After dinner, Zhang Fan returned to his room, put on his suit and looked extremely handsome, and got into his uncle Zhang Chuyou's Wuling van.
The village next door is called Daniu Village, and it is only separated from Xianghua Village by a large river. They are not that far apart from each other.
After driving for about half an hour, we arrived at Daniu Village. Today, the sun is shining brightly, the breeze is pleasant, and everything is filled with the joy of the New Year.
When the Wuling van arrived at Daniu Village, it did not rush to the woman's house immediately, but went straight to a canteen.
The size of this canteen is actually not that small. It is not appropriate to call it a canteen. It should be called a small supermarket.
He opened the heavy cotton curtain and walked inside. I came here not for anything else, but to prepare some small gifts.
When it comes to blind dates, you are also very particular about it. You need to prepare some melon seeds, peanuts and sugar. These things are for women.
In addition to these, you must also prepare a box of cigarettes. If there are men in the woman's family, you must open the cigarettes and hand them to them. This is the most basic blind date etiquette.
Zhang Fan keeps this box of cigarettes himself. When the time comes when he goes to the woman's house, he will give it to him as appropriate. After preparing the gifts to be bought, the Wuling van started up again and drove forward for less than ten minutes before stopping again. After arriving at a house, an old lady with gray hair wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket walked on crutches. Got the car.
This is the matchmaker for this blind date. As soon as she got in the car, she praised Zhang Fan fiercely, saying that he was growing up so handsome and that he was very promising at first glance.
Hearing the end made Zhang Fan feel embarrassed. Boy, am I that good? Putting aside whether I have any future or not, I have no doubt that I am handsome and handsome.
The Wuling van drove forward for less than two hundred meters before it stopped again. Zhang Fan rolled down the car glass, thinking he had arrived at his destination, but the next second, another old lady wearing a green cotton-padded jacket walked onto the car shakily.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Fan looked slightly startled and confused. Is this also a matchmaker? What does this, this, this mean?
How many matchmakers do you need to find for a blind date? It was just as he guessed. This old lady is also a matchmaker.
After she got on the bus, she also praised Zhang Fan fiercely, just like the matchmaker who just got on the bus.
At this time, Zhang Chuyou looked at Zhang Fan with a shocked look on his face. He couldn't help but chuckle and explained, "This is normal. I remember when I gave your cousin a blind date, there were three or four matchmakers."
Hearing this, Zhang Fan's palm holding the gift trembled slightly. Can you still play like this? I don't know how long it took, and Zhang Fan didn't know how long he wandered around Daniu Village before the five-sided van gradually stopped.
This time, it seemed that he had actually arrived at the woman’s home. Parking the car on the side of the road, Zhang Fan and his uncle followed the two matchmakers and went deep into the alley.
But when he passed the second house, a dog barked wildly inside, which startled Zhang Chuyou.
The woman’s family is in the third household. The iron door of their house is painted red with a slight rust, and it looks like it has been there for some years. The door is open and not closed, as if it is waiting for the arrival of a loved one.
As the two matchmakers walked in, the sound of chickens and ducks squeaking came towards him. Zhang Fan followed the sound and looked around, discovering that the woman's family actually raised a lot of livestock.
Their yard is not big, but there are many small iron cages. There are chickens, ducks, and even rabbits in the iron cages.
On one side of the iron cage, an electric tricycle was parked there, with various feeds piled on top of the cart.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Fan felt a little moved in his heart. It seemed that this family was not very wealthy. While he was observing, someone walked out of the woman's house.
They were a middle-aged woman and a middle-aged man. They were dressed very simply and had pitted and dark skin. At first glance, they looked like ordinary people who often worked at home.
These two people are the parents of his blind date. They smiled and welcomed Zhang Fan and others into the house.
The house is not very big, just three bedrooms and one living room. Of course, the three-bedroom and one-living room here is not the type in a community, but the style in a rural area. Generally speaking, it is already very small.
Although it is not large in scale, it is extremely clean and tidy. At first glance, the owner seems to be a person who loves cleanliness and pays attention to hygiene.
Zhang Fan forced a smile on his face. He couldn't tell whether the smile came from the heart, but he felt a burning and indescribable embarrassment on his face.
He took out the box of cigarettes from his pocket, tore open the package and handed it to the middle-aged man. Because he didn't usually smoke, he didn't know much about the styles of cigarettes, and he was not short of money for the time being, so he casually ordered a box of the most expensive Huazi.
It cost him about 70 yuan. The price was okay, not too expensive for him. When he was buying it, his uncle criticized him, saying that there was no need to buy such expensive cigarettes even if he didn't even say a word about it.
But he bought it after all. Seeing the Huazi handed over, the middle-aged man looked obviously confused. He didn't expect that Zhang Fan would buy such an expensive Huazi. The smile on his face became brighter and he quickly glanced at the middle-aged woman next to him.
Seeing this look, the middle-aged woman suddenly had something in her mind, and immediately walked into the back room to call out the girl who was on a blind date with Zhang Fan.
But after shouting twice, the girl still had no intention of coming out. In response to this, the middle-aged woman looked embarrassed and hurriedly said that her daughter was shy and shy, so don't worry about it.
Then he took Zhang Fan into the back room and asked him to chat with his daughter alone. Although he was speechless, Zhang Fan thought about it. After all, he was a girl, and it was normal to be thin-skinned, so he bravely walked in.
Entering the room, a girl dressed in a fancy dress, with a round head, a pretty face, and a black down jacket was crossing her legs, playing with her mobile phone with her head lowered, and she didn't know who she was chatting with.
As Zhang Fan walked in, the girl just raised her head and glanced sideways without saying anything. Her attitude seemed very cold and full of arrogance, giving people a cold feeling that was distant from others.
"Hello!" Zhang Fan greeted symbolically out of politeness.
"Hello to you too!" The girl did not raise her head, her words were filled with a trace of impatience. Seeing that the other party was so cold, Zhang Fan didn't know what to say for a moment.
He had no experience at all in blind dates, but he just felt that the girl in front of him was not very polite.
Logically speaking, when talking to someone, you should raise your head, instead of keeping your head down and playing with your phone.
"I heard them say, are you a graduate student? Girls who can get into graduate school now are amazing!" Zhang Fan didn't know what to say, so he could only praise the girl from the side.
After all, no one likes to hear good things, especially girls.
"It's okay! All my classmates have been admitted to graduate school! This is nothing special!" The girl still lowered her head and did not look at Zhang Fan. Her expression was joyless and worry-free, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
"By the way, what's your education level?" the girl asked casually.
"I am an undergraduate, um...second degree!" Zhang Fan swallowed and said.
"Oh!" The girl said softly, but her brows suddenly wrinkled, as if she was not very satisfied with Zhang Fan's academic qualifications.
"How many brothers do you have at home?" the girl continued to ask, still not intending to raise her head.
"I am the only son in my family, and I live in my uncle's house now!" Zhang Fan replied truthfully. He didn't really want to go on a blind date in the first place, he just came here to take care of errands. There was no point in hiding it, so it was better to say it openly.
