Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen's face darkened when he heard his mother's last sentence.

So everything I said before was just a setup for the fact that he has a big butt.

"Alright, alright, young people have their own way of getting along, so stop nagging!" Mr. Ye directly pressed Mrs. Ye back into her seat.

Mother Ye continued, "These days, all the girls are as thin as sticks. Let me tell you, I've observed that Yuanyuan is a good mother..."

"Mom, stop talking. She doesn't like our family. She's already made up her mind!" Ye Chen was speechless.

Of course, Ye Chen admitted that there was some truth to what his mother said.

"Ah, they don't think much of our family..." Mother Ye's words stopped abruptly halfway through.

After a moment, she clicked her tongue with a regretful look: "Alas, what a pity!"

Just as they were eating and chatting, someone called out from outside the door, "Is Chunlan home?"

Mother Ye was slightly taken aback: "Why is Sister-in-law Xiuying here?"

Mother Ye put down her bowl and hurried out: "Yes, it's Sister Ying. Have you eaten yet?"

Ye Chen also knew that Sister Xiuying; she was a relative, so he had to call her "Auntie"!

Sister-in-law Xiuying didn't seem inclined to sit down; she exchanged a few polite words with Mother Ye outside.

Ye Chen didn't care at first, thinking it was just neighbors chatting casually.

However, she overheard the two of them steer the conversation toward him.

Sister Xiuying lowered her voice and said, "The girl from Caihua's family at the south end of the village is back. I saw she's quite beautiful. Isn't Ye Chen back? I was thinking of introducing him to her!"

"Hiss—is this appropriate? The girl already has a boyfriend, right? Don't try to play matchmaker!" Mother Ye said hesitantly.

"Hey, I heard from Caihua that her daughter is still single and is now developing her career in Lucheng. I heard she's even a manager!" Sister Xiuying said with a smile.

"I see. Well, then I'll ask Chen'er!" Mother Ye said thoughtfully.

"Hey, what else is there to ask? Parents should worry about these things. Let's just leave it at that. Let's arrange a time this afternoon for the young people to meet. Wait for my call!" Sister Xiuying waved her hand.

Ye's mother opened her mouth, intending to refuse, since her son's decision was ultimately his own.

However, considering that Ye Chen is also single, she, as his mother, really can't miss any opportunity to advance.

"Alright, let the young people meet then. Whether it works out or not is another matter, but if it does, I'll give you a big red envelope!" Mother Ye finally agreed.

Giving the matchmaker a red envelope is a must. In fact, in this area, you have to give them something regardless of whether the relationship goes through or not.

Xiuying's sister-in-law left happily.

"Hehe, a win-win situation!" Xiuying's wife couldn't help but mutter to herself after walking away.

Little did they know that Ye Chen had overheard their entire conversation.

Having such good hearing can be a problem, Ye Chen said, adding that it wasn't his intention to eavesdrop.

When Ye's mother returned, she smiled and looked at Ye Chen: "Son, I have good news for you!"

Ye Chen said casually, "What good news? Tell me first, aren't you going on this blind date?"

Ye's mother's words froze in mid-air; she almost grabbed a stool and chopped it at her son!

Mr. Ye's hearing was clearly better than before, and he probably heard the conversation. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke:

"Chen'er, you should still go and see him. You can't predict fate. Your mother and I were introduced by someone!"

Ye Chen looked at the two elders on his left and right. If he said no again, would he be hit by a doubles brawl?

Well, there's nothing urgent anyway, so I'll go take a look.

Seriously, it's unbelievable that I'd be set up on a blind date even after going back to the countryside.

Even rabbits know not to eat the grass near their burrows!

If I find someone from the same village, well, if we have a fight later, won't my brother-in-law come knocking on my door in no time?

Ye Chen knew Caihua's daughter; she was his elementary school classmate, but now he only had a vague impression of her.

After all, we hadn't seen each other since graduating from elementary school.

Ye Chen tried hard to recall her name, but embarrassingly... he couldn't remember.

Never mind, I don't know!

Let alone his elementary school classmates, he has forgotten the names of several of his college classmates even two years after graduation.

"Okay, okay, I'll go. What's her name again?" Ye Chen finally gave in.

It's just a formality anyway.

Besides, there aren't any Western restaurants in their village, so where can they go for a blind date? They can't exactly go into the woods, can they?

"How would I remember what her name is? I'll ask your Aunt Ying later!" Ye's mother rolled her eyes.

However, she was still very happy that Ye Chen agreed to go on the blind date.

Ye Chen is not young anymore; he's been out of school for two years. She thought he and Chen Shuyuan would end up together, but look what happened.

About half an hour later, Ye's mother received a phone call.

The caller was Sister Xiuying. Ye's mother answered the phone with a smile, saying "uh-huh," "ah," "oh," and "uh-huh" several times, and finally set the time and place for the blind date.

The blind date was scheduled for 5 p.m., when it wasn't so hot, so the young people could sit down and talk calmly.

The blind date location: the ancestral hall!

Ye Chen was completely stunned when he heard that he was going to the ancestral hall for a blind date.

Holy crap, what kind of operation is this? Shouldn't we have our ancestors check it out?

The woman's name was also found out; it was Ye Ziqing. Although they shared the same surname, Ye, they were not related by blood within three generations, so it didn't prevent them from dating.

Never mind, I'll bring some offerings over this afternoon and pay respects to my ancestors while I'm at it!

Around 2:30 PM, the trading system cooled down, and Ye Chen exchanged for another 5 disease-curing pills.

There's not much else to replace.

Ye Chen circled around his house but couldn't trigger the temporary trading item again, leaving him quite helpless.

Consider this a way to stock up on inventory!

If he waits until he has completed 200 attempts and there are new items available, he might not choose to exchange for the disease-curing pill.

The cumulative number of transactions has now reached 121, and dawn is just around the corner.

After this exchange, he didn't have much flour left, which meant it was about time to head back.

Ye Chen plans to return home early tomorrow morning.

Old Xie and Old Zhou just sent him messages asking where he was, and we almost reported him missing.

At 4:50 p.m., Ye Chen carried incense, candles, and a bag of fruit and snacks and went straight to the ancestral hall.

When he arrived at 4:58, the ancestral hall was empty.

Ye Chen found the location where the key was hidden, opened the side door, went straight in, arranged the offerings and lit incense, and then came to the main entrance.

He checked the time; it was already 5:05. Where was everyone?

Wasn't it supposed to be 5 o'clock?

Ye Chen didn't just wait around. He went inside, took out the gold paper and the Heaven and Earth Coins, and lit them in an iron barrel.

The main feature is burning paper money while waiting.

About 10 minutes later, the woman still hadn't shown up.

Ye Chen was speechless. If someone isn't even this enthusiastic about blind dates, they must have something wrong with their head.

I've been waiting for her for 15 minutes already.

A few more minutes passed before Ye Chen finally saw a figure.

A girl in a white dress walked over, her hair flowing down her shoulders.

Whether he exudes an ethereal aura or not, Ye Chen doesn't know, but he certainly does at night.
