The next day, Pei Donglai came to the county bank to report. President Wang said: "Xiao Pei, although you have rich work experience, you have just arrived and you have to start from the grassroots level. Is there any problem?"
Pei Donglai nodded: "No problem, it should be."
The business of the county bank is not complicated, just simple deposits, loans and a few intermediary businesses. Compared with the previous business of Jiangcheng Bank, it is much simpler.
It took Pei Donglai two days to become completely familiar with all the businesses of the county bank. First, he had previous experience, and second, he had a high IQ.
Working at a county bank basically doesn't require overtime, and you work from 9 to 5 every day. The salary is pretty good for the local area, around 10,000.
After work, Pei Donglai not only cooks with his mother, but also fishes with his father. Many of his childhood classmates have left their hometown, and a few of them who are local have gradually become strangers because they have not been in contact for a long time.
In addition to cooking for the two men, Pei's mother also looks for a suitable girl for her son.
But Pei Donglai was unwilling to go on a blind date and used working overtime as an excuse to avoid it every time.
As time went by, Pei Donglai couldn't hide anymore when he saw his mother becoming increasingly unhappy.
One day, Pei's mother called Pei Donglai in advance and told her son not to work overtime at night and to come to Jubaolou for dinner after get off work.
Although Pei's mother didn't say it clearly, Pei Donglai guessed that it must be another blind date.
Although there were ten thousand reluctances in his heart, Pei Donglai went to Jubao Building after get off work because he was afraid that his mother would be sad.
Jubaolou is the best hotel in the area, and most of the major receptions in the county are here.
When he arrived at the private room, Pei Donglai saw his mother and an aunt chatting happily. Sitting next to them was a girl with long hair, a pretty face, and a very well-behaved appearance.
Pei Donglai thought that this should be his blind date.
"Let me introduce you. This is my son Pei Donglai. He is 28 years old this year. He graduated from a 985 key university. He once worked in big cities. Because of my poor health, I asked him to come back. He is currently working in a county bank."
Pei Donglai suppressed his laughter and thought to himself: "My mother really doesn't have a draft when she brags."
Pei's mother then introduced the girl and the girl's mother to Pei Donglai.
The girl’s name is Li Xin, she is 25 years old and is a primary school teacher in the county.
Pei Donglai took the initiative to greet the girl. When he shook hands, the girl's face turned red.
At this time, Pei's mother said: "In-laws, I heard that there is a performance in the county tonight, let's go and see it."
Mother Li: "Okay, it's quite lively there."
After the two left, Pei Donglai and Li Xin were the only ones left in the room. Li Xin was a little shy. Pei Donglai took the lead and asked, "Li Xin, are you really here for the blind date?"
Li Xin shook her head and said, "My mother forced me to come."
Pei Donglai: "I was forced to come here by my mother. Let's sit here for half an hour before leaving. They must be guarding downstairs now."
Li Xin smiled and nodded.
Seeing that Li Xin was very restrained, Pei Dong came and said, "You can do whatever you want and don't worry about me."
Li Xin: "Although we are forced, let's get to know each other and just make friends."
Pei Donglai felt that what Li Xin said was reasonable and nodded.
Pei Donglai said: "What my mother said just now is true. It's true that I graduated from a key university, but I came back because I couldn't survive in a big city, and I was divorced."
Li Xin smiled and said: "You are very honest. I like to make friends with such people."
"What about you?" Pei Donglai asked.
Li Xin: "I have never been to a big city. The furthest I have been to a provincial capital. I studied at a normal university there. After graduation, I came back to work in an elementary school in the county. I had a boyfriend before, but we broke up when I graduated." .
The two chatted and an hour passed. Pei Dong came and said, "It's almost time. I'll take you home."
Li Xin: "Don't you like chatting with me?"
Pei Donglai didn't expect Li Xin to ask this, so he shook his head and said, "No, I'm afraid of delaying you."
The two went downstairs, and Pei Donglai drove Li Xin to the gate of the community.
Pei Donglai said: "We have completed the process. I know what to say when we get back."
"What did you say? That you don't like me?" Li Xin asked.
"No, of course I wouldn't say that. I would just say that we are not suitable."
"Oh", Li Xin was a little disappointed.
Pei Donglai was about to leave, but Li Xin signaled to wait a moment.
"Is there anything else? Li Xin."
"Let's add WeChat," Li Xin said, opening the QR code for Pei Dong to scan.
After adding WeChat, Li Xin said a little embarrassedly: "Can we be friends?"
Pei Donglai: "Of course."
Li Xin turned around and left happily.
After returning home, Pei's mother came over to "interrogate", "How is it? Son."
In order not to make his mother sad, Pei Donglai said: "It's okay."
Pei's mother: "Li Xin is a very good girl. You have to treat her well. Her father is a small leader in the county and her mother is also a teacher. The family conditions are quite good."
Pei Donglai felt strange that Li Xin was three years younger than him. This county was so small. Why hadn't he seen her when he was in school?
Pei's mother said: "Li's father used to have a very strong patriarchal mentality. Seeing that Li Xin was a girl, he didn't want her. Li's mother had no choice but to send her to her grandmother's house in County A. Li Xin studied there and grew up. I came back after I was older."
Alas..., Pei Donglai sighed, isn't the girl bad? At least girls don't have to worry about not being able to get married, but boys, on the other hand, have no ability and will never be able to find a wife in their lifetime.
In the evening, Li Yunfeng sent a video, "Long time no see, wooden man," Pei Donglai joked.
At this time, Bai Xiaoran suddenly appeared in the video and said, "You are just stupid."
"Hey, you guys are living together?"
"I'll get my things and leave right away. Senior brother, do you plan to stay in your hometown for the rest of your life? Are you coming to Jiangcheng yet?"
"I will definitely come when you get married."
"Nerve, you can talk to Yunfeng, I'm busy." Bai Xiaoran left the screen.
"Yunfeng, that's right. Didn't you say you won't do that thing until you get married? What? You can't control it so quickly?"
"We just live together, not sleep together."
"Can that be called cohabitation? At most, it can only be shared housing."
"My house is not rented," and then Li Yunfeng added: "It should be called shared living."
"Yunfeng, let me tell you, don't be stubborn. You have to live together when you should. If you don't try it out before marriage, how can you know if it's suitable? Why bother yourself? Why bother Xiaoran? We are all adults and have it. needs, and at the same time, this is also the most basic respect for your girlfriend."
Pei Donglai was only talking and didn't pay attention to watching the video. When he realized it, Xiao Ran had reappeared in the screen.
"Brother, you are so dirty, just like Zhou Defei. I hate you so much."
Pei Donglai didn't expect that Bai Xiaoran heard all the words he just said. At this moment, he really wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
After hanging up the video, Zhang Yutong's video was sent over. "Who were you chatting with just now? It took so long," Zhang Yutong complained.
"Yunfeng and his wife," Zhang Yutong raised her crooked mouth after hearing that it was Yunfeng.
Zhang Yutong said proudly: "I will go find you after I finish my work."
Pei Donglai: "Yutong, I advise you not to come. The conditions here are too bad and you won't be able to adapt."
"I've been to the countryside, what are you afraid of? Have you found a girlfriend in your hometown? I'm not welcome here."
"No, welcome."
"I will definitely come, wait for me."
