Yuan Xudong found two new quilts in the warehouse at home, and he and Fuwang walked out holding one. When they were going out, they happened to bump into Yuan's mother leading guests to the house.
After this period of self-cultivation and no worries, Yuan's mother recovered more than half of her body. She went out for a walk every day and made two friends of the same age. Her mental outlook was completely new.
Mother Yuan looked at the two people moving away like crabs, and quickly stepped forward to block the way. She opened the quilt in front of Yuan Xudong and looked him up and down, "What do you mean? Are you planning to run away from home?"
Yuan Xudong giggled, "No, I have a friend who has no place to stay, so I let her sleep in a hotel. I'm still missing two quilts."
"Okay, then you go and send it off." Mother Yuan let go, and then added after thinking: "Don't stay in the mutton restaurant all day long, why don't you go out more and make some friends? Make money.
No matter how much is too much, it is better to marry a wife as soon as possible and settle down."
When Yuan Xudong heard this, his head started to throb, "My dear mother, let's stop reading. You can have tea and chat with your friends. My son has something else to do, so go ahead!"
After saying that, he greased the soles of his feet and ran away. He tripped over the threshold before taking two steps and fell over.
Mother Yuan covered her face in disgust, "This unlucky kid will be embarrassed all day long."
"I think this child is quite good. He has a good temper, is filial, and can also make money." The old woman who followed her in said, "It's a pity. If my Yu'er hadn't gotten married early, we would still be able to make money."
Let’s get married!”
Mother Yuan took her arm and invited her into the main room and said, "Sister, to be honest, I invited you here this time for Xudong's marriage. You must have known a lot of people since you have lived in Shitou Town for decades.
A girl from a good family, can you help me introduce one?"
"You have asked the right person this time! A family has just moved next door to my house. The daughter of that family is beautiful, tall, and speaks softly and softly, just like a little flower. I like her just looking at her!"
The old woman was even more excited than finding someone to get married to herself: "And it just so happened that the girl's father asked me to introduce a suitable young talent to her the day before yesterday. Now you ask me for help again. We can all go together. The two of them can't
Is it destiny?"
Mother Yuan asked worriedly: "What is her character like? It doesn't matter whether she is beautiful or not. What matters is that she has good character. If she has bad character, she won't want her even if she grows up to be an immortal."
The old woman patted the back of her hand and reassured her: "Don't worry, she must be a good character. I lost my bracelet outside a while ago and couldn't find it after looking for it for a long time. In the end, she helped me find it. You said she is so warm-hearted."
How could the girl’s character be so bad?”
"It sounds really good, but I don't know if such a girl can fall in love with Xudong." Yuan's mother was worried. Although her son had many advantages, he was a little older and a little thinner, but he was excellent in everything.
The girl may not like him.
The old woman put her hands on her hands and laughed, "Don't worry about this. The girl's father also said that he does not require a man to be more handsome or have a rich family property. As long as he has good character and is easy to get along with his mother-in-law."
"Which of these requirements does your family not meet? I would say that they are a match made in heaven. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
Mother Yuan was moved by what she said, "How about you take me over to have a look, just take a few glances from a distance. I have an idea, so I can tell Xudong later."
"This is a simple matter. She should be at home now. How about we go directly?"
"OK!"
The two hit it off immediately, and they left the house in high spirits before their buttocks were still hot.
It was a coincidence that as soon as I passed the street in front of my house, I turned a corner and happened to meet the girl the old woman said was out shopping for groceries.
Mother Yuan took a general glance. She had an oval face, lychee eyes, and bright brows. She was indeed an upright and orderly beauty, as her friend said.
What's more important is that she has a heroic appearance and a dashing demeanor. Such a girl looks like a generous person at first glance, which is much better than the delicate and fragile Xiao Jiaohua who cries all day long!
Mother Yuan fell in love with the girl in front of her at a glance, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
The old woman touched her shoulder and said, "What do you think? Do you like it?"
"Yes, this girl can do it." Mother Yuan nodded repeatedly, "Sister, please help me go to the girl's house to find out what's going on. If they agree, we can make an appointment for the two children to meet."
"I'll knock on her door in a while." The old woman raised her head proudly, "Don't worry, sister, as long as I help, this thing will definitely happen!"
Not far away, the girl hiding in the corner heard the conversation between the two clearly. When she heard the last sentence, she curled her lips and revealed a sinister smile.
"Damn old woman, you are happy too soon."
The voice was gentle and soft, but it contained a biting chill.

Yuan Xudong spent a lot of effort to clean the utility room opposite the kitchen, made the bed, drank a pot of tea, and breathed out refreshed: "It's so tiring to pack things, I originally wanted to go there
I secretly rented a small house to live in, but now I feel it’s not necessary.”
Fuwang muttered in a low voice: "You are probably afraid that the old lady will find out and have your legs broken."
"Do you believe I'm going to break your legs right now?" Yuan Xudong raised his right hand and glared at him fiercely, "Go to the kitchen and get me a bowl of haggis, I'm starving to death."
"Here we go!" Fuwang crossed the threshold in one step and ran faster than a rabbit.
Yuan Xudong looked back at his neatly made bed, nodded with satisfaction, and couldn't help but praise himself: "I am really a good family man."
After boasting, he rolled his sleeves and went to the front shop to concentrate on waiting for his meal.
Meng Qiyun, who was also sitting in the store counting money, looked up at him when he heard the noise, and couldn't help but look at him twice more.
Yuan Xudong touched his chin and looked at her with a smile, "What's wrong? Did you find that your Uncle Yuan has become handsome again?"
Meng Qiyun rolled his eyelids upwards and rolled his eyes upwards, giving him a standard big eye roll. At the same time, he gloated: "You are going to be unlucky, a peach blossom disaster, sad and harmful to your body."
?
Yuan Xudong: "Are you serious? I'm planning to seal off my love and end up alone until I grow old. How can I be lucky?"
"You also said your plan, hasn't it been sealed yet?"
Yuan Xudong felt a little scared, so he dragged his stool and sat across from her, his eyes bright: "Can you solve it?"
Meng Qiyun unhurriedly put the amount of silver into the money box, raised his head and said: "I took some talismans to ward off evil spirits and ensure safety from my mother, and I can sell you one."
Yuan Xudong reached out and tore off his purse, pouring out a pile of copper coins, "I've given them all to you."
"Twenty taels of silver a piece." Meng Qiyun glanced at him sideways, not taking that small amount of money seriously at all.
Yuan Xudong: "Does your mother know that you are cheating your own people like this?"
Meng Qiyun explained calmly: "There are still twenty taels left to make up."
