Chapter 61: Blind Date (3)
"Xiao Su, I picked three loofahs, two cucumbers and four eggplants in the yard, let's go to Lao Chen's house for dinner in a while, you remember to remind me to bring the dishes." Xiao Anbang said happily.
"Okay. But, uncle, let's all go together, is it really okay?"
"What's that? I heard from the old Xu next door that he and his daughter-in-law are also going. We all brought food, and we didn't eat his house for nothing. ”
"Okay. Su Yi washed Chengcheng's face and hands, changed into clean new clothes, and hung him an army-green mini satchel, which contained some of his favorite snacks and a dozen white rabbit toffee, "Chengcheng, when you arrive at Grandpa Chen's house, remember to follow Grandpa Chen's call and be polite." You also have to share the toffee and snacks with other children, and the food must be shared with everyone to be delicious. You can't play with mud and sand with people, you know?"
"Hmm. Chengcheng hugged the doll and blinked his big eyes, "Auntie, I want to take the brave baby there, is it okay?"
"Yes. But you have to hold on, don't fall off. Do you know?" Su Yi touched Chengcheng's little head, went to the hall and took two catties of peaches brought back from Liu Ping, and went to Chen's house with Xiao Anbang's grandson and grandson.
When they arrived, the courtyard of the Chen family was full of people, and everyone was talking and laughing, which was very lively. Almost every neighbor in Qingshui Lane was present, and Su Yi didn't know if they all heard that she was arranged on a blind date tonight and came over to see the excitement.
Xiao Anbang and Su Yi exchanged pleasantries with people, and Lao Chen's daughter-in-law Zhou Hongfang saw Su Yi and smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth. Zhou Hongfang explained to her two daughters-in-law to greet the guests, and she personally led Su Yi to the hall, saying that she had a stiff neck last night, and her neck was very sore, and she wanted to ask Su Yi to help her press it.
Xiao Anbang squinted and saw a well-dressed family and an old Chen sitting in the hall, one of whom was a young man in his early twenties, with a big back comb, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome facial features, fair skin, wearing a brand-new black tunic, like a star in a movie.
This young man should be the nephew of Zhou Hongfang's mother's family, with a glamorous appearance, and he looks like a good match for the gentle and beautiful Su Yi.
No wonder the eyes of several young girls and daughters-in-law in the courtyard couldn't help but fly to the hall, and their voices were much lower than usual.
"Comrade Hongfang, wait, I'll go in and sit down with you. My old cold legs are guilty again, and it's uncomfortable to stand. Xiao Anbang pretended not to see Zhou Hongfang's eyes, and walked in front cheekily.
Zhou Hongfang glared at Xiao Anbang's back hatefully, turned her head and grabbed Su Yi's hand, and whispered to her: "Today, my mother's second brother's family happened to be a guest at my house, and the woman in the hall is my mother's second sister-in-law Lin Wan, and the people sitting next to her are my second brother Zhou Hongjun and nephew Zhou Yuanhong. Just now, my second sister-in-law said that she recently had cervical spondylosis, and her neck was stiff and sore. My situation is not as serious as hers, just pinch and pound me later. ”
"Okay. Su Yi smiled and nodded, her heart twisted: not to mention how embarrassing it is to go on a blind date with a stranger, you have to meet the man's parents, and being watched by a group of gossipy residents is completely embarrassing to the Nth power. She wanted to turn around and leave. The family of three in the hall looked at her very attentively, with scrutiny, so that she couldn't ignore it.
Before Zhou Hongfang and Su Yi entered the house, Lin Wan took her son's hand and walked to the threshold to greet them, "Hongfang, is this what you said about Comrade Xiao Su? Ouch, he is so handsome!"
"Our Xiao Su is a flower in Qingshui Alley, it is needless to say that it is beautiful, the key is that people are kind and good-tempered, and everyone likes it when they see it. Come, Xiao Su, this is my second sister-in-law, you call her Aunt Lin. ”
"Aunt Zhou, you have won the prize. Hello Aunt Lin, I'm Su Yi. Su Yi hung a polite smile, she didn't know what to say at all, she half-bowed her head and pretended to be shy.
