Old man Liu smiled and said: "This is Uncle Tang, I haven't seen him before."
Long Chen and Lu Ji immediately stood up to pay their respects: "I've met Uncle Tang."
This man's surname was Tang Mingfei, and he was not much older than Lu Ji. However, Lu Ji's identity at this time was Old Man Liu's eldest son, who was in his early 30s, so he still had to call him Uncle Tang.
"You're welcome, we don't have so many rules."
Tang Fei smiled and accepted the gift, then asked: "What is your nephew's name?"
Old man Liu said: "The eldest man is Liu Ping, the second man is Liu An."
Tang Fei asked again: "Have you married a wife?"
When asked about this, Old Man Liu became worried and said: "We have been hunting in the mountains for decades, how can we find a wife? There are only tigresses in the mountains."
Tang Fei smiled and said: "It's okay, this is not just moving out, there are a few girls in the town who are not yet married, I will be a matchmaker for you."
The old woman said happily: "Thank you very much. We are just hunting people. We don't have much money, so why don't you thank Uncle Tang."
Long Chen and Lu Ji immediately thanked Tang Fei.
After chatting for a while, Old Man Liu took Lu Ji and Long Chen to meet all the neighbors on the street.
Soon, everyone in Daling Town knew that Old Man Liu's two sons had arrived and they were very talented, especially Erlang Liu An.
After meeting the neighbors, Long Chen and the four of them settled in the town.
Before the plan started, Long Chen arranged for two people to enter Daling Town, namely Old Man Liu and the old woman.
As hunters in the mountains, they bought a house in the town and told the public that they had two sons who were still hunting in the mountains.
After Long Chen finished his plan, he and Lu Ji arrived at the town and settled down in Daling Town as a matter of course.
There are many hunters in the mountains. Many of them have been in the mountains all their lives and don't have much contact with other people. This identity is the most suitable.
A few days later, Long Chen was digging the soil in the yard in preparation for planting vegetables in spring.
Tang Fei opened the door and came in, followed by an old man in his 50s.
"Erlang, are you digging the ground?"
Tang Fei came in with a smile. Long Chen immediately put down his hoe and said with a smile: "Uncle Tang is here, come inside and sit down."
"Dad, Uncle Tang is here."
Old man Liu heard the sound and immediately came out to greet him.
"Brother Tang, sit inside."
"Thank you, Brother Liu."
"Who is this?"
Old man Liu looked at the person behind him, and Tang Fei immediately said: "This is Brother Yue who lives in Xitou. Counting, he is one year older than me."
Old Man Yue walked out with a smile, bowed and said: "Brother Liu has been coming to town for a long time, but he hasn't come yet. Today I will come with Brother Tang to have a look."
Old man Liu immediately smiled and said: "Brother Yue, please come in and make me a pot of tea, old lady."
The three people entered the room and sat down. The old woman immediately made tea.
The light in the room was dim, a pot of scented tea was brewed, and everyone poured a cup.
"This tea is good."
Tang Fei smelled it and the fragrance of flowers overflowed.
Old man Liu smiled and said: "The scented tea picked in the mountains is not as good as the tea from Brother Tang, so I can just drink it."
Although Tang Fei's tea powder is very poor, he still needs money to buy it.
Scented tea on the mountain is free of charge.
While drinking tea, Old Man Yue kept looking back at Long Chen who was working outside the door, and Old Man Liu guessed it.
Tang Fei said while drinking tea: "Brother Liu, you have always said that you want to find a wife for your two nephews. It just so happens that Brother Yue has a daughter at home who is also pretty. I will be a matchmaker today and bring Brother Yue here.
Take a trip."
Old man Liu said happily: "Oh, thank you very much, Brother Tang, but... we are hunters and we have no land here..."
In ancient times, fields were the foundation of life. Without fields, there would be no crops and no food.
Therefore, in the town, Old Man Liu's family is considered to be at the bottom.
Old Man Yue smiled and said: "It's okay, my family has some thin fields, but... I have five daughters in my family, four of them are married, and the remaining one is at home."
