Zhenhua bent down to wipe the dust on his leather shoes, and said with a smile, "New Year's Day, dad, don't say such unlucky words." I'll take a look, don't worry. ”

Cuihong was also ready a long time ago, carrying two boxes of malt milk essence and two catties of brown sugar and two rice cakes, waiting for her son.

Zhenhua packed up, took the gift from his mother's hand, and went to the fourth group with his mother.

When the villagers saw it, they asked where Cuihong's mother and son went.

Cui Hong naturally couldn't say that her son was on a blind date, but just smiled and said, "Go and see the second old man of Bunraku in the fourth group." ”

Zhao Wenle was entertaining guests at home and drinking tea with his comrades. His wife is a public teacher in Xiangshui Township, wearing an apron and cooking on the stove.

In his hometown in Dongwan Village, Zhao Wenle still has his eldest brother and third brother, as well as his mother.

So every Spring Festival, he has to come back to accompany his mother. On the east side is the eldest brother's house, on the west side is the third brother's house, and Zhao Wenle's three small tile houses are sandwiched in the middle. His mother and eldest brother have passed, and Zhao Wenle doesn't have to worry about everything.

Zhao Wenle went home for the Spring Festival, that is, the three-day year, and did not prepare anything, eating and drinking at the house of the eldest brother and third brother.

But today, as a matchmaker for Zhenhua, Zhao Wenle didn't want to trouble the eldest brother and the third brother, so he had to take some vegetables from the eldest brother's house and cook at home.

From this aspect, Zhenhua's face is really big enough, Zhao Wenle rode a long distance for his marriage, and when he returned home, he had to clean up the stove and cook. The secretary of the township can be regarded as a figure who calls for wind and rain, and it is not easy to do this.

"Second uncle, I took Zhenhua with me to give you a New Year's greeting. Cui Hong took her son into the door and said with a smile.

"Here, okay, okay. Zhao Wenle got up, pointed to his comrades-in-arms opposite, and said, "This is my comrade-in-arms Lao Zhuo, Cuihong, you will be called Brother Zhuo." Zhenhua, called Uncle Zhuo. ”

Zhenhua stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Uncle Zhuo is good." ”

Lao Zhuo sat on the east side of the Eight Immortals Table, had already stood up, greeted Zhenhua's mother with a smile, and nodded to Zhenhua.

Zhenhua stepped forward to salute the cigarette and looked at Lao Zhuo secretly. This man is tall and has a loud voice, and he is indeed the image of a straightforward man.

Lao Zhuo took the cigarette, looked at the stove of Zhao Wenle's house, and said, "Yilan, you also come to meet the guests." ”

Zhenhua followed Lao Zhuo's gaze, and saw a girl standing up under the stove, her face was slightly red, and she walked over lightly.

The girl's height is more than 1.7 meters, her figure is relatively thin, her facial features are upright, but her skin is a little dark. Dressed very plainly, two braids hung down on the left and right shoulders, and under his feet turned out to be a pair of brand-new old-fashioned cloth shoes.

Zhenhua is very skeptical, if this girl wears high heels, will she be taller than herself?

Zhao Wenle smiled and introduced, "Yilan, this young man is the Zhao Zhenhua I said, my nephew, graduated from high school, private teacher, and probationary party member." This is Zhenhua's mother, just call her aunt. ”

Zhuo Yilan glanced at Cui Hong and nodded slightly, "Hello Auntie." I'm lighting a fire for Mr. Han...... Sit down. ”

The teacher Han she said was Zhao Wenle's wife Han Ying.

"Girl, sit down, I'll light a fire for my second aunt. Cui Hong smiled, looking up and down at the girl in front of her.

Lao Zhuo was also looking at Zhao Zhenhua, with a smile on his face.

Zhao Wenle saw that it was almost over, and said, "That's it, it's a new society and a new fashion, and everyone is not an outsider, so I'll arrange it directly." Zhenhua accompanied Yilan to the reservoir behind my house for a turn, and took Yilan to visit the big river in our hometown. Cuihong's old niece and sister-in-law will work hard and cook with my teacher Han. ”

Zhenhua nodded.

Zhuo Yilan didn't speak, lowered her head.

Lao Zhuo waved his hand and said to his daughter, "Go to Yilan, go around with Zhenhua and see your Uncle Zhao's hometown." ”

Zhenhua also looked at Zhuo Yilan and said, "The reservoir is not far away, walk from the head of the village, and you can see the water surface when you stand in front of the door." ”

Zhuo Yilan nodded and followed Zhenhua out of the door.

The shoreline of the Dongwan Reservoir has nine bends and eighteen bends. Groups two and four, right at the water's edge.

The house of the three Zhao Wenle brothers is in the easternmost part of the second group, closest to the reservoir.

Coming out of Zhao Wenle's house, walking a hundred meters away, he arrived at the bank of the river.

There is no one on the riverbank, and it is a good place for blind dates. It's just that some wind, blowing from the water, is cold.

Zhenhua walked very slowly, led the way in front, turned his head sideways, and asked, "This reservoir extends to the northeast and has a large area, can you Zhuo Banxiang use the water here?"

Zhuo Yilan shook her head, "No, our village is in the middle of Zhuo Banxiang." Only the southwestern part of Zhuo Banxiang can use the water here. ”

Zhenhua simply stopped, looked at Zhuo Yilan, and said with a smile, "I heard that half of your Zhuo Banxiang population is surnamed Zhuo, so it's called Zhuo Banxiang, right?"

Zhuo Yilan also stopped, glanced at Zhenhua, then turned his head to look at the river, and said, "There should be more than half of them now, it is said that there are nearly 20,000 people with the surname Zhuo." ”

Zhenhua nodded, walked forward side by side with Zhuo Yilan, and said, "Our hometown is very poor, is it better for you there?"

Zhuo Yilan smiled, "It's all in the countryside, isn't it about the same?"

Zhenhua nodded slightly in her heart, it seems that this girl is still modest, not as straightforward as Zhuang Xiaodie.

Zhuo Yilan and Zhenhua walked side by side, but did not take the initiative to speak.

Zhenhua had no choice but to look for a topic, and then asked, "By the way, how did you come here in the morning?"

Zhuo Yilan shook her head, "No, my father came here in a walk-behind tractor." ”

Zhenhua was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "It turns out that your father can also drive a tractor, it's really not simple." In our village, there is only one person who can drive a tractor, and his name is Liu Zhigao. He also knew how to repair diesel engines and opened a processing plant at home. ”

"Really?" Zhuo Yilan opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

Zhenhua smiled, continued to walk, and said, "You know the situation in my family, right? My parents are still healthy, one sister is married and is on the other side of the river, and there is another sister who is in the second year of junior high school and no longer studies and works at home as a farmer. ”

Zhuo Yilan nodded and didn't speak.

Zhenhua said, "Why don't you speak? Just listen to me, right?"

Zhuo Yilan shook her head and smiled, "I don't know what to say." You say, I'll listen. ”

Zhenhua stopped, looked at Zhuo Yilan's face, and said cheekily, "Let's meet today...... That is, a blind date. I don't know, you ...... me Do you have any comments?"

Zhuo Yilan blushed, lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes, and asked in a low voice, "You say it first, you ...... me Do you have any comments?"

Zhenhua Dali's conversation is different from that of ordinary girls. Honestly, what do you look like...... That's probably the type I'm looking for. ”
