needed to find the woman to make an appointment, as long as the woman herself agreed, she would immediately ask someone to bring the letter over.
Sister-in-law Shui Jing was dusty, and when she came out of the Huang family, she simply went straight to the county seat Caizhen clothing store.
Sister-in-law Shui Jing came to find Zhao Jinping, which surprised Zhao Jinping a lot, knowing that Zhao Chunmei would take yesterday's incident seriously as a major event as soon as she went back. This is the case, and Jin Ping has to go on with Sister-in-law Shuijing, and she can't deny what happened yesterday just now. Sister-in-law Shui Jing got accurate information from Zhao Jinping, so her confidence doubled, and she secretly rejoiced in her heart, Zhao Jinping's character She still had a very accurate and firm pulse. Sister-in-law Shui Jing also felt very guilty in her early years because she disturbed Zhao Jinping's marriage, and she always wanted to find a good husband for her to atone for herself, but it was not easy to show it in person, but now that she thinks about it, Zhao Jinping has no grudges, and she is still very open-minded; Zhao Jinping still trusts herself. This makes Shui Jing's sister-in-law a little proud, no matter what, Zhao Jinping is still the Zhao Jinping of the past, Shui Jing's sister-in-law feels that she still needs to be very attentive to the marriage of Zhao Jinping's niece, and only by finding a quite satisfactory family for Zhao Jinping can she be worthy of Zhao Jinping herself.
Zhao Jinping is not young anymore, so it is not impossible to talk about marriage. Therefore, I understood the arrival of my aunt today. She has nothing to shirk and hide. Jin Ping said to Sister-in-law Shui Jing: "My good aunt, I didn't expect you to be so concerned about your niece's marriage, more concerned than my parents, I have to thank you first." The family you just talked about sounds pretty good. She thought for a while and said to Sister-in-law Shuijing: "That's it, auntie, I can only ask the master for leave this Sunday, I agree to meet with the boys of the Huang family first, and I don't want to agree to other things at once." Besides, if both parties are satisfied, it is better to inform my parents first, although the initiative lies with me, but it is not easy for my parents to raise me so old, and some things should at least let my parents know, right? ”
Sister-in-law Shui Jing said, this is natural, parents will have to pass this hurdle sooner or later, but now that you agree to meet the Huang family boy, I still think it's better not to tell your parents first. Auntie is very happy today, and Auntie will arrange a specific place so that you can meet happily. Once you are personally satisfied, the rest will be easy, and it will not be too late to talk to your parents at that time. The good news for you and your aunt is that Sister-in-law Shui Jing left satisfied. Huang Caizhen came over and asked Zhao Jinping, what did your aunt come to talk about just now, so happy? Zhao Jinping didn't want the master to know about it too early, so she said that it was a private matter at home, so Huang Caizhen didn't want to ask too much, but she still had some doubts in her heart. Since Zhao Jinping doesn't even want to tell the master, it is estimated that it is a matter of men and women, and the master is the most intimate, and he can't do anything about such things.
Zhao Jinping was actually disgusted by Shui Jing's sister-in-law coming to her today, but out of basic politeness, Zhao Jinping said something against her mind to Shui Jing's sister-in-law, but Shui Jing's sister-in-law took it seriously. One day later, Shui Jing's sister-in-law came over and told Zhao Jinping the address of the date, out of consideration for Zhao Jinping, Shui Jing's sister-in-law did the work of the Huang family, and arranged the date address in a tea house very close to Caizhen's clothing store in the county. The children of the Huang family went to book a box in advance. That afternoon, Zhao Chunmei and her mother came to the county early in the morning, and they first asked Zhao Jinping to have dinner. Zhao Jinping readily agreed, because Zhao Jinping asked the master for a day off in advance, Zhao Jinping also walked several streets with Zhao Chunmei's mother and daughter, Zhao Chunmei took Zhao Jinping to buy a set of fashion in a boutique fashion store, after dressing up, Zhao Jinping was even more presentable, Zhao Chunmei's mother and daughter praised her for being a big beauty. Zhao Jinping is also very satisfied with wearing such a good fashion today. The boy of the Huang family actually came to the county seat early, and under the secret guidance of Zhao Chunmei's mother and daughter, he saw Zhao Jinping from a distance while standing opposite the Caizhen clothing store. It's just that the boy of the Huang family is short-sighted, and although he wears glasses, he only looks at the outline, and he doesn't dare to look too close. Therefore, he still has a vague impression of Zhao Jinping, but Zhao Jinping's body outline is still satisfactory to him.
