Chapter 350: One Thing Drops One Thing(1/2)
Chen Guangbiao acted very quickly. After making a plan, he brought the customers to the city the next day, bought a lot of expensive tobacco, wine and tea, and then brought a busload of customers back from the city.
After sending the guests home one by one, Chen Guangbiao didn't even have time to drink a glass of water, so he went directly to the Jiang family in Longshan Village with gifts and red envelopes to find a matchmaker for his bastard son Chen Wensheng.
After some polite greetings, Chen Guangbiao said: "Brother Jiang, Sister Jiang, I have often heard people talk about your son Master Jiang's reputation as a matchmaker. I am here to ask you to help my youngest son find a partner."
Jiang's father smiled and said: "This is definitely no problem. Boss Chen, please tell us about your youngest son's situation first, and then I will ask my Xiaofeng to find a suitable partner for him."
As soon as this was mentioned, Chen Guangbiao felt his face was dull and sighed: "Brother Jiang, to tell you the truth, my little son has a very bad character. He is 'he can't do anything, and he can't eat anything'."
He was a type who dropped out of high school before finishing high school. When he came back, he had to work in many jobs, but none of them lasted long.
If it's just like this, it's nothing. The key is that this bastard spends money lavishly. He can't make any money himself. He keeps asking me and his mother for money all day long. When he doesn't get the money, he swipes his credit card and takes out online loans.
At first, his mother and I were soft-hearted and repaid him a few times, but he didn't take it seriously at all and continued to go his own way. Naturally, we couldn't afford to pay back such a bottomless pit of money.
Therefore, he has now been included in the list of dishonest persons, and his entire credibility can be said to be ruined.
To be honest, I thought I had lost this son a long time ago. This time I came here to find a matchmaker for him because his mother wanted to give him the last chance. At the same time, she also hoped to help him find a powerful wife to come back and take care of him.
Is there any help?"
Hearing this, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang took a deep breath.
Although Chen Guangbiao didn't say it clearly, we can still get a lot of information from it. In short, even Chen Guangbiao, the father, thought his youngest son was a bastard and a waste.
Jiang's father couldn't help but praise: "Boss Chen, you are an honest person. You have clearly told us your little son's shortcomings. Then tell us about his advantages!"
Chen Guangbiao said sheepishly: "Brother Jiang, you are too generous. We are a husband and wife who work hard in business and attach great importance to credibility. Of course, we must explain the shortcomings of that bastard clearly so as not to deceive other girls.
As for the advantages, I really didn’t expect him to have any advantages. In other words, he is pretty good-looking and is 1.76 meters tall. In addition, his mother and I bought a house for each of his two brothers in the county town, and also matched it with a house.
car."
Jiang's mother asked: "Boss Chen, I wonder what kind of business you and your wife are doing?"
Chen Guangbiao said: "I specialize in driving customers. On the route from our town to the city, my wife opened a chicken and duck stall at the vegetable market in the town. The one named Aunt Zhang is my wife."
Hearing this, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother suddenly realized.
Aunt Zhang has been selling chickens and ducks in the town for more than ten years. Many people in the village know her, including Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, but they have little friendship.
"Boss Chen, it seems that you and your wife are making a lot of money. No wonder you can buy a house and a car for your two sons in the county. With your family's financial conditions, you can also give your son extra points when looking for a partner."
"Brother Jiang and Sister-in-law Jiang, I'm not humble about this. In terms of earning power, my husband and I are ranked among the best in the village. It's a pity that my youngest son's character is too bad. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to worry about his marriage.
.”
Jiang's mother asked again: "Boss Chen, besides spending money lavishly and daring to spend any money, does your little son also engage in gambling?"
Chen Guangbiao shook his head repeatedly and said: "He is not involved in pornography, gambling or drugs. This can be regarded as a blessing among misfortunes. In the words of young people, he is now ruined. He stays at home and gnaws on his old age with peace of mind. His mother kills chickens and ducks without knowing what's going on."
