Chapter Thirty-Seven Going on a Blind Date in Two Days
Thank you Jiuzhai Maple Leaf Forest brothers for the three evaluation votes, all of which are very good. Lao Jiu is very relieved... In addition, Lao Jiu will leave Changsha tomorrow and go home. Because there is no Internet at home in the countryside, and I have to wait until it is opened. It will be inconvenient to update via Telecom, but even if Laojiu rides to go online, he will try his best to update twice a day... However, if Laojiu updates less one day, brothers, please understand, Laojiu Nine is not easy either...
As for blind dates, Lao Jiu is very experienced. He once went to see several girls. The process was very interesting. I will explain it slowly in the following chapters... In addition, brothers who have had similar experiences , can you go to the book review area to talk about it and share it with everyone? Lao Jiu’s best comment...
Finally, I kindly ask brothers to support by collecting and recommending votes. Of course, if you can give me a tip, I would be more than welcome...

Of course my mother couldn't bear to starve her son.
Rice and mung bean porridge mixed with the aroma of wild vegetables, mother and son finished their breakfast warmly, Fang Rui cleared away the dishes, and his mother carried the pig food to feed the little white pigs in the pen.
After resting for more than 20 minutes after the meal, Fang Rui went to the pond with a hoe and a dustpan.
I put down my tools and went to the pond to dig up the water plants. There were a lot more yellow eel eggs than yesterday, but I haven't seen any hatchlings yet.
I checked a few more aquatic plants and the conditions were similar.
After checking around and finding nothing out of the ordinary, Fang Rui began to continue the unfinished work from yesterday.
Because the system's energy value suddenly surged by more than 400,000 points, and there was an unknown reason for the monster monster, Fang Rui wielded the hoe with great enthusiasm, and the progress of the excavation was nearly one-third faster than yesterday.
The recent increase in energy value has been a surprise. Fang Rui now just wants to open the mysterious space as soon as possible and make full use of it. While working, Fang Rui wondered whether the system still owes a debt of more than 200,000 energy points. Is it him? By what means can we increase our efforts and bring everything back to zero in one fell swoop?
Buy thousands of chickens? Catch some eels? Or catch some snakes? How about catching frogs? Or open up some land and plant some vegetables or fruits?
Buying chickens is a good idea. You don’t need to do anything, just pay for it. I have accumulated some experience raising those 100 chickens, and the system should not object to buying the second batch of chickens. However, this is too unproductive. feel.
Are you going to catch eels? The rice seedlings in the field are about to ear now, so it’s definitely impossible to catch them for the time being. Are you going to catch snakes? The sun is getting more and more poisonous now, and snakes are too alert, so it’s hard to catch anything. It’s not bad to catch frogs. , I haven’t caught one since I came back, but this thing grows one or two in a year, so there is no point in breeding it.
As for planting, it’s not appropriate. Mom has already planted what the family eats and what they feed the poultry. Wouldn’t it be a waste to plant those by yourself? There are also cash crops, but I’m a layman and I don’t know anything.
Somewhat tired, he stopped what he was doing. Fang Rui pondered over it, his eyes fell on the eel pond, and suddenly he thought of a method of catching eels that he learned on the Internet. This method is suitable for use in this season, and it is also good for catching eels. The efficiency is several times higher than catching eels with bare hands.
That is to put the eels in a cage.
Nowadays, some people in Xiaotai'er Village use cages to hold eels and loaches, but their cages are woven with strips of bamboo. This kind of bamboo cage is highly manual, more complicated to make, and requires a certain amount of attention. The bamboo cage has a big head and a big belly. , the opening about the size of a rice bowl is made with densely packed thin strips, and water is poured into it to completely cover the opening. In this way, fish, eels, etc. can slide in smoothly, but when they come out, they will be blocked by the thin strips and cannot get out.
It's just that the bamboo cage is troublesome, and the effect of catching eels is not very good.
The kind of cage Fang Rui saw on the Internet is made of small wire, fine gauze, and foam. This kind of cage is simple to make and low-cost. It should be available in the fishing gear market....
However, Fang Rui only knew that there was such a cage. Fang Rui didn't know how to operate this cage and how effective it was at catching eels. After all, he had never used it himself. Fang Rui decided to go to the town to have a look in the afternoon.
For a moment, if there is nothing in town, go to the city. Anyway, I want to get a dozen or twenty of them back and give it a try.
……………………
By about eleven o'clock, nearly half of the new pond was dug.
Fang Rui slapped his forehead, feeling dizzy and almost forgetting the silkworm babies Xiaohua gave him. If he didn't raise these silkworm babies well, Xiaohua would probably end up with him.
