Jiang Mengxue walked around the building upstairs and downstairs and was very satisfied with the renovation.
There are three rooms and a small living room upstairs.
In addition to a bedroom on the first floor, there was also a small room in the living room, which Jiang Mengxue only remembered to explain later.
Jiang Mengxue thought that if Jiang Mengran came to stay occasionally, she would need a separate room. It would not be convenient for a girl to sleep on the kang in the living room. She was not used to living in a room with someone, and it would be really inconvenient.
There is also a curtain under the stairs, so that a simple bathroom can be made. When needed, just pull open the curtain, and it doesn’t take up space at other times.
When it was time for dinner in the afternoon, Gu Qingbei lit up both kangs, and Jiang Mengxue prepared the dough and stuffing for making dumplings.
It’s the first day two people move into their new home, so they have to celebrate, right?
The smell of other dishes is too strong, so it’s safer to make dumplings.
Dumplings with two kinds of fillings: beef and celery, or pork and green onion.
The two of them wrapped very quickly and finished two curtains in a short while.
When eating, close all the doors and windows tightly, take out the barbecue and beer from the space and enjoy it together.
Moreover, because I drank a little wine, I certainly didn’t just sleep under the quilt at night. Since the holiday was not over yet, I didn’t have to get up early.
The next day, the two of them got up and began to prepare the ingredients. Tomorrow was the day for a banquet. They prepared five tables in total for Gu Qingbei's old comrades, Jiang Mengxue's colleagues, and the neighbors in the yard, which was almost enough. Nowadays, each family usually sends a representative for a banquet, so it was impossible for the neighbors in the yard to occupy one table with their entire family.
The meal was prepared similarly to what he had back home, and Gu Qingbei brought the ingredients back early in the morning.
Because everyone was very busy at work, they decided to meet on the weekend.
In the afternoon, He Dazhong and Tang He came over after get off work to process all the ingredients. The two of them worked together very quickly.
Because the hospital was very busy, colleagues told Jiang Mengxue in advance that they might not be able to make it in time, so Jiang Mengxue asked them to focus on their work.
The steamed buns and corn bread were prepared a day in advance. As they were both experienced in this aspect, Jiang Mengxue did not go forward to make trouble.
Two bicycles were placed at the door, and people in the yard were looking at them with envy as they came and went.
Especially Aunt Cao across the street, it would have been great if she could have introduced Dr. Xiao Jiang to her youngest son at that time.
Not only the two houses opposite, but even Dr. Xiao Jiang's are not theirs. Humph, he looks down on her son. When the time comes, her son will find a father-in-law in the city, who is no better than a father-in-law in the countryside.
Out of sight, out of mind. Aunt Cao put her hands in her sleeves, shook her head and walked out. She was going to find Li Dahua and find a wife for her Feiyang who had a good job, good looks and a good family.
Li Dahua is a famous matchmaker in their neighborhood. Basically, every young man or girl in every family will ask the matchmaker to come forward when they want to get married. Even if you are in a free love relationship, you still have to hire a matchmaker when you get married.
Before she could leave the yard, matchmaker Li came in with a smile on her face, waving a handkerchief.
"Dahua, I was just about to look for you. Did you find someone suitable for my Feiyang? How is it? Are the conditions as I said? If not, we don't want her."
Li Dahua frowned. She had been talking about relatives for so many years, but she had never seen any family ask for so many good things from their father-in-law's family.
Besides, if a girl has a good job, is good-looking, and comes from a good family, she can find a suitable husband. But here you are, with over a dozen people crammed into two small rooms. Just because you don't have a house, no girl in the city would be willing to marry you.
However, Li Dahua can get along well with people here. Smiling at everyone she meets is their professional quality as matchmakers.
"Hey, Aunt Cao, it's impossible for a child to find a suitable partner in just one or two days, especially someone with good conditions like this, so it takes time to find the right one.
I came here today not to see your Feiyang, but to see Dr. Xiao Jiang from your Intermediate Hospital."
Aunt Cao was stunned: "Hey, I'm not saying anything bad about you, Li Dahua, but Dr. Xiao Jiang is already married, why are you still trying to introduce someone to someone? Aren't you afraid that Dr. Xiao Jiang's man will be kicked out by you?"
Li Dahua was speechless and rolled her eyes: "Look at what you said, how could I not know which girls in this area are married? I am not here to matchmake for Doctor Xiao Jiang. Didn't I hear that Doctor Xiao Jiang has a sister? I met her last time I was here. I came here to inquire about the situation. If there is a suitable young man, we can also help to match them up.
Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I'll go in and ask Dr. Xiao Jiang about the situation."
Aunt Cao seemed to have just realized it. Yes, Jiang Mengxue is married, but doesn’t she have a younger sister?
Although he said that he looked down on her, Jiang Mengxue and her husband were among the best in the area. If he could marry Jiang Mengran, then we would all be relatives. His brother-in-law's family were all in the army, so how could their conditions be bad?
While thinking about this, she followed Li Dahua to Jiang Mengxue's house. She had to go and see what was going on and couldn't let others get there first.
In the middle courtyard during the day, the women in the yard were all here helping and chatting. When Li Dahua came in, Jiang Mengxue and everyone else were gathered in a circle picking vegetables.
She also didn't expect that a matchmaker would come to introduce a partner to her younger sister, after all, her younger sister had only come once.
"Xiao Jiang, I'm here to ask what your little sister is looking for in a partner. If there's a suitable one, I'll introduce them to her."
"Aunt Li, my sister has just started working. She can take her time in finding a partner. There's no need to rush."
Originally everyone was just there to watch the fun, but now that it was mentioned that Jiang Mengxue had a younger sister, many people in the yard became excited.
Not to mention anything else, there are several young men in the family who are in their early 20s and about the same age as Jiang Mengran.
In the front yard, there was Shi Jinshan, a single person; in the middle yard, there was Li Baoguo and his wife, who had only one son, Li Qijun; Cao Feiyang, the youngest son of the Cao family, and two sons of the principal wife, the Hu family; Ma Xiangqian, the youngest son of the Ma family; and in the back yard, there were three sons of the principal wife, the Cai family.
It's normal to see that there are quite a few of them. Some are two or three years older than Jiang Mengran, and some are one or two years younger.
In the past, Jiang Mengxue had never thought about the people in the yard. Apart from anything else, the family had a large population, and she was also worried that her sister's personality would cause her to suffer in a large family.
"Aunt Li, next time you see my sister, ask her what she thinks. After all, finding a partner is a lifelong decision, and we as parents can't make the decision for her.
Aunt Li, let's not talk about anything else for now. Our family is simple and easy to get along with. Although we live in the countryside, the conditions in our production team are among the best in the area. Don't worry about needing help from the city after you get married.
We just want to find a simple family, preferably one with fewer siblings, and at least a private room."
