Chapter 22: There Are Still Three Good Young Men

“Xiuxiu, wait up, you guys!”

Matchmaker Liu, came out of the teahouse and could still see Wu Xiuxiu, Ding Hongjuan, and Dong Xiaoye’s backs. She shouted loudly and ran after them.

Wu Xiuxiu and her mother and sister-in-law turned around together and saw Matchmaker Liu. Their eyes flickered slightly.

Why did she come out too?

“Xiuxiu, Xiaoye, Sister Ding, I’m so sorry, I didn’t know Du Yuanan’s mother was like that. Introducing Du Yuanan to your family, if I had known, I wouldn’t have introduced him.”

Matchmaker Liu, spoke before the Wu family could say anything, her face showing a hint of guilt.

“It’s not your fault! It has nothing to do with you!” The Wu family women comforted her in unison.

They all knew that this matter couldn’t be blamed on Matchmaker Liu.

Hearing the Wu family women’s words, Matchmaker Liu, felt relieved. She scolded, “Du Yuanan’s mother is so outrageous, she even said such beggarly words. Don’t say you guys are angry, I’m so angry I can’t even stand it.

I just told them, mother and son, with a mother like her, her son will probably find it hard to marry a wife, and even if he does, it won’t last long. He will divorce sooner or later.

I dare not introduce any more objects to her son, don’t harm other girls. I told her not to come to me to find a wife for her son anymore!”

Hearing this, the Wu family women immediately understood why Matchmaker Liu, came out too.

“I thought about it, I still have three good young men in hand. Although their conditions are not as good as Du Yuanan’s, they all have jobs.

One of them has both parents who are also double-income earners, but their salaries are not as high as Du Yuanan’s, only thirty-nine yuan a month. I thought maybe I should arrange for Xiuxiu to meet him tomorrow.” Matchmaker Liu, said with enthusiasm.

“Right, his name is Zhong Xiaoshan, he’s a regular worker at the textile factory. His father works at the printing factory, and his mother works at the sugar factory. They are both ordinary workers, although they have long working years, their salaries are not much higher than Zhong Xiaoshan’s…

But Zhong Xiaoshan is also an only child, without siblings, everything in the family will be his in the future, so the conditions are still pretty good.

Moreover, if Xiuxiu and Zhong Xiaoshan can get together, they will have the opportunity to take over one of his parents’ jobs after marriage.”

“This is good!” Ding Hongjuan’s eyes lit up and she nodded, “Please arrange for Xiuxiu to have a blind date with this Zhong Xiaoshan tomorrow.” Her face showed a hint of anticipation.

Dong Xiaoye looked forward to it and nodded, “Aunt Liu, please… by the way, how are Zhong Xiaoshan and his parents? Character is important.”

Du’s mother had already scared her, she was afraid of encountering another person like Du’s mother, and instead of finding a husband, she would end up in a bad mood.

“Zhong Xiaoshan and his parents are all honest and trustworthy people, especially his parents, they look very pure and kind, they are good people, don’t worry.” Matchmaker Liu, quickly said.

Hearing this, Dong Xiaoye and Ding Hongjuan felt relieved.

Wu Xiuxiu, however, thought that whether a person is good or not, she still needed to see it with her own eyes to confirm. Moreover, because of Du’s mother, she already had some aversion to blind dates.

But she didn’t refuse to have a blind date with Zhong Xiaoshan tomorrow because she knew that her time was limited and she needed to find a good partner to marry as soon as possible, otherwise she would have to go to the countryside.

After Matchmaker Liu, and the Wu family women discussed it, she said that she would wait until Zhong’s family got off work in the evening and go to Zhong’s house to tell them about arranging Zhong Xiaoshan’s blind date with Wu Xiuxiu tomorrow, let Zhong’s family set the time and place for the meeting, and then go to Wu’s house to inform them.

After that, Matchmaker Liu, and the Wu family women chatted for a while, then said goodbye to the Wu family women and left.

The Wu family women decided to go home, but on the way home, they heard someone calling Wu Xiuxiu…

“Xiuxiu!”

