Chapter 343 You can live without a wife when you are young, but you must have a companion when you grow old

No wonder Jiang Feng was surprised. The last time Lin Sanbao came here was to find a matchmaker for his son. Now that his daughter-in-law has successfully married back, I believe it won't be long before he is promoted to the level of a grandfather.

As a result, he came here to find a matchmaker for his grandfather, which was really unexpected.

Jiang Feng calmed down, stretched out his hand to invite the other party to sit down, and asked: "Uncle Lin, I want to ask, is your grandfather honored this year?"

Lin Sanbao replied awkwardly: "I just turned 90 this year."

Jiang Feng took a glass of water and handed it to him, and asked again: "Uncle Lin, is it the intention of you, the children and grandchildren, to hire a matchmaker for the old man this time, or is it the old man's own intention?"

Lin Sanbao said helplessly: "It was my grandfather's own will. He didn't know what stimulated him. He suddenly wanted to find a wife. To show his determination, he even said that he would go on a hunger strike if he didn't find him.

"

Jiang Feng smiled and said: "You can live without a wife when you are young, but you must have a companion when you grow old. This is understandable. How is the old man's current physical condition?"

Lin Sanbao said: "He is in very good health and can do any farm work. My physical fitness is not necessarily better than his."

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, I'll take this matchmaker."

Lin Sanbao said: "Then I'll trouble Master Jiang."

Jiang Feng said: "You're welcome, this is my responsibility."

Afterwards, the two of them exchanged a few more polite words before Lin Sanbao said goodbye and left.

…

afternoon.

In a dilapidated old house, the wrinkled old Mrs. Ling was washing rice and cooking.

Old Mrs. Ling is 85 years old this year. Although she has a family full of children and grandchildren, it is really difficult to talk about the issue of supporting her. Anyway, Old Mrs. Ling, who has always wanted to be strong in her life, does not want to be kicked around like a ball by her children and grandchildren, so she

Just go back to the old house and cook your own.

Mrs. Ling uses a firewood stove, and the firewood she burns is dry branches she picks up from time to time.

While steaming rice, Mrs. Ling thought of her troubled life and couldn't help but sigh.

Mrs. Ling was born during the Anti-Japanese War of the last century. Her father was also a good man and had a heart to kill the enemy and serve the country. Unfortunately, he died before leaving the army, leaving the mother and daughter to struggle for survival in that war-torn era.

live.

When Mrs. Ling was 13 years old, her mother contracted a serious illness. Before she died, she was worried that her daughter would be helpless and bullied after she left, so she decided to marry her off to an Orion who was 16 years older than her.

Mrs. Ling lived a stable life with her husband, Orion, for more than ten years. This was perhaps the happiest period of her life. The two gave birth to four children in total.

One day, my husband went hunting in the mountains, and then he completely confessed that he was in the mountains.

The death of her husband turned this originally happy family into a crisis. As a woman, Mrs. Ling had to earn work points to raise four children. One can imagine the difficulties involved.

Mrs. Ling gritted her teeth and persisted for two years, and then she welcomed her second husband.

The second husband was an old bachelor who couldn't find a wife even after he was over forty years old. It was rare for him to find a woman willing to marry him, and he didn't care at all even if she came with four oil bottles.

With one more person to share the labor, Mrs. Ling's burden finally became lighter, but after the birth of her and her second husband's child, the burden began to increase again.

To make matters worse, the second husband also died.

As a result, Mrs. Ling became a widow again.

Mrs. Ling's third husband was a pig butcher. He had four children after his wife died, and together with her five children, they formed a big family.

Then, Mrs. Ling gave birth to two more children with her third husband, making the total number eleven children.

This marriage lasted for a relatively long time. It was not until ten years ago that her third husband died of illness, and Mrs. Ling became a widow again.

Thinking of those hard years, Old Mrs. Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly. She had suffered so much for those children. When it was time for them to support her when she was old, they all resisted. It was really

It broke her heart.

She couldn't even understand why, when raising children, the children raised by others were so filial, while the ones she raised were a group of selfish people.

Soon, the rice was steamed. Mrs. Ling took out the rice, dug out a few spoonfuls of sauerkraut from the earthen pot, and then ate it deliciously.

This sauerkraut is homemade sauerkraut from the countryside. There are a few pieces of pork belly used to stew the sauerkraut. It is stewed slowly over firewood. The taste is really fragrant. People who eat it for the first time can swallow it all on their tongues.

However, for people who are accustomed to eating, the taste is just like that, nothing surprising.

Just as Old Mrs. Ling was eating dinner slowly and alone, a black car slowly parked in front of her house. It was none other than Jiang Feng.

"Grandma Ling." After getting off the car, Jiang Feng did not go in directly, but called out at the door while holding the fruit.

"Who is it?" Old Mrs. Ling responded, then put down her rice bowl and walked out.

"Hello, Grandma Ling. I'm really sorry to disturb your meal. My name is Jiang Feng. You can just call me Xiaofeng." Jiang Feng handed over the fruit as he spoke.