After Sister-in-law Shui Jing introduced the Huang family boy to Zhao Jinping, she and Zhao Chunmei walked out of the tearoom and wandered around the street. Zhao Chunmei didn't settle down in her heart, and asked her mother vigorously: "I said Mom, guess what is the probability of their success, why is my heart always hanging and can't fall?" ”
Sister-in-law Shui Jing looked at her daughter's anxiety, and said angrily: "What are you excited about, it's not your blind date, I don't know if it's successful or not, it depends on how the boy surnamed Huang behaves on the spot, if he behaves like you now, then, Bacheng will be cool." ”
Zhao Chunmei said to her mother: "Since the child of the Huang family is so incapable, you still introduced Jin Ping to him, can you not harm my sister?" Sister-in-law Shui Jing saw that her daughter was anxious, so she wanted to tease her even more, so she hurriedly said: "Jin Ping is not your own sister, it doesn't matter to you whether she marries well or not, and it is not easy for your mother to be a matchmaker, how can there be foolproof every time, besides, only if Jin Ping marries worse than you, you can have a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in your heart, do you still hope that Jin Ping surpasses you to be happy?" ”
Chunmei said: "Mom, you are too selfish, I am not a debtor, you must find an impeccable and perfect gentleman for Jin Ping, but at least it must be satisfactory, you can't just care about collecting money for yourself." ”
Sister-in-law Shui Jing was a little angry: "Chunmei, you are not allowed to say this about your mother, your mother is also principled as a matchmaker, your mother does not just look at money when she collects referral fees, your mother's signboard is created by your mother with sincerity and hard work for decades, don't believe it, you can try it for a year like your mother?" ”
Chunmei said stiffly: "That was before, and now there will be no market in this industry soon, and it is not uncommon for you to let me take over your class, and it is not uncommon to kill me." ”
Sister-in-law Shui Jing was angry: "What do you know, such a market will only become more and more prosperous in the future, believe it or not, your mother is still going to open a special marriage agency in the county?" ”
Chunmei didn't seem to be talking casually when she saw her mother. Immediately said vigilantly: "Mom, you are also an elderly person, it's okay to make a little trouble in the countryside, if you really have this kind of idea, my daughter will not support it, and I'm sure my father will not agree." ”
Sister-in-law Shui Jing said: "What do I want to do, do I still need you to pass here, it's funny, your father is the same, she has no right to interfere." ”
Zhao Chunmei saw that her mother was getting more and more excited, and quickly accepted it: "I don't want you to discuss this matter, my child has been entrusted to my mother-in-law for a whole day, I have to go back early." Now, our mother and daughter have a good time to go shopping on the street again, maybe there will be few such opportunities in the future. Sister-in-law Shui Jing heard that her daughter was borrowing a donkey from the slope, and quickly changed the topic and said: "Yes, daughter, it's not easy to go shopping in the county at night, our mother and daughter are happy to go shopping, and they don't come here to quarrel, so let's go to more places." ”
Here, Zhao Jinping and the boy from the Huang family are sitting in the tea box. Just now, the two introduced themselves to each other, Zhao Jinping only knew that the shy boy in front of him was called Huang Zhixiong, twenty-four years old, with a high school degree, and now he is learning mechanical and electrical maintenance technology in the town. The third in the family, one sister and one brother, the elder sister married the elder brother married the sister-in-law, the father was a pig killer, and the mother opened a restaurant in the town. Huang Zhixiong's initial impression of Zhao Jinping was just a tall and thin boy, wearing myopic glasses, his skin was not white, but he was not so dark and decent. Wearing a yellow jacket on the upper body is a bit nondescript in Zhao Jinping's opinion, at least in Zhao Jinping's eyes, such a clothing match is not proportionate; It's better to wear an ordinary black suit to be honest, but Zhao Jinping won't make irresponsible remarks here, let alone make fun of Huang Zhixiong. After Huang Zhixiong introduced himself, he had nothing to say, in order not to be too rigid and cold, Zhao Jinping only introduced his simple situation, only informed his name, and even his family members did not say how old he was. However, Zhao Jinping thought that her family members didn't need to be introduced by herself, and Sister-in-law Shui Jing should have already introduced them to the other party. Although Huang Zhixiong is twenty-four years old, he has no experience in love, and he has never had a favorite girl in his heart. In this way, in fact, it is half a catty to eight taels with Zhao Jinping. Zhao Jinping felt funny in her heart, it was a bit incredible for a big boy to never touch a girl's hand when he was so big. But isn't Zhao Jinping herself a serious girl, and doesn't she have no experience and experience in this area?