Fang Rui threw away the hoe and dustpan and returned to the bedroom to see the silkworms. However, he heard the whining sounds of the monsters in the bird's nest in the box on the wall. It seemed that the Big Belly King Bird was hungry again.
Among all the currently cultivated animals, the little monsters are the most powerful. Fang Rui had no choice but to take care of this little ancestor first.
After the monster fell asleep again, Fang Rui went to look at the small box containing silkworms. All the mulberry leaves in the box were eaten were the stems. If he didn't feed them, they would starve to death. Fang Rui knew
There is a mulberry tree in a small rocky valley not far behind the house.
I picked some lazy leaves in the past, washed the dust off with well water, and wiped them clean with a cloth. Then I picked out the silkworm babies in the small box one by one, and then put the black silkworm poop and leftover mulberry leaf stems in the box.
Drain and discard. Spread the mulberry leaves evenly in the small box, and then pick up the silkworms one by one.
After completing each step carefully, Fang Rui breathed a sigh of relief. After watching the silkworms happily nibbling on the mulberry leaves for a while, Fang Rui washed his hands, wiped off the sweat, and prepared for lunch.
After washing the rice, setting up the pressure cooker, and cutting vegetables, someone shouted outside the house. The voice sounded like it was Liu Xiuhua, who introduced the girl to me. I guess the woman was here for a blind date.
"Aunt Xiuhua, you're here." Fang Rui put down the kitchen knife and wiped his hands on the bra. When he went out, he saw that it was Liu Xiuhua.
"Xiao Rui, you are cooking...are you free these two days?" Liu Xiuhua stood at the door of the hall and asked Fang Rui with a smile.
"Aunt Xiuhua, come in and sit down... I should be free these two days." Fang Rui invited Liu Xiuhua to sit down in the room, poured her a cup of tea, and said calmly.
I had agreed to go see it last time, but because Xiao Hei's incident disturbed my mood, I declined. To be honest, Fang Rui was still somewhat interested in blind dates. Don't think that blind dates in rural areas are the same as those on TV shows.
Those blind dates that are just for show are such a cliched thing. In fact, you can see and learn a lot about blind dates in rural areas. And in the countryside of Pingyang, many people born in the 1980s or even 1990s have the other half of their lives.
It was found through this method.
Regarding blind dates, Fang Rui is not only curious and interested, but also has aspirations for the future.
"Then Auntie will take you to Luojia Village across the river to see a girl, the day after tomorrow, no chance!" Liu Xiuhua took a sip of tea.
"The day after tomorrow? Yes, the day after tomorrow!" Fang Rui nodded in agreement.
"That girl is still the same one I talked about last time. Do you still remember her conditions in all aspects... Do you want Auntie to tell you again?"
"No need, Auntie, what you're talking about is just the appearance that you know. The specific details cannot be seen from the appearance." Fang Rui said thoughtfully.
"Xiao Rui, what you said makes sense. Our introduction is only to play a role as a matchmaker. Your future understanding and getting along with each other will all depend on yourselves... By the way, Auntie has something ugly to say up front. No matter how you get to know each other in the future,
How is the result of the relationship, Xiao Rui, you all can’t blame Auntie."
Liu Xiuhua said it seriously. As a matchmaker, she really had to say this first.
Not to mention those far away, there have been a lot of incidents in this area in the villages around Xiaotai'er Village...
Some men and women fall in love with mung beans when they meet, and then they get married quickly with lightning and thunder. This kind of lightning marriage is very harmonious when the fire is burning, but once the chicken fever passes, life returns to rationality and salt and rice sauce.
When there is jealousy, because the two parties have no emotional foundation and do not have enough time to get along, all kinds of problems are exposed, and then there are quarrels, fights, regrets, and divorce.
And for all faults, they will blame it on the person who made the introduction.
Therefore, being a matchmaker in the countryside is also a hard job, and it is nothing more than a happy marriage. If such a thing like being eliminated really happens, the thin-skinned matchmaker will not even dare to go in that direction. Everyone has dignity, and they will turn a blind eye.
It feels so good.
"Don't worry, Aunt Xiuhua. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't understand things. You introduced me to girls out of kindness. How could I blame you?" Fang Rui was speaking from the bottom of his heart, regardless of the matchmaker's motives.
What is the purpose of introducing someone to you, but they just made an introduction, and maybe said some flattering words, or even confusing words. However, no matter what, the choice is still in your hands.
"With your words, Auntie can feel at ease with this introduction... Remember, you can come to my house at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow, and we will go to Luojia Village together..." Liu Xiuhua drank the tea in one gulp and glanced at Fang Rui.
, seeing that Fang Rui’s eyes were clear and not eager, he said he wanted to go back to cook, got up and left.
