Chapter 40: Find a matchmaker
After searching for a week on the mountain beam, seeing that the time was not early, Wang Manyin swayed and walked towards Shuangshui Village again.
What's that...... I thought about orchids.
is like the song in the later generations: "I don't see my sister for a day and can't sleep well, I don't see my sister for two days and I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do if I don't see ...... mountain road."
This woman is really, before she opened a sales agency, she came every three or five times. But since the opening of the consignment point, Orchid has not come.
It was difficult for Wang Manyin to speak.
The other party didn't come, so I had to find it.
When she saw the orchid again, she was walking towards home with half a basket of snow in the red.
"Man Yin, why are you here?" Orchid was also very happy to see her man.
"Calling you to go to the house for dinner, didn't I buy you alabaster, why don't you use it?"
Wang Manyin took the woman's cold and rough hand, a little distressed. Did the old man see that the eldest woman was about to get married, and he used someone to die.
"I'm using miles...... It's so precious, I'll use it in the morning. I don't go to eat anymore, how can I go to your house every day to eat, and the food is not rich...... I'd better eat it at home. ”
Sun Lanhua let the man hold her arms and twisted her mouth.
Seeing the woman's appearance of thinking about herself, Wang Manyin laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
Sun Lanhua blushed and gently twisted it on the man's shoulder.
It doesn't hurt even through the padded jacket.
"I remembered a joke I had read in a book. Once upon a time, an old man owed the rich man five taels of silver, and he never paid it back. Later, the rich man asked to use the old man's woman to repay the debt. Before marriage, the woman cried and cried and did not want to marry. As a result, on the morning of the second day of the wedding, the woman said to the rich man, 'My father still owes us five taels of silver, but you can't do without it.'" People are married and turn their elbows outward, and you are not married yet, so you know that you will save food for me. ”
"You laugh at me, and if you talk nonsense, I'll ignore you." This time, Sun Lanhua showed no mercy in her hands, and twisted the man's arm fiercely.
"Don't worry, didn't I already say that our family is not short of food. Waiting to get married, you will never go hungry. Wang Manyin assured again.
After a pause, he said angrily: "In addition, I haven't seen the main thing for so many days, and I think my orchid has ......."
"That'...... Alright then, I miss you too," Orchid nodded with a blushing face, "I'll send the wattle basket back and say ...... to the family."
Hearing that his eldest daughter was going to Wang Manyin's house for dinner in the evening, Sun Laohan just told him to come back early.
There is no way, the big woman's heart has already flown away.
So he's turning a blind eye now.
Anyway, the two of them are about to get married, even if they really make a fuss, it's nothing.
What's more, Wang Manyin's performance these days Sun Laohan sees it in his eyes, although he likes to be poor, but he is also a person who wants to go through the days and knows that he feels distressed.
When the orchid reappeared, there was an extra pair of cotton boots in her hand: "Full silver, this is what I made for you some time ago, go back and try to see if it fits." ”
"What you do, it must fit," knowing that it was a woman's friendship, Wang Manyin was naturally very happy.
By the time the two of them rushed home, it was already dark.
Let the woman sit down in the cave, Wang Manyin excused himself to go out to get firewood. When he returned, he held half a basin of morning noodles in his hand.
"Let's eat eggs and red buns in the snow at night. Steam some more, and get some for grandma when the time comes. ”
Orchid asked with some confusion, "Where did you come from?" ”
"Oh, I'll be in the newly dug cave in the afternoon." Wang Manyin then said. In fact, he just retrieved it from the space, but he couldn't tell the truth.
Men and women match, work without getting tired.
The two quickly made the bun filling, one rolled the dough and the other made the bun, and they cooperated very tacitly.
Wang Manyin looked at the appearance of the buns wrapped in the orchid, and couldn't help but sigh: "Orchid, you are so beautiful, the folds of the buns are very even, and they have caught up with the supply and marketing cooperatives." ”
"How can there be," was praised by the man, and the orchid was beautiful in her heart.
