Chapter 2004 Matchmaking
Grandma Cao originally thought that the person who came was familiar, and her voice was very familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was. When the person announced his family name, she suddenly realized it.
After checking the person's seat, he couldn't help but sigh: "Are you Mrs. Zhou Bapi? I said that I always feel familiar, but I can't remember. You should be close to seventy. Now that you look like you, others may not believe you if you are fifty. No wonder I I didn’t recognize you for a moment.”
Cao Qingyue put away the bag and went to get the watermelon to treat the guests.
"It's not thanks to little Lele, we old guys have been well taken care of and are getting younger as we live."
Aunt Ba smiled brightly and went straight to the point without beating around the bush: "Grandma Cao, you've seen things before, so I won't talk nonsense. I'm here to help your girl find a match. The adults are working during the day this season. That’s why I picked this point.”
When Ms. Li heard that she was trying to secure a match for herself, she immediately declined: "Auntie, I appreciate your kindness. I am not planning to get married again. For the rest of my life, I just want to accompany my mother and raise the two girls. This way I will be content."
Cao Qingyue heard that the guest was here to talk to her mother, so she gave the guest, grandma, mother and sister a piece of watermelon, and she also pulled up a chair and sat down to listen.
Cao Bingyue was still young and didn't understand what matchmaking was. Grandma Cao thought for a while and asked one more question: "Sister, who is your matchmaker?"
Ms. Li called her, "Mom, if I don't get married, I will stay at home and grow old with you."
"We'll decide whether to marry or not later. At least listen to what Aunt Zhou has to say. I don't necessarily trust others to be the matchmakers. The Zhou family is the matchmaker, so the man must be reliable."
Granny Cao doesn't trust ordinary matchmakers, but she still trusts the Zhou family in Meicun. The Zhou family and the Le family are related by marriage, so the Zhou family will naturally not do anything unkind to ruin their reputation.
"Yes, you can consider it, right?" Aunt Pa said cheerfully: "The man is also from Plum Village. He is honest and has a good temper. He doesn't have the big problem of hitting his wife, favoring boys over girls, drinking, bragging, gambling and playing cards.
< br>
The man is a few years older than the girl in your family, Grandma Cao. He has a son and a daughter, and he has an old lady above him. His old lady is a kind-hearted woman, not a harsh master. If the man has a bad temper, I won’t dare. I'm here to protect my matchmaking, so I'm afraid someone will stab me in the back. ”
"I remember that no one in Meicun met the conditions you mentioned," Grandma Cao was very surprised: "There are only two people under sixty in Meicun who don't have a mother-in-law. One is Zhang Ke, who was cuckolded by his mother-in-law, and the other is from the Liu family. An old man in his fifties, the one from the Liu family has two girls.”
"It didn't happen before, but now it does," Aunt Pa smiled more and more kindly: "The man has just divorced, and the outside world doesn't know yet.
And, to tell you the truth, it was actually the girl from the Le family who was the matchmaker.
The little boy from the Le family was doing research on aquatic plants and shrimps in the old well today. When he came to the cross well, he saw Granny Cao, and remembered that Granny Cao, your daughter from your hometown, didn’t have a partner either. Xiao Lele said that she was in the field at that time. I’ve seen girls from the Cao family on the construction site. Is there such a thing? ”
Mrs. Cao's mother-in-law, Ms. Li, and Cao Qingyue were shocked when they heard that it was the girl from the Le family who was the matchmaker.
Ms. Li nodded subconsciously: "That's what happened. I was hospitalized when I gave birth to my second child. I lived in the same room with Miss Le's new mother. Thanks to the care of Miss Le's family and Miss Le, the root cause of the disease did not fall into my body. At the primary school construction site, Miss Le went to check the quality and we met once. Unexpectedly, Miss Le still remembered us mother and daughter.”
"Xiao Lele is optimistic about you and your eldest daughter. It's not easy for you to raise a child by yourself. She acts as a matchmaker for you. You can also find someone to rely on to help you share some of the pressure.
Lele's status is a little different now. It's not convenient for her to come forward to mediate, so I will do it for her.
The man's side doesn't require the woman to marry, which means that she doesn't have to marry. The woman doesn't get married, and the man doesn't come to the house. When the two parties get married, they live together and raise the elderly and children on both sides. One of the children on the man's side is already married, and the other is married. I am about to graduate from college and there is no pressure at home. ”
Aunt Pa was talking loudly, and Ms. Li looked shocked. Miss Le is optimistic about her and Qingyue?
Cao Qingyue was also shocked. Sister Lejia was optimistic about her?
Granny Cao became even more depressed: "Miss Le is upright and upright, philanthropic, and willing to benefit the descendants of Jiudao Ten Thousand People. She is a great philanthropist. It is Chunxiu's honor that she personally protects the matchmaker for the Cao family. I believe that the man must also be a good family.
However, I can't figure out which family in Plum Village the man the Lejia girl is talking about is. ”
Ms. Li’s nickname is Li Chunxiu, a very down-to-earth name.
For Ms. Li's generation and Aunt Pa's generation, names such as "Chunxiu", "Chunxiang", "Chunhua" and "Chunmei" are called by almost every village, just like the current "Zizi" and "Zizi" "The usage rate of names like "Haoran" is equally high.
"You will never expect this," Aunt Pa smiled and revealed the answer: "The man Lele arranged for as a matchmaker is her brother's uncle, my nephew Zhou Xialong."
