"This spicy crab is so good that even the chefs in my restaurant are better."

"This stir-fried pork belly is a masterpiece. The pork belly is crispy and the juice is just right. This dish can eat three big bowls of rice."

"This mutton soup is so delicious. It has a beautiful color, rich aroma, and no smell. You can't stop drinking it."

"These red pig ears..."

At the dinner table, Principal Gu and Teacher Yu praised each other while eating, which made Lu Yao, who was doing cleaning work in the kitchen, look happy. If the guests are satisfied with their meal, the host will be satisfied, so her work this morning was not in vain. This is natural

It's something worth being happy about.

After tidying up the kitchen, Lu Yao ate alone in the kitchen. Normally, she could eat with the host family, but when there were guests, Lu Yao, as the nanny, naturally knew better and would not follow the table.

In the dining room, everyone was eating and chatting. After finishing the meal, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

After eating, it was inevitable to take photos. Lu Yao was also lucky enough to take a photo with Principal Gu and Teacher Yu, which made the smile on her face never stop. She thought that if Baoer knew about it, she would have to take another photo.

I have been envious for a long time.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Principal Gu and Teacher Yu stood up to say goodbye.

"Master Jiang, we have to rush to Heshi in a while, so I won't interrupt you anymore. Let's get together next time when we have time."

"Okay, let's meet again when we have time. I'll take you and Teacher Yu to the train station."

"Well, then I'll trouble Master Jiang."

"You're welcome, I have to go to a dating agency anyway, so drop by."

Principal Gu nodded, and then greeted Huang Lingwei and Jiang Xue one by one.

Teacher Yu even held the hands of the two girls and asked them to go to Xiangjiang when they had time, so that they could fulfill their friendship as landlords.

Huang Lingwei and Jiang Xue naturally said good to each other.

This family banquet is now over.

…

afternoon.

Fengming Village, Shuangfeng Town, Linchuan County.

On a piece of grassland near the river, more than twenty cattle, large and small, were grazing. Not far away, under an old lychee tree that had grown for decades, Zhang Yonglv sat on the roots of the tree that emerged from the ground, looking at the

The cows showed a satisfied smile.

Zhang Yonglv is 28 years old this year. He was born in a poor family. He is the fourth of seven brothers and sisters. He is 1.69 meters tall, has a medium appearance and has a junior high school education. After dropping out of school, he went to Guangdong Province to work with his brothers until three years ago.

Go back to your hometown to develop.

After he came back, he used the money he had saved from working for several years to build a row of very simple cowsheds, and then bought ten yellow calves in one go and raised them.

Now three years later, those ten yellow calves have grown up and given birth to more than ten calves. The herd in his mind has finally taken shape.

Zhang Yonglv raises cattle not in pens, nor does he need to buy anything to feed them. He follows the rural farming method. After breakfast every day, he drives the cattle to a nearby grassland and lets them graze freely. He waits until the afternoon

Drive the cows back to the cowshed.

Of course, there is no shortage of corn stalks, straw and other things in his cowshed. These are the most indispensable things in the countryside. In the past, every household raised cattle, and these things could only be obtained by growing their own.

But in recent years, living conditions in rural areas have become better and better. Even if there are still people plowing the fields, they no longer have to use cattle to plow the fields as before. They are all operated by machines. Therefore, the people who raise cattle in the village are becoming more and more popular.

There are fewer and fewer of them, and things like corn stalks and straw are becoming cheaper for Zhang Yonglv.

Looking at the ten big oxen that kept grazing, Zhang Yonglu felt happy. If he sold them all, they would be worth at least hundreds of thousands. There are also more than a dozen calves of different sizes, and he can raise another one or two.

year, it can be sold for hundreds of thousands.

Of course, that is a method of selling if he does not plan to raise cattle anymore. Even if he wants to sell cattle, he will only selectively sell three or two bulls. The cows will have to be kept to continue to give birth to calves, so that his financial resources can continue.

After the sun went down, Zhang Yonglu drove his more than 20 cows slowly towards the cowshed at home.

After all the cattle were driven into the cowshed, Zhang Yonglv went home for dinner.

While eating, the family discussed building a house. Their house was built more than 20 years ago. At that time, the conditions were good.

Unfortunately, the house Zhang's father built by himself only had enough room for one person.

Now the eldest brother and the second brother are married. The eldest brother has given birth to two children and is planning to give birth to a third child. The second brother has given birth to one child and the second sister-in-law is now pregnant again.

In addition, the house is old, so it can be said that building a new house is an urgent matter.

Zhang's father said: "This time our family is building a house. We will definitely not be able to build it again in a short time. So we either don't build it or we build it in one step. What kind of house do you want to build?"

The eldest brother Zhang Yongling said: "Then we will build four floors. The second, third and fourth floors will have two households with one staircase. Each household will have three bedrooms and one living room. Each of the six brothers will have one apartment, which is barely enough.

As for the first floor, we have two or three rooms. You and your parents will live in one room, your little sister will live in another room, and one room can be used as a guest room. The remaining space will be used to build a large kitchen and dining room.

What do you think?"

