As soon as Du Jiang left, Tianniu, as a good sister, put down the stick in her hand and turned to look at Du Yingying, who was sitting on the bed in a depressed mood, "Yingying, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Du Yingying shook her head. "It's not that I'm unhappy. You're saying this Du Zhizhi is lying to me. I just asked her if that female colleague said anything, and she answered so quickly that it was obvious she didn't think about it. I suspect she's lying to me. That female colleague seems very smart, so there's no way she wouldn't say anything when she goes back."
"Isn't it a good thing not to tell?" Now it was Tianniu's turn to be puzzled. "If you tell, won't it affect your reputation? Besides, Du Jiang is not that kind of person. Although I haven't worked with her for a long time, she doesn't look like a liar at first glance."
"Who's lying so clearly? You're just too naive." Du Yingying curled her lips. "The jar is almost full, why does it taste so weird?"
"There's nothing I can do. Besides the pig feed, I also brought some wheat bran this morning. I guess the taste is a little weird when mixed together." Since they grew up together and had a special friendship, Tianniu was especially considerate of Du Yingying. She stirred the pig feed again, and when she felt it was almost done, she turned off the fire. Then she took out a wooden man from her pocket and threw it to Du Yingying before she started to scoop the pig feed into the wooden barrel.
When Tianniu finished feeding and went into the house, Du Yingying was still studying the wooden man, and it looked as if she wanted to stare through it.
Seeing this, Tianniu dusted off her hands and walked over to sit next to Du Yingying, but kept a certain distance from her because she knew Du Yingying had a keen nose and was very sensitive to smells. Sure enough, as soon as she sat down, Du Yingying covered her mouth and nose, leaving Tianniu in a state of confusion. "If you hate this smell so much, why did your father send you here?"
"It's all for the elementary school teaching qualification," Du Yingying didn't want to come to work. Her mother doted on her, but she couldn't stand the ruthlessness of Village Chief Du. "Just hold on for another month, and it will be enough. What are your plans? I think Du Jiang can handle feeding the pigs by himself. Why do you have to get involved?"
"Hey, isn't this to allow that Li Hongjun to marry into the family?"
Hearing this, Du Yingying put on a serious face, "Are you sure? They are outsiders. If the policy changes in the future, they will have to leave. Are you really willing to let them go?"
Unexpectedly, the sweet girl was very open-minded. "What I value is his status as an outsider. Otherwise, if a local woman marries into his wife's family, you'll see that every family has a bad relationship with the couple behind them. If he leaves one day, I'll have less worries. After all, I won't be able to take the child with me. My brother can't be relied on, and I'll be responsible for my parents in the future. So after comparing, he's the most suitable."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Du Yingying, she stopped trying to persuade her. "It's okay as long as you know what's going on. But you still keep this wooden man. Do you really believe that there are matchmakers in this world?"
Tianniu smiled without saying anything, but just pointed at the wooden man's face and asked Du Yingying to look carefully.
Du Yingying lowered her head and looked again at the place where Tianniu pointed. Looking at the familiar face on the wooden man, she turned her head to look at Tianniu in disbelief, then quickly lowered her eyes and continued to observe. After a while, Du Yingying's face was full of horror. Although the wooden man was just a piece of casually carved wood that was already some years old, the outline on it was somewhat similar to that of Du Jiang when you look closely. This... How could Du Yingying not be shocked.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know," the sweet girl took the figurine from Du Yingying's hand, "This is something my grandma left behind. Do you remember the play we listened to when we were little? It seemed to be called The Romance of the Western Chamber. It's been so many years that I can't remember the specific plot anymore, but I still remember the characters very clearly. After all, there's someone with the same name as you. So, Yingying, I think Du Jiang is the matchmaker sent by heaven to help me find a suitable candidate for my son-in-law."
Du Yingying wanted to refute this far-fetched explanation, but she swallowed it back when she saw the villain's face. It was really impossible to refute such an ordinary face. Moreover, whether it was Tianniu's matter or her own matter, they were the ones who took the initiative to come to her.
"But I still think it's unreliable. There are so many people in this world who look alike. You can't think Du Jiang is good just because she looks like this wooden man. After all, marriage is a big deal and you can't mess around with it."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. I just felt like the wooden man suddenly came alive. You know, when I first saw Du Jiang, I was so surprised that I couldn't speak. Fortunately, she was alone with her luggage in the back of the ox cart, otherwise I would have been exposed." The sweet girl stroked the wooden man's cheek and then carefully put it in her pocket. "Okay, let's not talk about this matter anymore. It's okay as long as you and I know it. After all, if it's through Hongniang's hands, I'm afraid our marriage will be very good, just like Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng. Although I don't care whether Li Hongjun stays or leaves in the future, if he can stay, my parents will be less sad."
"Yes, all parents want is for their children to be healthy and have a happy marriage." Perhaps she was thinking of something, Du Yingying sighed, "Forget it, no matter if she is a real matchmaker or not, I will take care of her based on this face."
"That's great. With you, the village chief's daughter, taking care of him, Du Jiang won't have to worry about his life anymore." Tianniu was happy for Du Jiang from the bottom of her heart.
"Crack"
The wooden door of the yard was pushed open by Du Jiang from the outside. Du Jiang, carrying two buckets of water, staggered into the house. Looking at the two people sitting on the bed and chatting, Du Jiang was not surprised at all. He immediately poured the water into the bucket and went back to fetch water again.
It took two trips to fill the water tank. Du Jiang, exhausted and out of breath, sat on the door frame to rest.
"Du Jiang, are you really from the city? Why are you so rude?" Du Yingying walked out with a frown, looking at Du Jiang's actions, feeling very disgusted.
Du Jiang rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, "Sister Yingying, go fetch four buckets of water and you'll know."
"you...."
"Alright, alright, we're all good sisters." Seeing the two of them about to start arguing, Tianniu quickly came out and tried to persuade them, "Du Jiang, you've been through so much trouble. Yingying will be going to elementary school next month. You'll have to make do with her. I'll give you all the centimeters this month, all of them."
Sweet girl said all the good and bad words, and Du Yingying did not object to the centimeters she mentioned. Seeing this, Du Jiang did not know what to say. "Okay, but I can't do the work alone. You still have to do what you should do." As for Du Yingying, Du Jiang just pretended that she didn't exist.
Du Jiang's attitude was quite tough. Tianniu smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, no problem." As for Du Yingying, it was all thanks to her hands holding her tightly.
After the matter was settled, Tianniang never mentioned Hongniang again. She also realized that Du Jiang's personality had nothing to do with Hongniang in the opera. Her temper was as bad as a stone in the toilet. She was nowhere near as gentle and lovely as Hongniang.
