Chapter 381: After all this time, are you trying to find a matchmaker for me?
After Xiao Jingjing returned home, Zhou Jiaguang's face filled her mind. Even in the self-criticism she wrote, his name appeared repeatedly, and in places where it shouldn't have been mentioned.
When talking to family members, eight out of ten sentences are praising Zhou Jiaguang.
Xu Yuefang looked at her silly daughter with a sad and speechless look: "You only met that Zhou Jiaguang once, what's so good about him that you can't forget him like this?!"
Xiao Jingjing: "He's good-looking, kind-hearted, and good at martial arts. Isn't that enough? I'm almost 18 years old and can date. I want to date him. Mom, can you let me go out and find him?"
Xu Yuefang almost choked on her own saliva and said with a distressed look, "Your father said that you can't date before you are 20, let alone get married. We worked so hard to raise you, but you haven't fulfilled your filial duties and you're just thinking about getting married. Are you worthy of our cultivation?"
Xiao Jingjing: "I can't go to school now, and I can't even take the college entrance exam. I'm almost going crazy staying at home all day.
Comrade Zhou Jiaguang should be in his early 20s. By the time I turn 20, he will definitely be married. I don’t want to miss him, so I have to act first.
Even if I get married, I will still be filial. If you don't mind, after I get married, I will live at home with Comrade Zhou Jiaguang and accompany you every day."
Xu Yuefang was speechless for a while, feeling that she could not communicate with her innocent yet a little silly daughter. When Xiao Songbai came home, she told him about Xiao Jingjing's plan.
"Our Jingjing is naive and stubborn, and she likes all good-looking people and things. She is now fascinated by the appearance of Zhou Jiaguang and says she wants to go out and look for him.
Jingjing is such a grown-up girl, and she was raised in our hands. If we don't follow her wishes, she will probably find ways to run away. If she is caught by bad guys and threatened, we will be in trouble.
Have you found out all the details about Zhou Jiaguang and the Zhou family? If there is no problem, I would like to meet him and check for Jingjing. "
Xiao Songbai: "Do you really want Jingjing to get married so early?"
Xu Yuefang: "No, let them spend some time together to see if they get along, so they don't become resentful couples.
Jingjing is right, a good man must be chosen in advance, otherwise he will be snatched away by someone else."
Xiao Songbai said coldly: "Humph! That brat got off easy!"
Xu Yuefang: "Don't be angry. A girl can't be kept at home when she grows up. You can't protect her forever, and you can't stop her from getting married, otherwise the child will resent us. How is the investigation of the Zhou family going?"
Xiao Songbai handed over a stack of information and said, "From what the information shows, he is indeed a good candidate, with a clean identity, hardworking and motivated, and can be considered a promising young man.
Zhou Jiaguang graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. He received many scholarships while in school. He worked in a radio company and performed well. He was highly regarded by the factory.
His parents and two brothers are workers, his three sisters are cadres, and his third sister is the daughter-in-law of a former army commander. Judging from his family background alone, he is worthy of our Jingjing.
Oh! When I think about Jingjing getting married, my heart is so heavy. "
Xu Yuefang looked through the information and said with a smile, "Don't worry, a grown-up son is no longer controlled by his mother. Our Jingjing has good taste, Xiao Zhou is indeed outstanding. I will go to the radio factory tomorrow. I hope he doesn't have a partner, otherwise Jingjing will be sad."
Xiao Songbai: "If you have a partner, just break up. How can you let him down by marrying our Jingjing?!"
Xu Yuefang: "Don't use the tactics you used in war on your children's marriage.
Our Jingjing has a simple personality, and her man must be devoted to her. If he wants to gain power in our family, not only will Jingjing suffer, but our whole family may also be plotted against.
If Xiao Zhou has a partner, then forget about it. Our daughter is not unmarried, so why should she compete with others for a man?
If we interfere forcefully and outsiders find out, they will laugh at us for bullying others. Xiao Zhou will probably think that if he treats Jingjing badly in the future, we won’t have a place to cry.”
Xiao Songbai choked: "Okay, let's do as you wish."
The next day, Xu Yuefang took her youngest son Xiao Wenrui to the radio factory.
Because Zhou Jiaguang and the members of the "Yangtze River Combat Team" went out for "patrol", the two men came back empty-handed.
Xu Yuefang had no choice but to leave a note at the gate, saying that she was Xiao Jingjing's mother and had something to discuss, and hoped that Zhou Jiaguang would come to the provincial government compound to find her.
When Zhou Jiaguang returned to the factory, he saw the note and wanted to find out what Xu Yuefang wanted to talk to him about, so he went to the provincial government compound the next day.
Worried that the other party would set a trap for him, Zhou Jiaguang asked the members of the "Yangtze River Combat Team" to wait outside. If he did not come out after an hour, they would go in and take him away...
The municipal and provincial governments are currently unable to work due to attacks from various organizations, so the leaders have no choice but to clear out a few rooms in the government compound to serve as temporary offices.
Xu Yuefang stared at Zhou Jiaguang in front of her for a few seconds. He was indeed imposing and handsome. No wonder Jingjing was attracted to him.
After Xu Yuefang introduced herself, she directly asked Zhou Jiaguang if he had a partner.
When he was in college, several female classmates wrote love letters to Zhou Jiaguang, but he was focused on his studies at the time and ignored them.
After he started working, many colleagues wanted to introduce him to potential partners. However, he found that those people had ulterior motives. Some of them were attracted by the connections of his three sisters, while others did not want to go to the countryside and wanted to find a city person to marry as soon as possible.
Some people even ask for a high amount of dowry as soon as they meet in order to help their older or younger brothers at home.
Zhou Jiaguang doesn't like any of these people.
He would rather be single than be schemed against or marry a troublemaker...
Zhou Jiaguang: "I don't have a partner yet."
Xu Yuefang: "You are so outstanding, why don't you find someone?"
Zhou Jiaguang was stunned, not understanding why Xu Yuefang kept asking him about his girlfriend, and said bluntly, "I have looked for someone, but I haven't met the right one."
Xu Yuefang: "What kind of girls do you like?"
Zhou Jiaguang: "Be self-reliant, don't cause trouble to me and my family, and don't have bad intentions. People in my family are very simple. We can't deal with people who are too complicated."
Xu Yuefang smiled and said, "Your request is not high, but it is not simple either. Marriage is about equality. What can you provide for the other party?"
Zhou Jiaguang: "Men in our Zhou family value promises the most. My partner must be my sweetheart. I will put her first in everything and give her everything I have.
Why are you so concerned about my personal problems? Can you tell me? "
Xu Yuefang: "You are a straightforward person, and I admire that about you. To be honest, my daughter Xiao Jingjing is almost 18 years old, and I want to find her a suitable partner to spend the rest of her life with.
She told me about your brave act that day. I think you are a very good comrade, a rare good young man. How about you try to get in touch with him?"
After all this time, are you trying to find a match for yourself?
How could a powerful family like the Xiao family look down upon me?
Zhou Jiaguang couldn't understand...
