Chapter 617: 617. The blind date arrives_1
Song Tan had just gotten ho when Wu Lan hustled over excitedly, “So? Did the girl show up yet?”
It seems gossip is truly part of human nature, irresistible!
Song Tan checked the ti, “What ti is it? It’s impossible for a guest to arrive first thing in the morning.”
Wu Lan sighed, “That’s true, but it’s so hot, isn’t it? Just asking.”
Then, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, eyeing Song Tan from head to toe, “You shouldn’t need
to arrange dates for you, right? Sigh, your grandma is right, it doesn’t matter if it’s from Imperial City or anywhere else, just go ahead if you get along.”
Song Tan: …
She imdiately hung her head, looking like a wilted white flower, “Mom, what if I get scrutinized by the parents of others…”
“Tsk!” Wu Lan beca anxious just imagining it:
“Who do they think they are to scrutinize you?! I’m telling you, the internet is right! When you’re young, you should earn more money. With more money, you can date older n, and save yourself the trouble of those oddballs shalessly showing up…”
???
Older n?
Song Tan inhaled sharply, “Is mom that open-minded?!”
So she tentatively asked, “Mom, by older n, do you an…”
Wu Lan responded as if it was obvious, “Isn’t it just n’s university? All n, there must be plenty of great guys! And I heard girl’s colleges are full of nobles too.”
Song Tan: …
Although she misunderstood, she was also not wrong. And what’s this about n’s universities and won’s universities?
Song Tan pondered, “Mom, have you been watching those overbearing CEO series lately?”
That sounded suspiciously like the setup in those old-school CEO novels.
Wu Lan “hmm’d” affirmatively, “Your dad listens every day, even bought a mbership. I figured he’s quite the spender, so I got a mbership too! The website recomnded this to , and it is quite… *cough*, I didn’t listen much, just when I’m working around the house.”
“The main thing is, the mbership costs just ten or twenty a month, it’d be a loss not to listen to more.”
Song Tan: … As long as you’re happy.
…
anwhile, Li Lanhua waited anxiously, wiping around the house several tis, mopping the concrete floor spotlessly clean, even taking apart and washing the fan.
Not to ntion Zhou Tianyu’s room, it was tidied up so thoroughly that no dust could be seen, and she wouldn’t even let him enter!
Zhou Tianyu: … I just wanted to charge my phone!
At that mont, Li Lanhua regretted, “Ah! If only I had installed an air conditioner!”
When Zhou Tianyu suggested getting one for the house last year, she didn’t agree, telling her son to save the money…
Now look where that got them, entertaining guests in the heat of sumr without an air conditioner, and the son didn’t manage to save the money either, definitely a significant loss.
However, fortunately, the houses in the village were built tall, the living room nearly three to four ters in height, and the breeze cooled things down, making it bearable after sitting for a while.
Thinking of the waterlon and tomatoes in the fridge, she sowhat cald herself down.
If guests arrived and complained about the lack of air conditioning, at least Song Tan’s delicious waterlon could be served imdiately, icy cold and sweet—sure to foster a bit of goodwill.
And yeah, she had to remind Maozhu, “If there’s no male guest coming to keep you company later, take the initiative to cut the waterlon. Let them see, we don’t treat our n like treasures.”
“Right, cut the waterlon into smaller pieces, don’t slice them too long, forcing people to hold the rind with both hands… The girls are delicate and dainty, too big would be inconvenient for them to eat.”
It’s clear that Li Lanhua is really ticulous!
Zhou Tianyu was truly helpless, “Mom, didn’t you say we should just go with fate? You’re getting so tense when the person hasn’t even arrived yet… It’s really not necessary! What if they don’t like ?”
“You can’t put it that way.”
Li Lanhua glanced at her son and wanted to sigh, “Look at
and your dad, we’re both just average looking, and you didn’t inherit anything good… When a girl sees you for the first ti, that first impression might easily be bad.”
Zhou Tianyu: …You might as well just say I’m ugly!
But when he looked at himself in the mirror–definitely not handso, his face also a bit square, and he looked a little haggard… but not ugly, right?!
Li Lanhua was also trying to teach her son, carefully saying at the mont, “Fortunately, everyone says that looks are not important for boys–as long as you’re healthy, growing up to be anything is fine, once a girl has feelings, she won’t be picky.”
Zhou Tianyu: …What? Am I a deep-sea fish, growing randomly because no one sees ?
“This is when details matter. We have to show our sincerity, whether we care or not, whether we can take care of soone… Even if we’re poor, if we get the details right, the girl will still be happy.”
Furthermore…
Li Lanhua muttered, “Even if this doesn’t work out, Aunt Chen knows a lot of people. Seeing our sincere intention to find a daughter-in-law, and our good attitude, she will definitely introduce us to another nice girl next ti!”
While they were talking, Aunt Chen ca over wearing a hat, “Lanhua, the girl said the weather is too hot, her parents have had a heat cold for several days and are afraid of getting sunstroke.”
Li Lanhua’s heart skipped a beat–don’t tell
she’s not coming?
However, she then heard Aunt Chen say,
“The girl said, since you’re also in a hurry on your side, she will co by herself. She was worried you might think she’s not giving it importance, so she asked
to tell you in advance, and I’ll keep her company today…”
“Oh my!”
Li Lanhua’s emotions surged like a roller coaster, now only left with joy. Naturally, she found everything pleasing to the eye, thinking the girl was quite straightforward! And careful in her arrangents, a filial person to boot!
How co everyone else’s child is so outstanding?
It was a bit disappointing that her parents weren’t coming, but since she was coming alone, after all, she was young. With Aunt Chen nudging from the side, wouldn’t it be even easier to succeed?
At this mont, she smiled even more generously, “Sister-in-law Chen, since it’s your introduction, you should be here to accompany the guests… Co co co, sit by the fan!”
“It’s all my fault for being in such a hurry, it was just ill-tid… And here I am, feeling a bit bad that the girl didn’t mind it at all.”
While saying this, Zhou Maozhu also instructed his son, “Quickly pour tea for your aunt! Use that special tea leaves! The ones you give as gifts.”
For this matchmaking eting, their family really went all out!
Zhou Tianyu shuddered at the ntion of the tea leaves.
Now, as he grabbed the tea leaves, he felt as if he were holding strands of gold, taking a long ti to brew and finally serving it.
Aunt Chen was actually teasing Li Lanhua, “We see each other every day, why be so formal? Don’t fuss over , Wu Lan’s big water jug at ho is also steeped with tea leaves… Aiyoyo, it’s too fragrant!”
As she lifted her cup, “Look, I finished packing spice bags this morning, and she even filled a cup for !”
At the sa ti, she sighed, “It’s a pity, I was planning to buy so. She said it was expensive and out of stock. Have to wait for the autumn tea.”
Upon hearing this, Li Lanhua knew that Song Tan’s family wasn’t planning to hide the price anymore, and now she started laughing heartily,
“Really out of stock, they were booked early on–and even if there were any, you couldn’t afford it, ten thousand yuan per half kilogram!”
Zhou Tianyu, who was just bringing up the tea, shuddered again.
Aunt Chen was also stunned, “What? Ten thousand?!”
