Huang Jianjun asked about the time and found that it was almost eight o'clock, so he hurriedly pushed his bicycle and set off.
Since Huang Jianjun and Mu Shengnan had already shown each other photos, neither set of parents planned to attend today.
The plan is to let the two young people get to know each other on their own. Since they've seen each other's photos and are still willing to meet, it at least proves that neither of them dislikes the other.
After seeing Huang Jianjun set off on his bicycle, Huang Qinqin excitedly pulled Chen Zhaodi along, saying, "Mom~ let's go take a look too?"
Glancing at Huang Qinqin, who was clearly eager to watch the show, Chen Zhaodi unusually refused: "No, what would we do there? When you and Junhui were dating, we didn't follow behind."
"Oh dear, Mom, I'm worried about my second brother!"
"If we go with him, and he gets too nervous and makes a mistake, we can help him fix it, right?"
Seeing that Chen Zhaodi wouldn't agree, Huang Qinqin leaned on Chen Zhaodi's shoulder and started whining and throwing a tantrum—oops!—acting coquettishly.
Chen Zhaodi bluntly stated, "I think you don't want to help salvage the situation, but rather to make fun of your second brother right here and now, don't you?"
"You think you can hide your little schemes from me?"
"Hehe~ Mom, you just need to know, don't tell anyone. Come on, come on~ We'll miss our chance if we're late~"
Huang Qinqin knew immediately that Chen Zhaodi had wavered, so she pressed her advantage.
To be honest, Chen Zhaodi also wanted to join in the fun. She knew in her heart that this matchmaking would most likely be successful.
but!
Similarly, there's a high probability her silly son will make a fool of himself. It's obvious that Huang Jianjun has feelings for Mu Shengnan, and he's just too nervous today.
Putting everything else aside, just look at the dried longan he was carrying in his pocket. What kind of kind person would bring dried longan when meeting someone for the first time?
It tastes good, but it's a hassle to eat and leaves a lot of trash. You can't expect a girl to carry a handful of trash around with you, can you?
"But we haven't bought groceries yet. If we go and join the crowds, what will we eat for lunch?"
Chen Zhaodi's only concern was this. It wasn't impossible to have Huang Eryuan buy groceries. However, he was unreliable when it came to grocery shopping and often overspent.
Let Huang Jianguo go, even though his stitches have been removed. But the doctor also said that although he doesn't need crutches, he should rest for another three to five days.
Try not to walk for too long; take a break after walking for a while.
Upon hearing this, Huang Qinqin thought, "That's easy!"
She immediately said, "Mom, just let Junhui go buy it. He's not a great cook, but he's very good at grocery shopping."
Xu Junhui panicked: "What will you do if I go to buy groceries? I can't let you go out alone!"
Huang Qinqin linked arms with Chen Zhaodi: "Why are you alone? Mom will come with me."
Faced with the choice between watching the spectacle and helping her son-in-law, Chen Zhaodi resolutely chose to watch the spectacle.
"Junhui, don't worry. Mom will take good care of Qinqin and make sure she doesn't lose a single hair."
"Well, thank you for helping us buy groceries today. We'll try to be back as early as possible."
After saying that, Chen Zhaodi stuffed the money she planned to use to buy groceries that day into Xu Junhui's hand.
Then he and Huang Qinqin made a hasty escape.
Only Xu Junhui, Huang Eryuan, and Huang Jianguo, three grown men, remained there silently.
Huang Eryuan enthusiastically said, "Then I'll go through the trouble of accompanying you, son-in-law, to buy groceries. Let's go!"
Looking at Huang Eryuan's familiar expression, Xu Junhui inexplicably thought of Xu Weiguo's appearance after he ran out of pocket money.
He had a gut feeling that he might be going to lose money today...
......
After arriving at the state-run restaurant, Huang Jianjun realized that he had been completely fooled by Huang Qinqin.
He has to go to work, so what if it's almost 8 o'clock? He and Mu Shengnan are supposed to meet at 9 a.m.!
He glanced at the clock at the state-run restaurant and realized it was only 8:06, which meant he might have to sit there dumbfounded for an hour.
Fortunately, there weren't many people at the state-run restaurant today, so the waiter didn't kick him out.
Compared to the agonizing Huang Jianjun, Huang Qinqin and Chen Zhaodi, who set off later, were much more relaxed.
"You just tricked your second brother into leaving so early so that you'd arrive at the perfect time?"
Chen Zhaodi looked at her cunning daughter and couldn't help but admire her. She really did plan five steps ahead for every one she took.
Huang Qinqin readily admitted, "Yes!"
“It takes us half an hour to walk there. If my second brother hadn’t set off earlier, they might have already gone somewhere else by the time we got there.”
If Huang Qinqin wants to watch the excitement, she definitely needs to plan the time and place in advance.
Referring to her own experience with Xu Junhui, she estimated that she would stay at the state-run hotel for at most an hour, and then, regardless of whether things went well or not, she would move to another location.
They couldn't leave early, as that would be too obvious, so they had no choice but to let Huang Jianjun leave early.
Huang Qinqin didn't stop along the way, constantly asking about Mu Shengnan.
When Chen Zhaodi arrived at the state-run restaurant, she felt that she had talked herself hoarse.
Huang Qinqin originally thought they would definitely make it in time, but who knew that when they arrived, Mu Shengnan had already arrived as well.
Mu Shengnan and Huang Jianjun met around 9 a.m., not because she couldn't get up, but because she usually exercises a lot, so she has a large appetite.
Thinking that they would meet at 9 o'clock, she arrived at the state-run restaurant at 8 o'clock to have a meal first. Afterwards, she would have a small meal with Huang Jianjun, just enough to make do.
She had a good impression of Huang Jianjun, but was afraid that her large appetite would scare him during their first meeting.
She miscalculated; as soon as she entered the state-run restaurant, she spotted the somewhat dejected Huang Jianjun.
Mu Shengnan glanced at her watch in surprise; 8:09 was correct. However, since Huang Jianjun had arrived early, she couldn't pretend she hadn't seen him.
"Hello, I am Mu Shengnan."
Huang Jianjun sensed someone approaching and was about to say that someone was here when he heard Mu Shengnan introduce herself.
He stood up somewhat flusteredly: "Hello, my name is Huang Jianjun!"
Huang Jianjun glanced at Mu Shengnan, then immediately looked away shyly. Mu Shengnan was already quite handsome in the photo, but she was even more imposing in person, making him blush and his heart race even faster.
Huang Jianjun was nearly ten centimeters taller than Mu Shengnan, but Mu Shengnan noticed that their identities seemed to have been switched.
She remained calm, but Huang Jianjun blushed shyly, looking like a shy young wife—it was quite adorable.
After he finished introducing himself, Mu Shengnan kept looking him over, and Huang Jianjun was so anxious that he made eight hundred small movements in a minute.
"Sit down and let's talk. Have you had breakfast?"
