At seven o'clock in the morning, Su Tiantian and Su Zhihao got up. Su Tiantian thought that she had to get up so early on her rare vacation, and she really wanted to get angry about getting up, but she didn't dare. At home, getting up at seven o'clock was already considered late, and her parents would get up at five o'clock.
Knowing that the two siblings were going to have morning tea, Sang Yimei only made breakfast for herself and Su Jinyuan. Su Jinyuan told Su Zhihao to remember to pay the bill, and Su Zhihao said, "I know."
Su Tiantian opened her phone and saw many unread messages. It turned out that her cousin Ma Yiqiang had sent her several WeChat messages in the middle of the night. The general content was that Zhao Ruiqian was indeed from the same village as him. He went out for drinks with a friend from the same village last night. He heard from that friend that Zhao Ruiqian had a girlfriend. The girl's family conditions were not very good and she had no job. Her parents did not agree and forced them to break up. Ma Yiqiang told Su Tiantian not to be attracted to this person. Su Tiantian told her cousin what happened last night. Her cousin was very angry and asked why he looked down on my cousin. Su Tiantian said, forget it, it's not worth getting angry for someone you have only met twice, then sent a crying emoji and said that he had to go on a blind date later. Her cousin said, I'm going on a blind date later too. Well, the New Year has become the best time for a blind date.
At 7:20, as they were about to leave, Su Jinyuan said to Su Tiantian, "You have to come back before noon. Your fifth uncle said he wants to introduce you to a boy. I'll let them have dinner here." Su Tiantian touched the monkey-shaped gold pendant on her necklace, frowned, and said, "Dad, I've only just met the third one, and you're arranging a fourth." Su Jinyuan said, "Meet a few more and compare them. Today is the 28th day of the lunar year, so there's no reason to meet them on the first day of the new year." Su Tiantian said, "Okay, I understand. I'll be back before 12 o'clock for dinner."
When Su Tiantian and Su Zhihao arrived at the restaurant, their eldest cousin, Su Zhiyao, and his wife, Lu Minhong, had already opened a table and sat down with a boy. After everyone was seated, Lu Minhong announced that they had ordered chrysanthemum tea. Su Zhiyao poured tea for everyone, then handed the menu to everyone, asking what they wanted. Everyone was polite to each other, saying, "Just order whatever you want." Finally, Lu Minhong made the decision, taking the order sheet and ticking the box. Lu Minhong pointed at Su Tiantian and introduced the boy, "Xiao Yunfei, this is my husband's cousin, Su Tiantian. She's 26 years old and works as a manager at a foreign-funded enterprise in Kuozhou City. The guy next to her is her younger brother." Su Tiantian and Su Zhihao both smiled and nodded, saying hello. Lu Minhong then said to Su Tiantian, "Tiantian, this is Xiao Yunfei. He works at the same place as me, is 27 years old, is from Xiaozhan City, and will be settling down in our own city, Zongxiao." Xiao Yunfei stood up and politely greeted the two siblings with a smile.
The temperature today is about 17 degrees, a bit cold. Su Tiantian is wearing no makeup and a beige V-neck velvet base sweater with pink pattern embroidery on the collar, revealing a necklace, a purple Chanel-style sweater and velvet jacket, black skinny jeans, and black sneakers. She looks less refined than an urban white-collar worker and more casual.
Xiao Yunfei is a little thin, about 175 cm tall, with a handsome face. He is dressed formally, with his hair styled with hairspray. He wears a black suit with smooth lines, a white shirt with a V-neck white sweater over it, and a blue striped bow tie. He looks gentle and refined.
The waiter brought out the dishes: red rice sausage, steamed chicken feet with abalone sauce, crispy sweet and sour pork short ribs, pan-fried cuttlefish corn cakes, walnut buns, barbecued pork buns, rice noodle rolls with XO sauce, flavored chestnut dumplings, traditional Mala cake, and peanut and salted bone porridge. My eldest cousin urged everyone to eat slowly and order more if they weren't full. The atmosphere was pleasant as they ate and chatted, mostly focusing on the families and work situations of both parties. Blind dates are like this: start with the realities and see if they're compatible. Su Tiantian rarely spoke, relying on Lu Minhong and Su Zhihao to ask and answer questions.
Su Tiantian always loved morning tea. She thought the red rice sausage looked pretty, the chicken feet were a bit spicy, and the ma la cake was very soft, so she tried a little of everything. Xiao Yunfei was a little nervous and didn't eat much, perhaps because his tastes were different from those of the locals. Eventually, they added each other on WeChat. Lu Minhong smiled and said, "You young people have your own ideas. Contact each other."
When it was time to pay the bill, Su Zhiyao and Su Zhihao were vying for the bill. At this time, Xiao Yunfei was sitting at his seat, just drinking tea, and seemed not to notice anything. Su Zhihao couldn't win over Su Zhiyao, and the waiter brought the payment code to Su Zhiyao. Su Tiantian said, "I'm sorry to have let my big brother spend so much money." Su Zhiyao said, "Brothers and sisters are my own family, so what can they say? Of course, as the big brother, it's my turn to treat us. I'm still waiting for Tiantian to treat me to the wedding." "You can treat me to a drink anytime." Su Tiantian said playfully. "You, Tiantian, you know very well that your big brother doesn't mean that."
On the way back, Su Zhihao said while driving, "Sister, I don't think Xiao Yunfei is right for you." Su Tiantian said, "I feel the same way. Let's talk about it when we get home. Mom and Dad will definitely ask about it later."
When they got home, Su Jinyuan was cooking and Sang Yimei was cleaning. As soon as they saw them, they came over to ask what was going on.
Su Tiantian sat down and said, "This person is not suitable for me."
Sang Yimei said, "Why not? Your sister-in-law said she works in the same unit as him. Your sister-in-law works in a public institution with good benefits. You can't just get a job there if you want to."
Su Zhihao said: "That boy is not from here."
Sang Yimei said, "I know. My sister-in-law said her home is four or five hours' drive from here, but she will buy a house and settle down in our city."
Su Tiantian smiled bitterly. "He has seven brothers and sisters, and he has always wanted to stay away from home. However, he can't afford to buy a house, and his family can't provide much help. He currently rents, and the company provides some housing subsidies."
Su Zhihao said: "He looks good and has the same education as my sister, but he doesn't know the situation well. When it was time to pay the bill today, he was sitting there drinking tea, and I rushed to pay with my eldest brother. The bill was not much, less than 300 yuan, but he was reluctant to pay."
Su Jinyuan took a sip of tea and said, "With so many brothers and sisters, it won't work. When I get married and have children, my in-laws won't help with raising the children, which will be stressful."
Su Tiantian said: "Although he and my sister-in-law work in the same unit, my sister-in-law has a regular job, but he probably doesn't."
Sang Yimei said, "Forget about this one. Let's meet the fourth one later. Your fifth uncle will be here soon."
