In the first month of 1985, Chihe Town.
Pig butcher Yun Laosanjia.
"Her Aunt Qian! You have to help with this. I can't think of anyone else who can do it except you."
"Oh, my third brother, it's not that I don't help, it's just that your daughter's name means coquettish, but she's not coquettish at all!"
Matchmaker Qian put the cigarettes and wine on the Eight Immortals table, and reluctantly took out fifty yuan from her pocket.
All these money and goods were delivered to her home by Yun Laosan the night before. For no other reason than to let her find an in-law for her daughter.
She wants to collect things, and she also wants money.
But I had a busy day yesterday and visited no less than ten houses.
As soon as people heard that the woman was Yun Laosan's daughter Yun Tianjiao, their heads shook like rattles.
No matter how much she said good things and talked badly, no one was willing to answer her, and they didn't even want to meet her.
As soon as Yun Laosan heard this, his heart dropped, but he still didn't die.
"Aunt Qian, why don't you try again? You can see that my daughter's appearance and figure are not outstanding!"
Matchmaker Qian couldn't refute this.
When it comes to Yun Tianjiao's appearance and figure, no one from all over the country would recognize her as the second best, but no one would dare to recognize her as the first.
But the key is that she doesn't look like a girl!
Can you believe that a pretty girl is actually engaged in the business of killing pigs?
Not only that, she also sterilized pigs (sterilized piglets)!
The movements were so swift that the young man couldn't help but cover his crotch when he saw it!
It's okay if it's just killing pigs, it's just a way to make money.
But she had a terrible temper. It is said that someone teased her a few words, and she shouted at her face with a machete!
At that moment, not to mention smashing the person's mouth, even three teeth popped out!
Who dares to marry such a girl who is always ready to use a knife?
"Brother Third, seeing that you are worried about your daughter's marriage, I will tell you the truth!"
"If you want your daughter to get married smoothly and have a grandchild as soon as possible, then ask her to change her career as soon as possible! It's best to change her temper too."
"You are a girl. You can cook, wash, and bear children. Only if you are gentle and submissive can you find a husband!"
As soon as Matchmaker Qian finished speaking, she saw someone walking in.
The visitor was wearing a red-soled yellow floral vest, a pair of black trousers, and a pair of old cotton shoes with the same color as mille-layer soles.
Her hair was thick and shiny, and turned into a braid hanging behind her back. Her skin was white and pink, and her two big eyes were like a pool of spring water, making people unable to look away.
Matchmaker Qian was stunned when she saw it, thinking that this beautiful face was really wasted!
Just as Yuntianjiao stood at the Eight Immortals table, she stepped on the big bench and inserted a boning knife on the table.
He leaned forward to face her, his handsome face half-smiling.
"Qian Matchmaker, have you heard a word?"
Seeing her posture, Matchmaker Qian felt very disgusted.
What's the use of being beautiful? It's okay if you stand still, but your true nature is exposed if you move.
When the girls saw the matchmaker coming to their door, they were very ashamed. How could she be like this? She just didn't care about calling someone, and she even put her feet on the bench!
Matchmaker Qian was disgusted in her heart and asked coldly on her face.
"What words?"
Seeing her asking, Yuntianjiao smiled even more.
"It's better not to win, not to guarantee, and not to be the matchmaker for three generations."
Matchmaker Qian was angry when she heard this.
"Well, Yuntianjiao, I kindly protect you as a matchmaker, but you cursed me for three generations!"
Seeing that he had offended the matchmaker and found it difficult to find a husband for his daughter, Yun Laosan quickly apologized.
"Her Aunt Qian, don't be angry. The child is ignorant. I will teach her a lesson later!"
Matchmaker Qian pointed an angry finger at Yuntianjiao and shook her head, and stopped calling her brother.
"Yun Laosan, stop working so hard. This girl like you can't get married. Prepare to be an old girl for the rest of your life!"
After saying that, she turned around and walked away, almost tripping as she passed the threshold.
Seeing her posture, Yuntianjiao laughed even louder "Hahaha".
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw her father picking up a clothes-beating stick and hitting her.
Seeing this, Yuntianjiao stopped smiling and immediately put her feet down and hid on the other side of the table.
"Old man, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing? I'll beat you, an unfilial daughter!"
As Yun Laosan said that, he chased after him, and the father and daughter circled around the table while trying to hide.
