Chapter 19: Relatives Meet (I)

After Qinglu'er came to the "Blackboard Tree Park", the first thing that caught her eye at the entrance of the park were several towering trees that were relatively old. The new leaves drawn out by the big tree at the door are more dense and green, and the flowers in the flower beds under the big tree are also blooming brightly.

The view at the entrance of the park is dizzying, but in the southeast corner of Qinglu'er walking into the park, she was shocked by the bustling crowd in the park and the people who distributed blind date advertisements everywhere. Take a closer look at the blind date advertisements on the notice board, they are not aimed at young people, most of them are widowed or divorced middle-aged and elderly people looking for a partner.

The world of the elderly suddenly broke into a young man, which naturally attracted a lot of attention, and when Qinglu'er felt the crowd projecting their gaze at her, she felt like a small animal being visited in a zoo, and she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

"Qinglu'er! I'm here! After the uncle saw Qinglu'er, he trotted over happily.

Qing Lu'er was shocked when she saw her uncle's dress, he usually wears ordinary clothes, today he is missing a balloon sleeve shirt with flowers on a white background, the pants with flowers on a white background look like they are probably bought in a set with a shirt, Qing Lu'er looked at this overly ostentatious dress from afar, and estimated in her heart that young people would not dare to wear it like this!

"Yo! How did you dress like this? Is it cold or not? Qing Lu'er couldn't hide the surprise in her heart and said.

"It's okay, I've got a tight warm jacket underneath. Dressed like this, it's young! It fully embodies the fighting spirit of not accepting the old and having the courage to try. The uncle's tone of voice was quite proud.

"Don't you feel like a little rascal? I've never seen a young man dressed like this. ”

"Otherwise, you young people are outdated, and your aesthetics can't catch up with us middle-aged and elderly people."

"Wearing such bells and whistles, it must be ill-intentioned, it's here to seduce the old lady, right?"

"Little niece, what you said, the old lady still took the initiative to seduce me! Seeing that I look so handsome, they don't know how active they are! ”

Qinglu'er and her uncle sat down at the corner of the table in the park pavilion, where a brightly colored parrot sat in a birdcage, which was probably familiar with the people here, and even if a living person came, it could calmly hold its bottle cap. Qinglu'er's uncle was holding a thick blind date page in his hand, reading them carefully one by one.

"Impetuous little old man, do my cousins know that you are like this?"

"He loves to know if he knows, huh! I'll use him to tube! They are a young couple who go to work early in the morning, and their two children go to school. Going to nursery school to nursery school, who cares about me as an old man? ”

Qing Lu'er's uncle lost the two most important women in his life in the same year four years ago, one was his wife and the other was his elder. He was extremely depressed for a while, and everyone tried various ways to comfort him, but it didn't work. Later, I don't know how long it took, he actually got better, he would look forward to happy things, and he came out of frustration, and he was obsessed with planting flowers, grass, and potted plants, so that during that time, the relatives and friends of the uncle's family were not short of green plants. After his hobby stabilized, he suddenly developed another hobby, which was parrot raising. Because of this hobby, he made friends who also loved parrots within a radius of dozens of miles.

Now it seems that his hobby has increased again, that is, blind dates.

"Look how serious you are! When did you start dating each other? Tell me you'll stay in the park all day, I thought you were here to go out or fish, but I didn't expect you to come on a blind date, you were really eye-opening. Qinglu'er said.

"I didn't know about this place, but when I was raising parrots, I made a friend who said, 'You're usually quite lonely, there are so many people here every day.' If you are lucky one day, you find a like-minded wife. Life takes care of each other. Wouldn't that be better? I think so! I'm here. At that time, I lived in the suburbs, and it was inconvenient to go back and forth for more than three hours! Later, on a whim, I came to live with your cousin first, and then went home occasionally to water the flowers and raise the grass. I brought the parrot in a cage and brought it with me, and in a few days I asked the old men and ladies to help me find a house near the park, and I rented it and lived there. ”

"Don't you live with your cousin?"

"They are a young couple and have their own affairs, and it's not good for the old man to take care of too much. I'm more at ease on my own, the two little cubs in the province are shaking my birdcage, and now my parrots are not afraid of anyone, just those two little cubs. ”

"Hey! Brother Zhijie, why is it so powerful! You can talk to a young girl! A middle-aged old man who was walking into the pavilion accosted him.

Qing Lu'er looked back at the old uncle, and felt that his clothes were slightly more low-key than her uncle's clothes, but from the perspective of the print test and collocation, it was not too low-key.

