Chapter 305 Touch your pocket, grit your teeth and persist(1/2)
The provincial capital of Guangxi Province.
In a residential area, Chen Zhihai used a safety rope to hang himself on the 16th floor while installing air conditioners for customers.
This is the fourth air conditioner that Chen Zhihai has installed today. August is the peak season for air conditioning installation. He has to work hard under the scorching sun every day, and there is no high temperature subsidy. His clothes are wet and dry, and his body is wet again.
It was really too much and I fell asleep every night.
At this time, the person was in mid-air, and his property and life were tied to a long rope. To be honest, Chen Zhihai really didn't want to do this kind of job that was both dangerous and didn't make much money, but when he touched his pockets, he could only
gritted his teeth and persisted.
He was born in a rural area with poor family conditions. He is now 32 years old and still single. His father died of illness when he was in junior high school, and his mother is not in good health.
He also has a sister, but she got married two years ago.
His academic performance was not good, and after his father passed away, his family did not have the means to continue his education, so he dropped out of junior high school before graduating from junior high school and went out to work.
Without education, you can only do some manual labor when working outside.
Now, he is 32 years old. He has been working hard for more than ten years from construction to air conditioning installation. In addition, he has saved a lot of money by saving money.
Chen Zhihai has already thought about it. After this year's peak season, he will ask a matchmaker to introduce a girl, get married and have children, and live the happy life he has always imagined.
Thinking that if everything goes well, it might not take long to get rid of being single and take off the hat of an old virgin. Chen Zhihai summoned the strength out of thin air and successfully installed the air conditioner.
When Chen Zhihai returned to the rooftop and put his feet on the ground, the sense of security finally returned.
"Brother Chen, thank you for your hard work. Drink some water."
His companion Xiao Li handed over a bottle of mineral water, and Chen Zhihai took it and drank most of the bottle.
He took out his mobile phone and looked at the time and found that it was already past 12 noon. Chen Zhihai wiped the sweat from his forehead with the towel he brought with him and said, "Xiao Li, it's getting late. Let's go eat first and wait until we're full."
Drink enough before continuing to work. Today's goal is to install ten air conditioners. When you finish, you will rest."
"Well, okay."
…
Fifteen minutes later.
At a nearby cheap fast food restaurant, Chen Zhihai and Xiao Li wolfed down their lunch. Naturally, people who work hard can't compare to those who work in an office. The two of them had to refill their meals twice, plus a bowl of free soup.
Fill your belly.
After eating and drinking, the two found a shady place to rest. Although the installation task today was very heavy, they still needed to take a rest after eating.
Just when Chen Zhihai was watching funny short videos to kill time, a handsome young man walked up to him, smiled and said hello: "Hello, are you Mr. Chen Zhihai?"
Chen Zhihai raised his head, looked at the handsome young man in front of him who was dressed differently from a migrant worker, nodded and said: "I am Chen Zhihai, what can I do for you?"
The handsome young man introduced himself: "Brother Chen, my name is Jiang Feng. I am a professional matchmaker. I came to you to introduce you to a partner. I wonder if you are interested?"
Chen Zhihai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then refused with some vigilance: "No, thank you for your kindness."
It's not that he doesn't want to find a partner, it's just that the young man in front of him looks so young. He ran up to him inexplicably and said that he wanted to introduce him to a partner. No matter how he heard it, he didn't think it was reliable.
In fact, the first thought that popped into his mind was that it was a scam.
In this day and age, all kinds of scams are really emerging. While countless people have been deceived, many people have also improved their security awareness. When they encounter something unexpected and good, they immediately label it as a scam.
Seeing his wary look, Jiang Feng obviously thought he was a liar. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Chen, you don't have to be so nervous. I'm not a liar. My dating agency is located near the train station, and I can be considered a liar online."
I am somewhat famous, so you can check my information online."
Chen Zhihai was a little embarrassed to have someone see through his inner thoughts, but it was not easy for him to make money. The 430,000 in Kari was the result of more than ten years of hard work and frugality, so he naturally had to be wary of being deceived.
Seeing that his vigilance remained unabated, Jiang Feng suggested: "Brother Chen, if you are worried, you can come to my dating agency for negotiation. My dating agency is located near the train station and has several hundred square meters. It is famous online.
, so business has been good, and you’ll know it’s not fake when you check it out.”
Hearing this, Chen Zhihai relieved a lot of his worries and said, "Matchmaker Jiang, I'm so sorry. I have to go to work soon. I'm afraid I don't have time to go to your dating agency."
Jiang Feng didn't waste any time and went straight to the point: "Brother Chen, I know you are busy with work, and I don't want to take up too much of your time. I will tell you about the woman's situation now. If you think it's appropriate, you can tell me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Take some time to come to my dating agency, and I will arrange for you to meet and chat, what do you think?"
Having already reached this point, Chen Zhihai naturally would not refuse, "Okay, Matchmaker Jiang, you say it."
He originally had the idea of asking a matchmaker to find a partner after this busy season this year. Now a matchmaker comes to him. As long as he can prove that the matchmaker is real, it will be too late for him to be happy. How can he refuse!
Jiang Feng told the woman's information in detail: "She is from a rural area. She is 23 years old. She is pretty good-looking and has a good figure. She has done well in studies from elementary school to junior high school. She originally had a good future.
