Chapter 576

How could Zhou Tianyu not guess his mother's thoughts?

At this moment, the irritation on his face was visible to the naked eye, but seeing his mother covered in sweat, the words stopped on his lips:

"Fine!"

"However, meeting is just meeting; if we can't get along, Mom, don't you go arranging anything else."

"My train ticket is the day after tomorrow; even if you arrange it, I won't stay home for a blind date," Zhou Tianyu said gloomily.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Seeing her son loosen up, Li Lanhua was already overjoyed:

"Don't worry, it's just a meeting; whether it works out or not depends on you. Can Mom really force you?"

The aunt next door had already gotten her a photo of the girl that afternoon; she was indeed delicate and pretty—very good-looking!

Her son likes pretty ones; Li Lanhua was confident!

People always say that in the past, carriages and horses were slow, and the village rhythm was slow. But Zhou Tianyu had never realized that when the village rhythm is fast, it's also ridiculously fast!

And so, early in the morning, he was dragged up by Li Lanhua. Heaven have mercy! Among contemporary young people, who doesn't stay up late? He didn't sleep until after two o'clock yesterday!

!

It's only a little past five!

Then, without another word, he was dragged by his mother to the sink and ordered to scrub his head, wash his face, and shave his beard...

To the point that Zhou Tianyu's heart trembled:

"It's not a blind date today, is it?"

"Yes, it is." Li Lanhua said as naturally as could be:

"Isn't your train ticket for the day after tomorrow? You have to rush to the city after lunch that day, so where would you find the time?"

She added happily: "Oh my! Aunt Chen is truly reliable in her dealings. The girl she introduced is also good!"

"Originally, I planned to have you two young people meet in town, maybe have a meal or go for a walk. If that didn't work, going to the city would be the same."

"But Aunt Chen called me last night and said the girl is a simple person who doesn't care about such things. It's hot, and going to the city means taking a bus and spending money; it's better to come to the house to see, so she can have a sense of security and save some money..."

"You tell me, you tell me!" Li Lanhua's eyebrows were already trembling with joy!

They hadn't even started dating, and the girl was already showing such simplicity, knowing how to live and save money—isn't this the perfect complement to her son, who spends money lavishly?

Oh my, back when they were young and having blind dates, didn't they all go to the man's house to see?

It's just right!

While she was happily enjoying herself, she hurriedly urged Zhou Maozhu to take a broom and sweep the already clean courtyard again.

She paced back and forth, really not knowing what to do, and then said "Oh my" and hurried over to Song Tan's house.

"I have to tell Until Wu Lan that I can't make it over this morning."

It was almost six o'clock, and Li Lanhua naturally wasn't asking for leave—she had already sent a message.

Seeing Until Wu Lan at this moment, she asked embarrassedly: "Until Wu Lan, over at my place, the girl is coming for a blind date today. There aren't many vegetables in the field, and I didn't have time to prepare fruit..."

"I just wanted to ask, that watermelon of yours..."

She stammered, knowing that the Song family's things were precious and not easily sold to outsiders.

But it was truly too late to prepare now; she couldn't let the girl come over and only have a glass of plain water, could she?

Even if the girl didn't mind, she couldn't treat it lightly!

At this moment, she could only say longingly: "I know it's 20 yuan a jin; I'll pay."

"Oh my! A blind date is a big deal."

Until Wu Lan absolutely couldn't accept money for this, and without another word, she called Song Tan: "Tantan, go up the mountain and pick a watermelon for your aunt; pick a big one."

A blind date is not the time to worry about small change.

Her family's watermelon is delicious—Li Lanhua had eaten it when they were drinking—so she couldn't pick a small, stingy one; that wouldn't look right.

It had to be big to make people feel generous.

Sure enough, Li Lanhua nodded heavily, and at this moment, she hurriedly said: "Whatever the price is, that's what it is. This watermelon is so expensive; I'd be embarrassed to take it if you don't accept money."

A big watermelon is over ten jin, which adds up to several hundred yuan—how could she have such a thick skin?

As the two pushed the money back and forth, Song Tan took a small basket: "It's fine, Mom; this is a happy occasion for my aunt. If you take the money, we'll also share in the joy."

Although it hadn't happened yet, the way Song Tan said it made it sound like a done deal.

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Lanhua was even more beaming, and at this moment, she even instructed her: "Tantan, can you send it to my house later? I'm in such a rush, and I still have to go to the small shop to weigh some cookies and melon seeds."

What's the big deal?

Song Tan waved her hand with a smile.

She thought of Zhou Tianyu and couldn't help but ponder—when the girl sees his appearance, will she also want to pinch his cheeks?

Oh my, I can't think about it anymore! Otherwise, I'll laugh out loud!

Song Tan hurriedly turned around, carrying the basket, and ran up the mountain.

There weren't enough watermelons in the field to sell, but there was more than enough for their own consumption.

She didn't pick the biggest one, but one that was neither too big nor too small, about ten jin.

Then, carrying the basket, she rummaged through the fence on the side and picked half a basket of bright red cherry tomatoes. Only then did she walk down the mountain unhurriedly.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Zhou Tianyu with a dark face, eating a bun without tasting it.

And over here, Zhou Maozhu was moving things from the shed in the courtyard, back and forth, not knowing how to arrange them properly.

Li Lanhua, holding two bunches of green onions she had just pulled from the field, hurriedly greeted her and reached for her phone:

"How much is it? I'll transfer the money to you."

Song Tan smiled and pursed her lips: "I was afraid that if I picked one too big, you wouldn't be able to finish it and it would go to waste, so I chose one that's just right—ten jin and six liang; Auntie, you can just pay for ten jin."

"And this basket of cherry tomatoes, the taste is also particularly good; take them for the girl to try."

Song Tan spoke sincerely: "Neighbors and fellow villagers—you and my uncle have helped out a lot, so don't be polite, absolutely don't be polite."

"Oh my, oh my!"

Li Lanhua was so happy she didn't know what to do, and at this moment, even the pain of transferring 200 yuan didn't feel so sharp.

This time, she couldn't help but feel a bit envious of Until Wu Lan—

Look at other people's daughter, how thoughtful she is!

And then look at her own son, squatting there eating without any manners... it's truly hard to look at!

And Song Tan looked at this bare courtyard and offered another idea:

"By the way, Auntie, when the girl comes later, if there's nowhere to go in our village, you can let Zhou Tianyu take her for a stroll around my chestnut orchard."

"There's a wall of Cherokee rose flowers over there; it's blooming so beautifully right now."

"It's also shaded inside, and there are two dogs, but they are particularly obedient. If you take a walk nearby, they won't bark."

"I know, I know."

Li Lanhua knew about the dogs at Song Tan's house; they were so smart.

Looking around again, in this hot weather, there really wasn't anywhere good to stroll in the village. Young people are thin-skinned, and if they are alone, they're probably afraid of being seen by people in the village...

Tantan is still the most thoughtful; walking up the mountain is the only way.

Thinking again of how other people's daughters are so considerate and meticulous...

Li Lanhua's heart, oh, it was truly sour.
