Chapter 175 Matchmaking 2
night.
Zhang Jing was busy packing the gifts to bring back to the village.
Mother Li Daju returned to the village after taking care of her after the baby was born. She couldn't get used to living in the city and insisted on going back to look after the two big fat pigs she raised. Zhao Yi also advised her to enjoy life in the city, but Li Daju insisted that she could still work and it was inconvenient to eat meat in the city. If the family didn't raise big fat pigs, they would have no income all year round.
Unable to persuade Li Daju, he had to stop persuading her.
"Boss, if Xiaoyan gets married, will he be like Laowu and the others and often help deliver meat?"
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi curiously and asked.
What restaurants lack the most now is meat. It seems that all the meat can be sold.
Chenjia Village and Wangou Village are not in the same brigade, but both belong to Linkou Commune. Their village is closer to Hongqi Commune, which is farther away from the county seat. Almost all the brigades under the jurisdiction of the entire commune are in the mountains.
It is much poorer than Linkou Commune.
With the boost from the coal mine, the economy of Linkou Commune improved slightly.
"You can talk to him about this, but I can't guarantee it."
Zhao Yi smiled.
"How much do Lao Wu and his friends make a month?"
Zhang Jing didn’t care about how much money Zhao Laowu and others earned before. No matter how much they earned, it was their hard-earned money.
"On a good month, the couple can make about a hundred yuan. On a bad month, they can make at least sixty yuan."
Zhao Yi thought for a moment and said.
Zhao Yi carefully calculated that they had to collect meat six times a month on average, earning at least six dollars each time, plus fish, shrimp, loaches and other things, an additional income of more than 20 yuan. If they hunted wild boars themselves, they would earn more.
"That's good. We can discuss this with Xiaoyan. What our restaurant lacks is meat anyway."
Zhang Jing said happily.
After packing up the things that needed to be taken back, Zhang Jing led the two little ones to the bus station early in the morning.
Zhao Yi went to the garment factory and school to ask for leave from several people.
Chen Yan set out before dawn and arrived at the entrance of Wangou Village to wait for Zhang Jing's arrival.
"Which village are you from, little comrade? Why haven't I seen you before?"
When Li Dequan saw a stranger at the entrance of the village, he walked up and asked.
"Comrade, I'm from Chenjia Village. I came here today for something. I'm waiting for my sister-in-law who is from your village."
Chen Yan responded quickly.
Now when you go to another village and someone asks you where you are from, it is best to tell the truth. You don’t even know what the person in front of you does. If you are not satisfied with your answer, the militia will tie you up and interrogate you slowly.
Of course, if you say you are begging, basically no one will ask you anything. At most, they will ask you to show a letter of introduction. If the harvest in the village is poor and there is not enough food, the brigade will issue a letter of introduction to allow you to go out and escape the famine for a few months and come back when the harvest is good.
"Who is your sister-in-law?"
Li Dequan asked with a smile.
"Zhang Jing is the one who cooks the pot in Zhao Yi's house."
Chen Yan nodded and responded honestly.
Li Dequan was a little confused for a moment, but he didn't know how many relatives Zhang Jing had. When he heard that it was a relative of Zhao Yi's family, he stopped asking too many questions. Didn't they say that Zhang Jing would come back? He would tell her later if he didn't see her.
Chen Yan didn't know how long he had been waiting at the entrance of the village before Zhang Jing finally arrived on a tractor.
"sister in law."
Chen Yan shouted when he saw Zhang Jing’s face flushed.
When Zhang Jing saw Chen Yan like this, she knew that this kid was a little afraid to go to Zhao Laoshi's house.
"Why are you blushing? You'll have to get married sooner or later."
Zhang Jing led the two little guys off the tractor, and then handed a bag of candy in her hand to Chen Yan. She saw that this kid didn't inform the adults at home, and it was not appropriate for him to come to the house empty-handed for the first time.
