Chapter 15: The Second Blind Date

Later, I never saw the elegant Mayor Chen again. Ten years later, I came back from the town's high school for the weekend, and when I was chatting with my grandfather and watching TV in the evening, when the provincial news was being broadcast, I saw Mayor Chen sitting on the rostrum at a glance, and I hurriedly shouted: "It's him, it's him", because Mayor Chen left me too deep an impression, and I still recognize him at a glance after so many years, and he is still so calm and personable on TV.

Grandpa asked, "Who? What a fuss, so many people, do you know?"

I said, "There will be a meeting later, sitting on the stage, grandma, you can take a closer look." ”

Sure enough, the TV camera turned to the rostrum again, and stayed on Mayor Chen's face, and a close-up shot was more than ten seconds.

After reading it, Grandpa said, "This person looks familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere." ”

I said, "Grandpa, don't you remember?" Mayor Chen, who was brought by the village chief that year, stayed at our house for a while. ”

Grandpa suddenly realized: "Oh, it's really him, he has been promoted, and he is sitting on the rostrum." ”

I smiled and said, "Grandpa, it's not just a promotion, he is now the secretary of the provincial party committee, the number one leader of our province, and the first parent official." ”

Grandpa said: "When he shook hands with me at that time, I felt that this person was not simple. ”

Grandma smiled and said, "You also have a lot of ability, can you still pinch it? Can you still figure out that people can be big officials? It's not that people themselves have the ability." ”

As I spoke, my mind remembered the day he and my uncle's electric eyes, and I thought to myself what a thrilling glance it was, there must be magic and secrets in it that I didn't know.

The third aunt knows her grandmother's heart best, and she has not forgotten the promise she made to her uncle before. I got married, and I began to look around to find a partner for my uncle. She went to almost all the factories, welfare homes and schools for the disabled in the county, including the massage parlor for the blind, and there were not many disabled girls in the small county who agreed to the conditions.

Although Uncle was well-known in our country at that time, it is not an exaggeration to call him an "Internet celebrity" in today's terms, and it may not be accurate, but at that time there were only spider webs and fishing nets, and there was no high-speed Internet now.

There are also some stories about the uncle that people spread about after tea and dinner.

But if you live together for a lifetime, you can't communicate, you can't say confidant, you have to be taken care of diligently when you eat, drink, pull, sprinkle, and sleep, and people like wood have shared the same bed for decades, even if you are not severely disabled, you are not willing to do it, and the third aunt who is physically disabled is not willing to do so.

Therefore, no matter how hard the third aunt tries, in the end, the bamboo basket will be empty. People, after all, are still very realistic.

The third aunt even moved the idea of making a marriage advertisement for her uncle, and was reprimanded by her grandmother, "I still think Si'er has little gossip? In order to find a daughter-in-law, you still have to be in the newspaper and TV? Let's look for it slowly, I'm not in a hurry now, it's easy to go wrong if I'm in a hurry. Grandma's words alluded to the one-eyed girl.

The emperor paid off, the third aunt's efforts were not in vain, and finally an acquaintance handed her a message through an acquaintance and told her that a girl was very suitable.

An acquaintance said: "This girl had polio when she was a child and was not cured, and now she has one leg long and one leg short, to put it bluntly, she is a lame, and her home is in a village on the edge of the county seat." This girl is really good, only in her early twenties, about the same as your brother, and can do anything at home. That's it, I'll take you another day, I haven't told anyone about this yet, you go and see it first, and we'll talk to them when you think it's appropriate, and if it's not suitable, I'll not say it. ”

The third aunt was resolute and went to the girl's house the next day. In one day, she almost understood the situation of the girl's family, she not only went to the girl's house, but also specially asked the neighbors about the situation of the girl and the family, and the third aunt's intelligence work was meticulous and thorough.

