"What?" Matchmaker Wang was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard. "He's a young man in his twenties. Girls his age already have children running around the yard. Why wouldn't he marry? Don't you want to have grandchildren?"
"I don't want to marry you, so why do you need a reason?"
"That's right. Everyone else is getting married, but he doesn't. Why is that? Oh, forget it. I'll go ask him."
"He won't marry you even if you ask."
Matchmaker Wang walked into the room again, looking at Jiang Ye with a big smile on her face: "Jiang Ye, boy, I'll find you a very good girl. You can marry her after the engagement."
"I already have a girl I like, so you don't have to say anything, Aunt Wang." Jiang Yeqi answered her.
"What? You have a girl you like? Who is she? Your mother just said you wouldn't get married, and now you have one so soon."
"My mother doesn't know that I like the girl named Zhi, so please don't introduce me to any more girls, Aunt Wang."
Matchmaker Wang was completely stunned. She came to propose marriage to someone with full confidence, but the person she liked was the one she liked again.
"Who is the girl you like then?"
"I don't need to tell Aunt Wang about this. Anyway, I don't need you to be my matchmaker anymore."
Matchmaker Wang thought about it for a while. She couldn't remember which girl in the village was close to Jiang Ye. But she knew that the Jiang family and the Zhang family had the best relationship. Could it be that Zhang Xiaoyan had already been dating Jiang Ye in private and came to her specifically to make things official?
"Really? The Zhang family didn't even tell me. You said you were dating, so you're dating. Wouldn't it be more legitimate with a matchmaker? In my opinion, you and Xiaoyan are the best match in our village. So let's discuss the date for the engagement."
The Jiang family was stunned by this, but they quickly realized what was happening. Mei Xiangcao said, "It seems that you were entrusted by the Zhang family to be a matchmaker for our A Ye."
"Yes, yes, that's right. Jiang Ye and Xiao Yan are together, so there must be a matchmaking process, right?"
Jiang Ye reminded Matchmaker Wang: "Auntie, I'm not familiar with Zhang Xiaoyan, please don't drag me into this relationship with her."
"What? You two aren't familiar with each other?" Matchmaker Wang was surprised again. It seemed she was wrong. The girl Jiang Ye liked wasn't Zhang Xiaoyan at all, so this matchmaking was definitely off. However, she was very curious about which girl Jiang Ye had his eye on. "Jiang Ye, tell me honestly which girl you like so I can broaden my horizons."
Jiang Ye would not say that. After all, this was just his wishful thinking and a shield he used to drive away Wang the matchmaker.
"Auntie, this is my personal privacy, I can't tell you."
Matchmaker Wang sighed, "Forget it, forget it. You already have a sweetheart, so why would I even bother finding a matchmaker for you? I'll just go tell the Zhang family. That." Her gleaming eyes suddenly turned to Jiang Yang again, "Waiter, what about you?"
Jiang Yang was immediately scared away: "I'll beat up anyone you introduce to me!"
Goodness, matchmaker Wang was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
He would beat up whoever she introduced to him. Forget it, this kid was destined to be a bachelor. He couldn't be forced to do so, and no one should be killed over this.
She turned around and found Jiang Ting looking at her with a wary look. She smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. I won't be a matchmaker for you." She was afraid that this would be scared away.
Jiang Ting waved her fist and threatened to beat up anyone who tried to matchmake for her!
Wang Po walked out of the Jiang family's gate and couldn't help muttering.
"The next generation of the Jiang family doesn't really like the opposite sex."
She immediately went to Zhang's house and told the Zhang family the news. Old man Zhang was so angry that he slammed the table.
"He has someone he likes. Who does he like? He can't marry anyone except my Xiaoyan."
Zhang Xiaoyan said, "Grandpa, I told you he and that Xu Zhiqing were having an affair. I asked her today, but she still refused to admit it. It must be her that Brother Jiang Ye was talking about. Humph, vixen! If she hadn't taken the initiative to seduce Brother Jiang Ye, would he have fallen for her?"
Zhang Qi said to Old Man Zhang, "Dad, I think it's useless for a matchmaker to talk about this matter. You have to do it yourself. No matter what Mei Xiangcao does, she has to agree to this marriage because of your friendship with her father."
Mr. Zhang thought about the treasures that Mr. Mei had accumulated. "Things must not fall into the hands of outsiders. I'll go if I want to. I'll risk my reputation. It will make our family live a good life in the future. It's worth it. There are too many people outside during the day, so let's go at night."
In the evening, Xu Nuannuan got off work. Before she even reached the entrance of the educated youth center, a young stranger came towards her.
The man walked up to him and introduced himself.
"Hello, Xu Zhiqing. I'm an educated youth from the brigade next door. My name is Li Chengde, I'm twenty years old, and my hometown is Beijing. I have four siblings, and I'm the third oldest. My parents are all cadres in the factory. Well, it's nice to meet you."
Xu Nuannuan looked at the man who was registering his household registration with her in a daze.
"So, you and I don't know each other, what do you want from me?"
This time it was Li Chengde's turn to be confused. He told Xu Nuannuan in one breath that he was from Beijing and that he was a leader. He also took the initiative to show his goodwill to her, but when he observed Xu Nuannuan's expression, she seemed indifferent.
He smiled awkwardly. "Xu Zhiqing, this is the truth. Don't blame me for being presumptuous. I've also heard about your story and am deeply moved that a female comrade would dare to fight against the evil forces in the village. I admire you very much and appreciate you very much. We are both knowledgeable people of the same generation. I'd like to ask, if you don't mind, can we be friends?"
Xu Nuannuan actually doesn’t mind making more friends, but what she wants to make are friends who truly share the same aspirations as her and have pure hearts.
The person in front of her suddenly rushed over, obviously with some purpose. She didn't want to make friends with such a person.
Moreover, men and women are strictly prohibited from being friends, so the so-called friendship between men and women may be misinterpreted as dating, which is even more impossible.
