I can't guess. Ma Chengzhi turned his back and continued to throw the feed, not wanting to tremble with her any more.
The woman suddenly said, "You were selling chickens on the street a few days ago. One of your hens kicked off the tether and flew out of your basket. A lump of chicken excrement landed on a girl's wrist. Do you remember that?" ?
Ma Chengzhi was startled, stopped what he was doing, looked at her and said, I remember, I apologized to that girl, what's the matter?
The woman said something happened. Ma Chengzhi's heart was in doubt and he said with a gloomy face, is she still looking for trouble? The woman said that this was a big trouble. Ma Chengzhi is right, it's just a piece of chicken shit, it's just a little dirty, it'll be fine if you wash it off, what else is there?
She has washed away the chicken shit, but if the impression you left in her heart has not been washed away, she will look for you. The woman smiled and spoke.
Can you say that again. Ma Chengzhi didn't understand.
The woman did not repeat it, but said, "The girl entrusted me to come to you."
What do you want from me? Ma Chengzhi was a little nervous and put down the basin for spreading the feed. The chickens all over the place were jumping happily and pecking at the feed.
He was too lazy to observe and only listened to the woman's words. The girl asked me to find you for one thing. She asked you whether you would agree or not. She was willing to talk to you about a partner. She felt that you were honest, and we were in the same industry as her. They were both raising chickens. Yes, we can talk.
A stone fell in Ma Chengzhi's heart. He bypassed the topic and said, It turns out that you are a matchmaker. Even if the deal is successful, I can't buy a pair of shoes for you to wear. If it is successful, you can catch two chickens here. Go as a reward!
So, you agree? the woman asked with a smile.
Ma Chengzhi did not answer immediately. He pointed to a white couplet on the door of his house that read, "You don't know when the red sun is approaching when you are wearing clothes. When you miss your relatives, you only see Bai Xuefei." Let’s talk about this again after seven days! I am currently short of manpower to raise chickens. If that girl is willing to help, it will be a blessing that I, Ma Chengzhi, have cultivated in my eight hundred lifetimes. Why not?
With your words, I feel satisfied. The woman raised her hand to Ma Chengzhi as a greeting, and left the chicken farm happily.
About two months later, the woman brought the girl over to meet Ma Chengzhi. They hit it off immediately, and the woman who was the matchmaker didn't need to say anything. The two seemed to be in tune with each other.
Ma Chengzhi was at a loss for words, I'm sorry, I made you dirty that time. The girl smiled sweetly and said humorously, without that dirty time, how could we have this fate? I'm quite grateful for being dirty by you that time!
Ma Chengzhi chuckled, looked at the girl and said, I don't know your name yet. The woman grabbed the spot, her name was Xiong Yingzi, and she was from Xiongjiawan, Pingchuan Town. Her father, Xiong Daode, was a well-known professional chicken farmer, and she was a technician in the professional chicken farmer.
Ma Chengzhi didn't listen carefully to anything else, he just kept mumbling Xiong Yingzi's name in his mouth, and then looked at her heroic appearance, feeling very satisfied in his heart, and just kept thanking the woman. I thought: I should reward this matchmaker well.
Soon, he sold dozens of chickens, collected some money, and prepared a betrothal gift. The matchmaker took him to Xiong Yingzi's house to recognize his relatives. Finally, he handed the matchmaker a reward of several hundred yuan.
Unexpectedly, the matchmaker refused and said that Xiong Yingzi had already given two remunerations, including one to you, which meant that it was given on your behalf, and I couldn't get three remunerations. Xiong Yingzi understands your situation and says that you are a widower without a father or mother, and your grandparents are gone. He sympathizes with your situation, so he takes special care of you.
Ma Chengzhi took the red envelope containing the reward returned to him by the matchmaker and said, how can that be done? I am a grown man and I still need a girl to take care of me? The matchmaker looked at him and said, don't slap him in the face and call him fat, you have to face reality. Xiong Yingzi and I are still related. In fact, we are both taking care of you.
