Chapter 47 How many energetic young men don't want to get married?

After returning from Dai Chunqing's home in Duodong, Deng Shirong went directly to Deng Changwang's home.

At this time, Deng Changwang was weaving chicken coops and duck cages at the door of his house. Although the chickens and ducks he raised would not be suitable for sale until the end of the year, he had to weave the chicken coops and duck cages now when the fields were not busy, so as to avoid having them when he needed them.

Deng Shirong greeted him, "Changwang, are you weaving a chicken coop?"

Deng Changwang raised his head, nodded and smiled: "Yes, Jiugong, where are you going?"

Deng Shirong came to the stool in front of him and sat down, saying, "I didn't go anywhere. I came here specifically to see you."

Deng Changwang was a little surprised when he heard this and said, "Jiu Gong, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Deng Shirong did not answer but asked: "If I remember correctly, you are 22 years old this year, right?"

Deng Changwang hummed and said, "Indeed, I am 22 years old."

Deng Shirong said, "You are not young anymore. I saw a pretty good girl at the food station today. I think she is a good match for you. If you want to get married, I will help you find a wife."

Deng Changwang didn't expect that Jiugong was here to act as a matchmaker for him.

But it's not surprising when you think about it. The whole village has already known the news that Jiugong has changed his career to become a matchmaker. Deng Changfu is still a newlywed. The loving appearance of the young couple has made countless people envious.

Although Deng Changmei has not yet married, she has already seen the family and is just waiting for the production team to divide the mountains so that they can register for marriage.

And the two of them were brought together by Jiugong.

Therefore, when Deng Changwang heard Jiugong said he wanted to be a matchmaker for him, he was still somewhat moved.

After all, young men in their twenties are full of energy and often have to get up in the middle of the night to change their underwear. How many of them don't want to get married? Deng Changwang put the half-woven chicken coop aside, and while holding the pipe for Jiugong, he laughed and said, "Jiugong, which young man doesn't want to get married? Tell me about this girl's situation. If she is suitable, help me match her up."

Deng Shirong took the pipe, took out the wrapped tobacco and matches from his pocket, and said, "Where are your parents? Call them out and let us listen together."

Deng Changwang said, "My dad is out repairing the ridges, and my mom just went to the vegetable field to pick vegetables. I'll go call her."

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Well, go ahead. I'll light two cigarettes first."

After saying that, he tore a small handful of tobacco from a pack and stuffed it into the mouthpiece. He struck a match, put his mouth close to the pipe, lit the tobacco and started puffing.

Now every household’s private plot is not far away. After Deng Shirong smoked a few cigarettes, Deng Changwang called his mother back.

"Uncle Jiu." As soon as Changwang's mother came back, she greeted Deng Shirong.

Deng Shirong hummed, then went straight to the point: "The girl I want to introduce to Changwang is from Duodong Village, Hanhe Brigade. She is 20 years old this year, about 1.58 meters tall, and looks pretty. She is good at farming and doing housework.

Although she only had a few years of education, she is not the kind of person who would carry a plow without knowing how to change shoulders. When I chatted with her, I could feel that she is a person with quite a lot of ideas. She is not content with farming, but wants to work hard on breeding. You and Changwang have the same aspirations. "

Deng Changwang was moved when he heard this. Although it has been two years since the reform and opening up, there is still no unified thinking across the country. For many people, breeding is still very risky and most people are unwilling to take the risk.

The dozens of chickens and ducks that Deng Changwang raised this year were also a test for him. If nothing goes wrong and he makes money successfully, he will plan to expand the scale of breeding next year. If he can marry a wife who shares the same ideas as him, it will definitely be helpful for the development of his "career".

After all, the three words "good wife and helpful wife" are not just words.

Deng Shirong continued, "She has five siblings, one older brother, two younger brothers, and one younger sister. None of them have married yet. Also, her family conditions are not very good. If you marry her, the price may be a little higher."

Hearing this, Changwang's mother said with some concern: "Uncle Jiu, everything else is fine, but I'm afraid that after this sister gets married, she will still want to help her parents' family, which will be a huge burden."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "It is inevitable for a married daughter to help her parents' family, but this help is definitely limited. It means taking proper care of her parents' family without affecting her husband's family, rather than blindly helping them. I will definitely make this clear to the other party in advance."

Changwang's mother heaved a sigh of relief and nodded, "We are all reasonable people. If we really become in-laws, we should take proper care of her, as long as she is not the kind of person who wants to move all the good things from her husband's family to her parents' family."

Deng Shirong looked at Deng Changwang and asked, "Changwang, what do you think? If you have no objection, I will arrange for you to meet in Erbawei."

Deng Changwang glanced at his mother and said, "Since you, Jiugong, think we are a good match, I must meet you."

"Changwang's mother, what do you think?"

"Uncle Jiu, let's meet first."

"Okay, then it's settled. We'll meet at Erbawei."

"OK."

After returning from Deng Changwang's home, Deng Shirong couldn't help but sigh when he saw his eldest daughter fetching water for the family's water tank. In that era, not only was there no electricity in Naye Village, but even Shuangwang Market was not officially electrified until 1989. In the days without electricity, if you wanted to use water, you could only fetch water from the well.

Nowadays, there are no manual water-shaking devices in wells. One can only use a hemp rope or a special shoulder pole hook to lower a bucket, use skills to fill the bucket with water, and then lift it up with force.

There is an old well next to Deng Shirong’s old house. The family usually draws water from this well.

Only girls nowadays are used to doing this kind of physical work. If girls from later generations were to fetch water, not to mention that they would not be able to do this kind of work, even if they could, after filling the water tanks at home, their shoulders would probably be so painful that they would not be able to move at night.

Because the blue bricks would not be delivered for another two days, and the foundation of the new house was all made of stone, no one came to help with the work today. For dinner, the family simply had a meal of white porridge and pickles, and that was it.

During this period of time, we eat meat every day at home, and occasionally have a meal of white porridge and pickles to relieve the greasy feeling.

After dinner, when the family sat at the door and chatted, Deng Shirong saw that his eldest daughter's pants had patches on them, so he said, "Ah Zhen, tomorrow is Longtan Market. Take all the cloth coupons that your family has saved over the past two years, and I'll go with you to buy some good cloth to make some clothes."

Deng Yunzhen was stunned when she heard this and said, "Dad, aren't those cloth coupons saved for my future sister-in-law? We're using them now. When my brother finds a wife, how can we have the cloth coupons to make clothes for my sister-in-law?"

Deng Shirong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this. I will find a way when the time comes."

In Deng Yunzhen's mind, her father was omnipotent. Since her father said he had a way, then he must have a way, so she excitedly agreed.

Seeing this, Deng Yunzhu looked at her father eagerly and said, "Dad, I want to go to Longtan Market, too."

Although it was a bit difficult to carry two people on a bicycle, seeing his little daughter's expectant look, Deng Shirong couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together tomorrow."
