After not having a good meal at Wangxian Restaurant, Lin Yun and Zhao Gang casually found a small stall to eat and talk.
Wang Zhan had already fired the purchasing staff, so the dishes that Lin Yun had pulled over were naturally once again accepted by Wangxianlou. After having dinner with Zhao Gang and saying goodbye, Lin Yun pulled the empty cart and was thinking about going to his master's place to take a look.
Just then, he received a call from his mother.
'What? Let me set up a blind date? The person is in the county town right now?' Lin Yun was speechless.
In the morning, when he left home, his parents told him that they wanted to find him a wife. But how could they have found someone for him so soon?
'Mom, I have a girlfriend. I don't need to find a wife,' Lin Yun said helplessly, and told his parents that he had a girlfriend.
'You have a girlfriend? How is she? Where is she from?' Lin Yun's mother asked anxiously on the other end of the line when she heard that Lin Yun had a girlfriend.
'She's very nice. Her family is from Jiangnan,' Lin Yun said.
Hearing Lin Yun's words, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and it was not clear whether Lin's parents were discussing something.
Lin Yun waited for about a minute, and then Lin's mother said again on the other end of the phone, 'Yunzi, I've already told someone else that you're going on a blind date. I'm on good terms with the girl's aunt. It wouldn't be good if you didn't go. How about this: You go and meet the person, but don't mention that you have a girlfriend. I heard that the girl has very good conditions, and she might not like you!'
'Okay, I'll go and see. Where is she now and what's her phone number?' Lin Yun said with a bitter smile.
He had already decided that when he met the girl, he would find an opportunity to tell her that he already had a girlfriend.
Otherwise, what if she really liked him?
Lin Yun scratched his head. It seemed that his appearance was not bad, right?
Why did his mother say that many girls would not like him?
Back in those days, he was very popular with girls at school...
Soon, his mother reported an address and a string of mobile phone numbers.
Lin Yun knew the address, turned the head of the car, and started walking in that direction.
On the way, Lin Yun dialed the mobile phone number.
'You must be Lin Yun, right? I'm currently...' The girl's voice was not bad, and she spoke very directly.
'Well, I'm heading that way,' Lin Yun said.
'Okay, then hurry up, I'll wait for you here,' the other person said, and hung up the phone.
Lin Yun was speechless. He didn't expect the other party to be so decisive. He had planned to see if he could sort this out over the phone, but now it seemed that he would have to make a trip.
...
Lin Yun's home.
'Since Yun has a girlfriend, why are you still letting him go on a blind date?' Lin's father asked, puzzled.
'The other person is from Jiangnan, which is at least 1,000 kilometres away from here. How can you expect Yun to get married at such a distance? I've heard that the bride price is very high in the south, and with such a long distance... We don't even know anything about the girl. Getting married is a big problem, and visiting relatives in the future will also be a big problem. Going back and forth will probably cost a lot of energy and money. Yun is young and doesn't want to think about it so much, but we as parents can't not think about it for him!'
Lin's mother patted Lin's father's arm and said impatiently:
'Then why didn't you make it clear to him just now...' Lin's father was speechless.
'If I had told him just now, would he still be willing to go on a blind date?' Lin's mother gave Lin's father a look and said.
'Okay...' Lin's father thought for a moment and sighed slightly.
It was good for Lin Yun to meet the girl in the county.
A girl from Jiangnan, such a long distance, is really not very realistic.
...
Li Yan was in a bad mood.
She was shopping with her best friend today, who was getting married in two days.
It was quite busy.
At this time, her aunt called her and asked her to meet a boy.
The meaning, which she naturally understood, was a blind date.
She was going to decline, but her aunt said that the other party was in the county town, and it would only take a short time to meet.
Moreover, the boy's mother was on good terms with her, so it would be rude to cancel.
The boy was also quite well-off, working in Shenzhen and earning tens of thousands of yuan a month, so he might be the one.
However, after waiting for twenty minutes, she still hadn't seen anyone.
'Yan Yan, don't worry, the other person might be on their way. It's the New Year, and there are a lot of people on the streets, so they might be stuck in traffic!' Her best friend Zhang Hui was unconcerned and tried to comfort her with a smile.
'But you still have to go shopping!' Li Yan said helplessly.
'I've bought most of the things I need these past few days. It's almost time for dinner, so when he arrives, we can go eat, and you can talk about your business. What's my business compared to your life's work?' Zhang Hui laughed.
'What do you mean my life's work? It's just a blind date, don't make it sound so serious!' Li Yan rolled her eyes and said.
'If you like him, isn't that your life's work?' Zhang Hui laughed, covering her mouth.
'Working in Shenzhen, with a monthly salary of tens of thousands of yuan, is not bad. I wonder what kind of work he does,' Zhang Hui said curiously after a pause.
'No matter how good it is, it can't be as good as the one you found. Not to mention that he is a civil servant, he also has a shopfront building at home, and the rent alone is more than 100,000 yuan a year!' Li Yan shook her head.
Her tone was full of envy.
What's the big deal about a monthly salary of tens of thousands of yuan? It's only 120,000 yuan a year, and it's not even as high as the rent for her best friend's partner's home.
What's more, the other person works outside the home, but in the future, they can't keep working outside the home forever. Once they come home, or if their job changes, how much will they earn?
It's nowhere near as stable as her best friend's partner.
These past few days, she's been shopping with her best friend, and a lot of the things they bought weren't cheap. In a place like Xianyuan County, they're definitely very impressive, and she's very envious of her best friend for finding such a good partner.
She heard that just the bride price was over a hundred thousand yuan, which is quite a lot in Xianyuan County.
Just then, Li Yan's phone rang.
Seeing the displayed phone number, Li Yan subconsciously looked up and looked around.
She saw a young man pulling an empty bicycle over.
This young man was naturally Lin Yun.
'You must be Li Yan...' Seeing Li Yan's phone ring and looking up and around, Lin Yun guessed that this girl might be his blind date. He pulled the empty bicycle over and asked with a smile.
Seeing Lin Yun walking towards them, Li Yan's pretty face turned black.
This was her blind date?
Pulling a cart over?
Well! The other person was so late, I guess there was really traffic on the way!
But it was a cart! A cart, a very primitive means of transport!
Looking at the strange looks from the many people around them, Li Yan really wanted to throw herself to the ground or turn around and walk away, pretending not to know the other person.
However, her upbringing prevented her from doing so.
'I'm Li Yan, and you're Lin Yun?' Li Yan took a deep breath and asked.
'I'm Lin Yun!' Lin Yun nodded.
'Let's go eat first!' Li Yan turned around and walked away, as if she was afraid of being embarrassed walking with Lin Yun, and walked very quickly.
Lin Yun saw this and could only helplessly pull the cart and follow.
Seeing this, Zhang Hui blinked.
She didn't expect that Li Yan's blind date would be pulling a cart.
However, the other person was quite handsome and had a good temperament.
Unlike Li Yan, who felt very embarrassed at first sight, perhaps it had nothing to do with her, Zhang Hui took a closer look.
