Chapter 503: Sha Zhu's Confusion in Blind Date

With the good mood of discovering a little secret, Gao Zhendong took a car back to the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, I happened to meet Sha Zhu coming out. Looking at this boy, he was dressed neatly and was very happy to see Gao Zhendong.

"Zhendong, it's just right. I couldn't find you just now. Come on, help me and lend me something."

Gao Zhendong opened the door and said with a smile: "Tell me, what do you want to borrow?"

"Lend me your watch. Hehe, I remember you have an older Chinese-made watch. If you don't need your bike, lend it to me too."

Wow, this is rare. Although the two have a good relationship, Sha Zhu never asks Gao Zhendong to borrow a watch or anything like that. He asked for it today, so I guess the situation is special.

After taking a closer look at Sha Zhu's outfit, Gao Zhendong was amused: "Oh, you're going on a blind date, huh? Sure, come in and wait, I'll get it for you."

Gao Zhendong is much taller than Sha Zhu, so Sha Zhu can’t wear his clothes, so it’s useless to borrow them. However, the watch is fine.

The old domestic product that Sha Zhu mentioned was an old "May 1st" watch that Gao Zhendong bought at a consignment store when he first came to Siheyuan. Since he and Lou Xiao'e bought a pair of Breguet watches, he rarely wears this May 1st.

Don't look down on it. Nowadays, any watch shows that you are a special person. First, you can afford it, and second, you can use it. In the minds of some insightful people, the latter is even more important than the former.

In fact, in Gao Zhendong's opinion, the significance of this "May Day" is also very important. This is the first domestically produced watch after the founding of the People's Republic of China. No matter whether it is accurate or not, just say whether its identity is strong.

But there's nothing wrong with lending it to Silly Zhu, he won't fall off.

While waiting, Sha Zhu talked about the origin of today's incident. It was an aunt who introduced him, but this time it was not a relative, but a relative of an old sister, who was said to be an employee of the cotton mill next door.

This does meet Sha Zhu's requirement of at least having a salary certificate and being a formal employee.

Gao Zhendong took out the watch and handed it to Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu carefully put the watch on his hand, raised his hand and put it down again several times, and when he felt he had found the feeling, he waved, said hello, got on his bike and rode away.

Lou Xiao'e was still in class and would not be back today, so Gao Zhendong ate his meal and then moved a stool and a stove to lie down in front of the house to bask in the sun, occasionally playing with the children and reading a book, feeling quite comfortable.

Time always passes so quickly on a sunny winter afternoon. Gao Zhendong feels extremely comfortable. Everything is fine except that Banggeng went home for lunch at noon and was beaten with a feather duster by Qin Huairu for some reason.

Gao Zhendong didn't care. He was just educating his child. A few hits wouldn't hurt. You could tell from the screams of Bang Geng, which were full of energy and even a bit of liveliness in the pain.

But it sounds like Qin Huairu is a little upset today because of some unknown reason.

In this atmosphere, Gao Zhendong felt that not much time had passed, but it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. He was just about to go into the house to change his entertainment, but he heard a bicycle bell ringing, and then he saw a figure flash by the hanging flower gate. It was Sha Zhu who came in.

Gao Zhendong looked at his watch in surprise. It’s only been a short while, why did he come back? It seems like things didn’t go well?
Nowadays, it is no longer fashionable to have extreme back-and-forth when dating. If you are attracted to each other and the conditions are right, you may decide after just a few meetings. So if you feel that the two of you are attracted to each other at first sight, you basically won't break up so quickly.

But looking at the expression on Shazhu's face, he doesn't look like a stray dog ​​that has been bullied by others. To be sure, he's not happy, but at least he's not depressed. He just looks a little weird.

It seems that Shazhu doesn't like her. In TV dramas, this guy is a typical face-control freak. When he said he wanted to make his hair smooth and shiny, he was not kidding.

"Why did you come back so early? Don't you like it?" Gao Zhendong said with a smile as he took the watch that Sha Zhu had taken off.

"This...how can I explain it? I can't explain it either." Sha Zhu said with a puzzled look as he parked the car.

Gao Zhendong didn't care. People always have problems figuring things out. "If you don't understand, forget it. Just look for someone next time. There will always be plenty of people who are right for you."

Sha Zhu parked the car and handed the keys back to Gao Zhendong, as if he remembered something.

"Well, Zhendong, do you have anything to do today? Is your wife coming home today?"

Gao Zhendong shook his head: "Nothing, my vacation is not over yet. Xiao'e will not go home today because she has classes."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu said that Zhendong had not been to work during this period, and it was probably arranged by the factory. Look, he is on vacation.

What made him even happier was that Gao Zhendong was fine and Lou Xiaoe couldn't come back from school.

"That's perfect. Come to my house for dinner and chat. I always feel like something is wrong with this matter. You're married and have a lot of experience. Can you give me some advice?"

