A life of financial freedom

Night.

Chu Fang drove his mother to a class reunion.

Because she hadn't seen her old classmates for decades, Chu's mother seemed particularly lively and excited, chattering to her children about the things in the old school.

When they arrived at the destination, Chu Fang reached out and took out a coat for his mother to put on. It was October and the weather in Shanghai was getting colder, so she didn't want to catch a cold.

"Mom, don't drink when you get inside. Try to sit with familiar classmates. You have common topics and chat happily. When facing unfamiliar classmates, you should be more natural and pretend to remember them to avoid embarrassment..."

What does it feel like to have a simple-minded mother, just like Chu Fang's now, explaining the details of the reunion bit by bit, for fear that his mother would not handle the relationship with classmates well and make his mother unhappy.

There is a poem called, "A mother worries about her son even if he travels a thousand miles away."

But between them, "A mother worries about her son even if he travels a hundred meters away."

Chu's mother put on her coat and took his arm: "Since you are worried about me, let's go in together."

"I won't bother you."

"It's okay, other students have children with them anyway..." Chu's mother answered subconsciously. When she was about to finish her words, she suddenly realized that she had made a mistake. She covered her mouth, shook his arm, and said in a coquettish tone: "Go ahead, go in with me."

Chu Fang raised his eyebrows: "Mom, did you do something bad?"

"No, 100% not."

Every time you deny 100%, you are 100% sure... Chu Fang knows his mother too well, and he can't learn to lie at all. Although he feels something is wrong, he still nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, Chu's mother smiled happily, and the two walked into the restaurant together.

Entering the restaurant, Chu Fang's eyes were filled with obvious surprise. There were many middle-aged men and women of the same age as Chu's mother in the restaurant. They should be his classmates, but the middle-aged men and women were accompanied by one or two boys and girls of the same age as Chu Fang, and their faces were somewhat similar.

He tilted his head and looked at his mother, while the latter shrank her neck, trying not to look at the former, and looked around excitedly.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he shouted to a middle-aged woman next to him: "Minmin."

The middle-aged woman was about forty years old, with a vicissitudes of life, not still, dressed appropriately, and the color matching was just right.

And there was a girl holding the arm of a decent middle-aged woman, with delicate features, fair skin, and a flowing long skirt that was fashionable and elegant. She wore a delicate bracelet and shining earrings.

"Lan Yufang?" The middle-aged woman looked at Chu's mother carefully and asked in confusion.

"Yes, it's me." Chu's mother nodded repeatedly, excited, "I haven't seen you for decades, and you are still so beautiful."

"You haven't changed at all." The middle-aged woman Minmin replied softly, somewhat unbelievably about the youth of her old classmate.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay." Chu's mother was quite embarrassed and wanted to be modest, but her old classmate was indeed a little older than herself, and modesty was too hypocritical, so she had to respond awkwardly.

Looking at the girl next to the old classmate, she pulled Chu Fang's arm and said with a smile: "This is my son, Chu Fang. Good boy... Chu Fang, this is your Aunt Li Min, an old classmate of your mother."

"Aunt Li Min." Chu Fang greeted.

"Handsome boy." Li Min looked at him and couldn't help but sigh. She pushed the beautiful girl next to her and introduced: "This is my daughter, Liu Siyi."

The two sides introduced each other and had a brief understanding. Chu's mother and Aunt Li Min went upstairs to meet other old classmates, leaving Chu Fang and Liu Siyi alone.

Chu Fang turned his neck and observed the surrounding environment. On the second floor, Chu Ma's old classmates gathered, chatting and laughing from time to time, while on the first floor, there were boys and girls brought by old classmates. They were almost the same age, talking quietly, and presented in pairs of boys and girls.

Looking at the embarrassed faces of the boys and girls, it was obviously the first time they met.

Combined with Chu Ma's little thoughts, Chu Fang suddenly understood the content of today's class reunion.

It turned out that the real purpose was not to drink, but to tie the red thread and be the matchmaker.

A large blind date banquet.

"No wonder you insisted on pulling me in just now, you didn't have good intentions." Chu Fang looked up at Chu Ma on the second floor.

Chu Ma was chatting with Aunt Li Min. She noticed the gaze below and threw an awkward smile to her biological son, then shook her head and chatted with her old classmate Li Min.

"Minmin, do you remember our previous agreement? If the children we have are of opposite sex, we will become relatives."

"Hehe." Li Min smiled with wrinkled face, but did not answer, but asked: "Are you still in your hometown now?"

"Yes." Chu's mother answered honestly, "You all left, only ILiving in my hometown, I usually play mahjong with a few sisters. "

With the development of the economy, people in towns and villages have bought houses in the city and moved into the city. Only a few poor villagers can't afford to buy houses in the city and can only live in towns and villages.

Most of Chu's mother's classmates have left the towns and moved to the city. Some, like Li Minqiaochu, have even settled down in the Magic City, which is quite impressive.

"Well..." Hearing this, Li Min pursed her lips and said slowly: "We were too young back then and didn't understand the world. It was really wrong to make promises casually. Marriage is the child's own business. We adults can't interfere too much. It all depends on the wishes of the two children. Don't you think so?"

"Yes, just get to know each other and add contact information. What's wrong with you, Minmin?" Chu's mother was confused.

"It's okay." Li Min shook her head and stared at Chu Fang downstairs, "Your son is very handsome. He should have been in contact with many girls. ”

“No, my Guaiguai is a good child... ...”

Just when Chu's mother wanted to explain her child's character, Li Min interrupted her: "I'm really sorry, my Siyi is not worthy of your Chu Fang."

"Ah?" Chu's mother was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand, "It's okay, my Guaiguai is indeed very good."

"..."

There were obvious signs of twitching at the corners of Li Min's mouth.

... ...

While Chu's mother and Li Min were chatting, Chu Fang retracted her gaze and took the initiative to say to the beauty in front of her: "You are very beautiful."

"Thank you." Liu Siyi nodded gently, turned off her mobile phone, adjusted her skirt, and finally looked at him straight in the eye, with a glimmer in her eyes, and said slowly: "Uh... ..I'm sorry to disappoint you. I participated in this blind date meeting today just to complete my mother's task, and I don't have any plans to fall in love for the time being."

"Disappointed? Not disappointed, not disappointed. "Hearing this, Chu Fang replied, "I was tricked by my mother to come here today, otherwise I would have been waiting outside and was too lazy to come in."
