Chapter 131 Park Dating Corner

Chapter 131 Park Dating Corner

There was only one person to cook for lunch, so Chen Jingle simply made braised noodles.

Much easier than cooking rice and stir-frying.

Challenge difficult dishes every day, and cook simple ones intermittently. Suddenly, I feel like a person who often trains with weights has shed his restraints and is as light as a swallow.

"It's a pity that Chen Qiyun doesn't like to eat noodles. She only makes them once in a while."

After eating, he saw that it was still early for lunch break, and it was cloudy and cloudy outside, not as hot as yesterday, so he pushed out the small electric machine.

"Walk, walk, go out for a walk!"

He likes to ride a small electric car and stroll around the streets and alleys of the city.

If it's a big road like the Ring Road, ride faster, feel the wind blowing on your cheeks, and make a strange scream when there's no one in front or behind you.

"Ah ho~!"

It doesn't matter if someone hears him. No one will recognize him because he is wearing a helmet and a mask.

If it's a small alley, follow the pedestrians slowly and crawl at a snail's pace.

This is a way Chen Jingle often uses to relax and regulate his emotions.

……

Pass by People's Park.

I pass by here every day when I go shopping for groceries, but I come and go in such a hurry that I don’t even have time to go shopping. It’s rare that I have free time today.

So Chen Jingle pondered for a moment, parked the car nearby and walked in.

It was almost noon, but there were not many people in the park.

This park has been renovated many times.

I heard from the older generation that in the past, it was actually a shooting range, and a certain building not far away was a crematorium. Later, the crematorium was moved outside the city.

In the mid-1970s, it was officially transformed into People's Park.

The People's Park in Chen Jingle's impression was initially an amusement park, requiring tickets to enter. It contained bumper cars, a carousel, a roller skating rink, a lake cruise ship, and birdhouses such as a monkey mountain, peacocks, and parrots.

Some sell balloons, some specialize in taking photos, and also provide various props and costumes.

There's even an actual propeller fighter.

It’s a small place without much entertainment, but People’s Park is the most popular place, with long queues every weekend.

But at that time, he was a child with no money, and his family had never taken him there a few times.

Five yuan a ticket was not cheap in those days.

The above is his early impression of People's Park.

When I grew up, I always wanted to go to a real amusement park, but as a result, I haven’t been able to go to one even when I was 30 years old.

Even when he was working in the provincial capital, he lived not far from the Happy World, but he had never been there.

Regretful.

In the People's Park after the millennium, for unknown reasons, the Monkey Mountain Bird House is gone, and the carousels, bumper cars, lake cruises, etc. have all been discontinued.

In the end, even the roller skating rink was gone.

The next step is a major renovation. Almost all of it was demolished and rebuilt, and it was turned into a green park with no admission fees, allowing citizens to have a place to take a walk after meals.

However, the good times did not last long, and several groups of square dancing aunts often quarreled because of land issues. Neighboring residents also complained that the square dance speakers were too loud.

The last resort was to expand again.

It took many construction projects before and after to become what it is now.

It is lined with green trees and decorated with flowers. There are martyrs’ mausoleums, a track around the lake, pavilions and small bridges, stone tables and chairs, and free public toilets.

It can be said to be a good infrastructure that benefits people's livelihood.

……

Chen Jingle has not been to the park for many years.

After entering, I realized that the changes were really quite big.

Those who danced in the square dispersed early, and now there are mainly those who walk, those who play cards and chess, and those who sing.

There are many people singing, mainly in the form of folk choirs, where a group of retired adults and aunts who know some musical instruments gather together, plus passers-by.

There are also many types of songs, ranging from popular songs to pop songs to Cantonese opera, highlighting the variety.

When Chen Jingle saw it, he was quite surprised: "There is also a choir?"

A bald man in a white sweatshirt next to him, with his hands behind his back, heard this and sneered: "What's so strange about this? There are choruses almost every holiday and weekend."

"Every weekend?" Chen Jingle was even more surprised.

"Yes, don't you know?"

"Uh, I don't know."

"You are not a local, are you?"

