Chapter 283 Uncle Jiu, I want to be a matchmaker for your daughter [Request for subscription]
Suifeng Hotel.
After eating and drinking, Mrs. Zhu put down her chopsticks and said: "Xiaojie, you are 24 years old this year and your job has stabilized. It's time to find a wife. When I was in my hometown, I invited you many times." The matchmaker helped you find a partner, but even I didn't like the girls the matchmaker found, so I never told you.
Now that you have brought us two old guys to live in the county, I am going to find a partner for you here in the county. What do you think? "
Zhu Junjie nodded and said, "Okay, mom, you can figure it out. If you're ready, let me take a look. If it's suitable, get married."
As his parents are getting older, what they look forward to most is that he will get married soon and have children. Of course, he will not let them down.
Seeing that her younger son had no objection, Mrs. Zhu said with great interest: "I have become familiar with visiting the county these days. Later I will go to the government family home to talk to the aunts and see them or their relatives." Do you have any girls of the right age?”
Zhang Guoan smiled and said: "That's a coincidence. This Suifeng Restaurant is owned by the girl I told you about and her father. You went there to eat yesterday. Maybe you have already met this girl!"
Mrs. Zhu said: "He joined the army just after he turned 18. He is already 24 this year."
Deng Shirong responded and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, if you are willing, you can come to my place at any time. If nothing else, it will be no problem for you to eat and drink well every day."
Zhang Guoan asked: "Ah Biao, almost everyone who lives here comes in and out every day, and I am almost familiar with them. How come it seems like I've never seen you before?"
"It's really disturbing to mention my son. He went there in 1978, and ended up going to the battlefield the next year. We didn't know the news until he successfully retreated from the battlefield, and we almost lost my mind. Scared to death.”
Old Mrs. Zhu exclaimed: "Oh, it turns out that big hotel is owned by her family. This is incredible. That hotel is really big. This is the first time I have seen such a big and high-end hotel." Where’s the hotel?”
The people in Xincun were introduced to work here by their sixth uncle. This year, the boss raised their salary. Her monthly salary is now 30 yuan, including meals in the hotel, and a year-end bonus. This treatment is put aside The county seat is already a very good job.
Mrs. Zhu pointed to the door of the Public Security Bureau and said with a smile: "I live inside!"
Zhang Guoan gave a thumbs up. Promotion during wartime is naturally different from promotion in peacetime, especially when meritorious service is achieved.
After that, the two sides chatted for a few more words, and then Mrs. Zhu went back full of expectations.
Zhang Guoan had an expression that was as expected. No matter what industry you are in in this era, there is a huge difference between the educated and the uneducated. The same military exploits placed on an uneducated soldier may be promoted to company commander or even platoon leader. It's over, but for a high school graduate, he was promoted to the deputy regiment level for the first time.
How could Old Mrs. Zhu be dissatisfied? She nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, of course, I'll bother you, Biao. You have to say something nice to my son when introducing him!"
Old Mrs. Zhu said with a smile: "He graduated from high school but didn't go to college, so he became a soldier."
"Your son chose to retire like this. (Let me explain here, demobilization is actually a form of military discharge, but demobilization is aimed at officers and can only be used on officers. Just like carp is also a fish. You are correct to call it carp. It’s not wrong to call it a fish. It’s a pity. If you stay in the army, you really have a bright future. But I think you are too young to let the child go. This proves that you are a filial child!”
Old Mrs. Zhu looked stunned, and then asked: "Which brigade of our commune are you from?"
Zhang Guoan knew which war it was as soon as he heard it. Knowing that the other party's son had been on the battlefield like him, his attitude became more enthusiastic and said: "A Biao, you went to the battlefield to serve the motherland. You are such a good son. Yes, I also fought against Japanese soldiers back then.”
Zhang Guoan smiled and said: "Ajuan, your boss is a rare good boss. You have to work hard here and don't be lazy. Do you understand?"
Zhang Guoan smiled and said: "Your son is so outstanding, are you afraid that he can't find a satisfactory wife?" Old Mrs. Zhu said with a headache: "It's really not easy to find this, a girl with average conditions, I don't like it, but It’s not easy to find a good girl. I just arrived in the county and I don’t know anyone. I don’t know who to ask for help.”
Jiu Shu certainly has no shortage of pipes, but not every hookah is made to this level.
But then again, it only takes six years for a new recruit to be promoted to deputy regimental commander. Even in wartime, it is not an easy task. It must be a combination of multiple factors for this miracle to happen, otherwise it would be impossible to be promoted. Got it so quickly.
However, she really has no idea of getting married for the time being.
Suifeng Hotel.
Hearing the other party's inquiry, Mrs. Zhu smiled and said: "Of course, I came here to borrow the chimney from Biao."
Mrs. Zhu said: "That's a bit far away. I'm from the Shanxin Brigade."
