Chapter 228 The matchmaker comes to visit
Only people with connections can go there. As for what kind of connections, of course they have to have a good relationship with the team leader or the team secretary.
In addition to this job, there are other things to do in winter, such as some external work, such as repairing water conservancy projects in other teams. The workers earn a lot of money and are provided with three meals a day. The educated youth in the educated youth camps like this job very much.
It’s just that this kind of work isn’t always available...and there’s one thing she doesn’t understand. The ground outside is frozen hard now. How can these people build water conservancy projects?
Aren’t you just going there to have fun?
......
People like Lin Jianhe and others would not go to work in the winter. Usually, when they had nothing to do, they would go to the mountains to collect firewood or something. Lin Yinyin did not want to go out because she was afraid of the cold and did not want to go up the mountain.
It's only the beginning of December, and the lowest temperature outside at night has already exceeded -20 degrees Celsius. Even during the day, it's still -7 or -8 degrees Celsius, not even above zero...
Cai Yanhong has been acting mysteriously these days, and she's nowhere to be found all day long. However, Lin Yinyin's ears are now at peace now, without Cai Yanhong chattering in her ears every day.
"What should I eat for lunch today? I want to eat Eight Treasures Tofu..."
It's just that the side dishes don't seem to be complete... But last time we went to town to trade, Hammerhead brought out a lot of seafood, and Lin Jianhe also brought back a lot, but it's still not enough...
Never mind, I'll eat it when I cook for myself in the evening! Eating a big Northeastern rice dumpling for lunch is also delicious...
Thinking of this, Lin Yinyin didn't lie on the kang anymore. She got up immediately and started steaming the potatoes. This is the soul of the delicious rice dumpling.
Just as she put the potatoes into the pot, Cai Yanhong came into the house rubbing her hands.
"Yinyin, your room is warmer. If I had known earlier, I would have asked Secretary Gu to bring me a stove. It's too cold outside."
"You knew it was cold outside, but you still went out for the whole morning. What were you doing?"
I don’t know what to do outside in such a cold weather. I’m freezing. My cheeks are red and will definitely feel itchy soon. Isn’t this torture?
"Yinyin, you really lost out today. You didn't even see the wonderful scene at the captain's house. Luckily I saw it all, otherwise no one would have come back to tell you."
When talking about what happened at the captain's house just now, Cai Yanhong's eyes lit up.
"Then tell me, what happened at the captain's house today? Is it worth freezing like this to watch the fun?"
Lin Yinyin couldn't imagine what excitement could be going on at the captain's house right now. Hadn't Zhao Caixing been home for over a month? Could it be that these two were really getting divorced?
Divorce in this day and age is a courageous act.
"Let me tell you, Zhao Caixing has been living at her parents' house for over a month now, and she doesn't seem to want to come back. Our team leader's mother thinks it's not a good idea for it to keep going like this..."
Li Chunsheng's mother always felt that her son was a team leader after all, so how could his wife run away at such an old age?
I'm thinking of finding a new wife for my son. Didn't the matchmaker come this morning?
It just so happened that Zhao Caixing was not having a very good time at her mother's house. In the first few days, the Zhao family was quite polite and no one said anything to her.
But as time went on, there were bound to be some complaints from his mother's family. The one who complained the most was Zhao Xin's mother. She would say a few sour words every day when cooking. Fortunately, with the protection of Old Mrs. Zhao, they got along peacefully.
I stayed there for a month, but the longer I stayed at my mother's house, the more people around me gossiped about me.
Zhao Caixing's story also became a hot topic for other villagers after dinner in Qingquan Village.
Word of this will eventually spread to Old Zhao's house. Li Chunsheng over there has no intention of coming to take Zhao Caixing back. Old Mrs. Zhao is no longer as strong as she was when she left Li Chunsheng's house.
She is already at this age. If she really keeps her daughter who has been married for more than 20 years at home, it would be really embarrassing.
The Zhao family really has no way to survive in Qingquan Village... Their grandchildren are not doing well, and their daughter is divorced and lives back with her parents. If she dies one day, she will not be able to face the ancestors of the Zhao family.
Old Mrs. Zhao has been indirectly praising Li Chunsheng these days. Her son-in-law is really quite good, at least one or two times better than the sons-in-law of those families she gets along well with.
Zhao Caixing has been feeling nervous and her eyelids twitching these days. She feels a little uneasy, so she decided to go to the Li family early in the morning to check on the situation.
She had thought it all over. She had already come back on her own initiative. As long as Li Chunsheng said something soft, she would move back. Even if this matter was over, the two of them could continue to live a good life!
What she didn't expect was that as soon as she entered the yard and before she even went into the house, she saw Yang the matchmaker who lived in the next village sitting cross-legged on the kang and talking to her mother-in-law while standing outside the window!
"Mrs. Li, I'm telling you this girl might have done it. She's very pretty and only 26 years old. Don't be fooled by the fact that she's still unmarried at such an old age. There's nothing wrong with her.
This little girl had a miserable life. Her parents passed away early, and she raised all her brothers and sisters by herself.
Her younger brother got married last year, so she is thinking about finding someone to marry. You also know that the young men of marriageable age dislike her age, so she is thinking about finding someone older.
I was thinking of coming to your house to ask... I think she is much better than your daughter-in-law, and she is not as troublesome as your in-laws!"
"I can't make the decision on this matter. A grown-up child is no longer under the control of his mother... Besides, Chunsheng is more than ten years older than the little girl you just mentioned!
I think these two people...” Before Mrs. Li could even utter the word "inappropriate", she saw Zhao Caixing walk in angrily.
He picked up the hot water on the kang table and poured it on Matchmaker Yang...
What followed was a scream, "Ah!!!! You are courting death!"
"Zhao Caixing? Didn't you run away? Why are you back?"
Matchmaker Yang climbed down from the kang and wiped the water off her face. Then she opened her eyes to see who had splashed water on her. She was afraid that she couldn't shake off the water on her body because it had been absorbed into her cotton clothes.
This dress was newly made by her. Today was the first day she wore it out and she got splashed with water. What bad luck!