Beaten? Yuntianjiao was unconvinced.
"Why are you beating me? I'm not wrong. She only asked about money to secure a match, and she just went ahead and got it together without asking if it was suitable. Hasn't she harmed too many people?"
She was young after all, and even after running for a while she didn't catch her breath.
But Yun Laosan failed, and soon he couldn't run while holding on to the table.
In fact, it's not that Yun Laosan doesn't know the virtues of money matchmakers.
But he knows his daughter's temper better, and he won't suffer any loss if he follows her.
"That's better than not being able to get married!"
Seeing me sitting down, Yuntianjiao simply stopped.
"Old man, I'm twenty-five and I'm not going to be buried soon. Why are you so anxious every day?"
"Am I going to accept whatever crooked things she introduces to me?"
Yun Laosan got married late and was already in his mid-thirties when he gave birth to his only daughter.
Unfortunately, my wife passed away early, and my daughter was only in her teens, so he had to rely on him to raise money by killing pigs.
Seeing that girls her age had already gotten married and had children, and she was still killing pigs at home, Yun Laosan was very anxious.
"Is twenty-five still young? You are twenty-five in real terms, twenty-six in falsehood, twenty-seven in hair, and you are already thirty!"
As he said this, Yun Laosan wiped away a handful of sad tears.
When she was named Tianjiao, it meant that God gave her Jiaojiao.
Well, it’s okay if you’re not a coquettish person. His quickness in killing pigs is even better than that of me!
When I was a child, I would go up trees to dig out bird eggs and go down to the river to catch fish and shrimps.
Even when he was seven or eight years old, he still competed with boys in the river, shirtless, in a dog-peeping competition.
Girls can, but she may not.
But boys can do it, except standing up to pee, she can do it!
Yun Laosan regretted it to death now. She shouldn't have been allowed to touch the knife because of lack of manpower.
At this thought, he felt even more regretful and began to cry and sing.
"Old lady, you'll be cleansed by kicking your legs. You'll suffer the consequences if you leave me, a lonely old man alive~"
The noise the two men made at home was not small, and it directly alerted Widow Sun next door.
Seeing Yun Laosan holding a mallet and crying with snot and tears, Widow Sun quickly persuaded him.
"Oh, Third Uncle, those people have no vision, why are you beating Yunjiao!"
Seeing that she was here, Yun Laosan said, "Forget it, she doesn't look like a girl at ordinary times. Today she even scolded the money matchmaker. Is this okay?"
This is true, the money matchmaker is a walking loudspeaker.
He is very sharp-tongued. He can fool you with bad things and confuse you with good things.
If you offend her, your reputation will be over.
Yun Tianjiao was already well-known, but if she was further enhanced by Matchmaker Qian, she might really end up being an old girl in this life.
But the matter has come to this, and if you say anything out loud, it will be like water thrown out, and it is impossible to take it back.
In this case, Widow Sun could only continue to persuade.
"Third uncle, please relax! Our town is so big, how can we not find a young man with vision?"
"What's wrong with Tianjiao killing pigs? That's for eating! What's wrong with being bad-tempered? Why don't you let others bully us?"
"You should just let nature take its course and don't worry about it."
With Widow Sun, Yun Laosan finally looked better.
When it was over, Widow Sun pushed Yuntianjiao out the door again and changed her tone.
"Why are you so stubborn with your dad every day? If you make him mad, let's see who will love you again!"
Yun Tianjiao knew that she was doing it for her own good, but she still refused to accept it.
"I'm not wrong..."
"Hey, okay, okay, you can go out for a walk if you have nothing to do. How can you meet the young man if you don't go out? There is no guarantee of a matchmaker, so we can find it ourselves!"
Widow Sun's words spoke to Yuntianjiao's heart.
"Old man, look at it! I will find the best son-in-law for you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she went out and planned to go to the market.
Chihe Town is neither big nor small.
There are several streets in front of and behind the market. Although they are all old neighbors, Yuntianjiao does not know them all.
Just when I was thinking about buying some food for lunch, I heard someone making noise not far away, and there was a circle of people watching the fun.
Anyway, I have nothing to do, so Yuntianjiao might as well go over and take a look.
"Father pays his debts to his sons, Gu Yanshu, you are also a top student, don't you understand this?"
