The next day.

Because he didn't want to affect his aunt's family's business, Jiang Feng and his girlfriend rushed to Fengyang Town in a hurry. When they arrived, the wholesale department of his aunt's family had just closed.

After greeting each other, Jiang Feng said: "The three members of the Jie family are also on the way. They will arrive in about ten minutes."

My uncle said, "Xiao Feng, should we wait until they arrive or go directly to the hotel to wait for them?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said: "We are women, there is no rush. We will wait until they arrive at the hotel first and we will rush there."

The uncle nodded. This was similar to what he thought. In a blind date, the right way is for the man to wait for the woman. If the woman waits for the man, it would be rude for the man.

"Cousin, I really caused trouble for you this time!"

Feng Qian was really embarrassed. She didn't agree with her cousin's introduction to her last year, and now she felt the pain and asked her cousin to introduce her again.

If her cousin hadn't encouraged her, she really wouldn't have been able to say this.

Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "No trouble, as long as you can find someone you like."

The aunt looked at her daughter and said: "If you had listened to your cousin last year, you would be a mother now. You should know how strong your cousin is as a matchmaker. You can't be willful this time.

"

Feng Qian blushed for a while when she was told that, and quickly responded: "Mom, I understand, this time it's all up to my cousin."

Jiang Feng smiled and said: "The members of the Jie family all live in the public family. Although cousin, you won't be rich when you marry, your living conditions will definitely be good.

The most important thing is that you and Brother Jie have similar personalities, and your future mother-in-law works in the Civil Affairs Bureau. She has seen many separations and reunions, and she values ​​relationships more than ordinary people and is more reasonable.

If you marry into such a family, you will surely live a happy life."

This made my aunt's family of three secretly happy. Their family was indeed well off, with a net worth of several million. However, as long as the economic conditions were not too different, the status of a businessman would not be as good as that of a public servant.

After all, there is no guarantee of profit or loss in business.

As for eating from the government, as long as you don't commit suicide, you are really getting an iron rice bowl.

After chatting for seven or eight minutes, Jiefang called Jiang Feng: "Master Jiang, we are at the hotel!"

Jiang Feng quickly replied: "We are on the way too, we will be there in a minute or two."

"Then we'll wait for you at the door."

"Okay, hang up now, we'll be there soon."

When answering the phone, Jiang Feng had already waved to his aunt and others to get in the car. Now as soon as he hung up the phone, he started the car and rushed towards the agreed-upon hotel.

The wholesale department run by my aunt's family was originally in the town. The whole town is as big as the palm of my hand. It takes more than one minute to drive from the wholesale department to the agreed upon hotel.

When the two parties met, Jiang Feng introduced them one by one.

After greeting each other, they walked into the hotel together.

Although the restaurants in the villages and towns were small, they were well-equipped, and there was no shortage of private rooms. Everyone asked for a private room, and then they declined each other before ordering all the dishes.

After the waiter served hot tea and went out, the two parties started chatting.

Director Xie was the first to ask: "I heard from Master Jiang that your family runs a wholesale department. This business should be easy to do, right?"

The uncle smiled and said: "It's not bad. In the early years when competition was not so fierce, business was relatively good. In recent years, there have been more people doing wholesale than before, and a lot of business has inevitably been taken away.

"

Xie's mother asked curiously: "How many years has your wholesale department been open?"

The aunt answered: "It has been open for more than 20 years."

Director Xie said: "If you have been able to run a wholesale department for more than 20 years, you must have earned at least a few million, right?"

My uncle said modestly: "Although I have made some money, it is still not comparable to those of you who are eating from the government! You have guaranteed income during droughts and floods, so you don't have to worry about losses. After retirement, you can still receive a considerable amount of money every month.

Retirement pension, this guarantee is not comparable to that of those of us who run a small business."

Director Xie smiled and said: "You can't say that. We can only meet our basic needs by eating public food. If we want to make a fortune, we still have to look to you businessmen!"

Both parties were humble to each other and complimented each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Soon, the waiter began to serve the food, and Director Xie even opened a bottle of good wine brought from home, and several grown men started chatting while drinking.

After all, Jiefang and Feng Qian were still young, and were not as thick-skinned as those men and women over thirty years old. They were too embarrassed to chat in front of their elders, so they just got to know each other and listened quietly to the elders chatting.

In this regard, Jiang Feng, the matchmaker, did not force them. He still had a lot of experience and understanding about what kind of people he should adopt as a matchmaking method.

Anyway, after this meeting, they will have their own contact information, let them contact each other privately via WeChat, slowly develop their relationship, and then it will be a matter of course for them to be together.

This meal took nearly two hours to finish.

Naturally, it is the man who pays the bill. This is the dating rule in Bailiang County.

