Traveling back to 1952, starting a comeback from a relief station

Old Ma had already packed his things again and was carrying them on a shoulder pole, ready to go out.

Aunt Ma also carried her youngest son to see Old Ma off at the door, with Ma Wei following behind. Yan Bugui came out of the house, carrying two fishing rods on his shoulder and a bucket in his hand.

As they were greeting each other, Wang Anping came out of the house.

The people in the front yard were stunned when they saw Wang Anping, who looked completely refreshed.

Yan Bugui stared wide-eyed in astonishment and said:

"Anping, you... when did you get yourself a new set of clothes?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, he's really handsome!"

Aunt Ma also looked at Wang Anping in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Erniu blinked and said honestly:

"Brother Wang...you're so handsome!"

Old Ma, being a grown man, didn't really care about these things, but he did think that Wang Anping looked clean and neat right now, and was a really good young man.

He said smugly:

"How is it?"

"My cooking skills are pretty good, right?"

Aunt Ma couldn't help but spit on him:

"Come on! Anping just has good natural features; she looks good with any hairstyle!"

Wang Anping, fearing that Lao Ma would get carried away and give everyone the same haircut later, quickly reminded him:

"Uncle Ma, this hairstyle is selective."

Take Sha Zhu for example. If he got this haircut, his round face would turn into a pancake face. Xu Damao's long face would probably turn into a horse face. This hairstyle is just that magical.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ma Tiezhu picked up his barber's pole and went out happily.

Yan Bugui suddenly came to his senses:

"No, Dongxu's on a blind date today, why are you dressed so smartly?"

Wang Anping grinned:

"What? Can't I even tidy myself up a bit?"

"Now that we're working, our boss says we have to pay attention to our appearance and can't be too sloppy."

Yan Bugui instantly grasped the key point of the words and asked in astonishment:

"Are you at work?"

"Why haven't Lao Yi and Lao Liu mentioned this?"

"I see you leaving early and coming home late every day, I thought you were going to..."

"Ahem, Anping, which workshop in the steel rolling mill do you work in? How much is your monthly salary?"

Yan Bugui was extremely curious.

When Wang Anping talks about going to work, his first thought is a steel rolling mill.

According to the rules, Wang Anping could replace his uncle Wang Ligen's position, and he would be a permanent employee from the start, saving him several years of apprenticeship.

Wang Anping shook his head and said:

"It's not a steel rolling mill; I work in the neighborhood work group."

"Alright, Teacher Yan, I'm not going to chat with you anymore. You should go fishing now, or you won't be able to get a good spot."

With that, Wang Anping stepped out of the courtyard gate.

Yan Bugui stood there, pondering Wang Anping's words, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement:

"That kid's really capable; he actually got into the neighborhood work group. Does that mean he'll be a cadre soon?"

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up:

"That's not right! If he doesn't go to work at the steel rolling mill, then the positions there are still open, aren't they? This..."

A thought flashed through his mind, and Yan Bugui immediately lost all interest in fishing. He turned around and ran into the house, eager to discuss the matter with Yang Ruihua.

Having just emerged from the alley, Wang Anping turned onto the street ahead, intending to take a casual stroll.

As soon as he stepped out of the hospital, he vaguely noticed that there was someone standing at the intersection of the alley and the street, whose gaze seemed to be fixed on the direction of his own yard.

Wang Anping didn't pay much attention at first.

As I passed by that person, I glanced at him casually, but suddenly recognized his face.

"This is... Qin Huairu?"

She wore a floral cotton-padded jacket, her jet-black hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and a navy blue scarf was wrapped around her neck, which made her eyes look particularly bright.

Wang Anping recognized her at a glance; she was Qin Huairu, the female lead in the TV series.

At this time, Qin Huairu was much younger than in the drama, with a youthful and innocent charm in her eyes and brows.

In later generations, with the advent of various beauty filters, plastic surgery, and the ubiquitous beauty on social media, we are now surrounded by stunningly beautiful women.

The Qin Huairu in front of me can only be described as pretty.

But that skin.

They are not at all like the rough and coarse women of rural areas.

However, in an era where makeup is not popular and there are no artificial beauties, her looks are still quite striking.

"Young lady, are you looking for someone?"

Wang Anping took the initiative to step forward and greet him.

He remembered that when he came out earlier, Yan Bugui mentioned that Jia Dongxu was going on a blind date today. Wang Anping had been guessing that Qin Huairu was coming and planned to come back at noon to check.

I never expected to run into you here.

It's clear that the two haven't met yet.

Thinking of this, Wang Anping suddenly became interested—this was a woman who knew how to take care of people!

Don't say that this woman is a scheming and manipulative person in the TV series. That's because that silly guy is stupid and enjoys being tricked. As far as I'm concerned, Qin Huairu is a pretty good choice as a wife.

Having been reborn, Wang Anping wanted to simply lie down and relax.

This daughter-in-law is perfect!

Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu haven't even met yet.

To be honest, Wang Anping felt no remorse whatsoever for intercepting the deal.

He even couldn't help but wonder if his intervention might save Jia Dongxu from a short-lived fate.

Well……

I'm such a good person!

Qin Huairu was staring blankly at the gate of the courtyard house.

Seeing such a handsome man walk out of the courtyard, she was momentarily stunned.

Just now, when this person came out of the courtyard and passed by her, she couldn't help but steal a glance at him twice. She didn't expect that he would walk straight up to her.

Qin Huairu was immediately flustered, her cheeks flushing slightly.

"Um... are you a resident of that courtyard?"

Qin Huairu pointed to the courtyard inside.

Wang Anping nodded.

Qin Huai hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage and spoke:

"Comrade, I'd like to ask you about someone. Is there a man named Jia Dongxu in your compound? Could you tell me... what kind of person is he?"

She did come here for a blind date.

At home, the matchmaker portrayed the man's family as being very well-off.

You can't believe everything a matchmaker says.

She came here today to find out some things privately.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so it's always good to know the details beforehand.

As for whether the person in front of her was Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu had a fleeting hope, but quickly dismissed it.

If Jia Dongxu really had such looks and temperament, Aunt Li would definitely have highlighted it as a huge highlight when introducing him, and I wouldn't have had the chance to go on a blind date.

Wow, looks like this girl isn't so stupid after all.

I have to say something about that.

Thinking of this, Wang Anping took two steps toward the roadside and said:

"Jia Dongxu does live in our courtyard. He lives in the middle courtyard with his mother, while I live in the front courtyard."

"As for what kind of person he is..."

"The job is not bad; he's a worker at a steel rolling mill, taking over his father's job."

"There are only him and his mother at home, but his mother is a bit lazy and has a bad temper. She has had many arguments with neighbors in the yard, and she is also quite stingy."

Seeing the strange expression on Qin Huairu's face, Wang Anping smiled and said:

"It's famous around here. You can ask around if you don't believe me."

"By the way, why did you ask that?"

"Are you the one who's going on a blind date with Jia Dongxu?"
