Chapter 49 A strong sour smell
"If all else fails, find him someone from the countryside."
"Dad, I..."
When Fu Zhenggang heard this, he raised his head and stared at Fu Wenlei in disbelief.
After all, he is the son of a cadre, how could he marry a country girl!
"Lao Fu, how can a country daughter-in-law be allowed? I absolutely disagree."
Xia Caiyun was also panicked and pulled Fu Wenlei's sleeve and begged.
"If you don't believe me, go find out for yourself if there's any other girl in town who's willing to marry your son."
Fu Wenlei also felt extremely tired. After saying this, he dragged himself into the room without even looking at Fu Zhenggang.
"My son, my poor son?"
"Mom, go find a matchmaker and find me someone from the city. I'm not picky, as long as he's not from the country."
Fu Zhenggang turned around with a sad face, took Xia Caiyun's hand and said.
"Mom knows. Don't worry. I will definitely find you a wife from the city."
Xia Caiyun also couldn't bear to see Fu Zhenggang really marry a country girl, because the neighbors would laugh at her to death.
No, Xia Caiyun would never allow this to happen.
"Son, you should rest well at home. Mom will go out and ask around."
Fu Zhenggang has been feeling very weak these days because he spent too long in the manure pit and cannot go out to see the fresh air.
The main reason was that people would point fingers at him if he went out, so he simply stopped going out and used a chamber pot in the house to go to the toilet.
After watching Xia Caiyun leave, Fu Zhenggang put away the pitiful expression on his face and slowly returned to his room to continue lying down.
He just doesn't have to work and is too lazy to go to work, so how much money can he make?
Just wait and see, Fu Zhenggang is about to make a fortune.
Fu Zhenggang thought of the scene he had seen before, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Just wait. By then, even if Zhao Yunyun begs him at his feet, he won't even look at her."
Fu Zhenggang closed his eyes and imagined this scene, almost laughing out loud.
It was not easy for Xia Caiyun to find someone to introduce her to a wife. The main reason was that everyone in this area knew about the Fu family's troubles, and no one wanted to introduce a good girl to Fu Zhenggang.
When the matchmaker saw Xia Caiyun coming, she was still very surprised. She waited patiently for Xia Caiyun to finish explaining her purpose of visit, then waved her hands and found an opportunity to slip away.
Even the matchmakers don't dare to take this job. Wouldn't that be destroying their own jobs?
If you really introduce a city girl to Fu Zhenggang, you will be pushing him into the fire pit.
Xia Caiyun beat up the older girls who hadn't even entered the house yet.
I heard that Fu Zhenggang, a grown man, is not good at that.
Fu Wenlei looked righteous, but he was actually full of evil intentions and was very vicious.
Xia Caiyun didn't realize that her family's reputation was ruined, and she even asked the matchmaker to put forward her requirements for a daughter-in-law.
"Xia Caiyun, I really don't have anyone suitable. You should ask someone else."
The matchmaker, who was unlucky enough to have her clothes caught, smiled and said, using some clever strength to break free and walked away quickly, muttering to herself as she spoke.
"Listen, what kind of words are these?"
"A city girl with a good-looking face and a job wouldn't be able to get married without humiliating herself like this."
The matchmakers who were held back by Xia Caiyun felt it was bad luck and immediately complained to their sisters after returning home.
"Bah, you are all heartless people, who are you looking down on?"
Xia Caiyun went out for the whole afternoon but couldn't find anyone, and she was so angry that her teeth were itching.
"It's just a small matter, yet you're still making excuses. If you don't earn the money, someone else will!"
Xia Caiyun was thinking that she would need to find a few more matchmakers.
"I just don't believe it. My old Fu family still can't find a wife!"
Xia Caiyun went home to drink some water to moisten her throat, then quickly went out with a bottle of water to find a wife for Fu Zhenggang in the city.
…
"Oh my goodness, three people fell into the pit, this is big news!"
After hearing this, Sister Mei and the other two almost couldn't close their mouths. The melon was too big and they needed to digest it carefully.
"Xiao Lin, your compound is so lively!"
Yan Yue lives in an apartment building and rarely sees such a wonderful scene. She looks at Lin Xiaotong with envy.
"Don't mention it. No one has been in that restroom for three days because of that three-man fight."
Lin Xiaotong shuddered as she thought of the messy and smelly toilet.
When the third uncle came back from National Day, he was furious when he saw the toilet in such a mess.
It took several buckets of water to flush the toilet area clean. Fortunately, the weather has gradually improved. If it were still summer, it would be impossible to live nearby.
There is still a stench until now, and the children don’t go there anymore.
No one goes to that alley. People in their compound all use the public toilets at their workplace or nearby.
After get off work, Lin Xiaotong went to her aunt's house in the Public Security Bureau's staff quarters and took out six crabs in a plastic net bag. On the way, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative and weighed two kilograms of frozen hairtail.
We always eat fish during the Chinese New Year and other festivals. River fish such as carp and crucian carp are hard to buy, so frozen hairtail is the most common.
During the Chinese New Year, every household fries hairtail fish. It is quite luxurious to fry the hairtail fish with oil until it becomes crispy, and then put a large bowl full of it in a cool place in the kitchen.
The greedy children would secretly take one or two pieces when the adults were not paying attention. After getting them, they would quietly mark the empty space with their little hands to avoid being discovered by the adults.
There is another way to eat hairtail fish. It is to stew it in a pot with onions, ginger, garlic and seasonings, and then eat the fish jelly after it cools down.
When eating, use a spoon to scoop it twice. The fish jelly with a "duang duang" sound will melt instantly when it touches the hot rice.
The fish meat mixed with fish juice and rice is so delicious that it can make you dizzy.
As I thought about it, I became greedy again and pedaled the bike faster.
She quickly arrived at the gate of the compound, got off her bike, pushed it into the second gate of the front yard.
"Xiu Lan, your Xiaotong has brought so many things back to her husband's house again. This time she brought so many goodies back from her parents' home!"
Diao Yulian was twisting her waist while collecting clothes in the backyard. She saw Lin Xiaotong coming in with hairy crabs. She had a smile on her face, but her words were full of sarcasm.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaotong smiled and was not annoyed. She waited for Diao Yulian to finish speaking before replying.
"Aunt Diao, you have a really good eye. I'll ask you to come and have a look when we eat crabs tomorrow."
"There are a lot of crab legs here. If my mother-in-law can't get used to it, I'll give it to you."
"But Auntie, don't come empty-handed. It's better to bring a bottle of vinegar so we can dip it in the food."
Diao Yulian's face turned pale and blue, blue and black, like a palette. She twisted her waist and walked away quickly.
"Hey, auntie, don't go. It's settled. Bring your vinegar tomorrow."
Lin Xiaotong has been living in the compound for some time and knows what kind of person Diao Yulian is.
He loves to stir up trouble and is a bully who only picks on the weak and fears the strong.
"It has to be sour enough, just like today, even without you saying anything, I can smell a strong sour smell!"
Diao Yulian quickened her pace as if there were Japanese soldiers chasing her, and walked into the room and closed the door.
