55: Chapter 54: Blind Date 1
55 -54: Blind Date 1
Xu Niannian and Xu Zhiqiang returned home to find Xu Duoyu and Xu Zhicheng immediately running over, excitedly circling around Xu Niannian and Xu Zhiqiang.
To be precise, they were circling around Xu Zhiqiang, who was carrying things.
Xu Niannian scooped up Xu Duoyu in her arms and kissed her, making Duoyu shyly bury her face in Xu Niannian’s shoulder, causing Niannian to burst into hearty laughter.
Xu Dawei was drawing water when he saw Xu Niannian come back, his eyes curving into smiles: “Baby Nian is back.”
“Mhm,” Xu Niannian nodded vigorously.
“Dad, where’s mom?”
No sooner had she spoken than Yang Cuihua and Ding Guihua came out of the house.
At that moment, Yang Cuihua was smiling happily, holding Ding Guihua by the hand and repeatedly calling her “Sister Ding.”
Xu Niannian looked confused.
Was this her mother?
Ding Guihua spotted Xu Niannian and greeted her warmly, leaving Niannian feeling awkward.
Had the wife of the brigade commander switched her core too?
Why had she suddenly become so enthusiastic?
After Ding Guihua had left, Xu Niannian pulled Yang Cuihua inside the house.
“Mom, what brought Aunt Ding to our house?”
Yang Cuihua, in high spirits now, led Niannian into the room and said with a beaming smile, “Good news.”
“What good news?” Xu Niannian couldn’t help but ask.
What good news could make Yang Cuihua this happy?
Yang Cuihua looked at her own daughter’s radiant appearance with a proud face.
Her daughter was just too beautiful, second to none.
“Baby Nian, come with mom to town tomorrow.”
Xu Niannian was planning to go to the county town anyway.
She wanted to see how Li Qingshui’s business was doing.
But she didn’t agree outright.
Unusual behavior usually signaled trouble.

Yang Cuihua rarely went to the county town; she typically shopped at the cooperative on the town.
She had a premonition that Yang Cuihua’s wish to take her to the county had something to do with Ding Guihua.
She asked again, “Mom, what did Aunt Ding really come to see you about?”
Yang Cuihua didn’t keep it a secret.
Her daughter was nearly seventeen and it was time to discuss marriage.
Although she couldn’t bear the thought of giving her away, she couldn’t let her own reluctance ruin her daughter’s chance at a good marriage.
The match had such good prospects; once Niannian married into that family, she was bound to have a good life.
Cuihua was sure that Ding Guihua wouldn’t dare to deceive her.
Once her daughter was married into a good family, she would have peace of mind.
So she told Xu Niannian the purpose of Ding Guihua’s visit.
Upon hearing it, Niannian was utterly shocked, “What!
A blind date!”
“Shh, keep your voice down.
Why are you so loud?” Yang Cuihua quickly covered Niannian’s mouth.
Niannian widened her eyes and pulled her mother’s hand away, “Mom, I don’t want to go.”
“Why not?” Yang Cuihua didn’t understand why her daughter was so opposed and quickly said, “Baby Nian, don’t worry.
I’ve asked, the other party has good conditions, and he’s an official.
Your Aunt Ding said he’s also quite handsome.”
Xu Niannian helplessly held her forehead.
She was not even seventeen yet and had never even considered the matter of marriage.
What was all this?
“Mom, listen to me, I really don’t want to go…”
“Baby Nian, don’t worry, mom won’t force you,” Yang Cuihua immediately interrupted Xu Niannian.
Niannian hadn’t had time to reflect on her mother’s understanding when she quickly continued, “Let’s just go have a look.
If you really aren’t satisfied, just give me a signal and I’ll find an excuse to take you away, okay?
It doesn’t hurt just to look.”
Yang Cuihua really didn’t want her daughter to miss out on such a good man.
If this were any other matter, as long as Xu Niannian said no, Yang Cuihua would never force her.
But a man with such good conditions was truly hard to find.
Moreover, this time it was the parents of the young man who had taken the initiative to come looking for their Niannian.
The man was from the city, and although Niannian was pretty and could earn money, Yang Cuihua knew that city people looked down on villagers.
Nevertheless, she couldn’t bear the thought of her daughter having to work the fields after getting married; marrying into the city would be perfect.
Since ancient times, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship has been difficult to manage, and it’s always better for parents to approach proactively than for the daughter to engage with someone in secret.
So, of course, Yang Cuihua hoped her daughter would take a liking to the young man.
Although Yang Cuihua was bold and forthright, apart from doting on her daughter, her mindset wasn’t that different from that of typical rural women.
Looking into Yang Cuihua’s expectant eyes, Xu Niannian felt helpless.
The discussion had gone so far that it would be too much for her to refuse.
She might as well just take a look, and then she could simply say she wasn’t interested.
She wasn’t planning to marry so soon since in this era, once a blind date went well, marriage was usually close at hand.
Not to mention the issue of what kind of person the other party was, she was no longer a virgin now.
She knew better than anyone how highly this era valued chastity.
Which man could accept that his wife wasn’t a virgin?
Xu Niannian was not a woman of this era; she had modern thinking.
If the other person really minded, she wouldn’t be willing to marry either.
She could live alone just fine.
With these thoughts, Xu Niannian couldn’t help but curse the beast responsible for her situation.
Eventually, Xu Niannian gave in and agreed to Yang Cuihua’s request.
Upon hearing Xu Niannian’s agreement, Yang Cuihua immediately became ecstatic, her joy overflowing.
She took Niannian by the hand, chattering, “Let’s go, let’s go.
While we still have some time, let’s go to town and buy a beautiful outfit.”
