"Um, ahem, Second Aunt, don't be in a hurry, go home first, we'll talk about it first."
Jackie Chan really can't bear the blind date, and it's hard to ruin the second aunt's good intentions, so she can only put off dealing with it, find ways to delay it, and go home first.
Jackie Chan is about to turn 24. In the rural areas of the late 1990s, this age was considered a "late marriage" and parents would be anxious.
Fortunately, Jackie Chan has stayed in the army, otherwise he would have been tortured by blind dates for many rounds.
"Pfft~"
Hearing that the second aunt opened her mouth to introduce the person, the eldest brother, whose face did not change even if the sky fell, was so frightened that Chengcai couldn't hold back his laughter.
Xu Sanduo also had a strange expression on his face. In his mind, women were very far away.
The second aunt looked like a professional old matchmaker at first glance, and her business skills were extremely familiar.
Since the last time the county came to Cheng Jia with gongs and drums, and sent a bunch of gold plaques to honor his ancestors, Cheng Jia has become a celebrity in the entire county.
Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai, a pair of high-quality brothers, were targeted by the second aunt, a professional matchmaker.
And relying on their close relationship, he had a thorough understanding of the situation of the two brothers in advance, and waited until the two brothers came back from the army.
Today I am going to a "stepping point" to start a family, and I happen to meet two brothers from a married family returning from the army.
This luck made the second aunt feel that it was destined by Grandpa Tian.
She is sure to get the matchmaker's money!
Originally, the second sister-in-law wanted to get Jackie Chan and make him agree to go on a blind date with the girl from the next village. However, Cheng Cai's smile attracted her attention.
He turned around and said: "Chengcai, it's not what the second aunt said, you are not young, it's time to marry a daughter-in-law and give your old family a daughter-in-law."
It's rare for you two brothers to go home, so you might as well decide on your marriage together.
The granddaughter of my cousin's third cousin's sister just graduated from high school this year and is working in the county. We, a talented girl from all over the country, have broken the threshold of being a matchmaker. How about I take you to see her tomorrow? "
"What...why did this happen to me?"
Originally, he just wanted to eat melon happily next to him, but he didn't expect that it would happen to him. Chengcai was confused and couldn't react with his eyes wide open.
This time it was Jackie Chan's turn to snicker.
Seeing the second aunt staring eagerly, with an expression that would not give up until she agreed, Chengcai could only find another way: "You can't get married until you are twenty, not eighteen, how about we wait two years before we talk?"
"Okay, it works great, why not."
The second aunt waved her hand and said, "What's wrong with turning eighteen? It's better to go home first and have two fat boys, and then get the certificate."
We are all like this here, it’s an old custom, it doesn’t matter, your second aunt and I have big things to do, just don’t worry, as long as the bride price is released, you can’t run away. "
Seeing that this move didn't work, Chengcai came up with another move: "I only have a month's leave to visit my family, it's too late."
"There's time, there's time, why is it too late? As long as you two see eye to eye, I will help you bring your wife in in less than a month or half a month." The second aunt spoke with confidence.
"God can't run away!! God will marry a wife in half a month!!"
The second aunt's unrestrained and bizarre remarks made Jackie Chan so shocked that he was shocked on the spot.
As a person who traveled through time in the 21st century, Jackie Chan actually doesn't object to men and women getting to know each other through blind dates, but at least there needs to be a process of getting to know each other, and marriage can only be discussed after both parties know enough about each other.
The second aunt is completely devoid of any emotion and wants to go home and have a baby first.
Jackie Chan really can’t stand it!
Even a talented person with a smooth personality and an eloquent voice was at the end of his rope at this moment. He was completely speechless and could only keep his head down and move forward.
Can't say it.
Just stop talking about it.
The second aunt, who had been preparing for a long time, did not intend to give up easily. She still followed Jackie Chan and worked tirelessly on various promotions.