“Sha Jia Bang” is a model play. The full name of the model play is “Revolutionary Model Play.” It is a colloquial term for more than twenty stage art works, mainly plays, that were established as “revolutionary model plays” during a special period. They were very popular at that time.

Model plays are mainly stage art works with a large number of plays and a small number of musical works.

The most representative ones are the Peking operas “The Red Lantern,” “Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy,” “Surprise Attack on White Tiger Mountain,” “The Harbour,” and “Sha Jia Bang，” the ballet “The Red Detachment of Women,” “The White-Haired Girl,” and the symphony “Sha Jia Bang.”

The original body was also a literary and artistic girl who loved art, especially music, so she loved model plays, especially the symphony “Sha Jia Bang.”

The symphony “Sha Jia Bang” is quite famous. It was adapted from the modern Peking opera “Sha Jia Bang” by the Central Symphony Orchestra. After its first performance, it became very popular and was warmly welcomed by the masses. Therefore, tickets were very difficult to obtain. So, although the original body had always wanted to see it, she had been unable to get tickets.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaoli had now managed to get tickets and invited her to see it.

Should she go?

There are no more model plays in modern times. Even if there were, she wouldn’t have the money or the time to go. Therefore, she knew very little about model plays. All she knew was from the original body’s memories.

What she knew from her memories did not arouse her love for model plays. She wasn’t interested in them…

“Xiaoli, thank you. Xiuxiu has been asking us and her brother to think of ways to get her a ticket to the symphony”Sha Jia Bang.” She really wants to see it.

But we couldn’t get tickets. Now you have gotten tickets and invited her to see it. That’s great. She finally got her wish.”

Suddenly, Ding Hongjuan’s voice came from beside her.

Wu Xiuxiu looked at her mother and saw that she was looking at Ye Xiaoli with a grateful expression.

“Xiaoli, thank you so much. Xiuxiu has finally fulfilled her wish!” Dong Xiaoye also thanked Ye Xiaoli with a grateful expression.

Wu Xiuxiu looked at her sister-in-law. Originally, she didn’t want to go to the play, but she changed her mind.

Hearing her mother and sister-in-law’s words, she remembered the original owner’s greatest wish before her death was to see the symphony “Sha Jia Bang” once. Now that the original owner was gone, she had gotten the original owner’s body. She should fulfill this wish for the original owner.

“Xiaoli, I really don’t know how to thank you. When does”Sha Jia Bang “start?” Wu Xiuxiu thanked Ye Xiaoli and then asked about the starting time.

“Tonight at 7:30 at the Beishi Concert Hall.” Ye Xiaoli answered, not only giving the time but also the location.

“I think we should meet at the gate of the Beishi Concert Hall at 7:20. I’ll give you the ticket when we meet.” Ye Xiaoli said.

“Okay.” Wu Xiuxiu was a little puzzled as to why she didn’t give her the ticket now, but she thought it was the same if she gave it to her tonight when they met, so she nodded and didn’t ask for the ticket now.

“Xiuxiu, when you come tonight, dress up a little. Wear a nice dress and put on some lipstick.” Ye Xiaoli suddenly instructed.

“I remember you told me when we were about to graduate that your brother gave you a Braggi dress and your sister-in-law gave you a lipstick, didn’t you?”

Strange! Why did Ye Xiaoli ask her to dress up?

Wu Xiuxiu looked puzzled, her eyes flashing with confusion. Ye Xiaoli saw her confusion and explained with a smile, “What kind of place is the Beishi Concert Hall? Naturally, you have to dress up when you go there. Wear your best clothes.”

Wu Xiuxiu thought about it. Although she had never listened to symphony music in modern times, she knew that when you go to listen to symphony music, you have to be polite. You can’t wear casual clothes. You have to wear formal attire, dress well, and dress appropriately and beautifully to show respect.

“Okay.” Wu Xiuxiu nodded again, not noticing the strange light that flashed in Ye Xiaoli’s eyes.

I have completed the task he gave me. I can go back and report to him. Ye Xiaoli thought.
