Chapter 170: Blind date
……
"By the way, son, is there anyone else in your villa for the New Year?"
After explaining the blind date, Huo Lanxiang said again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yes, what's wrong, Mom, are you going to go to my villa for the New Year?" Wang Zheng said with a smile.
"The Chinese New Year is still here, your villa is good, but it's too deserted. But on the third day of the Lunar New Year, your second uncle is coming over, and we don't have enough houses here to live in, so I plan to let him live with you!"
"My second uncle is coming?" Wang Zheng was stunned.
There are not many relatives in the family, and his father is the only seedling on his side, and after the death of his grandfather and grandmother, there are basically no relatives within three generations. Compared with my father, my mother has a lot of relatives. Moreover, she is the eldest in the family, and there is a younger brother and a younger sister below!
That is, Wang Zheng's second uncle and aunt.
However, although the two parties are cousins connected to each other's blood, Wang Zheng does not have much affection for them. It's not that people have criticized their family, but that they are too far away from each other and have too little contact with each other.
The reason why this is so still starts with Huo Lanxiang. She is not a native of Liuba, but a student of the 'old third class' who came here from Shang/Hai to join the queue when she was 'going to the mountains and going to the countryside', and later met Wang Zheng's father, so she got married and stayed in Liuba.
At the beginning, because Wang Zheng's grandmother and grandfather were still alive, although the journey was far away, she would take Wang Zheng back every year. But when Wang Zheng was ten years old, his grandmother and grandfather passed away, and Huo Lanxiang rarely took him to Shanghai, even if it was the New Year, they always made two phone calls to greet each other.
Since Wang Zheng can remember, the number of times he has seen his second uncle and aunt can be counted with two palms, how can there be too deep feelings in such a situation.
"Then my aunt is coming?"
"Your aunt won't come, she's going abroad!"
"Going abroad?"
"Well, I immigrated to the United States with your brother-in-law!"
"That's it!"
Wang Zheng nodded clearly, "Are all my second uncle's family here?"
"Your second uncle didn't say this, but your villa is so spacious, even if his whole family comes, can't he still live there!"
"That's right!" Wang Zheng nodded, "Mom, when my second uncle comes, you tell me, and I'll arrange it in advance." Also, send a car to pick them up!"
"Well, I know! By the way, son, you go to the market and cut two catties of pork for me, and come back, let's eat dumplings at night!"
"No need, Mom, I brought you when I came back, pork, beef, and mutton, which I raised myself in the villa, and it was much better than the pork in the market!"
"Where?"
"It's all in the fridge for you!"
As he spoke, Wang Zheng got up, opened the double-door refrigerator he had bought for his parents some time ago, and took out the pork inside.
This is what he specially asked Wang Yuan to bring from Taoyuan Farm, and the pigs he raised know the roots, and he can eat them at ease. Moreover, the diluted Shennong nutrient solution is used, and the meat taste is even more delicious.
"That's so much, I'm afraid this piece of meat weighs five or six pounds, right?"
"Mom, that's not a lot of meat. Isn't there a refrigerator if you can't finish eating?"
"Wang Jianguo, don't read the newspaper, come over and help chop the meat!" Huo Lanxiang nodded and beckoned her husband who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper next to her.
"Mom, I'll chop this meat!"
"Let your dad chop it, you go and pick the leeks. Let's make leek-stuffed dumplings at night!"
On the issue of cooking, Huo Lanxiang seems to be a natural general, turning the regiments commanded by Wang Zheng and Wang Jianguo, father and son.
Noodles and rolling skin, Huo Lanxiang is familiar with the road. Chopping meat, picking vegetables, making stuffing, and the final bag are all Wang Jianguo and Wang Zheng's business.
A family of three watched TV, and the busy dinner process was tedious, but it was full of the warmth of family life. If there is anything that is most nostalgic when the pace of life is so fast and the smell of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker, I am afraid that in addition to the moment of family reunion, the last thing that remains is the time for the family to sit together for a table of dinner.
After eating dumplings, the family of three sat on the sofa and watched TV and chatted until after 10 o'clock in the evening, and then went back to sleep. Early the next morning, before Wang Zheng got up, Huo Lanxiang had already begun to knock on the door and urge, asking him to hurry up, go to Hanzhong after breakfast, and don't delay the blind date that has been set.
Wang Zheng didn't want to be very unhappy with his mother in this matter. So, after breakfast, I went out as she told me.
Because I arrived too early, there were still two hours before the agreed time to meet. Therefore, even if Wang Zheng arrived in Hanzhong, he was not in a hurry.
However, after driving around the streets of Hanzhong, he found that there seemed to be no suitable place for him to go except for the teahouse that his mother had mentioned.
As for Baixiangju, it was already on holiday yesterday. Now Wang Kai and Wang Fei are all in Taoyuan Villa, not in Hanzhong at all.
"Forget it, let's go ahead of time!"
