October 9, 2022, 2:40 p.m.

In the provincial capital of Guangxi Province, Jiang Feng stood at the exit of the East Station, waiting for his sister to return from Hubei Province.

Because the train would not arrive at the station for a few minutes, and it would take some time to exit the station, Jiang Feng did not stare at the exit, but opened the Qidian app and started reading a novel.

The good thing about novels is that you can read them anytime and anywhere without disturbing others.

Recently Jiang Feng discovered an old completed book called "Catering Tycoon", which mainly tells the story of the protagonist who was reborn back to the year 2000, then secretly dropped out of school, used the tuition money given by his parents to start a business, started from a small white-cut meat stall, and grew step by step into a catering tycoon.

Although the book has many shortcomings, Jiang Feng still enjoyed reading it and could use it to kill some boring time.

Just when Jiang Feng was fascinated by the sight, there was suddenly a burst of noise. He looked up and found that a large group of passengers were walking out of the passage. It was obvious that the train had arrived at the station.

Jiang Feng immediately put away his phone and stretched his neck to look for his sister in the crowd.

After looking for two or three minutes, I finally saw the tall figure of my sister.

Sister Jiang Xue is 1.66 meters tall, which is very common in the north. But in Guangxi, where the average height is among the lowest in the country, it may be a bit exaggerated to describe her as a crane standing out among chickens, but there are really few women in the crowd who can compare with my sister in height.

At this time, Jiang Xue also saw her younger brother waiting at the exit, and immediately said to the aunt next to her: "Aunt Liu, my brother is here to pick me up, I'll leave first!"

Aunt Liu sighed and said, "Miss Jiang, I feel like we are really destined to be together. If you come to our Guizhou Province in the future, please call me so that I can do my best to be a good host!"

Jiang Xue sincerely thanked her: "Thank you Aunt Liu for your kindness. If I have the opportunity to visit Guizhou Province, I will definitely contact you!"

Aunt Liu nodded and said, "I'll ask my son to add you on WeChat later. Remember to accept it then!"

Jiang Xue smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, I'll be leaving then. Goodbye, Aunt Liu!" As she spoke, Jiang Xue pulled her suitcase, swiped her ID card and walked out.

Aunt Liu followed closely behind. The more she watched Jiang Xue walking away from her brother, the more she liked her. She made up her mind and decided to talk to her son about it, asking him to pursue the girl with all his heart and see if he could get her.

…

While helping his sister pull her suitcase to the parking lot, Jiang Feng asked, "Sister, who was that auntie just now? It seems like you and her were chatting quite well."

When this was mentioned, Jiang Xue couldn't help but complain: "Don't mention it. At first I thought I met a matchmaker and wanted to learn a few tricks from her, but I didn't expect Aunt Liu to be so interesting. She was actually looking for a partner for her son."

Then, without waiting for Jiang Feng to ask, he recounted the whole story, and finally said: "Aunt Liu not only added my WeChat and asked for my mobile number, but also said that she wanted her son to add me on WeChat. I don't know how to deal with it!"

Jiang Feng laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "It seems my sister is really charming!"

Jiang Xue shook her head helplessly and changed the subject: "I told you not to come pick me up, but you insisted on coming. It's hundreds of kilometers away!"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "We are free anyway, and the drive will take less than four hours. We can go home directly after you exit the station. Otherwise, you will have to drag your suitcase and take the subway to the bus station. It will be very tiring!"

Jiang Xue put her hand on his shoulder and said with emotion: "You are still good to me!"

…

When Jiang Feng and his sister returned home, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

At home, Jiang's mother cooked according to the time so that they could eat when Jiang Feng and his sister arrived home.

The family of five had not sat together to eat for a long time. The happy father Jiang specially opened a bottle of Moutai and drank it slowly with his eldest son Jiang Fei.

Now I have dozens of bottles of Moutai at home, and it’s no big deal to open a bottle occasionally.

