The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

The girl who came for the blind date was finally persuaded by Lan Lan. She took a bag and poured all the melon seeds, peanuts and fruit candies on the table into it.

"Aunt, they put all these things there to entertain me. I can't finish them in a short time, so just take them away. That's all for today's matchmaking. We are not suitable for each other. If your family is willing to buy me a job as a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative, we can still discuss this matter."

Chao Yao snatched it away and said, "Comrade, even soldiers don't take anything from the masses. This is the first time we meet. You have taken much more than just a needle and a thread."

She simply emptied the contents of the bag into a new bag and threw it directly into the cupboard.

Lan Lan and the others just watched and did not stop them.

The girl got anxious and she took a quick step forward to grab it.

Chao Yao pushed her over and shouted:

"Comrade, you have to think it through. We have a man in our family, so at most we can just wait a few more years to find a date. But you are a lesbian, so it's different. If your reputation of snatching food from a man's family gets out, there will be no more people lining up to propose marriage to you in the future."

"Do you know that as a sister-in-law, you are blocking your brother's marriage?"

Chao Jianguo suddenly stood up and said to the girl:

"Lady, we are poor and we really can't afford the job you want. Since you said the matchmaking is over, please leave. As you can see, our house is small and can't accommodate so many people. As for my sister, she can do whatever she wants. This is how our family spoils her. The child is still young and can't do the things you mentioned. Lady, please don't say anything unpleasant to her."

Just now, when the girl was about to pack the things on the table into the bag that had been prepared long ago, the matchmaker sat beside her without saying a word. Chao Yao saw shock in her eyes.

In the past, she always took the man to the woman's house to meet the man, but this girl took the initiative to go to the man's house to take a closer look at the specific situation.

I had heard from others that she took care of her younger brothers and sisters by herself and kept the house in tidiness, and I always thought this was a good thing, but I didn't expect her to do such a thing.

These days, everyone is short of food and clothing, but everyone has the ambition to never be poor!

If others look down on you, how will they look at you in the future?

Chao Jianguo politely asked them all to leave, but the girl was reluctant to leave and stared at the cabinet.

The matchmaker was so angry that her eyes widened and she pulled her out.

Even after walking a long way out, Chao Yao could still hear the matchmaker scolding the girl:

"You are so short-sighted. If you marry into this family, how many peanuts, melon seeds, and candies will you have? Why do you have to grab a plate of them?"

The girl was a little angry. "This family doesn't even arrange a job for me, so why should I marry into their family? If I don't make some money while I can, I'll never make any money again! Besides, look at their family. They wear such shabby clothes, just like me. They must be really poor!"

"Get, get, get! You only know how to get! If your mother hadn't told me so many times, do you think I would do something as outrageous as today? Poor, poor, poor! Have you ever seen a poor family raise their daughters and sons to be so tall and strong?"

The matchmaker became angrier and angrier as she spoke. "As for Chao Jianguo, I have to look up until my neck is so tired that I can see his face clearly. He must be at least 1.9 meters tall. Is that height for nothing? If there is not enough food at home, do you think he can be taller than 1.6 meters?"

The girl was persuaded again. "What should I do? Go back and apologize to their family?"

"What's the point of apologizing? Forget it, you won't have any trouble finding a husband with your conditions, just find another one."

After listening to their conversation, Chaoyao lay on the bed, holding her stomach and laughing.

Lan Lan said unhappily: "Stop laughing. It will be bad if someone hears you."

"Mom, are you still anxious to get my brother married?"

Lan Lan didn't say anything.

Chao Wujun advised, "Some schools have resumed classes now, and maybe you can take the college entrance examination in the future. The country needs talents, and it is impossible to suspend classes and schools forever. If Jianguo doesn't want to meet, then don't meet. Wait for another two years. After all, he is still young."

Chao Jianguo also advised: "Mom, if I can take the college entrance examination in the future, I must seize this opportunity. If I get married by then, I won't be able to leave freely whenever I want."

Lan Lan sighed.

"I don't have to urge you to get married at this time. Good girls have been chosen long ago. In our current situation, we can't go too far, and the only one we can choose is someone local. I'm just too anxious, afraid that you won't have a good life in the future. If you can have someone who knows you and understands you, then you won't be so lonely and you'll have hope for the future."

Chao Jianguo smiled and said, "Mom, if you marry someone who is troublesome, your life will be hopeless and you will just be dealing with trivial matters every day."

"Whose life isn't filled with trivialities? If a relationship is passionate, it won't last long. How can a person's emotions always be at their peak? Only a steady flow of love can help you go further and further."

Chao Yao saw Lan Lan looking sad, so he walked over and put his arms around her waist and acted coquettishly.

"Mom, don't worry too much. My brother is still young, and you never know who he will meet in the future. Just like Dad said, the country will open up the college entrance examination in the future. When my brother goes to college, he will meet college students who can go to school. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, why are you worrying about him! Think more about your daughter. She is hungry now. Can she eat frozen cabbage with sauce today?"

"You, you just do whatever your brother says. I wonder if you will have to listen to your brother when choosing a partner in the future!"

Lan Lan said these harsh words, but she was still smiling.

She turned to Chao Jianguo and said seriously, "I'll give you five more years at most. If you still haven't made up your mind by the time you're 23, I'll make you go look for a date every day! After all, the college entrance examination is unpredictable. If there's no word from above, we can only wait one more day."

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. I'll do as you say."

Chao Jianguo’s attitude was very good, so Lan Lan got up to cook for the whole family.

For a long time afterwards, if someone introduced a girl to Chao Jianguo, Lan Lan would find all kinds of reasons to refuse.

She knows how to behave, speaks nicely and rarely offends others.

In this way, Chao Jianguo remained single for another two years.

Chaoyao signed up for high school as soon as it resumed. She wanted to be in the first batch of college students and realize the boast she made when she was a child: to get into Qingdao University and go to Beijing University!

But all this suddenly changed when Chao Yao was fourteen years old.

It was a summer night and everyone was asleep.

Chao Yao suddenly heard vibrations coming from far away, one wave after another, deafening.

She woke up instantly, and used all her strength, adding all her spiritual power to shout at the widest range within her reach:

"There's an earthquake! Run!"

"Run!"
