Blind date under the kerosene lamp

At the end of 1982, after three years as a soldier, I was allowed to return home to visit my family.

A few days after I came home, my grandmother, my mother and my second brother asked me to go on a blind date.

What's the kiss? Who are you dating?

In my impression, marrying a daughter-in-law in my hometown is no less difficult than ascending to heaven. Like my eldest brother, I found a bully girl in the village, and the process was like a child going through the house: today because I didn't help her family carry water, I was clamoring to ruin the marriage; tomorrow, because I invited her family to dinner, I was rude and impersonal, shouting to break up; the day after tomorrow, because the eldest brother did not lift the face washing water to honor his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he blew his nose and stared at his eyes...

Looking at big brother's wife journey like a swamp, I was afraid! I'm not confident!

But looking at my mother's poor baba's eyes like begging for me, I can't bear to be sharp, so try it!

According to the opinion of the family, the first blind date was Lan from the village. Lan was two years younger than me, and she was fifteen when I was seventeen when I was a soldier. I didn't talk to each other before I became a soldier, and three years after I became a soldier, I don't know how she became. I just heard my family say that it was the most beautiful in our village, and I always listened to my grandmother repeatedly nagging: People have a mouth and a hand and a pair...

The blind date goal was set, one day after dinner

The night had just enveloped the small mountain village, and I felt a small drum in my heart and set off with the second brother.

Arriving at Lan's doorstep, the second brother knocked softly on the door first, the door opened gently, revealing a shy and handsome face in the crack of the door, a soft, soft, sweet voice: Second brother... Third brother... Come in and sit!

After entering the door, I timidly swept away: there was a kerosene lamp on the dining table in the middle of the hall, and under the reflection of a small beam of white light from the kerosene lamp, I could see clearly: Lan himself was chopping pig grass in a corner, and Lan's father, mother, brothers, sisters, and sisters were all around the fire and roasting fire...

After entering the hall, my second brother and I sat on two straw piers that their family had given up. Since I was a child, I have been introverted and talked less, and I have been keeping my head down for about two hours a night without saying a few words, but the big grinning second brother Dong Lashi has nothing to say and lan's family to find idle chatter...

One night, I can't remember if I said two words, I only clearly remember that after Lan chopped up the pig grass, she went to the cauldron and filled the basin of water and carried it to me: The third brother came to wash his feet...

I refused, I was embarrassed to wash, I did not dare to wash!

After about two hours, my second brother and I left. Out of Lan's house, I felt sore and numb, especially my neck was sore! Good sour!

One night, the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, the head did not dare to lift, and the body was uncomfortable! Blind date is so tired! Tired!

After that night's blind date under the kerosene lamp, I never boarded those two wooden doors again.

My half-month vacation is about to be full, and before leaving, my mother invited a prestigious elder to visit the Lan family: Do you like my stuffy gourd?

Lan's parents said: Like it, the old like the small one also likes, just have to wait, because before I went to her house, Lan had been promised by her parents to be a close relative of her family, but Lan did not agree, and was planning to withdraw from the marriage, and she would talk about the marriage after the marriage contract was dissolved.

I was worried that the long wait would be fruitless, so the blind date under the kerosene lamp quietly turned off.

Decades have passed, I don't know why, the first blind date under the oil lamp in my life is still fresh in my memory...
