The morning air in the countryside is very fresh, but in late spring, it is still a little chilly, but many villagers are already working in the fields.

Chen Mingxuan took a few green peaches and cut them, removed the peach pits in the middle, and put them in a clean juicer to squeeze four cups of peach juice.

"Grandma, you have a drink; Grandpa, you drink too. Chen Mingxuan greeted the grandma and grandfather who were watching from the side.

Ah Gong wanted to taste anything he saw when he saw it, and immediately smiled: "I feel delicious when I smell it." ”

Grandma was also aroused by her appetite, and carefully brought it to her mouth and took a sip, and then took another sip......

"Xiao Ming." Grandma said.

"Huh?"

"Did your aunt come back from feeding the pigs? Let her drink too, it will be delicious. ”

"She's back, she'll be out in a moment, and I'll keep her a cup here."

"Hmm." Grandma was silent again.

Seeing that Ah Gong had finished drinking, Chen Mingxuan said: "If you still want to drink, drink my cup too." ”

Ah Gong was not polite, and drank again.

"Wake up?"

It was his mother's voice, and Chen Mingxuan said, "Well, this has a cup of peach juice, it's delicious, it's for you." ”

"Where did you get the peaches?"

"I bought it in the car, and I forgot to take it out last night."

"We don't use juicers again, and we don't usually buy much fruit."

"If you buy it, you can use it when you want to use it."

"You call the woman last night again and make an appointment with someone to go out and have fun."

"Auntie, didn't she refuse last night, no one looks down on your son."

"I called your aunt in the morning and said we could meet you. You don't have anything to do today, and you have a women's car at home, you take me to town, let's go and meet the woman together. ”

"No, you've made an appointment with other women?" Chen Mingxuan didn't expect his mother to be so powerful!

"When I called your aunt, the woman's mother happened to come to her house. The woman is your aunt's neighbor. ”

"That woman wants to see us, too?"

"Yes, her mother said that she came back from annual leave, and she didn't go back to Yangcheng until the Qingming Festival worshiped her ancestors (Qingming worship ancestors). I'm free during this time, and it just so happens that you're back, so I'll meet you and talk to you later. ”

"Okay."

Chen Mingxuan almost choked on his own saliva, but he was afraid that the woman was also going to be forced to be pulled over on a blind date, so he could only give in sadly and angrily.

It seems that the blind date can't escape, and the matter of going to handle the Hulu Valley contracting today will be postponed.

To be honest, although he is close to thirty years old, he is no longer in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law because he got Zhen Yuanzhu-hey? No, it's always been my mother who is anxious.

I have to say that after living in the magic capital for a long time, I don't have the sense of urgency that I have to start a family in my twenties in the countryside, and I still take it seriously that I haven't married at the age of thirty, thinking that I can postpone it for a few years.

——————————

Yichang Town, named after Yichang River, is a town close to the urban area under the jurisdiction of Longcheng City, and it is also a town with better development.

The blind date was in a small restaurant in town.

Chen Mingxuan's side, only he and his mother came; There were five people from the woman, herself, her sister-in-law, her mother, her sister, and her sister's youngest daughter.

plus the matchmaker of the aunt, eight people, all of them have almost gathered a table.

Mother waved her hand: "Come on, come on, don't stand at the door, let's go inside, it's almost noon, let's order some food, eat whatever you want." Poor greetings, inconsiderate greetings......"

Her mother smiled: "Okay, okay, just eat a little, the main thing is that the two children meet, leave a WeChat or something, and then ask the two of them to look at each other." ”

"Yes, yes, let's meet today and get to know each other briefly."

Mother led everyone into the hotel, and the aunt grabbed Chen Mingxuan from behind and whispered: "You will be honest for a while, but don't be too silent, don't be like usual, you can't jump out of a few words with a stick." ”

The corners of Chen Mingxuan's mouth twitched, okay, he still treated him as a child.

"Auntie, I see."

"It's good to know. Hey, wait, you're sitting next to her, and you're going to pick up some food for her, you know? ”

"Got it, pick up the food with her."

