Chapter 472 You should get married at your age

Shen Zhixia said, "Thank her for me, I won't go over to eat."

"Okay," Wang Xiaojian said, but he didn't leave, his face growing increasingly red.

Shen Zhixia asked curiously, "Xiao Jian, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?"

Wang Xiaojian said, "Maybe it's too hot?"

hot?

Where is it hot?

But it's winter.

Wang Xiaojian seemed to realize that his excuse was a bit off, so he quickly explained, "I don't know why, but it just feels pretty hot inside. Aunt Chen, I'll be going now."

Shen Zhixia said, "Don't you want to play a little longer?"

As if someone was chasing him, Wang Xiaojian ran very fast: "No, my mother is calling me back for dinner."

Xiao Bao said, "Is that Brother Xiao Jian? He's changed a lot."

He said with some envy, "I wish I were as tall as him."

Da Bao said disdainfully, "You're just feeding an animal, why do you need to be so tall?"

Actually, Xiao Bao isn't short, but his delicate face makes him seem not very tall. He seems to really want to be that kind of strong man.

Shen Zhixia thought he looked quite good the way he was now, and that he was very likable.

When Wang Xiaojian returned, his face was even redder.

Zhang Weihong asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Xiaojian said, "I called Aunt Chen, and she said she'd come over next time."

"Um."

Zhang Weihong wasn't too surprised; she had guessed that Shen Zhixia wouldn't come over for dinner, after all, Shen Zhixia was a polite person.

But since there were so many delicious dishes today, she still politely called Shen Zhixia.

"Let's eat then," Zhang Weihong said.

"good."

Zhang Weihong asked in bewilderment, "You've been training in the military camp for so long, how come you're still all show and no substance? You're already this tired just from calling people to eat. Is your physical condition really that bad?"

Wang Xiaojian ate his meal without saying a word.

After they finished eating, Zhang Weihong called Wang Xiaojian into the room and said mysteriously, "I have something to tell you."

Wang Xiaojian's face was blank.

Zhang Weihong said, "Do you remember your Uncle Feng? He has a daughter who is three years younger than you. She works at the supply and marketing cooperative now, and many people want to go on blind dates with her. It's because we have a good relationship that he wants to introduce his daughter to you. Dress up nicely and go on the blind date with her, okay?"

She was clearly very pleased with the girl, her eyes full of smiles: "She's a good girl, very well-behaved. She's been quiet since she was little. You mustn't scare her, okay?"

Wang Xiaojian said dejectedly, "Mom, I don't want to go on blind dates."

Zhang Weihong said, "What did you say?"

Wang Xiaojian said, "I don't like her. I think you should marry someone you like, and you should like each other before you can get married, instead of just finding anyone."

For him, marriage is a sacred thing. If he were to marry someone he didn't like, then his life would be meaningless.

Zhang Weihong said, "You haven't even met him, how do you know you don't like him? Besides, with your looks, he might not even be interested in you."

She had originally intended to belittle Wang Xiaojian, but after seeing his face clearly, she fell silent, because Wang Xiaojian was indeed quite good-looking.

A boy changes a lot as he grows up, and I never thought that Wang Xiaojian would actually grow up to be quite good-looking.

It seems she has good genes.

Zhang Weihong sighed, "Luckily you grew up to look like me. If you looked like your father, then no one would want you."

Wang Xiaojian said dejectedly, "My dad said he was very handsome when he was young, but he got fat as he got older."

If Wang Jianhua hadn't gained weight in middle age, he would actually be quite good-looking. After all, he only gained weight later in life, which is why he completely lost his shape.

Zhang Weihong said, "Anyway, I found this opportunity for you, so you have to go on the blind date."

"I'm not going."

Wang Xiaojian was very firm this time: "I must find true love."

"You really love him? Where do you get so much love?" Zhang Weihong was furious.

But Wang Xiaojian wouldn't budge this time, insisting on pursuing some kind of true love.