"What are you talking about?" Grandma Cao was frightened: "Don't make such a joke. Your nephew has a wife. He just married last year, right?"
Ms. Li was also shocked.
Cao Qingyue opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe her ears. Will Sister Le's family ask her mother to become an aunt for Sister Le's brother? !
"You can marry and you can divorce, right?" Auntie Pai said: "My nephew just got divorced yesterday and sent Xiaomeng back this morning. He is now single again." "But...but..." Granny Cao I think it may be because the sun was too strong during the day and I've been out in the sun for a long time, and now I'm still dizzy.
"How could there be a divorce? I have seen the Zhou couple several times at the construction site. They have a good relationship." Ms. Li also felt incredible.
"I have no choice but to leave," Aunt Pa sighed: "No one wants to leave again and again, but as long as life can go on, they will not leave.
The reason for the divorce was the girl brought by the woman. The girl was really... It's hard to describe. In less than a year since she came to the Zhou family, she had done a lot of things. Before, the Zhou family didn't publicize the scandal because of it.
But I can't resist that bastard. I heard that what she did in school became news in Fang County High School. I think the eldest granddaughter of the Cao family must have heard about it too, right?
The girl from the Li family went to the Le family and kept causing trouble, but the Le family didn't care. Who would have thought that she went to the Le family to steal things yesterday and stole two pieces of jade worth millions. When caught, she refused to admit it. Lele beat her up The phone call asked Ms. Li's mother to go home and search for the baby.
Actually, if you steal something and admit your mistake, or if Xiaomeng corrects his attitude and educates him, then the matter will be over. But that is not the case. She snatched a piece of jade and smashed it to pieces.
Someone offered more than 4 million yuan for the piece of jade that was smashed.
Her daughter stole things and broke jade. Not only did the mother fail to teach the child, but she also found excuses for her daughter. She also wanted to rely on her being the mother-in-law of Leshan's uncle, intending to prevent little Lele from being held accountable and let Lele eat by herself. Dumb loss. ”
Mrs. Cao's mother-in-law, Ms. Li, took a few breaths after hearing the reason for the divorce of her uncle from the Zhou family and knowing what the girl from the Li family had done.
So capable!
That person who dared to steal the Le family's things and broke millions of jade, must she have eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage, right?
"Miss Le...can she swallow that breath?" Grandma Cao remembered the jealous temper of the Le family girl in the past, and didn't believe that she could bear such a loss.
"How is it possible? Who doesn't know Xiao Lele's bad temper? She respects others as much as she does others. She will retaliate against anyone who bullies her. Xiao Lele punished the girl from the Li family on the spot. , let her either lose money or chop off her hands.
The girl from the Li family chose to repay the money, but Xiao Lele finally decided to educate the girl because Xiaomeng was the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family and did not alert the public, giving the girl from the Li family ten years to repay the money.
Granny Cao, you are also a parent. You always ask, can a daughter-in-law like that still live a happy life?
My nephew was also chilled by what the mother and daughter did time and time again, so he went to get a divorce that same day.
It's fate. My nephew just got divorced yesterday. Xiao Lele happened to see Granny Cao today. Remembering that your old girl was not married yet, she introduced Aunt Cao to me and her Grandma Man when she went back.
As the saying goes, there are many girls in a family, and there are many people who want to be matchmakers for girls from your hometown. I am not afraid that I will miss it if I am late, Xiao Lele said on the front foot, and I will come on the back foot. ”
Mrs. Cao's mother-in-law, Ms. Li, also sympathizes with the Zhou family. If they were the male partner, they would definitely divorce. Wouldn't they stay together for the New Year?
Aunt Pa told the reason for her nephew's divorce, and didn't talk about the other behaviors of the Li family's mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and grandparents.
Granny Cao stayed with Aunt Pa for dinner, so Aunt Pa naturally didn't refuse and took Granny Cao to do some household chores.
Ms. Li was cooking, and Aunt Pa said with a smile, "I brought a piece of braised pork made by Xiao Lele. Let's cook it and let the two little cubs have a taste."
Ms. Li was hesitant. She did not agree that the matchmaker should take the things back as they were. How could she return them if she cooked them?
Aunt Pa noticed Li Chunxiu's intention and calmly explained that the piece of braised pork was not among the items she had brought. Xiao Lele asked her to bring it to the Cao family's two cubs.
When the matchmaker mentioned that, Li Chunxiu didn't hesitate anymore. He found a piece of meat from his refrigerator and made a hot pot base. He cut the braised meat and served as host and guest.
Eating is the best occasion to bring people closer together. You may not know how much business is done during dinner parties.
Grandma Cao and Aunt Pa could both drink some wine, and Ms. Li also drank with them. After a few small drinks, we started chatting about everything.
While drinking heavily, Aunt Pao changed from "Grandma Cao" to "Sister Cao" and then to "In-laws Cao". At first, Granny Cao was against it, but Pa Auntie just wanted to do it. It doesn't matter if it works or not, but if it doesn't work, let's just do it. Dear.
Then, they drank and drank, and then drank two more drinks. Before finishing the meal, Auntie Pa already persuaded Granny Cao, and the two agreed on a day and place for the man and woman to meet. As for Ms. Li's opinion, she no longer had any opinions. important.
Ms. Li wanted to interrupt several times, but she didn't say she wanted to consider it. Why did the elders just discuss the meeting?
She had no chance to interrupt, so she just stared at the matchmaker and mother with her eyes open as they made arrangements for her.
