In Deaf Old Lady's home, Wang Qiu Xia looked at Zheng Da Ma and Ma Cheng Gong, a thought suddenly arose in her mind.
Zheng Da Ma was struggling to raise a child alone, she needed a man, and Ma Cheng Gong might be a good choice.
It just so happened that Ma Cheng Gong was single, otherwise Wang Qiu Xia wouldn't have had the idea of matchmaking.
Of course, although she had the idea of matchmaking, it would be inappropriate to say it directly.
"Then I'll leave first." Ma Cheng Gong stood up.
Seeing this, Wang Qiu Xia also got up and said she was going back to the street office.
Just a few steps outside the courtyard, Wang Qiu Xia called out to Ma Cheng Gong.
"Director Wang, is there something you need?" Ma Cheng Gong was puzzled.
"Shu Fen has had it rough, I see that you're single, and I thought you two could give it a try, if..." Wang Qiu Xia said with a smile.
Ma Cheng Gong was stunned, he didn't expect Wang Qiu Xia to call him out to talk about this.
However, Zheng Da Ma had saved his life, and he had a good feeling about her, but to talk about living together was a bit hasty, at least they should date and see if they were compatible.
In this era, you could get a marriage certificate as long as you liked each other.
Right now, Ma Cheng Gong and Zheng Da Ma didn't quite like each other yet.
But Ma Cheng Gong was willing to give it a try.
Ma Cheng Gong wasn't embarrassed, he directly spoke his mind.
Knowing Ma Cheng Gong's thoughts, Wang Qiu Xia smiled more broadly.
As long as she could persuade Zheng Da Ma, they would be halfway there.
Wang Qiu Xia was quite good at judging people, she just felt that Ma Cheng Gong and Zheng Da Ma were compatible.
Ma Cheng Gong had heard about Zheng Da Ma's poor health and inability to have children.
Since Zheng Da Ma had adopted a child, if they were to be together, Ma Cheng Gong was willing to raise the child as his own, and the child wouldn't have to take his last name.
They chatted all the way to the street office, and Wang Qiu Xia and Ma Cheng Gong parted ways.
Ma Cheng Gong went to the Red Flag Lumber Factory, he had taken half a day off, and he had to work in the afternoon, it was a bit early to go to the factory now, but there was no harm in going early.
Street office, director's office, Wang Qiu Xia was still pondering.
Although she thought Ma Cheng Gong was quite good, she planned to inquire further.
In addition, she also needed to do some work on Zheng Da Ma.
For the child's sake, Zheng Da Ma shouldn't refuse.
It's not that Zheng Da Ma couldn't raise the child alone, but for the child, the lack of fatherly love was always bad.
Moreover, Zheng Da Ma's poor health was well-known.
She was barely making ends meet by taking on odd jobs, even struggling to have a full meal, but if she lived with Ma Cheng Gong, the couple could support each other, work together, and raising a child would be easier.
There were still many single older people in the neighborhood, some Wang Qiu Xia was willing to help find a partner, some she didn't bother with.
First, she would talk to Ma Cheng Gong, then inquire further, and then find an opportunity to have a good talk with Zheng Da Ma, then…
One step at a time.
If Ma Cheng Gong had a bad reputation, she would have to reconsider.
Zheng Da Ma came to the street office to take on odd jobs every day, Wang Qiu Xia wouldn't lack opportunities to talk to her.
She had a plan in mind, and she would follow it step by step.
…
In a blink of an eye, several days had passed since Zheng Da Ma saved Ma Cheng Gong.
Every day, Zheng Da Ma, besides taking care of Zheng Ai Min, also took care of the old lady and took on odd jobs.
She could earn some money by taking on odd jobs.
The old lady was a bit unhappy, although she could still save money every month, she was saving a little less than before.
Since Zheng Da Ma didn't have much time to take care of her now, it wouldn't matter if she changed to someone else!
So, the old lady had been getting close to Yi Hai Zhong these past few days.