On the third day, I ran back to my grandmother's house in a hurry, first took my kissed five meat and six vegetables, and then hugged my sister and said to my grandmother: "Mother, this time I saw it, and I also inquired about the situation of her family. The appearance is not bad, the person is diligent, he graduated from primary school, he can make clothes, raise pigs and feed chickens at home, he can do anything inside and out, and the family is still inquired about in the village, honestly, and the family is a family, they all say so. ”

Grandma smiled and said, "It's so good and so lively, what do people think of Si'er?"

The third aunt said: "Yesterday I told my acquaintance on the way back, and asked her to hurry up to the girl's house to propose marriage, and the acquaintance said that she would reply within three days. ”

Grandma said: "You can't change your quick temper, you haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, then what kind of wind, what kind of letter, wait for three days to have a letter and come back." ”

The third aunt said triumphantly: "Hmph, I know that you are eccentric and distressed Si'er can't find a partner, I still have great news and didn't say that." After speaking, he held his sister with one hand and pointed to his stomach with the other and said, "You are about to be a grandmother again, this is the biggest good news." ”

Grandma was happy and said, "Sanya, how many months have you been? ”

Third aunt: "I just found out, in less than three months, I was not so squeamish, and I wanted to tell my mother when I was happy." ”

The third aunt left like a whirlwind without eating, and took a half-day off when she said yes.

On the third day, the third aunt came again, this time the third aunt brought it on a motorcycle. The bright smile on the already beautiful face of the third aunt is not enough to describe a flower, at least three or more flowers can describe her happy appearance.

She told her grandmother: "The girl and the girl's family agreed, saying that the girl could meet her." ”

Grandma was overjoyed when she heard this, and asked, "When is the time?"

The third aunt said: "Look at the mother, you are in a hurry, people say that it will be three years later." ”

Grandma's heart was cold, and she asked, "Why is it three years later?"

The third aunt hugged the third aunt's waist affectionately and said, "Mom, the third aunt teases you, come to our house for a blind date next Sunday." I also agreed with the master who drove the car in the factory today, and when the time comes, Sanya and I will drive to pick them up and come to our house. ”

When grandma heard this, she turned her worries into joy, and scolded the third aunt with a smile: "Bastard Sanya, when will you learn to tease your mother? Next Sunday, right?"

It's another grand blind date banquet. The third brother-in-law drove a car to the girl's family and took the three of them to her grandmother's house that day, and the third brother-in-law exchanged a cigarette for a one-day driving term.

Grandma fell in love with the girl at a glance, the girl was a little lower, a little more than one meter and a half, combed a long braid, her face was clean and not black, her eyes were particularly bright, she smiled sweetly, and she shouted uncle and aunt generously.

Grandma also carefully looked at the way the girl walked into the house, not the kind of unsightly twisted and crooked posture, the girl was obviously lame, but when she walked, she was graceful and graceful like a willow branch shaken by the breeze, and grandma's heart blossomed.

As soon as the girl sat down, she had a smile on her face, and she saw who was laughing first before talking, and this time she was even more appreciated by her grandmother.

The meal has been prepared a long time ago, and today the whole family is gathered in the grandmother's house, and the two tables are together, lively and reunited.

After the meal, the mother led the girl to sit in the uncle's room for a while, and talked about the uncle's situation for a while before returning to the grandmother's house.

Today, grandma also paid special attention to her uncle's every move, and today's uncle's performance was the same as always, there was no difference, and grandma's slightly hung heart was completely put down.

Everything went smoothly, and even the 7-year-old found this aunt amiable and easy to approach.

The lame aunt's father took a cigarette from his grandfather, lit it, and said, "Although it is the first time I have come into contact with your family, I have already heard that your family is kind-hearted and honest. To be honest, we began to worry that our daughter was unwilling, just now my daughter went to see the fourth child again, and nodded when she came back without saying anything else, we also know that it is not easy and difficult to have a disabled child at home, and we understand the heart of being an adult. Since the girl nodded, we won't say anything, anyway, after the girl gets married, she will rely on your family to take care of the two children who are physically inconvenient. ”

After listening to this, the grandfather smiled and said, "Please put a hundred hearts on this, when the girl arrives at this house, we will treat her as our own daughter." ”

Uncle finally has a partner.
