"So, you found a teacher for Big Brother!”
"Yeah, look at how good the teachers are. They're cultured and have good quality. Not only do they have decent jobs, but if they have children in the future, they can also give them an initial education.”
It could only be said that He Yu had a good plan. Teachers worked from nine to five and had many holidays. When the students were on holiday, the teachers would also be on holiday. Usually, a busy man would want to find a partner with regular working hours and more holidays to take care of the family. Ms. Ran was a primary school teacher, so her teaching duties were not as heavy as the duties of the teachers in the upper grades.
"Indeed. I will teach this to the children in the future. Brother, well done!" He Yushui patted He Yuheng. This younger brother of his had been smart since he was young and had never made others worry too much. Now that he had grown up, he could help worry about the family matters.
"But would the teacher like our brother? Like you said, he has a good family background, looks good, and is cultured. Big Brother…is far inferior to him…"
He Yushui woke up from her momentary excitement and voiced out her concerns worriedly. When looking for a partner, one could not just look at the other party's conditions. One had to consider one's own.
"Sis, I know what you mean. To put it bluntly, you just feel that brother and she are not of the right family. However, they had to meet each other first to get a preliminary understanding of each other. They would naturally decide if they were suitable or not.”
"That's true."
In the past, finding a partner was so simple and crude.
When they reached the age of marriage, the people around them would help to arrange things. They would find a good matchmaker to meet and get married, or they would find a good matchmaker to get along with. Then, they could directly get a marriage certificate.
Some people just liked each other." I like you. Let's get married."”
Some people just wanted to find a partner with similar conditions to live together." I think we're quite compatible. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate in a few days."”
It was not difficult to see that when it came to marriage, love occupied a very small part of the composition, or it was ranked behind. The first consideration was various personal conditions, such as the other party's occupation, income, family background, education, appearance, etc. The most important of which was, without exception, economic conditions.
Of course, the principle behind this was not difficult to explain. Marriage required living, and living was the daily necessities of life. Three meals a day, travel, travel, illness, childbirth, raising children, and so on. Everything needed money. A marriage without a certain economic foundation, no matter how much love there was, would bring all kinds of small problems to the marriage because of the weak economic foundation. In the end, the love between both parties would be worn away.
In the past, when people got married, it could be said that they were very clear-headed and fulfilled this point to the extreme. When looking for a marriage partner, the first thing they considered was almost all the favorable conditions that were beneficial to their married life.
In later generations, there was an mathematician who used an economic point of view to explain marriage. He said," Regardless of whether it's a man or a woman, marriage is an exchange between two families. The purpose is to maximize the resources of both parties. Therefore, men look forward to the family status and wealth of the first wife.”
If marriage was compared to running a business, both men and women would provide a resource package to raise the next generation at the lowest social cost. In this, women would pay earlier than men, and men would play a role later. It would usually be reflected in the age group of 30 or 40, specifically showing what kind of living conditions they could create for their family and children. From an economic point of view, marriage was closely related to personal interests. It was a little too straightforward and cold. There was no romance to speak of.
For literary works," a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets." It was the same for marriage in real life. A thousand people have a thousand different explanations of marriage. As for the prerequisites for marriage, what one valued most in marriage, and even whether to get married or not, these were all personal freedom. Everyone had different experiences and thoughts, so they would look at problems from different angles. Therefore, different people would make different choices. Some people paid more attention to bread, while others paid more attention to relationships. Of course, the best outcome was to have both.
If they wanted to get married, they believed that the world still hoped to find a partner that would make their hearts beat faster and spend the rest of their lives together. This partner must first have a good character, such as being reasonable and responsible. In the end, marriage was actually living with character. If one was independent enough, not only financially, but also spiritually, one could even be free and unrestrained without marriage.
For someone like his elder brother, He Yuzhu, it might not be possible to make people's hearts beat faster at first glance.
However, He Yuzhu had superb culinary skills. As the saying went," To capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach." This sentence was also applicable to other genders. When it came to the image of a man, the general impression of the world was always easily linked to words such as " tough " and " strong ". The word " cooking " naturally made people think of words such as " gentle " and " delicate ". A man who could cook had these two completely different temperaments. This contrast gave people a sense of novelty, which was a kind of charm.
However, his eldest brother, He Yuzhu, was indeed a little lacking in words. The words he said could make people suffocate to death. However, some of those words were really rough and not rough. They were full of humor. This was not much more interesting than greasy, rustic words of love. Those crude 'folk sayings' were, in fact, the conclusions and insights of the people based on their life experiences. They were the external embodiment of the people's wisdom.
Speaking of character, his eldest brother, He Yuzhu, was absolutely unquestionable. He could serve the deaf old lady who was not related to him with all his heart, and he could lend a helping hand to the second and third grandmasters who had a grudge with him when they needed help. He could even help his arch-enemy Xu Damao when he had no other choice. How big of a mind did he have to be to do this?
Many skills could be faked, but qualities such as kindness, diligence, and loyalty could not be faked. His eldest brother, He Yuzhu, was a kind-hearted person. The more he interacted with him, the more he could feel his charm. He Yuheng believed that a reasonable person like Teacher Ran would look at him in a new light after interacting with He Yuzhu for a long time and understanding what kind of person he was.
This person who usually did not pay attention to dressing up would give people a refreshing feeling when she dressed up. The first step to making her big brother look at her in a different light was to start from the outside.
"Sister, look. We're going on a blind date, so shouldn't we tidy ourselves up and make ourselves look more energetic so that we can leave a good impression? However, I see that Eldest Brother doesn't usually pay attention to dressing up. He definitely doesn't have any good clothes. My figure is different from big brother's, and he can't wear my clothes, so I'm thinking of taking a day off tomorrow and going to the mall to buy some clothes for big brother.”
"I'll go. You're a grown man, how would you know what to buy?”
"Alright then! Sister, it's almost the new year. Why don't you buy one for yourself? I'll pay for it!"
"Not bad, you still know how to think of your sister. Not bad! But there's no need. Why waste the money?”
"Really? New clothes for the new year." He Yusheng looked askance at He Yushui.
He Yushui narrowed her eyes and looked at him for a few seconds before breaking through his defense. She smiled and said,"You said it yourself, so I won't stand on ceremony!”
"That's right. You don't have to be polite with me!”
