Chapter 48 A good match?
"Hey, isn't this my eighth aunt? Are you chatting with my mom?" Seeing the big round face suddenly breaking into the video, Zhao Shi immediately remembered who this person was.
Eighth aunt!
They are Zhao Jiayu, a famous matchmaker.
When he walks, his body twists with the movement, and when he speaks, his voice is three points higher than others.
A typical image of a matchmaker in ancient television.
If it were before, Zhao Shi might have thought about it after not seeing him for nearly twenty years, but it is different now. His mind is flexible and he may not be able to remember someone before seeing him. But once he sees this person, some information about this person immediately comes to his mind.
"Okay!"
"Hour!"
"I didn't expect you still remember your eighth aunt!"
When the fat lady heard Zhao Shi's greeting, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared and she greeted him with a smile.
"Eighth Aunt, look at what you said. I can forget you no matter who I am. When I was in college, you were the one who lent me the most money. I followed my father and saw it all clearly. You didn't even hesitate and took out the money for Brother Dahu to marry a wife!"
indeed!
Eighth Aunt may not have a very good reputation in the village.
The man died early. People said that he was so good with someone that he needed several men to serve him every night.
Now that I think about it, this person was just careless and didn't know how to control his words. He spoke without restraint and talked about all kinds of things without thinking. These might not be a big deal nowadays, but in that conservative era, he naturally had a bad reputation.
But Zhao Shi was still grateful to him.
When he was in school, his eighth aunt alone lent his family three hundred yuan.
In that era, three hundred yuan was a huge sum of money, especially in this mountain village, it was a family's annual income.
For this alone, Zhao Shi was very grateful.
What's more, no matter how terrible the legends about the Eighth Aunt were in the village, no one had any real evidence.
My parents-in-law and children are all well taken care of.
"Haha. You kid."
"Isn't it time for you to secretly watch me bathe and scold me for looking like I was burning pig hair?"
"You guys gave me this nickname!"
Upon hearing this, the eighth aunt laughed triumphantly. In fact, she borrowed money back then because of Zhao Shi's status as the top scholar in the city. Although she felt upset after Zhao Shi's death, she was still very proud when she heard Zhao Shi's words at this time.
"Eighth Aunt, I swear to God, I didn't peek. It was Brother Rongcheng who peeked and gave you this nickname."
Zhao Shi immediately cried out for injustice and sold out one of his friends without hesitation.
Actually, it’s not really selling.
The village is so small, what kind of thing can be hidden from people?
Eighth aunt also knows everything.
It’s just not worth getting angry with a few kids.
They were very proud of it back then, and no one knew that they were the ones who came up with the nickname. Thinking about it now, they feel embarrassed.
I'm afraid not only my eighth aunt knows about it, but most people in the village know about it.
"Okay! I knew it was this guy. Wait, I'm going to block his door and scold him. He peeked at me taking a bath and called me a fat pig."
When the eighth aunt heard this, she slapped her thigh and started cursing, then handed the phone to Zhao's mother and left cursing.
When the eighth aunt left, the slim woman followed her.
Soon, the two came to an alley.
"Aunt, how is it?" After entering the alley, the slender woman caught up with the eighth aunt and asked nervously.
"Shu Yun, hey, I just saw this kid, he's really good. I would believe he's only 27 or 28, even if he's only 37 or 38! His skin and temperament don't look like a delivery boy at all. He's better than those office workers!"
The eighth aunt no longer had the rage she had just now. She smiled and held the slender woman's hand and said.
"Elite?" The slender woman thought about what the eighth aunt said, hesitated and asked.
"Pa!" Upon hearing this, the eighth aunt clapped her hands excitedly and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, elites, just like those elites on TV!"
"Really?" The slender woman obviously didn't believe it.
I have seen delivery guys on TV and in videos many times. They are exposed to the sun and the weather. They are about 37 or 38 years old, but they look more than 40 years old. "How can I lie to you?"
