Chapter 33: Go on a blind date
Just as the rain was falling, Ma Zhenxing dragged his tired body out of the rice noodle shop and into the overly quiet street.
Linyue Town is still so dilapidated, and even the road that was rotten a few years ago has not been repaired.
Ma Zhenxing swept the streets of Linyue Town with a disappointed gaze, shook his head, and prepared to walk through the streets that were not very far away and stay at the hostel.
Of course, he is not unrelated in Linyue Town, his second grandfather was in the business of selling pork in the town, and built a five-story building by himself.
But the second grandfather has two sons, both of whom are married, and the two cousins are divided into two floors each, and the second grandfather and the second grandmother are crowded on the first floor, of course he is embarrassed to disturb. Of course, there is another reason, he thinks that the second grandfather's house is very dirty. The place where the pork is sold in front is clean, but the back is dirty. The old dirt seems to have accumulated for decades.
Ma Zhenxing dragged his suitcase and finally arrived downstairs of the hostel.
It is said to be a hostel, but it is actually a guest house. There is no plaque, it is called a guest house. The guest house is much cleaner than the second grandfather's house. The accommodation fee is 58 yuan a night, and you can also have a simple toilet and hot water bath.
Ma Zhenxing has come back from other places over the years and has lived there several times.
He went upstairs and saw the bald boss sitting in the front desk guarding a nineteen-inch TV. The TV is still showing the anti-Japanese war drama that kills Japanese devils.
The boss watched it with relish, and almost didn't notice the appearance of Ma Zhenxing.
"Boss, open a room." Ma Zhenxing took out his ID card and fifty-eight yuan in change.
"Eighty-eight blocks a room, 206 rooms." The boss took out his reading glasses and looked at Ma Zhenxing's ID card carefully.
Ma Zhenxing was taken aback: "Isn't it fifty-eight yuan?" Why has the price increased? ”
"After the New Year's price, there is only the last room left, you can't live there?" The boss didn't bother to pay attention to him and threw his ID card back to Ma Zhenxing.
Ma Zhenxing gritted his teeth: "Stop!" ”
The boss issued a receipt and said, "If you are not satisfied, you can go to the newly opened homestay." It's a good place there. It's expensive, more than 300 a night. ”
Ma Zhenxing laughed, eighty-eight is too expensive, and he still lives for more than three hundred? Hey, is there anyone living in such an expensive B&B in Linyue Town? What rich person can't think of investing in a homestay in Linyue Town?
Room 206 of 88 yuan is small and dilapidated, and the floor is still concrete, which is not worth 88 yuan.
But luckily, hot water is available.
Ma Zhenxing took a shower, and when he came out, his mobile phone was squeaking.
It's a call from my mother. Ever since she knew that he was going home, her mother had been worried about him, for fear that he would miss any possible blind date.
Ma Zhenxing answered the phone a little impatiently: "Mom, I've already arrived in Linyue Town, and I'll be back soon, don't worry." ”
"I'm not worried, I'm worried that I don't have a grandchild to hold." Ma's mother was louder than her son's.
Ma Zhenxing was silent.
"You're staying in a hostel? Your second grandfather has prepared a room for you, but you didn't go to live there? ”
"I'm comfortable staying in a hostel." Ma Zhenxing brushed his hair.
"Let's stay, but Ming'er, you have to go to your second grandfather's house, your second grandmother said that she has a girl on hand, just waiting for you to come back and see each other."
Ma Zhenxing was unhappy: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking to others again?" I'm on the rise in my career right now, and I don't want to be in a relationship. "The main thing is that the little girls now are too good at spending money, and he is shy in his pockets.
Mother Ma was even more unhappy: "You are twenty-nine, and you are not in love or married." What kind of career, start a family first and then start a business! Besides, don't you have to worry about how hard it is to find a single little girl now? Your second grandmother relied on her connections to sell pork in the town, so she finally found one. The conditions of the little girl's house are strangely good, she is good-looking, and she works seriously in the town. ”
Ma Zhenxing threw his mobile phone on the bed, and Ma Mu kept talking.
