Chapter 136: Blind Date (1)
Indeed, Chen Ping is a native of Zhangjiagang. He lived in the city center of Zhangjiagang when he was a child. However, due to the later reconstruction of the new city, his parents' factories and houses were relocated to the east countryside. Therefore, although Chen Ping is working in the Zhangjiagang Municipal Party Committee, he has not had much time to go home to visit his parents because he is busy with things. He has always lived in a house rented by the Zhangjiagang Municipal Party Committee. Now, his mother asked him to go back with a text message, which made Chen Ping feel a little confused.
Chen Ping called back to inquire, but I didn't explain clearly, so I insisted on letting him go back and letting him dress up a little better, which surprised him even more.
However, Chen Ping did not think so much about this. Anyway, his mother would not harm him. On the weekend, Chen Ping took a bus home. After an hour's drive, when the car passed by the village entrance, Chen Ping got off the bus and saw a middle-aged woman waiting there. She was Chen Ping's mother named Zhao Yuexia. He and his father Chen Yuanshan were both ordinary workers in the textile factory. They responded to the call for late marriage and late childbirth in the factory. They did not have a son like Chen Ping until they were in their thirties. Although Chen Ping is only in his twenties, his mother Zhao Yuexia has gray hair, and even her face and neck have obvious wrinkles.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ping felt like something was blocking his heart and shouted, "Mom."
When Zhao Yuexia saw her son, she walked up with a smile and said something back. Although the words were simple, Chen Ping could feel the strong care from it, just like she had been in the past twenty years.
"Mom, these are some coarse grain powders and honey that I brought to you two elders."
Chen Ping said this, and at the same time showed Zhao Yuexia the two boxes of things he was carrying.
"Look at you, you spend money indiscriminately!"
Just like all the parents in the world, although Zhao Yuexia said this, she was still very happy.
Chen Ping didn't dare to talk back to his mother, so he had to say aggrievedly: "Mom, I didn't spend a penny randomly. This was all given to me by someone else. I can't eat it, so I can only respect your two elders."
After hearing Chen Ping's words, Zhao Yuexia immediately became worried and said to Chen Ping: "Chen Ping, you are not corruption or bribery, are you? Even though you are an official now, you must not do this! Your father and I are in good health, and we don't need to eat these things at all."
Chen Ping said amused and crying: "Mom, don't worry, your son is the rare good official today. How can he join the corrupt officials?"
Zhao Yuexia felt relieved when she heard Chen Ping say this. Then she looked at Chen Ping up and down a few more times, and then said with some dissatisfaction: "Didn't you let your child dress better? Why did you come back so casually?"
Facing his mother's blame, Chen Ping felt a little confused. He said, "Mom, I think I'm dressing well like this. Did some important guests come to our family?"
"That's not," Zhao Yuexia said, "It's your second aunt who is here, saying she wants to introduce you to a partner."
Blind date!
This was the first word that popped up in Chen Ping's head at that time. He really didn't expect that such an ancient thing would happen to him. No wonder his mother specifically told him to wear better clothes. It turned out that no matter whether things were successful or not, she hoped that his son could leave a good impression in the hearts of other girls. As for his second aunt, he was his mother's cousin named Zhao Wanzhen.
Speaking of Chen Ping's second aunt, he doesn't feel very good, because she is a relatively snobbish person. Generally, she will be close to you and anyone else when she is useful. Once it is useless, she will not pay attention to you. Today she came to help with a blind date, but I am afraid that she didn't know where she heard the news that she had a promising future, so she came out.
Chen Ping thought this way, and then said to Zhao Yuexia: "Mom, don't worry, even when I see the city party secretary and mayor, I wear this way, so there will definitely be no problem."
Zhao Yuexia glanced at her son and said, "How can it be the same? She must be formal when she meets the leader, but when she meets the girl, she must dress with a masculine look. I heard that girls are now eating this set."
Chen Ping couldn't say that his mother was so he had to urge him to go home. Chen Ping's parents' house was in a community north of the village. If he walked around the textile factory in the east, it was only about ten minutes away, which was much closer than when he was in the city before. When he entered the house, Chen Ping smelled a scent of dishes. Chen Ping knew that it was his father cooking. Chen Ping was about to go in to help, but he was stopped by his mother. Zhao Yuexia said: "Let your father cook, you can prepare it, how can you meet the girl later."
In response to this, Chen Ping could only nod awkwardly: "I understand, mom."
Then Chen Ping and Zhao Yuexia sat on the sofa and chatted. During the chat, Chen Ping knew that the second aunt introduced her to her niece, named Guo Tingping, who was a senior student at Shanghai International Studies University and was about to graduate.
Not long after Chen Ping and Zhao Yuexia were chatting, Chen Ping's second aunt Zhao Wanzhen came. As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Wanzhen said apologetically to Zhao Yuexia: "I'm so sorry, my niece can't come to class today. I'm so sorry. Next time, I will definitely choose a time she has time."
When Chen Ping heard Zhao Wanzhen's words, he immediately sneered. He was the one who had just come out of college, so how could he not know what happened in college? In addition to being at the first and second year of the freshman, he was basically in a state of stocking afterwards, especially when he was in his senior year, students had holidays every day.
In addition, Chen Ping was already very upset when he heard about Shangwai. Although he had never been to Shangwai in person, many people have heard that the girls there were all beautiful, but they were all very arrogant. If you don’t have four wheels of transportation, or if you don’t have at least six or seven deposits at home, they probably won’t look at you in front of you. So in Chen Ping’s opinion, the Miss Guo, who has been in Shanghai for four years, just heard that she went back to the countryside to go on a blind date. The boss was displeased, so she found an extremely bad excuse.
However, there was no need to expose him at this time, so Chen Ping did not speak, while his mother Zhao Yuexia said: "Wan Zhen, you are just talking about this. If you have any trouble at home, just forget it! Anyway, there will be a time to meet in the future, so you don't have to hurry up at this moment!"
When my mother spoke, Chen Ping agreed and said, "Yes, second aunt, it's good to be busy with her studies. Today I'll treat my second aunt to a simple meal, and it's the same!"
Zhao Wanzhen made a look that she had just seen Chen Ping's expression and said in surprise: "This is Chen Ping, it's true that she is a talented person! Sister, you have given birth to a good son!"
"Wanzhen, you are too rewarding," Zhao Yuexia said modestly, "Actually the girl you are going to introduce today is pretty good, and she is also very handsome."
"Of course," said Zhao Wanzhen, "If I don't deserve Chen Ping, how dare I get it to my elder sister to embarrass her!"
At this time, Chen Ping interrupted, "Second Aunt, don't say that. If she is really so outstanding, it will add too much psychological pressure to me."
Zhao Yuexia and Zhao Wanzhen laughed loudly after hearing this. After this politeness, Zhao Yuexia led Zhao Wanzhen into the house. After Chen Ping's father Chen Yuanshan cooked the dishes, the four of them sat around the table and had a meal. After the meal, when Zhao Wanzhen was about to leave, they apologized to Zhao Yuexia and Chen Yuanshan, and repeatedly expressed that they would definitely promote Chen Ping's blind date with her niece before leaving.
