When Liang Xiaonan got up in the morning, Xiao Hongyu came to her home and told her that Zhang Xinyi was going to work in Modu.
"What kind of bad luck do you think she had? It is said that Chen Shikai saved a woman when he was a child, and that woman happened to be the leader of Modu. Now she came to repay her kindness, and she immediately arranged jobs for both of them."
Xiao Hongyu was really envious and also very angry. Since childhood, Zhang Xinyi had always looked down on Xiao Hongyu and Liang Xiaonan because of their better family conditions.
"We may not be able to live well in the countryside, so don't be angry."
Liang Xiaonan was telling the truth. If she could succeed in growing potatoes with Zhou Yan, the money she would earn in one year would be more than what Zhang Xinyi and Chen Shikai would earn in a lifetime.
"How can I not be angry? Originally, Chen Shikai was supposed to marry you, but this time it was you who went to Modu to work as a worker." Xiao Hongyu said, "Zhang Xinyi and her mother worked together to steal your marriage."
"What can be snatched away means that it shouldn't belong to me, and it's not pleasant to force them together." Liang Xiaonan didn't want to talk too much about this matter with her, so he asked her if the fried snails were sold well?
"That one sells very well, but there are fewer and fewer snails. My brother and dad have gone to find them for me, but there are still not enough."
"If you can't find it, don't do it. The potatoes grown by my fish pond will mature after a while. When the time comes, you can sell potato dishes and set up a stall in the town, and you will definitely make money."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your potatoes." Xiao Hongyu mainly felt sorry for Liang Xiaonan. Seeing that she wasn't angry, she felt at ease.
Zeng Hanzhi was so urged by Zhou Yan that he didn't go to see Sister Hu at night. Even though she was a matchmaker, she needed to rest.
Zhou Yan urged her to go quickly the next morning, so that Sister Hu would not be able to find anyone after being out for a day. Zeng Hanzhi went to find Sister Hu without washing the pot.
When Zeng Hanzhi went to see Sister Hu this time, she was not as empty-handed as before. She brought 5 yuan and a basket of eggs.
"You have to work hard again and tell Grandma Liang that we are very satisfied with Xiaonan and want our two children to get married."
Zeng Hanzhi also told Sister Hu that if the marriage could come true, Zhou Yan would bring fresh fish and live chickens to Sister Hu, plus 20 yuan to thank the matchmaker.
When proposing marriage in Nanfeng Town, no matchmaker paid more than 10 yuan. Zhou Yan offered live chickens and fish and promised 20 yuan of matchmaker money.
Sister Hu felt that she had another happy matchmaker, and maybe her name would go down in history because of this matchmaker.
For no reason, she felt this way.
"Teacher Zeng, just keep it in your heart. I will definitely tell the two children about this. You go back and wait for my good news."
Sister Hu had a simple breakfast and then rushed to Dakeng Village. When she entered the village, she heard that Zhang Xinyi and Chen Shikai were going to work in Modu to eat commercial grain, and Liang Dazhuang and Wang Cuiying were setting up a flowing banquet to celebrate.
My heart skipped a beat, Chen Shikai was originally Liang Xiaonan's baby brother, and it was Liang Xiaonan who was supposed to go to work in Motor City. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xinyi cut her off.
I wonder if Xiaonan, the child, has a problem in his heart and looks down on Zhou Yan.
When she arrived at the Liang family's old house, Grandma Liang and Liang Xiaonan were watering the artemisia in the yard.
"Is Auntie at home?" Sister Hu shouted with a smile on her face.
"Her aunt, please come to the house quickly."
Grandma Liang ushered the people into the house, and Sister Hu said: "The Yang family has sent me a message. Their whole family likes Xiaonan very much. Look at this matter, are we determined to do it?"
Grandma Liang said: "Didn't you arrange to arrange a meeting between Xiaonan and the Yang family's grandson?"
"The grandson of the Yang family said he has met Xiaonan."
Liang Xiaonan was watering the yard and checking the growth of the artemisia annua. When he heard Sister Hu's words, he turned his face and said, "He saw me, but I haven't seen him yet."
