The topic of the Siheyuan in the past two days has focused on Sha Zhu.

Everyone was waiting for the final notice of Sha Zhu's verdict, and was also watching when the deaf old lady would take action.

After all, the old lady had boasted to Xu Damao, so it was impossible for her to do nothing.

We are all old neighbors, so we naturally understand the deaf old lady's style of behavior. She likes to pretend to be deaf and dumb and take advantage of her age. When she is angry, she hits people with her cane or directly breaks the glass.

But he seldom brags and is the type of person who is ruthless and doesn't talk much.

Everyone is still a little afraid of this old lady, and there are some rumors privately, saying not to mess with this old lady, but the reasons are ambiguous.

Anyway, even if she is an ordinary old lady, no one wants to provoke her, so no one will investigate and just keep a distance.

As Sha Zhu has not come to a conclusion yet, everyone’s enthusiasm for watching the show is almost fading, but a new topic has arisen.

Because today everyone suddenly discovered that the eldest son of Mr. Yan's stingy family actually found a job, and he was working in the kitchen of a steel rolling mill.

Everyone knows that Yan Laokou doesn't have the ability to do this. He doesn't even have the face to find a temporary cleaner in the school, let alone a steel rolling mill.

They all guessed who he had asked for help, and made their own calculations in their minds. The first person they suspected was Cao Anping.

Some people even went to ask Yan Bugui indirectly, but were all fooled by him.

Yan Bugui remembered clearly that Yan Jiecheng relayed Cao Anping's meaning, asking his family to keep a low profile and not admit it even if it was an obvious thing.

Still counting on others to help them get a permanent job, the Yan family now dares not offend Cao Anping at all, and even gives up the idea of ​​taking advantage of him, for fear of losing the big picture for the small.

There were a few other boys of similar age in the yard, and they were all extremely envious.

They don't want to work because they are diligent, but because when they are around 20 years old, having a job gives them the right to choose their partner, and their status in the family will be completely different.

As soon as Yan Jiecheng started working, he invited a matchmaker to his house, hoping to take advantage of the bad harvest so that he could find a wife at a lower cost.

Some families that are short of food are eager to marry off their daughters, so that they can not only receive some gifts but also save food for one person.

The matchmaker he invited was Liu, the most famous matchmaker in the area. It just so happened that Yan Bugui was the teacher of his beloved grandson, otherwise she would not have been willing to take the job.

First of all, everyone in the neighborhood knew about Yan Laokou's family situation, and there would probably be no benefit in helping him find a marriage partner.

Besides, Matchmaker Liu was disgusted by Sha Zhu and was unwilling to come to this yard at all.

She had introduced Sha Zhu to a date before, but the other party looked down on her and the demands he made were just like making wishes.

Don't you know what you look like? You think you are already 40 years old, but you still complain that this girl looks like Zhu Bajie's second aunt and that girl looks like the White Bone Demon with no breasts and no butt.

Do you really think you can just pick any chef in the city?

Those who come from well-off families and are good-looking have no shortage of food, so they don’t care about you, an ordinary cook.

Matchmaker Liu entered the Yan family, looked at the glass of water in front of her, frowned, and thought that it was just as the rumors said, he was reluctant to even give her a cup of tea.

However, she was still very professional and asked politely: "Teacher Yan, please tell me your family's requirements, and I will see if there is a suitable girl."

Yan Jiecheng quickly said, "She has to be good-looking."

Yan Bugui glared at his son before saying, "First of all, he needs to have a city hukou."

He didn't want to follow the Jia family's example and find a rural wife. Although she was hardworking, she didn't have a ration and her children also had rural household registration, so it would be a loss for them to buy expensive food.

Matchmaker Liu nodded. This was normal. Most city people only date city people. Unless they were extremely difficult to find, no one would be willing to go to the village to find a partner.

Yan Bugui continued: "You also need a job."

Matchmaker Liu frowned again. These young girls already have jobs, but they are a scarce resource, and most of them are educated and were assigned jobs after graduation.

After all, most of the stable jobs are passed down to male descendants.

She asked patiently, "Anything else?"

Yan Bugui quickly added: "Of course he has to be filial, have a good temper, and look decent."

