Chapter 35: The Transition to Vietnam
At the instigation of Niu Fat and Uncle, as soon as the morning dawned, I called my mother and went to Thailand to have a look in the name of looking for my daughter-in-law.
It was close to noon before I gave feedback to the message, saying that a group of people would be organized to go over on the fifteenth of this month, asking me if Niu Fat was going, of course I had to pull him up, after all, this is a list for the two of us, and I can't be unlucky alone. My mom told me on the phone that they would call me when they set off, and that we would leave in the city, and we would just have to wait in the city and get the visa.
According to my mom, I talked to the matchmaker twice on the phone, and they all said the same thing. It was finally determined on the 16th of this month.
Early that morning, we received a call from the matchmaker asking us to rush to the airport.
I put my uncle's soul in a bottle, put the bottle in the pocket of my clothes, and after doing multiple layers of insurance, I went to the airport with Niu Fat, and according to the agreement, we arrived at 6:45 or 7 o'clock.
However, Niu Pang and I waited at the airport for several hours, and when it was close to eleven o'clock, I saw a group of people coming, at first I didn't care, because there was no matchmaker in this team, until my mobile phone rang and I heard the other party's voice was a man, and I didn't notice this line.
I met with Niu Fat and the team, and I complained dissatisfiedly, "What the hell is going on, didn't you say seven o'clock?" What time is it? ”
Led by a man about thirty years old with a pothole in his face, he looked at me apologetically, "Look at what you said, what are we going to do, we can't do insurance?" If something goes wrong, you're fine, we're people up and down, and we're involved in international disputes. ”
I thought to myself, is this an international dispute? When Lao Tzu doesn't understand the law. "What should I do next, go buy a plane ticket?" I asked.
The man stretched out a hand and straightened his waist, "Hello, I'm the team leader, just call me Xiaobai." ”
I stretched out my hand and shook his hand, this man was obviously older than me, and I was a little embarrassed to call him Xiaobai, but he should be used to saying this, because the men behind him were all about thirty years old, and most of them were older than him.
There are only eight people in this tour group plus Xiaobai, all of whom are about the same age, I thought I was the youngest with Niu Fat, and there was a young man younger than us, his name was Zhang Qing, he was from Hubei, I was curious about how he and Xiaobai got in touch, and it may have been introduced by the matchmaker.
After getting acquainted with each other, Xiaobai gave us a map, on which we don't know the words, like pinyin, but not pinyin, there is a place that is marked.
"This is where we are going, this whole map is a small county town, and the red circle on it is our destination, Wow Ancient Village. One more thing, I have to tell you in advance, the place we are going to is not Thailand, it is Vietnam. Xiaobai said very calmly.
"Hey, you introduced me to Thailand, and now you say that you are going to Vietnam, do you have a truth in your mouth?" One of the men raised his voice, attracting people from the airport.
I thought about it, our destination is not Thailand, what am I going to do, just want to speak, the position of my heart is cold, and a voice seems to come out of my heart, "Follow them, I was like this when I bought it, I have a low culture, I don't know what is from the country of Vietnam, southern Thailand." I remember to the tour guide to say in advance that I forgot. ”
Niu Pang didn't know when, joined the team that quarreled with the tour guide, the tour guide dared to pick with us at the airport, and must have decided that we couldn't leave, on the other hand, I also have my own careful thoughts, in case they don't go, this trip to Vietnam can't go out, and then I will go to it more troublesome. I can also be regarded as a favor, pulling Niu Fat, what I said to Niu Fat is actually the same as what I said to these men. "Niu Fat, what do you say you are arguing about, no matter where you go, you can just catch your daughter-in-law."
Niu Pang looked at me, with a puzzled face, I gave Niu Pang a look, Niu Pang understood for a long time, and pretended to be very white and glanced at Xiaobai, "You kid has met a nobleman, I don't care about them, my fat grandfather only needs to be good-looking, no matter where it is, it looks good." ”
Xiaobai saw that someone had a head, and immediately agreed, "Absolutely, I can't forget you and affirm, find you a beautiful daughter-in-law, and bring it home to save face." ”
Seeing that we had compromised, the others found a step down and changed their strategy temporarily. After that, I have to send a message to the boss, in case something happens, the boss will not ignore us, although the boss has been cheating me, on the whole it is good to me, I saved me when I was in danger and can be trusted. For the sake of double insurance, I called my brother and said that I went to Vietnam, and then I followed Xiaobai to buy a ticket
got on the plane, and their group of people are all older young people, not even a dick, they don't admit it, but they have flown to Vietnam in their hearts, and they all hope to bring back a beautiful daughter-in-law and continue the incense.
After getting on the plane, I turned off my mobile phone at the request of the plane, and several people started chatting.
"Brothers, what are you all doing?" I asked these people.
One of them, Brother Zhao, who was about thirty-five years old, laughed twice, "I'm a small contractor. ”
"Then if you go to Vietnam, we can find it in China." This is Wang Lifu who spoke, because I was very impressed by the name, he was a smart person, there were many people in the economy class, his mouth was mixed, and he didn't break the rules.
