Chapter 322: Huang Dazhi's Blind Date
After skipping this topic, Huang Dazhi's demeanor relaxed a lot, and he talked to Gao Mingcheng about his New Year's blind date.
When Huang Dazhi went home for the Chinese New Year, he told the matchmaker in Junling that he wanted to get married on a blind date, and then put his own conditions on the table, and then talked about the requirements for the woman.
However, Huang Dazhi is in a hurry to get married, and he doesn't have too many requirements for the woman, one is that it is best not to be too young, just one or two years younger than him, and the other is that the facial features are upright and not ugly.
Junling is larger than Gaojia Village, and there are many people living there, there is a matchmaker, after the matchmaker listened to Huang Dazhi's request, he immediately had a few candidates, and then on the second and fourth days of the Lunar New Year, he followed the matchmaker to see the woman.
"The girl who saw each other on the fourth day of junior high school, I still like it, but her mother is long gone, there is only one father in the family, and she is the eldest sister in the family, and there are five younger brothers and sisters below, and those younger brothers and sisters are basically brought up by her, and she is a very kind and hardworking person." Huang Dazhi spoke with a smile in his eyes, and he did seem to be a little moved.
Only Gao Mingcheng has heard a lot of Voldemort's legend, and he is a little uneasy about it, but he didn't say anything unpleasant, the marriage is Huang Dazhi's own business, as long as he likes it and he is willing, there is nothing wrong with it.
"Oh, how much does the other party want? Are there any other requirements? Gao Mingcheng asked in a flat tone.
"I haven't talked about this yet, I originally planned to go again on the sixth day of junior high school, but I didn't go later, and I went to Wangqiao Town to handle the case. As soon as this case was busy, it was busy until now. I plan to take a leave of absence in the next two days, go to the other party's house with the gift, and talk about the bride price and everything. "Huang Dazhi has a plan.
The main thing is that he is old and is indeed a little anxious.
Originally, his personal conditions were good, but his family had a burden, so no one in Junling and nearby villages was willing to marry.
This time, it was a village more than 20 miles away.
"Okay, if it's done, if there's anything you need help with, just say it." Gao Mingcheng said, which can be regarded as a reassurance to Huang Dazhi.
Huang Dazhi works in the county, and now that he is married, he naturally has to buy a house in the county, where he lives now, one person will be fine, and the newlyweds will live in it, which is a little bad.
"Okay." Huang Dazhi grinned, indeed a lot more relieved.
The two chatted a few more words and then separated, Huang Dazhi went back to continue working, and Gao Mingcheng had to go back.
On the way back, Gao Mingcheng saw someone carrying a burden selling tofu brains, so he bought a large portion, and the person who sold tofu brains quickly packed them in plastic bags, and then opened a bucket lid and scooped two spoonfuls of chili water from it with a spoon and poured them on the tofu brains.
This chilli water is made with chili powder, chives, and soy sauce, and has a spicy texture that is mixed in tofu brain to add flavor.
Of course, there was a small jar of white sugar in the bucket, but only when the customer asked for it, the vendor would scoop it up.
However, the people here are very spicy, and few people ask for sugar except for children.
After giving the money, Gao Mingcheng walked back quickly with his things, but he was thinking about it all the way.
Nowadays, there are more and more people doing small businesses, don't look at this kind of food seems simple, and the money for selling a copy is not much, but when the business is good, the money earned in a month is higher than the wages of workers.
Not to mention that in the past two years, many factories will fall into triangular debt, and then they will be on the verge of bankruptcy, and they will not even be able to pay their wages.
Therefore, Gao Mingcheng pondered that it was time to bring Gao Zhuang to the county to do things.
didn't call Gao Zhuang before, because after he and He Xiuman got married, He Xiuman quickly became pregnant, at this time, he must not call Gao Zhuang to go out, otherwise he will leave an old woman and a pregnant woman at home, how can this be at ease?
Now that the child is born and Gao Zhuang is brought to the county to do a small business, it doesn't matter.
As for what kind of business to do, he plans to do food, the people take food as the sky, as long as the food is done well, there is no worry about no business, and the capital invested in this business is not much.
But what to do depends on Gao Zhuang's thoughts.
He decided to go back to the village this time, so he talked to Gao Zhuang, if Gao Zhuang was willing, then before the spring ploughing, rent the family's land to others to plant, enough to pay the public grain for a year.
The world outside is vast, and there are countless ways to make money, and if you stay in the countryside, it will be difficult for several generations to cross the class.
Nowadays, in Xing'anling, there is also a primary school for children in nearby villages to read until the third grade, but in the late 90s, there will not even be this primary school, if you stay in the village, your own children will not have to read, or you will have to walk a long way to the town to study.
Resources such as education and medical care will gradually be concentrated in the city, so it is the general trend to move to the city.
Gao Zhuang is his good brother, he can't develop himself, but he doesn't care about his brother, he has to pull his brother when the society takes off.
Gao Mingcheng stayed in the county for another two or three days, and then decided to go back to Gaojia Village.
Due to the high-end positioning of the clothing store, it is destined that the business in the store will not be very busy, and with the addition of Deng Wanwan, Gao Mingcheng can rest assured even if he is not here.
People in the entire county know that this clothing store was opened by Gao Ju's nephew, so ordinary people don't have the courage to come over to find trouble, and there is still Gao Mingli at night.
When Gao Mingcheng drove his tractor back to the village, Huang Dazhi also asked for leave, bought a generous gift, and rode a bicycle from the police station to the woman's house.
However, the woman's family is in a small village to which Deng's hometown belongs, so the two did not meet on the road.
