Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

In between taking care of the children, Chen Sheng reminded with concern: "Dad, if anyone at home feels unwell, please inform my eldest brother in time. After all, Mom is lying in bed now."

The father understood Mr. Chen's concerns and knew that they were out of love for his family members, so he did not refute them.

The smell of medicine attracted the eldest brother Chen Yi, who stepped forward and volunteered to help. "It's really convenient to have a doctor at home," he couldn't help but exclaim.

To this, the father smiled and agreed: "Yes, especially our own people."

After the medicine was cooked, Mr. Chen carefully confirmed that everyone had taken the medicine, and then he returned home satisfied.

The next morning, seeing that the buyer Li was getting better, Chen was relieved: "It seems that the medicine is really effective. I feel much better after taking it for a day."

Considering that only top-grade medicinal materials are used, the excellent effect is not surprising.

At lunch time, Mr. Chen thought about it and decided to visit his master Wang Shun.

Although he is a doctor, he still has a deep master-disciple relationship with his master.

I thought Wang Shun was out, but when I opened the door, I found that the master was drinking tea. "Master, why are you at home?" Chen Sheng asked curiously.

Hearing this, the master's wife came out of the study and said, "Your master originally planned to watch the play, but the actor fell ill, so he had to come back early!" She said this without any reservation.

"Master, I just came to see you and your wife. I wanted to know how you are doing recently." Mr. Chen quickly changed the subject, appearing extremely concerned.

"That's very thoughtful," the wife said with a smile, "Of course it's very good!"

"Don't worry, although I have retired, my medical skills are still rusty," said Master Wang Shun proudly.

Mr. Chen nodded and suggested, "Actually, I brought some spare herbs with me. I'll cook them later in case of emergency."

The master agreed. "Never mind, I have a fishing date with my friends, so I have to go. It's not my style to be late." He suddenly looked at his watch, his words revealing his obsession with fishing.

Mr. Chen looked at it, a little surprised but then he understood, and thought that it was indeed the case.

In that era, entertainment options were scarce, and fishing together after retirement was undoubtedly the most pleasant thing.

After finishing work that day, Chen Yi came to him in a hurry and brought him a message: he must go home this weekend. This made Chen Shengsheng suspicious, but his brother just informed him and left, making him wonder what big news it was that made him come to report it.

The store did not have any weekend breaks, so Mr. Chen decided to take a day off the next day and return directly.

"Mom, I'm back to see you!" As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, Chen Sheng spoke loudly, causing the grandmother who was basking in the sun in the yard to cry out softly.

"Child, be careful with your voice. You scared me!" She responded with a smile, a little reproachful but full of joy.

"Haha, grandma, I just came back to visit you." Mr. Chen scratched his head embarrassedly with a smile on his face.

"Young man, you're back. Is the store not too busy lately?" the old man asked in a concerned voice.

"It's not too busy and the work arrangement is quite flexible." Mr. Chen explained the situation in detail.

Grandma smiled and nodded, her eyes full of relief. "Well, everyone wants to see you. It would be nice for everyone to get together when you return home this time."

On this warm day, the atmosphere of home is filled with the return and anticipation of every member.

"Huh? What happened? Why is everyone talking about me?" Mr. Chen turned to his grandmother and asked in confusion.

"You'd better ask your sister-in-law about this question." Grandmother kept it a little suspenseful, seeming mysterious.

Stepping into the living room, Mr. Chen found that the whole family except his grandmother were gathered there because his grandmother preferred a quiet environment.

"Mom, I'm back." After entering the door, Chen Sheng greeted with full energy.

"Your schedule is quite tight. I'm just preparing dinner. You can eat here. It won't be too late to go back later." said the mother gently.

"Mom, let's not rush to talk about dinner. What important matter did my eldest brother ask me to come back yesterday? I was worried to death.

I asked my elder brother yesterday, but he was unwilling to say more. I have been thinking about it all night and want to know. "Mr. Chen was eager to find out.

"Haha, your brother asked you to come back for good reasons." The sister-in-law at the side joked.

Chen was being watched by everyone in the room with smiling eyes. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Was it because his father got a promotion? Or was it because his elder brother and sister-in-law had a baby again?

"Mom, what's going on? Tell me quickly." Mr. Chen urged.

"My child, this is actually nothing. There is just someone who wants to be a matchmaker for you." The mother looked happy.

Mr. Chen: ...matchmaker? What is a matchmaker?

"Ah, ah?" Ever since the moment his eldest brother informed him, until today when he walked into the house and saw the smiles on his family members' faces, Mr. Chen felt that this matter was not that simple.

"Xiaosheng, my mother came to visit relatives before and mentioned that a distant cousin was about to get married. You are also of marriageable age, so I was considering whether the two families could form an alliance.

So I went to ask what it meant." The sister-in-law explained with a smile.

"What can I say? It would be nice if someone could introduce me to a matchmaker.

