"Are you talking about this incident? The village is so small, and you've made such a big fuss about it. My husband is the team leader, so how could I not know about this?"
As soon as Jiang Li opened her mouth, Yao Qiaoyun knew what she wanted to say.
When she first heard about this, she felt something was wrong. Jiang Li did not ask for a wide net, and Zhang Guocai, apart from being a little older, did have good conditions.
This will inevitably result in too many people coming for blind dates, which will seriously disrupt Zhang Guocai's weaving.
Jiang Li has children and students at home, and the noise will make the whole family restless.
But this was Jiang Li's own decision, and even if Yao Qiaoyun felt it was inappropriate, she would not interfere.
"Aunt, to be honest, I came here this time just to ask you to help with the screening and preliminary selection, and by the way, you can also help my uncle look for someone."
Jiang Li was in a hurry when he came, but when he came in front of Yao Qiaoyun, he was a little at a loss.
Yao Qiaoyun has always liked Jiang Li the most. Now that she comes to her for help, she is naturally willing to help her.
"Of course it's no problem for me to do this little thing. You see, the work I do in the fields every day isn't that much, and your uncle is very capable. He often rushes to finish the work. I'm free anyway, so if you need any help, just let me know."
Yao Qiaoyun agreed readily, and Jiang Li smiled. She let out a breath quietly and finally relaxed.
"Aunt, after discussing it with my uncle, I found out that his requirements for a partner aren't too high. He just wants someone who's over 24 years old, of average height, neither fat nor thin, with average looks, a good personality, caring, and not too burdensome to the family."
Each of Jiang Li's requirements was simple, but it was difficult to combine them together.
Because many people are either not suitable here or there, and always have shortcomings of one kind or another.
Yao Qiaoyun thought about it carefully and realized that such people were actually just ordinary people. If you put aside the age requirement, there were actually many people who met the requirements.
"Does she have to be 24 or older? Is a girl a year or two younger okay?"
Yao Qiaoyun was still testing Zhang Guocai's bottom line, and Jiang Li shook his head with a wry smile.
"Aunt, I've confirmed with my uncle several times. He clearly stated that he doesn't want young girls. Those over 24 are already the limit. He even wants girls in their twenties or thirties."
Jiang Li had already said this, so Yao Qiaoyun knew what to do.
"So what's the general standard for height? What's the acceptable range?"
"My uncle said anything above 150 or below 170 is fine."
Yao Qiaoyun nodded. This requirement was not too high, unless the girl was very short. Most girls were over 150 cm tall.
“What is the standard for being neither fat nor thin?”
"I've discussed this with my uncle, and we're talking about 80-140 pounds. Ideally, around 100 pounds. If all other requirements are met, a bit of weight is fine."
"Okay, I get it. This isn't a high request. It's all normal."
Yao Qiaoyun then asked a few more details, and Jiang Li answered them one by one.
Finally, Yao Qiaoyun asked the most crucial question, "What if the girl who meets these requirements is already married and has children?"
Jiang Li quickly shook his head. "My uncle said that married women with children tend to have lingering ties with their ex-husbands. He doesn't want to get involved in such a complicated relationship, as it would affect his creative work. However, married women without children are fine."
Yao Qiaoyun already knew all the requirements and bottom line of the person Zhang Guocai wanted to find. With a clear direction, it would be much easier to find him.
Jiang Li found Yao Qiaoyun, which was equivalent to asking her to help act as a matchmaker.
The team leader is very prestigious in the village. Yao Qiaoyun has a gentle personality and is helpful, so he also has a good reputation in the village.
She knew a lot of people and was familiar with most of their families.
Her precise search is indeed much better than the previous swarm of people coming to the door.
"Okay, then I know what kind of girl to introduce to your uncle. Just leave this matter to me. I will help him find the most suitable candidate."
Yao Qiaoyun rarely acts as a matchmaker, but out of her love and trust for her family, she is very willing to be a matchmaker for Zhang Guocai.
"Thank you, Auntie. You are the best. You are always my support when I need you most."
Jiang Li smiled and pushed a pile of things over. Yao Qiaoyun was so busy talking about business that she didn't have time to look at them.
She untied the cloth bag in front of Jiang Li and saw that it contained tranquilizing and brain-tonifying liquid and malted milk, as well as a lot of food and daily necessities, and most importantly, a few strange little vests.
If you buy this bag of things, it will cost at least 50 yuan. Jiang Li came to ask her for help this time, and the gift he gave was really expensive.
"Jiang Li, your family isn't well off, yet you still give me so many things. How can I accept them?"
Yao Qiaoyun pushed the things back and scolded Jiang Li with a distressed look. This girl was spending money lavishly as soon as she got a little better off.
She is already old, why does she need such good things?
Instead of spending the money on her, you might as well buy more clothes and milk powder for the children!
"Auntie, I've made some money selling cakes recently, and you've been so kind to me. You even gave me so many things when I was in the most difficult time. The captain even had a falling out with his relatives because of me."
"I've heard about all this. I'm sorry for you. I didn't have the ability before, but now that I have the ability, I will definitely repay you."
"I gave these things willingly. They are my sincere gift. Please don't refuse them, auntie."
Jiang Li's words were sincere and heartfelt. Yao Qiaoyun was about to push the thing back again, but she withdrew her hand in an instant.
If this was Jiang Li's intention, her refusal would be tantamount to ungratefulness.
"Okay, I'll accept it this time. But next time, don't give me such expensive things. If you really care about me, then give me some of the cakes you made yourself."
"Jiang Li, the cakes you make are so delicious. Your uncle and I both like them. But I heard they're quite expensive. I feel embarrassed to ask you for more after I've finished eating them."
Yao Qiaoyun lowered her head and said embarrassedly.
However, compared to Jiang Li spending a lot of money to give these things, Yao Qiaoyun still thinks that giving pastries is the best.
It’s cheap and substantial, and the couple can satisfy their cravings, which is really the best thing.
"Okay, next time I'll listen to Auntie and send you some pastries when I make them. I was worried you'd get tired of them every day, but I didn't expect Auntie to like them so much. When my pastry business gets bigger, Uncle and Auntie will come over and make sure you're full of pastries!"
