Chapter 276 Marry my daughter, and you will be a billionaire at the very least [Happy New Year's Eve to all the big guys]

afternoon.

Guantian Brigade.

Yongfu Village.

Zhu Ying came to the home of her third aunt, the village matchmaker, carrying a bag of candies.

At this time, Aunt San was sitting at the door of her house smoking a hookah.

In later generations, the proportion of women smoking is not high, unless they are women who often hang out in bars, KTVs and other nightclubs.

But in this era, since the area of ​​Bobai is very suitable for growing tobacco leaves, the amount of tobacco planted in Bobai over the past few decades is extremely large. Almost every production team in the county grows it. The result is that almost everyone, young and old, men and women, smokes. Many children in rural areas even learn to smoke at the age of six or seven (the author's mother learned to smoke at the age of seven and did not quit until she was twenty-seven), and their parents don't care.

Of course, even if parents want to control their children, they can’t.

After all, in the 1960s and 1970s, every family in the countryside had several children. In addition, parents were busy working and earning work points all day long and had no time to take care of their children. As long as they made sure the children didn't starve to death, they couldn't take care of anything else.

Therefore, it is not surprising that women of this era smoke hookah.

Zhu Ying came over and greeted, "Third Aunt!"

Aunt Lin San put a cigarette in her pipe and said, "Qinghua's mother, why are you here?"

Zhu Ying smiled and handed over the candy biscuit in her hand, saying, "Aunt San, I came here to ask you a favor."

Aunt Lin has been a matchmaker for 20 to 30 years, and has seen many people like Zhu Ying come with gifts. She took the candy biscuits, put them on the stool next to her, and asked, "Qinghua's mother, it seems that you want to find a wife for your Xiaohua?"

Zhu Ying sat down on the stool opposite Aunt Lin San and nodded, "That's exactly what I meant."

Aunt Lin lit a match, took a few puffs of the cigarette, and then she let go of the pipe and said, "Qinghua's mother, now that your father-in-law has been rehabilitated, the state has arranged jobs for your family of four, so you can say that you have finally gotten what you deserved after all the hardship you've endured. And your Xiaohua is not young anymore, and it's time for her to find a wife. I'll take care of this. I'll definitely help you find a suitable candidate to be your daughter-in-law."

Zhu Ying smiled and said, "Aunt San, this is what happened. Today, in order to say goodbye to the hard times we had in the past, our family went to the Suifeng Hotel for a meal. But when we were paying the bill and going home, my Xiaohua fell in love with the girl who was in charge of collecting the money.

So, I came here this time to ask you, Third Aunt, to help find out if the girl has a husband and what her family situation is like. If it's suitable, please help match my Xiaohua up."

Hearing this, Aunt Lin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Qinghua's mother, your Xiaohua really has good taste. When I was matchmaking for a good owner at Suifeng Hotel last year, I had a meal there. The girl who was in charge of collecting money was really beautiful. I have been to many places as a matchmaker, but I have never seen such a beautiful girl!

At that time, I also asked out of curiosity, but unfortunately she was already married with children, and the Sui Feng Hotel was opened by her father-in-law!"

Zhu Ying was a little disappointed when she heard that, but then she realized that although the girl who was responsible for collecting the money today was pretty, she was not as exaggerated as her Third Aunt said, that she had never seen such a beautiful girl in so many places.

Maybe they are not talking about the same person?

Thinking of this, Zhu Ying raised her question: "Aunt San, I wonder if the person in charge of collecting money has changed? The girl we met today is pretty, but not as pretty as you said!"

Aunt Lin San said with certainty: "Hearing what you said, it must be a change of person, otherwise based on the appearance of that girl, everyone who sees her will praise her for being beautiful."

Zhu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that someone has changed. Otherwise, if they get married, my Xiaohua will have no chance."

Aunt Lin smiled and said, "I happen to be free right now, so I'll go and ask for you."

Zhu Ying said: "Then I'll trouble you, Aunt San."

Aunt Lin San said, "What's the trouble? I'm very familiar with this kind of thing. Then you go back and wait for news. When I find out everything, I'll go to your house and tell you. If this girl is not suitable, I have many girls with good conditions here. I can introduce them to your Xiaohua then."

