Chapter 1732 Matchmaking
The National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival passed with people's laughter and laughter, and October 2nd ushered in the alternation of daylight.
There are many people holding happy events on National Day, and there are also many on the 2nd. You can hear the sound of firecrackers and the sound of fireworks taking off in the early morning in every place.
The first day the Meicun Village Library opened went very smoothly. It opened as scheduled on the 2nd and welcomed children from all over the village.
During the National Day holiday, the staff of Jiudao Township Central Kindergarten also went home to celebrate the holiday. On the 2nd, the leaders of the kindergarten rushed back to the kindergarten to wait for the installation workers to arrive in the afternoon to install various large toys and equipment.
Director Fu and his wife also went back to their hometown to celebrate the festival with their elders. They took the earliest bus from the county seat back to Jiudao on the morning of the 2nd.
Traveling with the couple were a young woman and a little girl. The young woman looked to be in her thirties but not yet forty. The little girl looked about five or six years old. She was wearing a tutu and two small hairpins.
The four of them first went back to the kindergarten to place their luggage. After that, Principal Fu picked up a gift and took the young woman and the little girl straight to Meizi Well.
Director Fu took the young woman and the little girl into Plum Village, crossed the floor in front of the village office building, and visited Zhou Papi's home.
Zhou Papi and Aunt Pa didn't know the principal. In order to supervise the children in the village's studies, village chief Zhou also ran a building in the village. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would go to Zhou Papi's house to chat.
Village Chief Zhou knew Principal Fu and was quite surprised: "How come Principal Fu is here free? Is there something wrong with the toys sent to the kindergarten and do I need to report to Xiao Lele?"
Director Fu handed the gift to the hostess, and then took out a cigarette and handed it to Village Chief Zhou and Zhou Bapi and his wife: "Uncle Village Elder, Uncle Zhou, I am here today on private matters, not on official business of the kindergarten. The two old uncles are smoking. My aunt smoked and came here without permission, disturbing Uncle Zhou and my aunt.”
"You're welcome, please take a seat." Aunt Pa also took a cigarette and asked the two children to sit down.
The three of them sat down.
Village Chief Zhou and Zhou Papi also sat down to chat with the guests. Village Chief Zhou wanted to light a cigarette but put it away.
Director Fu thought that Village Chief Zhou's lighter was out of steam, so he got up, lit the lighter and lit a cigarette for Village Chief Zhou.
"Thank you, there are little ones here, so it's better not to smoke." Village Chief Zhou waved his hand: "Xiao Lele said smoking is bad for the lungs. The little ones often smell the smell of smoke and are prone to diseases such as laryngitis. .
It doesn't matter to people of our age, don't harm the little cubs. ”
Zhou Papi wanted to light a cigarette, but he quietly put it away.
Fu Yuanchang was stunned for a moment, then put out the lighter and the cigarette he had just lit. He admired Village Chief Zhou from the bottom of his heart like a mountain and said, "Uncle Village Elder, you always think about me. Children, I feel so ashamed. You are always my role model. I will have to remember this in the future and try not to smoke in front of my children.”
"Thank you. I have only come to my senses in recent years. Xiao Lele is right. You can't go wrong by listening to Xiao Lele's advice." Village Chief Zhou smiled with satisfaction and a bit of pride.
Aunt Pa asked people to sit down, and then went to pour a glass of cold water for the guests. She also gave a glass of water to her husband and cousin. Then she went to hold the watermelon and cut it. Please eat the watermelon.
Director Fu drank some water, ate watermelon, chatted with the Zhou brothers about their daily life, and listened to Village Chief Zhou talk about the Mei Village library, before he straight to the point explained the purpose of his visit: "Uncle Village Elder, Uncle Zhou , Auntie, I won’t hide it from you, I’m here to be a matchmaker today, and I want to introduce a match to my nephew Zhou Xialong.”
"Matchmaking?" Aunt Zhou Papiba, the head of the village, was stunned, her eyes turning on Principal Fu and the young woman.
"Yes, I'm here to be a matchmaker." Extending his head is a knife, and retracting his head is a knife. Director Fu said with a brave heart: "I'm not afraid of uncles scolding me. I know that my uncle's nephew is divorced." That's why I dare to be a matchmaker
My mother's nephew, one of my older cousins, works in the Civil Affairs Bureau. On the day my uncles' nephews got divorced, my older cousin was also present.
Originally, my cousin didn't know the people of Plum Village, because a golden phoenix flew out of Plum Village, Miss Le became famous, and Plum Village was remembered by many people, so my cousin paid more attention to it.
I haven't seen my relatives at home for a long time. We had a meal together this time during the holiday and chatted about work. My cousin asked me out of curiosity. I heard some rumors about why your nephew Zhou Xialong got divorced, so I I know that my uncle’s nephew is divorced.