Zhang Guoan hummed and said, "I will also ask my acquaintances in the Public Security Bureau tomorrow to see if there is such a newly appointed deputy director recently."
Mrs. Zhu said proudly: "You are now the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, and you are very good-looking. If the woman's family does not have any strength, how can it be worthy of you!"
Hence, she was grateful from the bottom of her heart to Uncle Liu.
When Zhang Guoan heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved, and then asked: "Biao, how tall is your son? What does he look like?"
Just as the two were drinking and chatting, Deng Yunzhen's voice came over: "Uncle Zhang, come in and sit down. My dad and Grandpa Zhang are drinking over there!"
Deng Yunzhen just said it, but she didn't feel inferior at all.
Deng Shirong became interested upon hearing this and asked, "Brother Zhang, what's going on with the other party? Tell me quickly!"
Zhang Guoan is also a veteran. He naturally knows that if he is an ordinary soldier, he will usually retire after three years. Those who can continue to stay in the army are basically officers and cadres, so he asked: "Biao, what was your son doing when he was in the army?" What’s the level?”
Zhang Guoan took a piece of white-cut pork belly and tasted it, and then briefly introduced: "Uncle Jiu, this young man is also from your Songshan Commune. He is 24 years old, 1.74 meters tall, with a high school education. He just turned eighteen in 1978. He joined the army at the age of one, and went to the battlefield when the war broke out in 1979. He fought bravely on the battlefield, and was awarded second-class merit. In addition, he was young and educated, and was a key talent of the army, so he was promoted to deputy regiment at a young age. level.
Zhang Wenjuan nodded and said, "I understand, Uncle Liu."
Thinking of this, Deng Shirong asked: "Brother Zhang, are his parents difficult to get along with? And what is his personality like?"
Just when Zhang Guoan closed his eyes and shook his head, listening to the buzzing sound coming from the hookah, an old lady's voice came over: "A Biao, your hookah is really well made. The sound is so comfortable to listen to." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Guoan opened his eyes and found an old lady standing in front of him out of nowhere. He couldn't help but smile and said, "My chimney is really well made. Biao, would you like to burn some cigarettes?"
While the three of them were joking, Zhang Wenjuan also came over with bowls and chopsticks, smiled and said hello: "Uncle Six!"
Zhang Guangzong picked up the wine and touched it with Deng Shirong, then looked at Deng Yunzhen, who had been sitting silently, and said with a smile: "Azhen, if this young person is really reliable, then you have to seize the opportunity, such an outstanding person It’s really hard to find young people.”
Deng Shirong nodded and said: "Okay, then I won't go anywhere tomorrow. When the old lady comes out, I will discuss this matter with her in detail. If there are no problems, then arrange for the two young people to meet."
Old Mrs. Zhu nodded and said: "You are right, my son is indeed a deputy director."
His hookah was accidentally made by a master. When he smoked, the sound of the water in it was very pleasant, and even if he stopped smoking, the pleasant sound would still sound for a long time before it stopped. This made him While smoking, you can also enjoy this unique music, which is a rare enjoyment.
Zhang Guoan couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, and asked: "Ah Biao, has your son made great achievements on the battlefield?"
As soon as these words came out, Deng Shirong, Deng Yunzhen and Zhang Guangzong were all surprised.
24 years old, deputy regimental level.
Although Mrs. Zhu is illiterate, she just went to Suifeng Hotel for dinner yesterday. She still memorized the name of Suifeng Hotel and nodded: "Of course I know this. My son took us to eat there yesterday." It’s a meal!”
Deng Yunzhen couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this. She has been a bit evil recently. Not long ago, a matchmaker came to her door and wanted to match her, but the man was rejected at her father's level. She didn't expect that even Uncle Zhang would want to match her now. Talked about matchmaking.
"So this is ah!"
Zhang Guoan felt relieved after hearing this and said: "Listening to what you said, I have a very good girl here who may meet your requirements."
At this point, Zhang Guoan added and asked: "With your son's rank in the army, he is at least a political commissar or deputy director in the Public Security Bureau, right?"
Unexpectedly, when I walked over, I heard the music-like thumping sound coming from the hookah, and then I praised him.
Old Mrs. Zhu was in awe when she heard this. In their time, those who had fought against the Japanese were all heroes of the motherland.
…
As for her education level, I haven't asked her about it, but her family is full of educated people, so her education shouldn't be much different. "
Zhang Guangzong took a sip of wine and said: "Azhen, don't be too modest. You have a good personality, gentleness and virtuousness. You also have a father who is a big boss and a younger brother who is destined to have a bright future. Don't say he is just the deputy director. Go up a level or two and you'll be worthy of him."
Zhang Guoan smiled and said: "What do you think, Biao? If you think it's okay, then I'll talk to her dad about it later."
