C1 It's Time for a Blind Date Again

Wisps of smoke slowly spread in the misty terraced fields of the distant mountains, like a curtain of windless autumn rain, falling straight down.

I walked slowly and quietly out of the room that didn't belong to me, and stood under the low eaves. When I looked up, I saw a different view.

The fine rain was like a line, interweaving horizontally and forming a thin veil. Not only did it envelop the sky, it also made the small courtyard appear even more desolate under the thin curtain.

Suddenly, a damp breeze blew past, blowing away the curtain of the night and messing up the downpour. The scene in front of his eyes became chaotic.

Suddenly, I realized that my emotions were very similar to the rain in front of me. It was so chaotic that I couldn't sort it out.

The wind had made the raindrops smaller. The mountain ranges of the mountain peaks had been bathed by the autumn rain in an emerald green.

The narrow path that led to the school wound through the mountain peaks, making the most dazzling clarity, yet drawing my thoughts closer to the school and into the not-so-spacious classroom.

"Ah Xiang, you're dead! Why aren't you tidying up? Do you want to make a fool of yourself? "

Mother's angry shout completely interrupted my daydream of the class scene, but more reality stern, as if swallowed yellow lotus, let me pain indescribably.

Having gone through four blind dates already, although I could tactfully refuse every time, I knew in my heart that it wasn't that my parents weren't aware of it. It was just because of the previous four blind dates, the man's family had become too poor. But this time, the matchmaker turned out to be my aunt, who seemed to be in a better family than the previous four. Even so, I didn't want to meet her, and I certainly didn't want to marry her.

Actually, I have such a dilemma, but it's not because I don't like the guy on the blind date. The key point is that the classmate Yue Siyang carved his feelings into my heart and has feelings that I can't erase.

Bam, bam. I received a heavy slap on my shoulder.

When I turned around, my furious mother was already standing behind me. The expression of anger on her face, which had been overshadowed by the passage of time, was actually frightening.

"Do you want to die!?" "Could it be that he has donkey hair stuffed into his ears, and dares to turn a deaf ear?"

Mom angrily shouted. After she swung her palm in the air, it was as if she saw my pleading eyes. She stopped and didn't let it fall again.

I took a small step back and raised my hands to cover my face. I prepared to protect my face in advance. Slap was a common occurrence for mothers and it wasn't difficult for her to get used to it.

"Mom, can you push it for a few days? Let me …"

The staccato voice, under my mother's glare, made me swallow the last part, because I really didn't want to turn black and blue.

When my mother got angry, it wasn't a serious matter at all, and she didn't feel any pity. Most importantly, I knew that there was no hope for it to change. The ending of the blind date would still be the same. Although my heart is extremely unwilling, but, do not want to let the guy of the blind date see my sad side.

"Your aunt spent so much effort to make you agree to this. Don't tell me you want me to not be able to lift my head?"

When the low growl stopped, my mother dropped her hanging arm and gave up slapping her face. I immediately pulled my hand away from my face and nodded my head. Then, I slowly turned around and in that instant, I clearly saw the bridal chamber prepared for my brother.

In a moment of depression, tears of sadness blurred his vision. He took a few small steps and silently wept as he stepped through the door. I couldn't hear the rain, but I could feel the cold on my back, and I could feel the irresistible force of fate.

The moment I walked into the house, my mother's low moan came from behind me.

Actually, what his mother did was not unreasonable. Stopping a few days was equivalent to letting his elder brother continue his marriage for a few more days. Although it seemed like it would last for a few days, in reality, it had an unpredictable ending. The parents definitely wouldn't dare to sympathize with their big brother's life.

My brother's marriage had already been decided, but for the farmers living in the Loess Plateau, the six thousand yuan betrothal gift from the 1980s was like a mountain crushing down on their parents' heads. Helplessly, I was the only hope for resolving this crisis. As long as I can find a wife of my own, my brother's wedding gift will be received, and the marriage will become a foregone conclusion. Although I know the importance of blind date, but I do not want to break the love for Yue Siyang, much less my pain, in exchange for my brother's happiness.

I wanted to, but I had absolutely no choice and no conditions to fight back. I was a girl, yet I failed to pass the college entrance exam. After dropping out of school, he didn't even have a reason to hide at home. All he could do was think of a way to avoid it.

Slowly, I sat down at the square table and turned over the closed-off mirror and placed it in front of me.

The face that could be considered exquisite was reflected on the old mirror. There was actually a dark green color that covered up the originally white face, revealing an indescribable haggardness.

All my mother said about cleaning up was that I had to wash my face and put on the big red coat that I could only wear on New Year's Day, and then put on the big bell-bottoms that my aunt had given me. Other than that, there was no condition for me to dress up.

I got up and went to the end of the kang, where my mother had married me. From the wooden box I found my big red coat and pale green bell-bottoms. The new clothes were already on me, welcoming four men I didn't know. Some were older, some were similar in age, but none of them could compare to Yue Siyang's handsomeness. At this moment, I was going to dress up for the blind date of the heroic young man whom my aunt had described as peerless in the world.

While thinking absentmindedly about my thoughts, I didn't stop me from taking off my clothes. Actually, there was only a thin cotton-padded jacket that was sewn personally by my mother on my upper body. As for the pants on my legs, they were the same as the ones from three years ago when I went to high school.

"Kacha!" An ear-piercing sound of objects being smashed resounded from the hall.

I couldn't help but shiver. As I turned my head to listen, my mother's angry curses resounded in my ears.

"Look at you, you're a coward. Don't you know how to prepare? You're waiting for me for everything!" Don't you have something to do? "

My mother's scolding was undoubtedly aimed at my father. Such quarrels and fights were already common in my memories.

"What do you want me to do with such a heavy rain? Can you weed or loosen the soil? "

When my father's low voice floated into my ears, I felt an unimaginable terror.

Although he was used to squabbling all day long, his father's shouts now carried an even more angry tone. With such a tone, it would definitely be a fierce fight that would overturn the heavens and overturn the earth. My brother is not at home to borrow money in the rain for the sake of marriage. If there is an gang fight, I have no way to stop it. When I thought of this, fear made me rush out of the chamber, and race toward the hall.
