Her Cultivation Diary

Chapter 2210: Chapter 1876: Gastric Bypass Brother’s Partner

Gastric Bypass Brother watched Self-taught Sister hold hands with Chen Xi openly.

Aunt Zhang Hong beside him said, "Look at you, you two are coworkers and see each other every day, yet haven’t developed any feelings... put your heart into it!"

Although Gastric Bypass Brother was envious, he wasn’t receptive to Aunt Zhang Hong’s suggestion: "We don’t do office, um, nor vegetable garden romances."

Although the farm clearly supported such ideas, otherwise it wouldn’t have poured so much money into hosting the matchmaking event. But both Gastric Bypass Brother and Self-taught Sister had been through workplace struggles; they knew what each other was like.

As coworkers, each was reliable in their own way.

As a couple, by the end of the month, they might even have to split the bill for the chicken they ate the previous day.

In short, those who have been in the workplace for a long time, measure pros and cons before doing anything.

That’s fine for work, but deadly when placed in a family setting built on emotion.

But to say there’s no urgency isn’t quite right either.

Before, it was all about 996, 007, working on big and small weekends, all sorts of overtime... companies always had their rhetoric.

Don’t even mention dating; WhatsApp statuses were perpetually on the brink of life, without the energy to even supply emotions for anger.

Back then, Self-taught Sister felt it was fine living alone for a lifetime. Gastric Bypass Brother didn’t dare think about the future.

But after resolutely shedding everything and coming to the countryside, a foreign countryside, after staying for half a year they realized—

No KPIs, sleeping 8 hours a day, only working 8 hours; so this is what life is like!

No wonder the older generations felt life had prospects; isn’t it promising? Now they even have the mind to watch the evening news while having dinner!

When people have spare time, desires like love, starting a family, raising children emerge.

Gastric Bypass Brother is now getting a bit anxious: He’s saved up some money, so today might he meet someone who resonates with him?

He thought and thought, seeing Teacher Tang with meticulously groomed silver hair sitting there munching seeds and chatting away with Wu Lan and the others.

He heard from Yan Ran that Teacher Tang knows a lot about social relations!

After thinking it through, he summoned the courage typical of a sales champion and approached.

"Teacher Tang, I want to find someone too, but today it seems there’s no space to shine...could you teach me?"

Eh? How unusual.

The old lady was quite intrigued: No one’s come to me for advice in this area before!

But actually, she understood.

After all, back then, Professor Song who was all about the fields and vegetable gardens, and herself with a hint of petite bourgeoisie thoughts, were never a match, yet they still spent a lifetime together harmoniously!

Lady Tang was confidently assured: "Come, tell me about your situation."

She asked while sizing up the young lad.

Gastric Bypass Brother wasn’t tall, probably only about 1.75 meters, reportedly very thin when he first arrived, but now gradually a bit rounder, overall he looked...

Quite ordinary.

Looks neither high nor low, height neither tall nor short, physique neither fat nor thin.

But Teacher Tang still found his highlight.

That being, his face was slightly round, with rather sparse features combined, he appeared quite amicable and not at all aggressive.

Don’t overlook this trait.

Being amicable is not the same as being weak, and when someone is amicable, they easily gain trust and favor from others with their words and deeds.

Moreover, some girls naturally dislike highly aggressive males, they psychologically resist and reject them.

We should play to our strengths!

After all, comparing outward appearance and physical prowess, he can’t compete with the security guards.

Teacher Tang listened to his explanation and after pondering for a moment said, "Right, after the security guard’s demonstration ends, you should..."

....

The competitions and prize quizzes were in full swing on the security guards’ side, meanwhile down the mountain, Li Lanhua was chatting with everyone at the small shop, though her mind had already wandered off.

Rainy days mean many tasks can’t be done, everyone rarely had leisure time.

People familiar with each other had already set up a table for mahjong, watching her daydream and teasingly said:

"Lanhua, can your Tianyu bring a wife home today?"

Li Lanhua sighed, "I’d like that, but this kid is too honest, doesn’t know how to talk, it’s tough, you know."

The group playing mahjong exchanged glances.

"Doesn’t know how to talk" and "honest" don’t necessarily mean anything.

Besides, mothers can often misjudge their own children. Anyway, to them, these terms don’t fit Zhou Tianyu.

One of them diverted the topic, "My niece from my parents’ side signed up for today’s event specially."

Li Lanhua’s eyes lit up, "Oh! Does your niece need to participate in this matchmaking event? Why not chat with me? We know each other well."

They laughed, "Ah, nowadays young people don’t listen to us, I just helped sign her up, guess she’s just here for the show."

That’s certainly true.

Zhang Hong said, many people are just here to have fun, put on a show.

But Li Lanhua wasn’t giving up, "Come on, one should settle down and live life, just putting on a show, what’s that all about?"

Then she worked hard to promote herself, "My husband and I worked hard all our lives, managed to save a bit for our kid, eventually buy a house in the city, arrange the marriage, and in a couple of years raise the child, mission accomplished."

The fellow villagers dare not reply to that.

They just laughed, "Us elders can plan all we want, young folks don’t listen! Your Tianyu is a proper university graduate with a decent job in Beicheng. My niece didn’t even finish high school, barely got a diploma, these two together have nothing to talk about."

Didn’t finish high school?

Li Lanhua couldn’t help but ponder: Tianyu probably wouldn’t like that, he doesn’t actually want to find someone from the village.

She chuckled to divert the topic, letting the one speaking breathe a sigh of relief.

Because they thought just like Li Lanhua, the other person certainly isn’t a match for their child.

Nowadays, Zhou Tianyu’s university degree isn’t much valued anymore. Finding a job in Beicheng, never mind not earning thirty grand or fifty grand a month, but even with that, is the job stable?

Heard in private companies outside, layoffs happen without notice, no buffer.

While her niece didn’t attend university, she’s genuinely honest.

Though she’s a bit slow at work, she’s diligent, can work from morning until night, very reliable, but under such conditions, probably wouldn’t even get through the resume screening in an interview.

But in a family focusing on emotions, judged by old standards, what a decent young lady!

Just for that, we know—it’s best to find someone steady to spend life with.

Can Zhou Tianyu make it?
