As soon as Li Manjun arrived at the door of his house, he found that the door of his courtyard was wide open, and his mother Wang Xiaojuan's carefree voice came from inside.
"We won't talk about anything else, but it is best for the man to have a stable job, so that the couple can live easier in the future, don't you think so, Sister Wu?"
Aunt Wu held hot tea in her hand and nodded with a smile, "Who says it's not the case."
Wang Xiaojuan: "You know my Manjun, she is tall and thin, her face is like mine, and she is not bad looking. Some people in our factory said she was a factory flower."
"Our family, Manjun, hasn't found a job yet, but she has skills. From now on, her father and I can find a tailor shop for her, and it won't be a problem for her to support herself..."
While Wang Xiaojuan was talking, Aunt Wu nodded and kept saying yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Li Manjun, who was eavesdropping outside the door, raised her eyebrows in surprise. She didn't expect her parents to have such a plan.
Opening a tailor shop is really a good idea. In the future, everyone's life will get better and better, and people will become busier and busier. If you add dry cleaning and other businesses, the business will get better.
However, this is for the original person.
For herself, Li Manjun cannot guarantee that she can perfectly inherit the craftsmanship of a tailor.
It would be more appropriate for my mother, Wang Xiaojuan, to open a laundry by herself. Wouldn't it be a good time to be laid off and unemployed?
Li Manjun was thinking about this in confusion, and the two people in the courtyard had already mentioned candidates.
Aunt Wu tentatively took out two photos and handed them to Wang Xiaojuan to see.
"Well, both of them are good-looking, but they may not be as handsome as our Manjun, but as a man, he has a good-looking face but can't be used as a meal, right?"
Li Manjun saw with her own eyes the corner of her mother's mouth twitching fiercely, and she didn't know how the people in those two photos were so "shocked."
Her mother, Wang Xiaojuan, was a pretty girl herself. At the end of the 1960s, the Li family didn't even have a good house. Li Dawei didn't get the attention of his parents at home, and the eldest son was a single man with no one to help him raise money.
But just because her face resembled that of a singer from an art troupe at that time, Wang Xiaojuan asked for nothing and went to get a marriage certificate with him.
This matter is still mentioned by Li Dawei often, and it is the greatest proof of his good looks when he was young.
Li Manjun touched his face, he had a turned-up nose, big eyes and a face with oval seeds, and he did have some capital.
Being too absorbed in her beauty, the courtyard door accidentally clicked and the door panel fell in. Li Manjun stumbled in under Aunt Wu's surprised gaze.
"Ah...Aunt Wu, you're here!" Li Manjun quickly adjusted his embarrassment and greeted Aunt Wu like a normal person.
Two women who were worried about her life were discussing whether appearance was important. Li Manjun actively moved a small bench to join in.
"Let me take a look at the photo." Li Manjun smiled and stretched out his hand.
Wang Xiaojuan looked like she had seen a ghost. She had never seen this old girl be so active in a blind date.
If it had been like this earlier, we would have found it sooner!
Wang Xiaojuan readily handed over the photo, and Li Manjun glanced at it. His saliva got stuck in the middle of swallowing, and he forced himself to swallow it with a lot of force.
"No, I can accept other parts of the face, but I really can't do it with teeth." Li Manjun put the two photos upside down on the table and returned them to Aunt Wu.
"I can feel how buckled and ugly the teeth of these two people are through the photos." Li Manjun didn't have a look of disgust on her face, but her determined gaze made Aunt Wu feel the huge resistance in her heart.
"Oh, what are you afraid of? They have jobs, their parents also have jobs, they are still from the city, and their houses and bicycles are all ready!"
Aunt Wu thought this was some weird reason, and was afraid that the girl she had watched grow up wouldn't know what to choose, so she hurriedly told the other person's family situation.
"Can you bear it when this mouth comes up to kiss yours?" Li Manjun asked back, causing the two middle-aged women in front of him to frown in disgust.
Being kissed on the mouth like this? Or kissing on the mouth?
Back, back, back!
"Sister Wu." Wang Xiaojuan waved her hands wildly, "Next, next!"
Aunt Wu imagined the terrible scene for herself, shook her head, put the photo away, and made up her mind not to introduce anyone to these two people next time.
If the girl's family cannot accept the divorce after they get married, then she is not a sinner!
"Well, this one looks good, but the conditions are not that good. He works in the grain and oil factory in the next town. I have many brothers and sisters at home."
Aunt Wu was honest and told Li Manjun all the advantages and disadvantages. She did not just talk about the advantages and avoid the disadvantages.
Matchmaking is her side job, and it has grown better and better over the years, all because she is honest and doesn't engage in phony things.
Isn't a blind date just about men and women laying out their conditions and requirements, and matching each other? It's the kind of thing that both the fish and the bear want, and she doesn't want to introduce it.
Wang Xiaojuan and Li Manjun looked at the photo together. He was indeed a handsome young man, fair and tender, and very delicate.
"Manjun, this is not bad." Li Manjun had nothing to say for his appearance, which was certified by his own mother.
"Aunt Wu, how many brothers and sisters are there at home?" Li Manjun asked curiously.
Aunt Wu took a sip of tea first, and then stretched out her fist.
Wang Xiaojuan suddenly exploded, "Ten? What kind of family is this? There is a throne in the family!"
Aunt Wu was embarrassed by Wang Xiaojuan's surprise. Li Manjun hurriedly pulled the corner of her mother's clothes to remind her not to go so far.
Aunt Wu then glared at Wang Xiaojuan angrily and said: "If you don't like it, just go to the next one. It's not like I have nothing else. I was worried before that you only looked at the good ones in the city, but now Manjun says you want good ones, and the conditions don't matter."
If so, I have another one here for you to take a look at."
Ten brothers and sisters, Aunt Wu didn't agree. She didn't know what she was thinking just now, so she took this out and showed it to Manjun.
"Here, it's the last one. If it doesn't work, I really have no choice." Aunt Wu took out a yellowed one-inch bareheaded photo, waved away Wang Xiaojuan's outstretched hand, and handed it directly to Li Manjun.
Wang Xiaojuan smiled angrily, "You stingy guy."
Aunt Wu ignored her and said to Li Manjun: "This look is also good. I have seen it with my own eyes. He is a tall, handsome young man. He is an only son. His family just built a new brick house this year. He also has a good job. He is in a chemical factory in the city.
If you work, you can get a house in your workplace within two years, and you can move to the city."
"But my aunt also told you that his father is in poor health and is bedridden all year round. If you choose him, you will have to help take care of the old man."
In fact, Li Manjun doesn't want to get married at all, but if she finds the right person, she doesn't object to giving it a try.
So I was extra rational and was not blinded by the handsome guy in the photo. I calmly asked:
"Did his family borrow money for their new house?"
Aunt Wu glanced at her in surprise, then nodded.
Wang Xiaojuan sighed immediately, and Li Manjun hurriedly poured her a glass of water so that she could stop her mouth and prevent the old sisters from turning against each other.
