Chapter 347 A match made in heaven

Author: Hometown Three Thousand Miles

June 19th, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, is the Dragon Boat Festival.

For Yan Xin, it was another day of sleeping until he woke up naturally.

However, his work and rest schedule was normal, and he woke up early, before seven o'clock.

I lay on the bed for a few minutes, looked at my phone, and then got up.

Father Yan is not at home. He got so much mugwort and calamus yesterday and wants to take them to the town to sell them today. He was late and there was no business, so he set off before dawn and had breakfast in the town.

——Usually, it means eating two steamed buns and drinking a bowl of porridge for one or two yuan.

Yan Xin needs to make breakfast for himself.

Seeing that it was still early, he didn't rush to make breakfast. Instead, he went out for a run and ran on the path in the field for more than half an hour before returning.

When I came home, I saw Bai Xiaoling waiting at the door of his house pushing a bicycle.

When I saw him coming from a distance, I waved and said hello: "Brother Xin, you are back!"

Yan Xin was a little puzzled and asked with a smile: "What are you waiting for here?"

"Do you want to buy tofu today?" Bai Xiaoling asked.

Then he added: "It's the festival today, and tofu is very popular. There are only a few pieces left. I'll keep them for you."

Yan Xin scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He really had no intention of eating tofu today.

Tofu is not particularly delicious. I ate so much yesterday that there is no need to eat more today.

It's not that I'm reluctant to spend money. Tofu costing 50 cents a piece is worth a few dollars, so there's no loss in buying it and throwing it away.

If you just buy it and throw it away without eating, it would be a waste of food. As a farmer's son, he cannot accept such a thing.

He smiled and said, "You can leave this opportunity to others. Our family ate tofu yesterday. It doesn't matter if we don't eat it today."

Bai Xiaoling said, "Okay, I'll sell it to someone else later."

Today is a festival, and there are more people buying tofu than usual - it is a dish after all, and it is not shameful to have a plate of it during the festival, and it is more respectable than putting some pickled products on the table.

Before reaching the twelfth group, there were only a few yuan left.

Even if Yan Xin doesn't want it, she won't worry about not being able to sell it.

It doesn't matter even if you can't sell it, there are only a few pieces of tofu left, you can eat it yourself.

She has been waiting here for more than ten minutes, not to sell Yan Xin a few pieces of tofu, this is just an excuse.

After talking about the tofu thing, he lowered his voice and said, "Yesterday I asked my mother about a matchmaker who wanted to introduce her to your father -"

Yan Xin quickly asked: "What did your mother say?"

"My mother said that a matchmaker did tell her about this. She originally agreed and thought it would be okay..." As she said that, Bai Xiaoling's eyes showed some resentment, "But she also said that the matchmaker later told her

, your father looked down upon her, and then he no longer had the intention..."

Yan Xin was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself: "Is my dad so fierce? He said it so directly?"

No matter how you think about it, it's not his father's speaking style.

So he shook his head and firmly denied: "That's impossible! It must be the matchmaker's nonsense! How could my dad say such a thing?"

Bai Xiaoling said: "I don't think your dad would be so direct, maybe he just means this..."

Yan Xin thought: "That's indeed what it means."

But he still didn't admit it and said: "My dad mentioned this to me, which means that I need to think about it, and he didn't mean to say he doesn't like it."

"Then what are you thinking about? My mother is such a diligent and thrifty person, and your father is also an honest person. They are both middle-aged and widowed. Isn't it a match made in heaven?" Bai Xiaoling was a little anxious.

"Marriage is not a trivial matter, so it must be carefully considered." Yan Xin said.

Bai Xiaoling said: "But, but they are already that age. If you think about it again, everyone is old..."

What she said is also true.

In terms of age, they are all in their forties and can only be described as middle-aged.

However, if you waste a few more years, you will really get old.

Yan Xin felt sad after hearing this, and thought it made so much sense.

That’s not to say that finding a partner doesn’t require consideration, but it certainly shouldn’t be considered for too long, especially for older people who don’t have so much time to waste.

He said: "What you said makes sense. I need to persuade my dad."

After saying this, he asked Bai Xiaoling: "Then what does your mother mean? She won't listen to the matchmaker's nonsense and have a problem with my father, right?"

"Um..." Bai Xiaoling hesitated for a moment and said, "It may be a bit of a misunderstanding, but it's not a big deal. She thinks your dad is a pretty good person, honest and trustworthy."