The aunt grabbed Chen Mingxuan, who was about to go inside: "Why are you in a hurry?" For a while, we don't care about the two of you, you have to communicate on your own. She graduated from Yangcheng University, four years younger than you, and has just come out to work for two years. You have to be proactive, you know? ”

"Four years younger than me? Maybe someone has a boyfriend, but her mother doesn't know? ”

"No, she said no. She has a boyfriend that her mother doesn't know? Will her mother introduce me to a man to her daughter? ”

"No, Auntie, they're all in, and the two of us are talking here in a whisper......"

"Do you remember?" Auntie is still not at ease.

"Remembered."

"Let's go inside."

——————————

"Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables!" The mother pointed to a table of dishes and beckoned, "Oh, the dishes are still a little small, I'll let the restaurant stir-fry two more dishes." ”

"Don't don't, enough is enough, you're too polite, we can't finish eating...... I can't finish eating...... "The woman's mother immediately stopped it.

"Yes, yes, that's enough, where to order so many dishes." The woman's eldest sister was also on the side to stop it.

Her sister-in-law suddenly said, "What's your name?" Do you work in the Magic City? How many years? ”

Everyone was silent, and Chen Mingxuan replied: "My name is Chen Mingxuan, tomorrow's Ming, Che Ganxuan, I will work in the magic capital after graduation, and I have been working for six years." ”

Her mother smiled: "My daughter's name is Fang Xiaolan, she graduated from Yangcheng University, she stayed in Yangcheng to work, and she came back when she wanted to come back on weekends." This kid is tender and a little shy......"

"Mom!" Fang Xiaolan blushed and shouted, stopping her mother from continuing.

Fang Xiaolan is not very beautiful, but she is still a little attractive and a little thin, which should be the reason why girls are losing weight all the time.

"Have you added someone else's WeChat?" Her mother asked.

"I'll add it in a moment."

"Add it now. You're twenty-six, Chen Ming...... Uh, what's the name? ”

"Auntie, my name is Chen Mingxuan. We'll just add it after we've eaten. ”

"Let's add it first." Her sister said the same.

As a last resort, Chen Mingxuan had no choice but to take out his mobile phone: "You call up the QR code, I'll scan it." ”

Fang Xiaolan brought up the two-dimensional, Chen Mingxuan scanned it, and added friends after a while.

Seeing that her son had already added the other party's friend, the mother hurriedly greeted: "Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables, otherwise it will be cold after a while." ”

"Eat, eat, you're welcome." Several people on the other side responded loudly.

Seeing that Chen Mingxuan was doing nothing, the aunt said, "You can put a dish on Xiaolan, don't say nothing." ”

Then he said: "Mingxuan, this kid, has been honest since he was a child, and he can't coax girls, but he is a good person, and we all watched him grow up." The academic performance is also good, otherwise I would not have been admitted to the big city of the magic capital to go to university. He was the first college student in their village to be admitted to the Demon Capital, and none of them were admitted to the Demon Capital in the future. ”

Chen Mingxuan sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for Fang Xiaolan: "I just ate a piece, it tastes good, you eat it." ”

"Thank you."

The aunt said: "Xiaolan is beautiful and filial, and when she came out of college, she also found a good job, all of which are good." ”

"Hey, Xiao Ming, this kid, looks good, I like it." Fang Mu smiled.

The mother said: "Xiaolan, this child, I like it too." Xiao Ming used to be a little fat, but now he has lost weight, just right. Come on, come on, eat vegetables, not enough to order again. ”

"Oh oh, eat the vegetables and eat the vegetables......"

The sister-in-law of the Fang family said: "How much salary does Xiao Ming have now?" It's expensive to spend a lot on (the magic capital), right? ”

"It's okay, I've been doing it for six years, and I've got fifteen thousand."

"So how much deposit? Are you ready to buy a house on (Magic City)? ”

Chen Mingxuan smiled bitterly: "The average house price in the magic capital is fifty or sixty-one square meters, a house is several million, and the down payment is 30%, where can I afford the down payment?" ”

"Ah, it's so expensive, Longcheng City is only 4,55 square meters, one of my elementary school classmates, her family just bought a set of 120 square meters when she was a year. So have you deposited a deposit and are ready to buy a house in Dragon City? ”

Chen Mingxuan said embarrassedly: "I have a house at home, but I don't prepare ......"

