After Qi Taiguo came back the next day, Cheng Su told him about the request from her aunt and the others to come over and visit.
"My aunt is still her usual old self, treating everyone like they owe her something. But what surprised me was that Weiqiu seems to have grown up a bit and knows how to tone herself down!" Cheng Su said.
Qi Taiguo pondered slightly and then said, "I reckon Weiqiu is scared."
"Hmm?" Cheng Su didn’t understand.
"Previously, when Weixia left, all the Deng family matters fell on her. She hasn’t been able to even talk about marriage in these two years. Can she not be afraid? Now that Weixia is back, she definitely wants to plan for herself!" Qi Taiguo sighed.
Cheng Su suddenly understood and laughed: "If she can see reality clearly and compromise, then it’s not helpless. What’s scary is someone like her mom, still unable to see the situation and reality, still wanting to put on airs, not realizing how cruel reality can sometimes be."
"So, what do you think about her job? And about finding her a partner? Speaking of jobs, there are plenty of opportunities now; I’m just afraid she’ll be picky and not willing to work. But finding a partner isn’t easy to fake, as it concerns a lifetime matter." Cheng Su added, finding a job is easier to deal with, just find some place to put her. But when it comes to a partner, if not done properly, it could lead to a lifetime of resentment!
Qi Taiguo said, "I’ll arrange the job. It just so happens that our unit’s canteen needs helpers; let’s see if she’s willing to go, though it’s not something prestigious, washing and chopping are definitely required."
Cheng Su’s eyes twinkled and said, "I think it’s not bad, it’s within the army, ultimately an affair of Grandpa’s, and it includes meals. If she’s lucky, maybe she could hit it off with a soldier!"
Qi Taiguo laughed after hearing this: "How did you come up with this idea, hitting two birds with one stone?"
"You know you have a lot of bachelors around, and Deng Weiqiu is somewhat good-looking. If she doesn’t act up, she’s not bad-looking. As long as her standards aren’t too high, is there any worry she can’t get married?" Cheng Su chuckled and said.
Qi Taiguo thought about it and agreed with her to an extent; now that Weixia is back, the burden on Deng Weiqiu’s shoulders has lessened. If she can really lower her standards, she’s indeed not impossible to marry off.
"I’ll talk to Aunt about it later."
Cheng Su nodded in agreement.