The village is generally developed, not very poor, and chestnuts are abundant here, and after entering the village, you can see chestnut trees everywhere.
At this time, the leaves of the chestnut tree have not yet grown, and they are bare and not so pretty.
Last time, a matchmaker brought him, but this time he came alone, and Huang Dazhi was still a little nervous.
The woman's family lives under a small bamboo mountain, the terrain here is not bad, because there is a naturally formed spring well at the bottom of the mountain, and there is excess well water gathered next to it to form a small pool, in the spring and summer when there is a lot of rain, the water of this small pool is full, you can wash clothes and bathe here nearby, save a lot of trouble.
Many of the people here do not have walls, and the family that Huang Dazhi looks at naturally does not have a wall, and they can vaguely see the situation of their family across a bamboo mountain.
The house is located at the bottom of the bamboo mountain, which has some advantages but also disadvantages, in the summer, it is cool here, and in winter, it can be very cold here.
When Huang Dazhi came over, the subject of his vision was sitting in front of the door mending clothes, and there were several pieces of clothing in the dustpan, as well as some rags.
She chooses the right rags according to the color and style of the clothes, and then carefully sews them up.
As the saying goes, three years of the new, three years of the old, and another three years of sewing and mending.
In the age of scarcity, there were few people who did not wear patched clothes.
Especially in families with many brothers and sisters, then the eldest may still wear new clothes, and the younger brothers and sisters at the bottom will not have new clothes to wear, they are all picked up old clothes to wear.
Sting!
Suddenly, perhaps her hands were heavy, and the fabric underneath cracked with a soft sound, indicating that the fabric had rotted and could no longer be worn.
Hey, she sighed, her face full of helplessness.
Her mother is 84 years old, so she caught up with the division of the field to the household, their family has a large population, and the fields are naturally more, but there are many children in the family and less labor, so life is not easy, plus last year's dry weather, the grain production in the field was reduced, and now the family has no money.
My younger siblings haven't had new clothes for years.
Suddenly, she saw a cyclist intrude, she froze, and immediately recognized who it was, her cheeks flushed slightly.
But she is used to doing farm work, and her skin is dark, and this redness is not obvious.
Huang Dazhi was also a little nervous and shy, but at this time, everyone was still very straightforward, so he directly explained his intentions.
"Uh, my dad is in the field, I'm going to call him back." She blushed, hurriedly put down the things in her hand, and walked away quickly.
Huang Dazhi was left here, which was even more embarrassing for a while.
He didn't dare to rush into other people's rooms, so he just stood outside and looked.
Their house is very ordinary, similar to Huang Dazhi's, but Huang Dazhi plans to give his parents a sum of money after buying a house in the county, so that they can repair the house.
After five or six minutes, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Huang Dazhi followed the prestige, but it was two and a half young boys, the eldest was twelve years old, and the younger was ten years old.
Huang Dazhi recognized them and smiled at them.
The eldest boy was more sensible, ran to the kitchen, and poured Huang Dazhi a cup of tea.
This tea is not just brewed, but the tea leaves are put directly into the boiling water bottle, so that it is hot tea to drink at any time, but the taste of such tea is not so good, plus the tea is homemade, with a bitter and astringent taste.
Huang Dazhi didn't dislike it, thanked him, and then politely took two sips.
He rode all the way over, and he was indeed thirsty.
"Do you have a crush on my eldest sister? Where will you live in the future? If I miss my eldest sister, can I go to her? At this time, the younger boy asked, and the older boy also looked at Huang Dazhi with bright eyes, obviously wanting to know the answer.
Huang Dazhi was a little embarrassed, but still said: "I work in the county police station, and if I get married in the future, I will also live in the county." ”
"Ah, you lie! You are so good, how can you fall in love with my eldest sister? Aunt Zhao in the village said that it is impossible for a man with good conditions to take a fancy to my eldest sister, saying that my eldest sister has a lot of oil bottles. The little boy said distrustfully.
Huang Dazhi smiled embarrassedly, although the other party was a little boy, he still explained: "I do work in the police station, but I am an assistant police officer, and I have not been regularized." On the other hand, I have a younger brother who has polio at home, and he has lost his labor force, and I will always take care of him for the rest of my life. ”
"Your brother's matter, the matchmaker also said it last time, as long as you fall in love with Luo Li and don't dislike our family." At this time, a calm voice sounded, it was Huang Dazhi's future father-in-law who came.
He is a silent and honest middle-aged man, not tall or short, thin and dark, and when he doesn't speak, he doesn't have much sense of existence.
But as soon as he spoke, he was able to let Huang Dazhi know that he was a very good talker, and it seemed that it would be easy to negotiate the bride price this time today.
This realization made Huang Dazhi breathe a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, when discussing the bride price next, the other party said: "I don't care what you want to prepare for Luo Li, just rely on your own will." You don't have to give me the bride price, it's just that you know what the situation is in my family, so there is no dowry for Luo Li. ”
No bride price!
It's pie in the sky! smashed Huang Dazhi unconscious all of a sudden.
He was stunned for a moment, and instinctively said, "It's not good to don't want a bride price......
"There's nothing bad about it, the family has dragged Luo Li for so long, and she should get married and live an easy life." The middle-aged man said, his face full of sincerity, without a little reluctance.
He is a person who loves children, but he is used to silence and does not say things like love you from time to time.
In order to take care of her younger brothers and sisters at home, Luo Li has been dragged to the age of twenty-two, and in the countryside, they are all old girls, and finally someone has taken a fancy to them, and Luo Li herself is not dissatisfied, so he hopes that Luo Li can get married as soon as possible and live her own easy life.
