Because tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone at "Su Ji" will have a day off, so there are many details to deal with. As the shopkeeper, Su Qingluan had to be the last one to leave in order to prevent details from going wrong at this time, so it was already dark when he returned home.
As soon as she got home, she heard Mr. Yang say to her: "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, do you want to go out for an outing with girls of the same age? For example, the one from the Tian family..."
As soon as he heard this, Su Qingluan understood: Come on, it's another blind date. After all, it had been so long since time travel. Although Yang would occasionally suggest that she go out to relax and have fun, she would never suggest a specific "someone".
If the suggestion "Go out with a friend" appears inadvertently in her mouth, no need to think about it, the subtext of this sentence must be "This time I have found a good boy for you, you want to Don’t go and have a look, it’s just the younger person from the older person’s family” and so on.
In Su Qingluan's previous life, her master, master, and adoptive father and mother had passed away before she went to college. After college, she had been lingering on the sick bed, so many times, whether it was her classmates at school or some elders she met after graduation, compared to "this Topics such as "When will the girl find someone", and more blessings are "Don't think so much, relax and you will get better faster."
Compared with whether he can survive to the next year, for Su Qingluan in his previous life, getting married and having children were too far away topics.
Therefore, in her previous life, Su Qingluan did not have the opportunity to experience the "marriage urging topic" that was avoided by many young people for various reasons.
But as the saying goes, "it's yours sooner or later, you can't escape it." Su Qingluan has experienced the "rushing for marriage and blind date" that she never experienced in her previous life, and it was a high-density kind.
This year, according to the age counting method of this era, Su Qingluan will be fifteen years old and hair-haired. Although Su Qingluan's fifteenth birthday in this era is still some time away, from the perspective of people in this era, as long as she enters the year of "fifteenth", it means that a girl can reach the age of marriage.
What's more, in this era, there is no such thing as "three years to start, the maximum penalty is death". Many girls are sent to their "husband's family" as child brides when they are under ten years old or even very young. It is not uncommon for people to consummate their marriages at the age of twelve or thirteen.
In fact, strictly speaking, although Yang frequently arranged "blind dates", Su Qingluan felt that Yang and Su Guangfu were already rare "enlightened parents" in this era.
First of all, the two of them did not "buy and sell by force" based on the "parents' orders and matchmaker's words". In fact, according to the folk customs of this era, if both parents fall in love with the man's family, and the man falls in love with the woman's family, they can completely implement an "arranged marriage" without going through the younger generation's own wishes.
In this era, this kind of marriage not only does not cause any criticism, but is the most "reasonable and natural" process.
But Su Guangfu and Yang fully respect Su Qingluan's opinions. As long as she doesn't want to, Su Guangfu and Yang will not force her even if they feel that she can't do it. They will even comfort her and say that fifteen is not too old. Many people She didn't get married until she was eighteen or nineteen, and she lived quite well.
Although in modern people's thinking, neither the fifteen-year-old nor the eighteen-year-old has reached the "legal age for marriage" in a strict sense. It can be said that they are at the level of the eldest brother Mo Xiao and the second brother.
However, in this era where the average age is only over 40 years old, and 60 or 70 years are considered "old life", it is not easy to be able to comfort one's daughter to wait a few more years.
Secondly, Su Guangfu and Yang did not believe in the idea that "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue". Both of them have experienced hardship and poverty, and they support three children with their own hands. So they understand better that "making money" is a very important thing for ordinary people.
Relatively speaking, those bullshit "female virtues" and the like are worthless bullshit before the issue of food and clothing. Therefore, they never asked Su Qingluan to stay at home to take care of her husband and raise children if she got married, or to let go of the business she had started or hand it over to others.
In Yang's words: "The money you earn belongs to you. How can there be any argument about pushing money outside? Those who want their sons to take over the store that my daughter worked so hard to run don't look in the mirror and see how much they weigh. How many taels?"
The most important thing is that neither Su Guangfu nor the Yang family once asked "if you get married, you will change yourself in this way". Their request for Su Qingluan was just to be "safe and sound".
As for such an intensive "blind date bureau", it is just based on the mentality of "getting a good blind date sooner rather than later", hoping that she will find a satisfactory partner as soon as possible.
After all, for women in this era, although they can remain unmarried and start their own families, the objective environment and the various social and personal problems they have to face are much more severe.
Su Qingluan has also considered this issue. Although giving birth to a child in this era is a close call, she checked various information about this era and found that if you don't marry and start your own business, you will basically face the same difficult environment.
The most important thing is that if she does not marry, it is often difficult for the "industry" she has accumulated to remain in her hands when she gets older - because although she has "money" now, it is difficult for her to There is a trustworthy "heir".
So whether Su Qingluan wants it or not, she has to have a child - a child who can inherit all her property.
In this day and age, the option of "having a child out of wedlock" is completely out of the question. Let's not talk about whether it is allowed by law. In any environment, "the father is unknown" will be talked about behind the back at least, and at worst it will be slandered. The pig cage sinks into the pond.
Su Qingluan doesn't want to challenge the laws of this era, because she doesn't have that much ability now - unless she is the kind of eldest princess who is the only aunt of the current young emperor who is unparalleled in honor and favor among thousands of people. set up.
...But compared to this kind of personality, the probability of dreaming about finding a husband who meets all the requirements is higher.
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan couldn't help but scratch her head: Although she is very lucky, her father and mother in this life are neither weird nor stubborn nor feudal and old-fashioned, and are even very reasonable.
In Su Qingluan's view, these young men, who are no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, are all children who have not yet grown up. Although she is still a fifteen-year-old "girl" on the surface, after all, she has lived two lifetimes and is almost thirty years old.
Although she also wants to "be a painless mother", the person she wants to be a mother should not be the person she calls "husband" in this life!
Thinking about going on an outing for the first time in her life, Su Qingluan didn't want to waste such a memorable and wonderful thing on wasting time with a young man, so she excused herself: "Mommy, I'm going to take this third trip tomorrow morning." Send out some rice dumplings, and here I put them away alone."
Because Mu Xingzhi came back late today, it was obviously too late to deliver the rice dumplings to Mu Xingzhi. But this also gave Su Qingluan an opportunity to escape the "blind date game".
However, it turned out that she was too simple.