"you! Cheap old man, this is my niece. ”

"That's good! You can have a family to help you on a blind date! I guess you're going to have a good win today. ”

"Don't I have a good fortune every day? Which of the old ladies here doesn't like me? ”

"Good! You are graceful, handsome and dashing! You forgot that a few days ago, you flirted with a girl who was nine years younger than you, and you didn't pay attention to others. Hahaha! ”

"Hmph, she doesn't look down on me, I don't like her yet!"

"Pull it down! Is it difficult to go on a blind date now? Old! Old! There are quite a few requirements.

No bride price, can't look down!

No deposit, can't look at it!

No big house to look at!

Without "A+" smart cars, I can't look at it!

If you don't have knowledge or status, you can't look down on it!

Too old to look down on!

Children don't have financial independence, so they can't look down on them!

Can't look at it without medical insurance!

If you have such excellent conditions, people will already take a fancy to you, and you will be here for so long, I am afraid that you will already become a sought-after sweetheart. ”

"You little old man, what do you know? That's because I have a high threshold. ”

"Uncle, you have to be careful, didn't the news say that there are more emotional scams targeting middle-aged and elderly people now!" Qinglu'er said casually. This sentence seemed to touch the old man who was chatting, he was slightly flustered, he looked around, then put his hands behind his back, and threw himself into the crowd of disturbances.

"Qinglu'er, the gray-haired old uncle who left just now was deceived, the old lady used clever words and used a lot of means to trick him into selling the house for the elderly, and defrauding him of his pension deposits, and finally fled with the money, and the old uncle's family reported the case, but no one has been caught now. His children are now angry, they have no house and pension savings, and their children don't give him a good look from time to time, so he often walks around here. My war with him was a war of words, and this old man was a poor man. ”

"Did what I say hurt him? I don't know, I didn't mean to. ”

"Alas! Nothing big! He himself often laughed at himself.

The people who come here on a blind date, everyone has experienced half a lifetime, and some of them are dragging their children and daughters, who can really dig out their hearts to whom.

Even if the relationship is not heartfelt, everyone will get together. Why? Because it's the same age. The experience is almost the same, everyone is facing the helplessness and loneliness of aging.

Most of the desires of young people are physical desires, and most of our middle-aged and elderly desires are to get rid of the physical and psychological decay imposed on us by time.

I feel that I hope for true love more now than young people, and it is more difficult for us to have true love than young people, but we are more content than you ask for, as long as we can give us some unrealistic thoughts, whether their thoughts are real or illusory, we are already very happy, and the most afraid is that there is no thought at all. ”

"I'm sad about what you said."

"Yes! So you should still be looking for someone. Have you found a suitable match now? ”

"I'm talking to someone, and I'm not sure if there's going to be any further development."

"Come on! Little niece! ”

"Hmmm! Good! Qingluer smiled and spoke.

"Do you still live with your sister?"

"That's right."

"Did she ask you for rent?"

"Nope! Once when I wanted to give it to her, she said very seriously, 'Qinglu'er, do you look down on me?' If you really feel that you can't get by, you can cook for me for free and clean the living room and your own room! As a result, when I was busy with work. I didn't cook for him either, nor did I clean up, haha! ”

"Speaking of your work, I remember, I had a video chat with your father a few days ago, and your father said that you have resigned for a few months, what a good job! You've become a department head and have been there for many years, but you quit! ”

"That job was found for me by my sister at the time, so it's a good job! I was serious about my work, but in the months when I was about to quit, I felt that my work was becoming more and more boring, and everyone else wanted to get up and fight for the biggest position, but I didn't feel anything about them, and I repeated the same thing every day, and I felt that I couldn't see anything. ”

"Isn't it all like that? So what are you going to do? ”

"I want to develop in the culinary world in the future, and I like this one better!"

"That's good! Anyway, you have to make some arrangements for the future, and you can earn more in your pension, and you can be chic when you are old! ”

"Hmmm! Aware! Isn't there a 'singles club' for seniors? I joined the 'Singles Club'. ”

"You're talking about 'Er'an Singles Club', right? I've heard your father say it before. ”

"That's right!"

"The membership fee of the club is too expensive! It's as common as 'Blackboard Tree Park'. We, the elderly, what are we talking about psychologically? Finding true love is the most important thing! What a tangled old man! Twist it! Most of them are downplayed, and time also has some healing functions, and the blind date here is economical and affordable. ”

"Hahahaha!"

