Chapter 37

Bi Weiguo closed the door, patted his chest in fear, and said, "Sister, it's a good thing our family wasn't born in that hospital."

"Sigh... I hope the police can find those kids quickly." Bi Chunliu said. Seeing Bi Qiuguo wanted to go out, he quickly stopped her. "Have you finished your homework? It's time for dinner. Stay home and don't go anywhere!"

Bi Qiuguo responded listlessly and honestly helped his third sister pick vegetables and cook.

Bi Chunliu took the bag Fang Yuanyuan had brought. Perhaps because she had inquired about her family's situation, Fang Yuanyuan had brought only practical things: a pound of flour, a bag of sugar, a bundle of kelp, and a bunch of vegetables. The vegetables looked very fresh, as if they had just been picked from the ground.

Bi Weiguo took the kelp and sniffed it. "Salty? Big sister, what is this?"

Bi Chunliu took the kelp and said happily: "This is kelp, a vegetable that grows in the sea. It can be eaten cold or stewed in soup. It is delicious and good for the body. I didn't expect Sister Yuanyuan to give me this thing!" Kelp was a rare item at that time, and it was difficult to repay this favor.

Bi Weiguo glanced at it curiously, then put it down again. He had never eaten it before, so he had no idea what it was. He remembered the rabbit his elder sister had caught, and he became greedy. "Sister, we haven't eaten our rabbit yet. When can we eat it?"

It just so happened that tomorrow was Sunday, and since he had to help make the chili sauce and had meat as an excuse, Bi Chunliu thought it would be a good idea to cook both the locust flowers and rabbit meat together and say that Fang Yuanyuan brought them.

"I'll do it tomorrow." Bi Chunliu said, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell the three of them about the blind date tomorrow. He said as casually as possible, "Oh, by the way, I have to tell you that Chairman Ren of our union introduced me to a police officer. I'm going on a blind date tomorrow. I told you in advance in case you heard about it from other sources and started to make wild guesses. The four of us are a family, so just ask me directly if you have any questions."

It was indeed the same as Bi Chunliu's thoughts. Bi Weiguo and Bi Qiuguo were fine with it, believing that even if their eldest sister got married, she would still be their eldest sister. But Bi Xiahe was different. She was careful and insecure, and she panicked at first. It wasn't that she didn't want her eldest sister to get married, but she knew that with her family's current situation, she couldn't leave her eldest sister. She pursed her lips and asked, "Sister, do you...does that person know about our family situation?" In fact, she wanted to ask her eldest sister if she wanted to get married.

Bi Chunliu packed up her things and held Bi Xiahe's hand. "Well, Chairman Ren has already told that man about our family's situation. Don't worry, I'll do my best to persuade him to come to our family." Bi Chunliu winked at Bi Xiahe. "Although I'm not a very beautiful elder sister, I'm still pretty. Wait for me to try my best to lure him to our family."

Bi Qiuguo laughed out loud: "Okay! Big sister, I think it's okay!"

Bi Weiguo also joined in the fun, "Big sister, come out and do the job for two people!!"

Bi Xiahe was amused by what they said. Big sister is really... The little housekeeper started to worry again, "Okay, big sister, then you work hard. What will you wear tomorrow? Do you have any good clothes?"

"Is there..." Bi Chunliu was unsure, then said, "It's okay. People know our family's situation, so I'll just wear my usual clothes. I'll go there tomorrow morning and should be back by noon. If that's okay, let's go to the suburbs tomorrow."

"All right……"

After the four of them finished their meal, Bi Chunliu and Bi Xiahe picked up some of the peppers, while Bi Qiuguo and Bi Weiguo hurried to do their homework. If they could really go to the suburbs again tomorrow, they would definitely finish their homework today.

.

In Nanshan City, in a courtyard about three or four kilometers away from the Bi family.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Han Zhong sat on the sofa and read the newspaper in his hand.

Xing Fei walked in at this time.

Han Zhong raised his eyes and glanced at him. "Humph, comrade, this is not a hotel. Have you come to the wrong place?"

Xing Fei hung his coat on the hanger, smiled and sat down next to Han Zhong. He peeled an apple, handed him half, and ate the other half himself. "Dad, what are you talking about? Did Xiaomei make you angry again? I'll go talk to her. You're already old, how can you always be angry..."

Han Kemei yelled in the house, "Don't blame me for everything, it's none of my business!"

Xing Fei finished his apple in a few bites and pretended to stand up. "Dad, don't be angry. I'll go talk to this girl."

"Sit down." Han Zhong stopped him. "You want to slip away again? Xiaofei, I'm so old now, and my health is not good. Back then..."

"What did you promise my dad back then?" Xing Fei interrupted, "Raise me or find me a wife?"

Han Zhong was choked, his beard puffing and his eyes glaring with anger. His voice began to choke. "Back then, your father and I had a very good relationship. Your father said at that time that when your mother gave birth to you, he would name you Xiaofei. He hoped that we could also have advanced aircraft like theirs, so that they could beat the shit out of them and never dare to cause trouble in our country again. Later, your father died to save me. He hoped that you would grow up safely, get married, and have two more children. Xiaobao, tell me, if you didn't fulfill your father's wish, how could I have the face to go down and see your father?"

Xing Fei felt a surge of shame when he heard himself being called by a nickname, and goose bumps appeared on his arms. "...Dad, if you say that, I really can't get married. This way, you can live for many more years."

Han Zhong angrily punched Xing Fei twice. "Hey... you little brat, anyway, Lao Ren said he found you a suitable one that meets your standards. Remember to go to the state-owned restaurant before ten o'clock tomorrow. Lao Ren has an appointment with that girl at ten o'clock, and she will accompany you. Don't let her wait for you. This is already the fifth one this year. If you dare not go again, don't blame me for being rude..."

