Return to 1980 and be a matchmaker

After eating and resting for a while, Zhang Xiuping went back with her family.

Generally, when a bride returns home after her wedding, she stays at her parents' home for three days and then is sent back by her relatives.

These three days were actually not that long, but for Deng Yuntai who had just tasted the meat, it was a very long time. He was really reluctant to give up. He sent people out of the village and continued to go. Send forward.

Seeing this scene, Zhang's mother was completely relieved.

When her daughter married into the Deng family, she had good food and housing. Her father-in-law was also a very sensible person, and the son-in-law was so reluctant to part with her daughter. Her daughter was really enjoying a blessing when she married here.

Not only was Deng Yuntai feeling reluctant to give up, Zhang Xiuping was also feeling the same way. After men and women have experienced the most intimate things, women are often more clingy than men. However, her reason is still there, and she will continue to move forward when she sees her husband. She couldn't help but said: "Brother Tai, just send it here. You can go back!"

Zhang's mother also smiled and answered: "Yes, Yuntai, don't send me anymore, go back quickly!"

Deng Yuntai stopped when he heard this, nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't send you off. It's still early. When you are tired, stop and rest for a while. There is no need to rush."

The two sides exchanged a few more polite words before Deng Yuntai stood there and watched Mother Zhang and her party leave.

……

more than three hours later.

Zhang's mother and her party returned to Poxin Village.

Seeing Zhang Xiuping coming back, the villagers greeted her warmly.

No matter what era we are in, most people actually dislike the poor and love the rich. When you are poor, not many people are willing to date you. When you become rich or successful, more people are willing to date you. You make friends.

As a well-known actor in later generations said: After becoming famous, you will be surrounded by good people.

Originally, Zhang Xiuping was regarded as the village beauty of Poxin Village, but in this era, she was too beautiful to be used as food, and her family conditions were not good. She was just an ordinary member of the village, and naturally she was not qualified to be looked at differently by others.

But things are different now. Everyone in the village knows that Zhang Xiuping married into a very well-off family, and her status in everyone's eyes is naturally different from what it used to be.

Even her parents and brothers' status in the village is much higher than before.

……

Zhang Zhenfa has a total of five brothers and sisters, not to mention his two married sisters. He also has two younger brothers, one is the fourth eldest (along with his cousins) named Zhang Zhenfei, and the other is the seventh eldest named Zhang Zhenyu.

At this time, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhang were cooking in the kitchen, while the three Zhang brothers were sitting at the door smoking and chatting.

After chatting for a while, the fourth child Zhang Zhenfei said: "Brother, I heard that in your in-laws' tile factory, even the lowest-paid mud picker earns 45 yuan a month, and the mud-treader earns 60 yuan a month. Is it real?"

Zhang Zhenfei blew out the smoke he had breathed into his lungs, with a smile on his wrinkled face, and said: "Of course it's true, but the highest paid ones are the vat masters. A son-in-law like me can easily earn the same amount in a month." A salary of more than 200 yuan is better than many people who have an iron job."

Zhang Zhenfei said: "Brother, your Shouguo and Shoumin have nothing to do now. You can ask Xiuping to ask your son-in-law to see if they can be arranged to work in the tile factory. Even if they are just a bricklayer, they can earn a month's income. 45 yuan, that’s hundreds of dollars a year, it’s better than anything else!”

Zhang Zhenyu echoed: "Fourth brother is right. If Shouguo and Shoumin can work in the cylinder tile factory, in one year, the two brothers can earn almost 1000 yuan. If they can work as clay workers, it will be more than 1000 yuan." With money, this is really better than anything else.”

Hearing his two younger brothers mention this matter, Zhang Zhenfa said regretfully: "Oh, I understand what you are saying. It's all my fault that I don't have a long-term perspective. When my in-laws came to talk about Xiuping's marriage, I shouldn't have raised such a high price." Then I can ask my in-laws to help arrange for the eldest and second son to work in the tile factory. How can I have the nerve to ask Xiuping to mention this matter to her in-laws or son-in-law?"

Zhang Zhenfei said: "Brother, what you did was indeed a little thoughtless, but you had no choice but to make such a decision at the time. I believe your in-laws can understand it."

Zhang Zhenyu thought for a while and said: "This matter can be slowed down for the time being. After all, Xiuping has just married. If he makes a request right away, it will inevitably make people feel uncomfortable. At least he has to wait until Xiuping has established a firm foothold in the Deng family. Finally, It would be more appropriate to speak after giving birth to a son for the Deng family."

Zhang Zhenfa put the chimney aside, nodded and said, "What Lao Qi said makes sense. If you want to make any demands, let's wait until Xiuping gives birth to a son for the Deng family!"

Zhang Zhenfei said: "This idea is right, but the tile factory is not short of people all the time. We still need to say hello to Xiuping in advance and ask her to help keep an eye on it."

Zhang Zhenfa hummed and said, "When Xiuping comes back, I'll talk to her about this first."

……

When Zhang Xiuping returned to her parents' home with her relatives, guests also came to Deng Yunjin's family.

This guest is none other than Zhang Kangmei’s Aunt Man.

Zhang Kangmei and Deng Changmei had already received their marriage certificates, but their wedding was scheduled for November 27 of the lunar calendar, which was the day after New Year's Day in 1981. Therefore, in the eyes of rural people today, they were not considered A real couple.

Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice Festival. According to current wedding customs, if a man and a woman have registered but have not served wine yet, during the festival, the man's family must send someone to welcome the woman back to celebrate the festival.Although the woman will most likely not go to the man’s house to celebrate the festival, the man’s family must have this attitude regardless of whether the woman goes or not.

The Deng Yunjin family also knew this rule, so they prepared a table of meals in advance to entertain Aunt Zhang.

After dinner, Deng Changmei naturally declined the invitation from Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang also knew this well.

After the two parties exchanged polite greetings, Aunt Zhang left with satisfaction after completing her task.

……

Since there is no electricity in the village yet, every house closes its doors after dark, and few people wander outside.

At this time, Zhang Zhenfa's family also closed the door to their home, and the family was sitting in the hall chatting.

Zhang Zhenfa remembered the conversation he had with his two younger brothers in the afternoon and asked, "Xiuping, is the tile factory your father-in-law opened in partnership with others still short of people?"

"There must be no shortage of people here. The wages in the cylinder tile factory are so high. Even the hardest worker who carries the clay does not know how many people are trying to get the job. How could there be a shortage of people!"

At this point, the smart Zhang Xiuping also vaguely guessed her father's thoughts, and she asked bluntly: "Dad, do you want me to get the eldest brother and the second brother to work in the tile factory?"
