Chapter 1 I was called on a blind date
I, Luo Yan, 26 years old, will be called by my parents to go on a blind date tomorrow, our Chinese culture is very strange, it seems that girls have no object at a certain age, parents will be anxious, relatives will be nervous!
I just came back from abroad for a while, tried to teach many times and interviewed many times, and finally a diligent college took me in as an English lecturer, I thought that life would fly to the clouds from now on, make money by myself, and rent a house, I can live a single life, but I didn't expect everything to be just positioned, my parents came here to kick in, I have to meet the son of that friend, talk about what life always has to have a companion? I really don't worry!
Okay! I'll see you! The introduction of my parents should be more appropriate than those flowery men I met in foreign countries before!
"Yan Yan! Remember to dress nicely tomorrow! Girls should have a good first impression on others!" Yan's mother read on the other end of the phone.
Although he said to his mother, "I know!" But why should I do this? I don't want to participate in the ancient emperor's concubine show!
After rummaging through the wardrobe, I finally found a piece of clothing that satisfied me, this is a 30 yuan special dress bought in the store that day, and it should be more able to show my simple character with jeans! Thinking that my mother will see her dress tomorrow, she will definitely blow her beard and stare at her eyes angrily, and she feels a little excited, who let them go on a blind date! Sister, my beautiful life is just about to begin!
In the morning, I was woken up by a mobile phone ringtone, and after a look, it was my mother calling. Dial back: "Mom, what's wrong?"
"You don't have to get up and dress up?" Yan Ma Nian.
"I'll do it in three simple steps: lotion, sunscreen, and lip gloss, and I'll be able to do it in no time!
"You're going on a blind date, not going to the market to buy vegetables!" Yan's mother is about to get angry.
"Okay! I'll add some powder!"
"You have such a casual attitude, you won't be able to get a boyfriend! We will drive for more than two hours to get to you! Wait a minute, we will pick you up downstairs at your residence!"
"Okay! I'll see you later."
I slept for a while, and then I slowly got up and sighed, in fact, it's not that I really reject blind dates, but in the concept, people who will go on blind dates, either they may not look good, or their personalities may be a little weird, and it is really impossible to meet a 100% satisfied person, so they will be a little interested in such an arrangement, but their parents are so active in promoting it, no matter how unwilling they are, they can only cooperate, and it is not necessary to encounter an accident.
"Why do you dress like this? Didn't I tell you to be more beautiful?" Yan's mother said with a pale face.
"It's too late! I'm going to be late if I don't leave!" I was afraid that my mother would have to go upstairs to change her clothes, so I could only use this excuse to tell my father to leave quickly.
"Why did I give birth to you, come and go against me! I can't help it!" Yan's mother sighed.
The place of meeting was in Qinghe Farm, Luo's father drove the car into the parking lot, the three of them got out of the car and walked inside, there are many flowers and plants planted in the village, red, pink, yellow, green, beautiful, especially the orchid is the most attractive to my attention, I am fascinated, a group of people came, Dad came forward to greet them, I also raised my head, and his eyes met, I have to say that he is a good-looking man, with healthy bronzed skin, handsome and shapely, tall, sturdy, probably the kind of sunny man often mentioned in TV.
He seemed to be looking at me too, and he always felt that the way he looked at me was a little complicated, could it be that my dress made him think that I had low taste? Forget it!
Mom hinted with her eyes that I would greet them, and I walked up to Dad Cheng, Mom Cheng, and another Uncle Li, nodded and said, "Hello! I'm Luo Yan!", and smiled politely at him.
Cheng's mother seemed to be very satisfied with me, and she pushed her son in front of me, but he looked embarrassed and said to me: "Hello! I'm Cheng Ji, and my mother wants me to chat with you." I smiled sympathetically, after all, he was just as carried by someone as I was, and it wasn't his fault.
"Hello!" I replied.
He looked like he was trying hard to think about what to say to me, and then he squeezed out, "You're also coming back from abroad?"
"Well, I'll be back as soon as I graduate!"
His expression was a little surprised and asked, "Most people will choose to stay abroad or work for a year before coming back, why do you want to go back to China directly?"
"For eating!" I'll reply.
"What a special reason to eat!"
"I'm a foodie! When I was studying in the middle of the United States, it was so difficult! There are few restaurants in Asia, and I either cook by myself every day, or I have to eat hamburgers, fries, or Western food! I finally got my diploma, and of course I have to come back soon!"
He smiled, not as embarrassed as he had been at first.
"You're funny!" he looked at me and said.
"Will it be?" I was obviously very serious about explaining the reason for returning home.
At some point, Mom and Dad had already walked to the door of the restaurant and were calling for us to come over for lunch.
"Nice to meet you!" he said with a smile.
I smiled and replied, "Me too!"
Trolling past the restaurant, the elders ordered a lot of delicacies in the farm, there are a lot of delicious wild vegetables, chicken, wild boar, etc., really delicious, I didn't care too much about the image of the big mouthful, during the banquet, found that my mother helplessly glanced at me a few times, I smiled at her, and continued to eat the food.
After lunch, we walked around the farmstead, and he and I walked at the end, without the nervousness of the first meeting, talking about his previous studies in California, and then introducing the Asian food there.
"I know there's a lot of good food there! because my friends and I went there!"
"What's your favorite food there?"
"Thai fried rice and kimchi pot bar!"
"I also like kimchi pots! If you have a chance, you can try kimchi pots in domestic restaurants!" He said with a smile.
"Good!" I politely replied.
After playing for an afternoon, when I was leaving, I saw Cheng's mother pushing him again, probably asking him to come and say goodbye to me, he came over a little embarrassed and said to me, "I had a lot of fun today!", and then stuffed a note in my hand and said to me, "Goodbye!"
I smiled at him and waved goodbye to him.
I got into the car and listened to my mother in the front seat read: "The other party's conditions are very good, but he dresses himself like this, and he eats with others in a big gulp...... When I opened the note, it said his Email address, and I thought it was funny, because modern people either leave WeChat or phone calls, and there should not be many people who leave email like him, is this a suggestive refusal? I tilted my head and thought.
