After four years of marriage, the military officer husband came back

Seeing several people coming in, Xia Qingning patted Mai Miao and said softly:

"I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. Go home now and I will come to see you later."

"What's wrong?" Mai Miao was very confused.

"Don't ask anymore, go back quickly." Xia Qingning urged, without telling her the reason, and then reminded:

"When you leave my yard, keep your back straight and walk slowly."

Seeing Xia Qingning so anxious, Mai Miao did not hesitate any longer and stood up:

"Then I'll go home and wait for you. Come over quickly."

"Okay, let's go." Xia Qingning waved to her and urged her again.

Mai Miao didn't stay any longer, opened the door and walked out.

Xia Qingning stood at the window, staring out. The three strangers had already walked into the courtyard. The woman in dark blue cloth walked in front, smiling and saying:

"It's here, it's here."

This woman is a matchmaker who specializes in matchmaking. Her name is Huang Daxixi. However, the most taboo thing about blind dates is that they fail. Therefore, people generally do not call her Huang Matchmaker, but Xi Matchmaker.

Behind the matchmaker followed a man in a grey shirt, holding candies and wine in his hands. He looked to be about 175 or years old, about cm tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a handsome face. He wore a pair of shiny leather shoes on his feet.

Behind the man was a woman, probably in her forties or fifties, dressed very decently, especially the bright gold necklace around her neck, which was particularly dazzling.

After a while, the few of them met Mai Miao who was walking out.

Maimiao also did as Xia Qingning had just said, taking small steps and walking slowly. Her cute face looked even more delicate under the sunlight, and her blue and white skirt swayed gently with her steps, as if a flower could bloom.

The man's calm face suddenly revealed a look of surprise the moment he saw Mai Miao. His gaze was fixed on her and a smile appeared in his eyes. He thought she was He Shanshan and immediately walked towards her.

But the girl seemed to be unaware and just walked past him.

The man's smile disappeared instantly, and his eyes followed the girl unconsciously until he saw her enter the house in front and disappear at the door, then he was willing to retract his eyes.

"This is the house, come in quickly." The matchmaker who was walking in front did not notice the strangeness of the man behind her, and shouted to the house with a happy face:

"Aunt Mingfang, come out quickly, there are guests at home."

Xia Qingning withdrew her gaze, turned around and sat next to the sewing machine, continuing to make the unfinished clothes.

Hearing the voice outside, Wang Mingfang immediately went out to greet her. Seeing the matchmaker in dark blue clothes, she was very enthusiastic and her voice was full of smiles:

"Oh, she is very happy. Come in, come in. You must be tired from walking. Come in and have a drink of water first."

After saying that, she went over to help the man with the things in his hand. Her eyes fell on his face. Seeing that he was tall and fair, she was very satisfied and praised:

"This must be Xiao Wu, he is really a handsome man." After saying that, he enthusiastically took the hand of the woman behind him:

"Mother Wu, please come in."

Several people entered the house, Wang Mingfang arranged for them to sit down, and then shouted to the kitchen:

"Shanshan, the guests are here, bring out the sweet soup quickly."

The matchmaker immediately took over the conversation and praised:

"Our Shanshan is not only beautiful, but also very hardworking. She is good at cooking and washing clothes at home."

After a while, He Shanshan came out with two bowls of sugar-water eggs. She put the sugar water on the table and said politely to the two women:

"Hello, auntie." Then she looked at the man again and said shyly:

"Hello."

The man looked at her. The woman in front of him was wearing a bright red dress. Her two braids were tied with blue ribbons. Her face was deliberately painted white with two smears of blush on it. Her eyebrows were thick and thick, and she wore pink eyeshadow and bright red lipstick. Her whole body was colorful and really... festive.

"Hello." The man retracted his gaze and responded politely.

"Oh, look at this young man and the young girl standing together, they are such a perfect match." The matchmaker clapped her hands and immediately started praising them.

The two parents in the room also laughed. He Shanshan blushed at the praise, lowered her head, and whispered:

"Auntie, you guys eat first. There's more food inside. I'll get it later." After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

The matchmaker gently pushed the man and said:

"Xiao Wu, go help Shan Shan."

The man named Xiao Wu nodded politely, walked into the kitchen, took the bowl from He Shanshan and said:

"Let me do it."

"Be careful of the burns." He Shanshan pinched her throat and reminded gently.

"It's okay." The man didn't stay for long and walked out with the bowl.

This man's appearance was indeed better than any other man He Shanshan had met before, but He Shanshan was still a little dissatisfied. Zhou Zheng was Zhou Zheng, but compared to Lu Jingzhe, he was far inferior in height, body shape, appearance and temperament.

But judging from how he and the woman were dressed, their family conditions must be good. He Shanshan pursed her lips, having already reluctantly accepted it in her heart, and walked out with the last bowl of sugar-water eggs.

After they finished drinking the sweet soup in the living room, the elders started chatting about family matters. The atmosphere was very pleasant. He Shanshan gave them melon seeds and candies from time to time, looking very well-behaved.

The man sat aside, answering whatever was asked and being very polite, but he did not speak to He Shanshan alone.

After about an hour, the well-dressed woman said to Wang Mingfang:

"It's getting late, we'll go back first. Sorry for disturbing you today."

According to the rules, the first meeting usually does not take place at the woman's home for dinner, so Wang Mingfang did not invite anyone to stay. He smiled warmly, took the woman's hand and said:

"Xiao Wu's mother, please come over often when you have time. I really like Xiao Wu."

"I think Shanshan likes her too." The woman replied politely.

The few of them didn't stay any longer. After saying goodbye, they walked out of the Lu family. Wang Mingfang and He Shanshan politely escorted them out of the yard and waved goodbye with a smile.

When Xia Qingning heard no more noise outside the house, she stood up, walked to the window, and looked up. Sure enough, she saw the man looking towards Mai Miao's house frequently as he walked, his face full of anticipation.

But until they reached the end of the compound, no one came out, and the man's face visibly changed from expectation to disappointment.

When she could no longer see anyone, Xia Qingning turned around with a smile, took the clothes she had altered for Mai Miao and walked out.

"She's smart enough to hide in the house and not come out just now." He Shanshan spat behind Xia Qingning, then sat down on the chair with her legs spread apart, no longer as gentle and virtuous as she was just now.

"That means I've lost two eggs." Wang Mingfang felt distressed, then looked at He Shanshan and asked:

"What do you think of this Xiao Wu? I think he's pretty good."

"Let's leave it that way." He Shanshan looked reluctant.

"Then I'll tell the matchmaker that you don't like her and ask them not to come again in the future." Wang Mingfang knew that her daughter was saying one thing and thinking another, so she teased her deliberately.

"Oh, Mom, that's not what I meant." He Shanshan got anxious and immediately made her attitude clear:

"I think she's OK."

"Looking at Xiao Wu and his mother's attitude, this thing is likely to be done." Wang Mingfang said confidently, and then warned He Shanshan:

"Don't make trouble again! You just heard that his parents are both working, and the salary of the family of three alone adds up to several hundred yuan a month."

He Shanshan's eyes sparkled, as if the several hundred dollars were already hers. She looked at Wang Mingfang and said:

"When we get married, I want three turns and one ring, plus 800 milk money."

The mother and daughter happily began to plan how many tables to set up for the wedding, who to invite, and what kind of gift to ask for.