My eldest sister-in-law and eldest brother are living happily now. Wouldn't it be better if you could marry your eldest sister-in-law and cousin?" Grandmother said.

"That's why I asked your elder brother to ask you to come back and take some time to meet him," the mother continued.

After a long silence, Chen Sheng said emotionally: "I'm not against it, but my marriage is not urgent. I'm only twenty. There's really no need to be so nervous, right?"

Hearing what he said, his mother looked a little annoyed: "Why aren't you in a hurry? People in their twenties have already started families and have kids! They only know how to have fun all day long and don't focus on their careers! It was definitely not a wise decision for me to let you live so far away, right, your child's father?"

The father looked at the angry mother and nodded quickly: "Yes, I was not thoughtful enough to let you not live here."

Mr. Chen sighed deeply and compromised, "Okay, I'll meet you then."

The eldest sister-in-law at the side interrupted and said, "Xiaosheng, don't be unhappy.

My cousin is not only beautiful, but also has a good family background. She has a city hukou and her father is a small leader in the factory.

If you were with her, our home would be much more lively. "

She continued to dream, "If you get married, a wonderful life is inevitable."

Mr. Chen, who was dissatisfied, thought, since the decision has been made, why bother asking me to come back for advice? Can't they just arrange it directly? It's just like an old-fashioned arranged wedding.

“It’s up to you.

Since you have all made careful preparations, I won't say any more.

Just set a time, I'm going to go back and make some preparations. "He said.

But he couldn’t help but add: “I’m saying this to the end. Meeting is one thing, but if it doesn’t go my way, I hope you won’t blame me.

Love is all about fate and affinity, you know this best, sisters-in-law.

"If two people get married without any attraction, their future life will only be unhappy." After hearing this, the eldest sister-in-law nodded repeatedly to show her agreement.

"Young man, don't jump to conclusions about this matter. Who knows if you will fall in love with someone in the future?" said the eldest brother Chen Yi at the side with a smile, with a hint of anticipation.

Mother Chen continued, "Since you are not free this weekend, let's plan it for next weekend and just come back a little earlier." After that, she started preparing dinner.

Only three people were left: Father Chen, eldest brother Chen Yi, and Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen complained that his elder brother did not tell him the news earlier, but his elder brother laughed and said that this was what he meant.

Father Chen said, "Son, it's time for you to consider getting married. If there's a suitable partner, we can help you arrange one. But we're not asking you to marry your eldest sister-in-law's cousin. It's that you haven't mentioned your ideal partner for many years, which makes us very anxious!"

“Even if you don’t have it right now, it’s good to listen to.

I remember that girl was prettier than your sister-in-law when she first married your eldest brother." Father added.

Brother Chen Yi also agreed, "Dad is right, your sister-in-law was one of the most beautiful girls in our yard at that time.

Just think about it, being prettier than your sister-in-law, how attractive that would be. "

Mr. Chen is not a man who judges people by appearance. Although in modern society he pays more attention to appearance, what is more important is whether the two people get along well with each other.

He found it very difficult to adjust to an arranged marriage, no matter how beautiful the other person was.

He felt a little conflicted, but had to accept his family's wishes.

At the dinner table, when he said that he wanted to buy the ingredients himself on the day of the blind date, his mother did not object but nodded in agreement. After all, she believed that her son, a grocery store clerk, was very good at this. She also reminded him to be decent because they were all relatives and friends, and the scene had to be lively but polite.

In the evening, when Chen was about to leave, he heard his mother's instructions again.

He smiled bitterly and thought: The impression I make at home seems so unreliable?

I had no choice but to promise to do it and then rode away quickly.

Mr. Chen was very annoyed about the upcoming blind date event. There was a conflict between his inner sense of freedom and his family's traditional expectations.

This contradiction is a problem caused by traveling through time and space in the future. Modern values ​​and traditional concepts are very different. Who would be eager to get married at this age? He is in his twenties now, and it is normal to consider such things at least when he is twenty-six or twenty-seven.

He sighed, faced with a reality that could not be changed, and chose to conform to the present and go with the flow.

For the time being, he put the blind date deep in his heart and didn't think about it too deeply.

Perhaps with the passage of time, there will be a turning point in his relationship with someone, but at least there is no girl who makes his heart beat fast yet.

Wang Gang's sister has good conditions, but it is not very realistic. After all, the old man of the Wang family should be at the same level as or higher than Leader Qin.

Mr. Chen never wanted to climb up, and he was really exhausted from dealing with a group of experienced people every day.

Forget it, just let it be. Thinking too much will only become a burden.

Just after returning home and passing by the central courtyard, he found that the Yi family and Sha Zhu's family were nowhere to be seen.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Xu Damao came over and told him excitedly: "Brother, great news! The old blind woman is sick! Her condition looks very serious. You all saw that all the people in the middle courtyard went to the hospital to see her."
