Lin Zhao liked people like her who didn't spoil the fun, so she pulled her into the house.
Yuan Xiang didn't look around, and engraved the words "honesty and integrity" on his forehead.
With a "click!"
The wardrobe was opened and Lin Zhao took out a set of clothes.
She said enthusiastically, "I have altered these two pieces to your size. Xiangxiang, try them on. If they fit, wear them. They have all been washed."
After saying this, he walked to the door and turned his back.
Yuan Xiang hesitated for a moment, pursed his lips, and changed his clothes.
After putting them on, I found that the size was perfect. There were no patches on the shirt or pants. They looked like new.
Her heart warmed.
"Zhao Zhao, it's okay." Yuan Xiang said in a low voice.
Lin Zhao came to her senses, saw her cousin's red ears, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
Then he looked her over.
"It looks good and suits you very well." Lin Zhao praised, with admiration in her eyes that could not be concealed.
Sister Xiangxiang works in the fields every day. Her skin is not white, but she has delicate features and naturally thick black hair. When she wears new light grey clothes, she can be described as pretty and charming.
Her beauty is a virtuous beauty, and she seems to know how to live her life.
Yuan Xiang's ears turned red from the compliments and her cheeks turned red. She didn't know where to look and said shyly but firmly, "How can I look good in front of you?"
Who doesn’t like to hear nice words?
Lin Zhao's red lips curled up, her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, "Each has its own beauty."
Then he found a cloth bag, packed Yuan Xiang's old clothes, and pulled her out of the house.
"Sister Xiangxiang, did you eat the vegetable box from yesterday?"
Yuan Xiang nodded, "Mm, it tastes really good."
"I'm willing to use oil, so it tastes good no matter how I cook it." Lin Zhao smiled, "What do my parents think? Do they like it?"
"They all like it!" Yuan Xiang said, "My uncle said your cooking skills are getting better and better, my aunt also said it's delicious, and Dadan and the others are happy too."
Lin Zhao raised her chin slightly. Yes, she is so great!
She thought of the Qingluo root she had sent back, and looked at Yuan Xiang seriously, "By the way, is the thing I asked my eldest and second brothers to bring back useful to my father?"
Yuan Xiang was not so clear, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know. But when we left, my uncle was still asleep. My aunt said that it was rare for my uncle to have a good night's sleep, so she let him sleep a little longer."
Lin Zhao's eyes lit up.
She knew that her father had severe sleep disorders, and being able to sleep well meant that it was useful.
The eldest and the second oldest came over, the two kids holding pancakes and a bowl of malted milk in their hands.
They put their things down.
"Mom, here's your breakfast. Dad has gone to the new house, so he asked us to supervise you while you eat. You must eat everything. The pancakes were baked by Dad. They are crispy and greasy. They are delicious." The second child chattered.
Lin Zhao leaned forward and sniffed it, then smiled and said, "It smells really good. Have you eaten it?"
"Let's eat." Today was the first time that the eldest son saw his father cook. He also learned it secretly. When he learned it well, he would cook for his mother.
The child's eyes rolled around, revealing his cunningness.
Lin Zhao felt something was wrong and looked at the two boys inquiringly, "Why didn't you two take a nap? Do you have any plans?"
The two brothers smiled mysteriously and said nothing, doing a very good job of keeping the secret.
Lin Zhao did not interrogate the children, but only said: "You can play, but you must pay attention to safety. You must not go to dangerous places like rivers and mountains without an adult."
"We are not children anymore." The eldest boy said with a serious expression.
Erzai also felt that his mother looked down on them and looked at Lin Zhao disapprovingly, "Brother is right, we know where we can go and where we can't go. Mom, don't always treat us like children!"
Lin Zhao: “?”
She couldn't help laughing in her heart, "Okay, okay, I won't treat you as children anymore. Comrade Da Zi and Comrade Er Zi are both big friends now, you know what's going on."
The two little comrades were very happy.
"Mom, you eat, let's go find Maodan to play with." The eldest cub remembered what Maodan said yesterday and took them to find bird eggs.
"Do you have any more biscuits? Take one. If Maodan doesn't have any left, give it to him," said Lin Zhao.
The two brothers were very happy, and their voices were cheerful, "Hey."
He went back to the kitchen, got a cake, put a few candies in his pocket, and left happily.
"Second son, stop jumping. If you jump again the candy will fall off." The eldest son reminded his younger brother.
The second child didn't even turn his head, "No way, my pocket is very deep, I asked my mother to sew it extra deep."
The voices faded away.
"Sister Xiangxiang, please sit down first. I'll go wash up." While brushing her teeth and washing her face, Lin Zhao made another bowl of malted milk for Yuan Xiang.
"Sister Xiangxiang, you drank malted milk. Did you eat it? If not, have a piece of bread together."
Yuan Xiang waved his hands hurriedly, "I ate..."
"Then drink the malted milk. By the time you finish, I should be done eating, and then we can set off." Lin Zhao ate the biscuit slowly.
