"I'll also bring you my old hen. I've fed it well for two or three years, and it's fat, perfect for making soup."
"Chen Zhiqing, my family didn't finish the meat we got for the New Year, so I asked Wan Zhiqing to make some smoked meat for me. Take it away and let Captain Gu try it."
…………
The team members were talking one after another, and Shen Yunshu, who was sandwiched between them, had no chance to get a word in. She cracked the pumpkin seeds given by Aunt Tao San while listening to their chat, with a smile on her face the whole time.
She has always liked the atmosphere of the Red Flag Brigade, which has a human touch that is not found in the family compound. When she gets old, she wants to take Gu Jiuyan back to the countryside to live a secluded pastoral life.
Seeing that the team members were getting more and more excited, and hundreds of mouths chattering non-stop, Du Shouquan quickly struck the gong at hand.
The clanging sound hit people's heads directly. The noisy team members instantly quieted down and all looked at the captain on the stage.
"I called you here today because I have something important to tell you."
When they heard it was serious business, the team members thought it was another way to make money, so they quickly pricked up their ears, fearing that they would miss something.
Du Shouquan said, "Our commune is going to hold a matchmaking meeting for unmarried youth soon. All the brigades must participate. The girls and boys of marriageable age in our brigades can't miss such a good opportunity. Take this opportunity to bring one home."
The quiet team members became excited again. Some team members who have sons at home are already planning to take advantage of the blind date meeting to pick a good match.
The one organized by the commune must be reliable. If you miss this opportunity, you don’t know when the next one will be.
The team members who have daughters at home are not so enthusiastic. The current situation in the team is completely different from before. Women can also hold up half the sky. The daughters in the family also get dividends at the end of the year, and it is a considerable amount of money. They are not so anxious to marry their daughters off.
Therefore, two extremes emerged in the team. Du Shouquan looked at the listless group and said:
"Those with daughters at home can use the matchmaking conference to pick a live-in husband for their daughters. As long as their household registration is in our Red Flag Brigade, they will also receive dividends at the end of the year. With their daughters under their own supervision, they don't have to worry about them being bullied by their in-laws."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience fell silent. Du Guoqiang, who had three daughters at home, asked tremblingly:
"Captain, is this possible? Will the man's family agree?"
He and his wife have only three daughters. Now the eldest and second daughters are of marriageable age, and they want to find a son-in-law for them.
But when the matchmaker heard about the live-in son-in-law, she turned around and left. There were also some people who wanted to be their son-in-law, but they were ugly and old. Not only were the two girls not compatible with each other, but even their parents didn't like them.
Right now, the commune is organizing a blind date meeting, and the young people who can come must be particularly outstanding. Du Guoqiang has some ideas in his mind.
Other people in the team shared the same idea as Du Guoqiang.
"If you don't believe me, you must believe Shen Zhiqing. This will definitely work. Our brigade is now the richest brigade in the commune. Young men and women from other brigades are vying for marriage to our brigade.
The live-in son-in-law I'm talking about is someone whose household registration is transferred to our brigade and who will live and work in our brigade. You two families can discuss which surname the child will take."
Shen Yunshu added: "Everyone can see the current situation of our brigade. In the future, we will form our own industrial chain and export our brigade's products to various parts of China.
So, don’t be timid or afraid. The captain and I are your support. At the blind date meeting in two days, everyone should keep their eyes open.
Especially the young ladies in our brigade, be picky when it comes to men. We don’t want ugly, short, or sickly-looking men. We want to find men with good character, few in-laws, and harmonious relationships with their sisters-in-law…”
The little girls were shy and lowered their heads shyly, with the tips of their ears slightly red, but they all had their own ideas in their minds.
Life in their parents' home is so comfortable that they don't want to marry out. If possible, they also want to choose a son-in-law to live with them.
A rough male voice rang out from the crowd: "Shen Zhiqing, what about us? What should we pay attention to when looking for a wife?"
Shen Yunshu said: "When the young men in our team look for a wife, they can't just look at her face. They also have to consider her family and whether her parents are reasonable. They absolutely cannot marry a demon who is obsessed with her brother."
"What is Voldemort? I've never heard of it."
"A brother-in-law is someone who hollows out the husband's family and fills up the gap with younger brothers from his mother's family. He's like a blood-sucking worm, sucking the blood of the husband's family." Shen Yunshu glanced at the shy little girls present and continued, "The girls in our team are the same. The man they find can be filial, but he can't be too foolishly filial. He listens to his parents in everything and has no opinions of his own."
The older men in the team felt that Shen Yunshu was right, and the young men and women seemed to be thinking deeply after listening to him.
At this point, the team members no longer had any objections to the blind date meeting. Du Shouquan thought that he still had to work tomorrow morning, so he let the team members disperse.
Wang Sansao's family has a daughter, and now her daughter is old enough that if she doesn't get married, she will become an old maid. She originally wanted to find a matchmaker to help her find a husband this year, but after listening to the speeches of Du Shouquan and Shen Yunshu, she suddenly changed her mind.
She wanted to find a live-in son-in-law for her daughter. After her daughter got married, she would build two houses for her and let her daughter and son-in-law move in.
So she grabbed Shen Yunshu who was about to go home to sleep and said with a smile:
"Chen Zhiqing, you gave birth to six sons in one pregnancy. You are a blessed person. At the matchmaking meeting in two days, you must carefully screen Cheng Ying for me."
Wang Chengying was a quiet and pretty girl, and she was also very good at her job. Shen Yunshu liked her very much, so he agreed immediately.
When the other team members saw that Shen Yunshu agreed to help Wang Sansao's daughter, they also pestered Shen Yunshu and asked her to help their own children.
Shen Yunshu agreed immediately.
She is not good at judging people, but there are some people who are.
Shen Yunshu went home surrounded by the enthusiasm of her teammates. After arriving home, she simply washed up and went to bed.
Shen Yunshu, who was soundly sleeping, seemed to have forgotten one thing, which was to call home to report that he was safe.
Gu Jiuyan, who was far away in Beijing, was lying alone on the two-meter-wide bed, unable to sleep.
The heartless boy would probably have forgotten him long ago when he got to the countryside.
When she comes back, I will definitely teach her a lesson.
The next morning, Shen Yunshu woke up from her sleep and remembered that she wanted to call her family to report her safety.
