Although it's a bit embarrassing, I can't go back now that I'm here.
They faked smiles at each other and walked inside. Jiang Li, who was taking care of the baby, heard the loud noise outside and pushed open the door and walked out in confusion.
She saw seven or eight families from the village coming at once, and she knew several of the girls.
My uncle is thirty-four years old this year. As he is the youngest child of his parents and an unexpected pregnancy of my grandmother’s, he is ten to twenty years younger than his other brothers and sisters in the family.
My grandparents had always been very worried about their youngest son, fearing that they would become too old to move or even die before they could see their son get married and have children.
This is indeed the case. They have been dead for many years and my uncle has been single until now.
Many of these girls who come for blind dates are only in their early 20s, no wonder they have to be secretive.
The age gap is almost one year. To put it bluntly, some of the girls are about the same age as Jiang Li.
If Zhang Guocai really found a young wife like this, it would be embarrassing to tell others about it.
They themselves knew that it was wrong, but Zhang Guocai's weaving skills were indeed good, Jiang Li was also a good money-maker, and Jiang Yi was said to be a top student.
Their family used to be in very poor conditions and others avoided them.
But now their family conditions are getting better and better, and Zhang Guocai is also a good person.
She doesn't smoke or drink much, and she can cook and take care of children. The most important thing is that she can make money.
In the past, I saw him dressed slovenly, his face and body were not very clean, and he looked like a nobody.
Now she is cleaner, and the clothes she wears are made of better material. She is very calm when knitting and is usually very quiet.
It seems that he is good-looking and reliable. Instead of letting her daughter marry those young men in their 20s, it is better to choose a mature and steady old man like Zhang Guocai.
Zhang Guocai's conditions are there, and many people are tempted by him.
This is why girls in their 20s do not mind Zhang Guocai's age and voluntarily come to him for a blind date after their parents persuaded them a few words.
But there were too many people coming, and Jiang Li’s house was too small to accommodate them all.
Jiang Li could only take a few benches and move a small table to the entrance of the yard.
She politely poured tea, took out some snacks, placed some melon seeds and peanuts on the table, and warmly entertained everyone who came for a blind date.
"My dear aunts and ladies, our home is small, and it's not appropriate to arrange blind dates all at once. How about we meet each one by one on a first-come, first-served basis?"
"I'm really sorry that you can have some tea and cakes here while you wait."
Jiang Li explained to everyone with a smile on her face. Even she herself felt that what she had just said was a bit inappropriate and she might offend someone if she was not careful.
What if these aunts and girls get so angry that they all leave, and there is no one to arrange a blind date for my uncle?
Unexpectedly, they were so tolerant and nodded in agreement, without looking like they were making things difficult for her at all.
Among these aunts, there are also two who are famous gossips in the village. They like to gossip about other people in the village and are famous for their long tongues.
Jiang Li originally thought that even if the other aunts could accept it, these two aunts would stand up and oppose it. Unexpectedly, even they acquiesced.
Everyone sat together in silence. After all, they were all competitors, so there was no need to talk so much.
They drank some water, ate some melon seeds and some cakes, and they were quite content.
The first person to arrive went in first and sat on a chair in the main room. Jiang Li was also polite and served tea and water.
Zhang Guocai was still knitting just before the blind date. He looked up in confusion when he saw the girl coming.
Jiang Li briefly told his uncle what happened today and urged him to go back and change his clothes.
Zhang Guocai was a little reluctant at first, but he could not resist his niece's enthusiasm, so he had to go back to his room and quickly change into a new set of clothes.
That is, the simplest black pants and white shirt. It was already early April, and Zhang Guocai had thick skin and strong muscles, so he wore a pair of homemade bamboo shoes on his feet.
As soon as he stepped out, Jiang Li quickly pushed him back and gave him a pair of leather shoes to change into.
Zhang Guocai always liked to listen to his niece, so he changed it immediately when Jiang Li asked him to.
Jiang Li took out a comb from his pocket and quickly scratched his uncle's messy hair a few times.
After changing his clothes and shoes and tidying his hair, my uncle, who was originally tall and thin, looked like a different person.
He stood there and looked quite handsome.
I was just in a hurry and didn't have time to shave, so I look a little handsome and manly.
Jiang Li felt very satisfied looking at his uncle like this.
My mother's family has good genes. My aunt and mother are both beautiful, and my three uncles all have good-looking facial features.
However, my eldest and second uncles have been hunching their backs and waists for a long time, so their temperaments are not very good.
In addition, they often do bad things, giving people the impression that they are shifty and unpleasant to look at.
My uncle is different from them. He is the youngest and the simplest child in the family.
He has a good personality, good looks, and a unique temperament.
Jiang Li followed Zhang Guocai. The girl who was preparing for a blind date lowered her head and felt a little embarrassed at first. But when she heard her mother say that Zhang Guocai was good-looking, she secretly raised her head and took a peek at him.
When the girl saw this, she was stunned.
Apart from Teacher Shen, she had never seen such a tall and handsome man in the village.
Is this really Zhang Guocai? She had gone with her family to look for him before, and had spoken to him a few times.
However, he was knitting with his head down and was too lazy to even raise his head, so he didn't see her face clearly.
If she had known that Zhang Guocai was so handsome, she should have asked her mother to bring her to propose marriage to him.
Zhang Guocai was a little embarrassed on his first blind date, and only sat down next to the girl after Jiang Li's urging.
His hands were folded on his legs. Apart from Pan Aijuan, this was the first time he had been so close to a girl.
Zhang Guocai felt uncomfortable all over, and Jiang Li could only comfort him in a low voice while explaining to the woman.
"My uncle is a bit introverted, and since this is his first blind date, it's normal for him to be a little nervous. Please don't mind!"
The girl's mother quickly waved her hand to show her understanding. "It's okay, it's okay. Everything has a first time. My daughter is also on a blind date for the first time, so she's a little nervous. Please forgive me if I'm being rude!"
Both sides were very polite. Zhang Guocai lowered his head and did not speak. Jiang Li could only introduce his basic situation on behalf of his uncle.
"My uncle Zhang Guocai is 34 years old this year. Both his parents have passed away and he doesn't have to deal with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Currently, he only has these few relatives in our family."
"My uncle can cook, take care of children, and help with cleaning. Although he doesn't talk much, he is very considerate..."