Zhu Ying stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go back first!"

…

I have to say that Aunt Lin San, the matchmaker, is quite capable.

After Zhu Ying left, she closed the door and walked towards the Suifeng Hotel in the county town.

Guantian Brigade is a brigade near the county town, not far from the county town. It only took Aunt Lin more than half an hour to reach Suifeng Hotel.

Because she had dined at the Suifeng Hotel before, Aunt Lin was familiar with the place. She didn't look around too much from outside and just walked in.

"Welcome!"

Although it was not meal time, as soon as Aunt Lin entered the restaurant, a waiter greeted her with a smile. The service attitude was truly impeccable.

Aunt Lin smiled and nodded to the waiter, saying, "I'm here to look for someone."

As she spoke, she walked towards the cashier counter on the right. She could now see clearly that the girl sitting at the cashier counter was indeed not the pretty girl who was responsible for collecting money when she came to eat last year. This should be the girl that Lin Qinghua had his eyes on.

At this moment, this girl of average looks was holding a book and reading it intently. It was not until Aunt Lin San walked up to her that she raised her head with a sense of awareness.

Aunt Lin San asked in a familiar voice, "Amei, what book are you reading? Why are you so absorbed in it?"

Deng Yunzhen put the book down and said with a smile, "I'm reading Wulin magazine. Auntie, are you alone? What would you like to eat?"

"Sister, I'm not here to eat."

Aunt Lin waved her hand and said with a smile: "I came here specially to see you."

Deng Yunzhen was surprised and asked, "You came here specially to see me? Auntie, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Aunt Lin San asked with a smile on her face: "I want to ask, sister, have you found a husband?"

Deng Yunzhen reacted immediately after hearing this and asked, "Auntie, are you a matchmaker?"

Aunt Lin nodded and said, "Yes, I have been a matchmaker for 20 to 30 years. I have brought together at least 100 to 200 couples. I have a lot of experience. Sister, are you committed to marrying someone? If you are, just ignore what I said. If you are not, then I will help you make some connections."

Deng Yunzhen couldn't help but shook her head and said, "My in-laws haven't agreed yet, but I don't want to get married so early, so I won't bother you, auntie."

Knowing that the other party had not yet been promised a husband, Aunt Lin's eyes lit up and she advised: "Sister, as the saying goes, men should marry when they are old enough and women should marry when they are old enough. Even if you don't want to get married so early, you can still look for a good partner first. It won't be too late to get married when you want to get married."

The commotion here had long attracted Deng Shirong's attention. When he came over, he happened to hear this and couldn't help but say, "A cousin, you are right. No matter whether you are a man or a woman, you have to get married. It would be even better if you can find a marriage partner in advance."

Seeing Deng Shirong answering the call, Aunt Lin asked, "Who are you, cousin?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "I'm her father, why don't you come over there and sit down and talk with me?"

Aunt Lin didn't expect that the other party's father was also there. She had already vaguely guessed the other party's identity in her heart, and nodded and said, "Okay, then cousin, let's chat first."

So the two of them walked to the small table next to them and sat down.

Aunt Lin couldn't help but ask, "A cousin, are you the owner of this restaurant?"

In this era, the self-employed people usually collect the money from their own family members, and will soon ask outsiders to help collect the money. So it was not surprising that the other party could guess his identity. He nodded and admitted, "Yes, I am the owner of this restaurant. Where are you from, cousin?"

Aunt Lin San said, "I'm from Yongfu Village, Guantian Brigade."

Deng Shirong said with a smile: "Cousin, you suddenly came to my house to help my daughter find a date. Did someone ask you to come?"

Aunt Lin nodded and said, "Boss, you guessed right. There is indeed a young man who has taken a fancy to your daughter, so he asked me to come here to inquire about the situation."

Deng Shirong asked three questions in a row: "Where is the other person from? How old is he? What does he do?"

The eldest daughter is already 22 years old this year. Although she has repeatedly expressed that she does not want to get married so early, even if she does not get married, he can start looking for a partner for her. This is why he is willing to talk to the matchmaker in front of him.

