Fang Jianjin quickly entered the kitchen and silently brought out the cooked dishes next to her.
"Just leave it there. I don't need your help." Mother Fang still insisted.
"I'm not helping you. I need to eat too, so can I just serve it myself?" Fang Jianjin replied speechlessly.
"Who said you have a share?"
"Then I'll eat my dad's share." Fang Jianjin cheated.
"you!"
Father Fang quickly stopped Mother Fang and said, "That's enough."
While saying this, he winked at Fang Jianjin.
With Mr. Fang as a mediator, the mother and daughter were finally able to sit at the same dining table.
Fang Jianjin saw that the table was full of her favorite foods and felt a little complicated. She softened her heart, which had originally wanted to confront her mother.
When they were almost done eating, she finally said, "Mom, I'm not trying to be against you. I just hate the feeling of being arranged to go on a blind date."
"What's the—"
"Mom, listen to me. Every time I'm arranged to go on a blind date like this, I start to doubt myself and my life. I always wonder if I'm a failure, a terrible person, and that's why others are looking at me like I'm a commodity, with all these critical eyes."
"Then don't you pick on others too? You just look down on many of them." Fang's mother immediately retorted.
"Mom." Fang Jianjin was a little disappointed.
"Just listen to what your daughter has to say and what she thinks." Father Fang said quickly.
"You are the only one who knows how to be a good person!" Mother Fang rolled her eyes.
Fang Jianjin sighed, bit her lip, and then continued, "I don't know what to say. I just hate this feeling. Why do I have to get married to be complete? Why do I have to be in a relationship to be normal? Am I abnormal now? I could be doing more meaningful things with this time. And mom, I really think that fate can't be forced. If you don't feel it, then you don't feel it. No matter how many blind dates you go on, it's useless. Okay, I'm done."
"Then you don't go on blind dates. You talk about cats and dogs all day long. Where are you going to find feelings? Are you going to talk about feelings with cats and dogs?" Fang's mother also broke down.
"I often hang out with cats and dogs, but that doesn't mean I don't interact with people. I even met up with my group friends today!"
Mother Fang choked and couldn't think of any rebuttal for the moment.
Fang Jianjin struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Mom, just let me go free for a while. Maybe if you let me go free, I'll meet the right person."
Mother Fang suddenly hesitated.
"Mom, does our family have to be in chaos?" Fang Jianjin said again.
Mother Fang then took a deep breath and said, "Well... well, I'll give you three months. If you still don't see any progress in these three months, then... you can just follow my arrangements again and go on a blind date!"
“And KPIs?”
"I don't care about your P or I, anyway, in three months, you have to bring me a boyfriend. If you can't, then just go on blind dates!"
"Okay, deal!" Fang Jianjin agreed immediately.
She didn't lose anything anyway.
If she can't find a boyfriend after three months, she will just have to go back to her current days of being forced by her mother to go on blind dates. In other words, she suddenly has three more months of freedom!
Great deal!
When she carried the dog cage out of the house, Fang's mother, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, suddenly reacted.
"No, Fang Xinghua, did I get fooled? I should have agreed with her to go on a few blind dates a week. If she still refuses, then I've wasted all my time negotiating terms with her!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Fang coughed twice, pretending to have a sore throat.
"Fang Xinghua, I'm asking you a question!"
"This...actually, it does have some benefits." Father Fang chose his words carefully.
"What's the benefit?"
"At least for the next three months, you two won't quarrel, which is very conducive to family harmony." Father Fang said calmly.
Fang's mother's face darkened, and she immediately threw the dishcloth into the sink. Then she said, "Surveys show that men doing housework is more conducive to family harmony. You wash it!"
After saying that, Fang's mother untied her apron and left the kitchen.
Mr. Fang, who was drinking tea, had no choice but to put down the teacup and go wash the dishes obediently.

But Fang Jianjin spent the entire afternoon in the pet hospital.
The appointment times of the two group friends were only half an hour apart, and she was too lazy to walk around, so she just waited in the pet hospital.
By the time we had arranged for Xiaobai, Teddy, and the cat and dog that were sent by group members later, and sent the group members away, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
This is the first day that these little cuties have moved into their new home, so Fang Jianjin naturally has to take good photos, organize the materials, and then try to post an article on the official account as soon as possible.
This kind of thing, like news, requires timeliness, so she also brought a computer and simply worked directly in the pet hospital. This way, if there is anything missing, she can make up for it immediately without going back and forth.
In fact, these might just be excuses. Her eyes always swept across the gate inadvertently. Fang Jianjin knew that she was waiting for Jian Xiu, otherwise she would go to the backyard instead of staying in the front hall.
Thinking of the glasses in the bag, she glanced at her phone. It was already past five o'clock, and Jian Xiu still hadn't come back.
Just then, an old lady pushed the door open and walked in.
"Xiao Dong, I'm here to handle the discharge procedures for Shitou. He can be discharged now, right?"
"Yes, Grandma Qiu, please wait for me, I'll go and get the stone out." Dong Qing, who was sitting in front of the cashier counter, said immediately.
Fang Jianjin discovered that this was her grandmother's old classmate, Grandma Qiu.
Thinking that her elders knew her, she couldn't pretend not to see it. She immediately put the computer aside, walked forward and shouted, "Grandma Qiu, please come and pick up the dog. I am Fang Jianjin, Kong Shuqin's granddaughter."