Zheng Da Ma wasn't stupid, seeing the old lady getting close to Yi Hai Zhong, she knew that the old lady didn't really want her to take care of her anymore.
Forget it.
With a sigh, Zheng Da Ma let it go, let's just call it a day!
The old lady wanted her to take care of her, she would take good care of her, if she didn't want her anymore, she wouldn't be a nuisance.
She could just move out and rent a house.
Living outside and renting a house would be a little more difficult than now, but it wouldn't be anything.
This day, Zheng Da Ma came to the street office to take on odd jobs, Wang Qiu Xia pulled her aside for a casual chat.
After chatting for a while, Wang Qiu Xia mentioned Ma Cheng Gong.
Wang Qiu Xia had inquired, Ma Cheng Gong had a good reputation and was a reliable man.
"Director Wang, this, I haven't thought about remarrying, I'm raising my child alone, and..." Zheng Da Ma was blushing.
Firstly, it hadn't been long since she divorced, and besides, at her age, remarrying would also be laughed at! As for not having feelings for Ma Cheng Gong, that wasn't the main issue.
This era had too many cases of marrying first and falling in love later.
Seeing Zheng Da Ma's refusal, Wang Qiu Xia wasn't surprised, this was within her expectations.
"Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the child, it's too hard for you to raise the child alone, Ma Cheng Gong is a reliable man..." Wang Qiu Xia said.
When Wang Qiu Xia mentioned the child, Zheng Da Ma hesitated a little.
Seeing this, Wang Qiu Xia smiled inwardly, it was just as she thought, the child was a breakthrough.
Next, she had to see how Ma Cheng Gong performed.
"I'll go back first." Zheng Da Ma was thin-skinned, and she didn't bother to take on any odd jobs, she directly left the street office.
Wang Qiu Xia wasn't in a hurry.
Matchmaking also had to be done step by step, you couldn't be too hasty.
…
Back in the courtyard, Zheng Da Ma was troubled.
When she divorced Yi Hai Zhong, she had made up her mind not to remarry, but when Director Wang mentioned the child, she was a little shaken.
She had adopted a child, and she had to consider the child's future.
However, although she was a little shaken, she still wasn't going to remarry.
Next, Zheng Da Ma didn't think about it anymore, she washed the diapers.
After washing the diapers, she warmed up the rice soup.
When Zheng Ai Min was hungry, Zheng Da Ma took some rice soup to feed him.
It's not about whether the rice soup was nutritious or not, compared to going hungry, being able to have a sip of rice soup was a blessing.
In this era, adults and children couldn't afford to be picky.
Having something to eat was the most important thing.
Zheng Ai Min also had some thoughts, in the future when conditions improved, some people would say that pork wasn't healthy, this was bad, that was not allowed to be eaten, they were all full and had nothing better to do, put them in this era, they would be hungry and eat anything deliciously.
And people in this era had poor living conditions, but their bodies were strong, many people could carry hundreds of kilograms and walk miles with ease, while in the future, after living comfortably, they would be tired after walking a few steps.
Seeing that Zheng Da Ma had something on her mind, but Zheng Ai Min didn't know what she was thinking.
Deaf Old Lady could tell, so she asked, but Zheng Da Ma didn't say anything.
"Didn't the street office give you any odd jobs?" Zheng Ai Min wondered.
If she couldn't get odd jobs, Zheng Da Ma wouldn't be able to earn money, and their lives would be difficult.
Zheng Ai Min hadn't thought that Director Wang was trying to match Zheng Da Ma with Ma Cheng Gong.
After drinking the rice soup, feeling no longer hungry, Zheng Ai Min couldn't help but fall asleep.
Compared to other babies, Zheng Ai Min slept less.
Just comparing him to Bang Geng, Zheng Ai Min slept at least an hour and a half less every day.
But Zheng Ai Min's physique was very good, at least much better than Bang Geng's.
In this way, maybe he would be a superhuman in the future.
Also, his memory was getting better and better, he could already remember things at a glance.
The strengthening of his body and mind, this might be his benefit of being transported to this era.
