Chapter 520: I've Been Single All the Time

Zhai Ying left, then Chen Jing and Li Ting also followed, the two of them purely made way for Ye Lin to make way for Ye Lin to talk to this brother.

"Sit down. ”

"Okay boss. ”

After the brother sat down, Ye Lin poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Say, what are you looking for me?"

"Boss, it's not me looking for you, it's Tan Fei looking for you. ”

"Tan Fei, why didn't he come to me by himself, what was the matter with letting you come over?" Ye Lin frowned.

"Boss, that's the case, Tan Fei introduced him to a partner at home, and he was going on a blind date today, so he wanted the boss to help him refer to it. ”

"Poof!" Hearing this brother's words, Ye Lin directly squirted out the sip of tea that had just been drunk in his mouth.

Fortunately, he turned his head to the side before squirting, otherwise he would have sprayed directly on this brother.

"He went on a blind date, let me refer to a fart!" Ye Lin said with a wry smile.

"Boss, I don't know about this, he asked me to come to you, and I came over. ”

Hearing this brother say this, Ye Lin thought for a while and said, "Okay! Then I'll go over and take a look." ”

"Well, Boss, let's go. ”

"Wait. Ye Lin called this brother, then looked at him and asked, "Tan Fei has gone on a blind date, when will you go on a blind date?"

"Me!" the brother scratched his head and said, "Boss, I'm not in a hurry, let's wait and talk about it!"

Do you want to be single all the time, be single all the time?"

"Uh, boss, what do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, it means you don't look for a partner. ”

Hearing Ye Lin say this, the brother smiled bitterly again and said, "Boss, it's not that I don't look for it, but I can't find it." ”

"Why can't you find it? As long as you want to find it, you can't find it. ”

Ye Lin is right, it depends on whether you want to find it or not, if you want to find it, you can still find it, but the requirements can't be so high.

In this world, three-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged people still grab a handful, especially in this era when there is no family planning.

Because there is no family planning, it doesn't matter if there are boys and girls, as long as they do, why will there be more men and fewer women in later generations?

In order to have a boy, many people go to the hospital for a check-up when they are a few months pregnant, and if it is a boy, it is a beating, and if it is a girl, it is beaten.

There is no way, because of family planning, you can only have one, and you all want one that can be passed on to the next generation, in the eyes of some old ideas and old feudalism, it is obvious that girls cannot pass on the ancestry.

However, Ye Lin also understood why this brother was not easy to find, to put it bluntly, he was still too old.

Ye Lin's brothers, the youngest is about the same age as him, and the oldest is one or two years older than him.

In other words, the youngest is twenty-nine years old, the oldest is thirty-one years old, and this brother is the oldest, Chinese New Year's Eve one year old today.

At his age, if he is in the next life, it may be normal that he is not married, but in this era, it can basically be said that there is none.

Of course, it does not mean that there are no at all, for example, this wave of educated youths returning to the city, there are still many older men and women who are not married.

But it is precisely because of this that it is even more difficult to find, going to the mountains and going to the countryside is said to be the same as men and women, in fact, there are still more men and fewer women, and this ratio is likely to be three to one.

Even if they all return to the city, this proportion will be even greater, and it can be said that there are more older leftover men than older leftover women.

"Okay, let's go, let's see what Tan Fei is doing with me. Ye Lin patted the brother on the shoulder.

To be honest, it's hard to find it, but Ye Lin is not worried about his brothers, in a few years, it will become money first.

At that time, his brothers will become the fifth king of diamonds one by one, and it is not easy to find a daughter-in-law.

It's hard to find someone who is quite old, but can you still have a young one?

It's not that Ye Lin wants this, but the times are like this, and he can't help it.

"Hmm!"

This brother came on a tricycle, so Ye Lin didn't need to ride, he just got on his tricycle and went over.

Tan Fei's family also lives in Xijiaomin Lane, but it is not a large compound from Ye Lin's previous residence, but there is a distance.

"Boss, you're here. As soon as the two of them arrived at the gate of the compound where Tan Fei's family lived, Tan Fei greeted them.

"I said you kid, it's just a blind date, as for letting me come over?" Ye Lin got off the tricycle and looked at Tan Fei and asked.

"Boss, I'm ...... I can't help it! I ......."

"Okay, put the, where is the blind date?"

"Go to the woman's house. ”

"Let's go!"

"Wait, boss, my parents are still preparing things. ”

"Uhhh

The bride price in the 70s and 60s changed a lot, and in the 60s, the bride price was four dollars and the bride price was two pounds of sugar.

The dowry of the seventies was thirty-six legs and three turns and one ring, three turns, commonly known as the old three, that is, a bicycle, a watch and a sewing machine.