Gao Zhendong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It was true that I was married, but when it came to dating, I didn't have much experience. You were asking a blind man for advice.

But it was hard to explain this kind of thing. Anyway, it was a free meal, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll come to your house for dinner."

He may not have much experience, but that didn't stop him from listening to what was going on with Sha Zhu. Just like the brothers in Gao Zhendong's previous life's dormitory, they probably didn't have much experience, but that didn't stop them from listening to gossip about a certain brother in the dormitory chasing girls, and when they came up with ideas, they were all worse than the other.

At dinner time, Gao Zhendong strolled to Sha Zhu's place with empty hands, without even bringing any wine. If a senior consultant is to be a consultant, he should act like a senior consultant. How can a senior consultant bring his own things?

Seeing Gao Zhendong coming in, Sha Zhu quickly asked him to sit down: "Zhendong, sit down, sit down. I sent Yu Shui to Sister Qin's house. Today it's just you and me. Listen carefully and think about it for me."

Gao Zhendong didn't make any promises, just listen.

They poured themselves some wine, clinked glasses, and talked while eating.

"The woman today is not bad looking. At least I can accept her. Her qualifications are also acceptable. She is a worker in a cotton mill, a recent apprentice. She is not a senior worker, but she is young and can be promoted in the future."

Gao Zhendong took a bite of the dish and said, "That's not bad. Why don't you like her? You're not pretending to be rich. It's not that you don't like her, but that she doesn't like you, right?"

Sha Zhu got angry and took a sip of wine: "Grandma, I'm telling you, she knew I was from the steel mill, she was already satisfied, but when we met at noon, she found out I was the mill's cook, hey, didn't you see her eyes, they were as big as copper bells, she almost tied me up and took me home."

After saying this, he slapped his thigh and emphasized his tone.

It seems that the introducer only said that Sha Zhu was from the steel rolling mill and didn't say much more. He was probably afraid that if he said too much, there might be too big a discrepancy and he wouldn't be able to cover it up. The introducer also needs a reputation.

As for the girl's reaction that Sha Zhu mentioned, just listen to it. It is probably true that she is interested, but the idea of ​​wanting to kidnap him and take him home is probably a bit far-fetched.

"Really? That means you don't like her?"

Sha Zhu was a little confused: "This is what I think is wrong. This girl's conditions seem to be almost the same as what I want, but I always feel like something is missing. I just feel that something is wrong."

"You said that this girl has good personal qualities, but you look down on her because of her background? That's not the case. With a bad background, she can't even get into a cotton mill." Gao Zhendong could still help analyze such superficial things.

Lou Xiao'e can read, which is an exception among exceptions. However, there is also a special case called Ran Qiuye in the TV series, and it seems that her family background is also high.

"No, even if he is not three generations of poor peasants, at least he has a good family background. The introducer would never joke about this."

Nowadays, people dare to lie about other things, for example, if someone is ugly, people say he has a good temper, if he has a bad temper, people say he has a straightforward nature, if he is big and strong, people say he is good at giving birth and so on, but when it comes to background, matchmakers will never dare to lie.

This matter has too many implications. If even this is concealed, then the reputation will be extremely bad.

"That's strange. If the conditions are good, the class background is low, and it suits your taste, then why are you so picky? Is it because your family is large and the burden is heavy?"

"I don't know." Sha Zhu's answer almost made Gao Zhendong jump up.

"You don't even know this?"

"Yes, I just feel uncomfortable, so I haven't talked about it yet."

That’s right, this is a relatively in-depth topic. Given the situation that Shazhu described, it is probably impossible to discuss it.

"So you feel bad temper?"

"No, she looks like a neat girl."

"So what the hell do you want? Why don't you count on your fingers the conditions you want one by one and see what's wrong with this girl today, or what's wrong with you." Gao Zhendong stopped guessing and came up with an idea.

"My requirements are very simple. I need to have a food allowance and a job, preferably a skilled one. I also need to be a good person, take care of my family, have a clean family background, and not be of high class status. Oh, and by the way, I need to be well-behaved and able to have children."

Sha Zhu still cared about the issue of family background. He asked himself, he was not Gao Zhendong, who could not take his wife's family background so seriously and even arranged for her to enter university.

Gao Zhendong listened to his series of requests and felt that there seemed to be no problem at all. The girl also didn't seem to have any taboos. But he seemed to have grasped something vaguely.

He picked up the cup and walked away with Sha Zhu: "That's all? That's all? Is there anything else you can't accept?"

Sha Zhu looked at Gao Zhendong as if he was a fool: "That's all. With my conditions, what else can I ask for? Zhendong, are you stupid? As long as the above conditions are met, there is nothing I can't accept."

Gao Zhendong realized something. It’s not me who is stupid, but you who are stupid.

"Well, are you sure you don't have any other conditions? For example, age? Other family conditions?" Gao Zhendong asked.

Sha Zhu thought about it and shook his head: "Nothing else."
