Return to 1980 and be a matchmaker

After the woman and her party visited the house, Deng Shirong, the matchmaker, accompanied them to the hall to drink tea and chat. The food was ready until about eleven o'clock.

When the woman and her party were seated, they found that the food on the table was still very rich. The hard dishes included boiled chicken, egg rolls and pork belly, as well as Bobai stir-fry, vermicelli rolled tofu, cold kangkong, and spicy stir-fried millet. Cucumber peel.

Coupled with the sweet soup stewed with pork bones and lotus roots, a large table was filled.

Everyone was very satisfied with this meal. It was rare to have such a meal once a year.

After eating and taking a short rest, the woman and her party were ready to go back home.

The man tried to persuade her to stay, and then Deng Yunqiang and his wife took out the red envelopes and five flavors they had prepared and sent them to the woman and the matchmaker one by one.

Each person has a red envelope and a piece of five flavors.

In addition, Guan Yongying was given an extra piece of Wuwei to take back to her grandparents.

Among them, the heroine Guan Yongying received the largest red envelope, worth eight yuan.

The matchmaker's red envelope came second, also containing five yuan.

Everyone else will be given two dollars.

As for the weight of the five flavors, it is basically about two pounds.

The polite words between the two parties were ignored. After the woman and her party left, Deng Shirong also walked towards his home with the red envelope and Wuwei in hand.

Seeing the five big unity cards and the five flavors worth about ten yuan and two kilograms in the system space, Deng Shirong became more motivated. He had gained so much just by looking after the house. When Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying got married, he received a thank you from the matchmaker. On the day of the ceremony, the real harvest will be ushered in!

When he got home, Deng Shirong ordered: "Azhen, once the meat is cooked, put it away and drink the loofah broth in the afternoon. As for the meat, just put it away and eat it tomorrow!"

The day before yesterday I had stir-fried yellow pork, the day before yesterday I had fried bee pupae, and the day before yesterday I had pork chops. This food is good enough and I can slow it down a little, otherwise no matter how much meat I eat, it won’t be enough.

"Yes, I understand!" Deng Yunzhen responded and took the pork from his father's hand.

Deng Shirong saw that it was still early, so he picked up a straw hat and put it on, and then walked towards his third sister's house in Baoshan Village, Datong Brigade, under the scorching sun.

Deng Shirong originally had five brothers and sisters, one brother and three sisters.

Unfortunately, the family was in trouble. The eldest brother went to join the army during the Anti-Japanese War and never came back. The eldest sister died young, and the second sister also died of illness when she was ten years old.

Now, Deng Shirong only has his third sister left.

The third sister's name is Deng Shilan, who is three years older than Deng Shirong. If Deng Shirong remembers correctly, his third sister is now a grandmother, and his eldest niece was married three years ago.

The third brother-in-law's name is Bu Erzhu. Marrying him is both her luck and misfortune.

Fortunately, the third brother-in-law is very kind to his third sister. They have been married for decades, and the third brother-in-law has never spoken loudly to his third sister. This is relatively rare in an era when men generally have higher status than women. .

Unfortunately, it was the third sister who married into their Bu family, and she really suffered a lot from her mother-in-law. His third brother-in-law was good at everything, but he acted like an ostrich when it came to the issue of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which was annoying.

Of course, all this has long since passed, and the third sister's life has become much easier after the separation. Her mother-in-law passed away within a few years, and the third sister has never been angry again.

Generally speaking, the third sister's family is just a little poor, but everything else is fine.

Moreover, if Deng Shirong remembers correctly, the Datong brigade divided the fields earlier than the Bangjie brigade. Now the rice in the fields of Baoshan Village no longer belongs to the production team, but is divided to households.

In other words, starting from this season, the third sister’s family will harvest enough rice to “pay enough to the country, keep enough to the collective, and keep the rest for themselves.”

Anyone who has harvested rice knows that it is very heavy physical labor, because it is not only harvesting, but also carrying the rice back from the field one load after another.

This wet rice is very heavy. A full load weighs at least one hundred and nearly two hundred kilograms. It takes a lot of energy to carry load after load home.

At this time, if you continue to drink porridge and eat pickles as usual, then few people may be able to bear it.

It just happened that there were ten pieces of pork belly rewarded by the "Matchmaker Reward System", so Deng Shirong thought of taking two pieces of meat to see the third sister, so that the third sister and her family could replenish some energy when doing these heavy tasks, so as not to damage the body. Exhausted.

It was quite a distance from Naye Village to Baoshan Village. Deng Shirong walked for more than an hour before arriving at the entrance of Baoshan Village.

Seeing no one around, Deng Shirong's mind moved. Two pieces of pork belly appeared in his hands, and then he walked towards the third sister's house carrying the pork.

When he arrived at the third sister's house, he happened to meet his eldest nephew Bu Dashi returning with a load of rice.

"Uncle, you're here!" Bu Dashi, who was sweating profusely, put down the rice and greeted happily.

Deng Shirong hummed and asked, "Dashi, when did your family start cutting crops? Why don't you come and tell me, so that I can bring your cousins ​​over to help."

Bu Dashi smiled and said: "Our family just started cutting the crops today. We can finish the crops in a few days. There is no need to alarm my uncle and cousins. Besides, uncle and your production team are probably about to cut the crops." Alright?"

"Our production team decided to start cutting crops the day after tomorrow."

At this point, Deng Shirong handed over the pork in his hand: "I guess your family has also started cutting crops in the past two days, so I will get some pork to supplement your supplies."

Bu Dashi took the pork and said with a smile: "Hello, uncle. I haven't smelled meat for a long time. I can finally eat meat today. But one piece of meat is enough. Uncle, you can take the other piece back to me." Brothers and cousins, let’s eat!”

Deng Shirong took the hookah leaning against the corner of the door, took out tobacco and matches from his pocket, and said: "No, there is meat at home. Yesterday our village was doing community work, and I made two portions. Today I arranged for someone to look after the house, and they did it again." I gave you a five-flavored one, so you don’t have to leave it for me.”

Bu Dashi hung the pork and asked in surprise: "Uncle, are you still a matchmaker?"

Deng Shirong stuffed tobacco into the cigarette holder and said, "Well, I helped a neighbor of mine become a matchmaker. I've already visited the house today, so the matchmaker is done."

"Awesome!" Bu Dashi praised, and then said: "Uncle, please burn a few pipes of cigarettes first. My dad is probably on his way back. I will go to the field to call my mom back."

Deng Shirong said: "No need to shout, I will go with you to help pick a few loads of grain."

It's just an uncle. Bu Dashi and his siblings have been close to their uncle since they were young, so when he heard his uncle say this, he was not polite and nodded.