Wang Zheng, who really had no place to go, used Baidu Maps to find the teahouse.
This is an ordinary teahouse on the street, and the surrounding area is not a busy area with a lot of people, just an ordinary street. The teahouse has a total of two floors, and it looks like it has been renovated from the outside, which fills in a touch of quaint temperament for the teahouse renovated from this old house, which is in line with the industry of the teahouse itself.
After parking the car on the side of the road, Wang Zheng looked at the words 'Tianhong Teahouse' on the plaque at the door, and then walked in.
After lifting the thick curtain to shield from the cold wind, and then pushing open a glass door, you really entered the teahouse.
After entering the door, there are hollow partitions on both sides, and when you look through the partitions, there are no guests at the tables that are very cleanly polished.
And the counter directly opposite the door is constantly ringing, and when you hear it, you know that it is the recently popular drama "Langya Bang". And the reason why Wang Zheng, who doesn't usually watch TV series much, knows is also thanks to the persistence of his mother Huo Lanxiang last night.
Except for the central news at seven o'clock, which is the reserved program of Wang Zheng and Wang Jianguo's father and son, the rest of the time is basically occupied by my mother Huo Lanxiang, and it happens to be this "Langya Bang"!
After briefly taking a look at the surrounding environment, Wang Zheng walked to the counter.
"Boss, are you still open?"
Wang Zheng's words sobered up the middle-aged woman who was intoxicated with the plot.
"Are you Wang Zheng?" the woman looked up and down for a while, and then suddenly said with surprise.
"You know me?"
Wang Zheng was stunned. He was pretty sure he had never seen the middle-aged woman in front of him.
"Of course I know you!" As she spoke, the woman stood up and looked at Wang Zheng with interest, the TV series that had made her preoccupied just now no longer have the slightest appeal.
"You're from Liuba, aren't you?"
"yes, just drove over!"
"Oops, it's rare for you to come here so early. Come, come, I'll find you a seat!" As she spoke, the woman came out of the counter and sat down Wang Zheng by the window on the left.
Regarding the deliberate closeness of the woman, Wang Zheng is still confused.
"By the way, what kind of tea do you like to drink?"
"Anything!"
"Then I'll bring you a pot of Wuyi black tea, it's good to drink black tea in winter, it's warm, and it nourishes your stomach!"
Saying that, the woman didn't care whether Wang Zhengtong agreed or not, turned around and made him a pot of black tea, and then brought some melon seeds over. Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Wang Zheng to express his gratitude, he said, 'You wait a while', and then left in a hurry again. And instead of going back to the counter, he opened the small door behind the counter and walked in.
After the woman left, the entire teahouse was quiet, and only Wang Zheng himself was left.
Although he was confused in his heart, with the idea of 'what comes is safe', Wang Zheng picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of black tea, sipped melon seeds, looked at the scenery outside the window, and waited for the development of things quietly.
About ten minutes later, there was another noise next to the counter.
When Wang Zheng heard the voice and turned his head to look, it was no longer the middle-aged woman who came into view, but a tall young woman wearing a red down jacket, black tights, and brown snow boots on her feet.
Looking at the other party's appearance, it is the object of today's blind date - Meng Qingling!
At this time, Wang Zheng also suddenly understood.
"That aunt was your mother, right?"
"Yes! This teahouse is also owned by our family!"
"I thought of it, otherwise at this time, it would have been closed for the New Year!"
Meng Qingling smiled and stretched out her right hand towards Wang Zheng, "Hello, my name is Meng Qingling!"
"Wang Zheng!"
"Let's sit down and talk!" Meng Qingling said after a simple handshake.
"Okay!"
"Didn't you say we met at ten o'clock, why did you come so early?"
"I wanted to come on time, but my mother didn't do it, so she insisted that I come early. Moreover, there is no other place to go in Hanzhong except for the supermarket that is still open. So, I didn't want to freeze in the car, so I came early!" Wang Zheng said casually.
"You're quite humorous!"
"Humor! It's the first time I've heard that word from a girl!"
"Haven't you been in a relationship before?"
"Before?" Wang Zheng's expression froze, and after the color of memory flashed in his eyes, his expression quickly returned to normal, and then he shook his head, "I haven't talked about it!"
"It's really unexpected, my mother said that you graduated from college and started your own business, and your father is the deputy county magistrate, the conditions are so good, why haven't you been in love?"
"Maybe fate hasn't arrived!" Wang Zheng shook his head indifferently.
Realizing that Wang Zheng was unwilling to talk more about this matter, Meng Qingling changed the topic, "There is something I want to tell you in advance!"
"What's the matter?"
After hesitating slightly, Meng Qingling lowered her voice, "Actually, I have a boyfriend!"
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Yes, but my boyfriend's family is not very good, so my mother has always disapproved of the two of us. I had to give me a blind date, and then I found you!I'm really sorry!" (To be continued.) )
