Chapter 577: The Blind Date Arrives

Song Tan had just arrived home when she saw Until Wu Lan excitedly approach her: "How was it? Did that girl come?"

It goes to show that gossip is human nature; it cannot be resisted!

Song Tan checked the time: "What time is it now? It's impossible for someone to come over as a guest so early in the morning."

Until Wu Lan sighed: "That is the logic, but isn't the weather hot? I was just asking."

Then, she suddenly stood still and looked Song Tan up and down: "You shouldn't need me to arrange a partner for you, right? Sigh, your grandmother is right; regardless of whether it's the Imperial Capital or anywhere else, if you get along, you should just start dating."

Song Tan:...

She immediately lowered her head, looking aggrieved like a little white flower in the wind: "Mom, what if I'm picked over by the other person's parents..."

"Pah!" Until Wu Lan got anxious just imagining this scene:

"How much nerve do they have to pick you over?! Let me tell you, what they say on the internet is all correct! When you're young, you have to make money. Once you have money, you can find a 'young man,' and it saves those ugly, thick-skinned people from coming to your door..."

???

A young man?

Song Tan gasped: Is her mom this open-minded?!

So she tentatively asked: "Mom, what you mean by 'young man' is..."

Until Wu Lan said as a matter of course: "Isn't it a men's university? It's all men, there must be many good young guys! I heard that women's colleges are all for the nobility."

Song Tan:...

Although she misunderstood, it didn't seem entirely wrong. Also, what men's university, what women's college?

Song Tan was thoughtful: "Mom, have you been reading domineering CEO novels lately?"

This sounded very much like the setting of an old-fashioned CEO novel.

Until Wu Lan said "Hmm": "Your dad listens to them every day and even bought a membership. I figured he's quite good at spending money, so I opened a membership too! The website just recommended this to me, and it's quite... cough, Mom hasn't listened to much, just while doing chores."

"Mainly because the membership is only ten or twenty yuan a month; if I don't listen to more, it's a loss."

Song Tan:... As long as you're happy.

Meanwhile, Li Lanhua was waiting and waiting, having wiped the room back and forth several times. The cement floor was mopped spotlessly clean, and even the fan was taken apart and washed clean.

Not to mention Zhou Tianyu's room, which was tidied up so neatly it was dust-free; she wouldn't even let him go in!

Zhou Tianyu:... I just wanted to go in and charge my phone!

At this moment, Li Lanhua regretted it: "Sigh! If I had known, I would have installed an air conditioner!"

Last year, Zhou Tianyu said he would install one for the house, but she didn't agree, telling her son to save his money...

Now, it's great; guests are coming in the middle of summer with no air conditioning, and her son didn't save any money either. It's truly a huge loss.

But fortunately, the houses in the village are built high, and the living room has a space of about three or four meters. The cross-breeze blowing through was cool, and after sitting for a while, it wasn't so sweltering.

Thinking about the watermelon and tomatoes in the refrigerator, she felt slightly more at ease.

When people come later, if her house doesn't have air conditioning, she might be looked down upon, but Song Tan's watermelon is delicious. She'll cut it for them immediately; ice-cold and sweet, it can at least gain some favor.

Also, she had to instruct Mao Zhu: "Later, if there are no male guests over there to keep you company, you should take the initiative to cut the watermelon. Let them see that we don't treat men like precious treasures."

"By the way, cut the watermelon into small pieces. Don't cut them long; you'd have to hold the rind with both hands... The girl is delicate, it's not convenient to eat if it's too big."

From this, it can be seen that Li Lanhua is truly meticulous!

Zhou Tianyu was truly helpless: "Mom, didn't you say it depends on fate? People haven't even arrived yet and you're so nervous... It's really not necessary! What if she doesn't like me?"

"You can't say it like that."

Li Lanhua looked at her son and also wanted to sigh: "Look at your dad and me, we look average, and you didn't inherit anything good... When the girl sees you, the first impression might easily be bad."

Zhou Tianyu:... You might as well just say I'm ugly!

But he looked in the mirror—he really wasn't handsome, his face was a bit square, and he looked a bit haggard... But it's not like he's ugly, right?!

Li Lanhua also intended to teach her son, and at this moment, she spoke meticulously: "Fortunately, everyone says that for boys, appearance isn't important—as long as you have a good build, growing up casually is fine. Once a girl has feelings, she won't be picky."

Zhou Tianyu:... What? Am I a deep-sea fish? If no one looks at me, I can just grow however I want?

"At this time, you have to look at the details, see our family's sincerity, whether you are attentive, whether you are caring enough, etc... Even if our family is poor, if the details are in place, the girl will be just as happy."

Besides...

Li Lanhua muttered: "Even if this one doesn't work out, your Chen Shen knows many people. Seeing that we are sincere about getting a daughter-in-law and have a good attitude, next time there's a good girl, she will definitely introduce her to us again!"

Just as she was speaking, she saw that Chen Shen coming over wearing a hat: "Lanhua, the girl said the weather is too hot, and her parents have had heat colds for several days, so they dare not let them be exposed to the sun anymore."

Li Lanhua's heart skipped a beat—don't tell me they aren't coming?

However, she heard Chen Shen say:

"The girl said that you are also in a hurry, so she will come over by herself. She was afraid you would think she wasn't taking it seriously, so she asked me to tell you first. I will come to keep her company today..."

"Oh my!"

Li Lanhua's mood was like a roller coaster, and at this moment, only joy remained. Naturally, she found everything pleasing to the eye, thinking this girl is quite straightforward! And she handles things thoughtfully; she is also a filial person!

Why are the children raised by others so excellent?

Although it's a pity that the other party's parents aren't coming, she is coming by herself. After all, they are young people. If Chen Shen puts in a good word later, wouldn't it be easier to succeed?

At this moment, she smiled even more generously: "Chen Saozi, since you introduced her, you should be the one to keep the guest company... Come, come, blow the fan!"

"It's all my fault for being too rushed and the timing being unfortunate... It's just that the girl didn't mind, and I feel quite bad about it."

While speaking, Zhou Maozhu also instructed his son: "Hurry and pour tea for your aunt! Use that separately packed tea leaves! The kind you gave as a gift."

For this blind date, their family really went all out!

Zhou Tianyu's heart trembled when he heard about the tea leaves.

At this moment, grabbing the tea leaves, he felt they were all made of gold. It took a long time to brew them and serve them.

Chen Shen was originally still talking to Li Lanhua: "We see each other every day, why are you being so polite? Don't bother for me. In that big water bucket at Until Wu Lan's house, there is also tea water... Oh my, it's incredibly fragrant!"

As she said this, she lifted her water cup: "Look, after I finished packing the marinade bags this morning, she even filled a cup for me!"

She sighed again: "It's a pity, I intended to buy some. She said the price is expensive and it's out of stock. I have to wait for the autumn tea."

When Li Lanhua heard this, she knew that Song Tan's family didn't intend to hide the price anymore, and she laughed out loud:

"It's really out of stock; it was ordered long ago—and even if there were, you couldn't afford it. It's ten thousand yuan a jin!"

Zhou Tianyu, who was just bringing the tea, felt his heart tremble again.

Chen Shen was also stunned: "What did you say?! Ten thousand?!" ===== CHAPTER 578 =====
