After returning home, Xiao Liu thought about it and decided he wanted to meet Su Tiantian even more. He remembered what the sales manager had said during training when he first started working in car sales: When faced with resources and opportunities, don't be humble or evasive; go for it bravely and show yourself. The reason for being thick-skinned is to let customers see your value and strength and secure orders.

Xiao Liu, 27, whose full name is Liu Yunquan, has been a car salesman for four years. He's met all kinds of people and considers himself quite discerning. It's not like there aren't girls who like him, but none of them have truly captivated him. Colleagues? They're all his rivals. Clients? Even after the sale, they rarely interact with each other, and there aren't many young female clients. Blind dates introduced by friends and relatives? I've met them, but either they don't like the other person, or they don't like him. You have your requirements, and they have theirs too. So, when you meet someone you're attracted to, of course you have to take the initiative. Happiness is something you have to strive for.

He knew Su Tiantian's name and address, and had the WeChat accounts of her brother and cousin. Now all he needed was an opportunity to appear in front of Su Tiantian. Opportunities can be created, so he decided to ask his mother for help. His mother might know someone in the neighboring village. After hearing what her son said, Liu's mother was surprised and happy. Her son was already 27 years old, and she had always wanted him to get married early. He had also been on several blind dates, but none of them suited him. Now he just had a girl he liked. After hearing the girl's information, he thought she was really good. Liu's mother said to Xiao Liu, "The neighboring village you are talking about is Yanxin Village, right? It's the village next to our village. I know someone there. I'm going to go find her now and ask her if she knows Su Tiantian's family and see if she can make an introduction."

Xiao Liu felt that his mother was even more anxious than he was: "It's already dark, you're going now?"

Liu's mother said, "It's only a little after seven o'clock, don't be afraid, and it's very close. It will take about 15 minutes to drive the electric car. You wait for me at home." After Liu's mother said that, she made a phone call, then took some gifts and drove off in the electric car.

Liu's mother came to Yanxin Village, the village where Su Tiantian lived, and found her friend. The villagers called her Aunt Wu or Aunt Gui (Aunt Wu because her husband was fifth in the family, and Aunt Gui because her name contained the character Gui). Liu's mother and Aunt Gui worked as cleaners in the same electrical appliance company and had a good relationship. Aunt Gui felt strange when Liu's mother called her on the second night of the Lunar New Year to ask if she was free. Aunt Gui replied that she was free, so Liu's mother said she wanted to come over and sit for a while, so she could wait at home. She thought she must have something to ask her at this time.

Liu's mother came to Aunt Gui's house. Aunt Gui's family was also well off. Her husband and son opened a shop, and her daughter-in-law worked in a factory. Aunt Gui said, "Ah Hong (Liu's mother's name), it's rare for you to come and sit with me. What did you bring?"

Liu's mother said, "I picked them up randomly at home. They are just small tokens of my appreciation." She put the gifts down and saw that Aunt Gui was the only one at home, so she asked, "Where are your husband, son, and daughter-in-law?" Aunt Gui smiled and said, "They are all out. I am the only one left at home. Come, come, come over here and eat." Aunt Gui asked Liu's mother to sit down and poured her a cup of hot tea.

Seeing no one else around, Liu's mother said directly, "Agui, I need your help with something. Let me ask you first, do you know Su Tiantian? She's 26 years old and from your village. She has a younger brother."

Aunt Gui picked up a handful of melon seeds and was surprised to hear this. She asked, "You know her, the eldest daughter of the Su family. What's the matter?"

Liu's mother said, "I really envy you. I am the same age as you and my son is about the same age. Your son is married and his daughter-in-law is pregnant, but my son doesn't even have a girlfriend."

Aunt Gui now understood: "You are not interested in Su Tiantian, are you?"

Liu's mother said, "Yes, what do you think of Miss Su?"

Aunt Gui put down the melon seeds in her hand and said seriously, "Ah Hong, your family's conditions are not as good as the Su family's. If I were to describe Su Tiantian in one word, it would be good. If I were to describe it in two words, it would be very good."

Liu's mother said, "It's all my son's fault. He said he'd met Miss Su twice and liked her very much. He wanted to meet her. From what you said, Miss Su's family is well-off."

Aunt Gui said, "Su Tiantian's mother, Sang Yimei, and I were from the same village before she got married. We already had a good relationship, and after she got married, we were still from the same village, so we often visited each other. When Yimei married into the Su family, they were really poor, but over the years, their lives have been getting better and better. Her husband opened a factory, and her son also opened his own decoration company. Tiantian, needless to say, is good-looking, a college graduate, and works in a big city. She should have a good income. Moreover, she can do housework and is not spoiled."

Mother Liu was a little anxious. "So you're so familiar with the Su family. I guess I'm lucky. Miss Su is so outstanding. No wonder my son wants to meet her. I just want to give my son a chance, let them get to know each other, and try whether it works or not. Ah Gui, can you help me? If it works, the matchmaker's big red envelope will be kept. If it doesn't, I will thank you very much."

Aunt Gui said with some embarrassment, "Recently, Sang Yimei has been arranging blind dates for her daughter. I heard she's met several people. I don't know if any of them were successful. I can only ask Yimei first. I can only arrange it if she agrees."

Mother Liu quickly said, "Thank you. Please help me ask as soon as possible. You know my family's situation. Just tell the Su family the truth. I only have one daughter and one son. Our two-and-a-half-story house was built just a few years ago. My son works as a car salesman and earns a good salary. He bought a car, but he has to pay off the loan over three years. My husband works as a construction worker and earns a decent salary."

Aunt Gui said, "It's a little late now. I'll call Yimei tomorrow morning to ask. No, I'd better go to her house and talk to her in person. If you're interested, you should ask her sooner. First, I'm worried that Tiantian has already met the right person through her blind date. Second, Tiantian will be working away from home after the Chinese New Year and will only be back once every one or two months."

Liu's mother said, "Anyway, thank you for your help. Please let me know if you have any news."

Aunt Gui said: "After I ask clearly, the other party will tell you whether they agree to the blind date or not."

Mother Liu continued chatting with Aunt Gui, and when it was almost time, she said she would go back. Aunt Gui sent her to the door. Mother Liu returned home soon, and Xiao Liu came out as soon as he heard the car. Mother Liu was really angry and funny. She hadn't seen her son so active for a long time. He was usually active at work to make money, and behaved well outside, but was lazy at home. Seeing her son's impatience, Mother Liu didn't tease him: "My co-worker knows Su Tiantian's mother. She said she would help ask Su Tiantian's mother tomorrow morning. She doesn't know if the girl is willing." Xiao Liu smiled happily when he heard it. At least there was hope. Xiao Liu was a little nervous that night and didn't sleep well.
