MTL - Go Back To 1980 and Enjoy It-Chapter 6 blind date

Chapter 6 Blind Date

Shuangwang is a township. During the Republic of China, Shuangwang's territory belonged to Longtan District, Bobai County. After liberation in 1950, the township was evacuated and merged with Songshan District to form District 13. Shuangwang Township was established in January 1958. In August of the same year, it was merged with Songshan District. The townships were merged to form Songshan Commune.

  In September 1984, it was changed to Songshan Township. It was not until January 1986 that Shuangwang area was separated from Songshan Township and restored to Shuangwang Township. In August 1993, it was changed to Shuangwang Town.

It is now 1980. Although Shuangwang and Songshan merged to form Songshan Commune, Shuangwang Fair still exists, but its influence is relatively small. The number of people attending the fair in each fair period is only about a thousand, unlike the Longtan Fair next door. , the number of people rushing to the fair was as high as 20,000 to 30,000.

　　It was nearly eleven o'clock when Guan Yongying and Aunt Man arrived at Shuangwangwei.

Because the blind date came so suddenly, Guan Yongying, who was unprepared, felt a little panicked and kept holding Aunt Man's arm. It can be said that her nervousness was written on her face.

Upon seeing this, Aunt Guan patted her niece's hand and comforted her: "Yongying, you just made an appointment with him to meet him. He is not a man-eating tiger. What are you afraid of?"

Guan Yongying lowered his head and said: "It was so sudden. I was not mentally prepared at all. My dad also directly agreed to the matchmaker to arrange a meeting today. If I had waited a few days, I might not be as nervous as I am now." ”

Auntie Guan is someone who has been here before, so she naturally understands her niece's mood. She comforted her again: "Just pretend you don't know about this and treat him as a passerby, so you won't have any psychological burden."

After hearing this, Guan Yongying's nervousness eased a little. Next, she and Aunt Man went to the supply and marketing cooperative to say hello to Uncle Man, and then walked to the agreed meeting place.

 …

Under a big banyan tree diagonally opposite the entrance of Shuangwang Junior High School, Deng Changfu, wearing a clean blue dress, looked around excitedly, trying to find the girl he was dating among the crowd.

Deng Shirong couldn't help but smile when he saw this. It seemed that his grandnephew had long wanted to marry him. He smiled and said, "Changfu, this girl is thin-skinned. When you pass by here later, be careful not to stare at her all the time." ,do you know?"

 Dating in this era is very different from that in later generations.

 In later generations, the blind date was to directly set a location and then everyone would meet and chat. No matter men or women, there was nothing to be shy about.

But nowadays, the women on blind dates are extremely reserved. It is impossible to meet and chat with the man directly. Instead, they make an appointment at a place, like this big banyan tree, and then the woman passes by like a normal shopping trip and just looks at each other.

If you can't see clearly once or twice, then go back and forth a few more times. Anyway, since both parties have not made it clear, it won't be too embarrassing.

Deng Changfu nodded and said, "I understand Mr. Jiu."

Deng Changfu's mother also explained: "You just need to be careful about yourself. Don't scare other girls by staring, but you must see people clearly. After all, this is a major marriage matter, and you can't be careless."

Deng Changfu nodded again: "Mom, I understand!"

The time and place for the meeting had been agreed upon, so the three of them stood there and waited for a short time before Deng Shirong saw Guan Yongying walking past arm in arm with her Aunt Man.

Deng Shirong immediately nodded to her, and then reminded softly: "Changfu, people are here!"

Deng Changfu perked up after hearing this, and his eyes instantly locked on Guan Yongying.

Changfu’s mother also looked over with wide eyes.

At this time, Guan Yongying held Aunt Man's hand tightly, with a blush on her face. She didn't dare to look in the direction of the big banyan tree at all, but kept looking straight ahead, as if there was something attracting her ahead.

Of course, Guan Yongying did not dare to look at the big banyan tree, but as a person who had come before, Guan's aunt was naturally not as shy as a little girl. She first nodded to Deng Shirong, the matchmaker, as a greeting, and then her eyes stayed on Deng Changfu. .

In this way, there was no communication between the two parties, and it was a "passing by". After walking a little further, Aunt Guan asked: "Yongying, this young man looks as good as the matchmaker said, a tall and energetic young man. Did you just take a look?"

Guan Yongying quickly shook his head and said: "I was still too nervous just now and didn't dare to look over there."

Auntie Guan immediately comforted her and said, "It's okay. Let's walk back in a while and walk back and forth two or three times. We're not afraid of not being able to see clearly."

 On the other side, Deng Shirong asked: "Changfu, have you seen it clearly?"

Deng Changfu nodded and shook his head and said: "I have taken a rough look, but I have to take another look."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "It's okay, the girl will come back after a while, just pay attention!"

Changfu’s mother said: “I think she’s okay, she’s strong, she’s a fertile girl.”

Soon, Guan Yongying and her Aunt Man walked back hand in hand from the original road. This time, they were mentally prepared. She was not as nervous as the first time they passed by, and finally turned her head to take a look at the big banyan tree. Take a look.

This glance made Guan Yongying's heart beat faster. Deng Changfu's tall and majestic figure made him feel very safe, and his face was indeed as kind as the matchmaker said.

 This first impression made Guan Yongying satisfied.

 Eye rim is a very wonderful thing, especially when it comes to blind dates. The presence or absence of eye rim determines the possibility of two people getting along.

The so-called eye edge means that as soon as I see you, I want to open your eyes and get into your heart.

 Good eye contact is the kind of feeling of sympathy in which a woman will coquettishly call "Brother Sanzang" when she sees him, and a man will call him "Sister Chang'e" in a noisy manner.

Some people in later generations lamented that they passed by many people every day, and their clothes were all scratched, but there was still no spark.

It can be seen that things like eye rim are really destined by nature and cannot be overcome by human power.

Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying, a well-known model couple in the village in their previous life, were undoubtedly eye-catching. At this time, their eyes met inadvertently.

At this moment, the two of them felt as if they were electrocuted, and their hearts were filled with excitement.

 When Guan Yongying and her Aunt Man walked away again, Deng Shirong asked again: "How are you, Changfu? Can you see clearly this time?"

Deng Changfu came back to his senses and said in a somewhat excited tone: "See clearly, this girl is good, she is my type."

Deng Shirong was not surprised when he heard this. After all, they were a well-known model couple in the village. Falling in love at first sight was a basic thing. He asked: "Mother Changfu, what do you think?"

Changfu's mother said, "This girl is pretty good. I'm quite satisfied with it. Uncle Jiu, go and ask if she would like to go have lunch with her."

Deng Shirong smiled and nodded: "Okay, then you guys wait for me here first, and I'll go over and ask. I think it's fine."