The two of them drank the tea in the cup like this for a long time, Zhao Jinping didn't know what it tasted like, she had forgotten whether she wanted black tea or green tea, anyway, the tea in the cup had no taste at all. Zhao Jinping thought, I am a girl, and it is impossible to be too active when I contact Huang Zhixiong for the first time, which will give people the impression of 'floating'. Girls should be reserved, and can't let boys see that they are taking the initiative, as if they are so impatient for this contact meeting.
Huang Zhixiong just didn't think like this, he felt that when he met a girl for the first time, he should leave more time for the girl to talk more, so as to show the magnanimity of the boy.
Huang Zhixiong had already drunk the fifth cup of tea, his stomach began to bulge, he didn't dare to stare at Zhao Jinping too much, he felt that it was very rude to stare at others like this, he had to be generous and not messy. But the girl in front of her is so beautiful that she has to observe it carefully no matter what. He was too impressed with Zhao Jinping, Miss Zhao's voice was so good, although she couldn't stare at her for a long time, but the beauty was close at hand, and she couldn't say it if she didn't observe it carefully. Zhao Jinping is dressed very fashionably, she is wearing the fashion she just bought today, there is no trace of the clothes, this is because she looks very confident and noble, plus she has a fair complexion, a straight nose, long eyelashes, eyes like two horizontal grapes, the whites of the eyes are few, the eyes are big, and the face has at least a light makeup, her hair is draped over her shoulders, her ears are small, her teeth are neat and white, she wears a pair of black medium and high heels, the color of the pants is difficult to figure out for a while, and it is night, so let her be unpredictable. He drank too much tea for a while, and if he endured it like this, he would be foreign. He said to Zhao Jinping embarrassedly: "Miss Zhao, I have to go to the bathroom, you can sit for a while." Zhao Jinping nodded and said, "Go ahead, it's nothing." ”
Huang Zhixiong started immediately as if he had received a pardon order, and this anxious action was felt by Zhao Jinping, and Huang Zhixiong was very embarrassed. Fortunately, Zhao Jinping didn't care, and pretended to bow her head and drink tea. Huang Zhixiong came back soon, his hands wet and he was wiping his clothes, and Zhao Jinping handed over a tissue. Huang Zhixiong took it and thanked him, but before Huang Zhixiong was seated, he said to Zhao Jinping: "Miss Zhao, let's go out and eat something else, we can't just drink tea." ”
Zhao Jinping smiled and said: "We just ate outside, and we can still eat there, so let's do it, Xiao Huang, let's stop drinking tea, settle the account, if you have something, let's talk here first in the evening, okay?" ”
Huang Zhixiong was stunned, and immediately came back to his senses and said, "I'm fine, Miss Zhao has anything else?" Zhao Jinping nodded, felt that it was inappropriate, and shook her head again.
Huang Zhixiong said: "It's still early, Miss Zhao, let's go out for a walk, shall we?" ”
Zhao Jinping said, okay, but, Xiaohuang, where are we going?
Huang Zhixiong said: "Miss Zhao, I am a little unfamiliar with the county seat, should I listen to Miss Zhao's instructions?" Zhao Jinping said: "Although I have been in the city for several years, I rarely go out to visit, so how about we walk around casually and not seek a purpose?" Huang Zhixiong said: "Okay, I also have this idea." ”
Huang Zhixiong finished settling the account, and Zhao Jinping stood at the door waiting for him. Zhixiong came out, and Zhao Chunmei's mother and daughter came back from shopping opposite, so they went out for a walk together. Zhao Chunmei deliberately pulled the corner of her mother's clothes and took a step back and said, "It seems that these two people are still a little interesting." Sister-in-law Shui Jing glanced at her daughter and said, "As far as you can see, your mother has long estimated that it can be done." ”
Zhao Jinping slowed down and waited for the mother and daughter. Sister-in-law Shui Jing said: "Pingping, you just have to walk by yourself, just now I walked too much with your sister, and the soles of my feet were blistered, I'm afraid I can't walk, just follow you." ”
Zhao Jinping said: "Since you can't walk, then we should wait for you." Just stand and wait for them, and the mother and daughter had to hurry up and keep up.
Although Huang Zhixiong drank tea with Zhao Jinping in the middle of the night, compared to these three people, he is still the most familiar with Shui Jing's sister-in-law, and he needs to take care of this benefactor, and Miss Zhao also said that she would wait for their mother and daughter, so she also turned around and said: "Auntie, can you still walk, if you can't walk, let's go sit somewhere else and eat something?" ”
Sister-in-law Shui Jing waved her hand and said: "Young man, don't care about me as an old woman, you can play as much as you like, if you only care about me as an old woman, and squeeze the time you have won so hard, my old woman will be guilty." ”
Zhao Jinping held Shui Jing's arm and said, "Auntie's body is important, what we have is opportunity and time." ”