In addition, the Jie family also sent red envelopes they had prepared long ago to the three members of the Feng family and Jiang Feng, the great matchmaker. Even Huang Lingwei, who seldom spoke and always acted as a background wall, also received a red envelope.

The moment she received the red envelope, the girl was stunned. It was obviously the first time she received a red envelope from a stranger.

After watching Xie's family drive away, Huang Lingwei asked: "Brother Feng, how come I can also receive a red envelope?"

"Our blind date rules here in Bailiang County, whether it's from the woman's side or the matchmaker's side, the man has to give a red envelope, and the amount of the red envelope also represents the man's attitude towards the blind date."

Having said this, Jiang Feng looked at Feng Qian and said, "Cousin, please open the red envelope and see how much the Jie family has given you?"

It was also the first time for Feng Qian to participate in a blind date, and she was ignorant of these rules. After hearing the words, she obediently opened the red envelope in her hand and took out a small pile of old people's heads.

I counted it and found it was exactly one thousand yuan.

Jiang Feng saw this and smiled: "Auntie, uncle, have you all seen it?"

The aunt and uncle nodded in unison, with smiles on their faces. They were very clear about the rules of blind dates in Bailiang County. The man sent the woman a red envelope worth one thousand yuan. Needless to say, they all understood the attitude.

After all, if the man is not satisfied, the amount of red envelope given to the woman is basically one or two hundred yuan, or even thirty or fifty yuan for the stingy ones.

Then, my aunt and uncle also opened their red envelopes, each worth 500 yuan.

Jiang Feng and Huang Lingwei also opened the red envelopes. Huang Lingwei received the same amount of five hundred yuan as her aunt and uncle, while Jiang Feng, as a matchmaker, received the same amount of red envelopes as his cousin, which was one thousand yuan.

The red envelope alone gave me 3,500 yuan, plus the meal, 4,000 yuan would not be lost, and this does not include the valuable bottle of wine that Director Xie brought with him.

This is the blind date market here in Bailiang County.

If it works in the end, everyone will be happy, but if it doesn't work, then the money will be wasted.

…

Jiang Feng drank and asked Huang Lingwei to be the driver.

After sending his aunt and others home, Jiang Feng warned: "Cousin, the attitude of the groom's family is already very obvious. Later, you and Brother Jie will have a good chat on WeChat to get to know each other better and cultivate feelings. I hope that next time

When we meet again, I can hear your good news."

Feng Qian nodded and said: "Cousin, I understand, I will cherish this opportunity."

Jiang Feng smiled happily when he heard this. After experiencing emotional setbacks, his cousin finally matured. He then looked at his aunt and uncle and said, "Auntie and uncle, let's go back first. We have to send Weiwei back tomorrow."

Where is the school!"

"Well, have a nice trip. Xiaowei will come to my aunt's house again when she has time."

"Okay, aunt."

"goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

…

Thursday, May 4, 2023.

Jiang's father, Jiang's mother, uncle and aunt got up very early that day. The four of them killed chickens, ducks, picked vegetables and cooked. They cooked a sumptuous meal before nine o'clock in the morning.

Today, my aunt's family of four is going back to Shenzhen City, and Jiang Feng is also sending his girlfriend Huang Lingwei back to school. Jiang Fei, his wife, and Jiang Xue are also going back to the provincial capital to work.

Grandma and uncle's family are also going back to the county town.

In short, after today, the lively Jiang family returned to its original state, with only Jiang's father and Jiang's mother left at home.

After the meal, Huang Lingwei received more than ten red envelopes, including ones from grandma, father and mother of Jiang, aunts and uncles, uncles and aunts, elder brothers and sisters-in-law, and

Given to me by my cousin.

Even my sister, who is not married, joined in the fun and gave me a red envelope.

This is also the custom in Qinghe Town. Generally, when a man brings his girlfriend home for the first time, his parents will send him a red envelope when he leaves. However, most of them only have one red envelope, which is given by their father or mother.

It is very rare for everyone to give red envelopes like this to the Jiang family.

Next, everyone said goodbye to each other, then divided into three groups and set off.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Feng arrived at the provincial capital. At Huang Lingwei's request, everyone had a meal together. After resting for half an hour, Jiang Feng and Huang Lingwei drove back to Hangzhou.

After running all the way, when we arrived at Gui B City, it was already getting late.

So, the two of them rested for one night in Gui B City.

Early the next morning, after having breakfast, the two of them continued to drive, taking turns driving until after 11 o'clock in the evening, they successfully arrived in Hangzhou.

It was so late that Huang Lingwei could not go back to school, so the two of them booked a room in the hotel where they usually stayed.
To be continued...