"That young man is from our Yongfu Village. He is 23 years old this year and currently works in a bicycle parts factory."

"What is the character of this young man like? And what is the situation of his family?"

"This young man has a good personality and has been an obedient child since childhood. As for his family situation, it is a bit complicated."

At this point, Aunt Lin did not hide anything and simply told Deng Shirong about the situation of Lin Qinghua's grandfather. Finally, she said, "Because of the influence of his grandfather, their family has lived a very hard life in the past ten years. If it weren't for the help of the villagers, it's not certain whether their family can survive!

Until a few days ago, the country rehabilitated his grandfather. I heard that he was posthumously recognized as a martyr, and was given a large sum of funeral expenses and pensions. The country also arranged jobs for their family of four and even helped them build a new house.

Now, he works in a bicycle parts factory, his father works in the Agricultural Machinery Bureau and is said to be a leader, his mother works in a food company, and his sister works in a sugar and tobacco company. The family has completely turned around. "

After hearing this, Deng Shirong roughly knew the situation of the man's family. He was badly cheated by the matchmaker in his previous life, so naturally he would not completely believe the matchmaker's words. He would definitely have to inquire about the other party's situation in person until he met his requirements, and then give him a chance.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

If you can't even get past him, it would be a dream to marry his daughter.

Of course, these words would not be said in front of the matchmaker. Deng Shirong just asked, "A cousin, what is the name of this young man? Do you have his birth date? I will ask a master to calculate it later to see if he and my daughter are destined to be together."

Aunt Lin San said with a smile on her face: "His name is Lin Qinghua. I don't have his birth date, but I can go back and ask his parents. I will send his birth date to you tomorrow."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Okay, I believe in this. If I ask a master to tell the fortune and they are indeed destined to be together, then we can continue our discussion. If not, then forget it. I hope you won't mind, cousin!"

Saying this is just an excuse. Having suffered such a loss in the previous life, when looking for a partner for his children in this life, he must not be blindly convinced. He must investigate again and again to confirm that the other party's family and personal character fully meet his requirements before giving them a chance.

Especially when it comes to choosing a son-in-law, one must be extremely careful. After all, after marrying his daughter, the man will be guaranteed to be a billionaire. If something goes wrong, it would be too easy for the other party.

Aunt Lin San didn't know that this was an excuse made by the other party, so she agreed with a smile and then asked, "Cousin, can you tell me about your daughter's situation?"

Deng Shirong briefly introduced: "My daughter is 22 years old this year, graduated from junior high school, filial, and has a good personality. You have seen her. As for the detailed information, I will ask a master to calculate it first. If there is no fate, it will be useless to say more."

Aunt Lin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back first. I'll send the man's birth date and horoscope to you tomorrow. We can talk again after you have it calculated by a master."

Deng Shirong said politely: "Cousin, since you are here, why don't you stay and have a meal before leaving!"

Although Aunt Lin was tempted, she still had principles. She would not take advantage of such an opportunity, so she shook her head and declined, "Thank you, cousin, but I have something else to do later, so I'll leave first. If they are destined to be together, I will be able to eat this meal sooner or later."

The two exchanged a few polite words and then Aunt Lin said goodbye and left.

Then, Deng Yunzhen came over and said helplessly, "Dad, didn't I say a long time ago that I wanted to stay at home for a few more years and didn't want to get married so early? Why are you still chatting with this matchmaker? Do you want me to get married so badly?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "It's not a conflict. I'm just helping you look for someone. If you meet someone suitable, you can look around first and decide whether to get married later. Anyway, there's no rule that says you have to get married right away once you're dating. It's okay to observe for two or three years before getting married."

In later generations, there are many people who date for ten years before getting married. In this era, it is certainly not that exaggerated, but it is okay to try it out for two or three years.

Hearing this, Deng Yunzhen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good, I thought you were in a hurry to marry me off!"

Deng Shirong said: "I am only providing you with the candidates I think are suitable, but your marriage still depends on your own satisfaction. There is no rush, we can just take our time to find one."

Deng Yunzhen said, "If that's the case, then let's wait a few more years before looking for someone. I can wait, but the man may not be able to wait, because I can't be sure. I can just observe him for two or three years. If it works out, it's fine. If not, wouldn't it be a bit unfair to him?"

