Chapter 249: Big Deal

Sui Feng Hotel.

In a private room, under the guidance of Deng Shirong, the two parties on the blind date started talking about bamboo weaving, and then talked about farming, land reclamation, communal meals, private plots, dividing the land and working on their own, etc. Once the topic started, it was natural and easy to resonate with each other because everyone was from the countryside and had common life experiences.

In later blind dates, matchmakers would generally leave space for both men and women to talk, allowing them to get to know each other better.

But in this era, blind dates are really just meeting in person. Even when Deng Shirong arranged blind dates for men and women in his hometown, the meetings were just "chance encounters" while walking around, and if they couldn't see clearly enough, they would walk back and forth a few more times.

The main reason for this is that the social atmosphere of this era was not yet open. Rural girls were relatively reserved, and the purpose of a blind date was just to see each other's appearance. As for other things, they could only rely on matchmakers to pass information back and forth. It was impossible to leave private space for men and women like in later generations, allowing them to get to know each other better.

It is very rare for both parties to meet and have dinner directly in the hotel as they do now.

After all, in the countryside, if one party is not satisfied during a blind date, the meal will not be served.

Even when they were having a meal together, it would definitely be the elders who were chatting, and the man and woman would only make eye contact occasionally, and they would basically not talk to each other.

This is the situation now. The elders of both sides are chatting, and Mrs. Liu Dasao and Mrs. Liu Ersao also interject from time to time, but there is no conversation between Bu Dashi and Liu Aihong. They just look at each other silently while eating.

Deng Shirong had experienced the afterlife, so he was more flexible in matchmaking, not as rigid as other matchmakers. Seeing that Liu Aihong was full, he suggested, "Dashi, sister Liu, you two young people can't get a word in what we're talking about, so why don't you go to the box next door and have a good chat!"

The man's conditions were so good, and he had no flaws. Aihong's mother was already very satisfied. When she heard Uncle Jiu's matchmaker's suggestion, she agreed, "Third sister, Uncle Jiu is right. You two young people can go to the box next door and chat!"

Since the girl's mother agreed, Bu Dashi no longer hesitated, stood up and looked at Liu Aihong, with a smile on his face, he said: "Then I will take you to see the other private rooms in our hotel. The decoration style of each private room is different."

Liu Aihong's face was flushed, and she couldn't retreat at this time, so she stood up, said "hmm" softly, and then followed Bu Dashi out of the box and walked towards another box.

After following Bu Dashi into the box, Liu Aihong's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. This time, not only her face, but even her ears were tinged with a blush.

Bu Dashi was not much better. Although he was a man and had worked in the county for a while, he had seen the world, but it was the first time for him to be alone with a girl. Moreover, this girl was his blind date and might be his future wife. How could he calm down? The box was originally a relatively private space, and the relationship between the two made the atmosphere awkward and ambiguous.

As a grown man, Bu Dashi naturally couldn't remain silent, so he took the initiative to find a topic and said, "Ah Liumei, have you been to the county town before?"

Liu Aihong shook her head and said, "No, this is my first time in the county town!"

Bu Dashi asked, "How do you feel? Is the county town the same as you imagined?"

Liu Aihong said: "It feels good, just like what I imagined. There are buildings everywhere, and even the roads are paved with asphalt residue oil. It looks clean. The clothes that the city people wear are very good, and most of them have no patches. This is much better than our country."

Bu Dashi nodded and said, "Yes, the life of the city people is indeed better than that of us country people. It is not easy to watch a movie in the countryside, but in the city there are two movie theaters, one is the People's Cinema diagonally opposite our hotel, and the other is the Baizhou Cinema not far away. As long as you are willing to buy a ticket, you can go in and watch it at any time.

Besides, the city has electricity, and at night the lights are bright, and there are people selling midnight snacks, which is completely different from our countryside."

Liu Aihong sighed when she heard this: "No wonder the educated youth who came to our village to work in the fields fought so hard to get a chance to go back to the city. The gap between the countryside and the city is really too big!"

At this point, Bu Dashi summoned up the courage to ask, "Ah Liumei, do you want to leave the countryside and live in the city?"

Liu Aihong naturally understood the meaning behind these words. Her face, which had just returned to normal, instantly turned red again. She lowered her head and dared not look at Bu Dashi. After a long while, she whispered, "Who wouldn't want to leave the countryside and live in the city?"

When Bu Dashi heard this, he knew what was going on.

