Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 69 Inquire
"It's because you didn't get enough information. I'm so embarrassed this time. People had said that my son-in-law wanted to find a man with a formal job. When I went to tell Lao Jiang about it, he almost beat me up."

Matchmaker Zhang took a sip of tea and complained unhappily.

It doesn't matter whether this is true or not. Anyway, the responsibility for this matter cannot be put on her, otherwise it will bring bad reputation.

Yan Bugui scolded his son like that just now, didn't he think she could tell that he was angry with her?

Yan Bugui frowned and asked unhappily, "Aunt Zhang, that's not what you said last time."

Matchmaker Zhang sighed helplessly, then continued, "Yes, I said last time that I could give it a try, but Old Jiang already knew that your Jie Cheng was a temporary worker, so there was nothing I could do about it."

"Teacher Yan, this won't work. I won't take advantage of you. If you want, I'll bring another girl here to meet your Jie Cheng next time."

When she did this, Yan Bugui gave her one dollar as a matchmaker's fee, saying that he would give her another dollar after the marriage was successful.

Now that the matter has not been settled, she will definitely not return the money. She will just find another girl to meet Yan Jiecheng.

"Then I'll leave the matter of my family's solution to Aunt Zhang."

Yan Bugui knew that he would not get the matchmaker's money back, so he had no choice but to agree.

Every bit of money saved is a bit of money saved. The money spent on the matchmaker should not be wasted.

If his eldest son wasn't such a loser, he wouldn't have spent money to find a matchmaker.

"Okay then, wait for my news. I'll bring the right girl here if there's one."

Matchmaker Zhang didn't even wait for dinner and left immediately after she finished speaking.

As soon as Matchmaker Zhang left, Aunt Yan came into the room carrying two plates of food and asked cheerfully, "Old man, how is it going? When will Matchmaker Zhang bring someone over?"

Yan Bugui flicked his sleeves and continued with an unpleasant expression: "What are you doing? It's over!"

"People have found out that Jie Cheng is just a temporary worker, so he just dismissed the matter. Look at you, how can you be so disappointing? Look at Zhou Weimin, look at He Yushui, who in this hospital is as disappointing as you!"

Yan Bugui felt sad thinking that he had spent money but got nothing done. It was one dollar, enough to buy more than a pound of meat.

"Can you blame me for this? It's because you can't find anyone. Many of my classmates are now full-time employees."

Yan Jiecheng muttered in a low voice in dissatisfaction. He was still feeling upset because the Jiang family's business hadn't worked out, and his father still said that to him.

"What did you say?"

Yan Bugui didn't hear clearly, but he knew that what the boss muttered was definitely not something good.

Yan Jiecheng said quickly: "Nothing, nothing, I just said that matchmaker Zhang also said that she would bring a suitable girl here to meet, so the matchmaker didn't lose money."

"If you didn't want to find that Jiang Qiuna, could I find a matchmaker? Couldn't someone I know introduce you to someone? Let's eat! Call out all your brothers and sisters. You just mess around with me every day. You have to pay for the matchmaker yourself. Pay an extra dollar next time you get paid."

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses and directly counted the matchmaker's money on Yan Jiecheng's head.

"Dad, I only keep five dollars a month. If I give you one more dollar, it's not enough for food."

Yan Jiecheng had a sad face and tried to struggle.

"You eat at home every night. Three dollars a month is enough for your meals. Don't tell me these nonsense. You have to pay for your own affairs."

Yan Bugui was very clear about money matters, so there was no way Yan Jiecheng could cheat him.

…At the same time, at Jiang Honggui’s house.

"Old man, find out clearly, is Zhou Weimin, the buyer in our alley, really planning to find a partner? Don't let us be the only ones who are too enthusiastic when the time comes, because he is just saying it casually."

Jiang Qiuna's mother looked at her man with great concern. She didn't want to delay her daughter because of something that didn't happen.

Jiang Honggui soaked his feet and drank tea, and said comfortably: "His brother and sister said it to him in person, so it must be right. Zhou Weimin also asked me to tell matchmaker Zhang that he would send someone to his house after the New Year. Don't worry."

He had long wanted Zhou Weimin to be his son-in-law, but he had always said that he didn't plan to find one, so he had no choice. Today, he finally had to wait.

There are three technical secondary school students in the family, and they are also relatives of martyrs. Whoever enters their home will have a prosperous life.

"That's good, that's good. You have to keep a close eye on it. Let Matchmaker Zhang go there when the New Year is almost over, so that no one else can get there first."

Jiang Qiuna's mother was relieved to hear her husband say this, but she still gave him a reminder.

"Don't worry, I've already made an agreement with Matchmaker Zhang and paid her the money. No matchmaker will come to the house before Qiu Na goes to see the man. It's already the holiday, and no coworkers will introduce anyone to a date, so nothing will go wrong. After the seventh day of the New Year, let Matchmaker Zhang take Qiu Na over, and it will definitely work out."

Jiang Honggui said calmly that his daughter was beautiful and had a good personality, and he didn't believe Zhou Weimin would not like her.

At noon the next day, a general meeting of the entire courtyard was held in the courtyard.

It wasn't that anything happened this time, but this kind of event happens once or twice every year in the courtyard before the New Year.

Everyone gathered in the front yard, and three old men sat in the middle of the yard. In addition to tea cups, there were some melon seeds and peanuts on the table.

This time, the people in the yard did not stand. They brought stools and chatted with each other in low voices with their hands in their sleeves.

Zhou Weimin's three siblings took stools and sat next to Lou Xiao'e.

Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat and asked loudly, "Who else hasn't arrived yet? If everyone is here, we can start the meeting now."

"Xu Damao's grandson hasn't arrived yet. Who knows where he's fooling around."

As soon as the other side finished speaking, He Yuzhu started talking.

"Silly Zhu, how can you talk like that? Damao is showing a movie to his boss, stop talking nonsense here!"

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she immediately retorted.

Day after day, this idiot never says a good word.

"Hey, the factory is on holiday, why are we showing a movie for some leader? This is just fooling around, don't you think?"

As He Yuzhu spoke, his body swayed from side to side, not looking straight at all.

But his words did have some effect, and many people in the yard followed suit.

"That's right. If you can't come, just tell me. Why are you making so many of us wait for him in this cold weather?"

"If he doesn't want to come, then don't come. It doesn't matter if he's missing. Uncle, let's have the meeting quickly. People are freezing to death."

Lou Xiao'e immediately became anxious. She stood up and pointed at He Yuzhu and said, "Silly Zhu, you are just a cook, what do you know? You are on vacation, but the leaders are still busy. My Damao was assigned this task temporarily. If you continue to slander our Damao like this, I will go to the street office to sue you!"