Jiang's mother, Jiang Xue and Jiang Feng opened a bottle of red wine.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Jiang Feng said, "Brother, sister, I have received two clients in the past few days. I will take you to the door to matchmake tomorrow and give you a demonstration. If you receive clients again, I will be responsible for providing you with information, and the rest is up to you to matchmake!"

Jiang Fei said apprehensively, "Xiao Feng, I'm not very good at talking, and my emotional intelligence isn't high enough. I'm really afraid I won't be able to do this well."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry. Matchmaking is actually very simple. As long as you have the information of both the man and the woman, and then explain the advantages and disadvantages of both parties clearly, if both parties are interested in arranging a blind date for them, then it will be OK!"

Jiang Xue put down her chopsticks and said, "So the key to matchmaking is actually the information of both parties, right?"

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Yes, how to get the information of both parties and then match them together is the key to matchmaking. You don't have to worry about these. So matchmaking is very simple for you. Basically, you just need to open your mouth. There is nothing to worry about!"

Jiang Fei and Jiang Xue nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

The meal lasted until eight o'clock in the evening.

…

The wedding date of Wei Xuefeng and Xia Lingling has been set.

In fact, the moment Xia Lingling agreed to go "housekeeping", she was already mentally prepared to marry the other party, and the sincerity of the Wei family really touched her. With Wei Xuefeng's relentless pursuit, the two finally set a date for their wedding.

After the wedding date was set, the two families began to take action.

The first thing is to compile a list of guests to be invited.

This list includes relatives, childhood friends, classmates, business partners, etc. of both parties.

It is not an easy task for any family to compile such a guest list. It is mainly about weighing which people must be invited, which people can be invited or not, and which people do not need to be invited.

The most important thing is that no one who must be invited should be left out.

For someone with a wide range of social contacts, I really don’t know how many brain cells will die if this happens.

On the Wei family's side, relatives, business partners and the like were all taken care of by his parents, and Wei Xuefeng was only responsible for compiling a list of guests to be invited to from childhood, friends and classmates.

After sorting out the list and confirming that there was no omission, Wei Xuefeng began to call the people on the guest list one by one with a smile on his face. The first call he made was to his college classmate Wang Wenjie.

As soon as the call was connected, Wei Xuefeng said straight to the point with a smile: "Mr. Wang, my wedding date has been set. It will be on New Year's Day as I told you before. You must make time to attend my wedding then!"

Wang Wenjie was surprised and said, "Fuck, you're really fast. I'm almost done with the things I have on hand. Can you introduce me to the matchmaker? I'll ask him to be my matchmaker and see if we can find the right one!"

Wei Xuefeng laughed and said, "Of course there is no problem with introducing you. You have found the right person to ask Master Jiang to be your matchmaker. Just let me know when you want to come and ask for a matchmaker."

Wang Wenjie made a prompt decision and said, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's do it tomorrow. Tell me how you went to ask for a matchmaker and what kind of gifts you need to prepare, so that I won't be rude later."

Wei Xuefeng said: "All the gifts for matchmaking were prepared by my father. They included ten bottles of Moutai, ten bottles of Daguoxi, ten boxes of tea... and a cash red envelope of 13,800 yuan. That's about it."

Wang Wenjie said, "I know what you mean when you put it like that. I'll have someone prepare gifts and red envelopes now, and I'll go directly to your place later, and then I'll come to your house to ask for a matchmaker tomorrow."

Wei Xuefeng said: "Okay, I'll arrange a table for you tonight!"

Then, the two chatted for a few minutes and hung up the phone.

…

Wufu Town.

Pang Chunyan is selling fruits on the street. She doesn't have a storefront on the street, so on market days, she uses a three-wheeled cargo motorcycle to pull the fruits to the street and then sells them at any place on the street.

