Chapter 214 Preparing for a Blind Date
Chang Ying was about to say something back to Zheng Yuehong when she saw Chang Yuanliang coming down from the building. "Chang Ying is back?"

"Dad," Chang Ying shouted, "I brought some big pork elbows and big meat buns from Uncle Cui's house. Should we have them for lunch or dinner?"

Who can't do what's happening on the scene?

"Let's have meat buns for lunch and pork elbow for dinner."

"Okay!" Chang Ying walked over and said with a smile, "Auntie's stewed pork elbow is so delicious. It's best to take the lean meat off and dip it in mashed garlic."

"Changjia sent you back?"

"Definitely."

"What about her?"

"Go back, come pick me up tomorrow afternoon."

Chang Yuanliang looked at his daughter who was completely different this time and smiled. He said, "Your Aunt Zheng has found a date for you. The young man works in the power sector and has good conditions. You can go and meet him tomorrow afternoon."

Chang Ying's smile froze at the corner of her mouth. She glanced at Zheng Yuehong and said, "Why would you go on a blind date during the Chinese New Year? Chang Jia and I have an appointment to go to the movies tomorrow."

"He's back from the Chinese New Year holiday, so he's only free on the first day of the new year," Zheng Yuehong said. "He works in the power sector, and his job is stable and his salary is high, so his conditions are really good."

Chang Ying heard something wrong and asked, "What does it mean to come back for the New Year holiday? Is this person from another place?"

"He works in Qiaotou County, which is under our provincial capital. He was assigned to work there after graduation. He worked there for two years first. When there is an opportunity, his family will use their connections to transfer him back."

Chang Ying looked at Chang Yuanliang.

Chang Yuanliang said, "This young man is the nephew of one of your uncles. If I didn't know him well, I wouldn't let your Aunt Zheng arrange it."

Chang Ying was a boss, so she could keep her composure. She paused and said, "Dad, I'm sorry to trouble Aunt Zheng. But I didn't buy new clothes this year. Let's talk about it later."

Chang Yuanliang looked at Chang Ying. Chang Ying was still wearing a black cotton coat, blue jeans, and sneakers. If it weren't for her excellent complexion and pretty appearance, she would not look good in this ordinary outfit.

"Why didn't you buy new clothes for the New Year? Did you run out of money?"

Chang Ying said nothing.

Chang Yuanliang's heart sank. He had given money to Chang Ying before, but the child refused to accept it. Later, he saw that her business was good. It was the New Year and he also had to visit people everywhere, so he no longer paid attention to Chang Ying's business. Until this moment when Chang Ying said that she didn't buy new clothes, he suddenly remembered that he had never asked Chang Ying how much money she invested in opening the cake shop. How did she get all the money?
Zheng Yuehong smiled and said, "It just so happens that the down jacket I bought this year is a little lighter in color. I think the color is too fresh. Xiaoying, if you don't mind, why don't you try it later?"

Chang Ying smiled and said, "Okay, Aunt Zheng, let me pick out your necklaces, jewelry, bags, scarves, etc. It's just right for me to match my outfit."

Zheng Yuehong almost bit her back teeth off, but she couldn't say a word of refusal in front of Chang Yuanliang.

Zheng Yuehong's bags are all genuine products from the store, and many of them cost thirty or twenty thousand yuan. She could pick one up at random and sell it for several thousand yuan. Chang Ying would be stupid not to accept it.

Following Zheng Yuehong's order, Chang Ying openly went to her cloakroom to pick out clothes, bags, and scarves. No matter how pretty or ugly they were, she took everything new. Finally, she also took away a pair of Zheng Yuehong's sheepskin gloves and a large gold necklace that was 90% new.

She planned to go to Cui Changjia's house tomorrow to give the gloves to the aunt, and as for the gold necklace, she would go to the counter to exchange it for two small ones, one for her and one for Cui Changjia.

After choosing the clothes, scarves and bags, Chang Ying hung them all on herself and went out to show them to Chang Yuanliang. Chang Yuanliang frowned as he looked at them. After all, Zheng Yuehong's things were suitable for older people and not very suitable for Chang Ying. But seeing that Chang Ying seemed to like them very much, he said they looked good.

As soon as Chang Yuanliang said it was beautiful, Chang Ying happily returned to her room and did not go downstairs until dinner time. The plump white buns brought back from Cui's house had been heated up and were put in a basket and placed on a corner of the dining table.

There were four dishes on the table, all of which were simple home-cooked meals, but each one looked great!

Chang Ying looked at the dishes and said, it turns out that Zheng Yuehong is not unable to cook.

Chang Ying, who came down to eat, was much calmer.

Chang Ying was actually quite angry about Zheng Yuehong asking her to go on a blind date, so as soon as she returned to her room, she called Cui Changjia to complain.

Cui Changjia did not go home. She drove her car to a secluded place and lay in the car to bask in the sun.

"I came back one day and Zheng Yuehong introduced me to a date. What does she mean? She actually found someone from Qiaotou County for me and said she would be transferred back in two years. She just wanted to marry me far away so she can't see me well!"

"Don't be angry on New Year's Day," Cui Changjia said lazily, "You should meet the right person. It's up to you to decide whether it's suitable or not. Besides, what if you fall in love with each other?"

Chang Ying said angrily, "Cui Changjia, what do you mean? You don't want me to be in the state capital in the future, right?"

Seeing that Chang Ying was angry, Cui Changjia quickly said, "I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

"I'm annoyed by them nagging me all the time, and they act like they're doing it for my own good, and if I refuse, I'm ungrateful."

"Just muddle through this matter first, and then find a suitable one next year. Then they will have no reason to bother with you."

"No, I'm going to be alone anyway," Chang Ying rolled her eyes, "Why don't you go on the blind date for me tomorrow? If the guy likes you, then I'll have an excuse, right?"

Cui Changjia was speechless. "Is he stupid, or are you stupid? It's not as complicated as you think. Just go by yourself. I'll pick you up after you finish watching."

"No, you come with me."

"I'll wait for you in the car. If you say no, I'll call you right away to pick you up."

"Cui Changjia, you are so disloyal. We can no longer be friends!"

"Okay, don't be angry on New Year's Day. Remember what the great man said: Fight against the sky, fight against the earth, fight against people, and the fun is endless. If they are willing to toss around, just play along."

Amid Cui Changjia's consolation, Chang Ying hung up the phone angrily.

Chang Ying was only angry after she hung up the phone, but she calmed down after a while. Yes, it was just a joke, nothing big.

Cui Changjia put away his phone, looked up at the warm sun outside the car, and sighed slightly. It was so nice to be able to bask in the sun leisurely. How could they have gotten through this time last year? His sister and father died one after another, and his mother fell ill, but he had no money to go to the hospital. Aze went back to his hometown to ask relatives for money, but not only did he return in vain, he also lost hundreds of yuan in train tickets.
With a ding, there was a text message on her phone. Cui Changjia picked it up and took a look. It was a New Year's greeting message from Ding Xinglin. She replied seriously: Thank you for your blessing, Mr. Ding, and Happy New Year! I wish you great success, good luck, and great wealth in the new year!

In China, greeting each other during the Chinese New Year is a kind of courtesy. It is a good tradition. Cui Changjia did not reject it. It was okay anyway. She forwarded Ding Xinglin's New Year greeting message, changed her name, and then sent it to all the phone numbers in the address book.

But when she saw Zhou Qingyan's cell phone number, she hesitated and forwarded it as well.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qingyan called her back.

I'm going to make up for the missed updates last night. My kids are about to go back to school, and I'm going to be free. I'm so happy.
