The phone rang once and someone immediately answered it. My father's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiaohui, why didn't you answer the phone? I asked your third uncle to go to the construction site where you used to work to look for you, but they said you weren't there.
There it is.”
My heart skipped a beat. My family was so anxious to find me and even sent someone to come to my door. Could it be that something happened at home? When I thought about my mother’s health, I suddenly felt the world around me spinning. I asked in a trembling voice.
Said: "Mom... nothing happened, right?"
Dad smiled and said: "What can be the problem? I heard that you have performed well at work recently and got good results. She is in much better spirits now than before."
When I learned that my mother was fine, my anxious heart finally dropped, but I still felt uneasy, so I said into the phone: "Then let my mother talk to me."
Then, I heard the other end of the phone say: "Shui Qin, your son wants to talk to you."
My mother should be standing next to the phone at this time. In less than a second, my mother's familiar voice came from the receiver: "Xiaohui, have you met your third uncle?"
My mother's voice sounded normal and there shouldn't be anything wrong with it. I couldn't help but shed tears through the receiver. What I have been most worried about these years when I am away from home is my mother's health.
"Which third uncle?" I asked.
My father is an only son, so all my third uncles are cousins, so if I just say third uncle without a name in front of it, I really don’t know which one I’m talking about.
"Your third uncle Qingfeng, isn't he also in Guangzhou? Who else could he be?"
When I heard this name, I felt disgusted, "Why did he come to me?"
When I first came to Guangzhou, I thought that their family was relatively close to ours. My grandfather and his father shared the same grandfather. I thought that since we were in the same city, we should move around frequently, so I took my first salary.
After that, I bought a few kilograms of fruit and fed him
I went to our house. As it turned out, my whole family was neither cold nor indifferent to me, especially my third aunt, who saw that I was poorly dressed, and said something as unpleasant as possible. I was so angry that I only sat there for ten minutes before leaving.
After that, I never had any contact with him again, and I even deleted his phone number.
My mother chuckled and said, "Aren't you 24 this year? You are also at the age where you should talk about marriage. Your third aunt has found a partner for you over there. She just called and said that she made an appointment to meet today.
I won’t tell you any more, please call your third uncle back quickly.”
I still feel disgusted when I think about their faces back then. These two people were trying to find a partner for me. What good could they do?
"I'm not going." I said.
"You brat, you can't go. You're already so old. If you're not in a hurry, you're still in a hurry to hold your grandson."
I said patiently: "Mom, if you want to marry a wife and have a grandson as soon as possible, I can think of a way on my own. If you ask me to go on a blind date, I won't go. It's quite embarrassing when I think about it."
I have never told my family what my uncle and aunt did to me at that time, and of course I don’t want to talk about it now, so I can only use these words to evade it.
"It's impossible not to go. Your third aunt has already promised you that even if there are ten thousand people who don't want to go, you have to go for me, otherwise I won't break your legs when you come back." As my mother said, there was a sudden burst of violent excitement.
Coughing, "Oh, my waist hurts me to death. Why do you think my life is so miserable? My son who is in pain is still disobedient."
Cold sweat breaks out on my forehead. What does this cough have to do with back pain? My mother has been honest all her life and will not even lie in front of her son. However, my mother has resorted to such methods. I am afraid if I don’t agree again.
She would be really angry. In order not to make my mother angry, I had to bite the bullet and reluctantly agreed.
I guessed that the unknown number belonged to Uncle San, so I called back immediately after hanging up the phone.
As soon as the call was connected, I heard a loud curse from the other party: "Xiaohui, where are you, you bastard? I've been looking for you for a long time..."
I immediately interrupted him and said, "Uncle, just tell me where you are now and I'll be there right away."
nndIn order to make my mother happy, I endured it.
The third uncle quickly gave an address, and then said: "Get over here quickly, this girl is impatient to wait."
The address mentioned by the third uncle is not far from where we live now. If you take a taxi, it will take more than ten minutes. After hanging up the phone, I didn’t have time to say hello to Lin Jingran. I took my keys and wallet and went out. I went to the downstairs of the community and called.
The car sped directly to the date spot.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth, and it only took a quarter of an hour to arrive at the agreed-upon location. It was a relatively famous restaurant. I used to hear the foreman brag about how much he spent on a meal at a place like this.
It's less than 10,000 yuan, but I never dare to go in anyway.
As soon as I got off the bus after paying, I saw my third uncle and my third aunt waiting anxiously at the door of the hotel. Their faces looked like there was a fire at home. When I appeared, my third uncle immediately rushed forward and held me back.
My hand: "My dear nephew, why don't you take your phone with you when you go out?"
I bit the bullet and said, "Sorry, I forgot."