This is not only a daily necessities prepared for the newlyweds to start a new life after marriage, but also a reflection of the family's living standards, so the wedding with these three pieces is decent.

These three pieces are summarized as three turns, and in some places, the woman asks for a ring, which of course refers to the radio.

Many families can't afford these things, so many people borrow them to get married before they get married.

Three turns and one ring formed the now recognized marriage necessities, so in the seventies, the material conditions for marriage and forming a family were manifested in thirty-six legs and three turns and one ring.

Of course, having 36 legs in a family does not mean that there are 18 people, let alone how many chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep are raised in the family.

Rather, women demand that their new home in the future must have enough furniture.

As for the specific variety, it seems that it varies from place to place, and some venues also count the tripod standing in the corner, and they have never been able to understand what the other piece of furniture is with an odd number of legs.

According to the living conditions at that time, it was very happy to be able to prepare the "old three" when they got married, and the families with better conditions would buy diamond brand watches, Phoenix brand bicycles and Wuyang brand sewing machines, which were the brand goods of this era.

At this time, if anyone rides a Phoenix brand bicycle, it is tantamount to driving a Mercedes-Benz BMW in the future, which will always make people envious.

And that's just the dowry, plus the dowry.

When getting engaged, there is still a hundred yuan of engagement money, and the matchmaker sets the date of the wedding, and the wedding price is also one hundred yuan.

Judging from the bride price alone, it is 50 times higher than in the 60s, because in the 60s it was a 4 yuan bride price from beginning to end.

Now not only does the engagement cost a bride price, but also the marriage, which is two hundred yuan! It is impossible for an ordinary family to come up with it.

The amount of the mother's dowry does not depend entirely on the amount of the man's dowry.

According to the current "market price", the man's dowry is 100 yuan in cash, plus dozens of catties of quilt cotton, more than 10 zhang of cloth tickets, or a few jars of old wine.

However, the dowry given by the mother's family must have at least one set of round pieces (wooden foot basins, toilets, etc.), beds, tables of eight immortals, chairs, stools, basin stands, lilac cabinets, flat cabinets and boxes and other wooden utensils, more than six new quilts, and some porcelain, tinware, new clothes, etc.

In order to look better on the scene, the woman's parents will do everything possible to earn face for their married daughter, so there is a joke: "Raise a robber".

"Wait, get things ready, are you on a blind date or are you engaged?"

Although Ye Lin didn't know these very well, he also knew that if it was just a blind date, it didn't seem like he needed to prepare anything.

After the blind date is successful, you will prepare for the engagement, and then choose a date to get married.

"Blind date! But boss, although it's a blind date, it's not good to go empty-handed!"

"Uh!" Hearing Tan Fei say this, Ye Lin nodded and said, "This is also true, isn't it strange that Liduo [] people are not blamed!"

"Yes, boss, and I'm so old, it's not easy to find a daughter-in-law. ”

"Okay, but what are you asking me to do? It's not going to be ......."

"Yes...... I have this plan, but I may not need it, so boss, you ......"

"Fuck off, I'll tell you Tan Fei, don't even think about it, you better find someone else to do this. ”

Ye Lin now figured it out, it turned out that Tan Fei asked him to come over to ask him to help go on a blind date.

Although it is said that blind dates for others are very common in this era, Ye Lin definitely does not do it, and he goes on blind dates for his brothers.

If he gets married in the future, Tan Fei's daughter-in-law won't hate him for the rest of his life! So Ye Lin would never do such a thing.

"Boss, this is just in case, maybe not at all. ”

"That's not good, I'll tell you Tan Fei, you'd better not get these vain things, you go by yourself, you can achieve it, if you don't achieve it, you can't do it, but you must not make these crooked things. ”

"Uhhhh......h

"Listen to me, have you thought about it, if people don't look down on you, you find someone to go on a blind date for you, and in the end the blind date is successful, what happens after you get married?"

Hearing Ye Lin say this, Tan Fei thought for a while and said, "Yes, people don't look down on me in the first place, even if they succeed in deceiving others on a blind date, they still don't look down on me after getting married." ”

"So, don't find someone to replace you, or you go to the photo yourself, as long as people like you, it's easy to say anything. ”

Ye Lin thought very simply, you must not do this thing of finding someone to go on a blind date, since people don't look down on you, even if you are married.

Although it is said that it is not divorced, it is because this era is still very sensitive to power, but not divorce does not mean that people will live well with you.

Even if it goes on, because you lied to her, she will become unreasonable, or all kinds of things, you can imagine what will become of the future.

"I understand Boss, but Boss, you still have to come with me. ”

"Uh! what am I going to do?"

"Of course, it's to help me check it! I'm on a blind date for the first time, and I feel a little nervous, but I'm not so nervous when you're next to me, boss. ”
