Chapter 1,316 A perfect start, a blind date in Pinellia
1990, early July.
Marina.
Su Mingzhe walked out of the steel rolling mill, pushing his second-hand bicycle and walking slowly forward.
"This time, my identity and background are quite good. I was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage. After graduating from junior high school, I was assigned to work in a factory. Because I have been working in a dull manner, I have almost no human contact except my master at work."
"It can be said that except for the lack of money, everything is perfect!"
Su Mingzhe bought a portion of fried noodles from a roadside food stall. After a few mouthfuls, Su Mingzhe swallowed the fried noodles into his stomach. He barely filled his stomach and was ready to find out where he could get money quickly.
Suddenly, a chubby aunt walked towards the snack stall:
"Xiao Su, it's time to get off work——"
"Aunt Jiang, what's wrong with you?"
Su Mingzhe looked at the neighborhood committee aunt walking straight towards him, immediately wiped her mouth, stood up and said hello.
"You kid is so forgetful. Didn't I say last time that I wanted to introduce you to someone?"
Aunt Jiang is not young anymore, she is over 60 years old, and she is still very active in the neighborhood committee. On weekdays, she likes to work as a matchmaker for young people.
Aunt Jiang also helped the original person introduce several partners.
According to the principle of being well-matched, I was an orphan and had no house, so I was not popular in the marriage market.
The girls introduced by Aunt Jiang were either fat or short, and I didn't like any of them.
Regarding this matter, Su Mingzhe was not angry with Aunt Jiang after inheriting the memory of his original body.
After all, the original person is an orphan. Although he has a job, his salary is very low and he does not have a house. At this time, if there is a woman willing to marry the original person, the original person should be happy. How can he be picky?
However, Su Mingzhe naturally despises a woman that he himself despises even more.
Therefore, seeing that Aunt Jiang was about to introduce someone to herself at this moment, Su Mingzhe quickly said:
"Auntie, I told you, I can just look for this person myself, so I don't need to trouble you!"
"You kid are talking silly again. How long have you been single? Among the young people your age in our street, who doesn't have a partner or is married?"
No wonder Aunt Jiang is so enthusiastic. As the aunt of the neighborhood committee, she is also responsible for maintaining public order on the street.
The biggest source of problems with street security is caused by young people who have nothing to do.
Therefore, single young people like Su Mingzhe are the key targets of street assistance.
After a few criticisms, Aunt Jiang said with a smile:
"Xiao Su, let me tell you, the person that Auntie is introducing to you this time, according to your request last time, not only has to have good looks, but also has to have a good figure. If my family doesn't have a suitable child, it must be It’s not your turn!”
When Su Mingzhe heard this, he immediately became interested:
"Auntie, this good girl, if you introduce her to me, will her family agree?"
When Aunt Jiang saw that Su Mingzhe had questions, she didn't hide it and said directly:
"When this girl was born, her mother died in childbirth. Later, her father married a new wife... Well, this girl also had a hard life. After graduating from high school, she worked at our scrap collection station. Her father was very interested in finding a partner. In this matter, I only care about one thing - the bride price!"
"How much is the bride price?"
"Six thousand!"
When Su Mingzhe heard this, he rolled his eyes.
I came to work in the steel rolling mill after graduating from junior high school. From the initial apprenticeship to the current third-level worker, I worked hard for six years and saved more than 5,000 yuan.
Now the woman's biological father asks for a bride price of 6,000 yuan as soon as he asks for it. This is obviously to find out his details!
If it were the original person, when he heard the six thousand yuan gift, he would definitely refuse it.
After all, the standard for local betrothal gifts is one thousand to five thousand.
Six thousand yuan, that’s price gouging.
However, Su Mingzhe suddenly became interested.
After all, this girl's father dared to ask for a bride price of 6,000 yuan, which must be because he was confident in his daughter's appearance.
Thinking of this, Su Mingzhe smiled softly and said:
"Auntie, if this girl is as good as you said, six thousand is six thousand. However, I have to see this girl first to make sure she doesn't have any other problems!"
"You kid, you still can't trust your aunt? Can aunt introduce you to someone who is missing an arm or a leg? It's still early, and the girl probably hasn't gotten off work yet. Aunt will take you to see her now..."
Although Aunt Jiang was angry that Su Mingzhe didn't trust her, she also knew that the girl she introduced before was indeed not very good.
Now that he has finally introduced a good one, it is understandable that Su Mingzhe does not dare to trust himself.
As Aunt Jiang said, she led the way and introduced the girl's detailed information to Su Mingzhe as she walked:
"This girl's surname is Xu, and her name is nice, Banxia..."
"Panellinium ternata? It's also called 'scorpion grass'. If you take it by mistake, your life will be in danger... The father gave his daughter such a name. It seems he has a lot of complaints about her."
As Su Mingzhe said this, the appearance of a round-faced girl appeared in his mind:
"Xu Banxia, Binhai City, the time is right... It seems that this plane is "Wind Blowing Pinellia"!"
The two of them walked slowly, and soon they arrived in front of a scrap recycling station.
Although it is getting late, the recycling station has not closed yet, and two young people, a man and a woman, are sorting the waste.
The guard dog barked, alerting the two of them.
The woman turned around, revealing a dusty baby face.
To be honest, Xu Banxia, who is busy at the scrap collection station all day long, is far from exquisite and beautiful.
However, Xu Banxia does have a slim figure, especially her big eyes and small cherry mouth. When she smiles, her eyes are crooked, revealing two small dimples. Although she does not have the sweetness of a girl, she still has a vigorous and heroic appearance.
When Xu Banxia saw Aunt Jiang coming with a handsome young man, she immediately understood the purpose of her visit. She felt distressed, but she had to squeeze out a smile and said hello:
"Aunt Jiang, are you here to guide the work again?"
Scrap collection stations have always been the focus of street offices and police stations.
As one of the owners of the purchasing station, Xu Banxia was often summoned by the subdistrict office and the police station. She was a little afraid of seeing people from the subdistrict office coming.
Aunt Jiang also knows that she is not popular here, but she still has to do what needs to be done:
"Banxia, Auntie is here to be a matchmaker for you, Xiaosu, come and see, this is Xu Banxia, Auntie didn't lie to you, right..."
Following a brief introduction.
Su Mingzhe and Xu Banxia, who was only twenty years old, were considered acquaintances.
If the little man with big ears next to him looked at me without bitterness or hatred, the scene would be more harmonious.
"Okay, now that you know each other, Auntie won't bother you here anymore."
Seeing that Su Mingzhe was almost fixated on the girl, Aunt Jiang quickly pulled her and whispered:
"Xiao Su, this girl Banxia is really hard-working. You young people, please get in touch with her slowly first. If you feel you can..."
Su Mingzhe nodded quickly and said with a smile:
"Auntie, don't worry, I am quite satisfied with Banxia. The six thousand yuan gift is not a problem. Now it depends on what Banxia wants."
"Banxia..."
Aunt Jiang thought of Xu Banxia's temper and knew that this matchmaker was not easy to deal with. However, if she dared to take over this matter, there would definitely be a way:
"Xiao Su, don't worry. Banxia is a little cautious about relationships and slow to warm up, but she is still very enthusiastic towards others. You should contact her first. If she doesn't agree, we'll find her father..."
"Then please don't worry about it, aunt!"
As Su Mingzhe said this, he sent Aunt Jiang away. When he turned around, he saw Xu Banxia and Chen Yuyu continuing to work on sorting waste.
"Ban Xia, let me help you too!"
Seeing that the two ignored him, Su Mingzhe simply stood next to Xu Banxia and began to help tie and pack them.
