While Gao Mingcheng was busy hunting in the mountains, his good brother Gao Zhuang was also busy.
He was busy going on blind dates.
At the end of the year, it is a good time for families to visit each other. Not long ago, my aunt and uncle, who were tall and strong, took their children back to the village to give New Year gifts to my grandma. Then they talked about some situations in the village over there. What girls of the right age.
Gao Zhuang's uncle is also a carpenter, and he and Gao Zhuang's father were originally friends. Later, after marrying Gao Zhuang's aunt, the two families became even closer.
Now that Gao Zhuang's parents are gone, his aunt and uncle love Gao Zhuang very much and care about his life-long events.
So today, his tall and strong aunt took him to a girl's home to visit her.
Generally, the boy goes to the girl's home to see each other. If the girl is interested, he will go to the boy's home accompanied by his elders to see the specific situation in the boy's home.
If everyone is satisfied, then we can talk about marriage.
Nowadays, it is not as good as in ancient times. There is no need for three matchmakers and six betrothals. You only need to find a suitable match and get married quickly. After negotiating the betrothal gift and dowry, choose a good and auspicious day to get married with wine!
When Gao Mingcheng finished handling the wild boar, it was almost dark. He put the treated pork into a bamboo basket, and put the pig waste into a bucket, and carried it back to Grandma Xini's house.
Of course, you can't get it all in one trip, and you have to come back to get it again.
He didn't want to sell this wild boar at the market. Although the Chinese New Year was about to come, he would definitely be able to sell all the wild boars, but he also needed to eat meat.
He planned to make most of the pork into wind-blown pork and save it for later eating. Sewers and bones, etc., eat them now. With this wild boar, there is no need to spend money on meat for the New Year this year.
When he returned to Grandma Xi's house, Gao Zhuang had already come back and was talking to Grandma Xi with a glowing face.
The young lady was also very happy and said repeatedly: "Take the money tomorrow and go to the county to buy a Long March bicycle! We are getting married, and it is inconvenient not to have a bicycle."
"Hey!" Gao Zhuang responded cheerfully, his clear eyes full of expectations for the future.
Gao Mingcheng stopped and looked at such a tall and strong man.
In his previous life, he took Gao Zhuang to travel south. He was always busy and experienced a lot. He didn't care about his small family, and Gao Zhuang didn't care about getting a wife and having children.
And now, he and Duo Mei are about to get married, and Gao Zhuang has also found the one he likes!
Last time he went to Zhangshu to sell medicine, he gave Huang Dazhi 100 yuan and Gao Zhuang 100 yuan. But if Gao Zhuang got married, he would naturally have to be more thoughtful.
"Brother Mingcheng, are you... have you shot a wild boar again?" Gao Zhuang's voice was loud at first, and then lowered, obviously because he was afraid that people outside would hear him.
"Yeah. These are good meats. Let's put them aside for now. I'll get the pig heads, pig feet, etc. later," Gao Mingcheng said.
Gao Zhuang immediately said: "I'll help you get it together."
While the two were talking, they walked out of the courtyard gate and walked towards the new house in Niuweiling.
Along the way, Gao Zhuang shared his blind date process with Gao Mingcheng, and Gao Mingcheng also knew what kind of person the woman was.
The woman's name is He Xiuman. She is 21 years old this year. She is the eldest sister in the family, with two younger sisters and a younger brother.
Gao Zhuang said with a flushed face: "Actually, his family is not very satisfied with me, but... Xiuman said... she likes me."
After saying the last sentence, Gao Zhuang was extremely shy.
When he has grown up, this is the first time a girl has said so frankly that she likes him!
Originally, he felt that He Xiuman was older than him, so he didn't particularly like him. However, since He Xiuman said he liked him in public, he felt that He Xiuman was good at everything!
After finally meeting someone who likes him so much, of course he would marry her!
Gao Mingcheng listened and felt that this girl was interesting and that she should be a very independent person.
It's just that a family like this with three sisters and one brother will inevitably remind people of the rumors about Voldemort.
Of course, Gao Mingcheng would not say anything to ruin Gao Zhuang's good mood.
Whether this character is good or not, you will naturally know later.
Gao Zhuang was sharing things about He Xiuman with Gao Mingcheng, and He Xiuman over there was also talking about Gao Zhuang's things with his good friends.
He Xiuman looks average and wears ordinary clothes. She is young, but her hands are already a little rough. This is because she has to work all year round.
Although she was already twenty-one years old, her family still wanted to keep her working at home and did not want her to get married. It was she who heard Gao Zhuang's aunt talking about her nephew in the village, so she talked to Gao Zhuang's aunt. People took her to her home to see her.
It can be said that this meeting was He Xiuman's own idea.
After seeing Gao Zhuang, he found that Gao Zhuang had no particularly obvious strengths, but also no particularly obvious shortcomings, so He Xiuman directly expressed his stance!
Her good friend is also from the same village. She is about the same age as her. She is also the eldest sister in the family. She was left to work at home by her parents, so she is not married yet.
"Xiu Man, you just met once and you have decided like this?" A good friend asked worriedly, thinking that He Xiuman was too radical in doing things.
He Xiuman sat on the edge of the bed and said casually: "All men are the same, who is not married to whom you marry? The key is whether that person's conditions are good or not!"
My good friend frowned even more, because in her opinion, Gao Zhuang's conditions were not very good.
Gao Zhuang has no parents, only an elderly grandma. He himself is not particularly outstanding, with average looks and average height. I really don’t know what He Xiuman likes in Gao Zhuang.
He Xiuman glared at her angrily, pulled her closer, and said in her ear: "Tall and strong has no father or mother. This is because the conditions are good!"
Her good friend's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
In the eyes of others, this is obviously a sign of poor conditions!
He Xiuman continued: "When I get married, I will be in charge of the family! I will also be in charge of how many children I have in the future, whether they are boys or girls! I have had enough of my mother, and I have had enough of my grandma! Gao Zhuang What a nice home, with few people, cleanliness and less chores!”
"Lili, you'd better look for someone to marry. You can find a good one while you're young. Otherwise, if your mother stays at home and works on the farm for a few more years, you won't be able to find a good one." He Xiu Man sincerely advised his good friend.
However, her good friend didn't have such courage as her and was too shy to respond.
So He Xiuman stopped trying to persuade her. When she thought about escaping from her original family and getting rid of the complicated housework and farm work, she felt relaxed and happy from the bottom of her heart.
Well, there is another advantage of Gao Zhuang's family, that is, it is far away!
When he was a child, He Xiuman decided not to marry someone from the same village, because marrying someone from the same village would be any different from never being married. She still has to take care of all the mess in her family!