Matchmaker Liu thought for a moment and replied, "There are very few single young women like this. Tell me about your family's advantages and the issue of the gift. When I find a suitable one, I can give her a brief introduction so that we can arrange a meeting."

Yan Bugui said without hesitation: "My family is a scholarly family with strict family education. My child is also handsome. Now he has found a job and can learn cooking in the future. It can be said that he has a bright future.

As for the betrothal gift... The Jia family in the middle court pays five yuan for a daughter-in-law, so my family will double it and pay ten yuan."

Matchmaker Liu almost got angry. All the things she said were nonsense. If she found an ordinary woman from the countryside or without a job, these empty words might be able to fool people.

But the Yan family's requirements are so high, do they think others are fools? They just want to get something for nothing, and they want to get a working cow or horse.

However, she has seen many strange requests, so she will not rush to refute them.

At least he is not like Shazhu, who wants to find a wife who looks like his neighbor's sister-in-law and has a job, saying that he cannot be worse than others. Isn't this nonsense?

Matchmaker Liu looked around the room and asked calmly, "Where do you plan to live after you get married?"

Yan Bugui paused for a moment before replying, "Uh... let's live together for now, but don't worry, Jie Cheng will be able to become a regular employee soon, and then we can move out and live separately."

Matchmaker Liu asked curiously, "Why are you so sure? As far as I know, it is very difficult for temporary workers in factories to become regular employees."

Yan Bugui lowered his voice and said, "Of course it's related, otherwise how can my Jie Cheng find a job now?"

Matchmaker Liu was a little skeptical, but she believed it reluctantly. After all, it was almost the New Year, and it would be difficult to arrange work at this time without some connections.

She nodded and said, "Okay! I've got it all in mind. I'll select the best suitable young women to go on a blind date with your Jie Cheng.

By the way, my hard work fee should also be clarified first.

In this area, my reputation is obvious to everyone, and the rules are clearly marked. I give two dollars first, and if the blind date is successful, I will pay another six dollars, for a total of eight dollars.

If it is unsuccessful, the two dollars will not be refunded, but it will be considered as a reward for the hard work. I will choose another suitable blind date for your family, but I will only choose five times in total. "

Yan Bugui was secretly shocked, thinking that the other party was so cruel that he actually wanted eight dollars, and he wanted money even if he failed. That was such a loss.

He wanted to bargain, but Yan Jiecheng was afraid that his father would do something bad, so he kept coughing and interrupted the conversation, then agreed first:

"There is no problem with these, please pay more attention to it, auntie."

Yan Bugui glared at Yan Jiecheng fiercely, his mouth moving silently.

Yan Jiecheng knew what his father meant. It seemed that he was going to put the money into his own account again.

He was helpless and could only nod in agreement. This time, he hadn't received his salary yet, but the amount of money he owed was increasing.

Yan Bugui took out two dollars and handed them to Liu the matchmaker, feeling quite reluctant.

Liu the matchmaker took the money and felt a little better. She stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first. I'll let you know if there's any progress on this matter."

Yan Bugui collected his thoughts and replied with a smile: "That's troublesome, take care, I'll see you off."

When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I ran into Cao Anping who was pushing his bicycle up the stairs.

The two parties greeted each other and passed each other. When Liu the matchmaker saw Cao Anping, her eyes lit up and she asked:

"Teacher Yan, when did this young man come to your yard? How come I didn't know?"

Yan Bugui really didn't want to say it. Introducing Cao Anping in front of the matchmaker would be like comparing his own son to nothing good.

But he didn't dare to say anything bad about Cao Anping, so he could only vaguely say, "That's Dr. Cao who just moved in not long ago. He's not old enough yet, so don't have any ideas about him.

Otherwise, Director Wang from the Street Office would have introduced him to someone long ago."

Matchmaker Liu was interested, but she could only keep Cao Anping as a resource for the time being.

One still needs to know more about the situation before matchmaking, which is why she has a good reputation.

Unlike some matchmakers who just rely on their mouths to make nonsense, they just want to earn the gift money, and they don’t care whether the couple is suitable or not, or whether they are happy or not.