Old Mrs. Ling took the fruit and asked, "Xiao Feng, what do you want from me, this old woman?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said: "Grandma Ling, it's like this. I'm actually a matchmaker, and I'm here to help people propose marriages this time."

Old Mrs. Ling said oh and said: "Xiao Feng, have you found the wrong person? All my children are already married. As for the marriage of my grandchildren, it is not my turn to take care of it. Naturally, their parents have the responsibility.

"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Grandma Ling, you misunderstood. The person I am here to propose marriage to is not your children, but yourself."

Hearing this, Mrs. Ling choked on her saliva and coughed for more than ten seconds. When she recovered, she opened her eyes wide and said, "Xiao Feng, are you kidding me?"

Jiang Feng said seriously: "How can you joke about this kind of thing!"

Old Mrs. Ling said speechlessly: "Xiao Feng, old lady, half of my body has been buried. I only live on subsistence allowances every month. Who would let you come to propose marriage?"

Facts speak louder than words. Jiang Feng stopped talking nonsense and introduced directly: "Grandpa Lin, who asked me to propose marriage, is 90 years old this year. However, he is in good health and can do any kind of work. He can also lift items weighing more than a hundred kilograms."

His tone of voice can be a few miles away, but his physical fitness is no worse than that of a person in his fifties or sixties.

He has seven children, four sons and three daughters, all of whom are very filial. This time he plans to find a wife, and his children and grandchildren also agree.

In short, as long as you nod, Grandma Ling, this marriage is basically done."

When Jiang Feng said that the other party was 90 years old, Mrs. Ling knew that the other party was not here to make fun of her. The other party's physical fitness really surprised her. She is 85 years old and her body is relatively strong compared with her peers, but she is

She had not dared to pick anything weighing a hundred pounds a few years ago.

What she envied most was the filial piety of the other party's children and grandchildren.

"Grandma Ling, I know a lot about your situation. With the attitude of your children towards you, as long as you can still move, you will not want to be raised by them. In this case, you might as well find a wife to spend the rest of your life with. After all, you have children and grandchildren.

No matter how filial you are, you can't be as considerate as your wife, don't you think?"

Old Mrs. Ling was convinced. She had married three men and had no psychological barriers to remarrying. She nodded and said: "Xiao Feng, what you said makes sense. I wonder where he is from? It's not the old society anymore. Both parties

You have to meet first before we can talk about marriage."

Jiang Feng smiled and said: "Of course, but before arranging for you to meet Grandpa Lin, I think it is necessary to say hello to your children and grandchildren first, lest you just finish the matter in silence and they get into trouble.

It doesn’t look good.”

Mrs. Ling snorted dissatisfiedly and said, "What shame do they have to make trouble?"

Jiang Feng said: "Just in case, I'll go say hello to them first and see how they react."

Although Mrs. Ling felt that she could make the final decision on her own affairs, seeing that Jiang Feng was so considerate in doing things, she naturally did not stop her and said, "Okay, then Xiao Feng, go and ask those bastards, if they agree

That’s it, if you don’t agree, whoever shouts louder will stay at his house tomorrow.”

Jiang Feng smiled and said: "I understand, then I won't bother you. Just wait for my good news!"

Mrs. Ling smiled and said, "Okay!"

After watching Jiang Feng get into the car and leave, Mrs. Ling returned to the house happily and continued to eat. The rice was still the same bowl of rice just now, but it seemed to taste more delicious than before!

…

Two minutes later.

Jiang Feng parked the car in front of Mrs. Ling's second son's house.

The second eldest son of the Ling family is over sixty years old this year. When Jiang Feng arrived, their whole family was also having a meal. There were fish and meat on the table. Compared to the old mother eating pickled cabbage and rice alone in the old house, it was somewhat ironic.

Jiang Feng had no right to say anything about this.

After the two parties greeted each other politely, Jiang Feng said straight to the point: "Uncle Ling, I came here this time to discuss your mother's affairs with you."

The second child of the Ling family frowned slightly: "Discussing my mother's affairs?"

Jiang Feng said: "To put it simply, your mother feels that she is getting older and her physical condition is getting worse year by year. While she can still move now, she is thinking about finding a wife to spend her old age together, so let me come with you.

Say hello, brother."

The second eldest son of the Ling family changed his expression and immediately objected: "No, we are already over eighty years old, why are we looking for a wife? How can we brothers go out to meet people when people know about it?"

Jiang Feng sneered in his heart, you let your eighty-year-old mother cook her own food alone in the old house and you have the nerve to go out to meet people. And then the old mother wants to find a wife, so you have no shame to go out to meet people?

Jiang Feng didn't tolerate him, so he directly used Mrs. Ling's trump card and said: "Uncle Ling, your mother said, if you don't agree, it's okay. Whoever objects to her will live with someone tomorrow and let him fulfill his filial piety.

"

When the daughter-in-law of the second son of the Ling family heard this, she thought it was okay, and immediately started coughing like a person with yang.

If the second child of the Ling family could not understand such an obvious reminder, then the two of them would not have been able to get together. The second child of the Ling family felt as if his neck had been strangled, and he was speechless for a long time.