How hard it is to ask him to help, but he is unwilling to do so."
Jiang's father nodded and said: "If you don't touch those things, you can still be saved. You and your wife have the right idea. Find a powerful wife for him. I believe you can control him."
Chen Guangbiao said helplessly: "My mother and I are treating a dead horse as a living doctor. Anyway, no matter what the outcome is, we must make his bastard character clear to the girl, and we can't deceive the girl."
Jiang's father immediately responded: "Don't worry, Boss Chen. Since my son became a matchmaker, he has always paid attention to seeking truth from facts. Before arranging a meeting between the two parties, he will clearly explain the advantages and disadvantages of the other party, and there will be no deception."
Chen Guangbiao smiled and said: "I am completely relieved about this. Who among us in Qinghe Town doesn't know about Master Jiang's reputation?"
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang smiled when they heard other people praising their son. They had often heard such words for more than a year, but they were not bored at all.
Next, the two parties discussed some details. It was not until more than half an hour later that Chen Guangbiao left valuable gifts and red envelopes and drove away.
After Jiang's mother put away the gifts and red envelopes, she made a video call to her youngest son. Then she told her the situation of Chen Guangbiao's youngest son. Finally, she said: "Boss Chen is an honest person. He tells his youngest son's shortcomings to
We made it clear that we were afraid that this bastard son of his would cheat this girl."
Jiang Feng smiled and said: "Okay, I understand, one thing will be surrendered to another. I will find a suitable partner for his youngest son later, and I will definitely surrender his youngest son."
Naturally, Jiang's mother knew what her youngest son was capable of. She felt relieved when he heard what he said. Afterwards, the mother and son chatted for a few words and then ended the video.
…
New Year's Day, 2024, 9 a.m.
In xx Village, Tanjiang Town, Wang Xiumei is having breakfast with her parents.
The Queen Mother looked at her daughter and said, "Xiao Mei, this year is almost over. You have been working for a few years. You can't delay finding a partner any longer. If you delay any longer, you will become an old girl."
Wang Xiumei swallowed the white porridge in her mouth and said: "I also want to find a partner as soon as possible, but this kind of thing cannot be rushed. We have to meet the right person before we talk."
The Queen Mother put down her bowl and said, "There are so many teachers in your school, but there is no suitable one?"
Wang Xiumei shook her head and said: "We do have a lot of teachers in our school, but most of them are female teachers. Excluding the male teachers who are married and have girlfriends, there are not many single male teachers left. We haven't found any yet.
There’s something for me.”
Wang's father then said: "There is no need to limit your search for a partner in school. You can also work in other industries. Since you are a teacher in the county town, you just need to find someone who has a formal job in the county town."
Wang Xiumei said: "I will pay attention to it, but this kind of thing cannot be rushed, just let it take its course."
The Queen Mother couldn't help but said: "You can't rush this kind of thing, but you have to pay attention to it. You will be 27 after the Chinese New Year. You are really not young anymore. When I was 27, you were already in kindergarten."
Already."
Wang Xiumei said: "Mom, your standards back then were different from those now. In your day, it was normal to get married in your early twenties. Now it's normal to get married in your early thirties, so you don't have to rush me.
"
The Queen Mother finished the porridge in the bowl in two gulps and said: "How can I not be in a hurry? It is true that many people get married after they are thirty years old, but there is nothing we can do about it, and most of them are boys.
Relatively speaking, there are relatively few girls who marry after they turn thirty."
The king's father was adding porridge and said: "Listen to your mother, find a partner as soon as possible and try to get married before the age of thirty, because once a woman reaches thirty, it is not you who picks someone else, but someone else who picks you."
Wang Xiumei said helplessly: "I know."
Seeing this, the King's father and the Queen's mother said no more. After the family of three finished breakfast, the King's father rode to the reservoir with his fishing rod, intending to catch some fish from the reservoir and bring them back to his daughter.
