"This girl's conditions do sound pretty good," Bai Lu said.
Aunt Xu hurriedly said: "That's not true! I would never introduce Axiang to a family with ordinary conditions. If she doesn't belong to the right family, my trip will be in vain, and I will be disliked by the woman's family."
"That girl's name is Axiang?"
"Yes, the scientific name is Ruan Xiuxiang..."
Speaking of this, Aunt Xu seemed to have thought of something and asked anxiously: "What is your second son's name? I seem to have heard you mention it before, but I didn't catch it clearly. Why is it called Nan?"
"Nanbing, the full name is Sunanbing, south, southeast, northwest, soldiers' soldiers."
"Oh, Nan Bing, is he working in the production team and hasn't come back yet?" Aunt Xu asked.
Su Jianmin shook his head, "No, my second son is a soldier in the army and came back from the Chinese New Year vacation, so his mother and I thought about finding a match for him. If it can happen, of course it would be the best. If it doesn't happen, there is nothing we can do..."
"Ah! So your second son is a soldier? What a great profession! Not only does he have a high social status, but he also has good welfare benefits. I heard that after the conscripts are demobilized, they will be given an iron rice bowl by the organization!"
Feeling that the marriage was almost certain, Aunt Xu became happier the more she talked about it, "Okay, then I will go to Ruan's house and talk to Axiang's parents in the afternoon to see what they think. If I think this matter is feasible, I will come back to you."
"Ah? Are you leaving now?" Bai Lu said in surprise, "You don't wait for my second son to come back, just look at him and then..."
"Originally, I wasn't sure. I wanted to see him before we proposed marriage. Now that I know that your son is a soldier in the army, I feel confident. Haha, it's better to choose the right day than to hit the sun. I'm going to do it now
Rush to Shangtang Village to talk about this."
Jinbao asked curiously: "Is Shangtang Village far away from us?"
"It's not far," Aunt Xu said with a smile, "it only takes half an hour to walk."
Bai Lu didn't know anything about blind dates, so she held Aunt Xu's hand and stopped her from leaving.
"Aunt Xu, after you go and talk about the marriage, if the woman agrees, can you arrange for the two children to meet? Or are there any other procedures and rules? You have to make it clear to us first so that I can prepare
Come down, otherwise I won’t feel at ease.”
Seeing Bai Lu's worried look, Aunt Xu patted her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry! After talking about the marriage, if the woman is satisfied with your son's conditions, she must first compare the birth dates of the two children. If the birth dates are
If we don’t get along, there’s no need to meet.”
"Ah? Calculate the horoscope?" Su Jianmin frowned, "Should we avoid this kind of feudal superstition?"
"Oh! This is not a feudal superstition. People here have to calculate their horoscopes before getting married. If the horoscopes don't match, the marriage will definitely be unhappy. If the horoscopes match, the couple can be stable for a long time."
Bai Lu didn't believe this either, but she felt that since it was a local tradition, it didn't matter.
Jin Bao wondered: "Shouldn't the horoscopes be calculated after two people see each other? Why are the horoscopes calculated before they meet?"
"We'll wait until we see each other and then calculate. If the calculations show that the horoscopes don't match, what should we do? If you don't believe this and insist on getting married, you will inevitably have a knot in your heart. If you just stop seeing each other, it's not a waste of everyone's time to go through so much trouble.
Time?"
"It seems to make sense." Jin Bao thought, no matter what age, blind dates are very troublesome.
After Aunt Xu left, Su Jianmin already regretted a little, "I thought we could meet directly, but I didn't expect that there would be any horoscopes. If I had known it would be so troublesome, I wouldn't have talked to Captain Luo about it yesterday."
Bai Lu smiled and said, "What's the trouble with calculating the horoscopes? You don't have to do it, Aunt Xu will find someone to do it for you."
"Oh, anyway, I feel that blind dates in rural areas are a bit too particular. Unlike in the city... just bring acquaintances into your home for dinner and chat. As long as there are no problems with the families of both parties, it's fine. There are not so many rules."
"That's true, the village is indeed more particular..."
Bai Lu thought for a while and then said: "Maybe the locals are more particular about it, but I think it's good to be a little more particular in this aspect. It shows that everyone attaches great importance to marriage. After all, it only happens once in a lifetime."
After listening to his wife's words, Su Jianmin nodded, "That's right, it's a lifelong event."
Su Xiaosi and Su Xiaowu had already changed into clean clothes. They ran downstairs and asked, "Dad, does the second brother know that you are going to arrange a blind date for him?"
"I don't know yet. I'll tell him when he comes back."
"Will that sister named Axiang come to our house? I really want to see what she looks like." Su Xiaosi said.
"What's the point of wanting to meet? You have to have your second brother want to meet. I'm really afraid that if we have made arrangements on our end, Nan Bing will become stubborn and refuse to meet. Then I really don't know what to do.
Already."
Su Xiaowu said: "Second brother said before that he didn't want to go on a blind date."
Bai Lu was a little worried now, "How should I tell Nan Bing?"
"Let Jinbao do the talking?" Su Xiaosi suggested, "Second brother will definitely not get angry with Jinbao."
Jin Bao felt like he was lying on his back, "Ah? I'll tell you?"
Su Xiaosi said in an exaggerated tone: "Jinbao, you know my second brother's temper. It's better not to be angry. But when he gets angry, his face is scary. Besides, he's so strong now that he might not even be able to see his father."
I can’t even defeat him, but I will still be beaten by him.”
"You brat, what are you talking about?" Su Jianmin shouted angrily, "Even if your second brother is stronger than me now, so what? After all, he is still my son, and I am still his father. How dare he hit me?"
The noisy voices of the father and son in the house were heard outside.
Su Nanbing stuffed the cut grass into the mule shed and walked quickly into the house, "What are you talking about? I heard you quarreling from a long way away. What son is mine? Xiaosi, are you not old enough?
Didn't you make dad angry?"
"I didn't mess with dad..." Unexpectedly, the second brother came back so soon. Su Xiaosi was stunned for a moment, and reached out to pull Jin Bao's sleeve.
The whole room turned from noisy to quiet in an instant. Su Jianmin and Bai Lu stared blankly, not knowing how to speak. In the end, they tacitly agreed that Xiaosi's idea just now was a good one, so they all turned their gazes in Jin Bao's direction.
"What's wrong?" Su Nanbing asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly become silent?"
Seeing his parents blinking at him, Jin Bao sighed helplessly and said, "Second brother, we were actually discussing things about you just now. Don't be angry after hearing this."
"my business?"
Just as Su Nanbing was about to ask him something, the voices of Xie Shuting and Hua Wenli talking came from behind him.
After a while, the two girls also walked into the room. It was strange that the Su family looked at me and I looked at you, looking like they were hesitant to speak, with strange expressions on their faces.
