But Hu Jiankai, after being squeezed out of the Zhisheng Electronics Factory and leaving the factory angrily, came to the suburbs of Longcheng. At that time, Longcheng was undergoing development everywhere and hundreds of industries were waiting for prosperity. The steady Hu Jiankai couldn't stand the intrigues in the factory and was unwilling to continue.

After entering the factory, he first rented a simple house with a small amount of money to live in, bought a second-hand men's bicycle, and then bought some woven bags. He rode his bicycle to the vegetable wholesale market every morning to wholesale some vegetables, and then rode

The car went to some temporary markets to sell vegetables. Hu Jiankai set up street stalls, so the prices of vegetables were lower than those sold at vegetable stalls in regular markets, so he sold out the vegetables before noon every day and took a break in the afternoon;

After a few days, I calculated the accounts in detail, and found that I was much better than being an ordinary worker! I was so happy that I strengthened my determination to develop further. As time went by, I made some money and rented a place in the vegetable market.

The stall is even more impressive, free and better than working part-time. In his words, he is now a boss!

Most of the vegetable sellers in the vegetable market are locals. These people are simple and kind-hearted, and they are not as big businessmen as some local speculators. Therefore, when Hu Jiankai runs a vegetable stall, they do not exclude them too much. Instead, Hu Jiankai opens his own business.

It was also his duty to be honest, and he often helped other vegetable stall owners clean up their stalls, etc., and gained favor from them. When they learned that Hu Jiankai was in his thirties and had not yet married, they all came forward to introduce women to Hu Jiankai as wives.

Hu Jiankai himself also understands that he was born in the mainland and has no power. He is in his thirties. Fortunately, he is healthy and neither tall nor short. He may not be able to find a wife when he returns to the mainland. If he can find a wife in an open city,

, I don’t know how many lifetimes of virtue he has accumulated, so Hu Jiankai readily agreed.

That day, Lao Wang, a neighbor at the vegetable market, mysteriously told him that he was going to meet a woman in the evening. He didn't tell him what she looked like or her identity. In short, he asked Hu Jiankai to take a look. Hu Jiankai didn't hesitate and agreed wholeheartedly!

In the evening, Lao Wang arrived at Hu Jiankai's rental house very early. Hu Jiankai was already dressed. After all, he had never been on a blind date before. He was an honest man and had low self-esteem. He always thought that no woman would fall in love with him. When he saw Lao Wang, he came over.

, the two set off on a bicycle along a small road.

The two bought some fruits and rode for about twenty minutes and a few kilometers to a small village. This is the suburb of Longcheng. It has not yet been developed. It still retains the appearance of a small fishing village by the sea.

The houses are all made of low square stones, which are said to be very resistant to typhoons. Lao Wang led Hu Jiankai to a residence. Several houses were arranged in a concave shape. Lao Wang opened the small iron grille at the door and said

Li shouted: "Axiu, Axiu!"

Someone inside responded: "Here we come, cousin!" It turns out that Lao Wang is the cousin of the woman named "Axiu" inside.

Hu Jiankai met the woman. She was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and had a matching face. She was about thirty years old. The woman led the two of them into the room, gave them chairs to sit on, and then fell down.

After tea, Hu Jiankai looked at Lao Wang, and Lao Wang quickly introduced: "This is Axiu, who is also my cousin. This is the Hu Jiankai I told you!"

The two looked at each other and smiled. Hu Jiankai immediately took a liking to Axiu, and Axiu also smiled shyly. It was not easy to talk about anything when they met for the first time. Lao Wang and Hu Jiankai just talked about the market conditions in the market and some trivial matters in life.

Suddenly, two children ran out of the back room, one dressed as a boy and the other as a girl, about five or six years old. They shouted: "Mom, mom!" One of them rushed into Axiu's arms, and Axiu hugged her.

He was holding the child, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

Hu Jiankai's face suddenly turned red and purple, and he looked at a loss. At this time, Axiu quickly picked up the child, held the other one in his hand, and hurriedly got up and went into the back room.

When Lao Wang saw this, he quickly explained to Hu Jiankai that it turned out that A Xiu was a married person, and her husband A Gui was Lao Wang's neighbor. A Gui had made a living by fishing on the seaside for a long time, and his family also had a small fishing boat. Unexpectedly, what happened to the sea the year before last

There was a typhoon, and Agui was caught off guard when he went fishing. The small fishing boat was turned away by the wind and waves, and it disappeared.

From then on, in this small family, Axiu raised the child by herself, both as father and mother. However, the child was too young, and Axiu could not go to work, and there was no other effective source of livelihood. Currently, the neighbors support each other to make a living, so

Relatives all persuaded Axiu to take the child and remarry, preferably by recruiting a bride. It was said that the village where the bride could be married could convert her into a local household registration.

After listening to Lao Wang's explanation, Hu Jiankai understood what was going on and remained silent. Lao Wang became a little anxious and asked, "You understand, what do you think?"

Hu Jiankai thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it when we go back!"

Lao Wang said: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to, so it's my fault that I didn't explain things clearly to you at the beginning!"

"It's okay. Thank you very much for being a matchmaker for me. I haven't had anyone do matchmaking for me yet!"

"Then let's go. If you don't want to, forget it. Don't disturb others!"

"Who said they don't want to? I'll go back and think about it before I reply. They haven't said yet whether they like me or not!"

The two of them rode their bicycles to say goodbye to Axiu and returned all the way. Lao Wang kept talking, "Axiu is a very hard-working woman. Look at her house. Although it is simple, it is neatly kept. The two

The decent care of the child is due to bad luck. Agui died early, and now the family is in trouble, so we came up with this idea for her."

"If you hadn't told me earlier, when I saw her children running out, it would be so embarrassing!"

"I told you earlier that I was afraid you wouldn't even come. Actually, I think you two are a good match, so I decided to be the matchmaker for you. You are not young anymore and it's time to start a family. If you have a wife, I will give you two children. What a bargain.

!”

"That's right!"

"Yes, if you are willing to recruit a wife, you can also transfer your household registration here. From now on, you will be a local in Longcheng. It seems that development will be carried out here soon, and you will get rich!"

"Recruiting a bride? I have to write back and ask my family about this matter. In my hometown, it is taboo to recruit a bride. We think that only incompetent men go to the woman's house to recruit a bride!"

"Your hometown is very backward in thinking and there are not many opportunities like this!"

"We've talked so much, but we still don't know what Axiu is thinking. If you don't like me, it's not in vain. Can you ask me tomorrow?"

The second day passed quickly, and Hu Jiankai acted as if nothing had happened. On the early morning of the third day, before dawn, Hu Jiankai wholesaled vegetables at the vegetable wholesale market and returned to his own vegetable stall. He was about to put the weight on his bicycle.

He moved the cabbage down and put it on the stall, but saw a woman reaching out to help him put the cabbage down.
Chapter completed!