…

The next box.

Deng Shirong gave his third sister and brother-in-law a look, and the two of them found an excuse to leave the box.

Then, Deng Shirong asked, "A cousin, you have all seen the man's situation. I think you all have no objection to this marriage, right?"

Aihong's mother said, "The man's conditions are indeed very good, and he's not bad looking. Uncle Jiu, you said before that he could help arrange for my third sister to work here. Is that true?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Of course this is true. I'll tell you this, when Liu Mei gets married, she can come here to work."

After hearing this, Aihong's mother had nothing to complain about. She nodded and said, "If that's the case, then I agree to this marriage. I wonder what the man's opinion is?"

Deng Shirong said, "Don't worry about this. The man has agreed to it. Let's talk about the price. How much do you want?"

When it comes to her daughter's net worth, Aihong's mother didn't ask for too much. She just said, "As for the net worth, we don't have any requirements. Uncle Jiu, you can let the man decide how much to give. As long as it's not lower than the normal standard, it's fine."

She and her husband love their eldest daughter very much, as she is well-behaved, sensible and beautiful. They only hope that their daughter can marry into a well-off family and have never thought of making things difficult for the man with regard to the bride price. The reason they proposed to arrange a job for their daughter was actually for her happiness.

After all, after a daughter gets married, she belongs to someone else's family. Whether she has a job or not has little to do with her parents' family. At most, it can just make her parents' family proud. In fact, all the benefits go to the husband's family. To be precise, all the benefits belong to the small family of the daughter and son-in-law.

Of course, those daughters-in-law who are confused and move everything to their parents' home are not included.

Deng Shirong smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's easy. I guarantee you here that the price the man gives will definitely not be worse than others. Next, let's talk about the housekeeping..."

…

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Liu Aihong and three other friends got on the bus home.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At this time, there are no buses back to Shuangwang, but there are still many buses passing through Songshan.

After all, Songshan is located on the Bolong Highway. Buses from Bobai to Nanning, Beihai, Hepu and other directions will pass through Songshan, so there are naturally more cars.

Although the man's family said they could arrange for them to stay in the county town for one night, Aihong's mother thought about it and decided to refuse.

When a man and a woman come out to get to know each other, if both parties are satisfied, it is normal for the man to treat them to a meal, and they can easily accept it. However, it is not appropriate to ask the man to arrange accommodation for them.

If you can avoid taking advantage of this kind of thing, then do it, so as to avoid gossip.

If they refuse the man's help in arranging accommodation, then if they want to stay and go back tomorrow, they will have to spend money to go to a guesthouse. Even if it doesn't cost much for one night, it is not worth it for Aihong's mother to stay there. Therefore, taking a bus home while there is still time is the best option.

On the way back, Liu Aihong and the other three were in a very good mood.

Not to mention Liu Aihong herself, when she was getting along with Bu Dashi in private, both of them had already expressed their feelings and had already set a date for the visit. If nothing unexpected happens, the marriage will definitely be successful. She will live in the county town in the future and even work in such a big hotel. How can she not be in a good mood!

The same goes for Aihong's mother. As a mother, she is naturally happy that her daughter can marry into such a well-off family.

As for the two sisters-in-law, they were in a good mood, on the one hand because they were happy for their sister-in-law, and on the other hand because of the big red envelope in their pockets.

The blind date rules in Bobai, whether now or in the future, are that the man has to give the woman a red envelope, which is essential.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu Er naturally received red envelopes when they met their husbands, but even as the heroines of the blind date, the red envelopes they received were only RMB 2.88 yuan, while the people who went on the blind date with them only received 88 yuan.

At that time, the amount of the red envelope was not generous, but it was not stingy either. It was considered normal.

But now, they just accompanied their sister-in-law to a blind date, but the red envelopes given to them by the man were as much as RMB 3.88, which was higher than the red envelopes they got when they were the heroines in the blind date. It was really eye-opening for them.

The red envelopes for the accompanying personnel were so high, not to mention the red envelope for the sister-in-law, the main person involved. The man directly gave 8.88 yuan, which was really a huge amount of money. He was worthy of being someone working in the county town. He was much more generous than ordinary rural people.

After all, for the four of them combined, the man spent more than 20 yuan just on red envelopes, and with the five-flavor snacks and candies, the total cost was more than 30 yuan.

You know, her family uses their spare time to weave bamboo products, but they can't earn so much money in a month. You can imagine how generous the man is.
