Check In System In The 70s

87

The matchmaker actually arrived at the place of the educational youth team in such cold weather. Seeing how his teeth were to find where the house was, it was obvious the rewards he would receive were not small.

But the persistence he made was actually in vain when he met the educational youth who lived there.

"What's? That girl doesn't live here? But he said he was an educational youth?" ask the matchmaker in surprise.

Obviously this information was given directly by the person concerned, but why did the girl not leave in the place of youth education.

"Oh, he actually built his own house, and it was only a few steps away from the village chief's house" said a girl with a slightly sullen face.

Kiki used to be not so popular, but lately there are so many people who ask educational youth about the background and also the character of Kiki.

But now the matchmaker came directly to ask.

Hey, everyone actually has their own fate.

"Oh, if so, Auntie will go first to search for her house," said the matchmaker with an annoyed and embarrassed face.

When the matchmaker left, Gu Lenglei who had just come out immediately whispered, "Kiki is so popular lately right, Fang Yan, aren't you moved?"

Fang Yan who was behind him only snorted and turned around to enter his room again.

If Kiki is now becoming more popular, so what does that have to do with the youth education team, especially with her?

Fang Yan looked at the roof, he was like he was thinking about the past.

"Kiki is like a star that I will never be able to reach" he said in his heart.

Honestly, Fang Yan still held a taste in Kiki. But the last time he turned his face away. Kiki is a girl who is committed to herself so stubbornly that she can even give up a reputation for what she believes in.

A thought that Fang Yan could not understand.

Gu Lenglei did not know when to go in and sit on his bed. He snorted at Fang Yan.

"Ayan, your thinking is so ancient, it's true that Kiki has a bad reputation because of that incident, but it's not her will either. This does not mean that Kiki is a bad girl" Gu Lenglei said.

Fang Yan was silent, but wasn't everyone like that, putting a reputation ahead of everything?

So what he was thinking was actually not wrong either.

"I've heard of an almost similar incident, haha can't be said to be similar anyway but come closer," Gu Lenglei said.

He told a story that happened a few years before they came to this village.

A teenage girl falls in the river and happens to be helped by a 2nd class young man or a market thug. Actually, the person only took the initiative to help, but the girl did not accept and considered her body and reputation bad after the incident.

Moreover, he became a byword in the village for days. At home the girl was also beaten up by her family and said she was the source of problems in the family.

So the girl was forcibly married to her savior. Again the girl became a byword for marrying a bad man.

"But that's the villagers, when the girl doesn't want to get married, they will desperately push her to go get married, but after marriage they will also censure her for not being able to find a bad husband."

Such a marriage will not produce good results. The girl was beaten every day, the beating did not even stop when she was pregnant. But one day, the residents soon broke out to find that one family from the house actually died from drinking poison.

He said the poison was deliberately sprinkled by him on food, and this news soon made the village stir again.

So what's wrong with that girl?

"Kiki was right to reject such a marriage. Her forced marriage would definitely never bear sweet fruit. I feel Kiki is a special and wonderful girl because she dares to defy people's opinions on behalf of a reputation" Gu Lenglei said.

But Gu Lenglei had instead underestimated the old-fashioned thinking Fang Yan.

This is funny because the state situation no longer supports such feudal thinking. Even if someone is caught thinking in my own way, this can also be reported and get a prison sentence.

But why do so many people never think again.

Fang Yan did not reply at all, it was indeed difficult to change one's way of thinking. And this was what happened to Fang Yan.

But when Gu Lenglei told her the tragic story, she also started to think, whether her wrong way of thinking was actually.

While Fang Yan was trying to understand Kiki's personality, the matchmaker who had previously asked, had now found the door of Kiki's house thanks to the instructions from the village chief.

Geck, tok, tok...

Not long after the door was knocked, someone opened the door, and it was Lin Jin, who had just returned from his homeland two days before this.

"Hello, is this you, Xi ximei?" ask the matchmaker.

Lin Jin shook his head and said, "No, but he's inside."

Matchmakers have a lot of prestige among the citizens. According to them, someone with the title Matchmaker is not someone you can drive away. It also concerns the reputation and good name of the person he comes to. Because of this, matchmakers are allowed to enter the house, let alone weather that really does not support to linger in the doorway.

Soon Kiki's room door was knocked. What Lin Jin said made Kiki become dizzy herself. But Kiki still has to be polite, while the family is sitting in the living room. Meanwhile, Lin Jin went to take the agglo to heat up the room.

You know, a kang bed is not so big, it can only warm one person. So the living room and other rooms can only be warmed with aglo.

"Auntie, I'm Xu ximei, but auntie can call me Kiki really" Kiki said without a smile.

