Sunday, August 21, 2022.
Today is an important day that will be remembered for the rest of their lives by the dozens of bachelors in Longshan Village, because Jiang Wendong, who has been sitting firmly at the top of the bachelor list in Longshan Village for nearly a decade, actually has a woman coming to his house to "look after the house."
As soon as the news came out, the whole village was in an uproar!
Although the woman's coming to "visit the house" does not mean that the marriage will be 100% successful, everyone who has been on a blind date knows that if it can get to the stage of "visiting the house", there is at least a 70% or even 80% chance of success.
After all, in the three steps of a blind date, you can do the first step of getting to know each other secretly. It is not difficult to hide it from everyone in the village. It can be said that no one knows about it.
But if you get to the second step of the three steps of blind dating, 'visiting the family', then the meaning is completely different. This is a major event that requires the participation of relatives from both sides. If there is no intention of marrying the other party, few people will do such a thing.
Because everyone is well aware of the significance of 'guarding the house', the villagers find it a little unbelievable.
After all, there are dozens of people on the bachelor list in the village, and other bachelors can't get married. Why is it that Jiang Wendong, who has been sitting in the top position for nearly ten years, can get married?
As a result, many villagers who heard the news couldn't help but gather near Jiang Wendong's house.
Then, many people were surprised to find that the person who acted as matchmaker for Jiang Wendong was actually Jiang Feng.
Speaking of Jiang Feng, a university student from a prestigious university, who returned to the village to act as a matchmaker, he indeed caused quite a stir in the village, especially since he arranged two marriages in less than a month after returning, earning tens of thousands of dollars and even buying a car. This series of spectacular operations really amazed the villagers.
But that’s all.
In the eyes of the villagers, Jiang Feng was always just a young boy who didn't even have a girlfriend. The fact that he was able to successfully matchmake two marriages and earn tens of thousands of dollars was just luck, and it didn't mean that he was really capable of being a good matchmaker.
This is the reason why, except Jiang Wendong, no one in the village has come to ask Jiang Feng to be a matchmaker.
It was not until now, after the villagers discovered that the person who acted as matchmaker for Jiang Wendong, the number one bachelor in Longshan Village, was actually Jiang Feng, that they completely changed their views of Jiang Feng.
He feels like a young hero who has just debuted in the world of martial arts. Even if there are rumors that this young hero has high martial arts skills, his age is there after all, so many people will not believe it.
Even if this young hero had a record of killing one or two martial arts masters, others would think that he killed them by poison or with luck.
Until one day, this young hero forcefully kills a martial arts leader at the level of Shaolin abbot in front of everyone. Those who have always turned a blind eye to this young hero's achievements will suddenly wake up and believe in the young hero's strength from then on.
While the villagers were talking about Jiang Feng and Jiang Wendong, Jiang Feng was playing the role of a relative of the man and helping to greet the relatives of the woman.
Visiting the house is considered as an inspection of the man's family by the girl's family. Jiang Wendong naturally attaches great importance to it. Not only did his younger brother Jiang Wenxi rush back early, but his uncle and aunt, two aunts and uncles, and two uncles and aunts also all came to help.
Because before arranging the blind date for Jiang Wendong and Zou Xiaoyin, Jiang Feng explained the situation of both parties to the other party truthfully, so whether it was the blind date that day or the house-sitting today, it was actually just a formality.
After discovering that what they saw was basically consistent with what the matchmaker Jiang Feng had described, both parties felt very satisfied.
Therefore, Jiang Feng struck while the iron was hot. Before the second step of the blind date was even completed, he directly passed the message and decided on the betrothal gift and registration date on the spot.
The woman didn't ask for much in terms of dowry, just 28,000 yuan.
As for the date to register in the county town, it was decided to do so tomorrow. The speed of the registration was so fast that it once again broke Jiang Feng's matchmaking record.
That night, the whole Longshan Village was talking about Jiang Wendong's upcoming marriage registration, and they were full of admiration for Jiang Feng's matchmaking skills. Especially for those families whose sons were listed on the list of bachelors in Longshan Village, this was definitely a big news worth paying attention to.
Less than 500 meters away from Jiang Feng's house there is a family surnamed Wei. They moved to Longshan Village in the 1950s and 1960s. Today, the head of the Wei family is named Wei Tiande, who is a small contractor.
At this time, Wei Tiande and his wife Sun Fang were thinking about asking Jiang Feng to be a matchmaker for their eldest son.
Wei Tiande has three sons. The second and youngest sons have already started families, but the eldest son, Wei Mingjie, is still a single man at the age of 38, becoming a heavyweight member of the bachelor list in Longshan Village.
Logically speaking, the Wei family's conditions were not bad, and they were ranked in the first tier in the village. The eldest son, Wei Mingjie, was also good-looking. From any perspective, he should not be on the list of bachelors in Longshan Village.
But no matter how good your conditions are, it will be useless if you meet someone who doesn't want to get married.
Yes, it’s not that Wei Mingjie can’t get married, but that he simply doesn’t want to get married.
Over the past ten years, Mr. and Mrs. Wei Tiande have worried so much about their eldest son that they have invited matchmakers several times, but their eldest son is like a turtle eating a weight and is determined to remain a bachelor.
As the years passed, the eldest son was already 38 years old, but still had no intention of getting married. Mr. and Mrs. Wei Tiande became so anxious that their hair turned a lot grayer.
Both the couple knew that their eldest son had refused to get married for so many years. There must be a reason for that. Unfortunately, no matter how they asked him, he would not tell them. He just asked his parents not to worry about him and that he had no plans to get married in his life.
But as a parent, which one would be willing to see his or her son die alone without even having any offspring?
"Tian De, there is no problem in asking Xiao Feng to be the matchmaker. His matchmaking ability has now been proven. The key is how to convince A Jie to go on a blind date?" Sun Fang said with a melancholy face.
Wei Tiande sighed and said, "This kid is really stubborn, but this matter can't be delayed any longer. Whether he is willing to go on a blind date or not, he must give me a reasonable reason this time, otherwise I will die with my eyes wide open."
Sun Fang nodded in agreement and said, "You're right. We can't delay this any longer. While I'm still healthy, let him get married and have kids. I can still take care of the kids for him."
Wei Tiande said: "There is no time to lose. When he comes back tonight, I will have a good talk with him about this matter."
Sun Fang hesitated and said, "I'm afraid it won't work tonight. Every time he goes out, he always drinks until midnight before coming back."
Wei Tiande said: "No matter how late it is, wait for him to come back and talk, otherwise I won't be able to stay at home and watch him get up tomorrow."
Sun Fang nodded when she heard this. In that case, let’s wait!
