"Alas, there are still more than ten years until I turn sixty. I don't know if things will be the same as they are now. I don't even know if I can live a peaceful and happy life."
"Uncle Captain, if you believe in national policies, things will only get better in the future. By then, maybe you'll move to the city."
"I take walks with Aunt Huilan, do square dancing, and so on. My life is very colorful."
"Girl, can you count or see? Your mouth is like honey, so funny."
"Hehe, I guessed it, Captain uncle. You've watched me grow up since I was a child. How come you only discovered now that I can make people happy?"
"Haha, girl, don't praise you a few times, and you'll be so proud of yourself."
"By the way, Captain, is Aunt Huilan home? Please ask her to take Jinnian to see Matchmaker Lu later."
"Although we are in a free love relationship, in this day and age we still need a matchmaker."
"Otherwise people will gossip about us. We're just asking Aunt Huilan to take Jinnian over as a formality."
"Your Aunt Huilan didn't go to work this afternoon. She was at home doing laundry and tidying up the house. Isn't it time for the autumn harvest?"
"She said to clean up the house properly, otherwise she would be too busy to do it."
"Wait a moment until Zhang Cuihua brings the things over. Comrade Xia will follow me and ask your Aunt Huilan to take him to Matchmaker Lu."
"It won't take much longer. Since you've already confirmed your relationship, it might be better to find a matchmaker sooner rather than later."
"Then you can come in and out together openly and legitimately."
Xia Jinnian: "Then I'll trouble you, Captain Uncle and Aunt Huilan. And Captain Uncle, please call me Jinnian from now on. Calling me Comrade Xia is so awkward."
"Okay then, Jinnian."
Just then, Zhang Cuihua came towards Tang Shiyan with a basket of eggs and a live duck, looking dissatisfied.
Tang Shiyan didn't care about her expression, as long as she got the things.
"Girl Tang, all the eggs are in this basket. Count them yourself and see if there are any bad ones."
Tang Shiyan took the basket, and Xia Jinnian immediately went into the house to get out his own basket. Tang Shiyan thought that Jinnian was quite tactful at this time.
Tang Shiyan looked at the eggs and counted them as she put them into her basket. There were exactly eighty eggs, and not a single one was bad.
She has special abilities and can tell whether the eggs are good or bad at a glance. It seems that Zhang Cuihua is also afraid. If there are any bad eggs, she will have to pay double compensation.
If the compensation is not in place, the three of them will have no choice but to go to the police station for questioning.
The duck must have weighed about four or five pounds. Fortunately, Zhang Cuihua was sensible and knew that Tang Shiyan was not someone to be trifled with.
If I bring a duck weighing two or three pounds, she will probably ask her to go back and get a bigger one.
Tang Shiyan curled her lips and said, "Aunt Zhang, you are very sensible. None of them are bad. This duck is also pretty good. So let's leave it at that."
"I hope next time you won't come to my house for no reason, make a scene, gossip, or destroy my things."
"If it happens again, it won't be solved with just a few dozen eggs and a duck. Also, don't even think about doing anything behind my back."
"I heard the tea at the Public Security Bureau is delicious. I wouldn't mind taking you there to try it. Don't worry, it's free. I won't charge you anything."
Zhang Cuihua could only lower her head and whisper, "I understand. I won't dare to do it again."
"Okay, go back quickly and don't stand here and get in the way."
Zhang Cuihua could only leave with an empty basket, feeling dissatisfied. Even if she was dissatisfied, she had to hold it in.
Who told her not to stay at home and instead come to someone else's house to cause trouble?
After everyone left, Tang Shiyan counted out thirty eggs and put them together in a bag of malted milk. She would ask Jinnian to take them to the team leader's house later.
In addition, he took fifty eggs, a duck, a bag of brown sugar, a bag of malted milk, and a can of canned fruit to Matchmaker Lu's house.
Since we are going to hire a matchmaker, we must be polite and not be too stingy, otherwise we will appear petty.
Tang Shiyan packed the things, took them out and handed them to Xia Jinnian and gave him instructions.
"Jinnian, take the contents of this bag to the captain's house later, and take the contents of the other bag to Matchmaker Lu's house."
"Okay, Yanyan, I understand."
The team leader said: "Girl Tang, please don't take anything from our house. Keep it for yourselves. We have only been eating at your house for a short time."
"If I take more food over now, your Aunt Huilan will scold me again. Besides, there are so many of you eating, and Jinnian's brothers have already supplemented your living expenses."
"You can't treat them badly. If you have any delicious food, you have to save it and cook it for them. Don't just give it away to others, otherwise they will have some bad thoughts."
"Uncle Captain, it's okay. It's just a few eggs. I'll go to town to buy them when the time comes. Don't worry, I won't treat them badly."
"Ah, girl, you really don't know how to save money at all. When you have money to spend on these nice things, you should be frugal. Think about what to do when you don't have it."
"You will marry Jinnian in the future. If you marry into their family then."
"You don't know how to save money and spend money lavishly. What do you think his family will think of you?"
"Uncle Captain, don't worry, I know my limits. I believe Jinnian's family members are not that kind of people."
"Well, I really can't argue with you. I have to go to work, so I'll go back first."
"Okay, Captain, take care. I'll have to trouble Aunt Huilan to take Jinnian to Matchmaker Lu's house."
"Well, Tang girl, don't be so polite with us. Jinnian, let's go."
The captain brought Xia Jinnian to his home and said, "Old woman, put down your work and take Jinnian to Matchmaker Lu's house."
"Got it, old man. What took you so long? Who was the foolish one to cause trouble for Miss Tang?"
"Oh, it's Zhang Cuihua from next door to Tang girl. She came to her house for no reason and made a scene, saying those nasty things and even broke the door."
"She told Jinnian and his brothers to move into their home, and said she would have her two daughters cook for them every day and take good care of them."
"What kind of words are you talking about, Zhang Cuihua? She actually lets her daughter serve a man. Isn't she afraid of being laughed at by others?"
"I think she only cares about their money and looks, and doesn't even consider her own daughter. She just wants to get close to them."
"Don't you think they'd be interested in her daughter? I'm afraid they'd feel sick when they see those two."
"You know how powerful Miss Tang is. When she hears people say those things, she'll hit them. She slapped Zhang Cuihua a few times."