It was the first time for Yuan Xiang to drink malted milk in his life and he found it really sweet.
After breakfast, Lin Zhao put on her hat, put on her backpack, and pushed her bicycle out.
Carrying Yuan Xiang to the county.
This was Yuan Xiang’s first official blind date after her engagement was broken off. She was a little nervous, gripping the back seat of the bicycle tightly with both hands, her lips pursed until they turned pale.
"Sister Xiangxiang, are you nervous?"
Yuan Xiang nodded, and thinking that Zhao Zhao couldn't see, he said, "A little bit."
"Zhao Zhao, I'm from the city, what if I don't like you?"
She knew that people in the city were arrogant and had a strong sense of superiority. She had a rural household registration, no job, and no education, so no city person would want to date her.
Lin Zhao's legs paused for a moment while pedaling the bicycle, and the bicycle slid forward due to inertia.
She is a very confident person and cannot understand her cousin's thoughts.
"If he doesn't like you, then he doesn't like you. There are plenty of good men." Lin Zhao smiled helplessly, "It's as if he doesn't like you, so you can't get married!"
"Don't think like that. The key to a blind date is the word 'appearance'. It's about both parties liking each other, not the man being picky about the girl. When he's choosing you, you're also choosing him. It's okay if he doesn't like you. We won't force it. At most, we can find someone else. What's the big deal? Like my mother said, it's not a big deal if you don't get married. I think it's better to get married later than to get married casually."
Yuan Xiang was stunned after hearing this.
After a long while, she asked, "Zhao Zhao, if my aunt isn't urging you, why are you in such a hurry to get married?"
"I don't really want to get married, but I have to." Yuan Xiang smiled bitterly, "My reputation is ruined, and the whole village is laughing at me and my family. If I don't get married, my family will be ashamed, and my grandparents will not agree."
Lin Zhao understood.
The girls in the village face the same problem. If they are still unengaged after they turn 18, gossip can kill them.
"Why am I in such a hurry to get married?" She smiled and said slowly, "I first thought of getting married... because I wanted to save food for my family. Not long after that, I met... the right person, and then we got married smoothly."
Yuan Xiang looked up at the deep blue sky, his eyes a little dazed.
"Very good, you have been smooth sailing."
Not surprising.
His aunt's family all protected Zhaozhao, and Zhaozhao also worked hard, so he naturally lived a good life.
"Stay away from that scumbag, and you'll be fine in the future." Lin Zhao said cheerfully, "Your blind date today will go smoothly. When you marry into the city, the Li family will help you find a job. By then, that scumbag and his family will regret it. When that time comes, I just want to ask you if you're happy or not."
Scenes flashed through Yuan Xiang’s mind, and he felt relaxed all over.
"Great!" she said.
"Zhao Zhao, I'm borrowing your good words."
Lin Zhao: “You’re welcome.”
Time flies.
The bicycle was parked in front of the supply and marketing cooperative on time.
Li Fen had a hard time sleeping and eating last night because her younger brother went on a blind date. She fell asleep in the early hours of the morning, woke up in a daze, ate a few quick bites, and arrived half an hour early.
Hearing the sound at the door, she subconsciously straightened her clothes and walked out pretending to be calm.
Seeing Lin Zhao, Li Fen greeted her with a smile, "Zhao Zhao is here."
While speaking, his eyes glanced at the other girl.
She has two thick black braids, wheat-colored skin, delicate eyebrows and clear eyes. She doesn't have a trace of impetuousness and looks very down-to-earth.
"Sister Fen." Lin Zhao responded with a smile. Noticing her gaze, he introduced her, "This is my sister, Yuan Xiang."
"This name is nice, which Xiang?" Li Fen's eyes and brows were full of satisfaction.
Lin Zhao locked her bicycle, dusted off her hands, and explained, "Xiang in Xiangjiang."
Li Fen understood and looked at Yuan Xiang with a smile on her face. "I have confirmed with Xiaosong that he will come to the supply and marketing cooperative at nine o'clock. Let him take you around so that you can get to know each other."
"I almost forgot to mention that my brother's name is Li Song, the Song from Songshan."
She had a good first impression of Yuan Xiang and hoped that the two young people would get along well.
"Yeah." Yuan Xiang responded. It was their first meeting and they were not familiar with each other. She didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.
Lin Zhao pulled Yuan Xiang into the supply and marketing cooperative and said, "Sister Xiang Xiang, please sit inside and wait."
"Will it be inconvenient?" Yuan Xiang was afraid that it would affect his cousin's work.
"It's okay!" Li Fen returned to her counter.
She waved her hand. "It doesn't matter. Just be careful not to let the intruders step on your feet."
Yuan Xiang smiled.
Sit in the corner.
After the supply and marketing cooperative officially opened, customers flocked in and the quiet counter was suddenly filled with people.
There are so many people.
Yuan Xiang was stunned.
She had never seen a newly opened supply and marketing cooperative before and didn't expect there to be so many people.
