Volume 1 Chapter 0083 Matchmaker
"Old soldier, my sister-in-law and the two children will live here from now on. You two can help each other out. You can help with the moving and she can help with the washing. You two can complement each other."
After Zuo Can came back from outside, Nan Yi called everyone together and introduced them formally to each other.
"Zuo Can."
Zuo Can still maintained his simple and cold style and nodded to Xu Xiaofang .
"Xu Xiaofang, this is my son Fan Qianye, and this is my daughter Fan Hongdou. Brother Zuo, please take care of her in the future." Xu Xiaofang introduced herself very formally.
"Okay, you can get to know each other better in the future. It's almost time, I have to go back to school. Sister-in-law, I will come to pick you up early the day after tomorrow."
"OK."
"Hongdou, uncle is gone."
"Goodbye, uncle."
After saying hello, Nan Yi walked out of the courtyard. When he was about to leave the alley, he turned around and looked towards the courtyard gate.
"A good man and a good woman, both helpless, living under the same roof, if things develop in a normal way, they will definitely spark love.
Alas, as a matchmaker, I have contributed both money and effort, and I am truly a man of high moral character, a man of virtue, and a man of integrity... well, please be frugal with your good words, as there are still many more to come."
Nan Yi muttered to himself and hummed a song, "Sister is looking for her brother with tears in her eyes, she is worried when she can't see her brother, she longs for her relatives with her eyes worn out, flowers bloom and fall for several years... My dear, do you know that there is a heart burning for you..."
"Hey, Nan Yi, you are actually singing lascivious music."
As soon as Nan Yi stepped into the school gate, Xu Qian jumped out. She really jumped, hopping and skipping.
"With your hands raised, mouth wide open, and jumping up and down, are you acting as a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a corpse driver from Xiangxi?"
"Nan Yi, have you ever seen ivory?" Xu Qian glanced at Nan Yi and said.
"No, I have opened a dog's mouth before."
"Hmph, you have lard on your lips - a smooth talker."
"You have thorns on your lips - your words are full of thorns." Nan Yi retorted directly.
"You really have no gentlemanly manners at all."
"Gentleman, isn't that something the foreigners have? Be careful or I'll summon the Mother of No Life to help you and destroy the foreigners."
"How poor!" Xu Qian spat, and said, "Where are you going this weekend? If you have nothing to do, come with me to the Friendship Store for a stroll."
"Well, what a coincidence! I have to accompany my relative to the hospital for a medical check-up this weekend. Besides, Miss Xu, you need a passport to enter the Friendship Store, and I don't have one."
"What's there to be afraid of? I have my passport. I can just say you're with me. The inspection isn't strict."
"Then next time, I will dress respectably and go with you to see the Western scenery."
"Then next weekend, is that okay?" Xu Qian looked at Nan Yi expectantly, afraid that he would say "no".
"Okay, next weekend then."
The Friendship Store has been open for sixteen years, but Nan Yi has never been there once, neither the current one nor the original one.
He did read in the newspaper that foreign exchange coupons would be issued starting from April 1 this year.
In the future, when foreigners come here, they must first take their foreign currency to the National Bank and exchange it for foreign exchange coupons before they can consume in the country.
There are actually business opportunities here. The domestic foreign exchange rate is rather unfair, and the value of the RMB is inflated. When foreigners exchange foreign exchange coupons, they will suffer a loss in the exchange rate, and then when they use the foreign exchange coupons for consumption, the prices will also be a bit higher.
There must be some smart people who will go to foreigners to exchange RMB for foreign currency, which is slightly higher than the official exchange rate. These smart people are actually the foreign exchange dealers at the entrance of the Overseas Personnel Service Center.
Nan Yi thought about it for a moment and gave up. He couldn't do this kind of business.
Another mistake!
"Then we have a deal, don't stand me up."
"Won't."
Nan Yi said goodbye to Xu Qian and came to the classroom. As soon as he sat down, Wu Renpin came up to him and said, "Yesterday, Meifeng and I talked about Xiaowei's future marriage. Meifeng said that Ruoyin is very good, and I think she is not bad either. How about we have a baby marriage?"
"My sister-in-law is very beautiful."
"What does it mean? It's so nonsensical?" Wu Renpin was confused.
"You're dreaming! Pah, you want to steal my Nan family's treasure with just one sentence?"
"So what do you want? I'll give you a betrothal gift?"
"As a college student in the new era, how can you still talk about such feudal dregs as child marriage? Men and women should be together because of their beliefs, not because of their parents' orders or matchmakers' words.
You, you, you really should be taken to a study class."
"What do you mean?"
The mystery surrounding Wu Renpin is getting thicker!
"The training class organized by the police station is specifically for people like you." Nan Yi replied, then opened the book and started reading attentively.
Just now Wu Renpin mentioned child marriage. Nan Yi really wanted to give him a set of "Return Your Beauty" punches, as he actually dared to covet the baby he had carefully nurtured.
Wu Renpin is getting carried away!
If he could become a full-time health care doctor someday, Nan Yi would consider it, but it would only be a perfunctory consideration. He had no intention of interfering in Nan Ruoyin's future marriage.
Nan Yi was concentrating on reading when he suddenly heard a knock on the table. He looked up and saw the leader of their political economics class standing on the podium.
Ren Xia, who was standing on the podium, saw that everyone's eyes were on her, so she said, "I have something to tell you. Tomorrow a reporter from the Chinese TV station will come to interview you. Remember to wear something more modest. Especially for Nan Yi, don't wear anything with patches tomorrow."
"Got it." Being called out, Nan Yi could only reply.
American TV?
ABC, NBC, and CBS should be one of the three, with NBC being the most likely.
"We should be polite when facing foreign guests. Students being interviewed need to pay attention to international influence. Diplomacy is no small matter. We should not lose our national dignity and personality. We should be positive and realistic when answering reporters' questions."
Nan Yi understood Ren Xia's subtext, and could simply summarize it in one sentence: Don't say what you shouldn't say.
After Ren Xia left, Wu Renpin excitedly said to Nan Yi: "Foreign journalists, I haven't seen them yet. I don't know what they look like."
"He shouldn't be disabled. He has one nose and two eyes, just like us."
"This is a foreigner, aren't you curious?"
"What are you curious about? Haven't you seen it? Aren't there many places like Wangfujing, Jiaodaokou, and Guijie?"
"How can that be the same? This is a reporter. It would be nice if they could interview me tomorrow. No, I need to practice my spoken English. Reporters should speak English when interviewing, right?"
Wu Renpin became incoherent.
Most of the students in the class were similar to him, practicing English conversations in pairs.
The first group of trendsetters who have opened their eyes to the world are probably looking forward to meeting distinguished foreign journalists tomorrow.
In this day and age, journalists are people that ordinary people look up to. A journalist ID card can open many doors that isolate ordinary people from the outside world, as if they are all privileged.
Adding the word "foreign" in front of the title of journalist is even more amazing.
