Picked up a queen at the start

Chapter 50

But even if he knew that there was a fire pit in front of him, he still had to answer the call bravely.

After coughing slightly, Ji Qinglin continued to laugh and said, "Mom, what's going on?"

"How is your store's business lately?" Liu Yanfei asked with a smile.

Thinking of the copper coins he had just sold, Ji Qinglin was instantly confident: "Very good, I just made a small [-] yuan."

"Yo!" Liu Yanfei was obviously surprised and said in disbelief: "You didn't lie to me, did you?"

With a chuckle, Ji Qinglin said cheerfully: "Am I going to lie to you about this? I'll transfer some living expenses to you later."

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the phone.

Just when Ji Qinglin thought that his mother didn't believe it, there was another excited shout on the phone that made him dumbfounded.

"Old Ji, your son has earned 2 yuan, and he will pay me living expenses in a while!"

"Really? Did you really make money?"

"Your son said it himself, if you don't believe me, ask?"

"I won't ask, you let him take care of himself, save the money if he has it, don't spend it recklessly!"

"Yes, I have to remind him a few words!"

Unable to hide an excited smile, Liu Yanfei put the phone to his ear again.

"Xiao Lin, did you hear what your dad said, save the money, don't spend it recklessly!"

"Understood!" Facing his mother's rare and affectionate address, Ji Qinglin sighed with emotion.

From now on, I finally don't need to be told by my mother that "this is not a serious job" all day long.

But just when he was also happy, Liu Yanfei suddenly changed the subject.

With a smile, she happily told the real purpose of today's call.

"Xiao Lin, you've made money, and you'll have more confidence in your work if you talk about it!"

"It just so happens that your Auntie Hu introduced me to a pretty nice girl recently. She works as a teacher, has a stable job, has a quiet personality, and looks pretty good."

"When are you free, hurry up and come back to meet with me!".
Upon hearing this, the smile on Ji Qinglin's face faded instantly.

have to.

It's time to come.

Sighing, he said without hesitation: "Mom, I don't have time."

Raising her eyebrows, Liu Yanfei immediately became unhappy.

"Just one meal, you don't have any time?"

"For this meal, I may lose thousands of dollars."

"Stop bluffing me." Annoyed, Liu Yanfei interrupted, "I think you just don't want to eat this meal!"

"Mom, to be precise, I don't want to go on a blind date." Ji Qinglin sighed.

If it was a serious meal, how could I resist it so much.

Scratching his head, he continued, "To be honest, Mom, your son is only 23, and I'm still seven years away from my best time at 30. It's not that I can't find someone, why am I so anxious to go on a blind date?"

"You're not in a hurry." With a cold snort, Liu Yanfei immediately said, "But your father and I are in a hurry!"

"You are 30 years old, which is a great age. But in seven years, your father is 53, and I am fifty."

"Wait two more years for you to have a child, and I will be 52 and three years old."

"By then, it won't be easy for me to babysit your child!"

After talking about it, Liu Yanfei continued, "Can't you let us hug our grandchildren and enjoy family happiness earlier?"

Facing his mother's accusation of "unfilial piety", Ji Qinglin said silently: "Mom, according to big data, you are officially old at the age of 60, and after another ten years, you will only be considered old."

"Don't talk about these things with me!"

Obviously annoyed and reprimanded, Liu Yanfei immediately said: "Anyway, I don't care, the little girl introduced by your Aunt Hu, you must come back and have a meal with her!"

"If you don't eat this meal, don't come back during the Chinese New Year!"

"mom……"

Faced with such a threat, Ji Qinglin felt a headache.

That was why he was now afraid to answer the phone at home.

When I was in school, it was my mother who didn't let me fall in love.

Now the one who forced me to go on a blind date was also my mother.

When my cousin encountered this situation before, he would still joke about it.

really.

All the mothers in the world have the same attitude on this matter.

In fact, I don't resist finding a partner.

But I really don't like the method of blind date.

Two strangers who didn't know anything well, with the intention of falling in love and getting married, they sat together awkwardly and stared at each other while eating.

Occasionally ask "how much is your salary", or "what are your hobbies".

This kind of thing makes me get goosebumps when I think about it.

And according to my own understanding of my mother.

As long as this matter starts, if she doesn't find a suitable one, she will find someone for a blind date every three days.

Then my leisurely days will come to an end.

If you want my mother to calm down, you must completely kill her idea of ​​letting me go on a blind date...

His eyes darkened, Ji Qinglin turned his head thoughtfully, and looked at Xia Yao who was blinking at him.

"Mom, wait for me."

After saying something into the phone, he temporarily turned off the mute, and pulled Xia Yao aside.

"I'm in trouble and need your help."

"What's the trouble?"

"My mother forced me to find a woman."

"???"

Hearing this, Xia Yao's eyes widened in astonishment.

Looking for a woman?
With a blink of her phoenix eyes, she hesitated and said, "Are you going to a brothel to find a woman?"

"Of course not!" Shaking his head speechlessly, Ji Qinglin explained in detail: "They forced me to meet a woman, and then arranged for us to get married."

"So that's how it is." Xia Yao muttered suddenly, then frowned and said, "But what trouble is it?"

In her view, this kind of thing is very normal.

Because in ancient times, marriages were arranged by parents alone.

After hearing this news, why do I feel a little unhappy?
Quietly covering her heart with one hand, Xia Yao frowned suspiciously.

Ji Qinglin didn't notice, and continued to explain: "Because I don't want to get married in this forced way."

"But my mother is a person who has a first time, a second time and a third time."

"As long as I don't decide who to marry, she will definitely force me to meet different women all the time."

"So... how do you want me to help you?" Xia Yao put away the inexplicable discomfort in her heart and asked in confusion.

Taking a deep breath, Ji Qinglin seemed to have made up his mind, and said solemnly: "So, I hope you can pretend to be my girlfriend for the time being, and dispel the idea of ​​my mother.".
As soon as Ji Qinglin said this, the store fell silent instantly.

Xia Yao's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, but she couldn't tell what expression she had.

Even Uncle He stopped what he was doing, pricked up his ears, and looked over in surprise.

Ji Qinglin also knew that his request was sudden and needed a detailed explanation.

"Uncle He, come on, let's go up and talk about something." Shouting to Uncle He, he hurriedly led Xia Yao upstairs.

On the phone, my mother’s urging voice came from time to time.