Then, because a cousin in my family also got divorced, in line with the idea that wealth should not be transferred to outsiders, it is better to act than to think, so I shamelessly brought my cousin to meet my uncles. ”
Director Fu explained how he knew Zhou Xialong was divorced. He pointed to the young woman he brought and introduced: "This is my cousin, her name is Fu Chunping. Our generation is still in the ninth server, and the next generation will be born." Nine servers.
My sister turns thirty-four in May this year, has been divorced for a year and a half, and has a high school education..."
Chu Chunping was married in Shishi. The man was an ordinary salaryman. The reason for the divorce was also related to the children. Both the man and the woman were in good health, but they had no children after many years of marriage.
There is a custom in the countryside that if you are unable to have children, you can bring younger siblings by adopting a child. In order to attract good friends, Fu Chunping and his wife also adopted a girl from the same clan of her husband's family and raised them by their side. Unfortunately, they still have not been able to give birth to a child after several years. One son and one half daughter.
Later, the man fell in love with a female colleague in his factory and gave birth to a boy. The man did not mention divorce because he and the female colleague were the kind of "temporary couple" that often work together in some construction sites. The woman gave birth to a boy. The child was given to the man, and she broke up with the man after receiving a nutrition fee.
The man took back the child and wanted Fu Chunping to raise him as his biological child and give away the adopted child. Fu Chunping disagreed and resolutely divorced the man and took away the adopted child.
Fu Chunping knew tailoring skills. After her divorce, she rented a house in Shishi and helped make clothes for the elderly, or took on sewing and mending tasks such as changing zippers to support her family and make a living.
After the divorce, Fu Chunping changed her child's surname to Fu, and her name was Fu Yuanyuan. She was also born in May and is now five years old.
Director Fu promoted his cousin, and finally added: "The actual situation is like that. If you have any doubts, please ask Miss Le to check it out. There are countless capable people around the little girl, and nothing can be hidden." She.
Before coming here, my elders made a statement. If it happened, my sister would be embarrassed to be raised by the Zhou family. We would pay the family alimony and just hope that the child can live with her mother.
Of course, marriage cannot be bought or sold by force. It mainly depends on whether the man and the woman have an eye for each other. If one party dislikes the other, they will not be happy even if they reluctantly live together. ”
Director Fu was talking, and the mother and daughter sat quietly. The young woman looked at her a few more times and blushed in embarrassment.
Village Chief Zhou and Aunt Zhou Papipa showed rich expressions, ranging from goose-like expressions to epiphany, to looking at the young woman like a father-in-law looking at a daughter-in-law.
After listening to what Director Fu said so much, Village Chief Zhou also calmed down. He didn't say anything good or bad, but only said that he wanted to ask his sister-in-law and nephew Zhou Xialong what he wanted, and asked the guests to sit down first while he went to make a phone call. The old man made an excuse, ran back to his home, and told his mother-in-law that Director Fu and his clan sister came to Zhou's house for a wedding, and then called his cousin-in-law to ask Zhou Xialong to go with him for a wedding.
Grandma Zhou Man was stunned at first, and then she was happy, waiting for her sister-in-law to come and visit Zhou Papi's house together.
At home, I and my son, Grandma Zhou Man, and Brother Zhou paid homage to their ancestors during the Mid-Autumn Festival. We didn’t have dinner at home, but went to Lejia. We had nothing to do on the sixteenth day, so we were at home.
Brother Zhou went for a walk in the fields and watched a youth romance drama with his old mother. He listened to her talk and laughed.
Grandma Zhou, who was talking about her son, received a call from Village Chief Zhou saying that a matchmaker had brought a woman to Zhou's house to be a matchmaker for her son, and asked her to take her son to a photoshoot. She hurriedly agreed.
She agreed and told her son to go on a blind date at Zhou Papi's house. She urged her son to change into a set of clothes, and she was also going to change into a set of bright clothes.
Brother Zhou was not interested in the blind date, and he didn't want to displease his old mother, so he agreed to go and see it. He refused to change clothes, and he also did not allow the old mother to change clothes. He closed the door of the house, and the mother and son put on straw hats and set off.
Grandma Zhou originally wanted to ask the girl to help with the care, but Brother Zhou refused to give in and asked the younger sister to help with the care. What if it happened, and there would be conflicts in the future, and someone relied on Xiaofeng?
The mother and son walked outside the door of Village Chief Zhou's house, went in and sat for a while. The grandmother-in-law breathed some air, and the uncle and nephew also confessed, and then the four of them went to Zhou Papi's house together.
The cousin went to call Zhou Xialong, and Zhou Papi and Aunt Pa recruited money to pay the director Fu and Fu Chunping, mother and daughter. When they saw the cousin and sister-in-law coming, they quickly invited them to sit at home.
Seeing Village Chief Zhou leading the two old ladies, Director Fu quickly stood up and handed the cigarettes to them.