From the East Village, from the West Village, from the neighboring village, from the county, from the Latte Rice Bowl...
All kinds of girls are thrown out one after another!
The second aunt's main business is to catch them all in one fell swoop. Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai were caught and seduced, and Xu Sanduo, who was traveling with them, also did not let them go.
"Sanduo, don't just listen. What kind of girl do you like? Tell my aunt, and she will look for you immediately." The second aunt said boldly.
Although Xu Sanduo looks much worse than his married brothers from the outside.
But the old Xu family has developed well in recent years. The eldest brother followed Xu Baishun and worked enthusiastically in the quarry. The carts of stones were worth the money.
The second brother led a large group of brothers and was very successful in the county town.
In millionaire families in the 1990s, even if their son was a snot-nosed fool, there were a lot of girls trying to get married.
Not to mention that Xu Sanduo is not bad at all except being a little shorter.
The second aunt thought that if she could win all three of them, both families would be well off, and the matchmaker would definitely have money, so she would be able to make a fortune comfortably, and she was even more enthusiastic about it.
"Get me a wife?"
Xu Sanduo had never seen such a scene before. Women were completely unfamiliar to him.
His face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
Like a monkey butt!
"Look at your naughty looks. You're just a woman. Why are you so shy? Come back and stay a few more days. I'll find you a good one myself. There are a lot of women in the textile factories in the county, and they're all pretty. very."
Xu Erhe patted Xu Sanduo, laughed and scolded him for being so thin-skinned, and made up his mind to train him well.
It is not difficult to tell from Xu Erhe's tone that this guy has been very popular in the county in recent years, and he probably has a lot of fun with women.
It’s no longer a rarity!
After all, our Comrade Erhe’s skills in picking up girls are in his bones. Even if he looks slim, beautiful girls will still sit on his lap.
Not to mention that he is still a millionaire now, let alone finding some women.
"Erhe, you can't say that. The girls on my aunt's side are all honest girls who know their roots well. If you marry someone, you can support your family."
When the second aunt saw that Erhe was going to be Cheng Yaojin, she quickly increased the pressure for herself, fearing that things would go wrong.
He even targeted Erhe, patted his chest and said confidently: "Erhe, aunt knows that you are capable and has found several good friends in the county. I know them all, but they are all here for your money." .
You listen to your aunt's advice, and she will find you a man who will ensure that you have a good family and bring you wealth. Giving birth to a son is like laying eggs, and will give you a litter of cubs. "
"..."
Xu Erhe was also left speechless!
Although this is the custom in rural areas these days, you must find a way to have more sons, so that you can do things easily in the village and no one dares to bully you.
But describing it like laying an egg really poked Xu Erhe's lungs.
"Having a son is like laying an egg, another classic fucking saying, awesome."
Jackie Chan sighed in his heart and was convinced.
There was really nothing I could do with the eloquent second aunt, so I had to bite the bullet and deal with her constantly, greeting the fellow villagers I met along the way.
Xiarongshu Village is such a big place, and most people there are related to it.
Either uncle, uncle, or aunt.
Facing the greetings from Jackie Chan and the other three, everyone in the village beamed with enthusiasm and kept saying compliments.
Chengcai also continued to show his tact, taking out his cigarettes and sending them out one by one.
Smoking the Huazi that Chengcai specially bought, Jackie Chan became a big celebrity in the county. Cheng Guoqiang is now the village chief. Many people in the village work in the mine run by Chengjia, and some villagers even own shares.
With the superposition of so many buffs, those who are flattering, those who please, those who are curious...
More and more people are following behind!
What was originally a small team of four people turned into a long queue, marching along the village road to get married.
In the quarry.
The stones that had just been fired from a cannon in the afternoon were now divided into several categories according to their size and texture and loaded onto trucks.
Those large rocks weighing dozens of kilograms can be sold to make house foundations and berms.
The ones in the middle can be used instead of pebbles to hit concrete or something.
