Since they hadn't had a proper meal at Wangxianlou, Lin Yun and Zhao Gang found a small stall and ate and talked at the same time.
Wang Zhan had already fired the purchasing staff member, and the vegetables that Lin Yun brought over were naturally accepted by Wangxianlou again. After having dinner with Zhao Gang and parting ways, Lin Yun pulled his empty cart, thinking of going to visit his master.
Just then, he received a call from his mother.
"What? You want me to go on a blind date? The person is in the county town right now?" Lin Yun said speechlessly.
In the morning, when he left home, his parents had told him that they should find him a wife. But how long has it been? His parents have already found him a blind date.
"Mom, I have a girlfriend, I don't need to go on blind dates." Lin Yun had no choice but to tell her that he had a girlfriend.
"You have a girlfriend? What's she like? Where is she from?" Upon hearing Lin Yun say that he had a girlfriend, Lin's mother immediately asked on the other end of the phone.
“She’s a really nice person. Her family is from the Jiangnan region,” Lin Yun said.
Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, leaving one wondering if Lin's parents were discussing something.
Lin Yun waited about a minute before his mother spoke again on the other end of the phone: "Yunzi, I've already arranged for you to go on a blind date. I'm very close to the girl's aunt, so it wouldn't be good if you didn't go. How about this, you go and meet her, but don't mention that you have a girlfriend yet. I heard that this girl is very well-off, and she might not even be interested in you!"
"Okay, I'll go check where she is now and what her phone number is," Lin Yun said with a wry smile.
He has decided that once he meets the girl, he will find an opportunity to tell her that he has a girlfriend. They are both young people, and she should be able to understand.
Otherwise, what if he really catches the eye of the other party?
Lin Yun scratched his head. It seemed that he wasn't bad-looking, was he?
How did his mother say that many girls wouldn't be interested in him?
Back in his school days, he was really popular with the girls...
Soon, his mother gave him an address and a phone number.
Lin Yun knew this address, so he turned the car around and started walking in that direction.
During the journey, Lin Yun dialed a mobile phone number.
"You must be Lin Yun? I'm currently..." The girl's voice was quite pleasant, and she spoke very directly.
"Yes, I'm heading that way," Lin Yun said.
"Okay, then hurry up, I'll wait for you here." After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
Lin Yun was speechless. He hadn't expected the other party to be so efficient. He had been planning to see if he could explain the matter over the phone, but now it seemed he had no choice but to make the trip.
...
At Lin Yun's home.
"Since Yunzi already has a girlfriend, why are you still making him go on blind dates?" Lin's father asked, puzzled.
“The other party is from Jiangnan, which is at least a thousand kilometers away from here. How can Yunzi get married from such a distance? I heard that the bride price in the south is very high, plus such a long distance... We don’t even know the girl’s background. Getting married is a big problem, and visiting relatives in the future will also be a big problem. Going back and forth will probably take a lot of energy and money. Yunzi is young and doesn’t think about these things, but we as parents can’t not think about it for him!”
Lin's mother slapped Lin's father's arm and said irritably.
"Then why didn't you explain it to him clearly just now..." Lin's father said speechlessly.
"That's why I say you two have such similar tempers. If I had told him that earlier, would he still be willing to go on blind dates?" Lin's mother rolled her eyes at Lin's father and said.
"Alright..." Lin's father thought for a moment and sighed slightly.
It would be good to let Lin Yun meet that girl in the county.
For a girl from Jiangnan, such a long distance is indeed unrealistic.
...
Li Yan was in a bad mood.
She's shopping with her best friend today; her best friend is getting married in two days.
I'm quite busy.
At this time, her aunt called her and asked her to meet a boy.
She understood perfectly well what it meant; it was a blind date.
She had planned to decline, but her aunt said that the other party was in the county town, and it would only take a short time to meet.
Moreover, she has a good relationship with the boy's mother, so it wouldn't be appropriate to refuse.
The boy is also quite eligible; he works in Shenzhen and earns over ten thousand yuan a month. He might just fall for her.
However, she waited for twenty minutes, but no one came.
"Yanyan, don't worry, they might be here soon. It's the end of the year, there are lots of people on the streets, they might be stuck in traffic!" Her best friend Zhang Hui, standing beside her, was not in a hurry and comforted her with a smile.
“But you still need to buy things!” Li Yan said helplessly.
“I’ve bought almost all my things these past few days. It’s almost lunchtime now. Once he arrives, we can go eat and have a good talk. My affairs are nothing compared to your life’s most important matter,” Zhang Hui said with a smile.
"What do you mean by 'my life's most important event'? It's just a blind date, don't make it sound so serious!" Li Yan rolled her eyes and said.
"If you like someone, wouldn't that be a lifelong commitment?" Zhang Hui said with a smile, covering her mouth.
"Working in Shenzhen, earning over ten thousand yuan a month, that's not bad. I wonder what kind of work he does," Zhang Hui said curiously after a pause.
“No matter how good she is, could she be better than the one you found? Not only is she a civil servant, but her family also owns a storefront building, and the rent alone is over 100,000 yuan a year!” Li Yan shook her head and said.
His tone was full of envy.
So what if she earns over 10,000 yuan a month? That's only 120,000 yuan a year, which isn't even as much as the rent her best friend's boyfriend's family pays.
Moreover, the other party works outside, and it's impossible for them to work outside forever. Once they go home or their job changes, how much salary will they receive?
His relationship is far less stable than her best friend's.
These past few days, she accompanied her best friend shopping, and many of the things they bought were quite expensive. In a place like Xianyuan County, this was definitely a source of pride, making her very envious of her best friend for finding a good partner.
I heard that the bride price alone was over 100,000 yuan, which is quite high in Xianyuan County.
Just then, Li Yan's phone rang.
Upon seeing the displayed phone number, Li Yan subconsciously looked up and around.
Then, a young man pulled an empty bicycle over.
This young man was none other than Lin Yun.
"You must be Li Yan..." Seeing Li Yan's phone ring and her looking around, Lin Yun guessed that this girl was probably his blind date. He pulled his empty bicycle over and asked with a smile.
Seeing Lin Yun walk up to them, Li Yan's pretty face turned dark.
Is this her blind date?
Did they come pulling a cart?
Well! They arrived so late, there must have been a traffic jam on the way! Except, it was a car stuck in traffic!
A cart, a very primitive means of transportation!
Seeing the strange looks from the people around her, Li Yanzhen wished she could just bury her head in the ground or turn around and leave, pretending she didn't know them.
However, her upbringing prevented her from doing so.
"I'm Li Yan, and you're Lin Yun?" Li Yan took a deep breath and asked.
"I am Lin Yun!" Lin Yun nodded.
"Let's go eat first!" Li Yan turned and left, walking very quickly as if afraid of losing face by walking with Lin Yun.
Seeing this, Lin Yun could only helplessly pull the cart and follow.
Seeing this, Zhang Hui blinked.
She never expected that Li Yan's blind date would arrive in a cart.
However, the other person is quite handsome and has a good temperament.
Unlike Li Yan, whom she felt extremely embarrassed upon first sight, Zhang Hui scrutinized her more carefully, perhaps because it was unrelated to her.