Old Man Liu understood immediately that Old Man Yue wanted to recruit a son-in-law.
In ancient times, the status of a son-in-law was very low. It was equivalent to buying a man and bringing him home to have children, which was similar to that of a slave.
No man with a little bit of ability would choose to marry into a wife.
A man who manages to become a son-in-law is either very poor himself or his family is very poor.
Therefore, when you go to the woman's house, you feel very lowly.
When he heard that he was getting married, Old Man Liu fell silent.
"Brother Liu, I know it's not good to come to your home to marry someone, but you see, this second man is not too young. If he keeps it up, he will be like a big man."
Tang Fei stood on the side of Old Man Yue and spoke, and Old Man Yue also said: "Brother Liu, my family has a lot of land. As long as you are willing to marry the second son into your wife, I will give the first son of your family two more acres of land."
In Nanliang, two acres of land is a lot.
Anyone else would have definitely agreed, but Old Man Liu shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness. My Erlang is pretty good. If he really can't get a wife, let him go to Jinling City to try his luck."
Tang Fei immediately advised: "Brother, don't worry about it, Jinling City is haunted now."
Old man Liu was amused and said with a smile: "Haunted? They say there are ghosts in Daling Mountain. We have been hunting for decades and have never seen one."
Tang Fei lowered his voice and persuaded: "Many people escaped from Jinling City and said that Jinling City was controlled by ghosts and many people were eaten. The rich and officials are all on the run..."
Old Man Liu didn't believe it and said with a smile: "I have been afraid of big insects and wolves in my life, but I have never been afraid of ghosts."
Seeing that Old Man Liu didn't believe it, Tang Fei couldn't say anything more.
"Brother, I come from the mountains and my family doesn't have a few acres of land. It's not easy to find a wife."
"Dalang and Erlang are both talented people, so don't waste them all."
Tang Fei still persuaded Old Man Liu to agree to Long Chen's marriage, but Old Man Liu shook his head and said, "No, I'll let them think of their own ideas. It's not like they will starve to death in the lean years."
Seeing that Old Man Yue refused to let go, he stood up and said, "Brother, think about it again. My girl has met your Erlang and she likes her very much."
After saying that, the two of them went out.
Long Chen was still digging the ground in the yard. Old Yue took a second look and kept nodding his head in praise: "He is a good young man."
After the people left, Long Chen stopped his hoe and asked, "Dad, what are they here for?"
Old Man Liu sighed: "I want you to marry me."
Long Chen looked displeased and said, "Bringing in a wife? Is our family at this point?"
Lu Ji came back from outside with a yellow muntjac on his shoulders.
When he entered the door and heard that his wife was marrying him, he immediately asked: "Who wants Erlang to marry his wife?"
The old woman walked out from inside and said: "Your Uncle Tang acted as a matchmaker and said that Erlang would marry into the Yue's family in the west."
Lu Ji angrily threw Huang Meng on the ground and said, "Erlang is so skilled in martial arts, why do you want to marry him?"
Old man Liu went back to the house helplessly, and the old woman said helplessly: "We came out of the mountains with no fields and no savings. You brothers are all old..."
Lu Ji shouted loudly: "You are older when you are older, how can you get married!"
The noise in the yard was so loud that the neighbors heard it.
Soon, Old Man Yue wanted to recruit a wife, but Old Man Liu disagreed with the news in the town.
This is the case in the village. It only takes half a day for everyone to know who spanked their children.
In the next two days, Tang Fei came over and said several times that Old Man Yue's daughter liked Long Chen very much and often deliberately passed by the door just to take a second look at Long Chen.
But Old Man Liu never let go, leaving Tang Fei helpless. Old Man Yue's daughter made trouble at home and said she wanted to marry Long Chen, which made Old Man Yue very angry.
Long Chen's matter became a topic of conversation after dinner in Daling Town.
Two days later, Lu Ji and Long Chen went out carrying two bags.
Tang Fei saw it and asked, "What are you two good nephews doing here?"
