On a weekend morning, the sun was shining brightly. Qiao Xinwei, who was greedy for bed, was woken up by a disturbing knock on the door. Her mother Xiang Ling's urging voice sounded outside the door: "Xinwei, wake up quickly, your aunt is calling.
, we have to hurry, we can’t be late for our first meeting, get up quickly, do you hear me?”
Qiao Xinwei frowned, opened her eyes and saw the dazzling sunlight outside the window, she responded impatiently, "Oh."
While I was brushing my teeth, my phone suddenly rang, "Hey, I just got up, what's going on?"
"Xinwei, are you having another blind date today?" Yun Qing asked with a smile on the other end of the phone.
"Nonsense, let's get to the point. I'm brushing my teeth."
"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to tell you first. If your blind date doesn't succeed this time, I have someone here who is my husband's younger brother, an orthodox soldier, and tall, rich and handsome. He will definitely be your match."
Qiao Xinwei spat out the mouthwash and asked jokingly: "Does a rich, handsome man still need to go on a blind date? He has already hugged his teenage sister and had fun. And he is also a soldier. It sounds so far away. This is
Another village is someone else’s, not mine.”
"He has just been transferred back from abroad for three months and has been going on blind dates. He is busy at home but unwilling to give in. He is also busy at work and has not found a partner yet. I only found out when I accidentally heard my husband talking on the phone.
Yes, I thought of you the first time, how can I treat you?"
"Okay, great, I even have a spare tire for blind dates." Her mother's urging voice came from outside the door again, and she had to end the call early, "Yunqing, I won't tell you anymore, my mother is calling me
.”
"Well, I wish you a unsuccessful blind date this time, haha."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xinwei's heart was not disturbed at all. The word tall, rich and handsome has become a joke in the past three months. She did not dare to have any expectations for the man she was about to meet, because experience told her that,
More expectation, more disappointment.
Before going out, Xiang Ling hurriedly picked up a small red bag sewn with gold thread from the dining table, "Xinwei, Xinwei, why are you so careless? You even forgot to bring this. I told you to take it."
I brought it with me. I specially went to the master to ask for it. It will bring good luck in marriage. This meeting will definitely make it happen."
"Mom, this is all superstition, do you believe it too?"
"I know it's superstitious, but you can't find anything that satisfies you. I'm worried. I'm asking for it because I have no other choice."
"I'm only twenty-three years old, and there are so many opportunities. Why are you in such a hurry?!" She said this, but she still put the red bag into her bag. "It's okay. If you don't go out, then
late."
"Yes, yes, you can't be late for our first meeting. Let's go quickly."
The mother and daughter went out in a hurry.
The man sitting opposite Qiao Xinwei in the restaurant was her blind date today, introduced by her aunt.
Qiao Xinwei stared blankly at the other person's hair. It was clearly Mediterranean. Did he think that by growing the hair on both sides to cover the middle, others wouldn't be able to tell that he had no hair in the middle of his head? But out of politeness, her eyes only
He only stayed on the other person's head for ten seconds.
"Sister Wang, this is my sister-in-law. This is my sister-in-law's daughter. Her name is Qiao Xinwei. She is only twenty-three years old this year. She has just graduated from college and is working at Yuanda. She may have done it. Look, she is quiet and well-behaved. Look.
Look at this skin, it’s smooth and tender, so I’d call it a good one.” This aunt, who never admitted that Xinwei was her niece, introduced her as if she was selling a new product.
"Sister-in-law, this is Sister Wang and her son Guo Hao." The aunt smiled and her tone was extremely flattering. She emphasized, "Guo Hao is the deputy director of our municipal transportation bureau. He is successful in his career and mature and stable."
Xiang Ling said politely: "Haha, look at Mr. Guo's age... I would like to ask, Mr. Guo is more generous today?"
"Thirty-nine years old."
"Thirty-nine?..." Xiang Ling said euphemistically, "This is a bit bigger than my Xinwei."
"Hey, sister-in-law, this is because you are short-sighted. A man has a lot of money. When he gets older, he can take care of others. Besides, Guo Hao also delayed his marriage for his own career. Otherwise, how could we still get our turn?
.”
Qiao Xinwei silently thought to herself: I'm sorry, I got a big deal. This bald uncle, you are sixteen years older than me, but you have the nerve to come see me? You are definitely not my friend.
Guo Hao did not speak, but his mother spoke first. She was quite proud of her son, "Yes, my son has been sensible since he was a child. He bought a house and a car by his own ability, without relying on his family for a penny.
Now we have everything but a wife. However, we ordinary girls look down on it. Marrying a wife is a lifelong matter, and you must choose carefully. Miss Qiao, it is a good thing for young people to be capable, but it is better for a woman to do well than to marry
Okay, if you get married in the future, are you willing to resign and stay at home to take care of my son wholeheartedly?"
Qiao Xinwei was speechless. It was a bad start today. She unexpectedly met such a pair of excellent mother and son who felt very good about themselves. Xiang Ling patted her daughter's hand under the table. She endured it very hard not to talk back in person, but her tone was not good either.
Where to go, "Sorry Aunt Wang, not to mention that I have just started working and have no financial foundation. Even if I am inactive for the rest of my life, I will not give up my career because of my family."
Her tone made Aunt Wang's face instantly turn from sunny to gloomy, and the subsequent chat became extremely awkward.
After only sitting there for twenty minutes, Aunt Wang took Guo Hao away. This thirty-nine-year-old deputy director of the Transportation Bureau did not say a word from the beginning to the end. He should do whatever the hell he said.
, um, yes, oh, there is no fourth word in the whole scene.
The aunt began to complain, "Xinwei, don't be so picky. Guo Hao has a house, a car and status. You don't have to worry about anything when you get married. With your conditions, why are you picky? Don't think that you are young and a woman's youth is nothing.
After so many years, once you are over twenty-five, others will pick you."
Qiao Xinwei was furious, "Auntie, haven't you noticed that Auntie Wang just says whatever she says? A thirty-nine-year-old man has no opinion at all. No matter how anxious I am to marry, I can't marry a man with a pacifier. He
I have a problem with my thinking, and besides, I’m not in a hurry.”
The aunt was also anxious and her voice became louder, "You are the one with the problem. Guo Hao is called sensible. I know that you just think he is not good-looking. What's the point of looking for a husband just based on his face? You used to be handsome."
, but what’s the result?”
"You..." Qiao Xinwei was trembling with anger, and her mother kept pressing the back of her hand under the table, "Okay, aunt, please stop talking."
"If you continue to be picky like this, the conditions for blind dates will only get worse and worse. You are lucky to be able to find someone with Guo Hao's conditions. If you don't cherish it, I won't even bother to help you find it."
"Thank you, I won't bother you."
"You... Qiao Xinwei, you don't think about scheming against the Jing family. It's okay for your mother to marry my eldest brother. Don't imagine that you can marry Jing Shang."
