1-A, Head of Household: Liu Yan)

"At half past six o'clock tonight, No. 306 Zhiweixuan in the commercial housing of our community, dress decently, speak cautiously, I wish you success!"

"Thank you, Sister Qiao!" Liu Yan put down the phone and looked up at the clock, it was already four forty-seven. He hurriedly ran downstairs, ran to the "Century Liangma International Beauty and Hair Salon" hair salon under the commercial house of Zhiwei Seaview Flower Garden, took out the crumpled six yuan, pointed to his bird's nest and hurriedly said: "Master Lian, I went on a blind date for the first time, help me get better!" ”

Lian Fei, a hairdresser with a hairstyle of "thousands of purples and thousands of reds is always spring", is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, and he raised his hand to sprinkle the hair in his hand to the photo on the wall: "Dude, pick any hairstyle on this, or a 'non-mainstream' head like me?" You are from our community, absolutely discounted! ”

"No need, six dollars is enough to shave your head!"

"Are you sure you have a flat head? It's very earthy, and you're not afraid to ...... on a date."

"There are flat heads in all ages, and flat heads will never be dirty." Liu Yan interrupted, "Big brother, I will give my mother all this month's salary, I will only shave these six yuan, you can shave." ”

The hairdresser pursed his lips and scolded in his heart: "What a poor and sour thing, shaving your head in the fifties of the last century and not blushing at all, so slamming the door, I wish you no suspense in your blind date!" ”

After shaving his head roughly, Liu Yanben went home and took a shower, chose from the only five or six coats belonging to himself in the closet, and finally chose the most fashionable and the only dark blue coat with a price of more than three hundred yuan, and then wiped the old leather shoes like old bark with a rag for a long time, looked in the mirror, and then went out satisfied.

Changxing Street outside the Zhiwei Community is a famous food street in Mashan District, with restaurants on the south side and food stalls on the north side. The local catering industry in Yanzhou is not very developed, and there is no independent famous food, so it is basically opened by outsiders, such as Sichuan hot pot, Korean dog meat, Inner Mongolia whole sheep, Xinjiang meat skewers, and steaming meat soup, which are cheap and affordable. But to say the most high-grade, the best business is still the famous "Zhiweixuan" in Yanzhou, it belongs to the top ten private enterprises in the city of the Qianlong Group, almost every Qianlong Group development of real estate is equipped with Zhiweixuan's chain, it is said that every day is full, the price is also quite expensive, Liu Yan is a native of the local, due to excessive picking, in his twenties, only to have the first opportunity to eat.

Although Liu Yan went on a blind date for the first time, he was twenty-four years old after all, and he knew some local customs, and he needed a total of four people, in addition to himself and the woman, he also needed two introducers, who must be very familiar with each other, so as to build a bridge. Usually the introducer must have taken the marriage, otherwise it will be unlucky to introduce someone else - a sign that they themselves may become an old bachelor or an old girl. The introducer on her side is a young female master in her father's unit, Liu Yan has seen her, she looks very temperamental, I believe that her vision will not be low, and she will definitely introduce herself to a good object.

After asking the waiter, Liu Yan brushed his hair a few times, coughed a few times, gently pushed open the door and asked, "Is it the room that Sister Qiao booked?" ”

A familiar voice came from inside: "Xiao Liu is here?" Come in! ”

Liu Yan hunched his waist and paced slowly, secretly looking at the three young women in front of him. Sister Qiao is the bureau flower of the Municipal Electric Power Bureau, wearing a set of professional clothes, adding a touch of sassy and heroic spirit to her pretty. The other is the other party's introducer, Sister Qiao's former classmate and friend Sister Yan, she is the deputy director of the sales department of a famous clothing company in the city, and she is also a woman with a strong personality, and her appearance is not inferior to Sister Qiao. The third place, the girl sitting opposite Liu Yan looked younger, and she was dressed up very fashionably, which made a conservative and autistic person like Liu Yan feel frivolous at a glance, and before entering the door, Liu Yan heard them laughing and laughing, especially this girl is the most lively, how can a blind date be so unserious? Liu Yan was not very happy in his heart, the standard of his dream lover was a simple girl who had become extinct in the early nineties of the last century, wearing an ordinary ponytail, wearing a white and flawless dress, hanging his head and biting his lower lip shyly.

Although Liu Yan was already dissatisfied, and did not call the girl on his first feeling, he also knew the minimum politeness, and he must not stand up and leave, which would not only not give face to the introducer, but also hurt the self-esteem of this strange woman, why should he offend people when they met for the first time? I had to pretend to smile, listen to the introducer for a while, and introduce each other, it turned out that the girl's name was Yin Xinshui, she was from Puchuan, and she had a cousin who was a leader in the local Cultural Bureau.

