Return to 1980 and be a matchmaker

Knowing that she was going on a blind date today, Dai Fanglan got up early and did all the work she had to do before taking the time to dress herself up.

When it comes to dressing up, it actually means putting on clean clothes with fewer patches and a better-looking hairstyle than usual. There is nothing else. Even the shoes on my feet are made of rags. .

Just such a pair of ugly cloth shoes that even beggars of later generations would dislike. Dai Fanglan usually treasures them and is reluctant to wear them, because it is not an easy task to make such a pair of cloth shoes, which means the weather is too cold to bear or Only when I encounter more important occasions, I am willing to wear it.

Unlike the girls of later generations, let alone blind dates or dates, they just go out to get together with friends. In addition to the essential makeup, clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry and other things must be carefully matched, and hairstyle is even more important. I don't know how long it will take to do it.

Dai Fanglan did not have such conditions. A clean dress with few patches and a pair of homemade cloth shoes were the only things she had in her bag.

As for hairstyle, Dai Fanglan usually wears the simplest ponytail. Today, after all, she is going on a blind date. She also spent a lot of time to braid two braids. This is already the most difficult hairstyle for her.

Around 09:30 in the morning, Deng Shirong rode his bicycle to Dai Fanglan's house.

After exchanging polite words and sitting down to smoke two pipes of cigarettes, Deng Shirong took Dai Fanglan and Dai's mother to Shuangwangwei.

The place where Deng Shirong arranged for their blind date was still under the big banyan tree, and the blind date operation was basically the same as before.

After the man and woman "passed by each other" several times, Deng Shirong asked: "Changwang, can you see everyone clearly?"

Deng Changwang nodded and said, "See clearly!"

Deng Shirong asked: "How do you feel?"

Deng Changwang said hesitantly: "Jiu Gong, I don't know how to describe him. I just think he's pretty good, but he doesn't have the feeling that makes my heart beat."

Deng Shirong reached out and patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Changwang, there is not so much love at first sight in this world. Things like feelings can be cultivated slowly. The most important thing is that the personalities of the two people should be compatible, so that only after marriage You will be happy, but if your personalities are incompatible and you have a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days, that kind of marriage will be meaningless."

Changwang's mother is also a person who has been here before and said in agreement: "Uncle Jiu is right, the most important thing is to have compatible personalities."

Deng Changwang pondered: "Then let's try further contact?"

Deng Shirong said: "Since you can't make up your mind now, let me treat you to dinner today. Later, I will arrange for you to have more contacts. Then I will decide whether to look after the house."

For the first two times he acted as a matchmaker, Deng Shirong had the support of memories from his previous life, so he was naturally confident. This time he acted as a matchmaker for the first time in a real sense, and he was also very cautious in his heart. He felt that he would let them interact with each other a few more times before making a decision. , it is indeed necessary.

Deng Changwang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, nodded and said: "It's best this way. Contact her a few more times first, and you should be able to tell whether they are suitable for each other. It will be less likely to make mistakes when the time comes to make a decision."

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll go and tell them to have lunch together."

"Okay, if they agree, we will go to the state-owned hotel to eat together."

The news that Deng Changfu invited the woman to a state-owned hotel for dinner when they met each other, and that Deng Changmei was invited to have dinner by the man at a state-owned hotel when they met, is no longer a secret in Naye Village today. Deng Changwang is the youngest son in the family, and the eldest brother and the second brother have already After starting a family, three sisters got married in succession in the past few years, allowing his parents to save a lot of money.

Even Deng Changfu, whose family was not as well off as his, was willing to invite the woman to a state-owned restaurant for dinner when they met. Deng Changwang had no reason to lose to him in this aspect, so this time he went out to meet the woman. Deng Changwang and his parents had reached a consensus that as long as he had a relationship with the woman, If you plan to have further contact, invite the other party to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.

Deng Shirong was also a little emotional when he heard this. Before he started working as a matchmaker, men and women in the village basically ate at rice noodle stalls or small restaurants when they went on blind dates. As a result, the three times he worked as a matchmaker, he always ate at state-owned restaurants, which directly increased the number of people on blind dates. Treat standard.

……

3 minute later.

When Deng Shirong came to the woman's side, he asked directly: "Alan, you can see people clearly, how do you feel?"

Dai Fanglan is a thoughtful person, unlike other girls who are shy and embarrassed when talking about their lifelong events. She smiled and said, "I feel okay. I wonder if he has taken a liking to me?"

The man's family background is much better than hers, and her father also asked someone to inquire about him yesterday. It turns out that the man is indeed what the matchmaker said. As long as such a person is not too good-looking, she has no right to despise him. .

Deng Shirong did not answer directly, but smiled and said: "The man wants to invite you to a state-owned hotel for dinner!"

Hearing this, Dai Fanglan and her daughter, who knew the unspoken rules of blind dates, breathed a sigh of relief.

……

After dinner at the state-owned hotel, the process began. Although Deng Changwang had not yet made a decision, since he had the idea of ​​continuing to contact him, he would naturally not be stingy when he gave the woman a red envelope when they met for the first time. .

In addition to the indispensable five-flavor and candy cakes, the red envelope given to the woman is five yuan, and the matchmaker and the woman's mother each receive three yuan, which is already beyond the normal standard.

After Deng Shirong gave the red envelope to Dai Fanglan and his daughter, he began to ask Dai Chunqing, the head of the family, about his daughter's net worth.

Dai Chunqing had already discussed his daughter's worth with his wife in the past two days, and when the matchmaker asked, he brought it up.

Among them, the price is 360 yuan, the grain is 360 kilograms, and six new clothes are made for the woman. Other than that, there are no other requirements.

After hearing this, Deng Shirong nodded and said: "Okay, I will tell the man's parents this truthfully. There is one more thing I want to make clear to you in advance. Next, the man hopes to have more contact with Alan a few times to cultivate a relationship in advance. I hope you will become parents." can understand.”

Dai Chunqing couldn't help but frowned when he heard this and said, "Uncle Jiu, I'm afraid this is not in line with the rules, right?"

Deng Shirong said: "Now that the country advocates free love between men and women, we parents cannot restrain our children with the previous concepts. Even if they meet in private, they are just talking about their ideals, and they are not doing anything that is disgraceful to the family tradition. I'm sorry. Don’t be overly nervous.”

Dai Chunqing hesitated and said: "This... I'm afraid that others will gossip."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "I am the matchmaker with them. We can communicate with them openly. Who would gossip?"

Dai Chunqing thought about it and felt it made sense, so he agreed to the matter.
