Li Cuiying's mouth froze while she was drinking the soup, and the noodles almost spurted out of her nose.
Just talk, why are you setting your sights on her house?
Li Cuiying froze for a moment, and put the bowl down after thinking about how to answer.
She laughed dryly twice: "Auntie, what you said is true. As the second grandmother, how can I have the right to decide for my niece's granddaughter?
She has her own mother to screen her. I heard that there is a suitable young man recently, and the matchmaker is already taking her to meet him."
Li Cuiying only went to act as a matchmaker because she had nothing better to do.
These days, matchmaking isn’t just about bringing two people together.
Later, the two got engaged and married, and a matchmaker was required to go between the two sides to communicate during the engagement ceremony and wedding ceremony.
If you fail to do well in either area, you will be criticized by both sides.
Even if two people are married and have children, if there is any conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or if there is any conflict between the two families of in-laws, they still have to blame you, the matchmaker, for introducing them to a certain family.
No matter what the matter is, as long as it is a conflict between two parties, or if they were introduced by acquaintances, they will come to you if there is any problem.
If she dared to introduce a date to Gu Liuliu, she would be scolded to death by her niece-in-law An Xin.
How many in-laws can get along well with each other? It’s good enough that they don’t quarrel every day because of their two children.
So she would not take on these thankless tasks.
Old Mrs. Tian was not in a hurry to find a wife for her grandson. This was because her youngest son's home was far away and her grandson did not see her every day.
I just want to find out where there are some good girls so I can take my time choosing.
"What kind of job does my niece-in-law do now? Are there any sisters I know who could introduce her to my grandson?"
He is his parents' only son now, and his older brothers and sisters are all married.
The whole family is regular workers and their conditions in the city are not bad.
My grandson is a handsome man, strong and healthy."
Jiang Mengxue didn't know why she was called. She was a little confused for a moment and looked up at Li Cuiying.
Li Cuiying smiled at her. Although there was a smile on her lips, Jiang Mengxue still saw three words in her words: Don't agree, don't agree.
"Grandma Tian, we are all obstetricians and gynecologists. We see pregnant women every day, and there are even few unmarried women in our department.
I've seen plenty of young women and widows, but there are really no unmarried girls in our department." He finished his words so quietly that only the few people at the table could hear.
The old lady was sitting far away and her hearing was not very good to begin with, so she didn't hear the last sentence at all.
"Why is it so hard to find a wife for young girls these days? They all have too big ideas, so it's hard to find a wife."
He sighed and shook his head.
"It's so delicious. I'm full. Let's go home and sleep." The child put down his bowl and chopsticks, squatted down and urinated.
Luckily I was wearing crotchless pants, otherwise I would have peed in my pants.
Jiang Mengxue chewed two mouthfuls of noodles unconsciously, not knowing whether to continue eating or not.
Forget about peeing, but don't poop in the house, otherwise she will vomit out everything she ate tonight.
"Hey kid, tell your wife when you pee. Why are you peeing in your grandmother Cuiying's house?"
Old Mrs. Tian waited until her great-grandson finished peeing, then stood up and slapped his butt a few times.
The child seemed to feel no pain, broke free from the arm and ran out.
"Go home and play with your brother."
Old Mrs. Tian said to Li Cuiying embarrassedly, "Look at this child, he is so straightforward. He eats and poops at the same time. Let me clean it up for you."
Li Cuiying jumped off the kang.
Jiang Mengxue was almost dazzled. Er Niang's skills didn't look like those of a fifty-year-old at all. Her arms and legs seemed much more flexible than hers when she was young.
“Put me down.
Auntie, you go look after Pang Pang, I'll take care of the cleaning."
Then she handed the bowl back and told him to take it and wash it himself. She didn't care. As for the two eggs, she didn't return them either.
She had no idea about drinking a bowl of soup, but the urine had made them lose their appetite, so two eggs could be considered compensation.
Didn’t you see that Xiaoxue couldn’t even drink the soup? She held the bowl and hesitated for a long time without mustering the courage to take a sip.
Before Mrs. Tian could react, Li Cuiying had already supported her all the way back to the front door of her home.
"Old lady, please come into the house slowly. I am going home too."
He carried the bowl into the yard in a daze.
"I haven't finished what I said. If it doesn't work, that colleague of mine will do. The woman is a few years older than me and she's rich. If it doesn't work, I'll go ask her tomorrow." As he thought about it, he took the bowl and went into the kitchen.
After Li Cuiying helped the old lady out.
Gu Zhenjiang stood up and took a few pieces of burnt honeycomb coal from the wall, crushed them and poured them onto the water stains on the ground.
"It's okay, I'll clean it up later and continue eating."
All children are like this. They eat well and then squat down to pee. Most families don’t take it seriously.
Jiang Mengxue felt a little better when there was something covering it.
Otherwise, even if there is no smell, just seeing her will make you feel sick. It's purely psychological.
In less than two minutes, Li Cuiying came back, locked the gate and went into the house.
"Second Mother, the old lady has returned home."
"It's not that bad. I helped her right to the door to prevent her from stumbling around. I'm so considerate."
Jiang Mengxue laughed. She thought she couldn't see that the old lady was being pulled out by Er Niang the whole time. If Er Niang had been a little stronger, she would have picked her up directly.
"Second Mother, are you looking for a matchmaker for her grandson? How old is her grandson? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Twenty-two is not that old, but her youngest son only has one son now. She is afraid that he will find another son-in-law like the eldest son. That's why the old lady is a little anxious."
Jiang Mengxue pondered over this sentence, and felt that there was something familiar about it, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Don't worry, the old lady says these words to everyone she meets. She has talked to all the neighbors nearby before.
But his grandson and his family live in East City, and they rarely come back once a month, so no one cares that much."
Jiang Mengxue nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
After dinner, Li Cuiying went to the kitchen and brought two pots of hot water into the house. She poured some cold water into the foot basin and brought it to Jiang Mengxue and the others' room.
"After you wash up and get on the kang, turn on the lights. If that's not enough, we have flashlights and candles. If you need to write anything, just go to the kang and write on the kang table. It's very cold down there."
Xie Sheng had never received such treatment even at home, so he quickly stepped forward and took the basin from Li Cuiying's hand.
"Second Mother, we can handle these things ourselves. How can we ask you to take care of us like this every day?"
Li Cuiying smiled nonchalantly: "That's nothing. You young people are busy with work, so I just did it for the sake of convenience. Wash it quickly and wait for me to take it out and throw it away later."
After Li Cuiying left, Xie Sheng sat on the kang.
"Xiaoxue, who will teach those women's directors tomorrow?"
Jiang Mengxue was puzzled: "What women's director?"
"The female comrades who came from the brigades under the commune are basically the women's directors of their teams. How could the team members agree if someone else was chosen?"
Jiang Mengxue thought about it and it was true. Coming here to study on behalf of the entire team was a very honorable thing in everyone's eyes.
