An older single woman meets a domineering CEO on a blind date

My mother was stunned for a long moment, then turned around and stared at the candles in a daze.

Maybe she was too surprised, she just stood there stupidly and didn't go in.

I couldn't bear it any longer, so I reached out and pushed her in. I said, "Happy anniversary, Mom! Dad is waiting for you upstairs, please don't let him down."

Before my mother could come to her senses, I had already closed the door.

But why? Why do I suddenly feel like crying? It feels like something is stuck in my throat.

I stared at the door of my house for a while, and prayed silently in my heart that they would reconcile after tonight.

Just when I was in a daze, the uncle patted my shoulder from behind and said: "Why are you standing at the door like an idiot? Are you acting as a door god?"

I turned around and looked at him, and was suddenly very moved. I rushed over and hugged him, and said: Husband, thank you!

He hugged me and said: You're welcome! Little thing, I'm almost exhausted. This whole day has been like a fight. Although it's later than expected, fortunately it's done.

I hugged him tightly and said: Thank you for your hard work, husband.

He said: I don’t care, you have to give me a massage at night.

I said: Okay, I will massage you until you feel comfortable.

He looked at me and smiled, and I stood on tiptoe and kissed him.

He let me go and took my hand and walked around to the front of my house.

I pointed at the lamp in front of my dad's bedroom and said: Wow, why does this star lamp look so beautiful when it lights up at night?

The curtains in my house are two-layered, a lace layer on the outside and a thick curtain on the inside. The star-shaped lights are hung in the middle of the two layers of curtains. Only a layer of lace curtains is drawn in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the thick curtains on the inside are not drawn.

The star lights flicker through the translucent lace curtains, which is really romantic.

The uncle said: It is indeed very beautiful. The handrail on your stairs is also very beautiful, it sparkles.

I said: Did you take a photo?

The uncle said: No, I don’t have the habit of taking photos. Besides, I’m always busy, so how can I have the time to take photos?

I said: What the hell! I worked so hard all day and didn’t take any pictures.

I took out my cell phone and took a picture of the star lights on the curtains while standing downstairs of my house. But they were too far away and the picture didn't look good.

I looked behind me and sat down on the bench at the back, exhausted.

The uncle said: Don’t worry, your mother will definitely take a photo of such a romantic scene.

I said: It’s hard to say. Older people don’t have this habit. My mother rarely posts on WeChat Moments.

The uncle said: I am old too.

I said: I am now influenced by you and I rarely post anymore.

The uncle came up to me and pulled me and said: Come on, I'll take you to eat. We haven't had lunch yet. We only had some fried dumplings all day. I'm starving.

I shook off his hand and said: I won't go, I will stay here. If the thick curtains in my father's bedroom are drawn, it means the matter is done.

The uncle was speechless. He said, "Are you sick? You're waiting for your dad to draw the curtains and not even eating?"

I said: Just order takeout, it’s quick and will be here in half an hour.

The uncle asked: What do we call here?

I looked around and said: Just fill in your address as the couple on the first bench between Building X and Building X.

The uncle came to pull me again, and said as he pulled me: "Are you sick? Let's go. Can you come back after we finish eating?"

I said: I don’t want it. It will take at least an hour to go back and forth for a meal. Why don’t you go buy it and take it home to eat.

The uncle said: "Forget it, let's order takeout." As he said that, he also sat down next to me, took out his phone, opened "Are you hungry?", found a restaurant and ordered a beef rice and a pork chop rice.

Then we sat on the chairs and chatted while waiting for the takeaway.

I asked the uncle: Honey, what did you cook?

The uncle said: Your mother loves grilled crucian carp with green onions, and your father loves seafood. I cooked crab with green onion oil, braised squid, shrimp with garlic sauce, shredded pork with fish flavor, pumpkin with egg yolk, and pork ribs and corn soup.

I said: Six dishes and one soup. That's enough for four people.

The uncle said: Well, I also prepared red wine. Candlelight cake, red wine, and beautiful woman! There is no reason for your father not to be moved.

I said: I'm not afraid that my father is not moved. He originally wanted my mother to come back, but my mother has always been unwilling to come back. I understand that he went out to find women.

The uncle asked: Could it be that your mother has a boyfriend?

I frowned and said: There is a bald man pursuing my mother. I didn’t know about it before, but I ran into him when I went to pick her up today. In order to pursue my mother, the man goes to my mother’s restaurant to eat every day, but my mother told me that she doesn’t like the man. I don’t know if my mother lied to me, so I am very worried. We have worked hard all day, and I am afraid that it will be in vain.

The uncle said: Your mother wouldn’t lie to you, right?

I said: I don’t think so, but I’m still quite worried.

The uncle said: Your mother should also like romance at this age, right? I think your mother can't resist it and will definitely stay tonight, believe me.

I looked at him and smiled, and said: Okay, I believe you.

After a while, the takeaway we ordered arrived.

The delivery guy stopped his electric bike in front of us and asked: Are you the couple on the first bench?

The uncle couldn't help laughing and said: Yes.

The delivery guy was also laughing, then got out of the car and brought the food to us.

The uncle ordered beef rice and I ordered pork ribs rice.

Then we both opened the package and ate it right there, like beggars.

There were people walking around nearby... They would even pass by to see what we were eating...

As I ate, I sighed: Oh, my parents are having a candlelight dinner upstairs, and we are eating takeout on the roadside, why do I feel so pitiful?

After saying that, I took a piece of beef from the uncle's lunch box and ate it.

The uncle looked at me and said: "Please don't steal my meat, okay? I won't have enough to eat even if I starve to death."

I said: "Let me trade with you, I'll give you a piece of spareribs." After that, I took a piece of spareribs for him, and then took two pieces of beef from his lunch box.

The uncle said: How can you be so cunning? I exchanged a piece of meatless spareribs for three pieces of beef, a total of five pieces of meat, and you ate three of them. Then, he gave me the other two pieces of meat and said: I'll give them all to you, you pig, I'll make you fat to death.

I said: It’s okay, I can’t gain weight.

Then, as I was eating, I suddenly noticed a dog in front of me looking at me.

I said: Go away, go away.

Not only did the dog not move away, it moved closer to me and then squatted in front of me with its tongue sticking out.

There are often stray dogs running into our community.

It kept looking at me while I was eating, and I felt embarrassed by it staring at me.

I reached out and patted the uncle, then pointed at the dog and said: Zheng XX, your brother is hungry.

The uncle almost spit out the food in his mouth. He turned his head to look at me with an expression as if he wanted to hit me.

I was feeling very proud of myself, but his sudden words made me feel less proud.

He said: Yes, this is my brother, he is also your brother-in-law, come on, wife, call me brother-in-law.

Damn, I can't argue with him!
