Chapter 562: The Blind Date Begins
After eating, Zhang Fan returned to his room, put on his suit, dressed up extremely handsome, and got into the Wuling van of his uncle Zhang Chuyou.
The next village is called Da Niu Village, which is only separated by a big river from Xianghua Village, and it is not so far from each other.
It took about half an hour to drive before I came to Daniu Village. Today, the sun is shining, the breeze is pleasant, and everywhere is full of joy for the New Year.
When the Wuling van arrived at Daniu Village, it did not rush to the woman's house as soon as possible, but went straight to a commissary.
The size of this commissary is actually not very small, and it is not appropriate to call it a commissary, it should be called a small supermarket.
Lift open the heavy cotton curtain and step inside. I didn't come here for anything else, but to prepare some small gifts.
If you go on a blind date, you are also very particular. You need to prepare some melon seeds, peanuts and sugar. These things are for the woman.
In addition to these, you have to prepare a box of cigarettes, if there is a man in the woman's house, you have to open the cigarettes and hand them over, which is the most basic blind date etiquette.
This box of cigarettes was collected by Zhang Fan himself, and when the time came to the woman's house, he would give it when he saw the opportunity. Preparing the gifts to be bought, the Wuling van started again, drove forward for less than ten minutes, and then stopped, and after coming to a house, an old woman wearing a padded jacket and gray hair got into the car on crutches.
This is the matchmaker of this blind date. As soon as she got in the car, she praised Zhang Fan for a while, saying that she had grown so handsome after that, and she was very promising at first glance.
Hearing the end, Zhang Fan was embarrassed. Good guys, am I that good? Let's not talk about whether I have any potential, you say that I am handsome and handsome, and I have no doubt about this.
The Wuling van drove forward for less than two hundred meters before it came to a halt again. Zhang Fan shook off the glass of the car, thinking that he had arrived at his destination, but in the next second, it was an old lady wearing a green cotton jacket who walked into the car tremblingly.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Fan looked slightly stunned and a little dazed. Is this also a matchmaker? What does this mean?
On a blind date, how many matchmakers do you have to find? Sure enough, it was as he guessed. This old aunt is also a matchmaker.
After she got in the car, she also praised Zhang Fan, just like the matchmaker who just got in the car.
At this time, Zhang Chu looked at Zhang Fan with a shocked face, and he couldn't help but chuckle and explained, this is normal, I think when I first gave your cousin a blind date, there were three or four matchmakers.
Hearing this, Zhang Fan held the palm of the gift and trembled slightly. Can this still be played? I don't know how long it took, and Zhang Fan didn't know how long he had been wandering around Daniu Village before the five-sided van gradually stopped.
This time, it seems that she really arrived at the woman's home. Parking the car on the side of the road, Zhang Fan and his uncle, followed by two matchmakers, all the way into the alley.
But when he passed by the second house, there was a dog barking wildly inside, which startled Zhang Chuyou.
The woman's family is in a third household. The iron door of their house is vermilion lacquer and slightly rusty, and it looks like it has been around for some years, and the door is open and not closed, as if it is waiting for the arrival of the blind date.
Following the two matchmakers walked in, there was a squeaky sound of chickens and ducks, and Zhang Fan followed the sound to look around and found that the woman's family still had a lot of livestock.
Their yard is not large, but there are many small iron cages, and there are chickens, ducks, and even rabbits in the iron cages.
On one side of the iron cage, an electric tricycle is parked there with various fodder stacked on its pocket.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Fan's heart moved slightly, it seems that this family is not very rich. As he observed, someone from the woman's house walked out.
It was a middle-aged woman and a middle-aged man, they were dressed very plainly, their skin was potholed and a little dark, and they looked like ordinary people who often worked at home.
These two are the parents of his blind date. They smiled and welcomed Zhang Fan and the others into the house.
The house is not very big, just the size of a three-bedroom apartment. Of course, the three-bedroom apartment here is not the kind of community, but the style of the countryside, and in general, it is already very small.
Although the scale is not large, it is extremely clean and tidy, and the owner is a person who loves cleanliness and pays attention to hygiene.
Zhang Fan forced a smile on his face, and he couldn't tell whether this smile was from the heart, but he felt a kind of embarrassment on his face.
He took out the box of cigarettes from his pocket, tore open the package, and handed it to the middle-aged man. Because he doesn't usually smoke, he doesn't know much about the styles of cigarettes, and he is not short of money for the time being, so he casually asked for a box of the most expensive Huazi.
It cost him about 70 bucks. The price is ok, and for him, it's not too expensive. It was when he bought it that his uncle criticized him, and there was no need to buy such expensive cigarettes.
But he bought it anyway. Seeing the middle-aged man who handed over Huazi, his expression was obviously confused, he didn't expect Zhang Fan to buy such an expensive Huazi, the smile on his face became even brighter, and he hurriedly cast a look at the middle-aged woman next to him.
Seeing this look, the middle-aged woman suddenly had a sense of understanding, and then immediately walked into the back room, wanting to call out the girl who was on a blind date with Zhang Fan.
But after shouting twice, the girl still had no intention of coming out. In this regard, the middle-aged woman looked embarrassed and hurriedly said, her daughter is thin-skinned and afraid of life, don't care about this.
Then he took Zhang Fan into the back room and asked him to talk to his daughter alone. Although he was speechless, Zhang Fan thought about it, after all, it was normal for a girl to be thin-skinned, so he walked in hard.
Entering the room, a girl dressed in a flower branch, with a ball head, a beautiful and delicate face, wearing a black down jacket, was crossing Erlang's legs, bowing her head and playing with her mobile phone, I don't know who she was chatting with.
As Zhang Fan walked in, the girl just raised her head and squinted, but didn't say anything, her attitude seemed very cold, full of arrogance, giving people a cold feeling of rejection thousands of miles away.
"Hello!" Zhang Fan said hello symbolically out of politeness.
"You're good!" The girl did not look up, her words with a hint of impatience. Seeing that the other party was so cold, Zhang Fan didn't know what to say for a while.
Blind date or something, he has no experience at all, he just thinks that the girl in front of him is not very polite.
It stands to reason that when talking to someone, you should keep your head up, instead of keeping your head down and playing with your mobile phone.
"I heard them say, you're a graduate student? The girls who can be admitted to graduate school now are amazing! Zhang Fan didn't know what to say, so he could only praise the girl from the side.
After all, no one doesn't like to listen to good things, especially girls.
"It's alright! My classmates have all been admitted to graduate school! It's not a big deal! The girl still lowered her head and didn't look at Zhang Fan, her expression was joyless and carefree, and she couldn't see her thoughts.
"By the way, what is your education?" The girl asked casually.
"I'm an undergraduate, huh...... Two copies! Zhang Fan swallowed and said.
"Oh!" The girl sighed softly, but her brows furrowed abruptly, as if she was not very satisfied with Zhang Fan's academic qualifications.
"How many brothers do you have?" The girl continued, still not looking up.
"I'm the only child in my family, and I live in my uncle's house now!" Zhang Fan replied truthfully. He didn't really want to go on a blind date, he just came over to deal with errands, and it didn't make sense to hide it, so it was better to say it generously.
