"May I know who you are looking for?" It was Mrs. Lou who opened the door.
"Are you Mrs. Lou?" After all, Aunt Wang was very knowledgeable. She smiled and said,""My surname is Wang, and I'm a matchmaker. I'm quite famous in the streets near the rolling mill, as well as in the eastern suburbs.”
"Oh!" Mrs. Lou suddenly understood. So it was a matchmaker. But what was she doing at their house?
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Lou asked.
Aunt Wang chuckled and said," I recently received a commission from a young man. This young man's conditions are too good. I really can't think of any girl who can match him!"”
"I heard that Mr. Lou has a daughter who is dignified and well-educated. That's why I took the liberty to visit him and want to facilitate such a marriage!”
"What do you think?"
Mrs. Lou was interested. Lou Xiao'e was already 22 years old. It would be too late if she didn't get married. However, her husband considered the composition of his family and wanted to find a working-class man for Lou Xiao'e.
A maid in her family had a son who also worked in the rolling mill. He was now a projectionist in the publicity department. Their family was poor farmers.
They were still discussing this matter when someone actually took the initiative to come to their door today. They did not expect this.
"I see. Please come in and let's have a good talk!”Lady Lou naturally wanted to hear how good the conditions of the young man in the matchmaker's mouth were for the matchmaker to take the initiative to visit him.
Mrs. Lou led Aunt Wang to the living room on the first floor." Please have a seat!”Turning around, Mrs. Lou went to make tea and quickly brought it back.
"Things are different now.”
"Aiyo, if you want to talk about people like you, there's no need to talk about etiquette!”"Then let me tell you about this young man's situation first." Aunt Wang praised.”
"Alright, please!" Mrs. Lou sat down steadily after pouring the tea.
" This young man's name is Lin Feng. His father is a martyr. His family is a third generation farmer. They live in a courtyard with three rooms…" Aunt Wang introduced Lin Feng's situation." This child is very filial. I went to ask around today. After his mother fell ill, he gave up the opportunity to go to university…"
"I'm working while taking care of my sick mother. I didn't delay either of them. I'm now a third-grade mechanic with a salary of 42.50 yuan. It's enough to support a family, let alone myself!”
"Even if we give birth to a few more children, it will be enough to live in the future. What do you think of this condition?”
Mrs. Lou was quite satisfied. At least, her family conditions were much better than Xu Damao's. It was just that she didn't have parents or elders to help her.
"You're right, but can you wait for a moment? How about I discuss it with my husband?”Mrs. Lou couldn't make the decision.
"Alright, then I'll wait here!" Aunt Wang could clearly see that Madam Lou was moved.
Mrs. Lou turned around and went upstairs. Lou Bancheng was reading at home every day. It was a disaster year, and although their family didn't have to worry about food and clothing, they still needed to keep a low profile.
"Bancheng, a matchmaker came downstairs and introduced a young man…"
Lou Bancheng looked at his wife in surprise. What's the specific situation?"
Mrs. Lou said it again and finally asked,"Is this composition and condition better than Xu Damao of the Xu family?”
Lou Bancheng pondered for a moment, then shook his head.”
Mrs. Lou was stunned." Is it inappropriate?”
"Think about it. Lin Feng seems to be much better than Xu Damao now, but he's a frontline worker. If he wants to enter the administrative system, he has to at least reach level seven or eight before he can be promoted to workshop director!”
"But how long will that take?"
"I'm afraid that it will happen after the age of forty at the earliest!”
"But Xu Damao is different. He's in the publicity department. When he marries Xiao 'Er and has a child, our families will be completely tied together. At that time, I'll make some arrangements and he can easily become the head of the publicity department and officially enter the administrative system!”
"The rolling mill is a department level unit. With my help in the rolling mill, Xu Damao's ascension will be smoother!”
"Moreover, Xu Damao has his parents to help him out. Even if Xiao 'Er gets pregnant in the future, the Xu couple will take care of her. Lin Feng is alone.”
After Mrs. Lou heard it, she realized that her husband was thinking this way." I understand. Then I'll go back to her!"”
"Mm, be tactful!" Lou Bancheng continued reading.
After Mrs. Lou went downstairs, she said to Aunt Wang apologetically,"I'm really sorry. I didn't know that my husband had already promised someone else. That family and my family are old acquaintances…"
"It's okay, I'm late, sigh…what a pity!”Aunt Wang had seen a lot of people, so she naturally understood that the other party had rejected her. However, she could not figure out the specific reason. Perhaps he had better conditions?
"Then I'll take my leave!" Aunt Wang tactfully bid farewell and left. Madam Lou hurriedly took the ten yuan, but Aunt Wang said that she didn't want it and hurriedly walked towards Lin Feng's house.
……
At this moment, Lin Feng had already bought the vegetables and returned to the courtyard. As soon as he entered, he saw Third Master Yan Bugui.
"Yo, Lin Feng, did you buy a bicycle?”Yan Bugui's eyes lit up." You just said yesterday that you wanted to tidy up the house, and today you bought a bicycle. It seems that you really plan to get married!”
"Of course. I'm already twenty-four years old. I have three rooms at home and a salary of forty-two yuan and five cents. It's not difficult for me to get married now!”
"That's what happened!" Third Uncle Yan Bugui rolled his eyes." Lin Feng, look, on Sunday, can I borrow your car? If I catch a fish, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. How about that?"”
" Hehe…" Lin Feng laughed." Don't even think about it. The river is so dirty and smells like fish. I have to carry my partner in this car!"”
" Heh…" Yanbu Gui widened his eyes.
Lin Feng pushed the cart directly into the courtyard. As soon as he entered, he saw Master Zhao from the street construction team." Captain Zhao, you're too early. Didn't you say that you were going to finish your meal?"”
Lin Feng hurriedly pushed the cart over." There's no rush to eat. I want to confirm the matter before going home. Otherwise, I'll have to make a trip!"”Captain Zhao threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it.
"These are your three rooms, right? How are you going to clean it up?"