Zhang Guoan said in agreement: "Yes, Zhen, don't ignore your advantages. Your father, brother and younger brother are all your strongest backers."
Several people looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, and then shook their heads to show that they were not impressed.
Zhang Guoan once again reached out and pointed diagonally across the street and said, "I'm talking about the eldest daughter of your fellow villager in Songshan Commune. This girl is two years younger than your son. I heard her father say she is 1.62 meters tall. She is dignified and delicate, gentle and virtuous, and she looks like a prosperous husband at first glance. She is also good at doing laundry, cooking and everything. For more than two years, she has been doing her best to help her elder brother and sister-in-law take care of their children.
Mrs. Zhu smiled and said: "That's true. This is a fellow villager and a neighbor. I really should go and say hello. I wonder if she is at home?"
Deng Shirong was drinking and chatting with Zhang Guangzong.
Of course, there is another important reason. With the changes in the domestic and international environment, the construction of our country's army has also undergone earth-shaking changes. In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army, superior leaders are determined to implement the command of the three generations of old, middle and young people in the army. system to make the military’s senior leaders younger and more knowledgeable.
Such a young man is really too good to be true.
As soon as she mentioned this, Mrs. Zhu became very proud and said with pride: "This guy is quite up to date and has become the deputy commander of the army. If he hadn't worried about us two old guys, he would have stayed in the army to continue. Damn, there’s really some future!”
Zhang Guoan smiled and did not dwell on this matter. Instead, he said to Deng Yunzhen: "Azhen, please sit down and listen. The main reason I came here is to talk to your dad about your marriage, and I am going to do it for you." A matchmaker.”
Thinking of this, Zhang Guoan asked: "A Biao, your son's educational level should not be low, right?"
Zhang Guoan suddenly said: "I see, your son is a soldier, and I was a soldier before."
Because the other party’s accent is almost the same as Uncle Jiu’s.
Mrs. Zhu’s eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly urged: “Biao, what kind of sister you are, please tell me quickly.”
Zhang Guoan pointed to the opposite side and said with a smile: "Across the way, your fellow Songshan Commune people live. I often deal with them, and I know the accent of your Songshan Commune people quite well."
Zhang Guoan praised: "It's true that a hero comes from a young age!"
Deng Shirong quickly greeted: "Brother Zhang, this way."
Ever since her youngest son joined the army, Mrs. Zhu felt a sense of intimacy when she saw the soldiers. She originally just came to borrow a chimney to burn a few cigarettes and then left. After learning that the guard in front of her had also been a soldier, she stayed and chatted with him. got up.
After changing his career, he was also the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau.
Deng Shirong continued: "A-Juan and A-ying work very hard."
In our country, the language is the most interesting. We also speak Hakka. The Hakka here in Bobai is very different from the Hakka in Meizhou, Guangdong. Even if they are both Hakka in Bobai, the differences between communes are different. Time also has its own language characteristics.
"Her mother seems to have been gone for a few years. Her father said...you know the Suifeng Hotel? It is the largest and most upscale restaurant in the county."
Zhang Guangzong laughed and scolded: "You're a good boy, you dare to make fun of me!"
Deng Shirong was also a little surprised: "Brother Zhang, where are you from?"
Old Mrs. Zhu said proudly: "A Biao, I'm not bragging to you. My son is 1.74 meters tall and very handsome. There are really few people in our village who can match him."
While speaking, Deng Yunzhen brought a plate of boiled pork belly and said with a smile: "Master Zhang said that Uncle Zhang, you like to eat this and braised pork ribs. He is making braised pork ribs for you now."
However, because his parents were old, in order to come back to accompany them in their later years, he resolutely gave up his great future in the army, changed his career and came back. Now he serves as the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. It can be said that he is truly young and promising. "
Zhu Junjie followed his mother and said, "Mom, you are right, then I will wait for you to find a satisfactory partner for me."
The eldest sister's son in front of me was able to be promoted to the deputy regiment in just six years, and this is absolutely indispensable for this reason.
“This old seventeen!”
Old Mrs. Zhu acted confident. Women usually take part in such matters, so Mr. Zhu remained silent throughout the whole process and gave up the stage to the old lady.
Zhang Guoan judged that the other party was from Songshan Commune based on this language feature.
Zhang Guoan smiled and said: "Third uncle, don't worry, I know it in my heart. If the young people I say are not outstanding, how can I have the shame to tell Azhen!"
Zhang Guoan handed over the chimney and asked: "Biao, your accent sounds like you are from Songshan Commune?"
Zhang Guoan laughed and said: "Uncle Jiu, it's settled. If I get tired of watching the door, I will come over and eat and drink with you."
There are so many diners coming in and out of this restaurant in a day. Unless there is something special about the diners, no one will take note of this.
