Return to 1980 and be a matchmaker

Less than 50 meters away from the big banyan tree, Deng Shirong met Guan Yongying and her aunt Man.

After meeting, Deng Shirong asked directly: "How is it? Did you see clearly?"

Guan Yongying said with some embarrassment: "I just took a look, but I haven't seen it clearly yet."

Deng Shirong had a smile on his face and said, "It doesn't matter. If you don't see it clearly, let's look at it a few more times until we see it clearly."

Seeing Uncle Jiu coming over, Aunt Guan knew that the man must have made a statement, so she asked, "Uncle Jiu, what did the man say?"

Deng Shirong said with a smile: "People think Yongying is good and want to treat you to lunch. Let me ask your opinion."

When the official aunt heard this, she couldn't help but look at her niece.

There are many unspoken rules for blind dates in this era.

In the Bobai realm, blind dates are roughly divided into three steps. The first step is for the matchmaker to arrange for the man and woman to meet. This step is called "getting acquainted."

After getting acquainted, if both men and women express satisfaction, the matchmaker will ask the man how much the woman is worth (betrothal gift) and other requirements.

If the man is willing to meet the woman's price and various requirements, the matchmaker will arrange for the woman to take relatives and friends to the man's house to see the situation of the man's family. This step is called "housekeeping."

Housekeeping is actually a bit similar to engagements in other places. Generally speaking, once you reach the stage of housekeeping, the marriage will most likely be successful.

Occasionally, if a woman regrets it, she must pay back exactly what the man has spent since the blind date. Even if there is even a penny less, the woman will be stabbed in the back.

If he wants to cheat and refuse to pay back the money, the man will ask the brigade cadres to deal with it. In this way, the woman's reputation will be completely ruined. Most women will not be stupid enough to take this step.

After looking after the house, the next step is to discuss choosing an auspicious day to get married. Marriage here generally refers to serving wine. This is the last step of the blind date.

As for registration, you can register at any time as long as you pay the price.

In this three-step process of dating, the first step of getting acquainted also has its unspoken rules. If the man is not satisfied with the woman, he will basically send a red envelope and generally not treat her to dinner.

If the man asks the matchmaker to come forward and invite the woman to have dinner together, it proves that the man's first impression of the woman is good and he hopes to develop it further.

At this time, if the woman's first impression of the man is good, she can agree to eat the meal. If the woman doesn't like the man, she will find an excuse to refuse and not go to the meal.

Therefore, Aunt Guan immediately looked at her niece, wanting to know what her niece had decided.

When Guan Yongying came out for the blind date, her parents had already explained the details clearly to her, so when she saw Aunt Man's questioning eyes, she said shyly: "I didn't see you clearly just now. Eat If you don’t want to eat, wait until I can see clearly!”

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Okay, let's walk back and forth one more time and take a good look before talking."

So, the group of three people walked towards the big banyan tree again.

Ten minutes later, when Deng Shirong and the other three walked back and forth to the big banyan tree, Deng Shirong asked again what he had said before about eating together.

This time, Guan Yongying, who had seen clearly, no longer avoided it and nodded slightly towards Aunt Man.

After receiving her niece's suggestion, Aunt Guan made the decision and agreed.

……

Although Shuangwangwei is a polder city with little presence, as the saying goes, although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, there are still some people engaged in catering in this polder pavilion with an area of ​​only more than 500 square meters.

Among them, there are three noodle stalls, which are the most economical and the most visited. After all, a bowl of noodle now only costs a few cents, so most people can still afford it.

Of course, noodle stalls in this era not only sell noodles, but also operate various kinds of stir-fries. Generally speaking, the prices are relatively affordable, so business is very good.

It was rare to meet a girl he liked, so Deng Changfu didn't intend to treat her to a meal at the noodle stall, and took her directly into the state-owned hotel.

He also listened to Jiu Gong's advice. When they went out for a blind date, Jiu Gong told him not to save money when it was time to spend it.

Like going on a blind date and inviting her to dinner, this is something that a girl will remember for a lifetime, so you must be generous and give her enough face.

If the two of them get married in the future, his wife's face will light up when she mentions this matter to others, and then you will understand how worthwhile it was to spend the money.

Although Deng Changfu has not yet understood this, Jiu Gong has eaten more salt than rice, so he must be right.

So for today's meal, Deng Changfu planned to spend a lot of money.

The moment they walked into the state-owned hotel, both Guan Yongying and her aunt showed satisfaction.

The state-owned hotel is definitely the most upscale hotel in Shuangwangwei at present. Being able to have a meal here is an enviable thing. Deng Changfu is willing to invite them to eat here, which is enough to show his attitude towards her. .

When Deng Changfu took his order, not only Guan Yongying was satisfied, but even Guan's aunt thought this young man was good and really generous.

Deng Changfu ordered six dishes in total, a plate of plain-cut chicken, a plate of sweet and sour pork, a pot of pork offal soup, a plate of landscape tofu, a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of seasonal vegetables, a pound of local rice wine, three With meat, vegetables and wine, this is already a very good dish for entertaining guests.

While eating, Deng Shirong guided the conversation: "In a few days, our production team will start cutting crops. Aunt Awu and your production team should cut crops around this time, right?"

Aunt Guan nodded and said: "It's almost the same. Our captain has already informed all members to make preparations."

Deng Shirong said: "Since some members of the Shilong brigade of Nabu Commune took the lead in implementing household contract farming last summer and achieved a bumper harvest, many members of our Bangjie brigade wanted to follow suit. However, there was no instruction from superiors. The brigade cadres did not dare to say this.

Now a year has passed, and the Shilong Brigade is getting better and better. Not only is the food harvest great, but other side jobs are also flourishing, and the economic income has been greatly increased.

Spurred by this, other brigades also began to divide their fields and work alone. What is the situation of our Bangjie brigade? Aunt Awu, do you know? "

Aunt Guan said: "I heard from my Awu that the cadres of our Bangjie Brigade have also come up with the idea of ​​letting everyone divide the land and work alone. As for when to start implementing it, he didn't tell me much."

Deng Shirong said: "As far as I know, after each production team has finished harvesting the crops, the cadres of the brigade will start to distribute the fields to households!"

"Uncle Jiu, is this news reliable?"

"Reliable, once the allocated fields are delivered to each household, everyone will have a bright future!"

……

The five of us ate this meal for nearly an hour before leaving. Changfu's mother left for nearly 10 minutes and then came back with a cardboard box.

If it is a blind date later in life, the man will have to send red envelopes when the woman leaves.

But in this day and age, it is impossible for a man to send red envelopes to a woman in person. Instead, he gives the red envelopes and other gifts to the matchmaker, who then sends them to the woman's home.

Therefore, after the woman left, Changfu's mother brought the cardboard box she had brought back to Deng Shirong and said, "Uncle Jiu, here are two pieces of pork belly and three pieces of candy cakes that I bought. I have already divided them up." Okay, how can I give you an idea?"

While talking, Changfu's mother secretly gritted her teeth and took out ten yuan from the inner pocket of her pants, divided it into three parts, three yuan each, five yuan each, and two yuan each, "Uncle Jiu, this is a red envelope for you. It’s that girl’s red envelope, it’s her aunt’s red envelope.”

Deng Shirong took the money and said with a smile: "I know what to do. You go home and wait for my good news!"
