Transmigrating to the ’70s: Selling the Iron Rice Bowl and Thriving in the Countryside

Lu Qingyang transmigrates into a ’70s-era novel as a pitiful cannon-fodder simp.

His cousin steals his job.

His family sends him to the poorest area to chop wood as a part of the rural ...

Chapter 357

What bad intentions could the child have? Ruixing hugged his grandfather and started crying.

"As long as grandpa can get better, I will never scold you again, and I won't scold you for doing something wrong."

Old Bao, who was already very old, also began to shed tears. Bao Xiang, who saw both the grandfather and grandson crying, couldn't help wiping away her tears.

"Dad, I will take good care of you. If there are any difficulties, our family will handle them together."

But the matter with the Tao family has not been resolved, and we agreed to give an answer today.

Matchmaker Niu brought people to Bao's house that night and said, "Oh, what else is there to choose from? If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever."

Bao Xiang politely refused: "My father is not in good health. If I marry him, we will be a burden. Otherwise, let's forget about it, okay?"

"Forget it? Wasn't he fine yesterday? You've seen him, he's so handsome. I'm telling you, Miss Bao, to put it bluntly, you won't be able to find a husband with your conditions. Are you going to rely on your father for the rest of your life? Your father's illness might be caused by his overwork."

The sarcasm in these words made Bao Xiang frown.

"We agreed at the beginning that it was okay even if it didn't work out, we just went to take a look, why are you saying that now?"

Lu Qingyang happened to be still here, helping to grind the medicine. When he heard this, he poked his head out of the pharmacy:

"Matchmaker Niu, why are you so concerned about whether the incense-wrapping thing will be successful? The other party is really offering too much, can't you refuse it?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I believe that a good match is hard to find, and these two people are so well-matched. I'm afraid she will regret it if she misses it!" The matchmaker Niu's eyes rolled around, feeling unhappy.

Seeing that the duck in my hand was already cooked, and now it was about to fly away, I was definitely not happy about it.

The other person specifically asked for a package of incense and offered her a large commission, so of course she was tempted.

"What you said is true. In this production team, I have introduced countless couples successfully. Everyone is living a happy life."

Lu Qingyang sneered, "You are quite impressive. Last time, there was a girl with body odor, and you said she looked as charming as a fox. You said she was a brave man and praised you as a smart guy. What else can't you brag about?"

"You... I'm telling you, why are you meddling in other people's affairs like your wife? What does it have to do with you when someone is dating? You seem quite enthusiastic."

"Our family likes to meddle in other people's business like this. In the future, I will be the captain of Liuxi Brigade. Won't I be in charge of the affairs of this production team?" Lu Qingyang was polite without losing his smile.

Matchmaker Niu thought to herself, oh no, I forgot about this. Lu Qingyang will be the team leader in the future. If I offend him, I will never have a good life.

"If you don't like it, then forget it. I'll go back and talk to the Tao family."

Half of the referral fee had already been collected, and she had to return it after putting it in her pocket. She really felt bad.

When they returned to the Tao family, the two brothers told the matter, "The girl doesn't want to, I have no choice, let's find someone else!"

Tao Jun was even more anxious than the eldest brother: "You think the gift is not enough, and you despise our family for being poor."

"In the production team, everyone has similar conditions, but her father is a village doctor, and the son of her father's apprentice may become a team leader in the future... Compared with this, your family has no advantage. Let me make it clear that this matter cannot be blamed on me. I have also wasted a lot of time and effort. If you want to blame someone, blame the other party for looking down on you!"

"My...my elder brother paid so much money, and you just let it go without saying anything?"

"I will return half of the money to you. As for the remaining half, even if I didn't make any contribution, I still worked hard!" The matchmaker said with a smile: "You can't blame me if it doesn't work out!"

Boss Tao breathed a sigh of relief: "Forget it if it doesn't work out, let's just take half and half!"

But Tao Jun thought so in his heart. How could he accept the money if he couldn't get the job done?

"You are so nice. I will return the remaining half to you in a few days. Or how about this? I will introduce you to other suitable girls?"

Tao Ying decisively refused: "No need, just return the money."

As soon as the matchmaker Niu left, his face darkened: "Brother, we have an agreement."

"If she doesn't want to marry, we can't force her, right? The matchmaker has already agreed to give us half of the money, so let's be merciful!"

Tao Jun narrowed his eyes: "I am not happy about this."

He turned and ran out, ready to catch up with the matchmaker and get to know her clearly.

"Wait a minute. Either return all of them, or you must introduce a successful person to me... to my eldest brother."

Matchmaker Niu thought the matter was settled, but Tao Jun caught up with her again.

"Didn't your eldest brother say that? No need to introduce yourself."

"Yes, I want some introductions. Introduce a few more to me!"

Although he was most satisfied with Baoxiang, the current situation did not allow him to choose at all.

"Okay then. If it's successful... the referral fee still needs to be settled. I won't refund it."

"If successful, everything will be settled. If unsuccessful..." Tao Jun showed a gloomy look.

Matchmaker Niu thought she had seen it wrong, so she rubbed her eyes and found that the person in front of her had returned to normal.

"Of course, it's according to your wishes."

"Okay, but your eldest brother's condition... well, the main thing is that you two brothers don't separate, and there will always be girls who mind."

Tao Jun knew what she meant: "My brother said that as long as there is no disease brought from the womb and the person is in good spirits, other requirements can be lowered. It is no problem to have more children. The most important thing is health, the ability to have children, and it is best if the child is pretty."

"That's easy. Let me think of a solution! Let your brother go back and wait for news!"

She was worried about how to pay back the money. Since she couldn't find the money in this production team, she would go to other production teams to look for it. Anyway, as long as she didn't have to rely on the same thing, it would be fine.

Tao Jun looked at her leaving back, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

While letting the matchmaker continue to look for a suitable candidate, he had to find a way to make Bao Xiang change her mind and not marry anyone other than his own eldest brother!

The obstacles that the matchmaker mentioned are not really obstacles.

As for Lao Bao, after Shen Mo felt his pulse and tried acupuncture, he was forced by Lu Qingyang to take pills.

Although he was still a little weak, he insisted on going to the clinic to treat the villagers every day.

I can't imagine it. He used to teach his apprentice the technique, and now his apprentice is helping him with the treatment. This feels very strange when I think about it carefully.

Strangely enough, his pulse seemed to stabilize since he started taking the medicine.