But basic matchmaker, he looked at Kiki's teeth from top to bottom and then began to launch praises. "Oh, so this is what Kiki is called, it's worth Kang Yuan being fascinated, hehehe."

"Kang Yuan's? Who's she?" asked Lin Jin who had already come up with a portable heater.

Actually, this matchmaker feels Kiki is not so good, because in winter like this .Usually the house people will invite guests to talk on the kang, because the location is the warmest place. But this girl did not intend to take him there, instead carrying a portable heater.

But because of his intentions, then he had to say something sweet for this job to be smooth. "Hahaha, has Auntie not told you yet? Ohh I'm sorry if Bibi forgot, she was a worker at a shoe factory in town. Although only a temporary job, but he is very promising, loh"

The way he spoke as if this person was his own son was no one else. This is something that cannot be learned in an instant.

"His family also had a background in working in a factory, so if you marry him, your life will be fine, and you won't have to hoe and plow again in the fields." again with sparkling eyes.

The more he spoke, the more information was emphasized in Kiki's ears, as if there was no better man than the man offered earlier. Kiki did not say anything, just let him say something that he thought was good earlier.

Meanwhile, Lin Jin came again with a glass of hot brown sugar water.

"Oh, good boy, I heard you two are educational lads huh?" ask her back. However once his eyes fell on Lin Jin who he thought had a better character compared to Kiki.

Lin Jin had already bothered to bring him a portable heater, and now also brought himself a glass of warm water, in contrast to Kiki who just sat with him and did not offer him a single glass of hot water.

"Yes, aunt, me and Kiki are both educational youths. Ah, the man introduced by Aunt seems like a good candidate for a future husband. But unfortunately I already have a fiancee at home," said Lin Jin who instantly blocked the matchmaker's wish.

Soon his eyes that had been shining brightly suddenly became dim for a moment.

Kiki wanted to laugh, but she just kept her mouth shut for fear the matchmaker would be offended and her reputation would only get worse.

"Well, what a shame, because Auntie wants to give has some good candidates, and Aunty thinks there must be a time when one of them is suitable for you, but if you already have a partner ,it's okay," said the matchmaker again, who again showed off his best smile.

"Ohh, son Kiki, does not have a partner yet, Kang Yuan also does not have a partner, and he can be said to be an established man. A few weeks ago her mother met Kiki in the city, so she liked and asked. So, auntie just lengthened the word" she said in seriousness

"Who is he? I've never met a woman specifically in the City. Is aunt sure she fits me?" said Kiki who was surprised, but just pretended.

"Of course, you're from the city and educated. So, you are so compatible with Kang Yuan. This could be said to be like a pot that met with the lid, hehehehe," replied the matchmaker again with a serious answer.

"Yes, auntie, I actually did not reject the candidate that Bibi said this to me, but I once had skin-to-skin contact with a man in the village. There are also problems with lifestyle. Not only that, I've been abused by several men at once. It's nothing, if the parties there can accept the conditions, then I agree," Kiki said as if complaining.

The matchmaker immediately pale to hear it. He had no idea Kiki had such a big problem.

Soon Kiki added oil to the fire by saying, "Auntie, I like the couple on offer, but will she stay at my house? This house I gave myself and the cost is not cheap either. Too bad to be left out."

Ling Jin initially did not want to interfere, but he could catch a glimpse that Kiki did not like.

"Oh, what about that, auntie? Kiki also has a talent for making money. So, he who is married in this house is the same, right?"

The implication is to be the party that enters the house. If Kiki goes to the best house, it means that Kiki will get married, but if the party who entered the house, the meaning will be different.

In this village it is referred to as "boy-in-law". Everything that will happen in this household will be monopolized by the women, including in the decision and also the last name of the children. Such men are also numerous, but their lives are more often denigrated and derided for life, such as someone who has no self-esteem.

Kiki did not refuse, instead telling the advantages of what he had in the house. In the end, the matchmaker could not say anything. But he felt a tightness in his soul.

"Kiki, with the reputation that you have, you think you rarely meet this man married you. So it doesn't make any sense at all" he said with a restraining temper.

"Auntie, this is the problem. Auntie told my condition to the other party. If they agree, okay, we'll make a black and white letter with several witnesses, including the village chief and also the police station."

Immediately, the matchmaker felt a fire in his butt. So he no longer felt the bone-chilling cold. However, he immediately left Kiki's house without any further ado.

Only after the matchmaker left did Kiki and Ling Jin laugh out loud. Why can it be so funny. They both laughed crisply, but never thought that it was just the beginning of all this trouble.

Tomorrow, another matchmaker comes again. And everything was like a dejavu, until Kiki forbade Ling Jin from opening the door, there was also someone unknown knocking on the door again.

Fucking matchmaker.