The mother pulled Chen Mingxuan's clothes under the table and grabbed the conversation: "Buy, buy in the city!" His dad and I went to the city last week to look at the house. The house in the magic capital is too expensive to afford. Xiao Ming, how much deposit do you have? ”

Chen Mingxuan was stunned for a moment and said, "About 100,000." ”

Mother said: "Xiao Ming has worked for a few years and saved some money, he took 80,000 yuan in savings by himself, and his father helped pay the rest, but he will have to pay for the house himself in the future." ”

"That's right, the house in the magic capital is too expensive. That must have bought a car, listen to your aunt, you are a small leader? ”

The aunt's face was already very bad, but it was not easy to help say anything, and when she heard the other party mention it, she said, "That was two years ago." ”

Chen Mingxuan scratched his head: "I really didn't buy it." The main reason is that I didn't have money to buy it at the beginning, so I didn't learn to drive, and when I had the money to buy a cheap one that could be used to travel, I was busy. Besides, the roads in the magic capital are relatively congested, and many people with cars like to take the subway to commute, especially now that there are shared bicycles. ”

"Oh oh. Also, listening to Xiaolan, Yangcheng is also very congested during the rush hour. ”

——————————

After half an hour, the women chatted hotly, and they felt like they were seeing each other late.

Chen Mingxuan and Fang Xiaolan had almost nothing to say, neither of them had a feeling of love at first sight, or a good impression at first sight, so after a meal, they listened to the women's exchanges.

He has practiced, his ears are deaf and his eyes are clear, and during the banquet, he listened to the sister-in-law of the Fang family and the sister of the Fang family bowing their heads and biting their ears.

"Sister, if you buy a house in the urban area, 4,500 square meters, at least 120 square meters, this is 540,000 yuan, and the down payment of two floors is 110,000 yuan, plus miscellaneous procedures, it will cost at least 130,000 yuan. He has two brothers in his family, and his father can give 50,000 yuan, which is already enough. For the mortgage, the down payment is 110,000 yuan, and the remaining 530,000 yuan is more than 3,000 per month. But he is in the magic capital, with a monthly salary of 15,000, and he will only get 10,000 yuan, I heard that he rented a small suite. The house price in the magic capital is more expensive than that in Yangcheng, how can it cost 3,000 to rent a small set, which is 6,000 and 5, except for food and drink, there is not much money per month. Pregnancy, childbirth, and child-bearing in the future...... Can't let Xiaolan go to work, you have to take care of the children, otherwise you will hire a nanny, who knows the current nanny? It's not that the Internet doesn't say that nannies won't take good care of children and the elderly, abuse, last week I also saw a report saying that there was a nanny who set fire to the house, and it was absolutely not okay to ask a nanny. If Xiaolan goes to the magic capital with her, she will live in a rented house, and the adults will be okay, and the children will also live in a rental house? It's better to let him go back to Yangcheng, so that he can buy a car and go home to live on weekends if he has a house in the city. The children can be left at home and brought by the mother, and they can be seen when they come back on the weekend. ”

"That's right."

"But there is one point, the housing price in Yangcheng is lower, but when he returns to Yangcheng, he may not have a salary of fifteen thousand, and if he gets it, it will be eight or nine thousand."

"Well, money is getting less and less valuable now...... That, there are so many blind dates, this is more suitable, the bad guy is honest, and the type of work is better than stability. ”

"What's the use of being honest? What is the use of stability? Honest and stable, what is said is to get a dead salary, and that's it for a lifetime, honest people can't make money. ”

"Then my brother is honest, are you still married?"

"Didn't your brother deceive me in the clouds and not notice it for a while?"

The two lowered their heads and bit their ears, and Chen Mingxuan listened to them without missing a word.

Under the pretext of going to the toilet, my mother and aunt quietly communicated in a small private room next to the toilet.

Auntie said, "How many red envelopes have you prepared?" Is there enough money? ”

"Enough. I prepared ten, each pack a hundred. ”

"Well, one hundred means satisfaction, I'm afraid that if you pack fifty, then it's all in vain. Their family, before they came, didn't say what house and car they wanted, and they mentioned it on the dinner table. ”

"Normal. There were a few blind dates, all mentioned. ”

"You said that you wanted a university degree, and I also thought about it for a long time before I said that I would introduce Fang Xiaolan here. Xiaolan looks quite iconic, and she came out of Yangcheng University, which is more than enough for Xiaoming. ”

"If you don't have a college degree, you can't find a job in the magic capital. Xiao Ming's child, it was not easy to raise his salary to such a high level, if he returned to Yangcheng, his salary would not be so much. ”

"Did you two really go to see the house?"