Small pebbles can be used to make terrazzo, or can be used instead of sand.
Cheng Guoqiang and Xu Baishun stood on the sidelines, watching the rock crusher roaring there, and the small excavator was constantly busy shoveling stones.
Every shovelful of stones loaded onto the cart represents a pocketful of money.
The faces of the two of them were full of smiles.
The people who work in the mine are all villagers, and most of them have invested in shares. The more money the mine makes, the more money they can get.
The work was done with great energy, and no one was cheating.
"Old guy, this small excavator is not enough anymore and we can't even win. How about we spend more money and buy a bigger excavator?" Cheng Guoqiang suggested.
"This small one is only over 100,000 yuan, so how much does the big one cost?" Xu Baishun was a little reluctant to give up.
"It's estimated to be hundreds of thousands, but I can't bear to leave my children. How can I trick the wolf? The business in this mine is so good, I can make more money by building a big excavator."
Cheng Guoqiang is obviously more far-sighted and more ambitious than Xu Baishun.
"This is not a small amount. I have to discuss it with my second son. See if he..."
"Village chief, village chief."
Suddenly someone ran into the mine shouting, interrupting Xu Baishun's words.
"Patriot, what's going on? You're running so fast, be careful not to fall." Cheng Guoqiang yelled.
"Why are you still here? Go back quickly. Your Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai have returned from the army." A villager named Patriot shouted.
"What?"
This news is so exciting.
Cheng Guoqiang thought he heard wrongly.
"Your son, both of your sons are back. They have arrived at the head of the village and are now walking home. Erhe drove them back."
"My mother, there are two brats here, and they don't know how to call first when they come back."
Cheng Guoqiang, who just wanted to be patriotic and not run too fast, confirmed that he had heard correctly. He was so excited that his face turned red and he ran as fast as he could.
He ran to the exit of the mine, got on his motorcycle, stepped on the accelerator and left eagerly.
"You old thing, drive slower."
Xu Baishun said sourly: "Isn't it just that my son has come back from the army? Look at how anxious you are, as if you have never seen your son before."
"Baishun, why are you still standing there? Why don't you go back with the village chief?" Patriot asked.
"It's his son who's back. What am I going to do?" Xu Baishun asked in confusion.
"Your son Xu Sanduo is back too. He came back with his two brothers from the Cheng family. Are you sure you don't want to go back?" Aiguo said with a smile.
"What? My third child is back? Ouch~"
Xu Baishun, who was very calm a second ago, suddenly slapped his thigh this second and ran after him, shouting as he chased: "Old man, old man, please wait for me and give me a lift."
"Hahaha."
Seeing Xu Baishun's embarrassment, Aiguo held his knees and laughed.
…
By the time Cheng Guoqiang came back in a hurry, his home was already filled with relatives and friends.
Cheng's mother was holding her two sons, talking with tears in her eyes: "My son, it's been four years, it's been almost four years, you two are finally back.
Jackie Chan, you are taller and stronger than when you left. It seems that life in the army is very good, and you are relieved as a mother.
Chengcai, you are much darker than before. You must have suffered a lot in the army.
Are you not going to come back this time? Mom really wants you to stay, marry a wife and start a family, and our family can stay together.
Your second aunt cares about you, she has been running around for you two brothers, there are girls from several houses..."
"Second aunt again, it's over, it's over."
Jackie Chan screamed in his heart, having a premonition that something was not going to happen. What I said was very bad.
Fortunately, Cheng Guoqiang finally came back at this time, and the crowd blocking the outside made way for Cheng Guoqiang to squeeze in and enter the home.
"Good, good, very energetic. The past few years in the army have been spent in vain."
Fathers and mothers are completely different, the way they speak and express themselves is completely different.
Seeing the military rank on Jackie Chan's shoulders, as a veteran of the army, Cheng Guoqiang was even more happy and asked in surprise: "My eldest son, has become an officer? Are you really an officer in the army? This What level is it equivalent to?"
