Two days later, Researcher Tian's parents insisted that he go back home. They said that Tian's mother was sick and there was no one at home to take care of her.
Researcher Tian was extremely anxious and immediately packed his things and went back.
Lin Chuchu and Researcher Hou were sent on assignment, and they happened to be in the same place as him.
We agreed to go together when we go back.
We arrived at the destination quickly and completed the handover.
The two men took my bodyguard for a stroll in the neighborhood.
The city's economy is doing well, and there are many shops on both sides. Lin Chuchu plans to buy some things and mail them home.
I bought beautiful silk scarves, stockings, and nice clothes. I also bought tea for Mu's father and lipsticks and cosmetics for Mu's mother and grandmother.
Lin Chuchu was carrying a bunch of things, and the guard saw her and immediately took them from her.
Lin Chuchu thanked them, then went to the post office, carefully packaged the item, filled out the mailing form, and paid.
Researcher Hou has only one mother and no other family members, so he didn't buy many things and spent much less money.
As noon approached, the four arrived at the state-run restaurant and were ordering food when a group of people rushed in. One of them was Researcher Tian.
Researcher Tian's face was somewhat dark. A girl next to him tried to move closer to him, but he dodged her.
He was wrong. He shouldn't have been soft-hearted and agreed to his blind date's invitation to have dinner with his younger brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and niece.
Who would have thought that this shameless family would actually send so many people here?
The girl seemed a little embarrassed and kept telling the children to behave.
There were six children and two adults, and each of them ordered a dish, including four pieces of meat.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Tian, these children haven't eaten meat in a long time. I'm really sorry."
Although Researcher Tian was wealthy and could afford it, he didn't want to be taken advantage of.
He smiled and said, "It's okay, we're just on a blind date. The rule for blind dates is to split the bill. You can each pay your own way."
The girl was taken aback. "Comrade Tian, who pays for blind dates? What do you mean? You don't like me?"
Researcher Tian scoffed; the girl's values shattered his worldview instantly.
"I'm not a sucker. A blind date isn't a wedding. What's the meaning of bringing so many people? Are you trying to get a big meal out of me?"
The staff around her stared at the girl's face with mocking expressions.
The girl was a bit shy, and her eyes were red. "I just asked you, and you agreed. Why do you want to go back on your word now? Aren't you rich? What's wrong with eating some of your food?"
"That's right, you stingy guy. You think you can marry my sister? Let me tell you, if your family doesn't come up with a dowry of five thousand yuan, it's absolutely not going to work."
A teenager, with his legs crossed and chin raised, said...
"Exactly, my aunt graduated from high school and has a job. Are you even good enough for her? What's wrong with spending a little money? You're such a cheapskate."
The other girl also looked at Researcher Tian with disdain.
Children don't lie; they hear what their parents and grandparents are saying.
Researcher Tian stared at the girl in shock. The girl was flustered, but she stubbornly raised her head.
"How can you believe what a child says? But they said that the higher the bride price, the more they value the girl. Isn't five thousand yuan a bit too little?"
The girl said shyly.
Researcher Tian chuckled to himself, realizing he shouldn't have been so soft-hearted towards her.
"Is your family trying to sell your daughter? Get out of here, all of you. This blind date doesn't count."
They haven't even officially started dating yet, and they're already making such big plans. What kind of people are they?
If they wait until the two get married, their whole family will be like a leech, sticking to them and impossible to peel off.
Did he marry one wife or dozens of wives?
Go back and tell your parents that they shouldn't agree to blind dates with just anyone.
The girl blushed as she was told off, feeling ashamed but mostly angry.
"What makes you think your family is so great? What's wrong with me eating a meal with you? You're so old, and I'm several years younger than you. Your family is lucky to have married me, and you're still being picky."
Researcher Tian rolled his eyes in exasperation. "My family can't afford such good fortune. If you don't want to leave, fine, but you can pay for the food you just ordered yourselves."
The girl instinctively took a step back, burst into tears, and turned to run away.
The group of children were terrified, but they were more disappointed that they hadn't gotten to eat any meat or vegetables.
After the seven people left, the state-run restaurant remained quiet.
After a while, Lin Chuchu chuckled. There are so many amazing people in the world.
Researcher Tian rolled his eyes at him; today was truly embarrassing.
He had just seen several people and felt ashamed to encounter such a thing in front of acquaintances.
"Comrade Lin, stop laughing. We're lucky to have gotten rid of them this time."
After laughing for a while, Lin Chuchu's expression turned serious.
Hearing this, Lin Chuchu's smile widened. "Ahem, why are you going on a blind date? Didn't you say your aunt was sick when you came back?"
Researcher Tian said with a frustrated look, "My mom lied to me. She called me back just to set me up on blind dates. This is the third one. I don't know what kind of luck I have. All the ones I run into are terrible."
Lin Chuchu looked at him with pity.
Just then, the manager of the state-run restaurant came over and asked, "Comrade, do you still want the food you ordered earlier?"
He felt sorry for Researcher Tian, so when he was watching the commotion, he didn't let the chef cook.
Researcher Tian glanced back at Researcher Hou and said, "Have you ordered yet? If not, just have them make all seven dishes."
