19-year-old Sun Chaoqun, after returning to his hometown to experience hardships in life and making difficult money, watched his peers get engaged, and he was unwilling to be left behind, and he also flamboyed himself to find a favorite partner for himself.

After waiting for the female classmate in the same class with him to reply to the letter to no avail, he spread the words to several people who usually like to match young people into pairs, and the countryside is called "matchmaker." ”

He didn't like a few of them, he was a little impatient, could it be that he compared the girls he saw with his former "favorite" classmates, so that he couldn't see the advantages of the girls he saw, and formed an illusion?

He slowly calmed down, thinking about the reasons for the failure, just as he was thinking about what type of girl he valued, and when he hesitated, Wang Huanyi's mother introduced her to a girl not far from his home.

The girl was five miles away from Sun Chaoqun's house, about the same age as him, very tall, about 1.7 meters tall, with a well-proportioned body and a delicate face, the only deficiency was that her mouth was slightly upturned.

The girl's mother died early, and she took on everything in the family since she was a child, and she was shrewd and capable.

Zhang enthusiastically asked the queen mother to take Sun Chaoqun to the woman's house first, and after meeting, Sun Chaoqun went to the woman's house, and saw that the house was clean and tidy, and he felt a lot more about the girl.

In rural areas, generally men and women are led by "matchmakers" to go to the girl's house or the nearest good friend's house, and after being introduced by an intermediary, the two young people look at each other, look at each other, but do not speak, this process is called "back meeting". After the meeting, if both parties are satisfied, the "matchmaker" will talk about the "bride price" according to local customs, buy the number and type of clothes for the woman, and then the man invites his main relatives to hold a small-scale banquet, and as soon as the girl is introduced in front of everyone, the "engagement banquet" begins.

After the engagement banquet is over, the man's main relatives bring the bride price and buy good clothes for the girl, and send them to the woman's home under the recommendation of the matchmaker. ”

After the girl saw Sun Chaoqun, the matchmaker said that she was satisfied, and Sun Chaoqun couldn't make up her mind at this time, hoping that her mother Zhang Enthusiasm would help him take a look again.

"Mom, you didn't go when we met for the first time, you must take a good look this time, this involves living with you in the future, and your opinion is very important." Sun Chaoqun said to his mother that he meant to inspect again.

Zhang Enthusiasm was working hard for a while, she seemed to be very relieved about her son's affairs, and took over the conversation, "Now it's all you young people who just look at each other, my opinion doesn't matter," Zhang Enthusiasm said, paused for a while, and seemed to remember something to say, "Then what do you think?" ”

Sun Chaoqun had a hard time saying how he felt for a while, he thought for a while, "Overall, it's similar to the description of the Queen Mother." ”

"It seems that you haven't made up your mind yet, so I'll talk about it when I see you." His mother saw him hesitant.

Accompanied by the queen mother, he saw the girl again, Zhang Wenhua looked at it roughly, and said to the queen mother, "I think that's it, as long as Chaoqun has no opinion." ”

On the way home, the Queen Mother joked, "I find that you have a big heart, and the child's affairs are not so careful?" ”

Zhang Enthusiasm also said with a wry smile, "Dani has such a big incident, Chaohua has not graduated yet, the burden is a bit heavy, you have to take advantage of the old bones are still easy to use, if you can help the child, help a little more, besides, Chaoqun is still small, and the opportunity to choose is also greater, so let him see more." ”

After hearing this, the queen mother was embarrassed to say, "Chaohuatuo Huanyi helped me ask about my niece, the girl has more ideas now, and she didn't do it, I'm sorry, I want to worry about finding a suitable one for Chaoqun, just now, there is an acquaintance who introduces this girl." ”

"No matter what, I have to thank you first," without waiting for Zhang Wenhua to finish speaking, the queen mother said, "Then you will see the outside, to speak from the heart, I have always hoped that Huanyi and Chaohua can start and finish well, but the result is still unsatisfactory, and the matter of the babies will not affect the interaction between our sisters." ”

Seeing that the queen mother was sincere, Zhang Enthusiasm also said, "Who said no, maybe Chaohua doesn't have this blessing, but fortunately, my sister is the same as me, and she can see this matter openly." ”

After Zhang Enthusiasm came back, Chaoqun asked his mother what he thought, and his mother said, "It's an ordinary baby, but the house is very clean, and it should be a good hand." ”

Sun Chaoqun agreed to get engaged under the repeated urging of the queen mother.

After getting engaged, Zhang Enthusiasm was still busy doing her "dumping" business.

Sun Chaoqun's "quasi-marriage" daughter-in-law is very generous, perhaps because of the lack of maternal love, he came to Chaoqun's house two times in three days to help Dani and Xiaoni clean up the house in order, and the two sisters also had a good impression of her.

Sun Chaoqun also traveled back and forth between the city and his home every now and then, rolling the road with the girl and visiting the market, and the topics of communication between the two became more.

The girl has a low level of education, graduated from primary school, is more admitted, and is also very sticky to Sun Chaoqun, sometimes making Sun Chaoqun feel a little breathless, feeling like "suffocating." ”

They often "shake" in the field of vision of the neighborhood, which inevitably leads to discussions.

By chance, Sun Chaoqun heard a gossip from others, saying that this girl can do anything, and the fly in the ointment is a bit "overwhelming".

Other people's words caused Sun Chaoqun to think deeply, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was too careless, why didn't he look carefully, and complained that his mother didn't give him a good check.

A few months later, he finally mustered up the courage and told Sun Laowan and his wife that he would break off the marriage.

Father Sun Laowan scolded him angrily when he heard this, "Do you know how much you spent on your engagement?" Not only have you used up your savings in the past two years, but even the little possessions we have saved have also been exhausted, your eldest brother is still in school, and we have the ability to save money for you to marry a daughter-in-law. ”

Zhang Enthusiasm also persuaded, "Your father is talking about money, I am talking about human feelings, you are unwilling now, how to let the matchmaker put face, do you know why people are kind enough to give you effort and spare no effort to introduce the object?" ”

"I understand what you say, and I also know that this decision may cost more than 800 yuan, but I promise you the second elder, next time I ask my daughter-in-law that you don't want to bear it anymore, I will save enough myself and then look for a suitable one, you just need to provide the eldest brother's living expenses, as for the matchmaker who has a special relationship with us, can't I go and apologize to others?" Sun Chaoqun told his parents all their worries, which overwhelmed them.

"Let's talk to your eldest brother, we can't control you," the parents said angrily.

Sun Chaoqun knew that his parents were deliberately pretending to be angry on the surface, but they really gave themselves a step, and hurriedly said, "Big brother, I will naturally go and say it, you can rest assured, this matter will definitely be handled properly." ”

After Chaoqun told Chaohua what he thought, Chaohua just asked him if he had decided, and seeing that he answered very simply, Chaohua said, "Since you have thought about it, I have nothing to persuade," After speaking, he asked Sun Chaoqun, what else can he do for him?

Chaoqun thought for a while and said to his brother, "Before I go to apologize to the Queen Mother, if you can explain the reason to Sister Wang Huanyi and ask her to say hello to the Queen Mother again." ”

"Okay, that's it," Chaohua promised to explain to Wang Huanyi first.
