Secretary Gao and his friends were very satisfied with the wedding banquet, and they also negotiated to borrow bricks from the brigade's brick kiln to build a house.
Kong Wanwan naturally had no reason to pick on Shen Xiaobei and ask her to return the ten yuan cooking fee.
If there is something new happening in someone's home in the countryside, it will spread easily.
A few days after the wedding banquet, many people in Baiju Brigade learned that the young educated youth Shen from the Fifth Production Team was a good cook and could prepare dishes for the banquet.
Shen Xiaobei naturally felt that he had become famous.
Because every day when she went to work, or occasionally went to the brigade's sales store with Ke Xiaoli to buy some small things, she could clearly feel that many people had become more enthusiastic towards her.
I didn’t greet her before, but now when I see her, I will call her affectionately.
Shen Xiaobei fully believed that it wouldn't be long before she could get the second order for wedding banquets.
However, a few days later at noon, the first person from Baiju Brigade who came to the educated youth point to discuss something with her was not there to invite her to a wedding banquet, but to propose marriage for her.
The person who came was the only matchmaker in Baiju Brigade, known as Zhu Matchmaker.
Matchmaker Zhu was in her fifties and married into the production team of Accountant Xiong. Her husband and Accountant Xiong were relatives within the fifth degree of mourning.
Matchmaker Zhu learned that Shen Xiaobei was an excellent cook and was very generous and polite to others from what Accountant Xiong told her after she went back to Kong Wanwan's wedding banquet that day.
"Hey, everyone is eating!"
Matchmaker Zhu walked into the educated youth site, looking very familiar and smilingly greeting Shen Xiaobei and the others.
The six of them were having lunch in the main room.
The weather has been a bit hot these days, the sun is strong at noon, and we eat lunch in the main hall.
"Excuse me, auntie, who are you?"
"My last name is Zhu, you can just call me Aunt Zhu! Accountant Xiong from our brigade and I are from the same production team. I came here today specifically to talk to Mr. Shen about something."
"Oh, Xiaobei, I'm looking for you! Aunt Zhu, have you eaten? If not, come and have something to eat here with us!"
"No, no, you're so polite, young lady. I just came here after dinner."
"Oh, then Aunt Zhu, please take a seat first!"
After Fan Huifang politely exchanged a few words with matchmaker Zhu, she stood up and brought a stool for her to sit on.
Matchmaker Zhu didn't hesitate and sat down in the main room.
"You all continue eating, I came at a bad time! Shen Zhiqing, you eat too! I'll wait until you're done eating, then I'll talk to you!"
"Aunt Zhu, I've finished eating! What can I do for you?"
People were just waiting for her to finish eating and talk about things, so Shen Xiaobei naturally felt embarrassed to eat anymore.
He immediately stood up and left the table, walking to the opposite side of Zhu the matchmaker.
"Chen Zhiqing, this is what happened. You didn't know that Accountant Xiong came back from dinner with you guys that day and praised you in front of a lot of people in our team!"
"They say you're good-looking, hardworking, and a great cook! Someone heard about you and is attracted to you. They asked me to act as a matchmaker for her son, hoping you'll be her daughter-in-law!"
"Ah? Xiaobei, so Aunt Zhu is here to propose marriage to you. Haha, this is a happy occasion!"
"Hahaha, this is indeed a happy event!"
“Oh, you helped us prepare a wedding banquet, but you actually attracted peach blossoms to yourself! Tsk tsk, Shen Xiaobei, you have to thank me well!”
"Sister Xiaobei, you're so lucky in love!"
"Okay, what's this about luck in love? Eat your food and stop making trouble!"
After hearing the purpose of Matchmaker Zhu coming to see Shen Xiaobei, as well as the teasing words of Fan Huifang, Deng Yuliang and others, Du Wenli lowered his head and chewed his rice silently.
I feel mixed emotions.
He didn't expect that the person he had given up on is now becoming more and more dazzling!
On the contrary, he felt that Kong Wanwan was becoming more and more vulgar, cunning and unreasonable, and he felt less and less like a man and a woman towards her.
"Aunt Zhu, who wants me to be her daughter-in-law?"
"Shen Zhiqing, of course, comes from a wealthy family! Otherwise, a city girl like you wouldn't be able to ask her to marry her son!"
"Which one is it, do I know it?"
"Hey, you should know me."
"He's the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ye Laowu, who run our brigade's sales agency. His name is Ye Zhicheng, and he's 24 years old. Zhicheng teaches at our commune's middle school, and he's also an educated youth! He's not bad looking, either, and he's a good match for you in every way."
"Oh, his son? I don't have any impression of him! Every time I go to the agency store, I only seem to see their daughter there."
"Zhicheng only comes back during holidays, so you might not have a deep impression of him. But it doesn't matter. You can find time to meet him later, and then you'll have a good impression of him, right?"
"Anyway, Ye Laowu and his wife heard that you are so virtuous, capable, and educated, and they like you very much! If they like you, Zhicheng will definitely like you too, so if you marry into their family, you will definitely not be wronged in the future."
"Besides, Zhicheng has a good temper. You two will definitely get along well!"
Matchmaker Zhu came to act as a matchmaker for the man, so naturally she only said good things about him.
Although Shen Xiaobei had no intention of going on a blind date with this Ye Zhicheng.
However, this person's parents run a sales agency store in the brigade, and as long as these educated youth still live in Baiju Brigade, they will inevitably see them every day.
Therefore, she didn't want to reject Zhu the matchmaker so quickly.
This way, you won’t feel embarrassed when you go to a retail store to buy something or pick up a letter from home.
"Aunt Zhu, Ye Zhicheng has such good conditions, how come he still doesn't have a partner at the age of 24? I wonder if he has very high standards? What if he doesn't like me? Wouldn't I be laughed at by everyone in the team?"
