Chapter 15 The Matchmaker Arrives

Upon hearing Deng Shirong's answer, the eyes of Deng Yunjin and his family all lit up.

Deng Yunjin asked quickly, "Uncle Jiu, where is this leader you are talking about from?"

Deng Shirong briefly introduced him: "He is from Baiping Battalion Leader Tian Village. His name is Zhang Kangmei. He is one year older than your sister. He is the eldest son in the family and the grandson most favored by his grandfather. Three generations of his family are carpenters. His family conditions are among the best in the village."

After hearing this, Deng Yunjin and his family were really moved.

In this day and age, having a skill is very popular.

After becoming interested, Deng Yunjin and his wife asked about the other party's situation in detail.

Deng Shirong knew everything about this. In his previous life, Zhang Kangmei was a big boss with a net worth of tens of millions. Every time he went back to his wife's hometown with his wife, he was extremely glorious. It can be said that the entire Naye Village basically knew his name. Deng Shirong also knew exactly how he made his fortune.

After chatting for a few minutes, Deng Shirong had said almost everything he needed to say, and then he concluded, "This is his basic situation. If you think it's okay, I'll help your sister find a partner."

Deng Yunjin glanced at his wife, then nodded to Deng Shirong and said, "Okay, I believe in your judgment of people, Uncle Jiu. I'll trouble you to help me make the connection."

"I believe I won't be wrong. In a few years, you will know how good the man I found for your younger sister is." At this point, Deng Shirong glanced into the house and asked, "By the way, where is your younger sister? Is she not at home?"

Deng Yunjin's wife said, "She went to the river with her sister-in-law to wash clothes. She should be back soon. Ah Er, go and call Ximei back."

Deng Changquan responded and walked quickly towards the river.

Deng Shirong continued, "The young man I'm introducing to you has a sharp mind and will definitely have a bright future. And if this marriage goes through, with a carpenter son-in-law, you'll have a place to put your boxes, cabinets, tables, chairs, and more!"

Although the marriage had not even started yet, Deng Yunjin and his wife couldn't help but smile when they heard Uncle Jiu say that.

Nowadays, boxes and cabinets are really like luxury goods for a family. The most obvious example is that there is a family in the neighboring Jimapo Village who married three daughters-in-law with just a box. The role of the box is really huge.

As a matchmaker, he had to speak well of the man in the woman's family, and speak well of the woman in the man's family. Zhang Kangmei was originally quite outstanding, so Deng Shirong had no psychological burden at all when praising her.

Hearing Deng Yunjin and his wife nodding continuously, the satisfaction on their faces became more and more intense.

Soon, Deng Yunjin's youngest daughter Deng Changmei came back with her second brother. When she greeted Deng Shirong, she blushed a little, obviously knowing that Jiugong came to help her with matchmaking.

Although marriages in this era are still basically decided by parents, Deng Shirong still briefly introduced the man to Deng Changmei, and then said: "If you have no objection, I will borrow a car to go to Changtian and ask the man if he wants to arrange a matchmaking."

Deng Changmei glanced at her parents and said, "Jiu Gong, I will listen to my parents."

Deng Shirong smiled and nodded, then stood up and said, "I understand. Without further ado, I will go borrow a car and leave. You guys wait for my good news."

…

While Deng Shirong borrowed a car to go to Changtian for matchmaking, Deng Yuntai also came to a low mountain far away from home with his childhood friend Deng Changyuan.

Deng Changyuan wore a straw hat and held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth. He said listlessly in the sunshine, "Atai, we had endless work to do every day before. We rarely had a break these two days. You dragged me out to climb the mountain and burn hornet nests. Aren't you tired?"

Deng Yuntai, who was also wearing a straw hat, scolded with a smile: "You lazy fellow, why is it so tiring to burn a hornet's nest on the mountain? Where is the energy I had chasing pheasants all over the mountain with you two years ago?"

"How can they be the same?" Deng Changyuan rolled his eyes and said, "How can this wasp be compared to a pheasant? Pheasants are so delicious, while wasp pupae can only be used to cook porridge, and the taste is just so-so. If you happen to encounter them outside, it's not a big deal, but I don't think it's necessary to go out and look for them. After all, they are just children's toys."

Deng Yuntai hit the bushes in front of him with a stick and said, "You don't know this, right? Wasp pupae are not only used to make porridge, but also fried with wine, which is a unique way."

Deng Changyuan was surprised and asked, "No way? Bee pupae can be fried and used to make wine? Who told you that?"

Deng Yuntai said, "This is what my father told me. Stop talking nonsense and separate to look for it. If we find a hornet's nest today, you can come to my house tonight to taste the fried bee pupae!"

Hearing what his childhood friend said, Deng Changyuan instantly became excited. In this day and age, nothing is more appealing than delicious food, especially when he hears the word "fried", the feeling is different!

"Okay, then let's split up and look for it. I really want to try what this fried bee pupa tastes like."

"Well, we'll meet up on the hill ahead in a bit. Whoever finds a hornet's nest, please shout."

"Okay, watch me. I'm going to eat the fried bee pupae tonight!"

…

Changtian Village of Baiping Brigade is still a long way from Naye Village of Bangjie Brigade. In addition, the road is quite steep. Even though Deng Shirong rode a bicycle, it took him more than an hour to reach his destination.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In his previous life, Deng Shirong had actually been to Zhang Kangmei's house, but in his memory that was decades ago, and he had long since forgotten where his house was.

Seeing a middle-aged man chopping wood in front of him, Deng Shirong rode his bike up to him and asked, "Cousin, where is Zhang Jiefang's house?"

Zhang Jiefang is Zhang Kangmei's father.

The middle-aged man put down his axe, wiped his sweat with the towel hanging on his shoulder, and then asked, "Where are you from, cousin? What do you want to see Zhang Jiefang for?"

People of this generation still have the necessary vigilance when facing strangers.

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "I am from Naye Village in Bangjie Brigade. I came to Zhang Jiefang to be a matchmaker for his eldest son Zhang Kangmei."

"It turns out it's the matchmaker who came to visit!"

The middle-aged man suddenly realized what was going on, and then pointed the way: "Go forward, turn left at the intersection, and go a few dozen meters forward and there will be a lychee tree. That's Zhang Jiefang's home."

Deng Shirong thanked him and then rode his bike along the route indicated by the middle-aged man.

Soon, a tall lychee tree appeared in front of Deng Shirong. There was a brand new mud brick house there, which must be Zhang Jiefang's home.
