Return to 1980 and be a matchmaker

Deng Yunjin’s family.

Deng Shirong took out a pack of candy biscuits from the carton, took out five yuan, handed it to Deng Changmei's sister-in-law, and said, "Sister-in-law, this is sent to you by the groom's family."

The sister-in-law took the five yuan and candy cookies with some surprise, and couldn't help but praise: "As expected, three generations of our ancestors are carpenters. This is a generous gesture."

The sister-in-law also knows the unspoken rules of the acquaintance. Normally, if a man likes a woman, then those who follow them will have a bag of candy cookies, but the red envelope is basically one or two yuan.

But now the Zhang family not only invited them to eat at a state-owned restaurant, but also sent her a red envelope worth five yuan, which was indeed very generous.

Deng Shirong smiled when he heard this. As a matchmaker, the man is awesome, and he naturally has face with the woman. This proves that the person he introduced to the woman is as good as he said.

"This is the red envelope sent by the man to Amei. There is also a pack of candy biscuits and a strip of five flavors in the carton." Deng Shirong took out a big unity card from his pocket again, then patted the carton in front of him and said.

Deng Changmei took the big unity card from Jiu Gong's hand, and she was very satisfied with the man's family's generosity. If you were to get acquainted, you could get a ten-dollar red envelope. Looking at the whole Naye Village, you probably wouldn't be able to find another one. From this, it can be seen that The family introduced by Lai Jiugong is really good.

Deng Yunjin and his wife, as well as their other sons and daughters-in-law, were all watching, and they were all shocked by the Zhang family's generosity.

Ten yuan in this era is comparable to 2000 yuan in later generations. This can be understood by converting the labor price. Take the mud picker in Deng Shirong's cylinder tile factory as an example. He can make money from picking mud from morning to night. Just one dollar and fifty cents.

For such a job, there are still many people in the village competing to do it.

In future generations, it would not be too much to earn 300 yuan a day for such hard work, right?

As for ten yuan, today's mud pickers need to work hard for more than six days to earn it. In later generations, if they can work so hard for more than six days, it will not be difficult to earn 2000 yuan.

Thinking about blind dates in later generations, the red envelope sent to the woman for the first time was two thousand, and the matchmaker and the people around the woman each had one thousand. This is quite generous in rural areas. How many families can afford this? test?

Therefore, when Deng Shirong asked Deng Yunjin and his wife for their opinions, they both said that as long as their daughter liked it, they had no objection.

Deng Shirong, who knew it well, smiled and said: "Since we don't have any objections, let's talk about the value!"

After getting acquainted, once the woman agrees to have dinner with the man, the next step will definitely be to talk about net worth. This is something that everyone knows.

Therefore, Deng Yunjin did not avoid this issue and directly put forward the conditions that the couple had discussed long ago: "In terms of price, our family will need three hundred and five hundred catties of grain. My family, Amei, will definitely have to make several sets of clothes." My mom, Mei, who has a bicycle, also wants one, so these are basically the requirements.”

Deng Shirong nodded after hearing this. This condition was not considered a big deal. In rural areas of this era, a net worth of two to three hundred yuan was considered standard, and a grain of three to five hundred kilograms was normal. Needless to say, a few sets of clothes were necessary.

As for the request for a sewing machine or a bicycle, some people don't mention it, and some people do. However, it is worth mentioning that these things are not requested for the mother's family, but are kept by the woman for her own use after marriage.

As soon as Deng Yunjin finished speaking, his wife added: "Uncle Jiu, the production team is busy dividing the fields now. My Amei will definitely get the fields and remarry. This must be made clear to the groom's family first."

"Okay, I understand. I will make it clear to the groom's family."

Deng Shirong took the hookah and said, "The marriage registration can be done after Amei receives the land, but the housekeeping can be arranged first."

Deng Yunjin nodded and said: "As long as the man has no objections, it depends on the family. Uncle Jiu, you can make arrangements."

Deng Changmei had been listening carefully to her parents discussing her marriage with Mr. Jiu. They just met this morning. Only half a day later, they had already negotiated the price and were ready to look after the house. The speed made her heart tremble. .

Fortunately, her parents wanted her to wait until she received the land before marrying, so there would still be a long buffer time and she would not get married in a hurry.

Deng Shirong burned two tubes of cigarettes before putting the chimney away. He stood up and said, "That's it for now. Tomorrow I will make your requirements clear to the man. If the man has no objections, then we can make a decision. It’s home time.”

……

Songshan Commune.

Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying received their marriage certificate smoothly.

In this era, the legal age for marriage between men and women is 22 years old for men and [-] years old for women. It will be until the new marriage law is released in September this year that the legal age for marriage will become [-] years old for men and [-] years old for women.

After receiving the marriage certificate, the two are legally husband and wife.

However, rural people today are still relatively conservative in their thinking. Although Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying are now legally married, their relationship with each other is still the same as before, and they do not dare to have too many intimate actions.

The main reason is that rural people nowadays do not value the piece of paper. They all assume that they become husband and wife after serving wine.

Therefore, even if the two get a marriage certificate, Guan Yongying will not live in Deng Changfu's house, and will not live together until they have served the wedding wine.

"Yongying, I just saw someone selling maltose over there. Do you want to eat it?" Deng Changfu put away the marriage certificate very preciously and asked.

Maltose is the childhood memory of many people. Guan Yongying was also a little greedy, so he nodded and said: "Then go buy some and try it!"

Next, the two went to buy a piece of maltose, and then walked around Songshanwei together.

In this era of inconvenient transportation, it is rare to visit Songshanwei, so Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying naturally wanted to take a good stroll.

Although Songshan Fair is not as good as Longtan Fair, the number of people attending the fair in each fair period is eight or nine times more than that of Shuangwang Fair, so its market area is still quite large, and people come out to do business on the fair day. There are also more people.

As the two of them walked around, they smelled a strong aroma of garlic.

Deng Changfu looked over and found someone selling Gaizhen (dustpan cooking, one of the most famous snacks in Bobai County). This thing tastes quite good, but it can only be eaten on August [-]th all year round. It won't be long. I really missed eating, so I looked at Guan Yongying beside me.

Just at this time, Guan Yongying also turned to look at him.

At this moment, the couple's brain waves were obviously on the line, so they walked towards the stall selling dustpans and cooking pots.