Cheng Guoqiang knew something about the military, but not very much. He asked in surprise while touching Jackie Chan's military rank.
As carefully as touching a baby!
"Dad, this is the rank of captain. In the army, he is the company commander and deputy battalion officer. If you want to serve, you can at least be a company commander." Jackie Chan said proudly.
This pride is mainly for Cheng Guoqiang, so that he can be proud of his son's achievements.
"Haha, company commander? My son is the company commander? That's great. We, the grown-ups, are finally proud. Did you all hear it? My son is the company commander. He can manage more than a hundred people in the army. .”
Lao Cheng's dream of becoming an official came true. Cheng Guoqiang was so excited that he kept showing off to the onlookers like a child.
The village elders who were watching all knew how to be good people, so they would definitely support the village head’s family’s happy event.
All kinds of flattery, endless stream.
Cheng Guoqiang's eyebrows flew up when he heard this, and he announced in public that he would hold a banquet at home from tomorrow and invite the whole village to come and drink and celebrate.
No one has to pay any part of the money, just have fun eating.
Celebrate the marriage and honor the ancestors.
Being able to have a big meal without having to pay for the meal, the villagers who were watching were all happy, expressing their gratitude and offering to help.
This time...
The old married family is even more lively!
On the first day back, they were basically untouched. Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai turned into breathing question-and-answer machines, facing various questions from relatives and neighbors.
This is the most basic process after returning to your hometown in the countryside after you have become successful and famous after being away for many years.
Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai are from secretive units, so they can only bite the bullet and answer those who can, and find ways to fool those who can't.
After all, they are all from the same village, and even the elders of the family. The younger ones cannot refuse.
It was even more lively the second day after I came back.
Cheng Guoqiang held a banquet at home for a day, dragged a whole cart of ingredients back from the county town, found the best cooks from the ten miles and eight villages to cook, and invited everyone in the village to come and join in the fun.
There are more people in the family, and the two protagonists, Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai, are also pushed to a higher point.
Seven aunts, eight aunts, and nine uncles...
This one comes and that one goes, in an endless stream.
Even a strong man like Jackie Chan, who was physically strong, was exhausted under these rounds of bombardment and had no passion to go home at all.
Cheng Guoqiang is very happy to be a father.
His two sons were so promising, which made him feel even more proud. He looked so proud at the banquet and walked with his waist straight.
Jackie Chan thought that after today's banquet, he would be able to calm down tomorrow.
When the time comes, Chengcai and I will invite Xu Sanduo to go to the village and city to look around, relive our feelings back then, and experience the changes in our hometown.
result……
Jackie Chan thinks too simply!
After the celebration banquet on the second day, the news that Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai were back quickly spread throughout the surrounding areas through word of mouth among the guests.
Jackie Chan has been a child prodigy in the county since he was a child. When he took the college entrance examination, his reputation spread throughout the province.
This title is loud enough!
Now, the quarry opened by Cheng Guoqiang and Xu Baishun earns tens of millions of dollars every year, making them famous millionaires from all over the country.
In addition, Jackie Chan is now an army officer, so he will definitely have a solid job in the county after he retires.
Someone! rich! Have the right!
No matter which era they are placed in, these three items are undoubtedly hard currency, especially in the rural blind date market, any one of them will be a hit.
However.
Jackie Chan has all three!
This was a big deal, and the situation suddenly got out of control.
Matchmakers and matchmakers from all over the country, like drunkards who smelled the aroma of wine, flocked to the old man's family in Xiarongshu Village.
Mainly here for Jackie Chan.
The second is to come here to become a talented person.
In the past, I often heard that if a girl was pretty enough, she would describe her family's threshold as being trampled to pieces.
Now this statement is perfectly applicable to an old married woman, but it is just the other way around. A high-quality woman from all over the country will break the threshold of an old married woman.
