"Xiaohe, come and pour tea for your Uncle Wang, Uncle Si and Brother Cao!"

Director Chen looked at his sister Chen Min, who was still in the study just now, why did he suddenly change his attitude, and he was a little confused in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info sister's temper is known by herself, and the reason she recognizes is that even when the king of heaven comes, don't want to change her attention.

Yin He was also a little puzzled, his mother has always looked down on people from the countryside, why is she so enthusiastic today? He didn't dare to disobey his mother, so he sat down at the coffee table in a daze.

"I said Mr. Wang, Qianqian will work on your side in the future, you have to take care of it more."

While speaking, Chen Min personally grabbed the teapot and poured tea for Wang Xiangzhong.

Director Chen's eyes rolled, and he guessed the reason for Chen Min's change in attitude, it must be because he knew Chen Qian's annual salary. Hey, people are always used to judging a person's ability according to the amount of annual income, and those who make more money must have the ability.

Director Chen shook his head and smiled slightly at his sister. When Chen Min saw it, he smiled at his brother a little apologetically, and then hurriedly said, "You drink tea first, and I'll help my sister-in-law with her work." ”

After all, she is also a woman, watching her sister-in-law and sister-in-law's sister busy, if she doesn't help, she can't say anything.

Chen Qian has now gone to the kitchen to work, and with Chen Min, the already small kitchen is suddenly crowded.

Xiao Chengqiang's wife, Su Xiaopei, saw Chen Min come in, and pushed her out with a smile. Su Xiaopei is a neat woman, a good daughter-in-law who can go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen. With her in the kitchen, all problems will be solved.

"Sister, you don't have to join in the fun, the two of us sisters plus Chen Qian are enough to be lively."

Chen Min felt that the kitchen was too small, and the work efficiency became lower when there were more people, so she was busy cleaning up the dining table.

In the morning, Su Xiaopei sisters plus Chen Qian and Chen Min were busy cooking, at half past eight in the morning, everyone ate dumplings first, and then waited until twelve o'clock at noon, and then officially started the banquet.

In 1995, there were important guests in the family, and they were not in the habit of going to the restaurant, so they generally found a few relatives, the male accompanied the guests to drink and chat, and the female was responsible for boiling water to make tea, stir-frying and cooking. Generally, at this time, the family is busy, the children are running around, and it is lively and very happy. It's a busy day, this thing has been done, the words have been said, and after the day has passed, they have become familiar with each other and kissed a lot.

This is very unlike in the future, everyone has something to do in the hotel, one by one rushed to the hotel, and after sitting down, they all took out their mobile phones, you play yours and I play mine, there is no atmosphere of happy events at all. After a meal, maybe they don't even know each other.

Wang Xiangzhong came to Chen Qian's house this time as a matchmaker.

This matchmaker, how to behave and what to do, is very particular. According to the customs of the Qilu region, the matchmaker is the middleman, who is responsible for passing the words back and forth, that is, conveying the woman's request to the man, and then letting the man do the happy event according to the woman's requirements.

Generally speaking, if the matchmaker wants to say that it is a family matter, he needs to go to the woman's house at least three times.

At the beginning, whose guy fell in love with whose girl, and then the guy's parents would look for a suitable matchmaker. After the person is chosen, the man's parents will take the things to the matchmaker's house to ask the matchmaker. If the matchmaker's parents have no opinion, they will ask the matchmaker to go back and let the man pick a date, so that the parents of both sides can sit and look at each other's children.

Both parents have no opinion, and the child has no opinion, and then the two children will be separated for a while. After a while, then the man and woman in love feel that they have no opinion, and then the man will invite the matchmaker to his home and let him go to the woman's house. The purpose of this trip is mainly to ask the woman what requirements she has for the next happy event. Specifically, whether to change the handkerchief first, and then set a parent, or to change the handkerchief together. As for how much is the handkerchief and how much is the marriage, the matchmaker has to ask the woman's parents clearly, in fact, it is to ask the woman's parents how much bride price money. After that, go back to the man's parents' house, explain it to the man's parents, and ask them to hurry up and do it according to the woman's parents' request.

After the man's parents have prepared everything according to the requirements of the woman's parents, the man's parents will give the bride price money to the matchmaker, and the matchmaker will take the money to the woman's house and give the money to the woman's parents. Because it involves money, generally speaking, a matchmaker is not reassuring, so there are two matchmakers, one main matchmaker and one help matchmaker. The bride price is handed over to the main matchmaker, and the matchmaker is responsible for helping to supervise.

Of course, this process is an old tradition. After arriving, because everyone was troublesome, many links were omitted. For example, this bride price, the general prospective son-in-law directly sent it by himself.

In fact, the old traditional things are still quite interesting, and gradually everyone has lost the tradition, and this happy event is becoming less and less lively as before.

Wang Xiangzhong's purpose in coming this time was to discuss with Chen Qian's parents about the happy event between Chen Qian and Cao Hong.

However, although the purpose of this trip is only this, it is too abrupt to discuss this matter at the first time. Director Chen also understood this, so before drinking, everyone was talking and laughing, and they didn't pull that direction at all.

After he started drinking, Wang Xiangzhong finally discussed the matter of Chen Qian and Cao Hongqing with Director Chen.

"You have also seen it, Director Chen, you know the purpose of my visit today. I mean, if there is anything I need to give to Cao Hongqing's parents, you can tell me directly, and I promise to convey it to you. After a glass of wine, Wang Xiangzhong covered his face with the strength of the wine, looked at Director Chen and told the matter.

Director Chen laughed, patted Wang Xiangzhong's shoulder and said, "Mr. Wang, now that Chen Qian is your subordinate, you are equivalent to her elder, if you have anything to say, you can also tell Xiao Cao's parents directly, we don't have any opinions here." ”

"I know, I know, I said, big brother, let's just do something direct. What's that, Chen Qian is twenty-three years old this year, and Hong Qing is twenty-five, which is not small. In my opinion, let's not make trouble, just change hands and kiss a set, and after that, we are ready to get married directly in the second half of the year! Big brother, do you see me saying that? ”

Director Chen nodded again and again: "That's what I mean, right!" Right! ”

Wang Xiangzhong continued: "What, big brother, since I am on this errand, I have to do this errand well." There's another thing, big brother, you have to listen carefully, our side is now a set of handkerchiefs, it's one in a thousand, I don't know ...... on your side."

The meaning of one in a thousand is that the bride price is one thousand and one dollars.

Hall Chief Chen waved his hand and said to Wang Xiangzhong with a smile: "The customs are according to your side!" ”

When Wang Xiangzhong heard this, he happily held his wine glass and said with a smile: "Big brother, simply, I am willing to deal with a simple person like you." ”

After a drink, basically the matter of Chen Qian and Cao Hongqing was settled.