The second brother Zhang Yongjun nodded and said: "This plan is really good, I think it will work."

Third brother Zhang Yongshi echoed: "I have no objection."

Zhang Yonglv said: "I have no objection either."

Later, the fifth brother Zhang Yongtuan, the sixth brother Zhang Yongying, and the younger sister Zhang Yonglian all agreed on this plan.

Father Zhang put down his chopsticks and said, "Since you brothers all agree with this plan, let's do it. Boss, you can make a budget after dinner to see how much it will cost to build this house."

Zhang Yongling responded and then speeded up his eating.

After the meal, Zhang Yongling, who had been working in construction for more than ten years, began to calculate carefully.

About half an hour later, Zhang Yongling said to his parents and younger brothers and sisters: "I have calculated it. If we just cover the main frame, it will cost about 300,000 yuan, not including labor."

Father Zhang nodded and said: "Then let's calculate it based on 300,000 yuan. Each of you six brothers will contribute 50,000 yuan. If it is not enough, I will make up for it. As for labor, our family has plenty of manpower, so we don't need to spend much money on this.

"

Mother Zhang said: "Build the main frame first. Apart from the unified decoration of water, electricity and exterior walls, it is up to you to decide how to install the rest. If you have money, decorate it more beautifully. If you don't have money, just decorate it simply."

When the parents said this, one of the six brothers got a headache. Although 50,000 yuan is not much, among the seven brothers who can directly spend 50,000 yuan, it is estimated that only the eldest, second and third brothers can do it.

Of course, it would not be difficult for Zhang Yonglu to raise 50,000 yuan by selling his cattle.

As for the smaller Zhang Yongtuan and Zhang Yongying, I'm afraid you will have to find someone to borrow it.

However, they also have some savings of their own, and considering the big project of building a house, it shouldn't be difficult to borrow some from friends and get together 50,000 yuan.

Therefore, both of them had headaches, but they didn't say it couldn't be done.

…

The next day.

After Zhang Yonglv had breakfast, he was about to herd the cattle. Just as he walked out of the door, a black car stopped in front of him. Then a handsome young man got out of the car and asked with a smile: "Hello,

Is this Zhang Yong’s house?"

There was a trace of doubt in Zhang Yonglu's eyes, "I am Zhang Yonglu, what do you want from me?"

The handsome young man smiled and said, "Hello, Brother Zhang, my name is Jiang Feng. I come from Bailiang County. I am a professional matchmaker. I am looking for you to introduce you to a partner. I wonder if you have any plans to get married in the near future?"

Zhang Yonglv said in surprise: "Are you a matchmaker? You want to introduce me to someone?"

No wonder he was surprised. The young man in front of him, who looked about the same age as his little sister, actually said that he was a professional matchmaker. This seemed impossible no matter how you looked at it.

However, the car the other party drove didn’t look cheap at first glance, so he probably wasn’t a scammer.

Jiang Feng nodded and said: "Yes, I am a guaranteed matchmaker. The girl I want to introduce to you is from Xin'an County. She is 26 years old, 1.61 meters tall, has a good figure, average appearance, good personality, and can bear hardships and stand hard work.

Currently working in a clothing store in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, she is a very nice girl."

Zhang Yonglv didn't know how to respond. Fortunately, at this time, Zhang's mother heard the noise and left.

When he came out, he couldn't help but be startled when he saw Jiang Feng, and asked: "Young man, who are you looking for?"

Jiang Feng repeated what he had just said, and then said: "Auntie, she is a filial girl, and she is a perfect match for your son. I have a photo of her here, I will find it for you to see."

With that said, he took out his mobile phone, pulled up Deng Jiuqi's photo, and handed it to Zhang's mother.

After Zhang's mother found out Jiang Feng's purpose, she couldn't help but become happy. No matter how young the matchmaker in front of her was, a matchmaker who could introduce a partner to her son was a good matchmaker.

She took the mobile phone handed over by Jiang Feng and looked at the screen. She found that Jiang Feng was right. The girl in the photo had a good figure and average appearance, and matched her son very well.

The most important thing is that the girl looks very friendly and she is someone easy to get along with.

Zhang's mother became more and more satisfied as she watched. She handed the phone to her son and said, "Fourth, this girl looks really good. You should take a look too."

Zhang Yonglv is 28 years old this year. After reaching this age, it is a lie to say that he does not want to get married early. It is just that he has been staying in the village and going out to herd cattle every day. He has no contact with girls outside, so there is no way to talk about marriage.

.

Today, a matchmaker took the initiative to introduce him to a partner. Although the matchmaker looked too young and unreliable, in the end his desire to be single took over and he took the mobile phone handed over by his mother.

The most important thing is self-knowledge. Zhang Yonglv had a very clear positioning of himself. When he saw Deng Jiuqi in the photo, he did not compare him with those beautiful big stars, but compared himself to match them.

It turned out that the girl in the photo was really good and matched him very well.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but the other person seemed to be getting more and more interested in looking at it. Zhang Yonglu stared at the photo for more than a minute before handing the phone back to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng smiled and asked, "How about Brother Zhang, do you like this girl?"