Because she does not open the stall every day and fruits are not easy to preserve, Pang Chunyan only buys a small amount each time, and basically sells them all on market day. Even if she fails to sell all of them occasionally, there won't be much left, so she just takes them home to eat.

On the market days in the towns and villages of Bailiang County, the most popular time is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., after which the market basically disperses.

Therefore, whether the fruit can be sold out depends on this time period.

Today's fruits are fresher and more delicious, so Pang Chunyan bought a little more than usual.

She started selling at 8:30 in the morning and continued until the market was about to close. She had finally sold most of the fruits, with only a few carambolas left.

Thinking that I hadn’t eaten star fruit for a while, I simply closed the stall and prepared to take the remaining star fruits home to eat.

Just as Pang Chunyan was packing her things, a clear voice came over: "Hello, are you Aunt Pang Chunyan?"

Pang Chunyan looked in the direction of the voice and found three young people, two men and one woman, standing in front of her three-wheeled cargo motorcycle, and the young man who asked the questions looked the youngest.

"I am Pang Chunyan. What can I do for you?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Hello, Aunt Pang, my name is Jiang Feng, and I'm from Qinghe Town next door. This is my brother and sister. We came to you this time to be a matchmaker for you. I wonder if you would be able to spare some time to talk to us?"

Pang Chunyan suspected that she had heard it wrongly, and asked in surprise, "Be my matchmaker?"

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Yes, Aunt Pang, don't look at my young age, but I have already made more than a dozen matchmakers in this period of time!"

Pang Chunyan packed up all her things and put them in the car, then shook her head and said, "Matchmaker Jiang, you've found the wrong person. Look, I'm already quite old, how can I still want to get married?"

Jiang Feng said: "Aunt Pang, I have heard about you. You have lived for others in the first half of your life. Now your children have gone out to work and don't need you to take care of them anymore. It's time to think about the rest of your life!

After all, your children cannot stay with you for your whole life. They will form their own families in the future and have their own wives and children to support. The only one who can depend on you and stay with you for the rest of your life is your husband.

So, Aunt Pang, don't refuse outright. Let's find a convenient place to talk. I'll introduce you to the man. If you really don't want to, we won't force you. Is this okay?"

Pang Chunyan glanced at Jiang Feng and praised him, "Now I really believe that you are the matchmaker. You are really good at talking. Well, if you don't mind, come to my aunt's house for a cup of tea and a chat!"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "That's great, our car is parked next to us, Aunt Pang, just lead the way!"

Pang Chunyan nodded and got in the car to lead the way.

Ten minutes later.

While Pang Chunyan was boiling water to make tea, she asked Jiang Feng and his two siblings to sit down.

At this moment, both Jiang Fei and Jiang Xue were full of admiration for their younger brother. No wonder the younger brother could achieve such brilliant results in just three months. His eloquence was really amazing.

If it were them, even if they knew each other's situation, they would not be able to convince Aunt Pang to take them home for tea in such a short time.

While Pang Chunyan was boiling water to make tea, Jiang Feng casually chatted with her about selling fruits, asking her whether it was hard work or not.

After Pang Chunyan had made the tea and brought it over, Jiang Feng began to talk to her about business, saying, "Auntie Pang, the man I'm introducing to you is from our village, 48 years old this year, and like you, he has a son and a daughter, both of whom are already working.

He is well-known in our village for his ability. He does whatever can make money all year round. For example, when it is lychee season, he buys lychees in the village for some bosses and makes a small profit from the difference.

After a lychee season, you can basically earn tens of thousands.

The lychee season is over, and then the longan season comes. He will repeat the same operation and make another profit from the price difference. After the longan season, there will be a gap in the middle, and he will build houses for others, scrape walls and lay tiles, in short, do everything.

Then, when the Spring Festival is approaching, he will specialize in making ash water dumplings to sell. Since he is down-to-earth and capable, has a good reputation, and has been doing this for so many years and has many customers, he can earn tens of thousands of yuan in the two months before and after the Spring Festival.