Fu Chunping followed her cousin and called him uncle and aunt a little uneasily. She guessed that the young and middle-aged man who followed him in was the person introduced by her cousin. She didn't have the nerve to look directly at him, so she just looked at him quietly.
The middle-aged man introduced by his cousin is moderately fat and thin, dressed casually, neither ugly nor handsome, and has average appearance.
Fu Chunping looked at it for a few times, then looked away, paying attention to the other two ladies.
Fu Yuanyuan also followed her mother to call people. The elderly were called Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou, and the young ones were called Uncle Zhou.
Grandma Zhou and Grandma Zhou Man didn't pretend to be pretentious. After sitting down, they looked at the young woman without hesitation and looked at the foreign minister. The young woman looked quite upright. Looking at her hands and feet and her clothes, she didn't look like Hu Li's fancy type. .
In a word, it seems quite suitable on the surface, but you need to understand your temperament and the like.
After sitting down again, Fu Chunping was stared at by the two old ladies and felt embarrassed.
Fu Yuanyuan stood close to her mother and looked at the person curiously.
Brother Zhou also took a look at the young woman. The young woman was wearing a short-sleeved casual shirt with a folded collar, jeans, and her hair was tied into a mid-high ponytail, which was longer than her shoulders.
The young woman has a round face, a little fatter than the average woman, her skin is neither black nor white, and her eyes are also a very common eye shape.
The little cub next to her is a little thin, has good skin, and is fair and fair. He must be losing his teeth. When he smiles, his gums are missing one of his front teeth, which looks quite happy.
When it comes to his feelings for young women, Brother Zhou has one sentence: I don’t have any special feelings. So, he didn't express his opinion and listened to his mother, uncles and aunts chatting with Director Fu.
The two parties explained the situation again, and Grandma Zhou also confessed: "I have to start with this. After Xia Long's divorce, Xia Long and I made a contract in advance to avoid trouble in the future. The entire ancestral property was given to Zhou Tianming.
So, if the woman brings a child, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, the Zhou family can help raise them, but they will not give them any property.
In case Zhou Xialong and his new wife have another child, it depends on whether Tianming himself is willing to give some of his family property to his younger brother or sister. If Tianming doesn't want to give it, no one can force him.
Zhou Tianming said that when his stepmother married into the Zhou family, he would not turn his arms outwards, but would sincerely live with his father so that he could grow old together. When the stepmother gets old, he would provide for her. If...,
Well, if I didn't say this, everyone would understand. Anyway, it means you do the first grade and I do the fifteenth grade. ”
Director Fu looked at Zhou's mother and son in astonishment: "Aunt, you and Brother Zhou have really thought long term. They have clearly divided up the property early. This will really save trouble and reduce a lot of conflicts. Both parties There is no dispute over the property. If we get along, we can live together. If we don’t get along, we won’t go to the extent of filing a lawsuit over family property, and everyone will be fine.”
"I am also a blessing to the Lele family. It is the previous generation of the Lele family who set a good example, and I have spent some time with the young people Lele knows. This has broadened my horizons." Grandma Zhou unknowingly Show a proud face.
The old lady was pragmatic, and Director Fu was willing to continue the discussion in a further direction. He, the Zhou brothers and the sisters-in-law would reveal all the family situations to each other so that the other party could understand.
The two parties had a very good conversation, and the two principals became foils.
After chatting for a while, Aunt Pa went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
The Zhou family stayed for dinner, and Director Fu didn't refuse.
Zhou Chunping couldn't talk about anything else, so she went to the kitchen to help with some odd jobs.
Auntie Pa did not show any politeness, and asked people to follow her. While she was finding meat, cooking it, and making some preparations, she chatted about some household matters. After talking for a while, she asked: "Girl, what do you think of my nephew?"
Fu Chunping blushed again and glanced at the door before whispering: "Aunt, it's the first time we met today. I would say it was love at first sight. That's a lie. I didn't find it annoying, nor did I like it. It's like People like us who have been divorced once don’t have much confidence in remarrying. We may need to get to know each other for a while before we can feel it.”
The young woman spoke quite honestly. Aunt Pa couldn't tell whether she was really thinking or telling it to herself. She decided that it would be safer to wait for Xiao Lele to come back and ask Xiao Lele to help find out.
In Meicun, because of the relationship with the Le family, even the older singles in their thirties who had never been able to find a partner have become hot commodities. Not to mention Zhou Xialong, Leshan's uncle, if the news of the divorce spreads, It is estimated that those who propose marriage can cross the threshold.
In order to prevent being taken advantage of by villains, Zhou Xialong was very careless in finding a partner. Aunt Pa never mentioned his nephew again and only chatted about insignificant household matters.
While his cousin was not present, Director Fu, who was acting as a matchmaker, asked Zhou Xialong for his contact number, and then gave his cousin's mobile phone number to Zhou Xialong so that both parties could get to know each other.
