Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhang Rongying was matching her clothes in the bedroom. She was going to have dinner with her boyfriend's family soon, so of course she had to dress herself up beautifully to leave a good impression on his family.

The temperature in Nanning has dropped suddenly in the past two days, from over 20 degrees to around 10 degrees.

Speaking of the weather in the south, it is really a mystery to people in the north. The north was already covered with ice and snow three months ago, but people in the south, especially in southeastern Guangxi, are still wearing short sleeves!

Even people in southeastern Guangxi have experienced the strange weather of having to wear short sleeves on New Year's Day.

So, in winter, when is it cold, when is it not cold, and how long will it be cold? Even people in the south don’t know, let alone people in the north who have four distinct seasons.

After some comparison and selection, Zhang Rongying finally chose the more classic combination for girls in winter, which is a sweater as the base, paired with a short skirt, stockings and over-the-knee boots on the legs, and an over-the-knee coat, done.

Girls can keep warm and be fashionable by dressing like this.

After getting dressed, Zhang Rongying walked out of the bedroom with her bag in her hand, looking satisfied.

Seeing this, Zhang's mother couldn't help but ask, "Yingying, do you have a boyfriend?"

During this period, the daughter began to pay attention to her dressing up, and started to go out frequently at night when she was not at work. This was a big change from her previous lifestyle, which made Zhang's mother pay attention to it.

But she refrained from asking.

After all, my daughter is already working, so if she really wants to have a boyfriend, she would be happy to see it happen.

Now that this situation had been going on for a while, Zhang's mother felt that the time was ripe and couldn't help but ask.

"Mom, I really thought you could hold back from asking!"

Zhang Rongying smiled, then nodded and admitted: "Yes, I have a boyfriend!"

Zhang's mother's eyes lit up when she heard this. "How old is he? Where is he from? What job does he do?"

Hearing her mother's three questions, Zhang Rongying laughed and said, "Mom, it's almost time for the appointment. I have to go out for dinner. I'll talk to you about these questions slowly when I come back tonight!"

Zhang's mother said helplessly: "How long does it take you to answer a few questions, kid? You just keep us on suspense!"

Zhang Rongying opened the door and smiled, "He is 26 years old and is also from Bailiang County. I will talk to you about the rest when I come back. Goodbye, mother!"

Seeing her daughter close the door and leave, Zhang's mother immediately took out her cell phone and called her husband.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhang's mother couldn't wait to say, "My daughter has a boyfriend, did you know?"

…

5:46 pm.

In a Bailiang-style restaurant, Jiang Feng finally met his future sister-in-law Zhang Rongying.

"Hello, sister-in-law!" Jiang Feng greeted her immediately.

"Hello, sister-in-law!" Jiang Xue reacted quickly and greeted her as well.

Zhang Rongying greeted them gracefully: "Hello!"

The two sides greeted each other and exchanged some pleasantries before sitting down one by one.

After ordering the dishes, Jiang Feng asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I heard from my eldest brother that your grandfather is the chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and your father is the deputy chief physician of Pediatrics. Why did you choose Obstetrics and Gynecology?"

Zhang Rongying blinked, "Xiao Feng, is there any problem with this obstetrics and gynecology department?"

Jiang Feng said: "I heard that there is a popular saying among you doctors: Ophthalmology is gold, surgery is silver, obstetrics and gynecology is exhausting, internal medicine is annoying, and you would rather die than go to the emergency department.

From this jingle, you can see how busy and tiring the obstetrics and gynecology department is. "

Zhang Rongying smiled and said, "There is some truth in this saying, but most of us doctors are very busy. I chose to major in this field when I was in college mainly because of my interest!"

Jiang Xue continued, "Actually, this major is quite good. If I want to have a child in the future, I will know everything. It will be beneficial to both myself and the child."

Several people started chatting about the topic of obstetricians and gynecologists, and then they talked about male obstetricians and gynecologists.

Jiang Xue asked, "Sister-in-law, are there any male doctors in your department?"

Zhang Rongying replied: "Yes, there are two!"

Jiang Xue said: "It's still a bit embarrassing to have a male doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department. Just imagine going for a checkup and a man suddenly shows up. That scene is really too embarrassing!"

Zhang Rongying said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Our obstetrics and gynecology department also has many surgeries that require physical strength. Female doctors cannot compare to male doctors in this regard, so most hospitals have male doctors in the obstetrics and gynecology departments."

Jiang Feng said: "If it's a stranger, it's not that embarrassing. If it's an acquaintance, it's really embarrassing. I guess in reality, few acquaintances are willing to find a male doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department, right?"

Zhang Rongying nodded and said, "That's true. Unless it's a matter of life and death, doctors or nurses in other departments of our hospital won't look for male doctors for childbirth.

As for the two male doctors in our department, many people come to them for consultation when their relatives or friends are about to have a baby, but it is just consultation. When it comes to really giving birth, people will not come to our hospital but go to other hospitals.

This will save you from embarrassment!"

Jiang Fei continued, "It seems that it's not easy for male doctors in the obstetrics and gynecology department to find a partner. Yingying, are the two male doctors in your department still in a relationship?"

