Chapter 16: Couple
That day, after Zhao Shucheng returned home, he was checking the recent Bitcoin market on his computer. Li Wenqin and Cao Hanzhi looked at each other. Cao Hanzhi held his accordion and went out. Li Wenda was also forced to go out together by Li Wenqin, saying that he was staring at Cao Hanzhi and not letting him mess around outside.
After only Zhao Shucheng and Li Wenqin were left at home, Li Wenqin walked to Zhao Shucheng and said, "Xiaoqiang."
‘Oh, what’s wrong?’
"Come here and talk with mom."
However, after Zhao Shucheng was really sitting on the sofa, Li Wenqin didn't speak for a long time.
Zhao Shucheng asked, "What are you going to say?"
"Xiaoqiang, are you joining the teacher? It's the teacher your father's comrade-in-arms introduced?"
"Mom, you guys investigate me? Can I still have some privacy?"
Li Wenqin asked, "Do you think that teacher will treat you sincerely?"
"Can you not look through my phone or force me to ask these questions? I am just friends and friends now. Don't be so nervous, okay?"
"You said that the age gap between you is so big. She is only twenty-two years old. She is young and beautiful, and she also knows French. Where do you think she likes you?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "Mom, she is indeed very good, but I am not bad either, okay?"
"You are very outstanding, you must be very outstanding in your mother's eyes."
"Mom, just praise me if you praise me. Can you please don't add prefixes? What does it mean to be excellent in your eyes? That is, it's not excellent in others' eyes?"
"Of course it's not that it's not outstanding, it's just..."
Zhao Shucheng said, "Listen, mom, stop saying anything. If you say something even worse, you will come out. And I have a sense of my own affairs. Wu Xiaoliu and I are still in the stage of getting to know each other. Don't think about asking me to take her home for dinner. You can't force it if the time is not right. You also said that she is still a little girl. You will definitely scare people like the way you are a three-stage judge."
"Okay, we won't interfere with your private affairs, but if you make up your mind to get married together, you should bring it back for me and your father to see it."
"I understand, don't worry."
Zhao Shucheng finally felt relieved when he saw Li Wenqin no longer forcing him to let Wu Xiaoliu come to his house. In fact, it was not that he could not take him home, but for a girl like Wu Xiaoliu, although she wanted to get married, she felt different when she went home to meet her parents. Moreover, Zhao Shucheng and Wu Xiaoliu are just friends now, and they have not thought about developing into lovers. If she brought him home, the meaning would be different.
When Li Wenqin saw that Zhao Shucheng was unwilling to talk about his love, she couldn't force her son. If his son couldn't think about it and broke up with Wu Xiaoliu, wouldn't he have to be single again? He wanted to hold his grandson in the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
"Xiaoqiang, you see that your uncle has been here for so long, so you can't let him stay at home and stay away from work. He spends nothing every day and does nothing, right?"
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "That's true, what do you mean by mom?"
"Mom wants to say that we are not familiar with the place in this capital, and we have no connections or ways to help your uncle find a job, but you have known many people for so many years in the capital, so you will definitely have a way."
Zhao Shucheng said: "I don't know many people. I just know some supermarket people. Do you think my uncle is willing to be a supermarket staff member like this? And he can't do it as a custodian, and the salesman is also in trouble. At most, he is a calculator. Do you think he is willing to go?"
"Then you have to try it no matter what, right? Besides, you have been in Beijing for so many years, and you can't really know only people in supermarkets. There must be other jobs that your uncle can do."
Zhao Shucheng was a little worried when he heard this. His uncle was spoiled by his four sisters, and it was even more idle. It was undoubtedly a waste of time to let him go to work seriously. Unless he was not so tired to find a job that was not so tiring, and he didn't have to stand every day or work for a long time.
But such a position is not so easy to find. If there is really such a position with more money and less trouble, Zhao Shucheng will go there himself, and can he still wait for Li Wenda to do it?
"Okay, mom, I'll help find it. If there is a suitable one, I'll definitely tell you."
"Oh, that's right. He is your uncle. Who will help him if you don't help him, right?"
When Zhao Shucheng heard this, he shook his head helplessly. His uncle is really a spoiled child. It is said that he, the elder, should have taken care of him, but now he is taking care of him by himself.
On that day, Zhao Shucheng was working in the company. It was lunch time and was about to go for dinner when he heard his landline ringing.
"Hello?"
Wu Xiaoliu's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, uncle, what are you doing?"
"I'm working in the office and I'm going to have lunch now. What's wrong?"
Wu Xiaoliu said, "Let's go out and sit down, and I'll have a break during class."
Zhao Shucheng asked, "Where are you?"
"Come out and meet me. I'm in the cafe opposite your company, where we meet for the first time. Just give me five minutes? Well, that's it, be bye!" Wu Xiaoliuyi prayed at first, but after he hurriedly finished speaking, he hung up.
Zhao Shucheng couldn't even say anything to refuse, so he could only go to the cafe opposite the company.
When Wu Xiaoliu saw Zhao Shucheng coming, he smiled and said, "Uncle, you haven't seen me for two days. Do you miss me?"
"I think of it, of course I think of it."
"Uncle, I think it's impossible for you to say you don't want it, but if you say you want it, why do I think you're still lying?"
Zhao Shucheng said, "Xiao Liu, what do you want me to say? It's not right for me to think about it, it's not right for me not to think about it."
"Oh, you should say whatever you think."
"What I said is what I want to say, I won't lie, nor do I want to lie."
Wu Xiaoliu said: "Uncle, do you think I'm a little unreasonable?"
"Why, you're just being straightforward. By the way, you came to me, just to ask me if I miss you, right?"
