"You are talking nonsense again!"
When Old Chen heard "two mothers for two daughters-in-law", he stretched out his hand and pretended to hit his son. Chen Hansheng giggled and was not afraid. In the family, other than Liang Meijuan who would really hit him, Chen Zhaojun was basically just scaring him.
During the meal, Liang Meijuan deliberately did not talk to Chen Zhaojun. Chen Hansheng coughed, then picked up the fresh flowers on the coffee table and shook it, "Mom, quickly look at what Old Chen bought for you, romantic roses."
"Humph."
Empress Dowager Liang snorted and muttered, "After being married for so many years, he has never bought anything, and only drank some coffee with her, and he actually knows how to buy flowers to please a woman."
Chen Zhaojun, "…"
Chen Hansheng, "…"
Chen Hansheng was somewhat speechless. Empress Dowager Liang's arrogance must have been learned from Little Yu 'er.
But for Old Chen, as long as he did not quarrel, he was willing to do anything.
"The pocket money that you give me next month can be reduced by half."
Chen Zhaojun took the initiative to say.
"You still want pocket money next month?"
Liang Meijuan retorted. However, since she started to talk to Chen Zhaojun, it also meant that the "middle-aged couple divorce" incident had ended just like that. Liang Meijuan then turned to instruct Chen Hansheng to seriously accompany Liang Xiaohai on the blind date.
"Although I have a lot of opinions about your big aunt, but Liang Xiaohai is my biological nephew. Among the cousins, you are the only one who went to university. Xiaohai is also very grateful that you are willing to come back and help." Liang Meijuan emphasized again.
"Got it."
Chen Hansheng nodded his head indifferently. He originally liked to be lively, and furthermore, this time, he was representing the man to "support the face", and there was also a faint feeling of pretentiousness.
But Chen Hansheng was also somewhat worried, "Didn't you say that your entire body is not feeling well, do you want me to accompany you to the hospital tomorrow?"
"No need."
Liang Meijuan shook her head and refused, "I don't want to go tomorrow."
"Why?"
Chen Hansheng continued to ask.
Liang Meijuan glanced at Chen Zhaojun and said nothing.
Chen Hansheng was even more confused. He kept pestering Liang Meijuan to go to the kitchen. Finally, she said, "Tomorrow is your father's birthday according to the Gregorian calendar. Although we only celebrate Lunar birthdays here, it's not good to go to the hospital on this day. Don't bring bad luck to your father."
"Yes, mother."
Chen Hansheng nodded. Wasn't it popular to lure a dog home from hundreds of kilometers away and then kill it? Didn't they agree on a divorce? Why was he being fed a mouthful of dog food?
"Since you've done this, don't blame your son for being ungrateful."
Chen Hansheng returned to his bedroom and took out his phone to send a message to Mo Ke. "Auntie Mo, I'll bring my girlfriend to visit your house when I'm free. Will I disturb you?"
"Ding ~" a sound was heard.
Mo Ke replied very quickly.
"Sure, I also like chatting with you young people."
… ….
The next morning, Chen Hansheng was sleeping early when he was woken up by Liang Meijuan's phone ringing.
"Have you woken up yet? Do you still remember the mission from this morning?"
Liang Meijuan knew her son too well, so she specially made a phone call to urge him to wake up.
"Oh, I'm already on my way to grandma's house."
Chen Hansheng didn't dare to say that he had just woken up, otherwise, he would definitely be scolded.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Hansheng opened the curtains. The sunlight outside was very dazzling. Under the shade of a tree, a group of people were sitting and playing cards. From time to time, shouts of "Collect newspapers, cans, and beer bottles" could be heard coming from downstairs. A few children who were wearing short sleeves were chasing each other and playing around.
The summer breeze blew into the room from the window, and the fine hairs on Chen Hansheng's skin seemed to be surging with a layer of heat wave. It was rare for Chen Hansheng to feel relaxed.
"This is the feeling of being in my hometown, the time that money can't buy back."
After Chen Hansheng finished lamenting, he hurriedly found a car repair shop and washed Xia Li's car and waxed it. After that, he went to his grandma's house in the countryside.
… ….
Cousin Xiaohai was the eldest son of Liang Family, and was also the eldest grandson of Liang Family's grandparents. His marriage was a "big event" that everyone in Liang Family paid attention to.
Cousin Xiaohai was older than Chen Hansheng by 2 years, 22 years old, and 23 years old.
In the countryside of Northern Jiangsu, if one didn't go to university, this age was considered as a late marriage. It just so happened that the company that Cousin Xiaohai used to work in Hu City had closed down. Taking advantage of the time when Cousin Xiaohai returned home, Liang Family's aunt hurriedly asked the matchmaker in the village to arrange a blind date for Cousin Xiaohai.
Liang Family's aunt and uncle planned to let Cousin Xiaohai get married on National Day, so that it would be easier for them to arrange for his younger siblings.
The entrance of Liang Family's grandparents' house was filled with people. Other than Liang Family's relatives, there were also some neighbors. They had smiles on their faces as they gathered at the entrance and chatted.
Cousin Xiaohai had a tuft of blonde hair, which was a rather popular hairstyle nowadays. Cousin Xiaohai held a cigarette in his hand and was smoking.
"Aiyo, my grandson is here."
Just when Chen Hansheng got off the car, grandma walked over unsteadily and held onto Chen Hansheng tightly with her hands that were full of calluses.
Chen Hansheng grinned, "Ang, you are back. How is grandma's body?"
"Very good, I can eat and sleep well."