When the third aunt saw me wearing a T-shirt and large pants with a pair of flip-flops on my feet, she couldn't help but frown but hid her disgust behind a smile; "Oh, why are you dressed like this?"
Me: "You guys were in a hurry, so you didn't have time to change. Besides, I only have these clothes."
"How about we hurry up and get Xiaohui dressed up nearby?" The third aunt began to ask the third uncle's opinion.
Third uncle grabbed my arm and pulled me inside. As he walked, he said, "It's too late. Besides, I don't care about this."
When I entered the door, I looked at the expressions of the two security guards at the door. I guess if someone hadn't dragged me, they would have politely asked me out immediately.
The third uncle took me directly to the door of a private room called Shangri-La and said, "The people are inside. You can go in by yourself. I won't accompany you if I have something else to do."
I said, "Hey, you just left like this."
The third uncle patted me on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous. Just answer whatever they ask after you enter. Whatever the conditions of our family are, the other party said that the main thing they care about is character, and they don't care about the well-matched family status."
I secretly hate myself for leaving like this. Then I have to pay for this meal. Why are you fooling me like this? A meal here costs several thousand, which is enough for me and Lin Jingran to scream.
Takeout for a month.
But now that I'm here, I can't back down, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my mother when I go back. Thinking of this, I directly opened the door and went in.
There were only two people sitting in the huge and splendid box, an elegant woman and a fashionably dressed young girl, definitely no more than 25 years old.
When I saw the girl's face, I couldn't help but be surprised. This girl is so beautiful. She has a nose and eyes, and the mother and daughter are also very high-end in their clothes. I was pounding in my heart.
Can such a beautiful girl from a good family really fall in love with me?
When she saw me coming in, the woman immediately showed an unhappy expression: "You must be Xiao Chen's nephew. You were 30 minutes late for the first meeting. Young people nowadays really have no sense of time."
I was about to explain, but I saw the girl smiled slightly and said, "I think it's good. Being able to dress like this and go out on a blind date can at least show that he is really as honest as Uncle Chen said."
The woman glanced at the girl and said calmly: "Since my daughter has excused you, let's not talk about this matter. Xiao Chen has already told me about your family's situation in advance. It's not a problem.
Now I just ask you, what do you like about my daughter?"
I was extremely embarrassed, the question was too direct, and I had just come in and before I even had time to sit down, I asked such a question, how much does this woman want to marry off her daughter?
"Auntie, I...I don't seem to know your daughter's name yet."
The woman smiled slightly and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce you. My daughter's name is Liu Liya. You can call her Liya, or you can call me Mrs. Liu." Seeing that I was still standing, she immediately motioned for me to sit down.
Next, "Xiao Chen, please sit down first and let's chat while we eat."
Mrs. Liu made eye contact with her daughter, and then said, "Our Liu family has some wealth in Guangzhou. Her father now runs a company. I have already thought about it. Even if you get married in the future, you don't have to live with us."
I will pay for you to buy another house."
My heart was filled with excitement. Damn it, we just met and we started talking about marriage, and even gave her a house as a dowry. Is my charm really that great? Why didn't I see this myself?
"By the way, after talking so much, you haven't said anything about your impression of my daughter."
"She...is quite...beautiful."
Hearing me complimenting her on her beauty, Liu Liya bowed her head shyly.
Mrs. Liu nodded with satisfaction: "You are very discerning."
I'm a little speechless. This compliment is a bit fruitless. For a girl with Liu Liya's appearance, any man with normal aesthetics will not think that she is beautiful.
I consider myself a normal man, and I have always hoped that a beautiful girl would fall in love with me, but I did not lose my mind because of this. This girl named Liu Liya is so beautiful, and her family owns a company.
Why did they fall in love with me at first sight? Is it because I’m good at games? But I didn’t introduce myself to them, saying that I knew how to play games and that I was a player on the Glory Heaven Ranking.
"Can I ask, what do you see in me?"
Mrs. Liu replied reservedly: "If my daughter likes it, of course I like it, nothing else."
Liu Liya replied shyly: "I...I just like your honesty."
To be honest, her answer did not satisfy me. I think in today's society, although there are more and more temptations outside, honest people are not on the verge of extinction. Just because I look honest, I look at them at a glance
For me, this reason doesn't seem to hold up.
Sure enough, Mrs. Liu's next words seemed to explain this. She said coldly: "My daughter's first time was given to her senior. I think you won't mind this."
Liu Liya's face turned red with embarrassment: "Mom, why do you say this?"
"Nonsense, are new cars and second-hand cars the same? As a future car owner, of course I have an obligation to let Xiao Chen know this in advance. This is a matter of integrity."
ps: I have always wanted to write this story, and now I have finally inserted it into it. I hope everyone will not find it too abrupt after reading it.