It's a good thing to say, start a family first and then start a business, but you don't have the money to hold a wedding, buy a car or a house, is the girl willing? Others can still fight for their father, but his father is an old farmer, and he can't buy half a fan of pork from beginning to end in a year.
Besides, he himself is selfish. He really doesn't want to marry a wife who spends a lot of money and marries a wife whose family economic conditions are not very good, and helps each other out of poverty. He looked coldly at how his parents had gotten along for more than 20 years, and he didn't want to continue to live like that.
"Okay, you have to remember to buy a gift tomorrow." Mother Ma chattered for a while, and finally hung up the phone.
Of course, he can't help but go, but he just goes, regardless of the following.
Lin Tingting turned on the electric heater, held a comb, and carefully combed her green hair. Her mother, Jiang Yuefen, walked in, glanced at her green hair with disgust, and said, "I'm going on a blind date tomorrow." There was a young man who came back from outside, and the condition was not bad. ”
Lin Tingting's hand holding the comb was about to fall off: "Mom, what did you say?" I heard you right! ”
Jiang Yuefen snorted: "You are not old, and your ears are not deaf, how could you hear it wrong?" ”
Lin Tingting pointed to her nose: "Mom, I'm only twenty-two, you just let me go on a blind date?" ”
"Twenty-two, you know you're twenty-two. When I was twenty-two, you were full moon. ”
Lin Tingting smiled: "Isn't this a different era, when you are twenty-two, you have to get married in a hurry, as if you are afraid that you will not be able to get married." When we are twenty-two, we must be anxious to see what the world looks like, and how can we get married. ”
Jiang Yuefen put her hands in front of her chest and looked at her daughter: "As far as the world you watch on the computer every day, it's better not to see it." The things you do are not tired of scraping, and only rich people can play them. ”
"I didn't use your money. I bought it all with my own salary. ”
"You're embarrassed to say it. The daughters of other people's families all earn money to build houses and decorate their homes for their parents. You're good, you've earned money, and it's all on yourself! ”
As soon as Jiang Yuefen thought of this, she was so angry.
Lin Tingting was also unhappy: "I'm not a slave born by you to be a cow and a horse, why should I earn money to decorate your house, I will marry in the future, and I can't live!" ”
Jiang Yuefen was so angry that she raised her hand to hit her: "My parents gave birth to you, and I can't ask you to do something for the family!" ”
Lin Tingting rose to the challenge, holding her small breasts, and her green hair trembled: "Mom, you can't beat me, it's illegal to beat your children!" ”
The mother and daughter are tense.
Lin Hai walked in and grinned: "What's wrong with you two girls?" ”
In fact, you really can't blame Lin Tingting, Lin Hai's own hair is dyed with grandma gray. If there is a father, there must be a daughter, and the fathers are so fashionable, Lin Tingting is naturally also exposed to it.
Jiang Yuefen didn't bother to look at her husband: "Ask your daughter to go on a blind date, she still doesn't want to." ”
"Go. Isn't it just a blind date, eating and drinking, and getting red envelopes. "Lin Hai's angle of persuasion is really different.
Jiang Yuefen couldn't say.
However, Lin Hai persuaded her, and Lin Tingting was willing: "Yes, last time my little sister said that she got a red envelope of 200 yuan on a blind date!" I can dye my hair again for 200 yuan! ”
Anyway, my daughter is finally willing to go on a blind date.
"I can't wear your weird clothes!" Jiang Yuefen told her daughter, "Wear a hat tomorrow and cover your green hair." ”
But Lin Tingting was unwilling: "If you love someone, you have to accept all of her." I can't wear a hat every day. ”
Lin Hai also agreed: "Tingting is right. Maybe that person just likes Tingting like this. ”
Jiang Yuefen felt that she could no longer communicate with the father and daughter. Forget it, her daughter was born by herself, and she can only accept her fate if she smashes her hands.
If Lin Tingting is like this, don't marry someone else's family and make others angry.
