Chapter 2 Love at First Sight

My grandfather passed away not long ago, and I inherited all the property. He left me three shops, a three-bed shop and a small one, all of which are single-family houses.

I'm just going to take over the yard and pavement today, how about you come with me and we'll have a good chat."

"Isn't this good? I'm on a blind date, and the matchmaker and I are all waiting for my reply."

Zhou Jianguo's heart was moved, but he had to be restrained.

"What's the point? You're on a blind date, not an engagement. Besides, you haven't replied yet!"

"Not yet. How can I reply in person?"

"That's okay. I'm single too. I won't harm you. Come on, I'll take you to see Sanjin's big courtyard. Let me tell you, Hanlin bachelors lived in that courtyard before. It's a place where only dignitaries can enter.

"

She led them all the way to the large courtyard with three entrances, took out the key and opened the door. I had been to this place in my memory, and it still felt good when I looked at it.

This compound is quite large and has not been renovated. It was built entirely in accordance with national standards and is well protected.

"How about it, I didn't lie to you."

Zhang Qian felt the benefits of Qian's ability, it was so simple and unpretentious.

"Wow, this yard is so nice!"

Looking at the spacious three-entry courtyard in front of me, there are dozens of rooms, and comparing it to one room in the Xue family, is there any need to think about it?

"No, this is all mine.

You just arrived in the city today and haven't gone shopping yet. Let me tell you, Wangfu Street is very lively and sells everything. I will take you to buy a new set of clothes that will be worthy of you."

"It's just that this is not good!"

"What's wrong with this? I'm not married and you're not married either. To be honest, I'm attracted to you.

From now on, if you follow me and enjoy the hot and spicy food, my parents will be gone, so I will bring your parents over and live a good life together."

"Look, I'm just a country boy with a rural registered permanent residence."

Zhou Jianguo felt that happiness came too suddenly and was a bit too dreamy.

"This is no big deal, I don't lack accommodation, food and drink, it doesn't matter whether you are from the city or not.

Besides, you’re a city dweller now that you’re married. Let’s go buy some clothes first and then a pair of shoes. The calfskin ones are particularly good.”

Fortunately, Zhang Qian still has some financial resources, and the property left by her grandfather serves as a strong backing.

Otherwise, I really wouldn’t dare take people to buy ready-made clothes, especially winter clothes. They are so expensive, starting at eighteen yuan a set, and the best ones cost more than thirty.

Not to mention leather shoes, they are all very expensive.

Not long after, it was completely new. The old cotton-padded jacket had been put in the bag. Now it was replaced by a cotton-padded coat worth more than 30 yuan, and a pair of calfskin shoes.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Jianguo said: "Okay, it's getting late. I have to go home. My parents are waiting. I also have to go back and explain the matter clearly. When you come to my house to propose marriage, I will officially come to your door.

.”

"Okay, I'll go to the factory to ask for leave tomorrow. You can come back the day after tomorrow and go to my grandpa's compound. I'll give you the key first.

When you come, I will take you to buy a bicycle, and then I will go to your house to propose marriage, otherwise I wouldn’t know the way.”

"No problem, I will listen to you."

"Okay, let me take you to the station now."

Zhang Qian quickly took the man to the bus station and gave him five yuan.

Zhou Jianguo held five yuan in his hand. This was the first time in his life that he had so much money.

"Okay, you go back and tell our parents clearly, and let's live a good life from now on."

"Okay, I will listen to you."

Zhou Jianguo happily got on the bus and waved goodbye to Zhang Qian.

Humming a little tune, she went all the way to the small courtyard left by her grandfather. There were only seven rooms in this courtyard, which was a bit remote. It was originally used to hide things.

When she got to the yard, she found some tools and dug under the big locust tree in the yard. She dug three feet into the ground and dug out three large boxes.

Her grandfather was a layman, and what he left behind was not antique calligraphy and paintings, but real gold and silver treasures.

But my grandpa was also very good at making things when he was still alive. Only half of one of the boxes was left, so there was no need to think about exchanging it for money.

But the two and a half boxes of gold and silver jewelry that she got for free were enough for her to squander. If she didn't say anything, she quickly put them away and slowly sorted them out when she had time.

But now the problem comes, she has no cash left.

After working as an apprentice for three years and working as a regular worker for half a year, I was frugal and could only save less than 200 yuan. This was because I was alone.

However, today I spent almost 60 yuan to buy clothes and shoes for Zhou Jianguo, and I also gave him 5 yuan as a lip service.

There’s still a lot left to do to buy a bicycle!

Not to mention the cost of proposing and getting married later.

But this is not a big deal. She is guarding the market and two and a half boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, so she still has money to spend.

Well, I originally wanted to go to a restaurant, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. There are a lot of cooked food in the reward market, and I can drink it when I get home. It’s better to save some cash.

Immediately, Zhang Qian locked the door. As soon as she returned to the house, she heard wailing from next door. Did she know that her blind date had run away?

"Damn it, everyone is here to judge. It was clearly agreed that we would bring someone on a blind date, but then the person ran away after dinner. How can there be any sense in talking about matchmaking like this?"

In the middle courtyard, a middle-aged woman was being held back to prevent her from leaving. This person was obviously not the owner of the blind date, but the matchmaker.

All the residents in the courtyard were watching in the middle courtyard.

"Hey, I said this is not called running away. That man must not have taken a fancy to your Xiaoling."

Liang Jinxiu was gloating at the sidelines, but suddenly his father slapped him on the head: "Go away, don't talk nonsense here."

"Lao Liang, you guys need to help with the review. If Lao Xue is gone, my Xue family will be easier to bully. It's a blessing for my family to like a boy from the countryside. Even if he doesn't know how to be grateful,

He actually ran away without saying a word. This is a slap in the face of my Xue family."

She had to make a fuss. This matter was embarrassing and embarrassing. She couldn't let people look down upon the old Xue family.

Liang Songshan stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Maybe the man is delayed by something. I think it's better to ask the matchmaker to find out more about it."

Liang Jinxiu muttered: "That's right, you're just on a blind date, and you haven't decided yet, so you can run away or not."

Mrs. Xue said dissatisfiedly: "I've been looking for you all afternoon. If anything happens, I don't know how to say hello before I leave. Sister-in-law Wang, I must give an explanation for this matter."

Not to be outdone, the matchmaker said, "What else can I say? I must not have set my sights on your family. Just think of this as a waste of my work and I won't let your Xue family pay for the travel expenses."

"What do you mean you are working in vain? My Xue family also comes in for a meal. This is meat and it is not cheap."

I definitely can't agree to this. Her Xue family will suffer a loss.

"What's wrong with the food? It's just a small plate of meat. You ate the most. No one else touched their chopsticks, but I was watching."

Sister-in-law Wang broke away, and immediately she was all fired up. As a matchmaker, she is a good talker, and she is no weaker than anyone in a quarrel.
