I stood at the door for a long time, and finally went home silently with the box in my hand.

Strange to say, my grandfather lived in the oldest courtyard house in Yanjing, according to that area, now at least hundreds of millions, and it is said that when my father died, he also left me a courtyard, and the area does not seem to be smaller than my grandfather's.

But my mother didn't live there, she had to take me to live in a tube building at the foot of Yiqibao Mountain, and she never let me go far away, especially those mountains and villages, and I didn't even think about it.

I haven't been out of this district from elementary school to high school, and I only went to the college town in the south of the city for college, and I had to go home when I didn't go to school, and when she was busy with work, I lived with my lord, and it was not dark yet, and my grandfather began to call me home by a phone call.

I used to resist, but then I got used to it, and the days of eating and waiting for death were good, at least there was no pressure in life.

The dishes have been set up in the kitchen, and I don't know why, I am very hungry today, and I have eaten twice the usual amount of food, so I feel full.

While eating, I reached out and opened the box that my grandfather gave me.

It was a piece of red jade, the shape of a phoenix, down to every feather, and it was hard to imagine how much effort Grandpa had spent carving it at that time.

I don't understand jade, I just think it's good-looking, so I took it with me without thinking about it.

As for the bag of herbs, it was placed on the coffee table, ready to be brought to Xiao Luo next time he went to work.

After taking a hot shower, the whole person felt a lot more comfortable, I sat on the sofa with a novel in my arms, looked at it, and sleepiness hit.

I don't know if it's because I brought a jade pendant, but this night, I slept very peacefully.

When I woke up again, I was still woken up by my mother's phone ringing.

"Gu Anzhi, have you woken up?"

My mother has always been strict, and she never calls me Anzhi or baby or anything like that, and I don't seem to have a nickname, or my nickname is to be Anzhi.

"Wake up." I poured myself a glass of water and made my way to the kitchen, ready to go in search of food for the evening.

However, my mother issued a new order to me on the other end of the phone: "At 8 o'clock in the evening, Olive Tree Western Restaurant, Desk 20, blind date, dress nicely, don't embarrass me." ”

"Blind date?" The half-eaten cucumber in my hand fell to the ground.

There was only a busy sound left in his ears.

That's right, that's my strong mother, and every time she gives a command, it's so simple and crude.

Less than 1 minute after the call ended, a text message appeared on the phone.

"Gu Anzhi, dress up better, I have a newly bought skirt on the bed, so I'll wear that. Don't be late, there are 20 stations on the second floor of the olive tree, and the person's surname is Xie, a civil servant. ”

Other than that, there is no further information.

I opened the door of my mother's room, and sure enough, there was a long red dress in the center of the bed, which was very colorful, but it was the kind of sloppy shoulders and bare waist.

It's almost not in the same world as the clothes my mother bought for me in the past, do you really think that I can't get married, so I need to take the sexy route?

I have to say that her choice was successful, when I stood in front of the mirror, looking at my slender waist, the red birthmark on my back, just exposed outside, the shape of the mandala flower, very bewitching.

Because it was far away, I deliberately set off an hour and a half early, and the strange thing is that there was no shortage of money at home, and no one drove from my grandfather's generation to me.

Later, I learned that it was not that it would not be opened, but that it could not be opened.

When I arrived at the Western restaurant, it was already 7:45, and I looked for a location, but found that this Brother Xie hadn't even arrived, and I felt a little more relieved for no reason.

But my mother ordered me to be there, so I had to continue to sit until half past eight, and this Mr. Xie did not appear.

"Gu Anzhi, you can finish eating and go home." The voice on the other end of the line was irritated.

"Oh yes, by the way, pack me for a while, I want a fruit pizza, 6 ripe sizzling filets, a chicken bacon salad....."

Mother chattered and instructed, and at the end, I told me that Brother Xie was unfortunate enough to drive into a tree on the way here, and he was fine, but the car would have to be repaired for at least a few days.

Presumably, even if it is repaired, he will not meet me again, right? After all, most of the people in Old Yanjing are still relatively superstitious.

It's just that I underestimate my mother's combat effectiveness.

Before I got home, I received another text message: "Gu Anzhi, I don't care what method you use, find me someone to marry within three months." ”
