After eating hot pot, Su Tiantian returned to the room and looked at her mobile phone. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon. She was really tired this morning, both physically and mentally. Tiantian, who was numb from blind dates, missed the days of going to work. Although the work was busy, she had money and motivation. She wanted to go back to Kuozhou City as soon as possible. She remembered that Vice President Xu asked her to go back to work early and postpone her annual leave, so she replied to Vice President Xu: Vice President Xu, Happy New Year, I will go back to Kuozhou City on the eleventh day of the first lunar month and go to work on the twelfth day of the first lunar month.
Vice President Xu replied immediately: Okay, the company will start work on the 12th day of the first lunar month. It’s great that you can come back. You can arrange time to take your annual leave when the time comes. There will be a New Year’s dinner on the 12th day of the first lunar month. The specific time and place will be notified to you in due time.
Su Tiantian: Okay.
On the other side, Liu Jingze thought about it and sent a WeChat message to Su Tiantian: Tiantian Happy New Year, my father has invited your whole family to have dinner at Siqi Farm at 6 o'clock today. Did you know about this?
Su Tiantian, who was holding the mobile phone, immediately replied: Happy New Year, Brother Jing, I know about this, our whole family will be there on time.
Liu Jingze: Ask your family what they want to eat. I will ask the chef to prepare it first and serve it when you arrive.
Su Tiantian: Brother Jing, you take care of it. I don’t want anything spicy.
Liu Jingze: Then I will ask the chef to prepare some signature dishes. Of course, you can add more dishes if you like them.
Su Tiantian: Brother Jing is still the most attentive.
Liu Jingze: I remember that Tiantian, you like to eat snacks and cakes. The colorful thousand-layer cake made on the farm is delicious and the color is beautiful too. You should try it when the time comes.
Su Tiantian: Thank you, Brother Jing.
Fortunately, they were chatting through WeChat. If Su Tiantian had chatted with Liu Jingze face to face, she would definitely be nervous. Her mind was full of scenes of her childhood with Liu Jingze. The boy's unrestrained and ostentatious appearance had always been in Su Tiantian's mind. From childhood to adulthood, Liu Jingze had always been a dazzling presence.
Sang Yimei, who was hoping to take a nap at noon, instead had a guest: her cousin, Su Tiantian's aunt. The aunt hadn't wanted to come, having previously introduced her eldest daughter-in-law's younger brother to Su Tiantian. How could one describe the situation? Did it feel like a blind date? The eldest daughter-in-law's younger brother's attitude was truly unfriendly. If the eldest daughter-in-law hadn't asked her to be the introducer, she wouldn't have considered doing so at all. Both sides were relatives, and if things didn't go well, it would be troublesome.
My cousin's wife had been forced to come today by her eldest daughter-in-law. This cousin's wife, Su Tiantian's, lives across from the creek in front of Su Tiantian's house. The creek is very narrow, only two meters wide, so the two families are actually not far apart. Therefore, she could see anyone from the Su family coming over. Seeing so many people going to the Su family this morning, my cousin's wife had been paying close attention. Then, the arrival of Fifth Aunt really attracted a lot of attention from the village. Fifth Aunt was a well-known figure in the village, and she was involved in a lot of gossip.
My cousin's wife guessed that everyone who came today was looking for Su Tiantian on a blind date. She was worried. Her brother wasn't paying attention, so how could she, as his sister, not care? Good girls are hard to come by, and her brother was always thinking about the one he had as a backup. What good could that have? He kept putting it off until he was older. So she begged her mother-in-law to go to the Su family to check things out, fearing that Su Tiantian already had someone she liked.
Faced with the eldest daughter-in-law's pleading, what could the cousin do? Moreover, she was curious when she heard that so many people went to the Su family for blind dates in the morning. So the cousin agreed to go to the Su family. The straight-line distance between the two families was close, but they still had to turn to the other side of the bridge, cross the bridge, and continue walking for another five or six minutes to reach the Su family. Passing by many houses, she heard people discussing the Su family's affairs. Some said that the fifth aunt was coaxed back to her eldest nephew and niece, and she spoke very loudly. Some said that the widowed man was actually very good-looking and had money, so he could be considered. Some said that the other party did not want to find a second marriage, and if he was willing, many women would want to marry him. Some said that Su Tiantian was 26 years old and should lower her requirements. She really walked all the way and heard all the gossip. Some people asked the cousin if she knew about the Su family. After all, she had a good relationship with Sang Yimei. The cousin always answered that she didn't know.
My cousin's aunt used to come visit quite often, so Sang Yimei wasn't surprised to see her. The two of them sat down to chat, and Sang Yimei brought out some snacks and mineral water.
My cousin said, "I don't even make tea."
Sang Yimei said: "Don't be polite to your cousin. I'm really too tired to make tea."
My cousin’s aunt picked up a handful of melon seeds, took a bite, and then said, “Your house is really lively this morning. I heard that you have a lot of guests. Let me tell you first, I didn’t want to come, but my eldest daughter-in-law asked me to come.”
Sang Yimei said, "I'm annoyed just talking about it. I was originally annoyed about Tiantian's marriage, but now I'm even more annoyed after meeting so many people. I've become a laughing stock to everyone in the village. That Fifth Aunt is really infuriating."
My cousin's aunt said, "You haven't found the right one yet? How about my eldest daughter-in-law's brother? She said that her brother has a crush on Tiantian."
Sang Yimei said, "No way, I've never seen Tiantian go out with him."
My cousin's aunt said, "My eldest daughter-in-law's brother-in-law has been spoiled since he was a child. Everyone in the family dotes on him. Plus, he owns a processing shop and is a bit arrogant. His temper is really average. He might not be proactive enough with Tiantian. I heard that he used to pursue a very beautiful girl, but that girl was always neither too gentle nor too close. But my eldest daughter-in-law said that her family is quite satisfied with Tiantian."
Sang Yimei said, "It's okay that he's pursued other girls before, but he didn't take the initiative. Does that mean Tiantian should take the initiative? Blind dates are consensual. If you don't want to continue, that's fine. There are many people who want to introduce boyfriends to Tiantian."
My cousin said, "That's true. Everything is mutual. If he doesn't take the initiative, then Tiantian has no reason to wait for him. She can continue the blind date. Tiantian's conditions are not bad, and your family conditions are also good. You will eventually find someone suitable for Tiantian. That fifth aunt spoke very loudly today. Someone nearby heard it and started gossiping."
