Chapter 237 I hope to share my uncle’s luck with the koi carp
It's not that Jinbao can't understand Grandma's worries, but Grandma hastily asked a matchmaker to find a wife for her little uncle, and he will definitely be disgusted with it.
"Uncle, you will be angry..."
After Jin Bao finished speaking, Zhang Guilan was also worried, "Mom, you'd better ask Lao Wu first."
"If I ask him, he will definitely disagree. Hey, that child..."
Jinbao probably knew a little about blind dates in rural areas in this era. He could sum it up in one sentence, "On a blind date, we are speechless. We all rely on the matchmaker to set the line."
The man and woman were far apart, so they could probably see each other's faces, and it was not one-on-one. They had to sit together in a room, for fear of affecting the girl's reputation.
If the villages of two families are too far apart, they can only rely on word-of-mouth introductions from matchmakers, and they cannot even meet in person. Usually they have to wait until the wedding day to meet.
This is no different from ancient times.
"Blind marriage, dumb marriage... are not good," Jinbao was worried that grandma and aunt would be suspicious, and added, "Dad told Mom."
Li Xiu'e touched the little baby's head and said, "Your parents are different. They know a lot of people in big cities. There is no social gathering in your father's factory. I heard that they will organize dances for men and women, but we don't have that in rural areas."
"Yes," Zhang Guilan sighed, "We rural people don't pay much attention to appearance when marrying a wife, as long as she is down-to-earth and capable. In fact, it doesn't matter whether we met before marriage or not, life can always go on."
"Hey, Jinbao, your little uncle just wants to imitate your father and always thinks about finding the girl he likes and marrying him like him. But our village is so small, where is the girl he can get to know?"
Speaking of this, she became more determined to let Xiaomeng get married as soon as possible and not to delay it any longer.
On the same day, Zhang Guilan told her husband that her mother wanted to find a matchmaker.
In less than a day, except for Su Xiaomeng who was kept in the dark, everyone in the old Su family knew.
"Why do you think Mom suddenly wants to find a matchmaker for Lao Wu to go on a blind date?"
Su Siyong's daughter-in-law Ye Xiangqin took her son to sit in her mother-in-law's house.
She was found by Zhang Guilan, mainly to ask if she knew any reliable matchmaker.
"Don't ask, I'm so angry just thinking about it," Li Xiu'e said angrily, "As for the sister-in-law of Lao Ma's family, I have never seen such a thick-skinned person. She doesn't even know Xiao Meng, but she actually let her
My sister touches Xiaomeng’s hand to test his character..."
Jinbao had never heard grandma mention the matter of character testing before, so now he pricked up his ears.
Zhao Fengzhu was sitting on the armchair, with the sewing box she asked her elder brother to buy in town.
While using rags to sew swaddling clothes for her unborn child, she curiously asked: "Mom, what does testing character mean? I heard from the villagers that Xu Dongmei's sister asked Lao Wu for a partner. Is this really true?
?”
"Can there be any fake ones?"
Li Xiu'e told what happened when she saw Xu Dongmei touching Xiao Meng's hand.
She said that she initially thought that Xu Dongmei wanted to hook up with Xiaomeng, but she didn't expect that it was her sister who was deliberately instigating it behind her back.
"Then Xu Dongmei is also extremely stupid," Li Xiu'e said very speechlessly, "If I tell her husband's family what she did, her life will not be easy."
Zhao Fengzhu put down her needlework and said with a touch of excitement in her voice, "Mom, let's go to Lao Ma's house and talk. These two sisters have done such shameless things. We can't just take advantage of them."
"I think Xu Dongmei has been married to the Ma family for less than half a year. She is so young, forget it..."
"Mom, you are just too soft-hearted. This kind of woman is dishonest. Her sister asked her to touch a man's hand, and she touched it seriously. What good thing could it be? Maybe she is also interested in Lao Wu. If it were changed
Being me, I will definitely not make it easy for her."
Before Zhao Fengzhu could continue, Zhang Guilan frowned and said, "Okay, don't make any more trouble. The problem now is for Lao Wu to quickly find a good girl and get married. If things get too big, it won't be good for Lao Wu either."
.”
"Why did I cause trouble? I just don't like Xu Dongmei. She's already married, and she touched the young man's hand. What a slutty thing, bah!"
Li Xiu'e couldn't help but think of things that Lao Er and Liu Shumei didn't know before.
Fortunately, Fengzhu didn't know about this matter. With her character, if she knew about it, she would definitely cause an uproar.
"Fengzhu, have you forgotten what the doctor said? Don't get angry."
"Mom, I'm not angry, don't worry."
Feeling that her mother-in-law was caring about her, Zhao Fengzhu smiled and touched her belly.
Since returning from the county health center, her relationship with her mother-in-law has become much better than before.
In the past, she always felt that her mother-in-law treated her as an outsider and would not give her any delicious food. She was afraid that one day she and her children would starve to death, and her mother-in-law would not care. Until that day when she suffered a heavy hemorrhage, the whole family was there for her.
Worry……
Now she thinks her mother-in-law is pretty good!
Yao Hua came back after buying rice and noodles, and her mother-in-law cooked them specially for her. In the first few days, she even had a heart-to-heart talk with her, telling her not to think too much and to have a good pregnancy at home.
In addition, because her husband was extra considerate and caring to her, she felt better and her thoughts changed. She regarded Er Zhuang's brother as her own brother instead of an outsider, and she would no longer be jealous of Lao Wu for being the captain of the production team.
Now Zhao Fengzhu only occasionally quarrels with her sister-in-law, but most of the time they are in harmony.
Now that she heard that her mother was going to find a wife for the fifth child, she also hoped that she would be capable and easy to get along with, so she couldn't help but give her advice.
"Speaking of matchmakers, there is a matchmaker in my village who is pretty good, and the price of the matchmaker is not high. I remember the introduction fee is 20 cents. If the matter is successful, I will charge another 20 cents, saying that it is a good thing in pairs."
Li Xiu'e hurriedly asked: "Is the introduction fee money for introducing a person?"
"No, it doesn't matter if it's one or ten, it's still two cents until you get it right."
"The price is not expensive, but your village is too far away, Fengzhu, and you have to climb mountains."
At this time, Ye Xiangqin turned to her sister-in-law and asked, "My sister-in-law's family is close to her family and there are many brothers in the family. Don't you know any good matchmakers?"
"There was a good one in the past. He lived to be seventy-eight last year and is no longer alive."
It is not easy to be a matchmaker in rural areas. You need to have many and wide connections. For example, they must know whose son or daughter in the surrounding villages has reached the age of marriage.
Li Xiu'e sighed, "The matchmaker in our village joined the army with his soldier son last year. Now there is no matchmaker in the village, otherwise I wouldn't be so worried."
Little Jinbao listened to his grandma sighing and thought that if he really had the luck of the koi, he hoped to share it with his little uncle so that he could find the most suitable partner.
Just as she was thinking of this, her fourth uncle's urgent voice came from outside the door, "It's not good, mother, it's not good, something happened to Xiao Meng!"
