Sinan Street is not far from the alley where the Wu family lives, only three streets away, so the three women of the Wu family did not take the bus but walked there.
After walking for more than ten minutes, we arrived at Sinan Street. After searching for a while, we successfully found Dashun Teahouse.
At that time, everything was state-owned, not only restaurants but also teahouses. However, teahouses were different from restaurants. You needed a ticket to buy anything in a restaurant, but not in a teahouse.
However, the teahouse only sells tea, melon seeds and peanuts, and does not sell meals.
When Wu Xiuxiu and her friends arrived at the teahouse, they happened to see the old-fashioned clock on the wall pointing to three o'clock.
"It's exactly three o'clock. It's already three o'clock. Du Yuanan should have arrived. I wonder if he came alone or if someone from his family came with him?" Dong Xiaoye said.
"Generally, when going on a blind date, if the boy's mother is there, she will come along. Some boys will even bring a bunch of female elders from their family to help them see what the girl is like. Only very few boys will come alone," said Ding Hongjuan.
Wu Xiuxiu did not join the discussion, but went to ask the people in the teahouse whether Du Yuanan had arrived. As a result, she learned that Du Yuanan had not come and had not booked a table previously.
Wu Xiuxiu thought that it was already three o'clock and he hadn't arrived yet, and he hadn't booked a table before, so he really had no sincerity at all.
Wu Xiuxiu's impression of Du Yuanan became even worse, and she didn't want to be with him anymore.
But since everyone was here, they sat down and waited to see Du Yuanan. This would make it easier to explain to Liu the matchmaker.
It's already three o'clock, Matchmaker Liu should be here soon.
Wu Xiuxiu asked the teahouse staff for a table and ordered three bowls of tea, one bowl each for her mother, sister-in-law, and a small plate of melon seeds and a small plate of peanuts, while she waited for Liu the Matchmaker and Du Yuanan to arrive.
Matchmaker Liu arrived immediately and apologized when she saw the women of the Wu family. She said that after she met the Du family, she had to go home to get some things, so she went back home. Her home was far from here, so she was late.
"It's okay. Du Yuanan hasn't come yet. Aunt Liu, please sit down. I'll order you a cup of tea for you to drink while you rest." Wu Xiuxiu said.
"Du Yuanan hasn't come yet?" Matchmaker Liu showed a surprised expression, "I thought he and his mother had come a long time ago. After all, it's already past three o'clock...
When I went to the Du family and told you that your family agreed to meet for marriage, his mother said she would take a leave of absence and come with him. "
"Maybe something has delayed them. The Du family's mother and son will be here soon." Ding Hongjuan said this to Liu the matchmaker and also to Wu Xiuxiu.
Matchmaker Liu quickly nodded in agreement, saying that the Du mother and son must have been delayed by something and would be here soon.
Wu Xiuxiu didn't say anything, but just ordered a cup of tea for Liu the Matchmaker and invited her to have some melon seeds and peanuts.
Matchmaker Liu's tea was quickly served. The four women drank tea, ate melon seeds and peanuts, and chatted while waiting for the Du family's mother and son to arrive.
But there was no sign of the Du family's mother and son for a long time. The four women had almost finished their tea, but they still hadn't seen them.
Could it be that she was stood up? Wu Xiuxiu's face turned grim.
Ding Hongjuan and Dong Xiaoye's faces also looked ugly. Even Liu the matchmaker couldn't keep the smile on her face and her expression became unsightly.
"What's wrong with the mother and son of the Du family? Why haven't they come yet? We have been waiting for them for almost half an hour." Matchmaker Liu started to complain first.
"Could it be that the Du family's mother and son won't come?" Wu Xiuxiu expressed her thoughts.
"The mother and son are not coming? How can this be! Aren't they standing you up?" Ding Hongjuan and Dong Xiaoye's faces changed and they shouted in unison with some excitement.
"Why don't I go to the Du family to look for them and see what's going on... If they really don't want to come, they should at least let me know. It's too rude of them to stand Xiuxiu up like this. I'll have to give them a good lecture."
Matchmaker Liu stood up, frowned and cursed, looking displeased.
"Matchmaker Liu!" Suddenly a woman's voice came from the door.
Matchmaker Liu looked towards the door and then a look of joy appeared on her face.
"Finally here! Du Yuanan and his mother are here!"
