1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

Because the girl was so fat, like a heavy tank.

When Jia Dongxu saw Sha Zhu and a few old men coming back, his face became even darker.

He didn't expect that today's blind date would be seen by everyone in the compound.

At this moment, he wished the matchmaker would take the girl away from his home immediately.

Seeing that more and more people were coming, Matchmaker Sun didn't want to stay any longer. If something unpleasant happened, it would be a disgrace to both parties.

"Tingting, let's go. Since you don't like Jia Dongxu, I'll introduce you to a better one another day."

"Okay, Auntie, don't introduce this kind of thing to me next time, otherwise I will be angry." Tingting said with a pout.

"Matchmaker Sun, what you said is a bit wrong. What do you mean by looking down on our Dongxu? It's obviously my Dongxu who looks down on you."

Jia Zhang was unwilling to give in. Now that everyone in the compound had returned, she didn't want this matter to become a laughing stock in the future.

Even a girl with a pig-like figure looks down on Jia Dongxu.

Matchmaker Sun was too lazy to continue arguing with Jia Zhang, so she snorted coldly and left with Tingting.

After the two men left, Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and asked.

"Sister-in-law, are you introducing a wife to Dongxu again?"

Jia Zhang nodded.

Then Yi Zhonghai continued.

"I think that girl just now is pretty, strong and easy to take care of..."

Jia Zhang's old face became a little gloomy, but since these words came from Yi Zhonghai's mouth, she chose to endure it.

Then, Yi Zhonghai walked to Jia Dongxu and patted him on the shoulder.

"Dongxu, you are not young anymore, it's time for you to get married."

"Master felt that the girl just now was quite good. You should have a good chat with her and see if you can get married..."

"Master..." Jia Dongxu felt unwilling.

If he really found such a fat wife and brought her home, she would probably be the laughing stock of everyone in the compound.

After the matchmaker left, Sha Zhu did not stay and took his sister home to cook.

Chen Xiao stood in front of his window, watching everything happening outside.

Suddenly an idea came to my mind.

That is to match this girl named Tingting with Jia Dongxu. Then Jia Dongxu will marry Tingting, and Chen Xiao will marry Qin Huairu.

How could Chen Xiao not do such a good thing that would bring double happiness to his family?

Since I snatched the advantage from Jia Dongxu, it would be fair for me to compensate him with Tingting.

Otherwise, if Jia Dongxu really remained single, how would Siheyuan develop in the future?

But how should we bring them together?

This is a problem.

After thinking for a while in the room, Chen Xiao came up with an idea.

Then he rode his bicycle to catch up with the matchmaker Sun.

At this time, Matchmaker Sun was taking Tingting to the Old Drum Tower Street, trying to see if they could get home earlier before it got dark.

Chen Xiao rode his bicycle and called out to them to stop.

"Matchmaker Sun, Matchmaker Sun, please don't leave yet. I have something to tell you."

Hearing someone calling them, Matchmaker Sun and Tingting turned around to look.

The first time Tingting saw Chen Xiao, she was attracted by his handsome appearance.

"What's the matter?"

Chen Xiao stopped his bicycle and said to Matchmaker Sun.

"Matchmaker Sun, I'm Jia Dongxu's co-worker."

As he spoke, Chen Xiao glanced at Sun the matchmaker, indicating that he wanted to talk to her for a moment.

The main reason was that the girl named Tingting kept staring at Chen Xiao, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

Matchmaker Sun glanced at Tingting, then followed Chen Xiao to the side.

"Can we talk now?"

"Matchmaker Sun, I just want to ask you one question: Do you want Tingting to marry Jia Dongxu?"

Matchmaker Sun's eyes flickered, but she didn't react.

Tingting is her niece. She heard that there was a boy in the city who was a little ugly and wanted to find a partner, so Sun the matchmaker asked her niece to come over.

After all, if you are not good-looking, you don’t have that many conditions.

Her niece Tingting is just a little fat and has a bad temper, but she's pretty good in other aspects.

But on this blind date, Jia Dongxu didn't like Tingting and didn't even want to give her the chance to go into the house and talk.

Chen Xiao continued.

"Although Jia Dongxu may not look good, he has a great family. There are only the two of them at home, so they won't have to hold a funeral in the future. He also has a brand new sewing machine at home, and he has a stable job at a steel mill. If Tingting marries him, I don't need to tell you how good her life will be in the future, right?"

"Jia Dongxu looked down on Tingting today, but that's because he's still holding on to his city ego and can't bring himself to do that. Think about it, Jia Dongxu is 22 years old this year. At that age in the countryside, he would have already had a son and a daughter, but he's still a bachelor. Matchmaker Sun, you've been through it all, so you know how tough it is for a hot-blooded bachelor."

Matchmaker Sun nodded.

"My next words may make you angry, but I'm here today for Tingting's own good. Don't blame me for being harsh later."

Matchmaker Sun nodded again.

"Actually...actually, it was Jia Dongxu who asked me to come here and tell you this. Although he looks down on Tingting, he doesn't want to give up. He's afraid that he'll never find a wife and end up single. You know how many people were in the compound just now, and he couldn't bring himself to do that."

At this moment, a hint of joy flashed in Matchmaker Sun's eyes.

"So, Jia Dongxu is still a little bit inclined to agree?"

"Yes! That's right."

"So, Matchmaker Sun, please don't give up on Tingting and Jia Dongxu." As he spoke, Chen Xiao took out a dime from his pocket and handed it to Matchmaker Sun.

Matchmaker Sun waved her hands repeatedly to refuse.

"Young man, what are you doing?"

"This is what Jia Dongxu asked me to give you. He said he was sorry for what he did to you two today. Consider this little money as an apology."

"Even so, the money cannot be accepted. It's enough that Jia Dongxu has this intention, but he should take the money back." Matchmaker Sun pushed the money back.

Since Sun the matchmaker refused to accept it, Chen Xiao didn't bother to be polite, as he could save a dime.

"By the way, Matchmaker Sun, please don't tell anyone else about my visit today. If you let it slip and let other people in the compound know that I came to see you, Jia Dongxu will be even more embarrassed."

Matchmaker Sun nodded.

"Don't worry, I'm famous for keeping my mouth shut."

……

After Chen Xiao left, Matchmaker Sun came to Tingting and spoke to her.

"Tingting, do you know what that young man came for just now?"

"He came to tell us that Jia Dongxu still wants to be with you, but he can't bring himself to do it."

"Don't blame me for being harsh, but that's the truth. It's your fault for eating so much that you become fat."

"But now this is an opportunity, a chance for a country chicken to become a phoenix. As long as you marry Jia Dongxu, you will be a city dweller and no longer have to work in the fields."

"Do you know how much Jia Dongxu earns a month? He works at the Red Star Steel Mill and makes at least 20 yuan a month. We farmers don't even make that much in a year."