Chen Jingle hurriedly explained: "I am a local from Jiangbei, but my home is in Niujiaoling Village next to the textile factory, not in the main city."

"Niujiao Ridge is not far from here."

The uncle glanced at Chen Jingle and said with a smile: "Young people, you should go out more often and don't always stay at home playing games and sleeping."

"I don't play games much." Chen Jingle looked helpless.

The uncle shook his head: "It's best not to play games. Anyway, go out for a walk more often."

Chen Jingle could only nod in agreement, secretly wiped his sweat, and continued to look at the choir on the field.

……

Even such a simple choir has a conductor.

She is a gray-haired mother-in-law who looks very professional.

Even this kind of improvised chorus in the park still gives people an exciting and passionate feeling with its multi-tone mixture.

The charm of the chorus lies in stimulating people's emotions and causing everyone to resonate and empathize, thus creating a collective sense of belonging, honor, security, and even happiness.

In this state, and because the songs he sang were ones he knew, it became natural for passers-by to join in.

"Let the tide accompany me to protect you,

Please don’t forget that my face will never change yellow~”

After singing "Pearl of the Orient", a new song was quickly added.

"The light from the Golden Mountain in Bei'an shines in all directions..."

This time even Chen Jingle couldn't help but join in and hummed softly.

The man in the sweatshirt next to him sang even more passionately, and the voices of everyone around him seemed to converge into a high-spirited torrent.

After singing, the uncle turned to look at Chen Jingle again: "There are not many young people who can sing these songs now."

Most of the people around me are elderly retirees or middle-aged people in their forties or fifties.

There seems to be only one young face like Chen Jingle.

Super conspicuous.

Chen Jingle smiled: "Actually, there are quite a few. It's just that we all have to go to work and go to school, so we don't have time to sing with you."

There is no way, these days, retired people in the park are full of energy, while young people in the bus and subway are lifeless. He was just tired of living like that, so he ran home.

As for this type of song, every Chinese must have been exposed to it since childhood. The melody is simple and easy to learn, and you can even learn it after listening to it a few times.

It’s normal to know a few songs.

Furthermore, Chen Jingle has a habit of trying various methods to get rid of the entanglement of negative energy when his personal magnetic field becomes weak.

For example, playing games, reading novels, listening to music, going out for a run, etc.

Among them, listening to music is the most abundant spiritual energy provided by various red songs.

The more you listen, the easier it will become naturally.

So he can sing all the songs that uncles and aunts sing.

It's just that he doesn't sing well.

He didn't open his voice, so he relied on his white voice. However, his voice was not particularly nice, and was rather soft.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Although it can be optimized and adjusted by learning skills, Chen Jinngle has not studied it.

Hey, let’s talk about it later!

After humming two more songs, Chen Jingle slipped away.

Because he saw a group of people gathering at the other end of the park from a distance.

……

However, when Chen Jingle got closer, he realized that the place where the crowd gathered was actually the Dating Corner!

"Ah? Why does the People's Park in Jiangbei have a blind date corner?"

Chen Jingle was shocked.

In my impression, only relatively large cities have this kind of "trading market".

Jiangbei is a small city. If you really want to find a partner, you can help introduce him through parents, relatives, classmates, friends, work leaders, etc., and you will basically be single.

There is no need to engage in this kind of blind date angle.

Besides, if you were really good enough, would you need to go to a place like this for a blind date?

An aunt next to him heard what he said and casually added: "It only started this year. There is no way. Young people nowadays are not looking for partners or getting married. What a worry for parents."

"That's it." Chen Jingle suddenly realized.

Unexpectedly, the aunt glanced at him and asked with a smile: "Young boy, how old are you this year?"

"I'm 30." Chen Jingle was a little embarrassed.

The aunt frowned slightly: "30... is not bad. What do you do?"

Chen Jingle was so frightened that he quickly shook his head: "I'm not here for a blind date, I'm just here to see."

"It's okay, many young people who come here say this, don't be shy, just look, just look, I'll ask, maybe the conditions are suitable. Now, these are my daughter's conditions and requirements."