Zhang Weihong went to Wang Jianhua and said, "You need to control your son! I found him a great blind date, but he just won't go. He keeps saying he wants to pursue some kind of true love. Do you think there's something wrong with his head?"

In their generation, marriages were arranged through matchmaking. Zhang Weihong felt that all feelings could be cultivated over time, and she didn't know what Wang Xiaojian was being picky about.

She said, "You should talk to Wang Xiaojian about this later and try to persuade him."

Wang Jianhua thought for a moment and said, "Could his reaction be because he has a girl he likes?"

"What did you say?" Zhang Weihong shouted.

Wang Jianhua rubbed his head and said, "Keep your voice down, or the neighbors will hear you and it will be a laughing stock."

Zhang Weihong said with some dissatisfaction, "So what if I heard it? Why is it being treated like a joke?"

"You said Wang Xiaojian has someone he likes? Then I definitely have to go and ask him."

Wang Jianhua said helplessly, "There's no need for that. I'm just guessing. Whether it's true or not, we're not sure."

Zhang Weihong said, "That's probably not the case. I think someone like him would definitely not be interested in anyone."

"That's not necessarily true."

Zhang Weihong said, "Where did he meet this girl? Could it be from when he was in the army? She was a female soldier, wasn't she?"

Wang Jianhua naturally didn't know, and couldn't give her any answer.

Zhang Weihong increasingly felt that this was a possibility, but she insisted on not letting it go if it wasn't, and even became more anxious to urge them to get married.

Marriage is a must for Wang Xiaojian. If he doesn't get married, his life will be incomplete and he will be a failure!

He is only happy and content when he is married.

Anyway, as long as Wang Xiaojian doesn't agree to a blind date, Zhang Weihong will urge him.

Wang Xiaojian: "?"

Zhang Weihong said, "I will only feel at ease if I see you get married soon."

Wang Xiaojian said speechlessly, "Mom, marriage is not an easy thing. There are many unhappy marriages. I don't necessarily need to get married to be happy. If I can't find someone suitable and someone I really like, I think I can stay single forever. That's actually not bad."

"Sometimes, one's personal life can be of a very high quality."

Zhang Weihong picked at her ear, and said incredulously, "What? What did you just say?"

Wang Xiaojian said, "I think being alone is fine too."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Weihong angrily said, "I'll teach you to talk nonsense! I'm telling you, you have to get married in this life. If you don't get married, then you're not my son."

After she finished speaking, she tried to pull Wang Xiaojian's ear, only to find that Wang Xiaojian had grown much taller and she could no longer pull his ear.

Wang Xiaojian thoughtfully squatted down, but Zhang Weihong grabbed his ear and started cursing at him.

Just then, Wang Xiaojian heard a silvery laugh coming from outside.

He looked out the window and was instantly mesmerized.

Da Bao was outside making snowmen. She made two round ones and stuck carrots on top as noses.

"It looks really good," Wang Xiaojian said with a smile.

Zhang Weihong touched her face and said, "Stop being so glib. I'm already old, what's there to look at?"

"Wang Xiaojian, let me tell you, no matter how much you plead, it's useless. In my eyes, you have to get married, understand?"

Wang Xiaojian's mind was filled with images of marrying Da Bao, and he vaguely hummed in agreement, "Okay."

Zhang Weihong thought that Wang Xiaojian had been defeated by her, so she was very satisfied.

"That's right. People should follow the mainstream and get rid of all those bad thoughts in your head."

Soon enough, Zhang Weihong actually arranged a blind date for Wang Xiaojian.

The blind date took place in a restaurant.

Wang Xiaojian did not come.

Zhang Weihong and the girl sat awkwardly for the entire afternoon. She was quite satisfied with the girl, but felt that Wang Xiaojian was not good enough for her at all.

When Zhang Weihong got back, she saw Wang Xiaojian still eating and was furious: "How can you eat at your age?"