Since he invited Zhang Guangzong to the hotel, Deng Shirong would sit down and have a drink with him whenever he had nothing to do in the county town.
Zhang Guoan walked over and sat down with a smile, looked at Zhang Guangzong, and joked: "Third uncle, you are really enjoying your little life. If I had known, I would have quit my job in the court without notifying you." If I take refuge with Uncle Jiu, I can drink leisurely every day like you."
Mrs. Zhu said: "My son just returned from the army not long ago and was assigned to work here. Of course you have never seen me before."
Zhang Guoan smiled and said: "Don't worry, your son and I are both soldiers, and I also hope that he can find his own happiness."
Zhu Junjie couldn't help but smile and said: "My mother is very discerning. She even went to the government family home to help me find a partner."
Deng Yunzhen showed a shy smile and said, "Grandpa Zhang, I am just an ordinary person. People who are so outstanding may not necessarily think highly of me."
…
Zhang Guoan sat on a low stool, with the hookah leaning on his shoulder. He took out a handful of tobacco from the pipe with his right hand, rolled it into a small ball and stuffed it into the cigarette holder. Then he took out a match and stuffed it into his mouth. He entered the big smoking port above, lit a match, lit the tobacco, and started smoking.
Mrs. Zhu said with a smile: "I heard that he has achieved second-class merit!"
Because of this common topic, the two of them chatted very speculatively.
This is also the reason why Deng Shirong often comes to him to smoke whenever he is in Bobai.
As long as these two points are confirmed, it will be a rare and good marriage.
After all, he fully meets the two characteristics of being young and knowledgeable. In addition, he is brave in combat, has achieved second-class military exploits, is valued by the leaders above, and then promoted quickly, so that this kind of miracle can happen.
Old Mrs. Zhu took the chimney and said with some surprise: "A Biao, you are very good. You can tell from the accent that I am from Songshan Commune."
The power of knowledge is clearly revealed at this moment.
Mrs. Zhu sighed and said: "I originally thought he would come back after serving as a compulsory soldier for three years, but I didn't expect that he would be away for six years. Now he is 24 years old, but he doesn't even have a wife. His nephews all got married last year. Yes, I’m so worried.”
At the entrance of the court.
The old lady has lived in the Songshan Commune area for decades, and she only recently followed her younger son to live in the county. Since she doesn’t have many contacts with other communes, she really doesn’t pay much attention to the differences in the accents of each commune. , naturally it is not clear that it is easy to distinguish.
After the conversation was almost finished, the family settled down and left.
The courthouse and the Public Security Bureau are facing each other. Old Mrs. Zhu walked out of the Public Security Bureau and was about to walk to the Government Family Home. She saw a cousin opposite smoking. She was addicted to smoking and decided to go there. Come here and borrow the chimney to burn two tubes of cigarettes.
Deng Shirong and Zhang Guangzong followed the sound and found that Zhang Guoan was here.
Deng Shirong said: "Then it's settled, let's continue drinking!"
Zhang Guoan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if I have no impression. The main reason I came here is to say hello to Uncle Jiu first. If you think this young man is really good, then let's find someone to inquire about his details and see what the facts are like with his mother. Is there any discrepancy in what he said?”
This time Deng Shirong was really interested. The other party was an excellent soldier. There was no need to examine his moral character. What needed to be noted was whether his parents were difficult to get along with, and whether he was compatible with his daughter's personalities. .
Zhang Guoan said: "We are in the same commune, but we are not far apart."
Old Mrs. Zhu became more and more satisfied as she listened, and couldn't help but ask: "Biao, what do her parents do?"
At the end of the conversation, Zhang Guoan asked: "By the way, how old is your son, Biao?"
It was Zhang Guoan's turn to be surprised at this and asked: "Neighbor? Biao, do you live near here too?"
Zhang Guoan said: "He is from Bangjie Brigade."
"Amazing!"
“Uncle Jiu, I actually don’t know this because I’m not familiar with him either.”
Next, Zhang Guoan recounted the conversation between him and Mrs. Zhu, and finally said: "This young man brought his parents to your restaurant for dinner yesterday. I just don't know if you still have any impressions?"
This old lady is none other than Mrs. Zhu.
Zhang Guangzong interjected: "Lao Liu, with Azhen's conditions, if you want to be a matchmaker, you have to name a very outstanding young man. If the conditions are average, don't talk about it and it will be embarrassing."
After all, her family's income last year exceeded 100,000 yuan. She has a father who is so good at making money, and a brother who is so good at studying. If it had been someone else's nose, she would have turned upside down. It would be good if she didn't look down on others. How could she be afraid? Being looked down upon by others?
After chatting about the business, Deng Shirong and the other three turned their attention to the wine. It was rare for the three of them to get together to drink, so naturally they wanted to enjoy themselves.
