Chapter 617: 617. The blind date arrives_1 Chapter 617: 617. The blind date arrives_1 Song Tan had just gotten home when Wu Lan hustled over excitedly, “So? Did the girl show up yet?”

It seems gossip is truly part of human nature, irresistible!

Song Tan checked the time, “What time is it? It’s impossible for a guest to arrive first thing in the morning.”

Wu Lan sighed, “That’s true, but it’s so hot, isn’t it? Just asking.”

Then, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, eyeing Song Tan from head to toe, “You shouldn’t need me to arrange dates for you, right? Sigh, your grandma is right, it doesn’t matter if it’s from Imperial City or anywhere else, just go ahead if you get along.”

Song Tan: …

She immediately hung her head, looking like a wilted white flower, “Mom, what if I get scrutinized by the parents of others…”

“Tsk!” Wu Lan became anxious just imagining it:

“Who do they think they are to scrutinize you?! I’m telling you, the internet is right! When you’re young, you should earn more money. With more money, you can date older men, and save yourself the trouble of those oddballs shamelessly showing up…”

???

Older men?

Song Tan inhaled sharply, “Is mom that open-minded?!”

So she tentatively asked, “Mom, by older men, do you mean…”

Wu Lan responded as if it was obvious, “Isn’t it just men’s university? All men, there must be plenty of great guys! And I heard girl’s colleges are full of nobles too.”

Song Tan: …

Although she misunderstood, she was also not wrong. And what’s this about men’s universities and women’s universities?

Song Tan pondered, “Mom, have you been watching those overbearing CEO series lately?”

That sounded suspiciously like the setup in those old-school CEO novels.

Wu Lan “hmm’d” affirmatively, “Your dad listens every day, even bought a membership. I figured he’s quite the spender, so I got a membership too! The website recommended this to me, and it is quite… *cough*, I didn’t listen much, just when I’m working around the house.”

“The main thing is, the membership costs just ten or twenty a month, it’d be a loss not to listen to more.”

Song Tan: … As long as you’re happy.

…

Meanwhile, Li Lanhua waited anxiously, wiping around the house several times, mopping the concrete floor spotlessly clean, even taking apart and washing the fan.

Not to mention Zhou Tianyu’s room, it was tidied up so thoroughly that no dust could be seen, and she wouldn’t even let him enter!

Zhou Tianyu: … I just wanted to charge my phone!

At that moment, Li Lanhua regretted, “Ah! If only I had installed an air conditioner!”

When Zhou Tianyu suggested getting one for the house last year, she didn’t agree, telling her son to save the money…

Now look where that got them, entertaining guests in the heat of summer without an air conditioner, and the son didn’t manage to save the money either, definitely a significant loss.

However, fortunately, the houses in the village were built tall, the living room nearly three to four meters in height, and the breeze cooled things down, making it bearable after sitting for a while.

Thinking of the watermelon and tomatoes in the fridge, she somewhat calmed herself down.

If guests arrived and complained about the lack of air conditioning, at least Song Tan’s delicious watermelon could be served immediately, icy cold and sweet–sure to foster a bit of goodwill.

And yeah, she had to remind Maozhu, “If there’s no male guest coming to keep you company later, take the initiative to cut the watermelon. Let them see, we don’t treat our men like treasures.”

“Right, cut the watermelon into smaller pieces, don’t slice them too long, forcing people to hold the rind with both hands… The girls are delicate and dainty, too big would be inconvenient for them to eat.”

It’s clear that Li Lanhua is really meticulous!

Zhou Tianyu was truly helpless, “Mom, didn’t you say we should just go with fate? You’re getting so tense when the person hasn’t even arrived yet… It’s really not necessary! What if they don’t like me?”

“You can’t put it that way.”

Li Lanhua glanced at her son and wanted to sigh, “Look at me and your dad, we’re both just average looking, and you didn’t inherit anything good… When a girl sees you for the first time, that first impression might easily be bad.”

Zhou Tianyu: …You might as well just say I’m ugly!

But when he looked at himself in the mirror-definitely not handsome, his face also a bit square, and he looked a little haggard… but not ugly, right?!

Li Lanhua was also trying to teach her son, carefully saying at the moment, “Fortunately, everyone says that looks are not important for boys-as long as you’re healthy, growing up to be anything is fine, once a girl has feelings, she won’t be picky.”

Zhou Tianyu: …What? Am I a deep-sea fish, growing randomly because no one sees me?

“This is when details matter. We have to show our sincerity, whether we care or not, whether we can take care of someone… Even if we’re poor, if we get the details right, the girl will still be happy.”

Furthermore…

Li Lanhua muttered, “Even if this doesn’t work out, Aunt Chen knows a lot of people. Seeing our sincere intention to find a daughter-in-law, and our good attitude, she will definitely introduce us to another nice girl next time!”

While they were talking, Aunt Chen came over wearing a hat, “Lanhua, the girl said the weather is too hot, her parents have had a heat cold for several days and are afraid of getting sunstroke.”

Li Lanhua’s heart skipped a beat-don’t tell me she’s not coming?

However, she then heard Aunt Chen say,

“The girl said, since you’re also in a hurry on your side, she will come by herself. She was worried you might think she’s not giving it importance, so she asked me to tell you in advance, and I’ll keep her company today…”

“Oh my!”

Li Lanhua’s emotions surged like a roller coaster, now only left with joy. Naturally, she found everything pleasing to the eye, thinking the girl was quite straightforward! And careful in her arrangements, a filial person to boot!

How come everyone else’s child is so outstanding?

It was a bit disappointing that her parents weren’t coming, but since she was coming alone, after all, she was young. With Aunt Chen nudging from the side, wouldn’t it be even easier to succeed?

At this moment, she smiled even more generously, “Sister-in-law Chen, since it’s your introduction, you should be here to accompany the guests… Come come come, sit by the fan!”

“It’s all my fault for being in such a hurry, it was just ill-timed… And here I am, feeling a bit bad that the girl didn’t mind it at all.”

While saying this, Zhou Maozhu also instructed his son, “Quickly pour tea for your aunt! Use that special tea leaves! The ones you give as gifts.”

For this matchmaking meeting, their family really went all out!

Zhou Tianyu shuddered at the mention of the tea leaves.

Now, as he grabbed the tea leaves, he felt as if he were holding strands of gold, taking a long time to brew and finally serving it.

Aunt Chen was actually teasing Li Lanhua, “We see each other every day, why be so formal? Don’t fuss over me, Wu Lan’s big water jug at home is also steeped with tea leaves… Aiyoyo, it’s too fragrant!”

As she lifted her cup, “Look, I finished packing spice bags this morning, and she even filled a cup for me!”

At the same time, she sighed, “It’s a pity, I was planning to buy some. She said it was expensive and out of stock. Have to wait for the autumn tea.”

Upon hearing this, Li Lanhua knew that Song Tan’s family wasn’t planning to hide the price anymore, and now she started laughing heartily,

“Really out of stock, they were booked early on-and even if there were any, you couldn’t afford it, ten thousand yuan per half kilogram!”

Zhou Tianyu, who was just bringing up the tea, shuddered again.

Aunt Chen was also stunned, “What? Ten thousand?!”