In short, after all the hard work, it is no problem to make a few hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands a year."

After Jiang Feng finished speaking, Pang Chunyan basically had a general impression of this man in her mind, that is, he is hardworking, down-to-earth, capable, and someone who can live a good life.

Therefore, she, who originally had little interest in remarriage, could not help but ask, "Matchmaker Jiang, what about his wife?"

Jiang Feng sighed and said, "In fact, he and his wife got along pretty well. It's a pity that his wife had a bad fate. She died of a serious illness a few years ago!"

When Pang Chunyan suddenly realized the truth, she couldn't help but feel sympathy, because her husband also died of a serious illness a few years ago. This man sounded really good, but she was a little hesitant.

After all, she has never thought about remarrying since her husband died. Now that she has such an idea, she wonders whether her son and daughter can accept it.

Jiang Feng observed her expression and knew that she had been persuaded, but she had other concerns in her heart. He immediately understood what she was worried about and asked, "Aunt Pang, are you worried that your children will not agree to remarry?"

Pang Chunyan looked at Jiang Feng in surprise and nodded, "Matchmaker Jiang, you guessed it right. I do have this concern. If they don't agree, I won't marry them no matter how good the person is."

Jiang Feng said confidently: "Aunt Pang, as long as you have this idea, you can leave the problem of your children to me. I will convince them for you and let them happily send you off to marry!"

Pang Chunyan really didn't know where his confidence came from. Even she, as a mother, didn't dare to say such things.

However, seeing Jiang Feng so confident, Pang Chunyan also believed that he was not talking nonsense, so she turned to continue to inquire about other aspects of the man and asked to see some photos and the like.

Jiang Feng also took the trouble to tell her clearly about the man's situation, including some of his shortcomings. Pang Chunyan nodded continuously and really became interested in this marriage.

Seeing that he had said almost everything he needed to say, Jiang Feng stood up and said goodbye, "Aunt Pang, we'll leave first. You can talk to your son and daughter about this situation first and see how they react.

If you can solve the problem yourself, that's great. If you can't, call me and I'll take the time to meet with them and try to convince them. "

Pang Chunyan nodded and said, "Okay, Matchmaker Jiang, I'll talk to them about this later and call you if there's any news!"

"Well, we'll leave first. Goodbye, Aunt Pang!"

From the time they followed my younger brother to visit until they left, Jiang Fei and Jiang Xue treated themselves as invisible people. They didn't say a word, but just secretly learned my younger brother's matchmaking skills.

After reading the conversation between my younger brother and Aunt Pang, both the brother and sister had some understanding in their hearts and understood from which angle they should persuade the other party when acting as a matchmaker.

If they knew nothing about matchmaking before today, now that they have witnessed the matchmaking process of my younger brother with their own eyes, they are no longer as nervous about matchmaking on their own as before, and now they have their own ideas.

However, the only thing that gives them a headache is Aunt Pang's children. If they do not agree with their mother marrying out, how should they convince them?

So, on the way back, Jiang Fei asked this question.

Jiang Feng smiled and pointed out: "Brother, sister, if they don't agree with mother marrying out, then we have to persuade them from the perspective of family affection. As long as we grasp the core of the problem and adapt to the situation, it should not be difficult to solve it."

Jiang Fei and Jiang Xue both listened thoughtfully.

Jiang Feng added: "In fact, children don't want their mothers to marry out. I analyzed it and there are probably three reasons: one is that they are afraid of gossip, the second is that they can't accept their mothers leaving them, and the third is that they are afraid that their mothers will be bullied after marrying out.

As long as we can dispel their concerns, there won't be any major problems!"

Jiang Xue couldn't help but sighed: "Xiao Feng, it seems that your three months as a matchmaker have not been in vain. You can analyze various things in detail. It's really amazing."

Jiang Fei was also filled with emotion. They were born of the same mother, so why were there such big differences?
