"Uncle, I'll wait for you at the bank gate on Xiangyang Road... OK... hurry up a little."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yang put his mobile phone into his pants pocket, held his hands in front of him and sighed and rubbed them in the way.
It's still a little cold after the Lantern Festival in the morning. What's more, he didn't wear gloves when riding an electric donkey just now.
He put his hand into his trousers pocket and watched the traffic on the road. It would be boring and he could not help thinking a lot.
He is 25 years old and has just graduated from social work for two years. He quit his job on impulse years ago. Now he has no car, no house and no savings.
I don't know how long later, when Lin Yang was a little collapsed, a white Bora slowly stopped in front of him.
"Xiao Yang!"
The passenger's window lowered and a face of more than thirty shouted at him.
He turned to himself, opened the door and got on, laughing and yelling, "Uncle."
After getting on the bus, Yang Xincheng first glanced at him and then said, "Didn't your mother tell you to go on a blind date today? Why don't you dress up nicely?"
Lin Yang looked at himself from side to side, then touched his hair and said, "Yes, I think it's OK now."
Although he didn't wear a suit and tie, he was decent, but he didn't seem to blow his hair in the morning, so he couldn't help it. He was used to staying at home for so long this New Year.
In contrast, his old uncle Yang Xincheng, although more than 30 people have been married and have children, his head is still polished with wax.
"When you go to the woman's house later, remember to be sweet and say more nice words. If the woman asks about you, she will blow her hat off..."
Yang Xincheng started the car and taught as an experienced person.
He has seven or eight percent confidence in Lin Yang's external conditions, but for his work income and family situation, Yang Xincheng feels a bit choked. After all, this is the case in the dating industry, where room, car and betrothal gifts are indispensable.
Along the way, Lin Yang smiled and nodded at his uncle's kind guidance from time to time, but his heart was always calm as usual, because he just came for a walk.
It is not that he has no confidence in himself, but that he has no intention of getting married so soon. Like many young men and women, he was forced by his parents to come on a blind date this time.
Since he returned home before the Spring Festival, he has finally agreed to come to the city for a blind date under the constant chanting of his parents. It is said that the woman was still his mother who managed to ask someone to introduce her.
Seven or eight minutes later, when Lin Yang felt his head was a little dizzy, he finally arrived at the community where the woman lived at the dating place.
After parking the car, Yang Xincheng bought a box of milk and a bag of fruit in the supermarket downstairs.
Lin Yang took the milk and fruit and said, "Uncle, please do me a favor this time."
"It's a family that doesn't bother. You are 25 years old now. You should think more about your parents. Don't let your mother worry so much...."
"So I came here this time."
Lin Yang answered with a smile, with a trace of helplessness in his tone.
Yang Xincheng obviously knows his character very well too. Seeing him like this, he puffed out a cigarette ring and didn't say anything more.
The two people took the elevator to the 23rd floor, and the woman's home was already waiting.
After entering the room, Lin Yang smiled and said hello on his own initiative, and then quickly entered into an awkward chat mode with the blind date, while the conversation between adults was handed over to Yang Xincheng.
After a brief self introduction, Lin Yang and his blind date went out for a walk when they talked about each other for a while.
The meaning is obvious. Let the two young people have a chat and see how it goes.
After leaving the house, they strolled around in the community downstairs.
It is still an awkward chat mode of checking the household registration. It is just a change from the topic of interests, personal experience, etc. to the work income, family situation, etc.
Lin Yang doesn't know what the other side knows about the situation. During the chat, he didn't cover up his own conditions too much, but as the chat gradually deepened, he could clearly feel that the other side's enthusiasm was diminishing, and he was already prepared for this situation.
After less than ten minutes of shopping, they finally had nothing to say.
....
On the way back, Yang Xincheng asked anxiously, "I think you talked very well. How is it going?"
Lin Yang said in silence, "Just like this."
"Is that so? Well, do you think you two can do this?"
"Uncle, you are not very old. How can you think like my mother? You can't meet her once." He curled his mouth in a low voice.
Even though he knew the result at the beginning, he was still helpless.
No way. Now, even in towns and villages, the woman will ask the man to have a car and a house in the city.
Lin Yang doesn't have a house or a car. Even if he looks good, but the conditions are poor, it's too normal to go on a blind date without being taken seriously.
"Tut tut..." Yang Xincheng lit a cigarette and said, "Are women now so resistant to looks?"
"I conquered your aunt just by virtue of my appearance."
When he said that, he threw out a smoke ring and recalled the past. Then he patted Lin Yang on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's OK. Next time you will definitely meet a girl who has been defeated by your appearance!"
Lin Yang shook his head with a wry smile. He didn't answer. Then he looked up and asked, "Uncle, will you go fishing later?"
"Next time, I just have something to do today."
Yang Xincheng took a look at him. Unexpectedly, he was not only sad, but also wanted to go fishing.
Speaking of fishing, he brought Lin Yang into the pit.
Back to the original place, Lin Yang gets off the bus, and Yang Xincheng drives to work.
Lin Yang rode his little electric donkey, but instead of going home directly, he stopped on a town street between his home and the downtown.
When he went out in the morning, he left his fishing tools in a fishing gear shop in the town, so he was prepared for fishing today, and the blind date was just an accident.
The owner of the fishing gear shop, surnamed Li, has bought all the fishing gear bait and nest materials here since he went fishing in the pit. They are familiar with each other, and storing tools is not worth mentioning.
Taking fishing tools and buying a bag of bait, Lin Yang rode an electric donkey to Xiangyang Dam.
Since he came into contact with fishing, he has gradually become addicted to this leisure way, which is a bit addictive.
