Chapter 40 Proposal
When Liang Xiaonan got up in the morning, Xiao Hongyu came home and told her that Zhang Xinyi was going to work in Modu.
"What kind of **** luck do you think she had. It is said that Chen Shikai saved a woman when she was a child, and that woman happened to be the leader of Modu. Now she came to repay her kindness, and immediately arranged jobs for both of them."
Xiao Hongyu is really envious, but also very angry. Since childhood, Zhang Xinyi has always looked down on Xiao Hongyu and Liang Xiaonan because of her better family conditions.
"We may not have a good life in the country, don't be angry."
Liang Xiaonan is telling the truth. If she works with Zhou Yan to grow potatoes, the money she earns in a year will be equal to what Zhang Xinyi and Chen Shikai earn in their lifetime.
"How can I not be angry? Chen Shikai was supposed to marry you, but you should be the one who went to Modu this time to work as a worker." Xiao Hongyu said, "Zhang Xinyi and her mother played tricks together and stole your marriage."
"If I can **** it away, it doesn't belong to me, and it's not fun to be together." Liang Xiaonan didn't want to talk too much with her on this matter, and asked her if the fried snails were selling well?
"That sold very well, but the number of snails was getting less and less. My brother and dad went to find them for me, but it was 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. Then you can sell potato dishes and set up a stall in the town. You will definitely make money."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your potatoes." Xiao Hongyu was mainly complaining for Liang Xiaonan, seeing that she was not angry, she felt at ease.
Zeng Hanzhi was urged to death by Zhou Yan, and he didn't go to see Sister Hu at night. Even though she is a matchmaker, she still needs to rest.
The next morning, Zhou Yan urged her to go there quickly, lest Sister Hu go out for a day and find no one, Zeng Hanzhi went to Sister Hu without cleaning the pot.
Zeng Hanzhi went to see Miss Hu this time, and she did not entrust her with empty words as before. She brought 5 yuan and a basket of eggs.
"You have to work harder and tell Grandma Liang that we are very satisfied with Xiaonan and want to marry our two children."
Zeng Hanzhi also told Sister Hu that if the marriage is successful, Zhou Yan will bring fresh fish and live chickens to Sister Hu, plus 20 yuan as a matchmaker's money.
In Nanfeng Township, there was no matchmaker’s money more than 10 yuan, and Zhou Yan promised 20 yuan as a matchmaker’s money as soon as he made a move.
Sister Hu felt that she had set up another happy matchmaker, and maybe because of this matchmaker, her name would go down in history.
No reason, she has this feeling.
"Teacher Zeng, just keep your heart in your stomach. I will definitely tell the two children about this matter. You go back and wait for my good news."
Sister Hu ate two simple bites of breakfast, and ran to Dakeng Village in a hurry. When entering the village, she first heard that Zhang Xinyi and Chen Shikai were going to work in Modu to eat commercial food, and Liang Dazhuang and Wang Cuiying were going to set up a water table to celebrate.
My heart skipped a beat. Chen Shikai was originally Liang Xiaonan's baby-sister, and it was supposed to be Liang Xiaonan who went to work in Modu, but he was cut off by Zhang Xinyi.
I don't know if this kid Xiaonan has a lump in his heart and doesn't like Zhou Yan.
When she arrived at the Liang family's old house, Grandma Liang and Liang Xiaonan were watering the Artemisia annua in the yard.
"Where is Auntie at home?" Sister Hu yelled with a smile on her face.
"Auntie, please come to the room."
Grandma Liang led people into the house, and Sister Hu said, "The Yang family told me that the whole family likes Xiaonan very much. Look at this matter, are we sure?"
Grandma Liang said: "Didn't you say to arrange for Xiaonan to meet the grandson of the Yang family?"
"The grandson of the Yang family said that he met Xiaonan."
Liang Xiaonan was watering the yard, checking the growth of Artemisia annua, and when he heard what Sister Hu said, 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 thought of Zhou Yan, who wanted to work with her to grow potatoes, and asked, "Auntie, what does he look like?"
"His appearance, I assure you, there is no boy in Yu County who is more handsome than him. He is tall and has a flexible mind. No one can compare to him when he is studying."
"Does his family have 5 acres of land?"
"That's right, his grandparents said that land is a rare commodity, so they exchanged 5 acres for him. In the future, you can plant whatever you want, and you will have no problem eating."
Now it is not popular to talk about land and land. Those nouns are derogatory terms and sensitive words. Anyone who understands them will understand. Fortunately, the Yunshan area is special, and the leaders encourage independent development. Survival is the most important thing. Many villages have reclaimed wasteland for villagers. Open your eyes and close your eyes, as long as you pay some food.
According to Sister Hu's description, Liang Xiaonan is basically sure that Zhou Yan, who wants to cooperate with her in potato planting, will be married.
No wonder Zhou Yan said 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 he was close, I'm afraid his mind has changed.
Sister Hu said: "Xiaonan, there is no one else here. You can tell auntie what you think in your heart, and auntie will give you a detailed reference."
"Auntie, I probably have an impression of the person you mentioned. 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. No matter whether he is capable or not in the future, he must concentrate on it. Living with me, you can't be on two boats, and you can't be promiscuous. Look at Liang Jinbao in our village, he is a captain. It's disgusting to see the world go into the widow's house!"
Grandma Liang hastily reminded her, Captain, you can't speak.
Liang Xiaonan just pretended not to see it, and continued: "Good character, decent style, no whoring or gambling, it is not difficult to live a good life."
Sister Hu understood what she meant, so she directly talked about Zhou Yan's situation.
"Xiaonan speaks frankly, and let me tell you the truth, Zhou Yan is not from our Yu County. He has lived in Nanfeng Town since he was 12 years old."
"At the beginning, he studied very hard. He was really smart. He followed his grandparents and knew everything. He graduated from high school when he was less than 15 years old, and he was always the first."
"He went back to Modu with Professor Yang behind his back, and he didn't come back until three years ago. After he came back, everything changed. He's okay, but he doesn't work hard anymore."
"He doesn't like farming, but likes to make friends. He is good-looking, but there is really no problem with his style. He never gets into a crowd of women. A few years ago, I helped him meet a few times. Every time he met He turned his face away and left, and then he simply told me that he didn't want to find a partner."
Sister Hu laughed and said, Xiaonan, don’t worry, his conduct is not bad, and he is also very filial. I assure you with my reputation as a media agent for more than 20 years, Zhou Yan’s character is absolutely reliable.
"Aunt Hu, you said his name is Zhou Yan?"
"Oh, I'm confused. I've 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 senior cadres in Modu. But you also know that the uncle is not the real father. , Zhou Yan doesn't want to rely on them."
Liang Xiaonan is not a real person from the 1960s. After listening to her, she felt that although Zhou Yan was rumored to be bad, it was not a matter of moral character, which was acceptable.
"Auntie, I have no objection, let's stay together!"
"That's great, I'm going to answer the call right now, and we'll formally celebrate later."
This marriage is done!
Sister Hu was very happy, with a happy face, she came out of Liang Xiaonan's house, and met Zhang Xinyi and Chen Shikai who were returning to her parents' home from Xiaoyun Town.
Zhang Xinyi smiled dignifiedly and politely: "Aunt Hu, right? Are you a matchmaker for sister Xiaonan?"
