Chapter 174 Smiling a bit silly
The first ray of sunshine in the morning awakened Mei Mu, a hardworking and clean country woman.
After washing up, Mei's mother started cleaning from the bedroom and continued to the kitchen. She hung up the clothes, but her baby daughter was still sleeping soundly.
Yesterday, her daughter made a small wish to her, saying that she wanted to eat fried noodles in the town in the morning. After cleaning the house, Mei's mother rode her donkey to the town.
"Ling'er's mother, are you here to buy breakfast too?" Mei's mother, who was queuing to pay, turned around and saw that it was Pan, the matchmaker who introduced Mei Ling'er to a boyfriend. A smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Yes, my daughter came back yesterday and she wanted to eat fried noodles, so I came to buy it for her."
After hearing what Mei's mother said, Pan Mei clapped her hands excitedly and said, "What a coincidence! How about asking Xiaowei to ask Ling'er out for dinner?"
Mei's mother was embarrassed. On the one hand, she thought it would be nice for the two children to meet, but on the other hand, she was worried that her daughter would be unhappy after coming back to relax. But since the other party had proposed it, she couldn't refuse directly. After thinking for a moment, she said:
"My daughter said she's back and wants to visit a classmate. I don't know when she'll be back. You can ask Xiaowei to try. I'm not sure if the timing will work out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Media immediately called Xiaowei's father. His tone was excited and he could not refuse. After getting a satisfactory answer, he hung up the phone.
"Don't worry, I've just made an appointment with Xiaowei's father. Xiaowei will definitely ask Ling'er out for dinner and a chat!"
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before leaving the breakfast shop.
"Ling'er, get up and eat fried noodles!"
Mei Ling'er was actually awake, but she didn't get up. Instead, she lay in bed and browsed her phone. After reading her Moments, she looked at her Weibo, and then at her Moments.
Ding Dong! There's a new WeChat message!
Mei Linger opened it and saw a message from her blind date:
"I heard you're back. Do you have time to have dinner together today?"
"I can pick you up."
Mei Ling'er was just wondering who leaked the news, but she understood immediately when she heard her mother's voice.
She took the fried noodles from her mother's hand with an unhappy look on her face and ate it in one bite.
Mmm! That’s the taste!
What could be unhappy about eating the food you wanted?
"Ahem!" Mei Ling'er cleared her throat. "Mom, that blind date you introduced me to earlier asked me out for dinner... How did he know I was back?"
Mei's mother was charging her electric scooter. When she heard her daughter's question, she paused for a moment, then turned around and complained with an evasive look in her eyes:
"Oh my! It must be that matchmaker Pan. She talks so fast!"
"I was buying fried noodles at the breakfast shop this morning, and she happened to be there too. Then we were chatting in the shop, and I told her I bought fried noodles for you as breakfast."
After saying this, Mei's mother stole a few glances at her daughter. Seeing that Mei Ling'er didn't look unhappy, she plugged in the charger and walked over.
"Didn't you say you were going to visit your classmates when you came home this time? Do you still have time to have dinner with Xiaowei today?"
Mei Ling'er put down her chopsticks, her mouth full of fried noodles, and murmured teasingly, "Xiao Wei? You call him Mom so affectionately. Are you very familiar with him?"
Mei's mother's face turned pale and blue. She was so angry at her precious daughter that she couldn't say anything for a long time.
Mei Ling'er finished eating most of the fried noodles. Seeing her mother stand up to pour her some water, her heart softened. She wiped her mouth with a tissue:
"My classmate said she didn't have time to see me, and since they had already made an appointment with me and I was at home, it would be rude not to go."
Mei's mother knew that her daughter had agreed to have dinner with the other party, and she hummed a little tune happily.
Mei Ling'er took a big gulp of water and hurriedly stuffed the remaining fried noodles into her mouth. Her blind date had asked her to have lunch together, and since it was already around ten in the morning, she had to hurry and get dressed.
Mei Ling'er kept urging the online car-hailing driver along the way and finally arrived at the restaurant at the agreed time.
Because it was lunchtime on a weekday, the restaurant was quite empty, and she recognized the person she was going to have lunch with immediately. He wasn't on his phone, but sat there quietly with his back straight, looking very nervous.
He is an ordinary-looking, calm and energetic young man. This is Mei Ling'er's first impression of her blind date.
The girl took out a small mirror from her bag and carefully checked her makeup. After confirming that there was no powder stuck on her face and no mess on her teeth, she slowly walked over:
"Hello, I'm Mei Ling'er."
The man stood up immediately upon hearing the sound and pulled a chair for Mei Ling'er.
After Mei Ling'er sat down, he handed her the menu:
"I don't know what you like to eat, so you can order some."
Mei Linger smiled slightly and took the menu. She looked up at the man and said, "Then you..."
"I eat everything. You don't have to worry about me. Just order whatever you want."
The dishes were served very quickly. In less than twenty minutes, the three dishes and one soup we ordered were all served.
Mei Ling'er was trying hard to restrain herself because she didn't expect the food in this restaurant to be so delicious. Moreover, she had just eaten a large portion of fried noodles two hours ago and she thought her stomach couldn't hold much more food.
Unexpectedly, the food in this restaurant whetted her appetite again, and the white rice in her bowl was almost finished.
She secretly glanced at the other man's rice bowl and found that the man hadn't even finished half of his meal. Mei Ling'er almost dropped her chopsticks on the ground. She was such a big eater...
The girl sat up straight, her mind searching for various topics to talk about. She needed to talk more and eat less.
As a result, during the meal, the other party didn't say much, and it was Mei Ling'er who was talking all the time.
But Mei Linger achieved her goal. The man ate more than her at this meal. When they were almost done, the man received a call. From the tone of the other party, it seemed that there was a serious trouble and he needed to go back to help solve it.
After the man hung up the phone, he looked at Mei Ling'er embarrassedly.
"Sorry, something urgent happened at the company, so I have to leave first." Then he added, "How many days will you stay in your hometown this time? Can I make an appointment with you in the next few days?"
Mei Linger smiled, neither agreeing nor refusing: "We've almost finished eating anyway, go do your thing first, and we'll talk when you're done."
The man paid the bill before leaving and ordered a bowl of the store's specialty fruit yogurt for Mei Ling'er, asking her to eat it before leaving.
After her blind date came downstairs, Mei Ling'er stared at the oleander on the roadside through the window.
The man next to the car on the side of the road seemed to sense something, turned around and looked up. After meeting Mei Ling'er's eyes, the man raised his right hand and swung it vigorously.
Mei Ling'er couldn't help laughing, thinking that the other party was a little silly.
But the other person didn't know what the girl was thinking, so he started laughing too.