Unfortunately, when she was 15 years old, a disease destroyed everything for her, and she became blind at such a young age.
Many people may not be able to accept such a blow, but she is very strong. It only took a month for her to cheer up and try to adapt to life after blindness.
It only took her three years to go from being unable to do anything and needing constant care to being able to basically take care of herself.
During these three years, she also learned a massage technique. Then, when she was just 18 years old, she was introduced to the provincial capital from her hometown and entered a blind massage center to become a technician. She continued to work until
Now.
Nowadays, her life is stable, and the female owner of the massage center also thinks highly of her. Although the work is a bit harder, her monthly salary of tens of thousands is still better than many people.
Brother Chen, she is indeed a rare good girl. If you don't mind that she is blind, come to me at the Happy Dating Agency tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and I will arrange for you to meet."
When Chen Zhihai heard this, his mind was in turmoil.
Jiang Feng didn't say anything more. He took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "Brother Chen, this is my business card. Call me when you think about it clearly."
After saying that, Jiang Feng said goodbye, walked a few dozen meters forward, got in the car, and left.
Xiao Li, who had been silent for the whole time, watched Jiang Feng drive away and then said, "Brother Chen, you are in luck. A matchmaker actually came to introduce you to a partner. It seems that it won't take long for you to get rid of being single."
Chen Zhihai said in a daze: "Xiao Li, the matchmaker introduced me to a blind person!"
Xiao Li said disapprovingly: "What happened to the blind man? The matchmaker has made it very clear just now that the girl can basically take care of herself and does not need too much care from others.
And what is our identity? We are just people doing high-risk hard work. Even if we risk our lives, our wages may only be higher than others during the peak season, but the wages during the off-season are far behind. In this way
I’m looking for someone but can’t find it!”
Chen Zhihai suddenly felt enlightened after hearing this, "Xiao Li, you are right. Apart from being invisible, she has better conditions than me in every aspect. I still have two opinions on whether she can take a fancy to me. I am still struggling here whether to marry her or not. It's really too much.
It’s funny.”
Xiao Li patted his butt and stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, we are ready to start work. Finish the work early today. Tomorrow, you should contact Jiang's matchmaker and resolve your marriage as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will cost you more than thirty
A 2-year-old spinster, it’s really easy to talk about but not nice to hear!”
Chen Zhihai stood up and laughed and scolded: "You brat, you are still laughing at me. If you don't spend money to find those female Bodhisattvas to solve your physiological needs, how can you be better than me?"
"Hehe, even if I don't spend money to find a female Bodhisattva, I have eaten meat before. Just because of this, I am better than you!"
"Tch, why don't you lose your virginity to the female Sea King? What's there to be proud of?"
"Brother Chen, you are jealous..."
"I'm jealous, go get to work quickly, it will be your turn to go out of the outer wall later."
…
Hangzhou.
A hot pot restaurant.
Niu Lanhua put the cooked mutton into her boyfriend's bowl, and then started to rinse the tripe. After the tripe, she rinsed the duck intestines, and after the duck intestines, she rinsed the beef. She was very busy.
Qu Haidong didn't move his chopsticks, but looked at his girlfriend intently.
Although his girlfriend Niu Lanhua is not beautiful in the eyes of outsiders and is not worthy of him personally or in family background, in his eyes, this girlfriend is pleasing to the eye no matter how he looks at her.
Coupled with the fact that my girlfriend carries the famous weapon "Butterfly", people who have never experienced the ecstatic feeling will not understand.
Therefore, even if his parents made it clear that they did not like his girlfriend, he never wavered in his intention to marry her.
However, his parents' attitude has some influence on him. Otherwise, based on the relationship between him and his girlfriend, he would have been married by now, instead of living together as a simple matter.
In the past, Qu Haidong stubbornly believed that his parents didn't like his girlfriend because they were prejudiced against her girlfriend.
But a few days ago, his parents told him that Master Jiang had already calculated it for him. He and his girlfriend were indeed married, and they were in love with each other after they got married. However, his girlfriend Niu Lanhua and his parents had conflicting personalities, and they would never get along with each other for the rest of their lives.
.
At that time, Qu Haidong found it difficult to accept what he said. He once rejected Master Jiang's conflicting words and accused his parents of looking at people through colored glasses. Then he returned to the provincial capital in anger.
However, when the anger dissipated and reason returned, Qu Haidong's heart was still cast by a shadow.
After all, the person who said this was none other than the nationally renowned Master Jiang!
After witnessing with his own eyes that Master Jiang single-handedly made his grandfather and uncle, two brothers who had been separated for 81 years, meet each other, Qu Haidong had no doubts about Master Jiang's calculation ability.
It is precisely because he believes in Master Jiang's calculation ability that Qu Haidong has a sad face these days. On one side is his parents who have loved and raised him for more than 20 years, and on the other side is his beloved girlfriend.
The two cannot coexist, which is very torturous.
"Honey, what are you doing? Eat it quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold."
His girlfriend's words brought Qu Haidong back to his senses. He shouted, quickly moved his chopsticks, picked up the fragrant, spicy and delicious mutton and started chewing it.
After the meat in the bowl was empty, Qu Haidong looked at his girlfriend and said, "Honey, this weekend, will you and I go back to Hengyang County to see my parents?"
Niu Lanhua frowned when she heard this, "Husband, didn't you just go back for a few days? Why do you want to go back this weekend?"
