Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Wang Xiaohua felt a mix of laughter and tears upon hearing Li Xiulan's words.
Still, he replied patiently:
"Mom, you don't need to worry about me. Finding a wife is a matter of fate; when the connection arrives, things will naturally fall into place!"
Hearing this, Li Xiulan grew even more worried:
"The way you put it, if fate never arrives, you'll just stay single forever?"
Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:
"Mom, that's not what I meant!"
Li Xiulan, however, said:
"I understand. I've been through it; how would I not know what you're thinking? Ever since Jianjia left, your heart surely can't hold another woman, but you have to look forward. In this life of marriage, you can do without love, but you cannot do without a wife!"
Wang Xiaohua felt even more like laughing and crying at the same time.
The main thing is he's genuinely busy with work right now and has no time to date.
He could only tell Li Xiulan a well-intentioned lie:
"Rest assured, I'll take the initiative to look. If I find someone suitable, I'll bring her back right away for you to see!"
Li Xiulan, however, said:
"If I introduce someone, you definitely won't like her, just like before when you tried to matchmake with Li Yuncui. How about this: let your Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law help look. Especially your Eldest Sister-in-law — her connections are extensive. The girls she finds for you absolutely won't be bad!"
Wang Xiaohua gave a dry, awkward laugh:
"No need. Eldest Sister-in-law is very busy; no need for her to worry about me!"
Just then, Du Xiaojuan entered the gate with Yang Dashi.
Li Xiulan hurriedly called out to Du Xiaojuan:
"Xiao Juan, come here a moment!"
"Mom, what is it?" Du Xiaojuan hurried over at a quick trot.
Meanwhile, Wang Dashan hurried over to greet Yang Dashi, stepping forward to hand him a Soft Zhonghua cigarette and then leading him to the Living Room to brew tea and receive him.
Li Xiulan said to Du Xiaojuan:
"Xiao Juan, you should know quite a few girls, right? Why not introduce some to Xiao Hua? He works in Town now, and the girls he can meet are really too few!"
Du Xiaojuan laughed and agreed readily:
"Sure, just don't know if Xiao Hua is willing!"
Wang Xiaohua smiled awkwardly yet politely, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Du Xiaojuan then said:
"There are quite a few girls in my Company who graduated from 985 and 211 Universities. Just don't know if Xiao Hua looks up to them."
Wang Xiaohua gave a dry, awkward laugh:
"Eldest Sister-in-law, with my external conditions, to tell the truth, a blind date is basically dead on arrival. Better not waste effort on it."
Hearing this, Du Xiaojuan found herself unable to refute for a moment.
Had to admit, Wang Xiaohua's words were right.
The blind date market is extremely cruel.
All conditions must be clearly priced and laid out on the table, just like commodities, displaying various attributes and performance, then offered for selection.
With Wang Xiaohua's height of only 1.6-something meters, without an emotional foundation, many girls would take one look and PASS on him, simply not caring about his education or inner knowledge.
Li Xiulan, however, said:
"Just give it a try. Trying to look won't make you lose a piece of meat!"
Then she said to Du Xiaojuan:
"Xiao Juan, when you get back to Guangzhou, help introduce some!"
Du Xiaojuan couldn't refuse her own mother-in-law, so she could only say:
"Alright, I'll look around in the Company then and see if there's anyone willing to get along with Xiao Hua."
Li Xiulan heard this and immediately broke into a smile:
"Then I'm counting on you, Xiao Juan! I'll go check the Vegetable Garden for dishes and cook lunch for you all!"
Li Xiulan couldn't sit still for a moment. She'd only just returned a short while ago and was already off to the Vegetable Garden again.
Wang Xiaohua watched her happily departing figure and couldn't help but sigh.
Du Xiaojuan whispered in his ear:
"Xiao Hua, your mom is doing it for your own good. To speak plainly, at your age you really should find a partner. Because the later it gets, the harder it'll be to find someone."
Wang Xiaohua smiled:
"Thanks, Eldest Sister-in-law. I understand all that you said, but how to put it... I actually have no heart or energy left for romance right now. Do you understand what I mean?"
Du Xiaojuan said:
"I understand. I feel that in this life, you'll never find a girl better than Jianjia."
Wang Xiaohua's nose tingled slightly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Du Xiaojuan then advised him:
"But life must go on no matter what. If Jianjia knows from the underworld, she certainly wouldn't want you to end your days alone."
Wang Xiaohua nodded, still not speaking.
Du Xiaojuan persuaded again:
"How about this, I'll put your conditions out there, if there's a girl at the company interested in you, I'll have her add your WeChat, you can chat on WeChat first, if both sides feel it's okay, then continue developing from there, this way it won't delay your work, nor waste too much of your time and energy, what do you think?"
Du Xiaojuan had already spoken to this extent, Wang Xiaohua naturally had no reason to refuse further.
So he nodded:
"Okay, okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Eldest Sister-in-law!"
And at this time, the other side.
Wang Dashan had just steeped tea, called Yang Dashi over, Wang Erhai also came over to accompany Yang Dashi drinking tea.
"Yang Dashi, in a bit we'll go up the mountain together to look at the grave, whatever tools need preparing, just tell us, we'll do our best to arrange them."
Yang Dashi said:
"Nothing much, the tools that should be brought I've all brought, today we'll just go look at the grave's feng shui first, incidentally help you find a new feng shui treasure land, as for grave relocation, I'm afraid it won't proceed that quickly."
As soon as Yang Dashi's words came out, Wang Erhai couldn't help but be stunned:
"Oh? Yang Dashi, why do you say that? I was still thinking to relocate the grave as soon as possible, change the feng shui as soon as possible?"
Yang Dashi said:
"When I just came in, I noticed there's a big-bellied pregnant woman at your home, who is she in your family?"
Wang Erhai answered honestly:
"That's my wife, what does that have to do with grave relocation?"
"Your wife ah, then even more cannot lightly move the grave, our grave relocation has a rule, that is when there's a pregnant woman at home, cannot casually move the grave."
"So it's like that..." Wang Erhai exclaimed in surprise, "Recently a lot of things haven't been going smoothly for me, I was still thinking..."
Yang Dashi immediately interrupted his words:
"It's not counted as everything going wrong either, isn't your wife pregnant with a child? In feng shui there's a saying, called this wanes that waxes, offspring and wealth cannot both flourish, you now your wife is pregnant, actually it's using career fortune exchanged for it, if your career kept going smoothly, your wife might not have gotten pregnant so easily, you two prepared for pregnancy for quite a while right?"
Wang Erhai hearing this, immediately greatly surprised:
"Yang Dashi, you really hit the mark, me and my wife indeed spent quite a bit of free time preparing for pregnancy, this one was only conceived with great difficulty!"
Yang Dashi nodded with certainty:
"I said so, I can't possibly calculate wrong, although helping you relocate the grave now could earn more money, but this conscience-violating money, I won't earn it, because it would shorten my lifespan!"
Wang Dashan asked:
"Then wait until when can we relocate the grave?"
Yang Dashi said:
"At least wait until your second brother's wife's child is born and passes the full month."
Wang Dashan hearing this, couldn't help but frown and sigh:
"That's still four or five months ah, quite a long time..."
Actually he also wanted to change the feng shui, recently always staying at home as a full-time stay-at-home dad, he was nearly bored to death, and also suppressed by Du Xiaojuan unable to lift his head, feeling the whole person was depressed, so wanted to change the feng shui, see if it could let his career have some turn of fortune.