"Okay, Xiao Su, this is my son Yuanhong. Lin Wan pulled Zhou Yuanhong's arm, "What are you doing, go and move two stools for Xiao Su and your aunt." There is a strong smell of smoke in the hall, let's sit at the door, it is ventilated here, and it is not so choking. ”
"Second sister-in-law, what you said is very true. Zhou Hongfang pushed Su Yi to Lin Wan's side and said with a smile: "There is still something in the kitchen, you can talk about it first." I'll go and come again. ”
"Hmm. The more Lin Wan looked at Su Yi, the more she liked it, held her hand, and asked her if she had eating habits here, how was the work at the post office, what she liked to eat, etc., she had a gentle attitude, a soft voice, and a kind smile on her face, Su Yi simply chatted with her, and then quietly rubbed her neck and shoulders.
"Xiao Su, your skills can be compared with the old Chinese medicine doctor in our hospital. It's so comfortable to press. Did you learn it specifically from a doctor, or did you learn it from a family handicap?"
Lin Wan gave her son a few glances and asked him to find a topic to chat with Su Yi. Zhou Yuanhong didn't know whether he was shy or embarrassed, pretended not to see the fucking eyes, and remained silent. Most of the time, he stared at the crazy children outside, and occasionally glanced at Su Yi.
"I learned from an old man who practiced medicine in the family home. Su Yi concentrated on massaging Lin Wan, she admired Zhou Yuanhong's quietness very much, just as if he didn't exist. chatting with Lin Wan made her feel more comfortable. During this time, she has been in contact with many aunts and aunts every day, and she is very accustomed to socializing with middle-aged and elderly people.
"Xiao Su, do you have any relatives over here, are you still walking around?"
"Nope. ”
"I heard his aunt say that you live in Xiao Gong'an's house, are you still used to it?"
"It's good. ”
"Then do you have a target?" Lin Wan went around for a long time, and finally returned to the point: "Our Yuanhong works in the Municipal Education Commission, is the director of the procurement department, and is usually responsible for contacting the printing house to print and deliver books to schools in the city and nearby counties and towns, as well as purchasing stationery or something. He is only a little busier at the beginning of school every year, and usually sits in the office, which is relatively leisurely and can take care of his family. The salary is not low, the basic salary is sixty-two yuan a month, and it is no problem to support a family. Xiao Su, what do you think of our Yuanhong?"
"Mom, what are you talking about? Zhou Yuanhong glanced at Lin Wan unhappily, and then looked at Su Yi with a little nervousness and pride, waiting for her answer. He felt that his conditions were excellent, and he thought that Su Yi should not refuse to deal with other people.
is also nervous, or Xiao Anbang, who is smoking and chatting with Lao Chen and Zhou Hongbing. Xiao Anbang pricked up his ears and waited for Su Yi's answer. He had to know Su Yi's reaction first, and then decide how to stir up this blind date.
"Comrade Yuanhong is young and promising, very good......," Su Yi paused, "It's just that my personal conditions are not good, and I am not worthy of him." Thank you Aunt Lin for your love. ”
Lin Wan didn't give up: "I think you guys are quite worthy." Xiao Su, Auntie likes a gentle and honest child like you, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I really want to ask you to be your daughter-in-law, think about it again. ”
"Auntie, I'm ......"
"Mom, that's enough. Zhou Yuanhong didn't expect Su Yi to look down on him, he was rejected by Su Yi without hesitation, and seeing that he was about to be rejected for the second time, his self-esteem was hurt, and he said coldly: "I want to work hard now." When Comrade Su and we first met, you told people that some of these people didn't know that I didn't want anyone and couldn't marry a daughter-in-law. The implication is that he has no shortage of suitors, Su Yi doesn't like him, she has eyes but no beads, and he has people who like him.
Su Yi: "Hehe. "This week, Yuanhong's face is quite big.
Lin Wan asked Zhou Yuanhong to say something so hot that her face was hot, and she slapped him twice: "Shut up!"
Xiao Anbang glanced at Zhou Yuanhong, who was obscure and contemptuous, and said in his heart: "Idiot! Hehe, how can Xiao Su look down on a person like him who has an empty appearance, low IQ and emotional intelligence? This Zhou Yuanhong is far worse than his own son.
Xiao Anbang felt that Su Yi had seen such a handsome figure as his son, and it was impossible for him to look at Zhou Yuanhong. Now he was relieved, and he didn't have to bother to figure out how to make a divisive plan, and continued to laugh and talk with others.
Because of Zhou Yuanhong's words, the atmosphere suddenly became cold and awkward, Su Yi was thinking about finding some excuse to leave, when he suddenly heard Chengcheng's cry, decisively left Zhou Yuanhong's mother and son, and ran out in a hurry.
