Mother Ran came to the courtyard house in the afternoon, when Lu Heng had not gotten off work yet.
The reason for this was simple.
That afternoon, she spent the entire meal observing Lu Heng's way of handling things, his attitude towards his sister, and some information about his work and life.
She felt that this young man could get along well and was a good candidate for a son-in-law.
He knew how to cook and took good care of his sister.
It proved that he knew how to live and love people.
He wasn't the kind of male chauvinist who only cared about making money and wanted women to do everything else.
In the current situation where everyone was starving, he had the ability to bring his sister to the mall and eat roast duck.
It proved that his income at the Red Star Rolling Mill was not low. Otherwise, he would not have such a quality of life and financial security.
In terms of appearance, he was tall and handsome.
With this, she gave Lu Heng a good score.
The only thing he regretted was that his education was a little low. He only had high school education.
However, at the moment, it was the most glorious thing to be a laborer. This was not a big reduction.
Therefore, in order to further investigate, she took half a day off to investigate the situation.
Before coming here, she went to the school first to feel out her daughter.
Although her daughter did not express her opinion openly, it was not difficult to see that her daughter had a good impression of Lu Heng.
With this premise, this matter could be done.
Then, she rushed to the courtyard house in high spirits.
She wanted to find an opportunity to find out if Lu Heng was interested in her daughter. If he was interested, then this matter would be half done.
This was how it was these days. If both men and women were willing to get in touch, there would be a chance.
After spending some time together and finding that there was no big problem with the other party, they could arrange for the marriage.
"Hello, I'm looking for Lu Heng. May I ask if he lives in this courtyard?”
"That's good. Then can I ask you what kind of person he is?”
"Oh, it's nothing serious. It's just that I have a relative. I heard that there's a young man called Lu Heng who works at the Red Star Rolling Mill in this area.”
"There's a girl in her family who hasn't found a partner yet. If this young man isn't bad, she plans to find someone to matchmake and see if it works.”
When they arrived at the courtyard house, Mother Ran made a friend out of nowhere. She used the excuse of introducing Lu Heng to her relatives and wanted to get to know Lu Heng from the neighbors first.
This was normal. When two families who didn't know each other were about to get married, they would ask many questions to get to know each other better.
Asking the neighbors was one of the more common methods.
"Oh, you mean Little Lu."
"How should I put it? He's usually a little arrogant and rarely deals with us neighbors.”
"Of course, it's also possible that he doesn't like us. After all, he's an engineer at the rolling mill now. His monthly salary is more than 100 yuan. It's normal that he doesn't want to deal with poor neighbors like us.”
"Oh, how do you think he treats his sister? That was indeed good. He was willing to buy anything for his sister, but he was a little extravagant.”
"Good heavens, last time, he bought something that cost a few hundred yuan. This is not the attitude to live. Even if he had a raise in salary, he couldn't build it like that. He had to leave some leeway for himself. In case he needed to use a lot of money in the future.”
Mother Ran took the opportunity to come over, but soon, she frowned.
After inquiring with a few neighbors of the Siheyuan, the news she received was somewhat different from what she had expected.
The neighbors only had a few comments about Lu Heng.
He was capable, but he liked to take things seriously. He had even gotten the neighbors in the courtyard into trouble.
There was also the fact that he was not very sociable. It could be said that he was arrogant, but it could also be said that he looked down on people who were inferior to him.
Lastly, he was a spendthrift and didn't know how to live.
If a neighbor said so, she would be skeptical, but if several neighbors said so, then there was a certain degree of credibility.
In fact, those people were right.
However, it was not that Lu Heng looked down on them. He simply did not want to have too much interaction with them.
His attitude towards life was more inclined towards the 21st century, and it was common for people to not interact with each other.
These neighbors had never helped him before. Why would he spend time and energy to build a good relationship with them and win their favor?
Just live your own life.
As for spending money extravagantly, that was also a fact.
However, he really had more money than he could spend.
However, in the eyes of outsiders who did not know about it, these actions were somewhat criticized.
After all, it was still important to have a harmonious neighborhood.
With this thought in mind, Mother Ran walked into the backyard.
He planned to visit again.
Lu Heng lived in the backyard and was relatively close to his neighbors. Perhaps they could give a different evaluation.