"You don't know this, our Chinese porcelain dolls, you can't touch them, you have to coax them, troublesome, foreign ones are different, classic, and it's the material for life." The level of words in these words is not ordinary, and people who don't know still think that we have bought inflatable dolls.
I don't understand, Brother Zhao is a small package foreman, not bad for money, a good Chinese daughter-in-law doesn't want it, you have to find a Vietnamese daughter-in-law.
A few hours later, the plane arrived in Hanoi, Vietnam, and met a middle-aged woman, Xiaobai introduced us to us that this is an adoptive mother, to put it bluntly, it is the nature of the work of a matchmaker. At first, the roads in Vietnam were smooth, and the more you went to the back, the more difficult it was to walk, and the potholes were so bad that it could not be called a road, and in my opinion it was dangerous.
After a day and a night of driving, we arrived at this village called Wow Gu, it should be that the locals have not seen outsiders for a long time, when we came in the middle of the night, there were people at the entrance of the village to welcome us, and the men who traveled with us immediately put up a shelf.
After being baptized by the locals, we were placed in a room in the village, and many people came into the house to complain and complain. Before I came, I thought that China was the country with the worst gap between the rich and the poor, but now it seems that the gap between the rich and the poor in Vietnam is quite significant, separated by a street in some places, with tall buildings on one side and low straw billets on the other.
I washed up briefly, and when I was about to lie down, Xiaobai walked in from outside, "Everyone, you can go on a blind date tomorrow, you have to dress up handsomely, otherwise I won't be responsible for the ugly wife I married." Xiaobai said with a smile.
I lay on my bed, groping for my mobile phone, I didn't dare to open the network, as long as I opened the network, the mobile phone bill definitely became a huge negative, I can't afford it, I can't afford it, I hold my mobile phone to watch the video I downloaded before, anyway, I don't want to be drunk, and this blind date has nothing to do with me.
"Hey, can we touch it tomorrow? See if it's the real deal? Wang Lifu said this with a smile on his face.
"You kid is not honest, be careful that you can't find a daughter-in-law." A younger man, we call him Ajun.
"Let you say this, as long as we pay for it, we can't find any daughter-in-law." A man with a scruffy beard said with a noble face, I don't know what his name is, he looks like a butcher, and I nicknamed him a butcher.
When Zhang Qing heard him say this, his face was full of disgust, "Do you know why the Vietnamese daughter-in-law ran away?" It's because of people like you that they think it's great to make some money, and if you give some money and have a bird, you deserve to be a bachelor for the rest of your life, right? Zhang Qing turned his voice to me.
I saw that the butcher's face was blue and purple for a while, and I knew that it might be unpleasant to continue talking, "I think it's better to be polite, everyone is also a yellow flower girl, and you just listen to him say this, maybe you feel sorry for your daughter-in-law when the time comes." ”
Wang Lifu also saw that I was easing the deadlock, "Hey, if you want me to say, our competitive goal is this kid, Ma Dong is young, he looks good, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law definitely like Ma Dong." ”
"What's the matter, I said Ma Dong, you said that you are not bad, you are young, why do you run this blind date, if there are definitely a lot of little girls in our Shaanxi to come to the door to propose." The butcher's attention shifted to me.
As soon as I saw it, it was unreasonable, and I pushed out Niu Fat, "Isn't this a daughter-in-law for my friend, let me show him." I ignored Niu Fat's vicious gaze.
Brother Zhao looked at Niu Fat, "Brother, why didn't you find someone uglier than yourself when you came on a blind date, isn't this lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot." ”
"I said that you still have the heart to talk about this, seeing that the sky is almost dawn, sleep for two hours and clean up yourself, catch the dawn, I will find a barber to come and make it for you." Xiaobai interrupted us.
After Xiaobai finished speaking, he didn't continue the topic, although he had been in the car for so long, no one had the heart to sleep, and he remembered the details of tomorrow's blind date.
As soon as the sky turned white, the group got up, washed their faces and combed their hair and began to make a fuss, and Niu Pang took out the perfume he specially bought when he got off the plane and sprayed wildly.
Towards seven o'clock, a man entered our room, greeted us warmly in tongue-twisted Mandarin, and after introduction, his profession was equivalent to that of a translator.
After getting to know each other, Xiaobai led us out of the door, and when I went out, I found a young woman standing not far away, wearing a leather coat, looking diametrically opposed to the people here.
"This is the first one to come on a blind date." The butcher didn't use his brains and opened his mouth to speak.
Xiaobai's face was embarrassed, "She is the wife of the translator, give you a haircut and shave, pay attention." ”
There was a chair in the yard, and all five men enjoyed this special treatment, which Niu Fat and I kindly declined.
Near noon, I found that there were several tables in the courtyard, and the chairs were placed in a face-to-face form, which looked a bit like a military blind date in China, so serious.