Ma Chengzhi was very grateful and didn't know how to express it. He knelt down and kowtowed several times to the matchmaker. The matchmaker quickly leaned over and pulled him up, saying to get up quickly and stop killing me. The chickens in the field were frightened by the pulling action of the two of them, and each one clucked uneasily.
After that, Xiong Yingzi and Ma Chengzhi came together, and she not only became his wife, but also became his technical consultant and helper in raising chickens.
Ma Chengzhi simply switched roles and let Xiong Yingzi be the boss of their chicken farm. Xiong Yingzi would do all the brainstorming and problems. He only did straightforward physical work such as feeding the chickens.
But they still encountered trouble. In the summer of the fourth year after their marriage, more than a thousand chickens fell ill. Most of them had diarrhea like dysentery. If they were not treated, they would suffer heavy losses. Even if you call a veterinarian for treatment, it will probably be expensive.
Ma Chengzhi was silent, looking down at the chickens in a daze, their eyes blinking and looking listless. He occasionally looked up and saw Xiong Yingzi holding a book and reading it calmly, so he complained, "Yingzi, you are still busy reading, what are you going to do with these sick chickens?" It can't be sold. Better call the vet!
Xiong Yingzi had her own idea, so she put away the book and asked her husband to take care of the chickens at home while she went out.
Half an hour later, Xiong Yingzi came back. Instead of calling a veterinarian, she brought back a big bulging bag. Ma Chengzhi looked at her with a complaining look and said, "Yingzi, what did you do?" I won’t invite a veterinarian either. If you don’t invite me, I will.
Xiong Yingzi opened the bag and poured out the contents, and said to him, of course you can hire a veterinarian, but how can our family have the money to pay for the treatment of so many sick chickens?
I don’t have the money to pay for now, so I owe it first and let the veterinarian cure the chicken disease, and then sell some chickens. If I have the money, can I just give it to the veterinarian? Ma Chengzhi seems to be very thoughtful and makes some sense. Is it possible for a living person to be suffocated to death? Besides, if the veterinarian doesn’t allow credit, aren’t there some healthy chickens that are not sick in the chicken coop south of our chicken farm? Wouldn't it be okay to ask him to catch a few of them as countermeasures?
oh! You're smart, go ahead and invite me! Xiong Yingzi said, without looking at him, and continued to pour the contents out of the bag, using a large basin to catch the contents, and put some water in it to mix.
Ma Chengzhi went to the veterinary station in the town, but did not find a veterinarian. He was told that Veterinarian Hu was invited by a cattle farmer early in the morning. It may be that the cattle are sick. You have to wait here. If you don't come back at noon, you will definitely come back in the afternoon. Ma Chengzhi had no choice but to wait. When the sun set to the west, Veterinary Hu still didn't come back. He didn't have lunch, he felt very annoyed, and he didn't want to spend money to eat on the street.
A man in the store next to the veterinary station saw that he had been waiting for too long, so he said, you go back first, and when Vet Hu comes back, I will ask him to go to your chicken farm. Just tell me where your chicken farm is. .
My chicken farm is in Ma's house. My name is Ma Chengzhi. You will know it once you ask. After Ma Chengzhi introduced himself, he turned around and left.
Oh, I know, you are the cub of Ma Duhe. More than 20 years ago, your father Ma Duhe opened the Wok Palm Goose Meat Restaurant, which was very famous. Everyone knows it. The man said it, but I don't know if Ma Chengzhi heard it.
At this moment, there was the sound of a motorcycle motor. When the man saw that it was Vet Hu who was riding a motorcycle back, he stopped him, pointed at Ma Chengzhi who had just left here and could still see the background, and said, "Lao Hu, that man has been waiting for you all day." , the chickens in his chicken farm got sick. Veterinarian Hu was a thin man with an elegant look. He put the medicine box he took down back on the pad in front of the motorcycle and chased Ma Chengzhi.
