There was one good thing about living by the sea.
No matter how poor they were, they could still afford seafood. Even if they couldn't afford it, the sea was right next to them. If they cast a net in the morning, they would definitely reap some benefits by the end of the day.
Looking at the four dishes and soup on the table, Zhou Yunfan had a great appetite.
"Come, drink this fish soup. The soup has turned white. It must taste very fresh.”Zhou Yunfan's mother smiled and scooped a bowl of soup for him.
"Mm, you guys eat too. If you want to eat, I'll take it myself.”
The taste was really delicious. It was completely different from the seasonings used by the restaurants outside.
On the one hand, those in the city were usually farmed, and they definitely could not compare to the wild ones at home.
On the other hand, he hadn't had a good seafood for a long time. The price of seafood in the mainland was really proversive, which made Zhou Yunfan, who grew up eating seafood, hold back for a long time.
"Haha…"
Mother Zhou sat down and rubbed her hands. She looked at her son and asked tentatively," Yunfan, you've been studying outside for four years. Have you got a girlfriend yet?"”
"Cough cough…"
It was really sudden.
Zhou Yunfan, who was drinking fish soup, choked on the topic.
As expected, he still couldn't escape.
Parents had a strange cycle. When they were studying, they were afraid that they would fall in love. That was called puppy love and it would affect their studies. However, after graduation, they immediately changed their way of thinking. They wished that their son would become a lover and have countless girls around him.
"No, girls in the city need a car, a house, and savings when they get married. I want to have a career before considering this.”
Zhou Yunfan explained after he felt better.
"Yes, yes, yes. I'm not rushing you. I'm just chatting.”Mother Zhou smiled awkwardly. She could feel that her son was not very willing to talk about this with her.
However, Zhou Yunfan was the only son in the family, and he had the responsibility to pass down the family line.
The people in the village were all traditional. Zhou Yunfan was already in his early twenties, and they thought he was old enough to get married and have children.
Mother Zhou continued," Do you know Auntie Yang who sells tofu in Yangjia Village next door? Her daughter came back a while ago. Aiyo, she was so beautiful, just like a celebrity on TV. Her eyes were big and watery, and she was very likable. Yunfan, do you want to try to get to know her?”
Zhou Yunfan's mother said earnestly before he expressed his opinion.
"Yunfan, we don't expect you to be rich. As parents, we just want you to be safe.”
"Start a family and start a business. While we can still move, we can also help you take care of your children.”
"I know that woman. Although she's beautiful, she's very dutiful. She's never messed around outside and is filial.”
"Although she's only in junior high school and isn't very compatible with you, she's good. The most important thing is to be able to live, right?”
"There's more…"
"Stop!" Zhou Yunfan quickly interrupted his mother.
Looking at this situation, if he didn't interrupt, this meal would be very uncomfortable.
"Can't I see it?" Zhou Yunfan admitted defeat helplessly.
In fact, he didn't reject blind dates. As long as it wasn't an arranged marriage, blind dates were just a way to meet girls.
"Alright, then I'll call Auntie Yang and let her know.”
Seeing that her son had agreed to this matter, a smile immediately appeared on Mother Zhou's face.
She didn't even eat. She quickly walked to the landline at home and picked up the phone book to flip through.
"Let's eat first. There's no hurry.”Zhou Yunfan still wanted to persuade her.
"How can I not be anxious? That girl has just returned to the village for less than two days and a matchmaker has come to find her. I can't let such a beautiful girl be snatched by someone else.”Mother Zhou waved her hand and said stubbornly.
Zhou Yunfan shook his head helplessly. He really didn't know how good that girl was to make his mother so anxious.
He poured some rice wine.
"Dad, let's drink." Zhou Yunfan said.
This rice wine was brewed by the family. In the past, every family in the village would brew some rice wine or yellow wine to drink with seafood, but now it was less.
"Yes…" Father Zhou nodded with a smile on his face and downed the wine in one gulp.
The two of them chatted casually. They talked about the school and asked if there was anything new in the village.
"What? Zhou Fu is back?" Zhou Yunfan was surprised.
Zhou Fu could be considered a brother who had grown up with him naked.
After graduating from junior high school, he followed his father to work in Shenchuan. However, their relationship was not broken. They would chat on the phone every once in a while, bragging and whatnot.
"That's right. After he saved enough money, his father brought him back to marry a wife. I heard that the two sides have already hit it off and will get married at the end of the year.”Father Zhou nodded.
It seemed that he finally understood why his mother was so anxious to find a daughter-in-law for him.
She must have seen that Zhou Fu, who was the same age as her, was getting ready to get married. It would be strange if she didn't have a plan in her heart.
"Alright, I'll go and play with him in the afternoon.”Zhou Yunfan replied.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, the aftertaste went to their heads.
He was not in a hurry to go out for the time being. He went back to his room and fell asleep.
The sea breeze blew in through the window. It was really too comfortable.
While he was sleeping, Zhou Yunfan had a dream that his clone had conquered the entire ocean. So he carried a backpack and rode a shark to travel around the world. The things in the backpack were naturally countless rare marine treasures.
