A young man in his twenties wearing youth clothing stood blankly on the pedestrian street.
He bowed slightly and looked around, as if he was looking for something.
Today is the day when Yan Jiecheng will meet his blind date. He has been worried about everything going smoothly for several days, but now he is finally relieved.
The third uncle has been a little abnormal these past two days, but after all, nothing happened and everything went smoothly.
Yi Chuanzong couldn't do anything about what happened next, it was entirely up to him.
But thinking about today's task, he felt very nervous.
The blind date really happens on the first day of the new year. I have been thinking about it for so many days and I am going to meet someone today.
There is no mobile phone, so there is no way to contact him. He relies on matchmakers to send messages, but he can't let people go there in vain. Of course, Yan Jiecheng is not willing to do things that cost money. Besides, he has never seen anyone, so he has nothing to say.
I have been planning for so many days, worrying for so many days, and looking forward to so many days.
To be honest, Yan Jiecheng only has one request for Yu Li, as long as she is not ugly. He has overcome all the problems!
The mental process is very complicated. Similarly, there is an even more difficult decision to make, that is, how much will this date cost?
Originally, he planned to spend just one dollar, but thinking about the fact that he had just invited his family to have a meal a few days ago, the third aunt cheated him out of five dollars.
That’s a month’s pocket money!
This kind of expense has seriously exceeded his budget, so he wanted to save a little on this date.
Anyway, there is nothing wrong with saving, but spending lavishly is the problem.
If it were the kind of woman who disliked poverty and loved wealth, he would definitely not want her. Just thinking about the scene of this woman constantly spending money later, he couldn't help it.
The moment he turned his head, Yan Jiecheng's childish eyes suddenly shrank and he saw the matchmaker, and there was a shadowy and graceful figure beside him. He was a little timid and lowered his head, but his eyes kept looking over there.
In the distance, in the direction of the pedestrian street, two women were walking this way.
One of them was Aunt Zhang, the matchmaker who proposed marriage to Yan Jiecheng.
This aunt is not as strong as most aunts. On the contrary, she is slightly thinner. She looks very dignified, and her smile is very gentle and friendly, which makes people feel good for her unconsciously.
The other one was a beautiful girl with delicate features, a round face, and big eyes. She walked in small steps, looking exactly like a bird.
Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but grin and giggle. Aunt Zhang was right. This girl was indeed pretty, very good-looking, and tall and plump.
"Unsolved!"
With a gentle call, Aunt Zhang pulled Yu Li over with a smile on her face, "Finally I found you, yes, you are dressed energetically today!" As she said this, she pulled Yu Li forward and said,
"This is Yu Li. Is she pretty enough? We can't find many such exquisite people in Nanluogu Lane. You are very lucky this time."
Aunt Zhang looked at both of them looking a little shy, and she said ambiguously: "Come on, you guys come and say hello first."
Yan Jiecheng nodded and bowed in greeting, "Hello." After saying these two words, his eyes were a little dodgey, and his expression was both wanting to laugh and pretending to be serious, which looked a little weird.
Yu Li also whispered softly: "Hello."
The smile on Aunt Zhang's face became even more ambiguous, "Okay, now that we have met, you can have a good chat, and I, an old woman, won't be here to disturb your date." Then, she said with concern, "I made an appointment before.
A good place is waiting for you, don't worry, just stay a little longer, I happen to have something to do here, see you at noon."
After the matchmaker left, the two people on the blind date were both at a loss and also very nervous inside.
At this time, Yan Jiecheng was no longer as smart as usual, and Yu Li was no longer as shrewd and capable as she was in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Just standing there in a daze, thinking wildly, the two of them were secretly sizing up each other.
This is okay, blind dates are generally like this nowadays. The stricter the defense between men and women and the less ambiguity, the more violent the hormones that have been suppressed for a long time will explode.
Nowadays, a possible future wife and husband are standing in front of her, and her subconscious mind has already acquiesced to the other person's identity. If she has such thoughts at this time, this person will become very reserved and shy.
People who can cope with it easily are not only outgoing, but more importantly, they have a strong ability to withstand stress and adjust their mentality on the fly.
