Yi Pingan felt a little hot. He had never been on a blind date before. This was the first time in his two lives. He turned his head and saw Meng Xiaoting twisting her fingers into a knot. Yi Pingan was no longer nervous. It was the first time, so who was afraid of who?

"Comrade Meng Xiaoting, let me introduce myself first. My name is Yi Ping'an, I am 25 years old, born in March 39, and I am currently a fifth-level engineer. I have a father and a stepmother. My mother was killed by the Japanese when I was six years old."

Yi Ping'an felt that he was a man and he couldn't let the girl speak first, so he broke the silence first.

After hearing this, Meng Xiaoting also spoke up: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Meng Xiaoting, I am 21 years old, born in July 43. I am the only one in my family, an orphan."

Meng Xiaoting lowered her head after she finished speaking. With her current conditions, it was a bit difficult to find a partner. The wealthy families looked down on her, and the people from the poor families had nothing in common with her. The sons of the capitalists did want to marry her, but they were attracted by her status, so it was a bit difficult.

Yi Pingan felt a little uncomfortable seeing her like this. He had lived alone in this world for nearly ten years and knew very well how hard it was to live alone, so he said:

"I originally thought I was an orphan, but later I found out that I wasn't."

"Ah? Could there be a mistake?" Meng Xiaoting was surprised.

"Yes, I did. When I was still in my mother's belly, there was a flood in my hometown. My family fled for famine. My mother and father were separated by the bombing of the Japanese plane. Both of them were worried that the other was gone.

There was no way to find my relatives at that time, and later my mother passed away, so I became an orphan. I came to Sijiucheng after I was admitted to university, and it was only when I went to the Third Steel Rolling Mill to provide support that I found my father and recognized him. ”

Yi Ping'an told her about his recognition of his relatives. The girl was very touched and felt that it was really fate.

The conversation started little by little.

Meng Xiaoting: "Mr. Yi, do you work at the Third Steel Rolling Mill?"

Yi Pingan: "I was here before, but now I've been transferred."

Meng Xiaoting: "Where were you transferred to?"

Yi Pingan: "Keep it secret."

Meng Xiaoting: "Is your company in Sijiucheng?"

Yi Pingan: "In the Forty-Nine City."

Meng Xiaoting was a relative of a martyr, so she knew some things, so she didn't ask, but she was quite surprised. An engineer from a confidential unit? It seemed that the person Uncle Chen introduced to her was quite powerful.

Yi Pingan felt that he had exhausted the topic, so he explained, "I'm sorry, this is my job, and I don't have time to take care of the family. If... I mean, if we are together, you may have to support the family alone in the future.

My father is an eighth-level fitter at the Third Steel Rolling Mill, and my stepmother is unemployed. They are in good health now, so they should not need to be taken care of. Instead, they will take care of us.

But I can't guarantee it in the future. If you feel you can accept it, then we can continue. If you can't accept it, I can understand it. After all, this is the fact."

Meng Xiaoting raised her eyebrows: "Who are you looking down on? I am a martyr's relative. How can my awareness be so low? To be honest, I am quite satisfied with you. You have no problem taking care of the family. I have also lived on my own for ten years. Would I be afraid?"

Yi Pingan smiled: "Thank you for your understanding. I am also very satisfied with you. It's just that my time is limited. I only have time during the two days of the New Year. Comrade Meng Xiaoting, are you willing to be my revolutionary partner?"

Yi Ping'an follows the local customs. This is how marriage proposals are done nowadays. If it goes beyond the norm, it will make people suspicious. Also, as a man, how can he drag his feet?

"Comrade Yi Ping'an, I am willing to be your revolutionary partner, and we will go through thick and thin together." Meng Xiaoting is worthy of being a girl who grew up in the Northeast. She is so straightforward.

Yi Ping'an stretched out his right hand: "Please take care of me for the rest of my life."

"Please take care of me for the rest of my life." Meng Xiaoting also stretched out her right hand and held Yi Ping'an's hand, but they separated immediately after touching.

"Then I'll call you Xiaoting. It's too strange for comrades to come and go like this." Yi Ping'an just felt awkward.

"Okay, then I'll call you Ping An?" Meng Xiaoting also felt awkward.

Yi Pingan nodded: "Okay."