The Queen Mother carried a basket and tools and went to dig cassava on the slope of her house. Her daughter liked to eat cassava, so she dug some back and boiled sugar water, which was also good for lunch.
Wang Xiumei had nothing to do, so she followed her mother to dig cassava.
Because the slope of their home was not far away, within half an hour, the mother and daughter dug seven or eight cassava sticks back.
"Mom, are there any rock candies at home?" Wang Xiumei asked.
The Queen Mother said: "No more. I ran out of sweet potato syrup a few days ago."
Wang Xiumei said: "Then I'll buy it."
The Queen Mother said while taking the hookah: "It's still early. It won't be too late to buy the cassava after it's cooked."
Seeing this, Wang Xiumei advised: "Mom, I asked you to quit smoking a long time ago. Smoking is bad for your health."
The Queen Mother sighed and said: "Your mother and I started smoking when I was seven or eight years old. I have been smoking for more than 40 years. I'm afraid I won't be able to quit smoking in this life."
Wang Xiumei said: "I have never smoked before, so I don't know what it feels like, but look at the sixth aunt next door, she has been smoking for 20 or 30 years, but she just quit. To put it bluntly, this is
People can get rid of heart addiction and drug addiction, but why can't they quit smoking addiction?"
The Queen Mother put tobacco into the cigarette holder and said: "You think I haven't tried it? I also tried to quit smoking, but I couldn't stand it for less than two days. I would rather live ten years shorter than that."
I want to smoke."
When Wang Xiumei heard this, she stopped trying to persuade her. Instead, she came over with a knife and started peeling the cassava.
Peeling cassava is a very simple matter. Use a knife to make a few circles along the cassava, and then pull off the entire cassava skin, revealing the smooth white flesh.
While Wang Xiumei was peeling the cassava skin skillfully, a strange woman in her fifties rode an electric bike to their home. She came to Wang Xiumei and her daughter with a bag of fruit, and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, where is this place?"
Wang Xiumei’s family?”
Wang Xiumei stood up and said: "Auntie, I am Wang Xiumei. What do you want from me?"
The strange woman smiled and handed the fruit over and said: "Teacher Wang, my surname is Zhang, I am a matchmaker from Qinghe Town. I have taken the liberty to come here this time to introduce you to a partner, Teacher Wang. I wonder if you have any plans to get married in the near future?
"
Before Wang Xiumei had time to reply, the Queen Mother next to her took the fruit with a smile on her face and said: "It turns out to be Aunt Zhang. My little girl has indeed reached the age of marriage. I don't know if you want to introduce her to Aunt Zhang."
What kind of object?”
Having said this, he quickly told his daughter: "Xiao Mei, quickly get a stool for Aunt Zhang."
Wang Xiumei immediately brought a stool over and said, "Aunt Zhang, please sit down."
Aunt Zhang thanked her, then looked at the Queen Mother and said: "The person I introduced to Teacher Wang is from our Qinghe Town. This young man is 26 years old, 1.76 meters tall, and he is quite good-looking. Let me show you
Look at his pictures."
With that said, Aunt Zhang took out her mobile phone, pulled up Chen Wensheng's photo, and handed it to Wang Xiumei and her daughter.
The Queen Mother reached out to take the phone, then looked at the photo on the screen, and found that Aunt Zhang was right. The young man in the photo looked really energetic, and his appearance matched her daughter's.
Wang Xiumei also saw the man in the photo. His appearance was quite in line with her aesthetics. Her first impression was good.
The Queen Mother asked with interest: "Aunt Zhang, I wonder what kind of job this young man does?"
"He has done nothing and is currently living at home."
Speaking of this, Aunt Zhang sighed and said: "Teacher Wang, Mother Wang, I won't hide it from you. This young man is indeed good-looking and has a good family background. Both his parents are in business and can earn tens of thousands of dollars every month.
