The times are changing, but some customs in the countryside have not changed, the kind third aunt is a well-known "matchmaker", when I was a child, she was that kind of loud voice, can say back, always can praise people's blush, therefore, also fell a good woman who does not annoy people. The third uncle is an honest man, a lifetime of diligence and earnestness, at home to listen to the three aunts, but outside but raised their eyebrows, the village people envy the name of the third uncle, married a woman who knows the book.
Time flickered a few decades, I am now forty years old, and the three aunts are almost 60 years old, don't look at her is a rural woman, wearing gold and silver, a look is the dress of a rich woman, of course, she can be so generous, can not do without her clever mouth.
Within a radius of tens of miles, almost every household knows the name of the third aunt Xiu'e, as long as guojiazhuang's Xiu'e is mentioned, everyone praises it one after another, because everyone wants to have a good relationship with Xiu'e, so that his son's marriage will be half guaranteed.
I am in the hometown of the nineteenth day of the Waxing Moon, this year because of the epidemic, the company took a holiday in advance, and at this time on the way back to the village, there is no shortage of luxury cars parked, such as what Land Rover, BMW, the villagers have become more and more wealthy over the years, but also because the people in our village are good at doing business, from workers to small bosses, every household is richer.
Before we reached the intersection, my parents, brothers and nephews were there to greet our returned family, and this was the case in our place, when our children returned from afar, parents and relatives at home would greet us at the intersection. And the third aunt's house is only separated from my home by a wall, she saw me back, shouted loudly: "Xiao Bao is back, and he has lost a lot of weight, he must not have eaten well outside, tomorrow morning to the third aunt's house to eat, to make you the favorite pig head meat when you were a child." ”
I replied, "Third aunt, I will come to your house tomorrow morning to eat pork head meat, and I have brought you gifts and new clothes." ”
The third aunt smiled happily and asked me again to be sure to arrive tomorrow morning.
When we got home, we said, "Your third aunt doesn't mention how busy she is, from morning to four o'clock in the afternoon, there are four or five groups of guests at home." ”
In fact, for my mother said these, are not strange, the three aunts every new year, is the big red people in the eight villages, many young people of the right age can not find a partner, will come to the three aunts to help, not only the boys' family, the girls' family also hope that the three aunts to find a suitable son-in-law for themselves.
After dinner in the evening, I talked to my parents about some of the experiences of the past year, and my wife and younger siblings looked at clothes on the Internet and unconsciously talked about the problem of marrying a daughter-in-law now. The sister-in-law inadvertently interjected, "Xiao Jun, you see how lucky you are, when you married me, you didn't ask for a penny of dowry, you didn't have a car and no house, and you will be good to me in the future." ”
This sentence makes the younger brother a little shy, to tell the truth, thanks to the three aunts, the sister-in-law was introduced by the three aunts, because it is the family, a meal of flickering, and finally really did not want a bride price, and even married a car. In recent years, through their own efforts, the couple has bought a house in the county, changed several cars, and the children have studied very well.
The next morning, I went to the third aunt's house with the gifts I bought in advance, and in our place, I came back to see the baby years ago, and I "visited the door" after the year.
The third aunt is a real person, what to say, never hide from me, don't look at the fifty people, good maintenance, good mentality, can't see that she looks old.
The third aunt said that in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer people getting married, girls are becoming more and more picky, the bride price is less than 88,000, more than 300,000, and she, the matchmaker, from the previous piece of red quilt noodles, to now as long as it is said, it will get 20,000 yuan of benefit fees, and every time she comes to the door, she will take the best gift. Like what Chinese tobacco, Moutai wine, etc., poor can not get their hands.
The three aunts usually do not work in the field, the work in the family is done by the three uncles, fortunately, the three aunts are not so domineering women, housework and cooking are three aunts, the husband and wife have a clear division of labor, and the three aunts cook very delicious.
The third aunt complained to me, recently there are many guests in the family, she has to cook four or five meals a day, fortunately, there is no work in the cold winter moon field, the third uncle can play a hand.
When I asked how much the matchmakers had earned this year, the third aunt laughed happily and said that she must have earned more than you, and I then asked: How much is that? The third aunt held out four fingers to me, I probably understood, the annual income of 400,000, this is not a small amount, in the whole village can not find a few women can earn so much money, in addition to Liu Datuo's second daughter to do business, the annual income of millions, is really rare.
Looking at my doubtful eyes, the third aunt said: "I am still ready to increase the price next year, saying that I want 30,000 yuan, this year's daughter-in-law is not easy to marry, there are many rich men, don't say thirty thousand, as long as it is said, fifty thousand will be given." ”
And in the middle of eating, there was a car at the door, honked the horn, and then three men, two old men, a spirit boy, with cigarettes and alcohol, came in, and the three aunts hurriedly began to greet, it was only a little more than eight o'clock in the morning, and I was not anxious to eat, wanting to hear how they talked.
The eldest brother who came here said that his son is 28 years old, a civil servant, with a monthly salary of four or five thousand, has a house in the city, has a car, does not smoke, does not drink, and does not play cards...
The third aunt said that the child is very good, what kind of thing you want, height, weight, skin color, sisters, education...
I didn't expect to introduce the object now need to know so much detailed information, this is what I did not expect, the guest stayed for more than an hour and left, when the time came, also gave a big red packet, look at the thickness, it should be two thousand yuan.
After taking the guests away, the third aunt said to me: "Xiao Bao, didn't you eat?" These people rush to eat, like his family, it is difficult to find a partner, many girls are not willing to marry civil servants, they like to do business as bosses. ”
Listening to the introduction of the third aunt, I jokingly said: "Fortunately, I got married early, if I had put it on the old bachelor who is now proper." ”
The third aunt was not happy and said, "With your third aunt, can you beat the bare stick?" You and your brother are both powerful, educated, and able to do business, and Nuwa is rushing to marry you. ”
After a moment of greeting, I went home, my mother did not have to ask what we talked about, just arrived home, I heard the three aunts' family and several cars in a row, it seems that the three aunts' family are lined up, and the daughter-in-law after this is really not good to marry.
