Yu family.
Yu Xiang spent the Chinese New Year alone at home.
Standing by the window, looking at the lights of thousands of homes outside and listening to the sounds coming from the television, she suddenly felt a little lonely and longed for a warm home.
Or should she stop refusing to meet the blind dates that her aunts introduce her to?
New Year's Day.
People kept coming to Zhao Qinglan's house to offer New Year's greetings.
Ji Rou is a new bride this year, and many people in Guangshi have never seen her before, so they are very curious about her.
Sanwa is now in high school, and the young boy has grown much taller and no longer looks like a child.
He has always been outstanding, and all the adults who meet him praise him.
As for Erwa, knowing that he is about to graduate, everyone is concerned about where he will work in the future.
Some people even wanted to introduce Erwa to potential partners.
After all, everyone has seen how outstanding Zhao Qinglan's children are. The eldest is already married, Xiaoduo is abroad, and the third is only in high school, so they can only set their sights on the second child.
Erwa blushed, surprised that he had been introduced to a potential partner.
He made an excuse and then avoided it.
For some reason, when he heard that someone was going to introduce him to a potential partner, he thought of Yu Xiang again.
Yu Xiang's family didn't have a telephone, but she had given Erwa a phone number that belonged to her neighbor.
After a group of family members who had come to pay New Year's visits left, Erwa went to the phone and tentatively made a call.
As soon as the call connected, he said nervously, "Hello, I'm looking for Yu Xiang. I'm her friend. Could you please call her for me?"
"Yu girl, she went out on a blind date and isn't home."
After hanging up the phone, Erwa was stunned.
Yu Xiang went on a blind date.
After Zhao Qinglan finished using the restroom and washed her hands, she came over and saw Erwa standing there blankly.
"Sanwa, what happened to your brother?"
Sanwa spoke slowly. "It all came to this after I made a phone call."
Because his voice is changing recently, he's becoming increasingly reluctant to speak.
Ji Rou whispered, "I think I heard the name Yu Xiang."
I'm familiar with that name, Zhao Qinglan. I've sent food to her family twice already.
Erwa is usually very carefree, so this sudden change in his behavior made Zhao Qinglan a little worried.
However, since her child was older, she was too embarrassed to ask directly, so she called her eldest child over and whispered a few words to him.
The older brother quickly pulled his younger brother aside for a heart-to-heart talk.
"Erwa, what happened? Tell your brother."
Erwa finally showed an expression, and said dejectedly, "She went on a blind date."
"Who is it?"
"Yu Xiang".
The older child understood; his younger brother was sad.
"Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with Yu Xiang now?"
“We’re friends,” Erwa said sullenly.
"Just friends?"
"Um."
"Why are you upset that your friend is going on a blind date?"
Erwa didn't want to talk anymore.
He still felt sorry for his younger brother, Da Wa, and seeing this, he sighed and asked, "Do you like her?"
"I don't know, I just feel sad."
"Are you silly? This is what it means to like someone. Does the thought of her possibly being with someone else make you feel uncomfortable?"
Erwa nodded.
"Then what are you waiting for? If you don't try, that girl will really belong to someone else."
"Can I?" Erwa's eyes lit up.
"Why can't you? If you like him, just go for it." This silly younger brother of his, he's the older brother who has to worry about him more.
"I understand, brother."
The result I knew was that Erwa wanted to bring up returning to Haishi.
When Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai found out what had happened, they were both amused and exasperated.
But if you were to try to stop Erwa, they were afraid that their son would really miss out on the girl he liked and be heartbroken, so they simply let him be.
It was only the fifth day of the Lunar New Year when Erwa boarded the train back to Haishi.
After he left, Li Huai, the father, expressed his dissatisfaction by snorting coldly at home.
"It's not even close to being finalized yet, and we can't even wait for the New Year."
Zhao Qinglan glanced at her husband. "Your silly son has finally come to his senses. If he really misses out on the girl he likes and cries every day, I wonder if you'll feel sorry for him."
"I don't feel sorry for him at all, he's spineless."
"Yes, you're the most promising one." This man's temper has been getting worse lately, and he's always looking for someone to argue with, which she's not going to tolerate.
The eldest and third children pretended not to see it.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Da Wa and Ji Rou also set off to return to their unit, leaving only San Wa at home, which became somewhat deserted.
Zhao Qinglan simply abandoned her husband and took her three children to the provincial capital to find her mother and sister.
Now let's talk about the second child.
As soon as the train arrived in Haishi, he didn't even take his luggage to his house; he went straight to Yu's Restaurant.
After working hard for more than half a year, Yu Xiang wanted to take a good rest during the Spring Festival.
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, shops on the street gradually reopened, and she also cleaned up her shop in preparation for opening for business.
Erwa suddenly came over with his luggage, which startled her.
"Yan Xun, what brings you here? There are still many days until school starts."
To her surprise, Erwa didn't answer her question, but asked anxiously, "Did you go on a blind date?"
Yu Xiang paused for a moment, then nodded.
"So, what was the result?" Erwa asked nervously.
Thinking back to that blind date, Yu Xiang gave a bitter smile. "Nothing came of it."
The other party immediately said that she was a college student and they didn't want her to continue running the shop. If she were to get married, they wanted her to find a proper job. Their words implied dissatisfaction with her circumstances and were like a handout.
Even if Yu Xiang were a clay figure, he still had some temper; how could things not turn out well?
Hearing her answer, Erwa breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, there was no result.
"You haven't told me yet, why are you here now?"
Thinking of his older brother's encouragement, and fearing that Yu Xiang would still go on blind dates if he didn't express his feelings, Erwa stared at Yu Xiang earnestly and said, "Yu Xiang, I like you. Can you be my boyfriend?"
Yu Xiang's face flushed bright red instantly.
So he came back early because he went on a blind date?
No, how could he like me?
Yu Xiang's mind was in turmoil.
"Yu Xiang, are you willing?" Erwa asked again, his heart filled with trepidation.
"I am several years older than you."
Erwa was taken aback. "What's wrong with being a few years older? What I'm asking now is whether you'd like to be my girlfriend."
His dad is several years older than his mom, and Zhou Yunting is older than his sister. Erwa doesn't understand what's wrong with that.
"But you're still in school."
"I'm an adult, and besides, aren't there plenty of college students dating these days?"
"But...but..." Yu Xiang stammered.
"But what? Just tell me if you'd like to be my girlfriend." Erwa glared at him.
"Let me think about it." Yu Xiang turned and ran into the kitchen to hide.
Watching her run away, Erwa scratched his head, wondering what else he could think of. There were only two answers, though he hoped there would only be one.
However, Yu Xiang didn't refuse, which meant that his chances were very high. Thinking of this, he grinned.
