"So you're Comrade Xu's mother, hello, hello," Chen Zhaodi responded in a friendly manner.
“My name is Chen Zhaodi, you can just call me Zhaodi. This is Qinqin’s father, Huang Eryuan. This is Qinqin’s eldest brother, Huang Jianguo, and her second brother, Huang Jianjun.”
Just then, Huang Qinqin finished pouring water and came out. She was surprised to see Zhang Yumei: "Auntie, it's you! Did you come here specifically to see me?"
Seeing Huang Qinqin and Zhang Yumei greet each other, Chen Zhaodi asked curiously, "Girl, do you know each other?"
Zhang Yumei explained, "Qinqin helped me a lot yesterday, let me tell you..."
"Yesterday I was really curious about who could raise such a good and kind daughter. Today, when I see you, I know you take after your parents!"
Chen Zhaodi's eyes shone with pride, but she said modestly, "Not at all, it's just a small matter, nothing as exaggerated as you make it out to be, haha."
Zhang Yumei patted Chen Zhaodi's hand and sighed earnestly, "Really, I really adored her back then. I always thought to myself, how wonderful it would be if this girl were my daughter-in-law!"
"Then when they asked my name, it was a coincidence. So I came here today while the factory was on holiday, hoping you could give my son a chance to meet Qinqin."
Huang Qinqin was a little confused when she suddenly heard her name mentioned and that they were looking for a partner. She suddenly didn't understand what was going on.
Xu Hongxia, who was quietly standing to the side, looked at Huang Qinqin's slightly bewildered expression and kept screaming in her heart: So cute! I really want to pinch her cheeks!
Xu Hongxia was very satisfied with her sister-in-law; she was beautiful and seemed to have a good personality, so she was sure they would get along well. Now it all depended on whether her brother would live up to her expectations.
Chen Zhaodi was definitely willing, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to find Xu Junhui. However, she still needed to ask her daughter's opinion.
“Honey, do you remember Xu Junhui that we met the other day? This is his mother. He happens to be single too. Why don’t you two go and meet him another day?”
Huang Qinqin certainly remembered. After all, Xu Junhui was so stunned when she first met him that she probably wouldn't forget him anytime soon.
But suddenly he said he wanted to go on a date with him, well, that's fine too. Although we've only met twice, my impression of him is much better than that of Xu Jingui.
So he nodded without hesitation, "Okay."
Hearing Huang Qinqin agree, Zhang Yumei was overjoyed and discussed the timing of the matchmaking with Chen Zhaodi.
......
Before they knew it, the day arrived for Huang Qinqin and her partner to meet.
It was a familiar scene, with familiar dialogue.
Huang Qinqin felt a deep sense of powerlessness as she watched them fiercely discussing what clothes she should wear.
Because her suggestion to wear the white shirt from last time was rejected by everyone in the family, she could only listen to their various opinions.
In the end, Chen Zhaodi made the final decision, letting Huang Qinqin wear the dress made of Dacron fabric.
Since the meeting place was a state-run restaurant, Chen Zhaodi thought wearing a skirt would be nice. Besides, based on her impression of Xu Junhui, she felt he wasn't the type to mess around, so she felt more at ease.
When Huang Qinqin came out after changing her clothes, Chen Zhaodi looked her up and down. Her slender waist was so delicate that it could be encircled by one hand, and her three-quarter length skirt revealed her slender and fair legs, making it hard to look away.
However, Chen Zhaodi still clicked her tongue, feeling that something was amiss: "Girl, why are you so thin?"
He glanced at the others around him, then leaned close to Huang Qinqin's ear and whispered, "Girl, your chest seems a bit small. It looks like you have no curves..."
Huang Qinqin thought Chen Zhaodi was going to say something to her, but it just ended like this...
It's not that she doesn't want a shapely figure, but what can she do if it just won't grow bigger? Huang Qinqin's face gradually turned red.
But not out of embarrassment, but out of anger. He snorted loudly twice and said in a harsh voice, "Isn't this just like you?"
Hey, Chen Zhaodi was unhappy to hear this, but seeing that all the men in the house were there, she kicked them out first.
"Go, all of you, get out. I have something to say to my daughter alone."
After everyone else had left, Chen Zhaodi walked up to her daughter, raised her head and puffed out her chest, and said, "Daughter, we have to speak from the heart. Look at me, look at my figure, can you still say that you take after me?"
Huang Qinqin laughed in exasperation at Chen Zhaodi's childishness: "Mom, what mother would criticize her daughter for not having a good figure? Besides, I'm just not obviously big."
Seeing that Huang Qinqin was a little angry, Chen Zhaodi didn't dare to tease her anymore. After all, if her daughter was really angry, she wouldn't be so easy to coax.
He quickly changed the subject: "It's about time, let's go, it wouldn't be good to keep others waiting too long."
"Let's go, let's go."
......
State-run restaurants
The appointment was for 11 a.m., but Xu Junhui arrived at the state-run restaurant just after 10 a.m.
Zhang Yumei came with him, and she and Chen Zhaodi will leave together when Huang Qinqin and the others arrive.
Xu Junhui checked his watch every few minutes and tugged at his clothes. A little nervously, he asked, "Mom, how do I look in this outfit? Is it alright?"
"Sure, why not? You've asked me eight hundred times already." Zhang Yumei had been asked this countless times that morning. She could hardly believe that this nervous and flustered person was actually her son.
She had never seen Xu Junhui so nervous before. He always seemed so confident and indifferent, so she thought he really didn't care about anything.
She had mentioned introducing him to potential partners a few times before, but he always said he wasn't considering it and wanted to focus on his work. She thought he really didn't want to get married.
It seems like there were no good ones for me, but now that I've met someone I like, I can't stay calm.
However, Zhang Yumei also hoped that Xu Junhui's matchmaking would be successful today, firstly because she also liked Huang Qinqin very much; secondly because Xu Junhui was already twenty-two years old this year, and when Xu Weiguo was twenty-two, Xu Junhui had already been born.
If this drags on any longer, she's afraid Xu Junhui will remain a bachelor for life. After all, marrying off a daughter is easy, but finding a wife is not.
Just then, she caught a glimpse of Xu Junhui standing up, and guessed that Huang Qinqin and the others had arrived.
Looking back, it was indeed true. It has to be said that Huang Qinqin, dressed up, was even more eye-catching; even she was stunned, let alone Xu Junhui.
Seeing her son staring blankly at the other person, Zhang Yumei gave him a couple of tugs of her irritation.
Xu Junhui felt someone tugging at him, and looked down at Zhang Yumei, who seemed completely oblivious to what was happening.
Zhang Yumei said impatiently, "Say hello to them! What are you standing there for?"