Yan Jiecheng is in this state now. His mind is in a mess. He basically has all kinds of ideas, but he just doesn't know what to say, or whether it's good to say it out.
Yu Li was a little nervous at first, but when she thought about the situation in the other party's family and her sister's disdainful look, when she looked at Yan Jiecheng again, she suddenly felt an 'ordinary' feeling in her heart.
This greatly weakened the nervous feeling in her heart, and her whole mood became much more stable. She was a little angry at her sister.
Yu Li smiled generously and said, "Shall we go for a walk?"
Hearing her speak, Yan Jiecheng became even more nervous and kept saying: "Okay, okay, okay!" At this time, he also thought of what the third aunt had told him before leaving, and he said again, "Let's go to the pedestrian street for a walk.
Bar?"
Yu Li nodded gently and responded, her eyes roaming Yan Jiecheng's body.
Strictly speaking, Yan Jiecheng is still a bit handsome at this time. He has a black 37-cent hair with a shiny look, and he wears black leather shoes in youth clothes. He looks very formal. He is relatively tall, and the youth clothes are fully supported.
When I get up, I feel a bit strong.
There is just one flaw, why do I always feel like this person is a bit hunchbacked?
Coupled with the appearance of constantly dodging quickly, it gives people a sly look.
This kind of sense is not very good. Yu Li, who calmed down first, changed her eyes slightly, and her eyes became a bit sharper and unconvinced.
As a matchmaker, Aunt Zhang naturally praised Yan Jiecheng loudly, saying all kinds of things that were both exaggerated and well-founded.
The first impression has already been made. Now the two people will not discover each other's shortcomings when they meet for the first time. By the time they discover those shortcomings, they will be an old couple.
Even if you find out a little later, when you find out that the other person is not that good, you have already developed feelings. At this time, it doesn’t matter how capable or strong the person is. Anyway, he is not much worse than others. This is fine, and I can accept it in my heart.
Yes.
People all have a bit of a critical mind. If you really look strictly at a stranger who stirs up trouble, then even a good person can find a dark spot.
Now, Yu Li's way of looking at Yan Jiecheng has changed a lot. The special label on Yan Jiecheng before has disappeared, and it seems that he is as 'ordinary' as her sister said.
Yu Li walked forward with complicated thoughts. The two of them walked very slowly, but they had enough time to consider some issues.
Thinking of her current conditions, Yu Li sighed in her heart. There are many beautiful girls, and they all look fresh and fresh when they are young. This is the feeling of looking at each other between the same sex.
Just like a man looking at a man, even if he looks more handsome or stronger, he will just say "oh" and not pay much attention.
Women don’t feel anything particularly good about women.
At least Yu Li doesn't have that kind of crazy self-confidence, thinking how beautiful and outstanding you are. This is not advocated now. The color of the clothes is very monotonous and there are few jewelry. She dresses very conservatively, not so glamorous, and even uses nudity.
To seduce people.
Then, she is just an ordinary temporary worker, and Yan Jiecheng is better than her.
Yu Li looked at Yan Jiecheng carefully, and finally her eyes rested on his neck, which was stretched forward. She asked tentatively: "Isn't it tiring to work in the factory?"
Yan Jiecheng almost trembled. He had a lot of ideas here, but he didn't have many ideas when he opened his mouth because he really didn't know what to say.
He reached out and scratched his hair, laughing to cover up his embarrassment, and said: "It's okay. Now that I have become a regular worker, I only need to complete the production tasks for the day. It's not too tiring. Compared with before,
You can do anything as an apprentice, but it's much better."
Yu Li saw that he straightened up without any hunchback, and felt a little relieved, but it was only once he had calmed down. From the front, it seemed that this man had no illness and was still in good health, but there was something wrong with his habits.
This problem is very serious!
Nowadays, men hold their chests high and their heads held high, and even those men walking around with their heads held high.
Even the person walking in this square step has his head held high, which looks like he is lazy, but his head must be held high.
Who are the people who are accustomed to stretching their heads and hunching their backs?
Servants, villains, traitors, etc., none of them are good.