Both the father and the mother were very happy as it related to their son's life-long event.
As long as a matchmaker comes, they will be warmly received.
Then he asked Jackie Chan and Chengcai to meet the matchmaker and the woman.
Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai came back from their family vacation this time mainly to see their old friends and parents, and then relax their minds and bodies.
It's not like I took a month's leave to visit my family and came here day and night for blind dates.
Naturally, both of them refused to go on a blind date.
However, Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai are unwilling to go out on a blind date, which is not a problem for the matchmaker. They can easily find a way to resolve it.
Since the man is unwilling to go out to meet the woman, then invite the woman to the man's home.
For high-quality men like Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai, who can even be said to be rare diamond men in the county, the proud peacock will lower his head.
Ever since.
One after another, matchmakers with girls appeared at Lao Cheng's house.
The woman has already arrived at home, and the two brothers have no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the blind date one after another.
Although there are many girls in it who are good, they do live up to the word Shui Lingling mentioned by the matchmaker.
But both Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai are in the period of rapid development of their careers and have no time to fall in love.
It is even more impossible to complete life events at home in just one month of family leave.
and.
Jackie Chan is a military officer and it is very troublesome to get married. He also needs to report to the army. All kinds of miscellaneous things have a great impact on his career development.
But if you stay at home, there will still be a steady stream of matchmakers coming to your door.
Days like this lasted for half a month.
Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai were really unbearable and felt that people would go crazy if things continued like this, so they had to make a decision after secretly discussing it.
Before the official action, Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai found Xu Sanduo.
Using the skills of special forces, the three brothers sneaked out of their homes at night and met in the woods where they often played when they were children.
Xu Sanduo's situation was also very bad at this time.
Xu Baishun didn't want Xu Sanduo to return to the army. He wanted Xu Sanduo to stay and help the family, and then marry a wife and have a baby as soon as possible.
In the past few days, I have been making arrangements everywhere to help Xu Sanduo find a matchmaker to find a partner.
Jackie Chan told Xu Sanduo the plan he and Cheng Cai had come up with, and asked him if he wanted to follow him and run back to the army in advance.
Xu Sanduo was very scared at first.
Xu Sanduo has always been afraid of his father.
But after all kinds of brainwashing by Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai, he realized that he had now become the pillar of the country and could make decisions about his own affairs.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and agreed to return to the army early with Jackie Chan and the others.
The three of them reached a consensus and decided on a plan of action. After that, they each returned home and spent a normal night until the early morning of the next day.
Before dawn.
Like thieves, Jackie Chan, Cheng Cai and Xu Sanduo all left a letter on the bed for their parents, and then ran away from home secretly.
I ran from the village to the town by jogging, and then hitched a ride to the train station without stopping.
I bought a ticket for the nearest train and left my hometown without saying goodbye.
When they finally got on the train smoothly, Jackie Chan, Cheng Cai and Xu Sanduo looked at each other and instantly felt relaxed.
Thinking that they, as special forces of Brigade A, were forced to run away from home by a blind date today.
They all thought this was too funny and couldn't help laughing.
And just when the three of them got on the train, Lao Cheng's family and Lao Xu's family both welcomed guests, and the matchmaker started a new round of matchmaking.
Cheng's mother went upstairs as usual and wanted to call Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai down for a blind date.
Only then did I realize that the bed was already empty!
Xu Baishun on the other side was so angry that he scolded his son. After reading the letter left by Xu Sanduo, he stood there blankly and sighed after a long time.
He murmured to himself with relief: "The turtle son has grown up and his wings have become stiff. I can't control it anymore. I can't control it anymore."
…
PS:
I am still on my fourth month of subscription, and I am adding updates every day. Brothers are really awesome, thank you! !
The journey home ends here.
Next.
Jackie Chan, who was tortured so much by the blind date, it was time to find a place to vent his anger.
(End of chapter)