Grandma patted on her grandson's arm, and her eyes were filled with happiness, "You are becoming more and more like your father. Your father is handsome, and your mother is ugly."
"Hahaha …"
Grandma's words made everyone laugh. She was Liang Meijuan's biological mother, and she could say whatever she wanted.
"This is the son of your third brother's wife, right?"
The matchmaker was a middle-aged woman, and she was currently talking to Liang Family's eldest uncle. She walked over and looked at Chen Hansheng from head to toe.
"That's right, he is the son of our third aunt. Third aunt and third uncle are both government officials, and Hansheng is also a university student."
Liang Meijuan's eldest aunt usually didn't get along with Liang Meijuan, but at this moment, she was trying her best to help Chen Hansheng boast, "Hansheng's grades were good when he was young, and after that, he went to university and started his own business. Do you see this car? It was bought by him, and it is even on Sudong Satellite TV."
Actually, Chen Hansheng was only on Jianye TV now, but after he took over the Hu City market, he would probably be able to appear on Sudong Satellite TV.
Chen Hansheng nodded to the matchmaker, took out his own Zhonghua, and also spread it around.
Chen Hansheng's way of spreading the smoke was equivalent to supporting the man's family. Xiaohai's cousin came over and patted Chen Hansheng's shoulder as a greeting.
"Hansheng, do you have a girlfriend?"
The matchmaker glanced at the shiny car, the Zhonghua in Chen Hansheng's hand, and the mobile phone in his trouser pocket. She couldn't help but match Chen Hansheng with a girlfriend in her mind.
Matchmakers in the countryside were more like a profession. They would get a "commission" by introducing people to them. Generally, the more wealthy the family, the higher the commission.
If Chen Hansheng's family could get a girlfriend, it would be at least 1,000 yuan.
"Don't even think about it, Third Aunt Kong."
Liang Meijuan's eldest aunt came over and said, "How dare you have designs on my eldest nephew? He will definitely marry a girl from a big city in the future. How can he appear on that TV station casually? Hansheng now has a net worth of hundreds of thousands."
"Ahem."
Chen Hansheng coughed and corrected, "Hundreds of thousands was last year. It's more than that this year."
"So much."
Third Aunt Kong thought for a while. She really didn't have any resources that could match Chen Hansheng. She could only sigh and arrange Liang Xiaohai's matter first.
"There's no need to say more about the other party's conditions. We are all from the same village. The girl is also an honest girl. She can endure hardships and hardships. Xiaohai, if you like her, quickly decide." Third Aunt Kong said.
Liang Xiaohai nodded. Not long after, the girl's family came.
Chen Hansheng tiptoed to take a look. The girl was in her early twenties. Her face was square, her eyebrows were thick, and her face was rosy. Her facial features couldn't be said to be beautiful, but they were passable.
She was about 1.59 meters tall, which wasn't considered short in the countryside. Her personality was a bit shy, but she could still take the initiative to greet people.
Chen Hansheng remembered that Xiaohai's cousin's wife wasn't local, but he didn't dare to use his previous memory to infer. After his rebirth, history was shattered by him.
However, from her performance, Chen Hansheng felt that this girl was quite good.
Next was the conversation. The two families found a room to talk. In fact, it was just bragging. The purpose was to let the man and woman feel less restrained.
Grandma's family had already prepared a room. There were some fruits, peanut candies, and tea inside.
Chen Hansheng, as an important escort, also followed in. The others were all relatives of the Liang family. They were also famous people in the village.
The girl's family was also there. Other than the elders, her second brother also accompanied.
It was Chen Hansheng's first time participating in such a "high-end conversation". In the end, all he heard were trivial matters. Soon, he lost interest. He picked up the poor quality tea and gulped it down one cup after another. He also kept eating peanut candy in his mouth.
After talking for about 20 minutes, everyone went out again, leaving Xiaohai's cousin and the girl alone in the room to talk.
Chen Hansheng was not stingy. He kept helping Xiaohai's cousin to disperse the smoke.
Soon, a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes was gone. The girl's second brother was very embarrassed. He didn't expect Chen Hansheng to open the trunk and take out two unopened soft Zhonghua cigarettes.
Not long after, Xiaohai's cousin and the girl came out. Everyone was very reserved and didn't immediately ask about the result.
After the girl's group left, Xiaohai's cousin took the initiative to find Chen Hansheng: "Hansheng, is your company short of people now?"
"It's okay."
Chen Hansheng guessed Xiaohai's cousin's thoughts.
"My girlfriend and I want to work in Jianye. Can you arrange it?" Liang Xiaohai asked.
"No problem."
Chen Hansheng readily expressed, but he was also very surprised: "You and that girl confirmed your relationship so quickly?"
"Not this."
Liang Xiaohai shook his head: "I have a girlfriend in the factory. If it's convenient, we will work for you."
"Fuck!"
Chen Hansheng looked blankly at Xiaohai's cousin: "If you already have a girlfriend, why do you still need to go on a blind date?"
Xiaohai's cousin let out a sigh: "My mom feels that my girlfriend's home is too far away, and the betrothal price at that place is also very high, so she doesn't agree to this marriage."
"Thus."
Chen Hansheng continued and said: "You just need to maintain your relationship with your girlfriend and go on a blind date at the same time."
Liang Xiaohai nodded his head with a worried look on his face.
Chen Hansheng didn't know what to say, and could only give a thumbs up.
Awesome.
How did the saying go again?
The schemes in the city are deep, I want to go back to the countryside, the roads in the countryside are slippery, and the schemes are even more complicated.