Wu Xiaoliu smiled and said, "Of course not. I miss you, so I want to see you. By the way, uncle, you haven't come to see me recently. Are you still busy with sales? Let me help you?"
"No, I do my own work myself, I can't always rely on you to help me."
‘Oh, okay. By the way, this is the information of my parents. I specially prepared it for you. You can preheat it first so that you won’t have anything to say when you meet.”
Zhao Shucheng was stunned when he heard this and said, "Isn't it a bit too early to meet your family now? Didn't we agree to be ordinary friends first?"
"It's not too early, oh, no, they just came here for business and had a meal here, nothing."
Zhao Shucheng said: "How come it's nothing? Then after meeting them, how do you introduce me to them? Is it an ordinary friend or a boyfriend?"
"If I talk about ordinary friends, they have to believe it?"
"Xiao Liu, listen to me, I think this matter should be more cautious. Yes, I feel very relaxed and happy when I was with you, but now let us confirm the relationship, I don't think I am mentally prepared. If I go to see your parents now, wouldn't it be a bit too hasty?"
Wu Xiaoliu said, "Oh, it's just a meal, it's not that serious. My parents have seen all my boyfriends before. I don't know what to do now, there's nothing."
Zhao Shucheng said: "Xiao Liu, I am different from others. I think falling in love is a matter between two people, but seeing parents is the first step towards marriage. I actually take this matter very seriously. I don't want others to think I am irresponsible, nor do I want any unnecessary misunderstandings to occur at that time. We are not really together now. If your parents misunderstand, then we will be embarrassed to get along in the future."
"If we really decide to be together, it means we are ready to live together for the rest of our lives, and there will be no problem with meeting parents on both sides. You may think it's nothing, but if I say I'll take you to meet my parents now, do you think it's nothing? If you really think it's nothing, I'll take you home to meet them now."
Wu Xiaoliu was stunned when she heard this. In fact, she took her boyfriend to meet her parents, but her parents were worried that Wu Xiaoliu was dating someone, so she checked her daughter in advance. If the other party was not suitable, they would find an opportunity to break up, so that their daughter would not suffer any harm in the end.
"If you can't accept it now, I'll say to my parents and see you some other day."
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Xiao Liu, I have another question. You said before that your aunt has never been married. Can I know why? Is it because of unforgettable love, or is it because of hurt that I can't believe in love?"
When Wu Xiaoliu heard this, he looked at Zhao Shucheng in shock and said, "Uncle, you don't have any ideas about my aunt, right? This doesn't work, you are my boyfriend now!"
"What are you thinking? I want to know your aunt's situation. I have an old uncle who is about the same age as me and is also single now. If your aunt still likes men, I think they might be quite suitable."
Wu Xiaoliu was relieved when he heard this and said, "That's it. I don't know exactly what my aunt thought, but I know that she has not been married now, but she is a little rejected by men. It may be related to my previous uncle-in-law. She thinks that men are fickle and not trustworthy."
After hearing this, Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Men are teenagers until death. It is normal for them to be fickle, but some people have self-control, while others have no self-control. But my uncle is a good person. He is a person who has a thief heart but no courage. The only time he fell in love from childhood was in an online relationship, and he registered for marriage in the game. However, after meeting, both parties felt that it was inappropriate, so they had no idea of falling in love."
"Then I think they are still a bit suitable, but I don't know what my aunt thinks."
Zhao Shucheng said: "You listen to me first, and then tell your aunt about the situation. If she is willing to meet, then arrange for them to meet. If you think it is not suitable, then forget it."
"My uncle Li Wenda is 35 years old this year. He looks average and can only play games and has no serious job. The only advantage that can be called is that if your aunt is looking for a person who is not fickle, he is such a person. After all, he only has a computer and can stay at home for a few days without going out, and he will not go out to attract bees and butterflies. But therefore, there is a biggest disadvantage, that is, he can only fall in love and has no ability to support his family. It is a problem to support himself, let alone support your aunt."
"Ah, why is he like this?" Wu Xiaoliu said in shock.
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "He is such a person, a child who never grows up, so the person he needs is someone who can take care of him. Perhaps the only thing he doesn't need to worry about is cheating. After all, just install a computer at home and let him be at home. Unless he is starving to death, he will not go out."
Wu Xiaoliu felt that such a man was not worthy of his aunt at all. After all, no matter what, his aunt is now the boss of a company, with three or four hundred employees under his command, and the company is worth over 100 million. With such conditions, what kind of man does my aunt look for? How could she look at Li Wenda who has achieved nothing?
Seeing Wu Xiaoliu feeling a little embarrassed, Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Xiaoliu, you don't have to make things difficult. Just tell your aunt the truth. In fact, I also know that his conditions are difficult to find a suitable partner. After all, no one wants to be a waste who is not doing his job and doing nothing. But it can't help but some people like such people, so you just tell the truth, it doesn't matter whether it works or not."
Wu Xiaoliu said, "Okay, I will mention it to my aunt when I was having dinner with my parents in the evening, but if you really don't want to meet, you can't blame me."
"Seeing what you said, I don't know what my uncle looks like. It's normal to be unwilling, and it's an accident. Anyway, it's idle, so it's okay to try it."
Wu Xiaoliu couldn't understand Zhao Shucheng's thoughts, but she still agreed and would tell her aunt about the situation, but she felt that her aunt might just smile and had no intention of subsequent development.
In fact, Zhao Shucheng just tried it. His uncle, a child who never grew up, was not a partner, but a mother who took care of him. In fact, it is difficult for such people to find a partner. After all, there is nothing you want, why do others fall in love with you? No matter how bad an ordinary person is, he has a job and has a little savings, or has a house or a car, he doesn’t have anything like him.