Does she mean that the other party is peeking at her?
Sister Hu said: "I heard from Teacher Zeng that he saw you at your fish pond."
Liang Xiaonan's mind suddenly thought of Zhou Yan, who wanted to cooperate with her in growing potatoes, and asked, "Auntie, what does he look like?"
"His appearance, I guarantee you, there is no more handsome boy than him in the entire Yu County. He is tall and has a quick mind. No one can compare with him when it comes to studying."
"Does his family have 5 acres of land?"
"Yes, his grandparents said that land is a rare thing, so they gave him 5 acres in exchange. From now on, you can grow whatever you want and you will have no problem eating."
Nowadays it is not popular to talk about land, land or anything like that. Those terms are derogatory and sensitive words, and everyone who understands them will understand. Fortunately, this area of Yunshan is special. The leaders encourage independent development. Survival is important. Many villages prohibit villagers from reclaiming wasteland.
Just turn a blind eye and just pay some food.
According to Sister Hu's description, Liang Xiaonan was basically certain that the person she was getting married to was Zhou Yan, who wanted to cooperate with her in growing potatoes.
No wonder Zhou Yan said something like that when he left, "Liang Xiaonan, don't worry, I will never regret it in this life, just wait."
This person, from the moment he started asking himself if he had said goodbye, he might have had his thoughts turned to him.
Sister Hu said: "Xiaonan, there is no one else here. Tell Auntie what you think, and Auntie will give you the details."
"Auntie, I have an impression of the person you are talking about. I have indeed seen such a person. He looks really good. I don't want to rely on men to make a living. I only have one request. In the future, no matter whether he has ability or not, he must be single-minded.
When you live with me, you can't live on two boats, and you can't mess around with women. Look at Liang Jinbao in our village, he is a captain of course, and he wants to sneak into the widow's house. This is too disgusting!"
Grandma Liang hurriedly reminded her, Captain, you can't say anything.
Liang Xiaonan just pretended that he couldn't see it and continued: "If your character is not bad, your style is decent, and you don't engage in prostitution or gambling, it will not be difficult to live a good life."
Sister Hu understood what she meant and spoke directly about Zhou Yan's situation.
"Xiaonan speaks straightforwardly, and I will tell you the truth. Zhou Yan is not from Yu County. He has lived in Nanfeng Town since he was 12 years old."
"He studied very hard at the beginning. He was really smart. He followed his grandparents and knew everything. He graduated from high school before he was 15 years old, and he was always ranked first."
"He carried Professor Yang back to Modu for three years and didn't come back until he came back. After he came back, everything changed. He was a good person, but he didn't work hard anymore."
"He doesn't like farming, he likes to make friends. He's a good-looking person, but there's really nothing wrong with his style. He never lurks among women. In the past few years, I helped him meet a few people, and every time we met, he
He turned away and left, and later told me that he didn't want to find a partner."
Sister Hu laughed as she spoke and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Nan. His character is not bad and he is very filial. I can guarantee you with my reputation as a matchmaker for more than 20 years that Zhou Yan's character is absolutely reliable."
"Aunt Hu, you said his name is Zhou Yan?"
"Oh, you see I'm confused. I've always forgotten his name. His name is Zhou Yan. His parents died in an accident at sea. There are two uncles in the family, both of whom are high-ranking cadres in Modu. But you also know that the uncles are not biological fathers.
, Zhou Yan doesn’t want to rely on them.”
Liang Xiaonan was not really from the 1960s. After hearing this, she felt that although Zhou Yan was rumored badly, it was not a matter of moral character and was acceptable.
"Auntie, I have no objection, let's just stay together!"
"That's great. I'll go and reply right away. We'll formally greet you later."
The marriage is done!
Sister Hu was so happy that she came out of Liang Xiaonan's house with a happy face. She met Zhang Xinyi and Chen Shikai who were returning to their parents' home from Xiaoyun Town.
Zhang Xinyi smiled dignifiedly and politely: "Is it Aunt Hu? Are you a matchmaker for sister Xiaonan?"