It can be seen from her reaction that her mother has some opinions about being rejected, but not much.

Yan Xin was relieved now.

What he didn't know was how much ideological work Bai Xiaoling had done for her mother yesterday, and she even talked about her future with her mother:

"You also know that I will definitely not be able to go to college. I can only work part-time, and I don't have much ability. It is difficult to find a good job. I have to rely on myself. I don't know how difficult it will be in the future. If you marry Yan Xin, he

Dad, doesn’t Yan Xin become my brother? He is so capable, won’t he help me a little in the future? "

When she said this, her mother thought it was true.

Even though I felt a little aggrieved by being rejected at first, for the sake of my daughter's future happiness, I just had to endure it.

Besides, Dad Yan is not a bad person.

An honest and responsible person will not bring surprises to himself in life, but generally it will not bring disasters.

Bai Xiaoling said again:

"If you don't find a partner, it will be a big problem for me to get married in the future. Then when others see the situation of our family, they will have to provide for you in old age if you marry me. How big a burden will it be? Who would dare to marry me?

?If you get married to Yan Xin’s father, and the Yan family’s family conditions are so good, they will naturally support you in your old age, and people won’t have such worries about me.”

Her mother was angry: "So you just wanted to sell me, your mother, for a good price just for your happiness."

Bai Xiaoling hurriedly laughed: "It's okay, mom, don't worry, I won't take any of the bride price, I'll give it all to you!"

Her mother looked at her in shock: "What are you thinking? I, a widow in my forties, have remarried and I still want a bride price?"

Bai Xiaoling said: "We won't ask for it, but I think if people respect you, they should be interested no matter what."

Her mother snorted: "Even if someone gives it to us, we can't accept it. If we accept it, we won't respect ourselves."

"Okay, okay, if you don't accept it, don't accept it," Bai Xiaoling said.

Then he said: "I'm not saying it's for my own good. It's just that if you marry Yan Xin's father, I can get some benefits, but the one who gets the biggest benefit is you, isn't it? Look at that house.

Look at our houses. How big is the difference? His son is so promising and earns tens of thousands a month.

You are still a filial child, as long as you marry and treat your father well, then he can ignore you in the future? You also know me, it is difficult to support yourself, can you really point to me to provide for you in old age?

It would be much more enjoyable for a promising person like Yan Xin to be a stepmother than for me to be my biological mother."

After all kinds of persuasion, her mother finally agreed and gave her these words:

"Anyway, I have no objection. If someone is willing to live with me, then I will agree. If not, I will not rush to ask for it. These years have been so difficult, I have survived it alone, and I will not be afraid in the future.

.”

With this, Bai Xiaoling had the confidence to tell Yan Xin about this matter.

She is very concerned about this matter and feels that this is a major asset restructuring project that can optimize resources and achieve a win-win situation.

I stood there pushing my bicycle and talked to Yan Xin for more than ten minutes, and then both of them realized that the only obstacle to completing this project was Yan's father.

As long as Dad Yan is dealt with, the matter will be considered a success.

But Yan Xin himself has no confidence in whether he can handle Yan's father.

He told Bai Xiaoling: "My dad is too introverted and honest. He doesn't tell anyone what he thinks. He thinks highly of your mom. I think it is possible. We can't be too hasty.

You have to do it slowly."

Bai Xiaoling was a little anxious: "I think it's better to get it done earlier so that we don't delay each other."

In order to make Yan Xin have a sense of crisis, he added: "My mother has always wanted to find someone to marry. In the past, it was because she had to support my education, so others did not dare to talk to her. Now I have graduated from high school and have taken the college entrance examination."

If she doesn't marry, it means she has no burden, and it will be much easier for her to get married again. I saw a matchmaker come to my door the day before yesterday. Although I don't know what they were talking about, I guess it was this."

Yan Xin fell silent.

Bai Xiaoling quickly expressed her loyalty: "Of course, brother, I still hope that we can become a family. But your father started early, otherwise I will have to be someone else's sister."

Yan Xin glanced at her and thought: "It doesn't matter if you have a younger sister or not. It doesn't matter if you don't want this younger sister... But that mother is indeed a good woman who is diligent and thrifty. If my father can marry such a woman, what will happen in the future?"

Life should be pretty good."

He said: "Well, let me talk to my dad again and let him make a decision as soon as possible. As long as he doesn't object, I will visit Matchmaker Wang in the afternoon and let her make an agreement."

Bai Xiaoling was overjoyed: "That's what we should do!"
