After dinner, the friends received a summons from the Queen and gathered together to wait for the guests to arrive.
"Your Majesty, shall we greet our guests the same way we did last time?" Li Zixing's four underlings asked in unison.
It's such a shame I didn't get to participate in the Queen's grand matchmaking event during the day.
"Yes, this is our style, we must maintain it," Zhou the matchmaker solemnly instructed.
"Xingxing and Daya, Chen Qin and Chen Zhao were at the door of the house, two on each side, while Chou Chou and Nannan went to the alley entrance to greet them."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Tie."
The three couples from the Li family next door gathered together, and upon closer inspection, it was clear that all three of the camp's top leaders were present.
Old Tao was also there, drinking tea while keeping an eye on what was happening next door.
Yes, they're just here to join in the fun.
Yao Lixiang had neither witnessed the previous blind date scene nor the blind date event held at the training ground, and she was filled with anticipation.
"Sister Zhang, I feel like Shishi's mind is getting clearer and clearer. She used to be playful, and that was really all she did. Now she can earn money to support the family."
When someone praises her daughter, the mother is overjoyed, but outwardly she remains humble.
"What support for the family? That's just child's play. She just got lucky and the matchmaker happened to be a good match for her."
Liu Mei just smiled, not wanting to expose her good friend's pride.
I've been Shishi's neighbor since she came to the island, and I've witnessed her changes and growth step by step.
The woman I first met is completely different from the woman I know now.
She used to be clueless and ignorant. She knew nothing but eating and playing. If you handed her a ladder and said it could lead to heaven, she would believe you and ask how to climb to heaven.
Treating the pigs raised by the army as if they were free, and spreading gossip verbatim without thinking – this is the best proof of that.
With her, you can experience what true straightforwardness is.
Now, if you covet her things or speak ill of her, she will turn around and scheme to make you see her but not touch her.
The youngest son had told him that the girl had taken pheasants to the family compound a few times, just to tempt a certain family member who had gossiped about her.
Sometimes she wondered if the water on the island was too nourishing, or if Xie Lin was a master at training, turning the naive little girl into the clever girl she is today.
Or perhaps it was the gradual healing of the head injury she had suffered that made her increasingly clear-headed.
Her youngest son is becoming more and more lively when he plays with her.
It's a good thing overall.
Professor Tang and Old Tao both said that the little girl was quick-witted when she was in the countryside, and who knows, given time, she might really recover.
After I refilled my teacup twice, there was finally some movement from next door.
The seven of them tacitly bent down to move small stools and sat down in a row against the wall. They had obviously been influenced by Shishi and their eyes were filled with the fire of gossip.
Two men and two women entered the Xie family courtyard, led by a welcoming child and greeted by the gatekeepers.
Four people sat at one table, two men on one side and two women on the other.
Matchmaker Zhou did her best to introduce the four people.
"Sister Yu, this is Brother Li. I specially introduced him to you. He likes beautiful wives, and you happen to be beautiful. He's also handsome. Your family is well-off, and his family isn't bad either. Oh, he's the deputy battalion commander."
She paused for a moment, then leaned close to Yu Qian's ear and whispered, "I have inside information. Little Li is going to be promoted. He has a bright future ahead of him."
My dad said there would be a promotion process after the Mid-Autumn Festival. This promotion opportunity was a reward from the higher-ups, thanks to her for developing the solar power generation system.
The list of outstanding candidates has been released and approved, and is just waiting to be announced. She saw Leonardo DiCaprio's name on it.
If revealing even a little bit of information could lead to a couple, that would be wonderful.
Yu Qian was slightly taken aback, but her attention was more focused on the nickname "Little Li Zi," which she found amusing, and her eyes crinkled into a smile.
The night was somewhat dark, but it didn't affect Li Pan's eyesight much. He accurately caught Yu Qian's fleeting smile, and his face turned even redder.
The girl was strikingly beautiful and had bright, expressive eyes that seemed to speak volumes, making his heart flutter. He had only come to make do, but now he suddenly felt nervous.
It turns out my sister-in-law is reliable; she wasn't lying to him.
"Sister Fang, this is Brother Ming. He works in the cafeteria. You should have seen him before, but knowing him doesn't mean you understand him. He's a very nice person, and his cooking is super delicious."
"By the way, he is the older brother of Sister Ming from the cultural troupe, and the brother-in-law of Xiao Hezi, the brother of my son Chou Dan. Xiao Hezi also knows your brother. They are all family. You two would be a good match."
"Brother Ming, Sister Fang works in logistics. She is very frugal and has a good relationship with her siblings. If you like families with good relationships, she would be a good match for you."
After a thorough and methodical introduction, the prepared dinner was served.
"This is my mom's cooking. There's fish, eggs, and vegetables. Oh, and you have to eat the candy and cookies too. If you finish them all, it means the blind date was a success. Okay, let's start eating."
Once the job is done, the matchmaker has fulfilled their duty and left the rest to the two of them to get to know each other.
The four of them looked at the eight people and three chickens squatting against the wall, their eyes fixed on them. They were so engrossed in the light in the eyes that they quickly looked away.
That enthusiasm, as if they wished they could get married right there and then, was really hard to resist.
Unaware that there were gossipy onlookers on the other side of the wall, the four of them remained silent, picked up their chopsticks, and began to eat; they were indeed hungry.
The main thing is that the food looks delicious. Fish is a common food, and eggs are usually served in egg drop soup, the kind where there's only soup and no egg. It's rare to have scrambled eggs, so we shouldn't let down the leader's wife's kindness.
The four semi-unfamiliar people shared a table and started chatting as they ate.
