Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 30 When the blind date is going on

Entering Yongsheng Village, Malan and Zhang Peng walked to the gate of a fenced courtyard and stopped. Malan shouted at the gate of the courtyard, and the dogs in the courtyard barked. Then a woman walked out of the house. Although there were some patches on the clothes, they were kept clean.

"Oh, here she is, Aunt Ma," Lan Guihua said enthusiastically, and then looked at Zhang Peng from head to toe.

"Ah, sister, we have just arrived. Where is Xiaomei at home?" Malan asked with a smile.

"Well, I'm at home, waiting for you to come. Is this the second son of the Zhang family?" Lan Guihua asked with a smile.
"Hello, aunt, I'm Zhang Peng." Zhang Peng took a step forward. Because he was so familiar, he didn't have any stage fright.

"Well, okay, okay, her aunt and Xiaopeng should come in quickly, let's chat in the house." Lan Guihua looked at the energetic young man in front of her and said to the two of them with satisfaction.
Then the three of them walked into the yard together, and then Zhang Peng took a quick step to open the door in advance, and then waited for Lan Guihua and Malan to go in before following in. Lan Guihua was even more satisfied when she saw the situation. The details showed that this child He is well-educated and has a good family education.

When Zhang Peng entered the house, he saw a familiar scene. It seemed that nothing had changed after so many years. First, after entering the door, there was the stove and kitchen. The stove was connected to the earthen kang in the east room, which was called the outhouse in the northeast. Then he walked inside. On the right side is a door curtain. Open the door curtain and you will find the east room.

Entering the east room, Zhang Peng put the things he brought next to the door. He turned around and saw a girl with two big pigtails sitting on the edge of the kang. When he saw someone entering the room, he quickly got up and then called out with a smile. "Auntie", then secretly glanced at Zhang Peng with the corner of his eyes, looking very shy.

"Ah, Xiaomei, this is Zhang Peng. I've brought someone here. Let's talk. Your mother and I have something to talk about." After Ma Lan finished speaking, she smiled and walked out with Lan Guihua.
Li Chunmei felt very embarrassed now because it was her first blind date and she didn't know what to talk about. She just asked Zhang Peng to sit down first, then lowered her head and twirled her braid with her hands. She just took a sneak peek and thought Zhang Peng was pretty good-looking. , the temperament is also very good, she felt very satisfied at first sight.

Zhang Peng didn't have anything to be embarrassed about. Everything seemed familiar to him. Looking at his young wife in front of him, thinking about his helpless wife who couldn't stand up straight due to the burden of the family in his previous life, Zhang Peng felt guilty. , and also in a trance.Neither of them spoke, and the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Li Chunmei waited for a while and saw that Zhang Peng didn't speak, so she summoned up the courage to ask, "Don't you have anything to say?"

"Ah? Oh, I'm sorry, I just got distracted." Zhang Peng woke up at this time. This is no longer the past life. He can change his current life, make up for the regrets of his previous life, make his wife live a comfortable life, and make his children healthy and happy. growing up.

Thinking of this, Zhang Peng was in a good mood and smiled at Li Chunmei and said: "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhang Peng. I am 20 years old. There are six people in my family. The eldest sister is married and I have two younger sisters. Everyone in my family is very easy to get along with, you will know when you come in. I mainly go to the mountains now, and I want to do some side business in the future."

Li Chunmei's face turned red when she heard that she had passed the door. She spat lightly and said shyly: "Who wants to pass the door? You know how to talk nonsense."

Seeing his wife's shy look, Zhang Peng found it very interesting, so he smiled and said: "When we get married, won't you just pass by?"

After hearing this, Li Chunmei was even more shy and couldn't raise her head. Zhang Peng saw that she was shy and stopped teasing her, and asked: "What about you, introduce yourself too, we need to get to know each other."

After hearing this, Li Chunmei raised her head and rolled her eyes at Zhang Peng, calmed down her mood, and then said: "My name is Li Chunmei, and my family calls me Xiaomei. I am 19 this year. There is a prerequisite for my marriage, that is, I must take care of myself properly after getting married. My mother and my brother, because my father left early, it was my mother who raised us siblings. She worked so hard. When I get married, I will definitely not be able to do it without anyone at home to help me, so I will have to do it when I get married. Take care of your family, I have to tell you this in advance." Li Chunmei raised her head and looked into Zhang Peng's eyes, which were full of determination.

Zhang Peng looked into her eyes, without any hesitation, and said very sincerely: "I understand everything you said. Don't worry, filial piety has been the first priority since ancient times. Your family's affairs are my business, and I will do my best." He works hard to help our family. Can you believe it? I feel like we have known each other for two lifetimes."

Li Chunmei was very moved when she heard what Zhang Peng said before. She felt that she finally had someone to rely on, but she was a little confused about the last sentence.
Have we known each other before?Looking at Zhang Peng with some confusion, Zhang Peng smiled and said nothing.

Then the two chatted for a while and felt very happy. At this time, Lan Guihua and Malan also walked in. They saw the two talking and laughing. The two looked at each other with a smile in their eyes, and then Lan Guihua came I asked Zhang Peng to sit down first and eat here at noon.

When Zhang Peng heard that this was recognition, he stood up happily and wanted to help with the meal. Lan Guihua quickly stopped him. This was the first time that he came here and there was no way for the guests to do anything.

He just called Li Chunmei to help, and asked his aunt and Zhang Peng to sit in the room, saying that they would just wait for the meal.Ma Lan and Zhang Peng didn't move forward, but they still had some foresight.After all, mother and daughter have something to say in private while cooking.

Zhang Peng and Malan sat on the kang, eating melon seeds and chatting.

"How's it going? Erxiaoer, are you satisfied with this girl?" Malan asked with a smile.
"Hehe, it's pretty good, so I think it's suitable." Zhang Peng scratched his head in a naive manner.

"Okay, as long as it's suitable. This family is going through life. How about the third aunt introduce it to you. Let's take care of it first. Later, the third aunt will eat your wedding candies." Ma Lan said with a smile in his eyes.
"Well, okay, thank you, third aunt." Zhang Peng quickly thanked

When Zhang Peng and Ma Lan were chatting in the room, Di Lan Guihua in the outer room also asked in a low voice about her impression of Zhang Peng. Li Chunmei said that it was okay, but she just concealed her request for Zhang Peng. Lan Guihua After hearing this, she also laughed and praised Zhang Peng, saying that he was energetic, polite and had a good tutor. She was also very satisfied.

After a while, it felt like the meal was almost ready. Zhang Peng hurried to the outhouse to help. He brought the Kang table in and put it on the Kang. The bowls and chopsticks were also placed. When Lan Guihua opened the lid of the pot, the rice was ready. It's good.

Lan Guihua also worked hard for this meal. In the morning, she and her neighbor exchanged grain for small fish, a bowl of braised pork, potatoes and eggplant stewed in meat oil, a cold dish, and an egg and persimmon soup, the staple food. It's steamed buns with mixed noodles. This vegetable meal is quite good. It shows that Lan Guihua attaches great importance to her and her character. She doesn't want people to look down upon her because of her family's difficulties.

The four of them all enjoyed the meal, and Lan Guihua's craftsmanship was not to mention. Zhang Peng was not polite and even ate two large mixed noodles. Lan Guihua was also happy to see it. Firstly, it was recognition of her craftsmanship. Second, I feel that Zhang Peng is real and not vain.

After the meal, the two sat for a while and then left. Lan Guihua and Li Chunmei took them to the entrance of the hospital, then turned around and walked back when they saw them walking away.