No, there must be someone suitable for this condition? Besides, he doesn't even know what the other person is like, so why should he go and meet them on his own?

"No, Dad, I've been busy these past few days with a big case. I really don't have time." Xing Fei scratched his head. He always felt that he was not yet old enough to get married. He had an inexplicable premonition, a very certain feeling, that he would have a beautiful twilight romance. He was only in his twenties, not yet at the age for twilight romance, and he definitely couldn't get married.

Han Zhong stood up and waved his hand, ignoring him. "If you don't have time, go again when you can. If you don't go, I'll hang myself in the yard with a rope tomorrow night. I'm too embarrassed to see your parents anyway." After saying that, he quickly walked into the house and slammed the door.

"Okay, I will definitely go tomorrow. You should save your energy and go to sleep." Xing Fei shouted towards the room, secretly complaining that this old man was getting more stubborn as he got older.

"Squeak..." Han Kemei stretched his head out and whispered, "Brother, do you want me to go with you? I successfully made two pairs."

Xing Fei waved his hand and said, "No, you should take a rest. I'm afraid that the girl you've persuaded will directly ask me to get the marriage certificate."

Han Kemei: “…”

Just close the door quietly and you will be single!

The next day, Xing Fei ate breakfast in a hurry and was about to go out when Han Zhong coughed and glanced at him again. He took out a hemp rope from behind and shook it at him with a look on his face that said, "If you dare not go, you'll collect my body from the tree tonight."

Xing Fei: "..." and turned away.

.

The clock on the Bi family's wall rang. Bi Xiahe glanced at the time and continued to rummage through the clothes.

After searching the wardrobe at home for a long time, she finally found a Dacron short-sleeved shirt and asked Bi Chunliu to change into it.

Bi Chunliu took the clothes with trembling hands and said nothing for a long time, "Sister, are you going to freeze me to death?"

"Sister, why don't you wear a shirt inside?" Bi Qiuguo followed up with a suggestion.

Bi Xiahe took the clothes back and sighed, "Sister, it would be better if you could go on a blind date in the summer. We don't have any clothes to wear outside right now."

Bi Chunliu hugged Bi Xiahe, and Bi Xiahe's face immediately turned red. In her memory, it seemed that this was the third time her elder sister hugged her.

"You don't have to worry about this. Let me go and take a look. It may not be successful. Your task today is to help me pick out the peppers. Look at Weiguo, he has been working for a while." The reason why Bi Chunliu agreed to the blind date was to see if it was the Xing Fei she knew. She didn't think too much about anything else.

Bi Xiahe pulled Bi Chunliu to sit down and wanted to comb her hair again.

Bi Chunliu, sitting on the chair, wondered why Xia He seemed even more nervous than him, the one going on a blind date.

Bi Qiuguo also contributed her treasured red head flower, "Sister, this was bought for me by my mother back then. You must wear it carefully."

"I don't want it, I don't want it." Bi Chunliu refused. She really thought the red flower was ugly.

Bi Qiuguo couldn't believe his ears. How could anyone refuse such a beautiful red flower?

Bi Xiahe used a small rubber band to tie up her elder sister's hair, curled up the corners of her mouth and praised: "You look so beautiful!"

Bi Chunliu looked confidently at the mirror held by Bi Qiuguo, and she was stunned...

She has a long face, and now she has two tight pigtails on each side of her face, which is really in line with the current era. It's also really tight, and it seems that her eyelids are pulled up. But it's really not a good look. She should sell her hair today. It's better to keep it short, at least it's easier to wash.

Bi Chunliu loosened her braid slightly, glanced at the clock, and hurriedly put on her bag. "I'm already forty, I'm leaving first. You guys should pack up first. If I'm not back at noon, Weiguo will cook, and you two can help your brother. We'll make the chili sauce this afternoon. I guess it's too late to go to the suburbs."

The three of them nodded and said yes.

.

At the entrance of the state-owned hotel, Bi Chunliu took a few deep breaths and walked in.

Ren Qianjin had already arrived and was sitting at a table drinking water. When he saw Bi Chunliu come in, he called out to her, "Xiao Bi, come quickly!"

Bi Chunliu didn't see any man beside Ren Qianjin, so she walked over with a relaxed heart, "Chairman Ren."

"Well, Xing Fei went to buy some soda, he'll be right here." Ren Qianjin said something nice for Xing Fei, "You..." Ren Qianjin patted himself quietly. He was just setting someone up, why would he ask about their job? He quickly changed the subject, "Are your brothers and sisters home?"

Bi Chunliu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yeah, the three of them are obedient and don't usually run around."

Ren Qianjin: "That's great. What grade are you in?"

Bi Chunliu narrowed her eyes and smiled. It seemed that Chairman Ren was also inexperienced. Shouldn't she introduce the man in more detail at this time? "From the first to the third grade, one for each grade."

Xing Fei came in with a soda and saw a pretty woman with eyes curved with laughter talking to Aunt Ren. He put his free hand on his chest. His heart seemed to suddenly lose control, beating rapidly "thump, thump, thump", and his ears were filled with the sound of his heartbeat like drums.

I... don't seem to have to wait for Twilight Love anymore.

"Xing Fei is here?" Ren Qianjin looked towards the door and motioned him to come in quickly.

Bi Chunliu subconsciously looked towards the door. There was a man in a police uniform, holding a Beibingyang soda, and smiling naively. Then Bi Chunliu's mouth curled upwards into a smile. It really was him...