Li Fen looked towards the corner and saw the girl sitting quietly and patiently. She felt more fond of her and satisfied with her.
Xiaosong works for the transport team and is often not at home, so he wants a wife with a calm and steady personality.
She silently hoped that her brother would behave better and not make the girl angry and run away again.
Time passed little by little as Li Fen was confused and anxious.
Most of the customers of the supply and marketing cooperative had left, and it was finally nine o'clock.
Lin Zhao and the others had just rested, and before they could catch their breath, a young man came in.
He has an upright posture and walks as if measured with a ruler, still carrying on the habits he had when he was in the army.
He took a few steps forward, not very fast, but the inconvenience of his left leg was still exposed.
The young man stopped in front of the counter where Li Fen was and shouted in a loud voice, "Sister."
Li Fen covered her face and said, "Keep your voice down. We are not in the army. There is no need to shout at the top of your lungs."
Then, he gave Lin Zhao and others an awkward smile.
Li Song smiled, and the solemnity that was unique to a soldier disappeared instantly. His aura changed 180 degrees, and now he looked like a gentle and amiable brother next door.
He can't be called very handsome, but he's definitely not ugly either.
He has regular facial features and a righteous look.
Li Fen looked at her brother's attire, nodded with satisfaction, and introduced him to Lin Zhao: "Zhao Zhao, this is my brother, Li Song."
Li Song nodded, "Comrade Lin."
"Comrade Li." Lin Zhao smiled and waved to Yuan Xiang.
Almost at the first sight of Li Song, Yuan Xiang guessed that this was her blind date, and then began to feel uneasy.
My mind is a mess.
Should I take the initiative to step forward? What should I say before and after? If I do nothing, wouldn’t it be impolite and give people a bad impression…
Hearing Zhao Zhao's voice, she stepped forward, almost pinching her palms, and greeted Li Song, "...Comrade Li."
She tried to stay calm, but she didn't realize her voice was trembling slightly.
"Sister, why don't you go out and talk." Lin Zhao saw that her cousin was uncomfortable, so she suggested.
Sometimes it's more comfortable with fewer people.
Li Fen nodded repeatedly and joined in: "Yes, yes, let's go out and talk. Xiaosong, take Xiangxiang to see a movie and then treat her to a meal."
As he spoke, he winked at his younger brother.
Don't just sit there in silence, be proactive, be proactive! !
Li Song used to be an excellent scout. He caught sight of his blind date the moment she came in and quickly memorized her features.
She has a thick black braid and looks quiet and pretty. She seems a little nervous, with her hands clasped together.
The first impression is good.
He also wanted to get married and have a family, so he took the initiative and said, "Comrade Yuan, shall we go out and talk?"
Yuan Xiang looked up at him and met the young man's serious gaze.
She felt respected.
"good."
Yuan Xiang looked at Lin Zhao with a red face. Lin Zhao waved at her, indicating that she could go without worry and should come back in the afternoon.
…
After the two left, Li Fen approached Lin Zhao and grabbed her hand, "Zhao Zhao, it's possible! It's possible!! They seem to have a good impression of each other."
Lin Zhao was worried that the water would spill, so she put down the enamel pot and said with a smile, "That's right, it's up to them now."
"Yes, it depends on them." Li Fen clasped her hands together.
It must succeed.
The corners of Lin Zhao's mouth twitched.
So what?
She shook her head, quietly withdrew her hand, sat down and continued to drink water.
Li Fen kept muttering to herself and was very anxious the whole morning. She couldn't sit still and kept glancing at the door, afraid to see Yuan Xiang coming back.
Until lunchtime.
She felt stable after not seeing the two people she had a blind date with come back, and the corners of her mouth almost stretched to the back of her head.
"Zhao Zhao, when they get married, I will give you a big red envelope." Li Fen said happily.
Lin Zhao also thought it was a good idea, so she smiled and agreed, "Okay."
Her aunt should be able to rest assured.
After a while, Song Yuncheng came to the supply and marketing cooperative to deliver meals.
As soon as he came in, he walked straight towards Lin Zhao, "Sister, I'm here to bring you food."
Lin Zhao was stunned for a moment, "Where's Yunjin?"
"Something happened at school, so the boy went back to school." Song Yuncheng said as he took out his lunch box, opened it, and took out his chopsticks.
"What could happen at school?" Lin Zhao took the chopsticks and asked another question.
"I should tell them about the next arrangements." Song Yuncheng was in no hurry to leave. He pulled a stool and sat down in front of the counter. "Sister, I heard that Sister Xiangxiang is going on a blind date today. When will we meet?"
"I've already seen it." Lin Zhao replied.
Song Yuncheng opened his eyes wide, straightened his body, and asked, "What's the result? Are you in love?"
"At nine o'clock, the two went out to chat and haven't come back yet. They must be satisfied," said Lin Zhao.
She raised her eyes and glanced at her older cousin.
"Why are you asking so many questions?"
Song Yuncheng said: "It's not me who asked, it's my mother who asked me to ask..."
