Chapter 578: The Blind Date Really Came

~7 min read 1,384 words

Once Zhou Tianyu put down the tea leaves, no one paid any attention to him anymore.

Chen Shen stared at the cup of tea, smelled the fragrance, and thought back to Zhou Maozhu stir-frying tea leaves for Song Tan's family in early spring. At this moment, she said in surprise:

"This is..."

"It is!" Li Lanhua nodded: "Look, this is the first time I've taken it out to treat a guest, you must taste it!"

After finishing, she gave Zhou Tianyu a subtle glare.

Zhou Tianyu:... Feeling guilty, didn't dare to speak.

Chen Shen quickly put her big cup aside and nodded repeatedly: "It's only right... Wait, it's already ten o'clock? Sister Tian Tian told me she would come at ten!"

Just as she was speaking, a roar of a motorcycle was suddenly heard outside the door. Everyone walked out to take a look and saw a young girl take off her hat and the veil covering her face, revealing a slightly dark but smiling face:

"Aunt, I'm sorry I'm late."

The scene was silent for a moment.

Perhaps no one expected that she, a young girl, would ride a motorcycle to a blind date by herself.

How should one put it? Even though Li Lanhua had a filter, at this moment she felt this girl was a bit too straightforward...

But this didn't hinder her enthusiastic greeting. At this moment, she approached with a pained expression:

"Oh my, look at how flustered our family is, making a young girl like you run around in this hot weather... Come, come, come inside, I'll cut some watermelon for you to eat!"

"I heard from your Chen Shen that your name is Sister Tian Tian, right? That's a really nice name. Are you tired? I've prepared a cup of tea water for you to cool down. If you're not used to cold drinks, I'll brew you a hot one!"

In order to leave a good impression on the girl, Li Lanhua really went all out.

"It's okay, Aunt." Sister Tian Tian smiled, pursing her lips, with a small dimple on her cheek: "I'm fine with anything."

While speaking, her eyes looked at Zhou Tianyu without a trace, but her expression didn't change much.

Li Lanhua saw this and started muttering in her heart again. She looked at her own son—she was furious!

His eyes were still glued to the motorcycle outside!

What's so good about that motorcycle?! It looks just like the old motorcycle at home. In this village, most families have one.

Not to mention anything else, there are several people of their age who know how to ride one!

She quickly raised her voice: "Tianyu, hurry! Tell your dad to cut the watermelon quickly! It's so hot... Sister Tian Tian, I'll get you a basin of water to wipe off your sweat!"

"Okay, thank you, Aunt."

The girl named Sister Tian Tian was quite generous and not at all restrained. Entering the courtyard, she didn't look around—

There wasn't much to look at anyway.

It's a rural courtyard, everything is in full view; one glance and you've seen it all.

Until she entered the house, she didn't have any opinions about the floor without tiles or the old fan whirring in the living room. Instead, she said in surprise:

"Aunt, your tea is so fragrant!"

"Of course," Li Lanhua also wanted to show off:

"Tianyu's dad stir-fried tea leaves for a family in our team in early spring. That tea sells for 10,000 yuan a jin and still isn't enough to sell. This was given to him by them, and today is the first time I've used it to treat a guest!"

The other party understood the implication, and her smile became even brighter, with deep dimples on her cheeks.

Zhou Maozhu had already quickly cut a large plate of watermelon and brought it over, taking the opportunity to look at Tianyu.

Then, while Li Lanhua was getting water, he secretly told her:

"This girl looks quite generous."

"Yes." Li Lanhua was also very satisfied—she's pretty and knows how to act, it's just that her skin is a little dark, looking even less fair than Zhou Tianyu's.

But on second thought, having dark skin in the village proves she can work; she's a diligent person!

Although her family doesn't farm much now, having a diligent daughter-in-law is definitely something everyone likes.

It's just that...

From the time she entered the door until now, she has been full of enthusiasm and her smile hasn't changed. She can't tell what she's thinking, and she doesn't know if she can take a liking to her silly son!

The girl came from so far away, and he stands on the side without even knowing how to say a polite word. When he does speak, it's about doing sales in Beicheng. How is this sales work done?

Don't you need to practice your glib tongue?

Li Lanhua didn't know that for some people, talking freely with strangers and chatting with familiar people are completely different things.

Unfortunately, Zhou Tianyu is that kind of person.

If you let him talk about products, projects, and guide people to place orders, he has a whole set of scripts.

But this kind of down-to-earth small talk in the countryside... he is truly a bit restrained.

Not to mention that his mom was right, Sister Tian Tian is indeed delicate. Although she is not as good as the urban beauties, she has a kind of simple beauty...

Even though he resisted the blind date, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment.

It's just that... he is a university graduate with a monthly salary of over ten thousand, and his colleagues and friends are basically university graduates. If he were the only one to fall in love with a girl with a high school diploma, he didn't know what everyone would say...

Also, Sister Tian Tian didn't wear makeup today. Beicheng is a first-tier city, and everyone is very particular. If she went there, he didn't know if she could adapt...

Although Zhou Tianyu didn't speak, he thought quite a lot.

And Li Lanhua was carrying the water basin to the main hall. Before she even entered the room, she heard her son ask:

"You riding this motorcycle... do you have a license?"

Li Lanhua:... Her eyes went black.

Sister Tian Tian was also stunned.

She looked up at Zhou Tianyu and smiled with pursed lips: "No, but I'm used to riding in these mountain gullies, and no one comes to check."

"Oh, oh, oh."

Zhou Tianyu realized afterwards that he seemed to have asked the wrong question, and his expression was awkward:

"I'm sorry, I wasn't talking about the license, I just, I just..."

Sister Tian Tian laughed: "Hmm, I know, it's okay."

Seeing this, Chen Shen quickly smoothed things over:

"Sister Tian Tian, come, come, come, wash your hands and wipe off your sweat, come over and eat watermelon!"

"Let me tell you, this watermelon is from Old Song's family in our village. It's 20 yuan a jin, and they don't sell it to just anyone! It's only because your Aunt Li has a big face and is willing to spend money that she bought one. Today, I'm basking in your glory!"

20 yuan a jin?!

Sister Tian Tian was indeed distracted: "I heard there is a family here that often hires people to work on the mountain. Is it this family that grows watermelons? This melon is so expensive!"

She looked at Li Lanhua and said sincerely: "Aunt, you've spent too much."

"What's this?"

Li Lanhua quickly took out a plate of small tomatoes from the refrigerator: "What kind of expense is this? Look at this table, I haven't even prepared the cigarettes, alcohol, candy, and melon seeds... The small shop doesn't sell these, and I didn't have time. Don't blame us for being negligent."

She was truly a bit embarrassed.

After all, for other people's blind dates, the parents of both sides and the matchmaker sit together and have a meal, which costs more than 200, and they have to prepare fresh fruit and snacks, not to mention cigarettes and alcohol...

In her case, the only thing that cost money was the watermelon. ===== CHAPTER 579 =====