"As expected of a matchmaker, you keep talking about your profession!" Zhang Rongying smiled, "But you asked the right question. They are both still single. How about I mention it to them and ask them to come to you for matchmaking?"

Jiang Fei, who had his brother backing him up, was not afraid at all. "Sure, then you can introduce them to us. With the strength of our matchmaking agency, we guarantee that they will not be disappointed."

Zhang Rongying smiled and said, "Okay, I'll talk to them later!"

As they were talking, the waiters started serving the dishes one after another.

When dining at a Bailiang County restaurant, Baiqie is the must-order signature dish. After all, Bailiang County’s Baiqie is quite famous.

Jiang Feng and his friends ordered boiled goose and boiled chicken, as well as bamboo shoots, mountain water tofu, green vegetables, and a flavorful mudworm and sauerkraut soup.

This mud worm, also known as mud minnow, is a mite-like creature that lives on the beach and is widely distributed in the Beibu Gulf.

They can be collected all year round, especially during the Double Ninth Festival when the weather is clear and cool in autumn. The insects are larger, and people living on the beach go to the beach in groups to collect them for use as delicious ingredients. They rely on the small insect holes left on the beach and use a special triangular insect hoe to turn over the surface soil to look for insect tunnels with pink-green soil. They can find them by digging lightly and shallowly.

Whether this thing is steamed or cooked into porridge or soup, it tastes extremely delicious and you can't stop eating it.

Mudworm and sauerkraut soup is a soup that people in Bailiang County prefer to drink.

Jiang Feng smelled the unique aroma of oil and sauce of the boiled pork and couldn't help but feel hungry. He called his sister-in-law and started eating.

While eating, Jiang Feng said, "Sister-in-law, our family is planning to hold a fire festival on the 20th day of the lunar year. We would like to invite you to attend. I wonder if you can spare some time?"

"this……"

Zhang Rongying was a little hesitant. After all, once she agreed to this, it would mean that she would have to meet her boyfriend's parents. This speed was a little too fast for her and she was not mentally prepared yet!

Meeting your boyfriend's brothers and sisters has a different meaning than meeting his parents.

Jiang Fei said, "Yingying, come if you can spare the time. I'll be responsible for picking you up!"

Jiang Xue blinked and said, "Sister-in-law, this is your family too. You can't be absent for such a big event as 'Entering the Fire'!"

Seeing the three brothers and sisters persuading her one after another, Zhang Rongying finally agreed, "Okay then!"

…

After dinner, Jiang Fei drove Zhang Rongying for a ride and didn’t send her home until almost eleven o’clock in the evening.

When they reached the gate of the community, Zhang Rongying leaned over and kissed Jiang Fei on the face, "Go back and drive carefully."

Jiang Fei hugged her and gave her a long kiss, then said with satisfaction: "Well, go in, I'll watch you go in before I leave!"

Zhang Rongying hummed, glanced at him affectionately, then opened the car door and got out, walking into the community while looking back every few steps.

People in the early stages of a relationship are basically like this. They want to be together all the time and feel like they have missed each other for a long time if they haven't seen each other for a day.

When I got home, my parents were still awake and sitting in the living room watching TV.

As for my grandparents, they live in another house in the community.

When Zhang's mother saw her daughter coming back, she quickly turned off the TV and said, "Yingying, come over and tell us about your boyfriend."

Zhang Rongying was mentally prepared for this scene. With her mother's gossipy mind, she would definitely not be able to sleep tonight if she didn't find out the truth.

Anyway, she wasn't planning to hide it, otherwise when she went out before, she wouldn't have told her mother so readily that she had a boyfriend.

After walking to the sofa and sitting down, Zhang Rongying began to speak: "His name is Jiang Fei, he is from Qinghe Town, Bailiang County, he is 26 years old this year, 1.74 meters tall, he is not handsome, but I think he is very attractive. He currently runs a matchmaking agency in the provincial capital with his brother and sister, and the business is pretty good."

Zhang's father and mother looked at each other. The other party's conditions sounded pretty good.

Zhang's mother asked, "Do you have a photo of him?"

"Yes!" Zhang Rongying took out her cell phone from her bag, pulled out Jiang Fei's photo and handed it to her mother.

Zhang's mother took the phone and looked at the man on the screen with Zhang's father.

It turned out that it was similar to what my daughter said. He was not the type of guy who looked handsome at first glance, but he was kind and attractive, giving people a feeling of being loyal and honest.

Zhang's father expressed his opinion for the first time, "He looks quite honest."

Zhang's mother asked, "Yingying, what do his parents do?"

"His parents are just ordinary farmers."

At this point, seeing her mother frowning, Zhang Rongying couldn't help but smile and said, "Mom, our family isn't a wealthy family, so you wouldn't have the idea of ​​marrying someone of equal status, right?"

Zhang's mother said, "Yingying, although our family is not a wealthy one, at least three generations of your family are doctors, so you still have some status in society. If you choose a family that is well-matched, you will have fewer troubles in the future."

Zhang Rongying smiled and said, "Mom, don't mention the idea of ​​being well-matched. With the current development speed of their matchmaking agency, maybe in a year or two, our family won't be good enough for them!"