The eighth aunt was obviously unhappy and glared at him.
Because she was a matchmaker, she could not help but say a lot of exaggerated things, but this time there was really no falsehood at all, and she even felt that what she said was conservative.
If she exaggerated, she would be exposed. She could only smile awkwardly and use words to smooth things over. But now? Not only did she not exaggerate, but she said conservatively that this was the first time in her life that she was questioned. How could she be happy?
The slender woman did not refute the eighth aunt's words. She thought for a moment and asked, "What disease?"
After all, the couple were still worried about Zhao Shi's illness.
No matter if the daughter is sick or has a bad reputation, parents hope that their daughter can find a normal person.
"hey-hey!"
"I'm telling you Shuyun!"
"If it really works, Xiaoxia will make a lot of money."
"sick?"
"fart!"
"Don't listen to the gossips of the village women."
"This kid hasn't been back to the village for 17 or 18 years, but he still recognized me at a glance and remembered borrowing money from my family! Even if he was sick before, he must be well now."
The eighth aunt's unique face-changing skill appeared again. She looked angry just now, but in the blink of an eye, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up. She laughed triumphantly twice and said to the woman named Shu Yun.
The slender woman named Shu Yun nodded, agreeing with what she said, but suddenly she thought of something and said, "Aunt, do you think it will work?"
Although the slim woman Shu Yun did not say it out loud, what kind of person is the Eighth Aunt? She immediately understood the meaning of the words and said, "You heard me talking to that child just now! She is very clear and can remember everything from her childhood. Only those children and I knew about the time when she peeped at me taking a bath. I also know who spread my nickname! The child said nothing wrong. The old Zhao couple may have told me about my visit in advance, but I just tried it out on a whim, but I remember it clearly."
Eighth Aunt didn't finish her words, but her meaning was very clear: some things may be anticipated, but some things are simply impossible to anticipate in advance.
"What do you mean?" The slim woman Shu Yun asked her eighth aunt, a little unsure.
"I thought based on my years of matchmaking experience, they were a good match!"
Eighth Aunt said affirmatively.
Handsome man and beautiful woman!
We share the same suffering!
It can be said to be a perfect match!
"only."
After the eighth aunt finished speaking, she frowned slightly, hesitated, and stammered.
"Just what? Eighth aunt, tell me!" The slim woman was puzzled. Since it was a good marriage, was there any problem now?
"Shu Yun girl, I watched you grow up. I'm not lying to you. I saw this child when he was young. He was really good. But there is a problem. Think about it, although the child was delayed for so many years, he is fine now. He is educated and has a good appearance. I'm afraid he will not lack women!"
Eighth Aunt thought about it and decided to make it clear.
Before she met Zhao Shi, she thought this was a good match. He was in his thirties, and even if he had looked good before, he was probably worn out by time and no longer looked the same as before. He also had a strange disease, so he was a perfect match for Xiaoxia.
But when she first met Zhao Shi, she was just happy and didn't think much about it. Now she remembered that based on Zhao Shi's current appearance, he might not really look down on Xiaoxia.
Looks handsome.
Be literate!
Highly educated.
I was sick before, but I am fine now.
Where is that girl Xiaoxia?
Graduated from high school.
I have had mental disorders.
The only advantage is that it looks good.
But this is good only in the village, it still can't compare with the fashionable women in the city.
this.
The slender woman also became hesitant after hearing this.
no way.
Because of the college entrance examination, their daughter was traumatized and it took several years to recover. If something goes wrong because of this, they don’t know what to do.
Seeing the women's hesitation, the Eighth Aunt knew what they were thinking, so she said, "Shuyun girl, you two should discuss it and ask Xiaoxia for her opinion. If you think it's okay, I will shamelessly help you to make peace! If it really doesn't work out, you two should make it clear with Xiaoxia so that there won't be any more problems."