When the two chatted, they found that their personalities were quite similar and they had a lot of common topics. Meng Xiaoting shared the latest news in the hospital with Yi Ping'an. Yi Ping'an felt doubly cordial when listening to her familiar accent, and unknowingly she led Yi Ping'an into the ditch.

Meng Xiaoting laughed happily as she listened to Yi Ping'an's increasingly strong accent, and said, "Ping'an, most of the people in our group have learned Northeastern dialect from me, and now you too, hahaha."

Yi Ping'an was also quite helpless. It was difficult to change his accent even if he traveled through time. Before, Yi Ping'an always spoke Mandarin, and occasionally he would say a few words in Northeastern dialect. People would think he learned it when he was a child.

There were people from Northeast China in the team back then, and after staying in Northeast China for a few years, no one doubted him anymore. It seems that the common language in his family will probably be the Daliang accent from now on.

Deputy Minister Chen and Mrs. Chen were secretly peeking out from the kitchen. The man who ate the watermelon looked so skilled and it was really enjoyable to listen to. If the meal hadn't been ready, they would have listened for a while longer. But they were confident in their minds that this thing was done!

"Xiaoting, Yigong, come and have dinner." Mrs. Chen invited the two of them to have dinner, and the smile on her face was not restrained at all.

"Madam, you can just call me Ping'an." Yi Ping'an said quickly.

"Okay, don't call me Madam anymore. Just call me Auntie like Xiaoting does." Mrs. Chen also said.

"Yes, just call her aunt and call me uncle." Deputy Minister Chen also said.

"Okay, I understand." Yi Ping'an didn't object. They were relatives from now on, so there was no need to be so formal.

After having dinner at Chen's house, Yi Ping'an, under the "order" of Deputy Minister Chen, sent Meng Xiaoting back home. She now lives in the dormitory assigned by the hospital.

When Meng Xiaoting saw the car parked outside and the driver in the car, her pupils shrank and her heartbeat quickened significantly. It seemed that she had underestimated Yi Ping'an's status. Ordinary people would not be equipped with a car, and the driver was obviously a military man.

Uncle Chen didn't tell me about Yi Ping'an's job. It seemed that either he didn't know or he couldn't say it.

Meng Xiaoting swallowed her saliva and turned to look at Yi Ping'an. Her eyes were full of admiration, which confused Yi Ping'an. What did he mean? Why did he admire her all of a sudden? Are those who have cars real men?

Yi Pingan didn't think much about it. Not many people have cars in this era. It doesn't matter if you have money. You also need to be of high status. Yi Pingan opened the door and let Meng Xiaoting get in. He went to the other side and sat in the passenger seat.

Meng Xiaoting was very excited at this moment. Although she didn't know Yi Ping'an's specific work, she knew that he must be contributing to the country, so she must not be a drag. She made a decision in her heart: in the future, with her, Meng Xiaoting, at home, she would never let him be distracted. She would be a good wife and walk hand in hand with him.

Yi Ping'an sent Meng Xiaoting to the dormitory door, looked at the shy Meng Xiaoting, and said: "Xiaoting, are you free tomorrow? I want to take you back to my house. You know I don't have much time. I'm thinking... can we settle it as soon as possible."

Yi Ping'an was a little embarrassed. Would this be a bit bad? How could it be so quick when they met for the first time? But he really didn't have time. It was a fluke that he could come out now, but he couldn't go too far.

Yi Ping'an didn't know that blind dates were so quick at this time and some people could get the marriage certificate on the same day.

"Okay, I have an early shift tomorrow and can get off work at four in the afternoon." Meng Xiaoting was quite generous on this issue.

"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow. You go back and rest early. See you tomorrow." Yi Ping'an asked Meng Xiaoting to go back early. Only after watching her figure disappear around the corner did Yi Ping'an get in the car and leave.

Meng Xiaoting heard the car start to drive away, secretly poked her head out from the corner, looked at the taillights going away, smiled, and then skipped back to the dormitory.

She is living in a single room now. After all, she is the orphan of a martyr, and the hospital takes good care of her. Meng Xiaoting put the cloth bag on the table, lay on the bed, thinking about what happened tonight, and couldn't help laughing.

Yi Ping'an returned to the Yi family. He had to explain things clearly to his father as they would meet tomorrow.
