[33] The matchmaker came to the door
"Daddy, someone is looking for you. The sound of apricot blossoms sounded outside the door.
Along with Xinghua was a middle-aged woman in her forties, with a square face, not tall, wearing a small floral dress, which was very popular with middle-aged women in this era.
However, Wu Daguang didn't know anyone who came, there were more than 100 families in the village, and they had never seen her, and from her face, she didn't look like a person who didn't leave the door.
"You are Wu Daguang. The woman stepped into the house in small steps, and sat down on the kang by herself.
"Yes, I'm Wu Daguang, do you have anything to do with me?" When a stranger comes to him, his first thought is not a good thing.
"Don't be nervous, I'm from Liujiawan, I don't have anything else to do with you, I just came to see you. ”
Wu Daguang grinned, this sentence really tested his IQ, a stranger ran to his house and said to look at him, it was really incomprehensible.
"There is no hot water, it's a walk, it's strangely cold. The woman asked.
Wu Daguang glanced at Er Laizi, and Er Laizi immediately responded: "Yes, yes, you wait for a while, I'll go find a bowl." ”
The mother-in-law glanced at Erlaizi and asked Wu Daguang: "Is he your brother?"
Who is this mother-in-law, I didn't say anything about coming to his house for some reason, but I also asked so much, where did the apricot blossoms come from.
"He's my buddy, may I ask who you are?" Wu Daguang maintained respect.
"Oh, look at me, I patronized and chatted with you, I forgot to say, you just call me Aunt Wang, I'm here to see how you are. ”
"See what I'm doing?" More and more doubts waited for Wu Daguang.
"You're not young, right, I heard that Xinghua's mother ran away with someone, Xinghua is only four years old, are you going to beat a bachelor like this for the rest of your life?" Aunt Wang said, in her dictionary, there are few singles who don't want to please their mother-in-law.
"Aunt Wang, I'm not in a hurry, I'm too busy now, how can I still think about my mother-in-law's affairs. ”
"You don't have to be embarrassed, my aunt is from here, and my aunt knows. Aunt Wang said, looking at the furniture of Wu Daguang's house, she was quite satisfied, building a big tiled house in the village was enough to attract the little girl, and the furniture at home was still new. "Your conditions are good, you can find a big girl who is smart. ”
Wu Daguang was speechless, this Aunt Wang didn't even know herself, so she was going to come to tell her as a matchmaker.
"Aunt Wang, actually I ......"
"No, actually, what the hell did you say Xinghua, you have such good conditions, and you ran away with others. Aunt Wang sighed.
Xinghua on the side, her eyes stared at Aunt Wang, she didn't allow others to say that her aunt was not good, and she would never allow it.
"My grandma will come back, Xinghua doesn't want a stepmother, Xinghua doesn't want a stepmother, Xinghua doesn't want a stepmother. Xinghua said three don'ts in a row, and the last one didn't come out.
Aunt Wang obviously didn't expect that what she said was like a knife poking into Xinghua's soft heart.
Aunt Wang even has her grandson as big as an apricot blossom, and there are tricks to deal with children, so she quickly smiled and flattered Xinghua: "Okay, don't, don't, my aunt won't introduce your father." ”
The simple Xinghua believed it, and she began to worry that the impoliteness just now would make her father dislike her, so she stood aside and kept silent.
Wu Daguang smiled apologetically: "Children are not sensible, don't care." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, your apricot blossom is much more sensible than my granddaughter, think about it, my aunt will go first." Aunt Wang walked out.
Er Laizi happened to walk in with a bowl of water: "Aunt Wang, what's wrong, let's go, drink some water and leave." ”
"Good, good. Aunt Wang took the water, took two sips, and her eyes fell on Er Laizi again: "Young man, how old are you?"
When Er Laizi was asked like this, he also looked confused, and replied in a puzzled tone: "Twenty...... Twenty-three. ”
"Marry a daughter-in-law. ”
"No, not yet. ”
"Why haven't you married a daughter-in-law yet?"
"Poor, how can people look at us poor, but I will be able to build a big tiled house next year. ”
"Okay, it's good to build a big tile house, when you build a big tile house, how about my aunt introduce you to a daughter-in-law?"
"That's a good idea. Er Laizi honestly agreed.
It took more than half an hour to ink before sending Aunt Wang away.
The matchmaker of this era is not linked to money, just in order to please a celebration, there is a saying among the people, people's life expectancy is sixty years old, do more good things, increase life, do more moral things, reduce life, matchmaker's line, commonly known as Tianxi, Lord Yama will add life.
Although this statement is very nonsense, many mothers-in-law in the village are happy to peek at whose girl should get married, and whose boy will marry his daughter-in-law.
Wu Daguang didn't take this matter to heart, now is the stage of his efforts, and it is not suitable for him to start a family first and then start a business.
Village Chief's ......
"Let's measure the ground tomorrow morning, and the measurement will be finished in three or five days, why bother people with Daguang, according to half a day, not more than ten days." The village chief said that he didn't want to measure the land, but he thought about it and did something for the villagers, and the position of the village chief might be kept next year.
"It's okay, Daguang said, he will measure the land with everyone when he comes back from the set, we will not delay his business, and Daguang also agreed. ”
"Can't you trust me?" asked the village chief.
"It's not that I can't believe it, didn't we see that you were busy, so we looked for Daguang first, and Daguang agreed, and we measured it in private, not waiting for him, it's not good. The villager said.
The village chief sighed countless times in his heart, and it could be seen from the matter of measuring the land that he was completely set aside, what was going on in the village, the villagers were not looking for him as the village chief for the first time, Wu Daguang, Wu Daguang, what kind of demon magic do you know, so that the villagers believe in you.
The next day, Wu Daguang went home from the gathering, was eating, several villagers with a meter ruler book to find him, when he heard that the people in the village were waiting for him to monitor the measuring land, a little flattered.
At noon, even the rest time was sacrificed, and he was pulled to the ground by the villagers.
It's winter, and it's summer, and it's unbearable.
In the afternoon, I ran two hills and measured one-tenth of the land, and the owners of these lands were a little happy and a little dissatisfied. Indeed, as the villagers said, some villagers have two people who occupy more than half an acre of land, and some people who have four people can barely count the amount of land for three people.
The overbearing villagers privately made some small moves with the villagers who measured the land, and the village chief only thought that he was old and dizzy, and when he saw it, he fooled the past, but the villagers with less land began to argue that the amount was wrong and asked for a new measure of land.
Wu Daguang didn't understand at all, every time a villager quarreled, Wu Daguang ran over to take a look.
It was this glance that made the villagers who measured the land dare not make small moves, how much should it be, and then the villagers dug a deep pit with their heads, buried big stones, and used this as the four boundaries of the land.
