"What's going on? Why did he go to find Jianshe? What urgent matter could it be that he's even ignoring these pigs?"
Sheng Xiping's departure left Sheng Liancheng and his wife completely bewildered. They had been chatting just moments before, so why did he suddenly leave?
"I don't know. Weren't you two just talking about Cousin Li Xue? Has he thought of someone suitable?"
Sheng Liancheng was also confused, but based on what the mother and daughter had just said, it was very likely that Sheng Xiping had thought of a suitable candidate and went to inquire about them.
“The right person? Who?” Zhang Shuzhen was taken aback.
Then he remembered that several of his son's friends were still single.
"Oh dear, is our son planning to become a matchmaker? What young man does that? People will laugh at us if word gets out."
Historically, matchmaking and escorting boats have always been women's work, and most of them are women in their forties or fifties who love doing this job the most.
I've never heard of a young man in his early twenties acting as a matchmaker for someone else.
"Forget it, our son is gone, nothing you say will make a difference."
Anyway, of his friends, only Weiguo, Junzi, and Fusheng are still single.
These are all good companies. The young man is reliable and hardworking, and his family background is also good. It doesn't matter which company our son introduces him to, it will be fine.
In Sheng Liancheng's mind, all the young men in Qianchuan Forest Farm were excellent, and no matter where the girl came from, she was guaranteed to be a good match.
Zhang Shuzhen rolled her eyes at her husband and sighed.
"You make it sound so easy. Matchmaking and escorting have never been easy jobs since ancient times."
As people used to say, "The bride is brought into the house, and the matchmaker is thrown over the wall."
If a couple gets along well, it's not the matchmaker's fault; but if they fight, the first person they blame is the matchmaker.
This man thinks things are too simple. Acting as a matchmaker is not such a simple matter.
"When Xiping introduces potential partners to his friends, if the young couple is doing well, everything is fine. But if they're not doing well, they might not even be able to remain friends in the future."
Zhang Shuzhen sighed, saying that her eldest son was still too impulsive and lacked consideration in his actions.
The couple chatted as they worked, while Sheng Xiping dashed off to Wang Jianshe's house.
"Jianshe, Jianshe, I need to talk to you." Sheng Xiping called out as soon as he entered the Wang family's courtyard.
Around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, just as they were preparing to cook, Chen Xiuzhi and her daughter-in-law Li Xue were in the kitchen when they heard a noise and peeked out to see what was going on.
"Xiping? Oh, what brings you here?"
When Chen Xiuzhi saw Sheng Xiping, she was quite puzzled. She had just returned from the Sheng family, so why had Sheng Xiping come over again?
"Auntie, is Jianshe home? I need to talk to him."
When Sheng Xiping saw Chen Xiuzhi, he nodded in greeting and walked into the house.
"He's here, chatting with his dad in the east room," Chen Xiuzhi said, pointing to the east room.
Just then, Wang Jianshe heard the noise inside the house and opened the door to come out.
"Xiping, you've come at the right time. I heard you went hunting in the mountains, and I was just thinking of coming to find you tonight."
I sold the bear bile for less than six hundred yuan. Here's the money and the bills.
As soon as Wang Jianshe saw Sheng Xiping, he immediately took money out of his pocket.
"Don't worry about the money. Keep it with you for now. We'll get Haining and Weiguo together tonight and then we can split the money."
The money is with Wang Jianshe; it's not going to run away. What's the rush?
“Jianshe, I didn’t come here for the money division. I have something else to discuss with you.” Sheng Xiping waved his hand.
"My mom said that Li Xue's cousin wants to find a husband in our forest farm?"
With dinner time approaching and several pigs still waiting to be dealt with, Sheng Xiping had no time for idle chatter, so he got straight to the point.
"Yes, Zhao Juan is eighteen years old this year. She's quite pretty and works very well too."
A pair of scissors on the kang (heated brick bed), a spatula on the stove—you can pick up and put down anything.
It's a pity that there's so little land in their hometown and so many people in their family, so they really don't have a good life.
There's no other way but to marry off our daughter as soon as possible, so there'll be one less person to feed in the family.
Wang Jianshe was taken aback when he heard this, but then he understood and briefly explained the situation of his cousin Li Xue.
"Xiping, why are you in such a hurry to come? Are you trying to find a wife for your second son?"
Over there, Wang Baoshun, Wang Jianshe's father, chimed in with a smile.
“Grandpa, my second son is only eighteen. Why is he in such a hurry to get married?” Sheng Xiping laughed when he heard this.
"I was thinking of helping Wei Guo make a connection."
When Sheng Xiping was at home, the first person he thought of when his mother mentioned this was Chen Weiguo.
The marriage between Chen Weiguo and Liu Hongxia has been dragging on for a year or two, and they still haven't settled on anything.
Moreover, the conditions proposed by the Liu family indicate that they are not genuinely interested in marriage.
None of Sheng Xiping's friends had a good opinion of the Liu family.
It's because Chen Weiguo can't let go of Liu Hongxia that the Chen family is now in trouble. Weimin almost hanged himself because he was disliked by his future sister-in-law's family.
In their past life, Wang Jianshe and Li Xue didn't get together for some reason, so naturally, there was no such thing as Li Xue's cousin getting married.
So Sheng Xiping didn't know at the moment which family Li Xue's cousin would marry.
In Sheng Xiping's opinion, Li Xue and Chen Weiguo were quite a good match, which is why he abandoned his work at home and rushed to find Wang Jianshe.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jianshe gasped, "Xiping, we need to think this through."
If it goes well, it will be considered a good match; if it goes badly, we'll both get scolded.