The aunt put a piece of plastic paper filled with words in her hand in front of Chen Jinngle.

Chen Jingle lowered his head and glanced.

[I have a daughter in my family. She is unmarried and has no children since 2000. She is 1.58 meters tall and weighs 85 pounds. She has a bachelor's degree and has good facial features. She works at the Chengnan Community Hospital as a pharmacist. She lives in a four-story self-built house next to the Ninth Primary School and has a car. , likes badminton, fitness, and soup making. We are looking for a single man born in 1995-2002 who is over 1.7 meters tall, has a college degree or above, has good appearance, no bad habits, and is reliable and responsible. Contact information (wx number: 138****5551)]

"No, have you started dating in these days and 2000?"

Chen Jingle was shocked.

Aren’t those born in 00 still children?

Oh no, the post-00 generation seems to have reached adulthood, the oldest ones are 23 or 24 years old.

Hiss~~

It’s okay, it turns out I’m old.

The aunt's eyes widened: "There are quick hands and slow hands. Do you think it's easy to find women now? It's not a few years ago anymore. Today's post-00s have to compete not only with their peers, but also with those older than them. The biggest advantage of those born in the 1990s and 1985s is that they are young. If you don’t look for it now, the advantage will become a disadvantage in a few years. Of course, you have to start early.”

What does it mean to be awake in the world?

That's it!

Chen Jingle gave a thumbs up: "Auntie, you are right. Your daughter's conditions are very good and her requirements are not high. She will definitely find the right one. I wish you good luck and come on!"

"Hey, don't leave. Let me add your contact information first."

"No, no, no, I'm really not here for a blind date."

Chen Jingle quickly refused and turned away.

When the aunt saw this, she could only sigh.

I finally saw something that I liked, but it turned out that they weren’t interested at all. What should I do?

It’s almost the end of the year, is it just another year like this?

If this continues, when will the gifts given out in previous years be recovered? Some are dead.

……

Chen Jingle turned around and discovered a very exaggerated phenomenon.

Those who come to the dating corner to find a partner are basically the parents of girls, accounting for almost 90%.

This is scary.

You must know that in the Gouba area of ​​Jiangbei, the idea of ​​​​preferring boys over girls still existed in the early years. Judging from the demographic data, there are many more men than women.

As a result, most of the people who went on blind dates were women.

"What's going on?"

Chen Jingle was puzzled.

You must know that compared with other places, the marriage requirements in Lingnan are already very low. Here in Jiangbei and in the entire South East Province, they are extremely low.

For example, when Sister Xiu married Lin Yaoheng, how much did she give as a bride price?

28888!

Then the second uncle returned 20,000 yuan, plus various dowries.

The two of them didn't even bother to set up a banquet. They just received the certificate, and then the two families sat down to have a meal together, and that was it.

Even here in the Dating Corner, parents' requirements are generally not high. Compared with other places, the garage is the basic condition, which is much better.

Here, not many men are willing to go on a blind date.

Are they already dating or something?

However, he also noticed that the popularity of parents who helped their sons go on blind dates was directly proportional to their conditions.

Those with good conditions will be surrounded by parents who want to add contact information and recommend their daughters; those with poor conditions will be ignored.

Well, in the final analysis it still depends on the conditions.

Human nature.

Chen Jingle shook his head: "A homeless person like me who doesn't even have a job probably can't even cross the threshold of the blind date market."

Of course, if you just look at his skin, there are actually quite a few parents who want to know about him along the way.

It's a pity that Chen Jingle was just passing by.

It's okay to watch the fun, but I'm not interested in going on a blind date.

"You can write a simple analysis report later to explore the reasons behind this phenomenon."

He bought a small pudding next to the park and leaned under the shade of a tree to think about this problem.

Uh-huh, I've been reading a lot lately, and I've become a little obsessed. I want to analyze everything I see.

After finishing the little pudding, he threw it into the trash can and prepared to retreat!

It can be said that I have gained a lot from going around in such a circle today. As expected, to engage in humanities and social sciences, you need to have more contact with public life.
