at the same time.
Shiwan Hotel, Qingshan Town.
Zhu Shiliu is on a blind date.
The woman had a good figure and was pretty, which made Zhu Shiliu drool at the sight of her. If he could marry her, he would certainly be willing to do so.
So, while eating, Zhu Shiliu tried every means to show himself.
The other party's attitude did not keep him at a distance, which made Zhu Shiliu secretly happy. He behaved more actively so that the relatives of both sides could see his thoughts at a glance.
By the time the meal was almost over, the blind date was basically coming to an end, and it was time to give out red envelopes.
Seeing his son so satisfied, Zhu's father naturally couldn't hold him back, so the red envelope he gave to the girl was bulging, and it was obvious that the amount inside should not be small.
The matchmaker and the girl's relatives and friends also received red envelopes.
After the woman left, the matchmaker said with a smile: "Sixteen, judging from your performance during the meal just now, you should be satisfied with the woman, right?"
Zhu Shiliu did not hide anything in front of the matchmaker and said bluntly: "Yes, I am satisfied with her. Aunt Wu, can you call and ask her what her attitude is?"
Aunt Wu smiled and said, "How can you call and ask so quickly? You have to give them some time to consider. Don't worry, I'll call them again in the evening to ask about their attitude for you."
Zhu Shiliu nodded and said, "Well, Aunt Wu, you have to say a few good words for me."
Aunt Wu said, "That's for sure. I hope you can succeed too!"
Father Zhu, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Aunt Wu, let's go back and wait for your good news!"
Aunt Wu nodded and said, "Well, I will try my best!"
…
night.
Zhu Shiliu received a call from Aunt Wu, telling him the bad news that the girl was not very satisfied with him. If their family could come up with a betrothal gift of 280,000 yuan, then there would still be room for negotiation.
Oh shit!
Zhu Shiliu almost cursed out loud on the spot. If he wanted to refuse, he should just say so. Why bring up the bride price?
Then Aunt Wu said that it was her loss if the other party looked down upon him, and she would arrange something better for him in two days.
Zhu Shiliu really didn't know what attitude to use to face Aunt Wu, the matchmaker. Today's blind date was the third one he had attended in these days, and the first two were also arranged by Aunt Wu.
These three blind dates, plus the gifts and red envelopes when hiring a matchmaker, cost Zhu's father a total of more than 7,000 yuan, which can be said to be a heavy loss.
But can this be blamed on Aunt Wu, the matchmaker?
In the three blind dates, the people Aunt Wu arranged for him were all very outstanding, all the types that Zhu Shiliu liked, and he wanted to marry each of them.
But the other party looks down on him, what can he do?
Although they knew that the matchmaker was not to blame, after all they had lost more than seven thousand yuan without even touching the money. Both Zhu's father and mother and Zhu Shiliu himself felt depressed.
Just at this time, cousin Zhu Liang passed by their house on a motorcycle. Thinking back to when he saw that Brother Liang had just divorced some time ago, and within a few days he married a better woman, the speed was simply jaw-dropping.
Therefore, Zhu Shiliu, who wanted to learn from Brother Liang, shouted directly: "Brother Liang, stop for a moment!"
Zhu Liang stopped the car upon hearing this, looked at his fellow brother, and asked, "Sixteen, what's the matter?"
Zhu Shiliu did not answer but asked: "Brother Liang, are you free now? I have something I want to ask you!"
Zhu Liang said, "I just came back from work, tell me what you want to say!"
Zhu Shiliu said, "It's like this. I've been on blind dates these days. Including today's date, I've been on three blind dates in total. My dad has spent more than 7,000 yuan on it, but in the end, no one liked me.
Damn it, we just met for a meal, then I took a red envelope, and the next moment he said he looked down on me. It’s so infuriating!
Now that I see you, Brother Liang, I suddenly remember that you just got divorced a while ago, and then you married your current sister-in-law back in the blink of an eye. I heard that you also met through a blind date, so I wanted to ask you for your experience in blind dates."
Zhu Liang sighed with regret, "Hey, Sixteen, you should have told me about the blind date earlier, so that we wouldn't have to waste this money!"
Zhu Shiliu asked curiously, "Why do you say that? Do you really have any secrets to blind dates, Brother Liang?"
Zhu Liang said: "I don't have any secrets to blind dating, I just found the right matchmaker!"
Zhu Shiliu was surprised and asked, "What do you mean you found the right matchmaker? Wasn't it Aunt Wu you went on a blind date with before?"
Zhu Liang shook his head and said, "No, the matchmaker I found is not comparable to Aunt Wu and her ilk. She is a master with real skills, and she is an expert who can predict your marital status from your face."
As he spoke, Zhu Liang told his brother how he met Master Jiang in the car and how he later asked Master Jiang to act as a matchmaker for him. Zhu Shiliu was stunned.
After a while, Zhu Shiliu exclaimed: "Brother Liang, is there really such an amazing matchmaker in the world?"
Zhu Liang said, "It's really that amazing. I have Master Jiang's contact information here. If you trust me, please contact Master Jiang immediately and don't participate in such unrealistic blind dates and waste your money."
Zhu Shiliu nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Brother Liang. I don't know when you are free, but I would like to ask you to go with me to visit Master Jiang and ask him to be my matchmaker."
Zhu Liang thought for a moment and said, "I have finished all the work I took on today. I can spare some time to accompany you to meet Master Jiang tomorrow."
Zhu Shiliu said, "Thank you, Brother Liang. I will tell my parents about this first and ask them to tell Aunt Wu not to arrange any more blind dates for me."
"Okay, I'll go back first. Call me when you've discussed it with your parents."
"Yeah, okay!"
…
Longshan Village.
Jiang Feng's family of four are having dinner.
Father Jiang has now developed the habit of drinking a glass of white wine every dinner. As he poured the wine, he asked, "Xiao Feng, how was your blind date with Wen Dong today?"
Jiang Feng took a sip of sandworm and winter melon soup and said, "It went very smoothly. Both sides are satisfied. I plan to arrange for them to visit my house the day after tomorrow. If everything goes well, they will register for marriage before the end of the month."
Mother Jiang said with pride: "Xiao Feng is really amazing. When the girl comes to visit the day after tomorrow, the whole village will probably be in an uproar. By then, I'm afraid those people in the village will come to ask Xiao Feng to be their matchmaker!"
Father Jiang also said happily: "Yes, Xiao Feng can even successfully match a family like Wen Dong. There is no need to say more about her matchmaking ability. As long as the bachelors in the village still want to get married, they know what to do!"
Jiang Fei looked at his younger brother with admiration and said, "It seems that in two days, Xiao Feng will become a famous matchmaker in the village!"
"Most of the people in the village are brothers from the same clan. As long as they sincerely come to me to ask me to be a matchmaker, I will definitely not let them down." Having said that, Jiang Feng looked at Jiang Fei and asked, "Brother, how is your talk with the female doctor going? Is there any progress?"
Jiang Fei chuckled and said, "There has definitely been some progress. I am planning to take some time out to go to the provincial capital to meet her in the near future."
Jiang Feng nodded when he heard this. Since there was progress on his brother's side, the matter of building a house could not be delayed any longer. He looked at his father and said, "Dad, my brother has a girlfriend now, so we have to put the matter of building a new house on the agenda. Call my uncle later and ask him to take some time to come back to discuss building a house together."
Father Jiang also knew that building a house was imminent. Seeing his youngest son, who had become the backbone of the family, speak up, he said happily, "Okay, I'll call your uncle later."