"Go. Without a house, who would like to? Now there are many boys and girls, and it is not easy to find a wife, and I am worried about these two brothers. ”

"My (daughter) third sister also looked at the house, the small one is not cost-effective, I want to buy one hundred and two, five or six hundred thousand."

"What's the solution, the second brother (second son) is too, he doesn't have a house, he only has a high school degree, and when people hear it, they don't want to. The last time I introduced it to my second brother, I had a primary school degree and worked in a handbag factory, and I met him, and there was no follow-up when I went back. That time it cost more than 1,000, and there were only eight people who came, and 100 people each, and they were given the fare for the journey back, plus a meal. People come all the way over, can you not have a meal? Don't pay for the journey back? It's hard! You're going to take one too. "The mother should have handed over the red envelope.

"I don't want it."

"Yes, you're a matchmaker, that's the rule."

"Then I'll take it."

"Receive."

"Let's go out, we can't keep them waiting."

——————————

The Fang family excused himself a few times, but still accepted the red envelope.

The aunt said: "Xiaolan, how about you and Xiao Ming go to the city to have fun?" ”

"Huh? I...... And him? ”

"Go ahead, go ahead, there's nothing going on today, and it just so happens that you haven't been to the city for a long time." Fang Mu exited the road.

"Go ahead." Seeing Fang Xiaolan's gaze, the sister-in-law of the Fang family and the sister of the Fang family both suggested going.

"I only drive women's motorcycles." Chen Mingxuan said.

Fang Mu said: "Then what's there, go, you two have a good exchange." ”

Seeing Chen Mingxuan's view, his mother said, "I'll go to the street with your aunt, don't worry about us." ”

"Okay then."

Chen Mingxuan said to Fang Xiaolan: "The car is there." ”

"Hmm."

——————————

The car was heading west and soon came over the curve.

Fang Xiaolan stabbed Chen Mingxuan with her hand in the back, and the latter slowed down to the side of the road and stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Fang Xiaolan squeaked: "I'm sorry." ”

"Huh?"

"I actually have a boyfriend, who I talked about in Yangcheng, but my family doesn't know."

"Oh, I see." Chen Mingxuan said, "I knew when you rejected me last night. ”

"You know?"

"I guessed it, a little hunch."

Fang Xiaolan took out her mobile phone: "I took a look just now, my red envelope is 100 yuan, and my mother's side should also be 100 yuan per person, which is 500, I will use WeChat to transfer 800 yuan to you." We ......"

"No, how can you get the red envelopes sent out on a blind date, and you also added a table of meal money."

"Then it should be returned to you, it was our side that lied to you."

"How can this be a lie, the elders are also for our good."

"Anyway, I can't take this red envelope. Actually, there is one more thing that you need help with. ”

"Cover it up for you? Say we're talking? Wait a few months and say it's not appropriate? ”

"Hmm. You collect the bills. ”

"If you really want to pay back, just give me a hundred, just give me your red envelope."

"That's not good, this red envelope is only a hundred, I usually pay for things with my mobile phone, and I don't have so much cash in the bag for you. Collect your bills! ”

"Do you have to pay me back or what?"

"If I don't return the red envelope to you, I'll think I'm here to cheat money. Actually, my mother forced me to come over early in the morning. If you don't take it, I'm upset. ”

"Then you transfer five hundred again, I have to pay for the meal, and you can't pay for my aunt's red envelope. I will not take your account of eight hundred. ”

Fang Xiaolan thought for a while, and had to agree: "Okay then." ”

"Shall I take you to the city, or shall I?"

"If you have anything to do, you go first, I'll take shelter around here, and then walk back to the town, I'll take the car back in the evening, don't go home yet."

Chen Mingxuan was helpless, accepted Fang Xiaolan's account, and nodded: "Then I'll change my way and go somewhere else." Be safe yourself. ”

"Good. Thank you. ”

Chen Mingxuan accepted the helmet Fang Xiaolan was wearing, signaled that he would go first, and rode on the fork in the road.
