Chapter 118: Blind Date
Ye Dong put on new clothes, not only with belts on his pants, but also with leather shoes on his feet.
You must know that in this era in the village, few people can afford to wear leather shoes.
He kept scurrying around inside and outside the house, and he was terrible.
Ye Guosheng and Zhao Qiufen looked at their son's appearance of five people and six people, and they were also looking forward to today's blind date.
In this way, the major concerns of their husband and wife can be regarded as letting go.
"Xiao Dong, come here."
Ye Ning waited until Ye Dong was almost done, and called him in front of him.
Today, Mrs. Wang is going to bring two girls over, one of these two girls is one year younger than Ye Dong, and the other is two years older than Ye Dong.
They weren't from the surrounding villages, they all lived on the other side of the mountain.
This time, Mrs. Wang obviously took a lot of effort, knowing that Ye Dong's reputation was not good, so she deliberately went to a distant place to look for candidates.
"Wait a while for people to come, remember to speak more steadily, and don't brag if you can."
Ye Ning tried his best to advise Ye Dong.
"Sister, don't worry, I know how to contact girls."
Ye Dong looked completely confident.
Ye Ning glanced at his parents helplessly.
At this time, the voice of the princess sounded in the courtyard.
Here it comes!
Mrs. Wang was followed by a girl, who was about 1.58 meters tall, a little thin, but better than fair skin. Although the appearance is not very beautiful, it gives people a sense of pity and disgust.
Ye Dong couldn't take away the first glance when he saw the girl.
Ye Ning saw all his reactions.
Zhao Qiufen greeted Mrs. Wang and the girl into the house.
"Her name is Liu Jingjing, and she is 19 years old this year. There are three younger brothers in the family, and both parents are alive, so she is such a daughter. ”
Mrs. Wang took the initiative to introduce the girl's situation, and Ye Guosheng and Zhao Qiufen also listened very carefully.
"Uncle is good, aunt is good, sister is good."
Liu Jingjing greeted them obediently at the signal of Mrs. Wang.
When he finally faced Ye Dong, he was even more shy and didn't even dare to raise his head.
Mrs. Wang had long been surprised by such a situation, and urged Ye Dong to take Liu Jingjing to the next room to contact alone.
Ye Dong smiled and bent his eyes, he couldn't wait for a long time.
After the two of them went out, Mrs. Wang said to Ye Guosheng and Zhao Qiufen: "Ye Dong's situation is known to the girl's family, and they don't mind, but they have requirements for the bride price." ”
In the end, Mrs. Wang deliberately looked at Ye Ning.
There are some things that everyone knows, so naturally there is no need to hide them.
Ye Ning said: "Aunt Wang, you say it, let's listen." ”
"The girl's family said that she would ask for a bride price of 100 yuan, 30 catties of pork, and 50 catties of white noodles."
The conditions that Mrs. Wang said made Ye Guosheng and Zhao Qiufen shocked.
There is a "market" for marrying daughters-in-law in the village, and the general bride price is 66 yuan, and the maximum amount for girls with good conditions is 88 yuan. But Liu Jingjing's house costs 100 when she opens her mouth, and all those things add up to dozens of extra yuan.
"Isn't it more?" Sure enough, Ye Guosheng directly questioned it.
Mrs. Wang didn't mind, and even chimed in and said: "It's indeed more, but who made our family's Ye Dong have such conditions." ”
They should also understand that if it weren't for money, who would want to marry their daughter to a kid like Ye Dong?
Ye Guosheng was speechless in an instant.
can only blame his son for not being angry.
Mrs. Wang always paid attention to Ye Ning's face, knowing that she had the final say in this matter now.
Sure enough, Ye Ning didn't put forward much of an opinion, but just said lightly: "Let Xiao Dong contact him first, and see if the two of them have fate." ”
Her words undoubtedly reassured Mrs. Wang, so that Mrs. Wang's smile did not let go.
Ye Dong and Liu Jingjing chatted alone for about half an hour before they walked out.
Even Ye Ning could see Ye Dong's satisfaction with Liu Jingjing.
However, there was another one behind, so Ye Ning didn't immediately ask Ye Dong's opinion.
Mrs. Wang sent Liu Jingjing away, and soon received the second girl on a blind date at the entrance of the village.
When this girl was brought to the Ye family, the Ye family was all stunned the moment they saw her.
It's completely different from Liu Jingjing. The girl in front of her is at least 1.7 meters tall, although she is not fat, but she looks very strong.
The girl had a smile on her face, and her skin was the color of wheat that had been sunburned all year round. And because of the relationship that is bigger than Ye Dong, standing with Ye Dong is completely the posture of the eldest sister.
Ye Dong didn't have the smile he had when he faced Liu Jingjing, his shriveled face was tense, and he almost wrote the three words of dislike on his head.
"My name is Kong Jia, good uncle and aunt."
Before Mrs. Wang even spoke, Kong Jia had already introduced herself generously.
However, when she saw Ye Dong, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, she immediately frowned.
"You are Ye Dong?"
"I am, what's wrong?" Ye Dong responded in a weird way, and he didn't plan to behave well in front of the other party at all.
Anyway, he already has Liu Jingjing now.
His attitude made everyone understand, and Ye Guosheng and Zhao Qiufen were even more helpless.
In fact, compared with the thin Liu Jingjing, they felt that Kong Jia was more suitable for life.
But if their son doesn't like it, they can't help it.
Just when Mrs. Wang wanted to open her mouth to relieve the embarrassment, Kong Jia continued: "Can you pick up a flat burden like this? ”
The eyes that looked at Ye Dong were full of doubts.
"Who do you look down upon? I'm a man! Ye Dong felt that he had been provoked and retorted loudly.
Kong Jia scoffed, "Who wouldn't brag?" I don't believe it! ”
Ye Dong was stimulated, and he really rolled his arms, rolled up his sleeves, and picked up his flat shoulder to prepare to fetch water.
Not to mention that Mrs. Wang didn't expect such a scene, even Ye Ning didn't expect it.
But Kong Jia was still confronting him, "I'll go with you to see if you can do it." But don't be afraid, if you can't hold on halfway, I can help you carry it back! ”
Ye Dong's face turned red, and there was only one thought left in his heart, that is, he must not let a woman be despised.
In this way, he carried the flat burden, Kong Jia followed behind, and the two walked out together.
"Heh, hehe." Mrs. Wang smiled dryly, she has been a matchmaker for so many years, and this is the first time she has encountered such a situation.
Ye Ning looked at the figures of the two leaving, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Aunt Wang, what conditions do you want in Kong Jia's family?"
Mrs. Wang, Ye Guosheng, and Zhao Qiufen all looked at her.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ye Dong is looking at Liu Jingjing, and there is no need to talk about Kong Jia's side at all.