Deng Shirong said: "If the other party can pass my test, I will let you observe for two or three years. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, I will not treat him unfairly and will definitely give him some compensation. So you don't have to worry about this. If there is a suitable one, just date him first, and decide whether to get married after he passes your test."

Deng Yunzhen nodded and said, "Okay, I understand!"

She has already felt her father's attention to her marriage. Although the country advocates free love between men and women in this era, marriages in rural areas are still basically decided by parents. She is really happy that her father can respect her opinion on marriage and let her make her own decision.

…

Aunt Lin San did not go home, but went directly to Lin Zhenxing's house.

Seeing Third Aunt Lin, Zhu Ying asked her to sit down, handed her a pipe, and then asked impatiently, "Third Aunt, have you found out? Has the girl been promised to a husband?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhenxing, Lin Qinghua, and Lin Zhengfang all looked at Aunt Lin.

Aunt Lin San took the pipe and said as she took out some tobacco and matches, "I found out that the girl hasn't been promised to a husband yet."

Lin Qinghua's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this. This was the first time in his life that he met a girl he liked. What he feared most was hearing that the other party was married or already had a partner. Now that it was confirmed that the other party was still single, he had a chance. This was really good news.

Zhu Ying was equally happy and asked, "Aunt San, have you found out about this girl's situation?"

Aunt Lin San took a handful of tobacco and put it into the pipe mouth, saying: "The girl is the daughter of the owner of Suifeng Hotel. She is 22 years old this year and graduated from junior high school. I haven't found out the rest for the time being, because I talked to the hotel owner and he believes in fortune-telling. So he wants to take Xiaohua's name and birth date to ask a fortune-teller to calculate whether there is a fate between him and his daughter.

If there is a destiny, then we can continue the conversation. If there is no destiny..."

She didn't say much next, but the Lin family members all understood what it meant to have no fate.

Lin Qinghua didn't know whether to be surprised or disappointed. It was too hasty to let a fortune teller decide the matter of marriage. However, the other party's identity was indeed not simple. She was really the daughter of the owner of Suifeng Hotel.

As the largest and most upscale hotel in Bobai County, the wealth of the owner of Suifeng Hotel may be beyond their imagination. Even though their family is no longer what it used to be and their status and position have undergone tremendous changes, they should have an advantage over businessmen.

However, that only targets people who run small businesses, such as setting up stalls to sell noodles, peanuts and melon seeds, needles and thread, eggs and duck eggs, etc.

Facing these small vendors, people like them who have formal jobs naturally have an advantage, but facing a businessman of the level of the big boss of Suifeng Hotel, it is completely different. It is hard to say whether the other party will look down on him...

Zhu Ying had nothing to say after hearing this. Many people of their generation believed in fortune-telling. Even though there had been such a thing before, this kind of thing had been passed down for thousands of years, and it was not so easy to completely change everyone's mind.

This is also the reason why all kinds of traditional things quickly became popular again after the trend passed.

Zhu Ying sighed and said, "Since they believe this, there is nothing we can do. We can only wait for news from them!"

Aunt Lin lit a match, took a few puffs of her cigarette, and then said, "Write Xiaohua's birth date and time for me, and I'll give it to them tomorrow. If they are destined to be together, I'll follow up and definitely arrange the marriage.

If we are not destined to be together, I will find other suitable girls for Xiaohua. They are all good girls and will definitely not let you down."

Zhu Ying nodded and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you, Auntie!"

Next, Aunt Lin smoked a few more cigarettes before taking the straw paper with Lin Qingsheng's birth date and horoscope written on it home.

After Aunt Lin left, Zhu Ying looked at his son and said, "Xiaohua, you heard it too. The owner of Suifeng Hotel believes in fate. It's up to the fortune teller to decide whether you and his daughter are destined to be together. If you are destined to be together, that's good. If not, don't force it. There are many good girls in the world. We can just find someone else."

Lin Qinghua nodded and said, "Mom, I understand!"

Although he fell in love with the girl at first sight, they had not had much contact after all, and it was not to the point where he could not let go of her completely.
