After greeting Huang Jianguo at noon, Chen Zhaodi started looking for potential partners in the family compound after get off work in the afternoon.
After finishing her meal, she grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and a handful of candy, stuffed them into her pocket, and then went out.
Seeing this, Huang Jianjun joked, "Big brother, it looks like I'll soon have a sister-in-law!"
Huang Jianguo didn't get angry; instead, he laughed and said, "I'm 21, you're 20. After I get married, how long do you think you can stay carefree?"
You know, if it weren't for Huang Jianguo above him, he would also be considered an older unmarried man. He would have been pressured to get married long ago.
Huang Jianjun: ∑(;°Д°)
Oh no! I forgot about that!
The main reason is that Chen Zhaodi and Huang Eryuan have always focused their pressure on Huang Jianguo to get married, which has allowed Huang Jianjun to escape unscathed each time.
But in other families, not being married by 20 is already considered late. Once Huang Jianguo gets married, he will become the only bachelor in the family!
It's not hard to imagine that Huang Jianjun will soon face the same situation.
But neither of them expected that Huang Jianjun and Huang Jianguo would go on blind dates at the same time.
Because Chen Zhaodi has just met two people who seem to be perfect matches for her!
"Really, I'm not lying to you. If it weren't for the fact that she's from the countryside and my family couldn't afford to raise her, I would have kept her for my son!"
Aunt Wang's words were so sincere and heartfelt.
But no matter how good it is, having a rural household registration is a problem.
Nowadays, children's household registration follows their mothers, but people with rural household registration cannot change to urban household registration even if they marry into the city.
Unless you find a job in the city or pull some strings, it's going to be tough.
You know, if you're not a city resident, you don't get grain rations, and you have to spend a lot more money to buy grain.
Even if we didn't have enough food coupons, we'd still have to spend money to buy them in the countryside!
Chen Zhaodi was quite satisfied with what she heard, but she was also a little worried: "But she's already 20 years old, how come she's still not married?"
"Could it be that he's not in good health? Otherwise, how could someone with such good qualities still be unmarried?"
Aunt Wang waved her hand: "She's in good health, and she always earns the full amount of work points!"
The more Chen Zhaodi listened, the more she felt something was amiss, and the others felt the same way.
"That doesn't make sense. You said that girl is good-looking, hardworking, filial, and earns a lot of work points. She doesn't seem like the type who can't get married at all."
"You're not trying to fool Eryuan's wife, are you?"
Although Chen Zhaodi didn't say it aloud, it was clear that she thought the same thing.
Everyone turned to look at Aunt Wang, waiting to see how she would explain herself.
Aunt Wang felt uncomfortable with their questioning and spat out a sunflower seed shell angrily.
She said loudly, "Who doesn't know that my Aunt Wang never lies!"
Then, as if he had thought of something, he said somewhat dejectedly, "But, that girl does have a tiny bit of a problem."
After saying that, Aunt Wang gestured with her hands to indicate that there was really only a tiny problem.
Chen Zhaodi felt somewhat relieved when she heard from Aunt Wang that there were still problems.
She said, "Such a good girl, if she had absolutely no problems, she couldn't possibly be unmarried yet."
Chen Zhaodi asked impatiently, "What's the problem? Tell me, and I'll see if I can accept it."
Aunt Wang sighed and said somewhat guiltily, "That girl's parents are gone, and she's all alone."
"She has been living at her uncle's house for the past few years, but her aunt said that if she wants to marry her, she has to give a dowry of fifty yuan."
Wow!
"They want fifty yuan as a bride price in the countryside?! Why doesn't she just rob us?!"
"That's right, my daughter's dowry was only thirty yuan!"
"In our family compound, it seems that only Qin's daughter and Ermei's bride price exceeded fifty, right?"
"That's too much! No wonder that girl is still single!"
"What about her dowry? How much was her dowry?"
Some people thought that maybe the girl's aunt was planning to bring the bride price as part of her dowry.
"Forehead..."
Aunt Wang touched her nose and whispered something, but because her voice was so soft, no one could hear her clearly.
Chen Zhaodi turned her body to the side and asked, "What did you just say?"
Aunt Wang, having nothing to lose, closed her eyes and shouted, "Her family doesn't plan to give her any dowry, and the entire bride price will stay at home!"
!!
As soon as Aunt Wang spoke, the others started to discuss among themselves and began to advise Chen Zhaodi.
“Second wife, don’t be confused! This girl is good, but not only is she from the countryside, her family is also not good.”
"Yes, with your family's resources, finding someone from the city would be a piece of cake!"
"That's right, that's right, don't rush, I know another girl here who's pretty good too."
"She is the only child in her family, and her parents are also cadres. She is just straightforward and not as delicate as most girls."
"Why don't you reconsider?"
Chen Zhaodi thought it was good to hear this, but she was also quite satisfied with the girl that Aunt Wang had just mentioned.
Although her maternal family wasn't good, they weren't exactly her maternal family either; they were just her maternal uncle's family.
As for the fifty yuan bride price, his family can afford it, and they're not getting married for the dowry money.
Chen Zhaodi held Aunt Wang's hand: "If it's just this problem, I can accept it. Could you please help me arrange to meet her?"
"If it really works out, I'll definitely prepare a big red envelope for you!"
Aunt Wang's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Great! I'll go back to my parents' house tomorrow and help you arrange a time with her!"
The others still didn't think it was a good idea. They all chimed in with advice: "Why don't you reconsider?"
"Yes, isn't this almost like selling your daughter?"
Chen Zhaodi shook her head; she thought this was quite suitable. She'd meet him first and see if it would work out.
However, Chen Zhaodi was also quite interested in the girl that the other person mentioned.
"Aunt Zhang, what's the situation with that only daughter you just mentioned? How old is she?"
Aunt Zhang thought she didn't like it, but hadn't she already decided to meet the person Aunt Wang introduced?
She asked curiously, "Didn't you take a liking to that girl from earlier? Are you still planning to learn more about her?"
"You wouldn't be suggesting that Jian Guo date two girls at the same time, would you?!"
Chen Zhaodi chuckled: "How could that be? You've forgotten, I have two sons!"
"I was just listening to what you said about that girl, and I thought she was pretty good. I wanted to see if she would be a good match for my second son."
Now it was Aunt Zhang's turn to scratch her head: "This..."