Soon, the wrapped buns are put into the steamer.
The man was adding firewood to the stove, and the orchid was not idle.
She had just seen that the quilt on the bed had broken several big holes, and the cotton wool was exposed. So he found a needle and thread, gathered under the kerosene lamp, and mended the seams on the quilt.
However, Wang Manyin remembered a serious matter: "Orchid, in the past two days, I will find a matchmaker to go to your house to discuss what to do with the marriage." If you have anything you want, bring it up early, I'll buy it all then......"
Speaking of which, the predecessor is also stupid and bold.
When I was looking for my daughter-in-law, I didn't go through the matchmaker at all, I just lay down on the kang and thought about it, and after determining the goal, I immediately took action.
directly hugged the orchid and made a commotion, and the matter was settled in a daze.
However, Wang Manyin did not plan to get married in a daze.
There is a car in front and a rut in the back, so it's better to do things honestly and according to the rules.
"I ...... Don't do anything, just find a matchmaker to go to your home. Orchid's face flushed again.
"Then what's the matter, what other people's families have when they get married, we have to have it too. I'm just going to find someone to make doors and windows these days, and then make a few chairs and a wooden box together, what do you think? ”
The newly dug cave has basically taken shape, and as long as the doors and windows are installed, people can live there.
However, Wang Manyin encountered a problem: wood is needed to make doors and windows. I don't have any timber at all, so I have to buy it from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Timber tickets are required to buy timber, and the average person has no indicators at all.
In addition, the loess is high and there are not many trees growing in the first place, and the wood is even more expensive.
There are a few acacia trees in his space, but the trunk has long been drilled into a big hole by the longhorn beetle, and the inside is basically rotten.
It's okay to be a little firewood, but it's definitely not okay to be a door.
Wang Manyin originally wanted to find Liu Qingli to solve it, but after thinking about it, forget it. Because of this favor, it's not worth it.
It's better to buy it privately, it's just a little more expensive.
He earned more than 100 yuan last time he sold fish, and he didn't care about giving more money.
Wang Manyin didn't plan to use any good wood, just ordinary acacia trees.
In addition to doors and windows, it is also necessary to make wooden boxes for chairs.
These are all technical jobs, and you have to find a specialized carpenter.
People know how many squares of wood are needed, how to cut the material, mark the line, make a big saw, and so on.
Hire a carpenter, and then take the handle yourself, and it is estimated that it will be done in three to five days.
In addition, Wang Manyin is also planning to go to Mijia Town in the near future and sell all the remaining carp.
By the way, get some cotton and make the new quilt cover earlier. It is also necessary to get married.
"It's all up to you," Orchid didn't have any opinion on that.
The hot buns came out of the pot quickly, and the red egg filling in the snow suddenly tasted quite fresh, and Wang Manyin ate five in a row.
The orchid said that he was full after eating two, and he forcibly handed one over.
Well...... Eat and drink enough, you have to do something.
The old ancestor was right, and when he was full, he thought about it......
If it weren't for the fear that the orchid would not be able to go back, Wang Manyin would have done it well.
The two of them kept warm for a while before Orchid buttoned up and planned to leave.
There were still a lot of buns left in the sorghum auction, Wang Manyin kept three, and the remaining ones were put into the cloth bag.
He did what he said, and the next day he went to Wang Lianshun with two bottles of loose wine and a pound of fruit candy.
Put down your things and say a few words of greeting, explaining your intentions: I plan to let the other party be a matchmaker and go to Shuangshui Village.
This is a good thing, and Wang Lianshun did not refuse.
Of course, the matchmaker went to Sun Yuhou's house for the first time, so naturally he couldn't be empty-handed. For this reason, Wang Manyin prepared another gift, which was also two bottles of wine and a pound of fruit candy.
In the countryside, this ceremony is also acceptable.