"There are a lot of people who haven't joined the 'singles club', so aren't they still single, and aren't they getting married? All roads can be reached, some people use this method, some people use that method. The 'Singles Club' has the benefits of a 'Singles Club', and the 'Civil Organizations' have the benefits of 'Civil Organizations'. ”

"Well, what Uncle said is right! Hahaha! ”

When Qinglu'er and her uncle said this, they received a text message from Ming Ming:

"Qinglu'er! I'm now sent to "W" to give a cooking lecture, and the day before yesterday you said you were going to "W" and I'm in "W" now, do you have time in the afternoon? I have a cooking lecture in the afternoon, and I would like to invite you to attend it. ”

"There's time!" Qing Lu'er replied.

"Uncle, are you still in the park in the afternoon?"

"That's right!"

"Do you want to learn cooking with me, and I'll cook some dishes for you?"

"Well, let me think about it! Am I going to throw away the chance to eat a dish? I'm a little hesitant! ”

"Little old man! You have to go, you have to go, you have to go if you don't go! Qing Lu'er said with a smile pretending to be powerful.

"Alright then, I'll just make it difficult to go with you!"

In the afternoon, the uncle wore bright and eye-catching clothes, carried a birdcage, and came to the cooking class with Qinglu'er.

"Hey! Qinglu'er! After Ming Ming saw Qinglu'er, he happily greeted her. When he saw the strangely dressed uncle next to him, he couldn't help but be curious: "Who is this?" ”

"This is my uncle, and I brought him with me to the cooking class. I haven't seen him for a long time, and today I learned to cook a dish and honor him. ”

"Hello, young man! What do you have to do with my niece?! ”

"Ahh … Oh! We are friends. ”

"What kind of friendship? Is it an ordinary friend relationship? Or is it a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship? It's still about to develop into a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship! ”

"Little old man, why are you gossiping so much?

"Hahaha! The cooking is about to begin, so let's go over. ”

"Well, okay!" Qinglu'er echoed.

"I still lack an assistant today, Qinglu'er, would you like to continue to be my assistant?"

"Well, I'm thinking about ......"

"What to consider! OK! Reserved for what? The uncle pouted.

"Hmph..."Qing Lu'er pouted at her uncle.

It is said that practice makes perfect, and Qingluer cooperated with Ming Ming again after being a teaching assistant once, and it became more tacit. Ming Ming was also very happy, and he thought that it was a very correct decision for him to take the initiative to apply for the expatriate lecture in "W" City.

After the dishes were finished, when everyone was tasting their own food, the uncle walked up to Qinglu'er, bowed his head and said to her: "You said that the young man who was chatting, is it the chef?" ”

"Yes!"

"Yo! There's a joke! The young man looks pretty good, you guys have a good chat! ”

"Hmmm! Good! ”

Qing Lu'er spent a pleasant afternoon of cooking, he and Ming Ming chatted a few more words at the end of the meal, and after they made an appointment to cook together next time, Qing Lu'er followed her uncle to her cousin's house as a guest.

The uncle got off the online taxi in advance not far from the cousin's community, and when he paced to a tea shop, he stopped and said to Qinglu'er:

"Qinglu'er, you wait for me outside the store, help me hold the birdcage, and I'll go change my clothes."

"How can I change your clothes here?"

"Put it in the pantry, I'm afraid that your cousin will dislike the bells and whistles in this dress, and I'm afraid they won't like it."

"Oh, okay!" Qinglu'er looked at her uncle's slightly stumbling and lonely figure when she walked into the pantry, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Qinglu'er was often sick when she was a child, her father was not around, and Mu Chang was busy taking care of her sister, and most of her time was spent at her father's mother-in-law and uncle's house.

Whenever Qinglu'er felt helpless and sad because of her mother's anxiety and her sister's illness, her uncle would always play the role of a small animal or a funny villain to amuse her, and the uncle would often take her and her cousin on outings, telling them some interesting things, letting them catch insects, learning about various plants, and letting them play like a splash.

During a home visit, after the teacher criticized Qinglu'er for failing her homework, the uncle patiently accompanied her to make up for the homework assessment. At that time, she and her cousin were already asleep in their bedrooms, and her uncle was still staying up late to help her make a plan for tomorrow's homework.

If it weren't for her uncle, Qinglu'er's childhood might not be so warm, and the happy times of her childhood also helped her develop the optimistic and cheerful personality she is now.

Qing Lu'er recalled the past, and her eyes couldn't help but redden. The uncle walked out of the pantry, and after changing his clothes, the uncle's dress looked very decent.

Qinglu'er looked at her uncle and said, "Uncle, is it difficult to find the house you rent?" ”

"It's hard to find, but it's not too hard to find. The main thing is that I haven't bothered to find it these days. ”

"Then I'll help you find a house together. Let's go back to the S 612 city! ”

"Okay! Little niece. Uncle still doesn't hurt you in vain, hahahahaha! ……”
