Chapter 25: Eating Carp

Mrs. Zhou said: "Xiaole, this matter, I have already told my uncle, this is none of your business......"

Lu Xiaole insisted: "Auntie, you tell me, I want to know why!"

Mrs. Zhou looked at Grandpa Lu with some embarrassment.

Grandpa took a puff of hand-rolled cigarette, sighed, and said to Lu Xiaole:

"What else can I do? It's not because of your dad!"

Lu Xiaole was unconvinced: "What's wrong with my dad?" My dad doesn't steal or rob, and he's never been in jail. ”

Grandpa snorted heavily: "He didn't steal money and steal things, but he stole people!"

Lu Xiaole was speechless all of a sudden---- Maji's woman inquired really clearly, and even inquired about the good relationship between his father and Li Shuying.

Mrs. Zhou played a round next to her:

"I also told the woman, that was all about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds many years ago, and now the two of them have long been broken, and the praise brother has gone to the south to work, and now he is making a lot of money in the south, but the woman's mother just doesn't agree."

"Actually, I can't blame the woman's mother for this, her father was not honest when he was young, and the old couple almost didn't get divorced, and her mother also suffered in this regard, and she didn't want her daughter to suffer any more losses."

"Her mother also said that even if the boy's family is poor and the boy is not handsome, as long as there is no such thing at home, he can consider it, but he does not consider that there has been such a thing at home."

"What else do you say that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and people like parents are not honest, and children are not honest."

Grandpa snorted heavily: "Xiaole is not that kind of child!"

Mrs. Zhou smiled, looked at Grandpa Lu, and said with a smile:

"Uncle, don't you like to hear what I said. Look at your Xiaole, with peach blossoms in his eyebrows, he can't be honest. However, this child is handsome, and his daughter-in-law is not bad. ”

Grandpa looked at his grandson and sighed lightly, unable to refute it.

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said to Lu Xiaole again:

"Xiaole, don't be discouraged, there are many handsome girls, and there are dozens of them in the hands of the eldest mother. Ma Ji can't do it, and the aunt will find it for you. You see, the eldest lady brought all the photos, which one do you fancy, and the eldest lady will tell you to go. ”

Mrs. Zhou said, took out two stacks of photos from her handbag, and put them on the coffee table, one stack was full of young guys, and the other was full of young girls, and Mrs. Zhou put the photos of the young man in the bag, leaving only the photos of the young girls.

"Pick, pick."

Mrs. Zhou enthusiastically showed them to Lu Xiaole one by one.

Lu Xiaole lost his enthusiasm and said lazily:

"Auntie, forget it, let's talk about it later."

"Don't mind, if you don't want to choose, my aunt will help you choose. A few days ago, your grandfather gave me your photo, I showed it to a few girls, and several of them were very satisfied with you, as long as you wanted, the eldest lady will take you to the photo, let's pick one by one. ”

Mrs. Zhou said, picking out a few from the dozens of photos and letting Lu Xiaole watch them.

"Look at this girl, with a big face on a silver plate, a big fart and a thin waist, such a woman has the energy to work and can give birth to children."

"Look at this girl again, she has big eyes and a small mouth like a cherry, and she looks so handsome, if you can marry her, you will ensure that the young men in your village are red-eyed."

"And this, tall and tall, white and clean, white and tender pinch out of the water, we rarely have such a white girl in the countryside."

"Look at this again, thick eyebrows and big eyes, five big and three thick...... Oh oh oh, this is a picture of a boy, put it mixed ......."

Lu Xiaole was very enthusiastic, but he also took a few looks, among the dozens of photos, although most of them were ordinary and couldn't get into his eyes, there were indeed a few photos of the girls who were very beautiful.

But he was in a bad mood and had no plans to go on a blind date for the time being, saying:

"Auntie, let's talk about it another day, I'm a little tired and want to rest."

Before Mrs. Zhou could speak, the grandfather next to him snorted unhappily:

"What are you tired of? Tired also have to look. Do you think it's easy for your aunt to run? Gotta r'clock around you? Pick three or four today, and let your aunt lead you to a photo one another day, and strive to get married this year. ”

Grandpa rarely loses his temper with Lu Xiaole, and rarely talks to him in such a heavy tone as he does now.

Lu Xiaole knew that his grandfather was a little irritable because his son's affair dragged down his grandson's marriage, so he wanted to force his grandson to get engaged quickly.

Lu Xiaole didn't dare to refute his grandfather, and he didn't want to make his grandfather sad, so he had to pick a few photos and said to Mrs. Zhou:

"Auntie, these girls are not bad, tell me about it."

Mrs. Zhou smiled:

"Oh, Xiaole, you kid has a good eye, these girls are the most handsome girls in my hand, okay, don't worry, the eldest lady will tell you."

Grandpa said next to him:

"Don't just pick the handsome ones, the handsome ones can't be eaten, you still have to find someone who is serious and can live our rural life."

"His aunt, let's pick others, and others will pick us. When you talk about it, you also look at other people's conditions, people with good conditions, it's useless to say it, people don't like us. ”

"His aunt, I told you about the conditions of my family, and you know it yourself. My family is an ordinary rural family, and I don't have much money, but I can still take out the money for the child's engagement. ”

"His parents work in the south, and the two of them can earn a thousand or eight hundred a month, and he goes to work again, and he also has a salary of three or four hundred yuan a month. As for me, my body is still very strong, don't drag them down, plant some land, enough for me to spend on my own. ”

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said:

"Uncle, you don't need to say it, your family's conditions are considered to be in the middle of the middle in our countryside. You're a tough man, and your child's parents are still very young when they're both under 50 years old. The most important thing is that the child is handsome, don't worry, I will tell you a family with the right family and a handsome daughter. ”

"Uncle, I'm sure I'll eat this carp of your family!"

In the local customs, once the matchmaker becomes a matchmaker, the man must invite the matchmaker, and there must be a carp in the banquet, so "eating carp" is also synonymous with matchmaking.

Grandpa smiled: "Okay, then I'll trouble you, when it's done, I'll get you a big carp." ”

Mrs. Zhou said: "Uncle, after Xiaole and the woman are in love, when it's really time to get engaged, do you praise your brother and his family to come back?" ”

Grandpa said: "Don't worry about this, as long as the two children have no opinion, when the engagement comes, I will let them come back." Besides, if they don't come back, I'm an old man, and I can't get so many weddings, hahahaha......"

Mrs. Zhou also laughed.

At this moment, a crisp female voice came from the courtyard:

"Mom----"

When Lu Xiaole heard this voice, he first felt a little familiar, and then remembered that the person who came was Zhou Miao's daughter, his classmate: Zhou Qiaomei!