"Oh, Little Lu, you're a very promising child.”
"My husband became the class monitor because of him.”
"Spending money extravagantly? He could earn so much, so it was normal for him to spend some money. He didn't spend it recklessly.”
This was the second auntie's evaluation.
With Liu Haizhong promoted to class monitor, his addiction to being an official was satisfied. It could be said that he was loyal to Lu Heng, who recommended him to be an official.
If he was told to go east, he would never go west. If he was asked to catch a dog, he would never dare to catch a chicken.
If he saw anyone in the courtyard who dared to speak ill of Lu Heng, he would definitely run out and bite them.
This attitude infected the Second Aunt, and she naturally kept praising Lu Heng.
It was just that his performance was a little too much, even a little flattering, which made Mother Ran feel that he lacked credibility.
He felt that she must have been trying to curry favor with Lu Heng, so she kept saying good things.
"He's quite smart, quite capable, and quite interesting!”
"She treats her sister even better. I'm envious just looking at her.”
"Hey, it's okay for a man to spend some money. It's fine as long as he can earn money.”
After leaving Xu Damao's house, Lou Xiao'e's words still echoed in Mother Ran's ears, especially when she saw the faint light in the other party's eyes, which made her frown.
How could a woman who already had a family admire Lu Heng so much?
For a moment, she even had an unhealthy thought that there was something between Lu Heng and Lou Xiao'e.
One was a young man full of vigor, and the other was a fair-skinned woman who was quite good-looking.
Was there something unspeakable between the two of them?
As an intellectual, although Mother Ran felt that it was a little immoral to think like this, she still couldn't control herself.
In the end, Mother Ran went to the deaf old lady's house.
Coincidentally, a middle-aged woman was also there.
"You're asking about that kid surnamed Lu?"
"Heh, he's a complete bastard.”
"Just the Jia family in the front yard. The men in their family are all paralyzed, and there are only some old and weak people left. He can even bear to bully them.”
"There's also Yi Zhonghai from the middle court. He's the one who was elected by our court to be in charge. Not only did he not show any respect, but he also scolded Old Dog Yi for no reason.”
"Even an old woman like me, he even threatened to remove my five-guarantee status. Do you think he's still human?”
The Deaf Granny was extremely dissatisfied with Lu Heng.
Her god-grandson, Silly Zhu, had just come out with great difficulty, but Lu Heng had brought him back in. Now, she wished she could eat Lu Heng's flesh.
Now that someone was trying to find a wife for Lu Heng, it was only natural that he did not have anything good to say.
Looking at Mother Ran's calm expression, the old deaf granny suddenly understood.
The person who came was not looking for a partner for her friend's daughter. She was probably looking for her own daughter.
Alright, Lu wants to get married? No way.
The Deaf Granny recalled that a few years ago, in order to help Silly Zhu get married, she ruined Lu Heng's marriage.
Now, he might as well do it again and let that kid be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
"I'm afraid you don't know this, but that Lu kid dated a girl two years ago. She's even a teacher at a nearby primary school. The two of them had been together for quite some time and were about to get married, but it didn't work out.”
"At that time, his family was very poor. His mother was sick, his sister was only five years old, and he had just joined the factory.”
"That primary school teacher didn't despise his family background at first. It was only when they were about to get married that she was unwilling to be with him.”
"Think about it. That kid must have done something wrong. Otherwise, why didn't she despise him before? Why did she have to wait until the end to regret it?”
"This matter is not a secret in our department. Many people know about it. If you don't believe me, you can ask an auntie."
The deaf old lady continued to nag for a while, half telling the truth and half telling lies. She created an image of a bad man who had an improper style and was eventually broken off by the female teacher.
It was this last sentence that broke Mother Ran's defense.
She was an intellectual, so she had enough judgment.
What the Deaf Old Lady had said earlier was obviously personal. She didn't really believe it, so she was very indifferent.
However, what he said next made Mother Ran unable to calm down.
This was because her daughter, Ran Qiuye, had the same status as Lu Heng's blind date. She was also a primary school teacher.
This similarity shocked her, and her heart was quietly covered with a shadow.
Even a flower, an evaluation ticket, or a monthly ticket would do.