Yu Li asked softly: "Is it difficult to work in the factory? I heard from my sister, oh, my sister is Yu Haitang, the broadcaster in your factory. She said that it is very difficult to be promoted in this factory, and there is a quota for promotion.
It’s limited, even if you pass the assessment, as long as you’re not particularly skilled, you won’t be promoted.”
Yan Jiecheng was startled. Of course, the work is difficult. Apprentices can become full-time workers directly if they reach the third-level level. But this is very, very, very difficult. In other words, almost everyone who becomes a full-time worker is at most a second-level worker, and basically a first-level worker.
Level 2 workers are rare.
Because of the famine in the previous three years, there are many people who have been second-level workers for ten years. It is very difficult to improve their skills based on years.
Moreover, compared with previous years, there are fewer promotion places every year. If this technology cannot be improved, it will be difficult to guarantee promotion.
It's hard to do, and it's even harder to get promoted, but you can't tell Yu Li this kind of thing, otherwise it won't make him feel frustrated.
Yan Jiecheng held his head high and said: "The work in the factory is indeed difficult. It requires effort and brainpower. However, it is not difficult for those who do not know how to do it. Not only do formal workers need to be promoted, but this time there are still less than half of them.
The apprentice workers have not been regularized.”
The implication is that he can be promoted normally, and even if he is a relatively good person, he can still handle the subsequent work.
Yan Jiecheng didn't lie. Although he liked to cheat and play, he was at least stable enough. He would only be lazy if he knew how to do it. He was not lazy, just doing something easy. His skills could be considered above average.
Yu Li nodded slightly in agreement, then she thought about it and said: "I heard from Haitang that the skills in the factory are all taught by masters. The Yi Chuanzong in your yard is quite powerful. If you can ask him how he does it,
Yes, it should be able to improve faster, right?"
"Ah? Pass on... pass on the clan?" Yan Jiecheng stuttered for a moment, mainly due to his guilty conscience. He stabbed someone in the back. He is a master who knows how to take revenge. This is a big deal!
Yu Li looked over, observed the expression on Yan Jiecheng's face, and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with him? Isn't he from your courtyard? I heard that he often drinks with the third uncle of your courtyard. That's not your father."
?”
Yan Jiecheng rolled his eyes and said, "Ah, yes, of course."
"However, improving skills is not that simple. It doesn't just require a master to teach you. It still depends on the individual's ability. The jobs are all those. The more you do them, the more you will know."
Of course Yan Jiecheng would not want to learn anything from Yi Chuanzong. Wouldn't that make him look stupider than others? He is also a person who cares about face. He didn't want to before, but now he doesn't dare.
He said directly: "Besides, it's not easy to ask him for help. He is a very strange person. He doesn't get along well with the young people in our yard. On the contrary, he has a better relationship with the older generation."
"He is a bit stingy and has a weird temper. If he does something wrong, it will backfire on him. He will come back to take revenge after the incident. Since you know him, you should know that he has some connections in the factory. Usually young people like us are
It would save you trouble if you don't talk to him."
"oh."
Yu Li responded softly and stopped talking. Although these words were not bad words, they were not much better. At the very least, Yan Jiecheng's relationship with Yi Chuanzong was not good.
Thinking of this, her eyes became a little complicated. The family wanted to have a casual relationship with this person, but they could only rely on the unreliable sister. As a result, the relationship between this person and the family was not good.
Everyone has his own character and his own temper.
It's just that a capable person has the right to lose his temper, and more people will see his temper and remember his temper, and everything will look weird.
The older you get, the more things you see, or because of your career, your mind becomes broader, at least tolerant of others.
The older generation can see this person's ability, understand the difficulties of life, and understand the importance of relationships. Of course, they will not offend others, but will build relationships with them. If they are old enough and tolerant, they can also make good friends with these capable people.
Girls mature precociously, both physically and psychologically. Especially after they go to school, their thoughts become more mature.
Even because of their physical weakness and nature, most of them are weak, and they know how to rely on the strong. They are not as stubborn as boys, who are either unconvinced or want to save face. They are more stubborn and rough in communication with others.