The three girls saw that Liu Yan was very dull, so they began to look for topics enthusiastically, talking about the TV series they were watching recently, what was new, what was new, Harbin at night, etc., and the discussion was very enthusiastic. It wasn't until everyone suddenly remembered that they came here to eat as if they were going on a blind date rather than discussing TV series, so they asked Liu Yan what TV series he liked. Liu Yan stubbornly said, "That...... Legend of the Condor Heroes. Seeing that the three of them were stunned and speechless, he added: "New ...... New Legend of the Condor Heroes. ”

The girl looked at Liu Yan without hesitation from the beginning to the present, without any shyness, and said herself generously: "This Sister Yan is my cousin, I just graduated this summer, I just got admitted to the civil service, and I am one year older than you. ”

Liu Yan was stunned: "Civil servants are so well paid, how could you think of meeting a college student like me?" ”

Although Sister Yan had heard that Liu Yan was a typical otaku, she didn't expect Liu Yan to speak so mentally retarded, coughed a few times in embarrassment, and said: "Education is not the most important thing, the key is that I heard Qiao Qiao say that you are a young man with good character, honest and honest, and I can rest assured that I will entrust our family to you." ”

Yin Xinshui turned the plate of sauce duck tongue that the waiter had just served to Liu Yan, and said bluntly: "Master Liu, you are a sincere person. The salary of civil servants is indeed not low, and I can now get more than 1,800 yuan a month, and after a year, I will be able to reach nearly 2,500 yuan. But this money for food and drink is OK, no matter how small Yanzhou is, it is also a coastal city, every inch of land is expensive, housing prices are so expensive, I am a foreigner, my home is in the countryside, no matter how much I save, it is difficult to save a house. I heard Sister Qiao say that your father is a veteran of the Electric Power Bureau, and your family has two houses, and you will soon divide one set again. I think if I succeed in talking to you about friends, I will be more stable and secure in the future. ”

Sister Yan and Sister Qiao were shocked by Yin Xinshui's explicit confession, and they didn't think of what to say to remedy it for a while, they both looked at Liu Yan, thinking that these two people were so subtle, and most of them would collapse. Of course, Liu Yan was also surprised, and a sense of sadness and helplessness surged in his heart: Do women in today's world value interests so much when choosing a mate? Maybe the world is like this, and it's no wonder they are. He secretly complained in his heart that Sister Qiao told Yin Xinshui about the only house in his family that he could boast about, it seemed that he was really useless, otherwise how could people agree to date him? said quietly: "That's right, my family has saved one or two houses, but what is the use of the roof of the house, the Sichuan earthquake, how many people with houses are homeless?" Besides, haven't house prices come down now......"

Yin Xinshui said very confidently: "Yanzhou is a treasure land of feng shui, thousands of miles away from the earthquake zone (everyone is embarrassed when they hear this), there has never been a major natural disaster in history, and it is also close to the sea, and the house will only increase in value." ”

Liu Yan said again: "I am famous for slamming the door, I don't believe you asked Sister Qiao." He ignored Sister Qiao's desperate wink, and insisted: "In addition to the necessities of life, I only take six yuan a month to shave my head, save the rest, and go to my parents' house to eat at noon and night." ”

Yin Xinshui still said: "It's okay. I appreciate frugality, I took international finance in college, and I can help you manage your finances. In addition, my cooking skills are pretty good, and I'm sure you'll get used to it. ”

Liu Yan drooped his head: "Actually, I ...... you"

Yin Xinshui interrupted unhurriedly: "Actually, I'm more satisfied with you. ”

Sister Qiao and Sister Yan were more happy to see that Yin Xinshui liked Liu Yan. After chatting for half an hour, the bill was paid, and the four of them went downstairs together. Sister Yan and Sister Qiao suddenly stopped in front of a very ordinary print downstairs, pretending to be surprised and commenting that they said Oh, this painting is really beautiful or something, in fact, even if they can't meet the painting, they will find a reason to stop, and gesture behind their backs with their hands, asking Liu Yan and Yin Xinshui to walk together alone and send her home.

Liu Yan was helpless, said goodbye to the two, and saw that Yin Xinshui was still waiting at the door, Liu Yan had to ask wistfully: "How many buses do you take to go back to the dormitory?" "For the sake of a person who will go his own way tomorrow, he is reluctant to hire a rental.

Yin Xinshui said 17 routes, and Liu Yan secretly complained: "Which road is not good?" Route 17 has a stop outside the cave tunnel opposite, and it takes 20 minutes to walk from here, where the security is not good......"
