Chapter 161: Er Nengzi's Blind Date
When Lin Xiaotong opened it, she found a can of chocolate candy inside, which looked quite expensive.
I stuffed it back in and strolled home.
"Mom, I'm back. Ta-da! Ta-da! Come and try this and see if it tastes good."
Gao Xiulan squinted her eyes on the recliner, listening to the storytelling on the radio, with Xiaoju nestled in her arms.
At the sound, the tail lifted up.
"Hmm, it's quite delicious. It tastes weird."
Gao Xiulan had a candy stuffed in her mouth. She didn't pay attention to it, but when she ate it, it tasted bitter at first but then sweet, and the taste was very different.
"It's the chocolate that Sister Cuicui gave me."
"It tastes good. Bring some jerky tomorrow for them to try."
Gao Xiulan opened her eyes and stood up to serve the dishes.
"Okay, Mom, today I..."
Lin Xiaotong also followed her to the kitchen to serve dishes and get bowls, and kept chattering in Gao Xiulan's ear.
…
The next day, Ernengzi dressed up neatly, put on a neat Zhongshan suit, and looked like a respectable person.
"Mom, I'm not embarrassing you by doing this, am I?"
Before going out, he spread his shoulders and walked around in front of Jin Qiaofeng.
"This outfit really makes your mother proud. Go talk to them properly and don't cause any trouble!"
Jin Qiaofeng straightened her son's collar.
"Okay!"
After watching her son leave, Jin Qiaofeng took her little notebook and went to do her business.
She has things to do and is busy.
…
Ernengzi went to a teahouse. He arrived first and ordered a pot of jasmine tea. He leisurely watched people coming and going outside the window.
The teahouse was also bustling with activity. The spring weather was quite nice, and many more people were going out.
There were a few old men setting up a chess set and shouting; there were also people running errands for friends to "matchmake" (matchmake house transactions).
It’s okay to come alone. You can stretch your neck and chat with the person sitting next to you. You can talk about anything from the weather to the harvest. You can chat about trivial matters for a whole day with a pot of tea.
Come to the teahouse to drink tea and you will taste the flavors of life.
Ernengzi sat inside by the window. There was a large green plant behind the seat, which made it a little quieter and more private.
I took a sip of jasmine tea, which was both fragrant and bitter. The fragrance naturally came from the jasmine flowers, and the bitterness naturally came from the tea. It was bitter every time I took a sip, but it was especially good for clearing heat and helping digestion.
He waited and waited but no one came, so he patiently ordered some snacks, sachima and hibiscus cake.
Both of these snacks taste a bit sweet and go perfectly with tea.
While I was eating, someone came from next door and the green plants moved.
A person happened to be sitting back to back with him. Ernengzi looked back and saw, oh, another couple.
He just sat there quietly in the background, but his ears were perked up to hear the news.
Ernengzi ate and drank tea while listening with great interest.
"Comrade, you must be Comrade He that Aunt Hua introduced to me."
"Um, yes, you are?"
That’s right, the one sitting back to back with Er Nengzi was He Cuicui. She told herself to talk less, so she pretended to be very cool.
"Oh, then let me introduce myself first. My name is Lou Yu, and I currently work at the post office."
"But you may not know that there is only one elder in my family, and he is old. I may be the only one in my family in the future."
The man looked very serious while speaking, sitting upright, and was too embarrassed to look her in the eyes while talking.
After hearing this, He Cuicui looked at the good-looking blind date and thought: This guy is quite honest. He reveals his shortcomings right away.
No, we can't take it lightly.
"Well, my family is quite large. I have several brothers."
The implication is that her family is not easy to mess with, so I won’t say more.
Then he asked, "So, are you and the old man the only ones living in your house now? That room seems quite empty."
Housing in the city is still very tight now, and most families of five or six people are squeezed into a ten-square-meter tube-shaped building.
"Yes, but my family lives in the suburbs. I'm still waiting in line for housing allocation from my company. I'll have news soon."
"Is that so? Then what are your family's requirements for your partner?"
"The old man doesn't have any requirements. I'm not young anymore and it's time for me to start a family. I don't have any big ideas. I just want to be with my family."
The person on the other side was as frank as ever, and even smiled at He Cuicui after he finished speaking.
I was almost mesmerized and pinched my arm under the table.
"and you……"
Before Er Nengzi could finish listening, someone came over to him.
"I'm sorry, comrade, I'm late."
When he looked up, he saw a shy lesbian wearing a small floral top. This must be his blind date.
"Oh, it's okay, do you want some tea?"
Er Nengzi exchanged some polite words and handed the teapot to her. He originally wanted her to pour it herself, but she just sat there with a red face and didn't move.
Okay, it’s also easy. Ernengzi poured a pot of scented tea and handed it to the person.
"Thanks."
Ernengzi felt that if he hadn't pricked up his ears, the sound would have been difficult for anyone to hear.
"You are Comrade Chang An, right? I am Xu Huiping, introduced by Aunt Qiaofeng. I am now a nurse in the hospital."
"Yes, I am Chang An. You should know my situation."
Ernengzi knew that this was someone introduced by her mother, and she estimated that her situation had been completely revealed to her.
"I've heard a little bit too. Comrade Chang is in very good condition."
They hadn't even said a few words yet, but he already felt tired talking to her because he had to concentrate to understand what she was saying.
He was brought up by Jin Qiaofeng, so naturally he is a straightforward, loud-mouthed person.
"Comrade Xu, could you please speak a little louder? I can't hear you."
The person opposite him blushed even more when he heard this. His whole face looked like it was burning, and blood was dripping from his earlobes.
Er Nengzi felt bad for her. Her voice was like the hum of a mosquito, and her face would burn when she spoke loudly. If they really lived with her, wouldn't it be torture?
He figured it out and told the lesbian clearly that this person was not suitable for him.
"Comrade Xu, I think we're still not suitable. Why don't I go back first? You can enjoy this snack slowly."
"Hey, comrade, why is it not suitable? After I marry you, I will definitely be filial to my mother-in-law. I work very well, so you don't have to worry about the housework."
"Ahem, no, didn't we just go on a blind date? Why are we talking about the future already?"
Ernengzi was just about to have a sip of tea before leaving, but after hearing the female comrade's bold words, he choked on his tea.
The key point is that he didn't think of finding a wife just to go home and work, so now he's just looking for a nanny.
"My family consists of just my mom and me, and we do all the housework together. There's really no need for me to take on everything."
Ernengzi also couldn't understand why anyone would like to work at home, it was so tiring.
"I can do it, I don't need you. I do all the housework myself."
Xu Huiping didn't care about anything else and started explaining in a louder voice.
She knew that apart from being a little older, Chang An had all the other good qualities. As long as she married him and gave birth to a few more boys for the Chang family, she wouldn't have to worry about her future life.
When she is at home, she and her sisters all have to work. Her mother taught her since she was a child that girls should not be lazy, should eat less and work more, so that her husband and mother-in-law will be satisfied with her.
Under her mother's guidance, she spoke softly and worked quietly. When her father, brother and sister talked during meals, she kept silent and just listened.