Chen Yan was deeply touched. He didn't expect that Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing had considered all these things for him as far as gifts were concerned.
"grandmother."
As soon as the two little guys entered the village, they ran towards Li Daju at the top of their lungs.
"Slow down, slow down. What will happen if you fall down?"
Li Daju hugged the little one with one hand and said happily.
"Who brought you here?"
Only then did Li Daju remember to ask.
"Mother."
After they finished talking, they pointed at the entrance of the village. At this time, Zhang Jing and Chen Yan walked towards the village.
"mom."
Zhang Jing saw Li Daju and shouted.
"Why are you back?"
Li Daju asked.
"Come and help the boy ask, he has taken a fancy to the swallow from Uncle Laoshi's family."
Zhang Jing smiled.
After saying this, Chen Yan's face turned even redder.
When Li Dequan heard this, he immediately understood why this kid was standing at the entrance of the village like a wooden stake so early in the morning.
"You three will come to my house for lunch at noon."
When Wu Lan saw Zhang Jing, she greeted her with a smile.
"Okay, auntie."
Zhang Jing nodded and agreed.
Li Daju was not jealous, because she knew that the two young people got along as well as brothers and sisters in the city, and often went to each other's homes for dinner.
At this time, everyone was ready to go to work.
Just as Zhao Laoshi and his family were about to go out, they saw Zhang Jing, wearing work clothes and leather shoes, appear at the door.
"Why are you here, niece-in-law? Have you had breakfast? If not, I'll make it for you right away."
When Zhao Laoshi's wife saw Zhang Jing, she smiled brightly and took Zhang Jing's arm and walked into the yard.
Zhao Yan, who was preparing to go to work, saw Chen Yan's face turn red. Chen Yan also lowered his head and followed Zhang Jing into the yard.
"Aunt, and Uncle Laoshi, please sit down and listen to me. I came here today for good news, about Yan Zi."
Zhang Jing opened her mouth.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Laoshi knew what was going on. They brought an unfamiliar young man to their house, and he must be here to propose marriage.
"Just tell me what's wrong, niece."
Zhao Laoshi lit the welding smoke and took two puffs before saying this.
"This young man is called Chen Yan, the younger brother of my second sister-in-law. He is smart, hardworking, and smart. He even knows how to set up a bookstall in the commune to earn money. I think Yan Zi is old enough to find a husband, so I want to bring them together."
Zhang Jing said with a smile.
When they heard that someone was setting up a bookstall in the commune, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Laoshi knew what was going on. Their youngest son had even asked them for money to read some comic books at the market the day before yesterday.
However, when they heard about Chenjia Village, Zhao Laoshi and his wife became somewhat unwilling.
There is no comparison between Chenjia Village and Wangou Village. If a girl marries there, her life will definitely be harder and more tiring than at home.
"My niece's wife is in Chenjia Village."
Zhao Yan's mother stopped talking halfway through, and any smart person could tell what she meant.
We look down upon Chenjia Village because it is too poor.
"Aunt, don't worry about this. This boy won't let Yan Zi do any heavy work after marrying her. He just needs to go to the commune to set up a bookstall every day. He can do the work himself."
Zhang Jing said with a smile.
This is what Chen Yan just said to Zhang Jing at the village entrance.
Chenjia Village agreed that Chen Yan could set up a bookstall in the commune every day, but half of the money he earned had to be handed over to the village account.
Hearing this, Zhao Laoshi nodded and thought that this was okay.
"Swallow, what do you think?"
Zhao Yan's mother looked at Zhao Yan and asked.
"I listen to my parents."
Zhao Yan's face flushed red at this time. As a mother, how could she not see that she was attracted to the young man in front of her.
Zhang Jing didn't say that after they got married, she could help Chen Yan get some things to send to the region. What would Zhao Laoshi's family think if this was told? Zhao Yi invited outsiders to look down on them, his relatives.
