Chapter 41: Carrying the banner of bachelorhood
Due to the imbalance in the ratio of male to female population in our country, the number of singles (referring to men only, not including women) has increased in recent years. The number of singles in Guizhou ranks sixth in our country, and it is also a famous bachelor country.
Save it.
Among the fourteen prefecture-level cities in Guangxi Province, the bachelors of Yulin City beat the others and won the first place with absolute strength.
As one of the top three most populous counties in the country, Bailiang County is also an area hardest hit by patriarchal thinking. Among the seven districts and counties in Yulin City, it is naturally the best candidate to carry the bachelor's banner.
Even, to say the least exaggeration, in terms of the number of singles, Bailiang County dares to challenge the other thirteen prefecture-level cities in Guangxi Province one by one with the power of one county.
From this, you can imagine how terrifying the number of bachelors in Bailiang County is!
Among the twenty-eight towns under the jurisdiction of Bailiang County, although Qinghe Town does not rank first in terms of the number of singles, it is definitely among the best.
This is why the money of matchmakers in Qinghe Town can easily exceed 10,000 yuan, which is higher than many places in Guangxi Province. There are really too many singles in the town.
In Longshan Village of Qinghe Town, there are dozens of bachelors over the age of thirty, and among the dozens of bachelors, the two brothers with the worst conditions are Jiang Wendong and Jiang Wenxi.
The two brothers are 40 and 38 years old this year, and they are both prepared to be widowers for the rest of their lives. Brother Jiang Wendong often laughs at himself in front of his friends and says that he will wait until he is 60 to hold a widow party.
Although it was just a joke, Jiang Wendong's despair and helplessness about marriage can also be heard from these words.
There is no way, the conditions of the two brothers are so bad that they don't even have the courage to find a matchmaker.
When the Jiang Wendong brothers were still young, their mother became seriously ill and died soon after.
After they grew up, their grandmother also died of illness.
To make matters worse, within a few years their grandfather and father also suffered strokes. Although they did not die, they became paralyzed!
Although the brothers also have a brother-in-law and two aunts, the two aunts are the water of the married daughter. According to the customs here in Bailiang County, unless there are no sons, they will support their parents (including taking care of paralyzed parents).
)That is the matter of sons and daughters-in-law. Most daughters cannot be counted on.
This is also a manifestation of Bailiang County’s preference for boys over girls.
Therefore, taking care of the paralyzed grandpa is the responsibility of the uncle's family and the two brothers, while taking care of the father can only be the responsibility of the two brothers.
Of course, the responsibility lies with the individual, and the specific implementation is negotiable.
Finally, after some discussion, the two brothers agreed to take care of their paralyzed grandfather and not let their uncle's family worry about it. In addition to providing sufficient living expenses every month, the brother-in-law also promised to wait until the brothers built a house and married a wife.
, will support them with a sum of money.
So, from then on, the two brothers took turns staying in their hometown to take care of their paralyzed grandfather and father, while the other went out to work to make money. A few years ago, he finally built a house in his hometown with the help of his uncle.
Although only two floors were built, with only two bedrooms and one living room on each floor, and the decoration was ordinary, the brothers finally had a new house to live in.
As year after year passes, the two brothers continue to grow older. Now the eldest brother Jiang Wendong has exceeded the 40-year-old mark, but he has never married a wife, or even mentioned it to anyone.
It's not that they don't want to get married, but that both brothers are self-aware and know that with a family like theirs, it is extremely difficult to get a wife. And if you hire a matchmaker, it will cost you a lot of money regardless of whether the blind date is successful or not.
Expenses, it’s not easy for the brothers to make money, and they really can’t bear to waste this money.
However, this was what the brothers thought before. Now both brothers have some changes in their thoughts, and the reason for the change is that brother Jiang Feng of the same race has become a matchmaker!
According to Jiang Wendong's understanding of this brother of the same race during this period, he found that his success rate as a matchmaker has reached an incredible 100%. As long as Jiang Feng introduces the blind date, no match will be successful.
It is precisely because of this frightening blind date success rate that Jiang Wendong, who had completely despaired of marriage, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
However, for Jiang Wendong, finding a matchmaker was like a big girl getting into a sedan chair - for the first time, he was afraid of being laughed at because his family seemed to have low self-esteem, so he hesitated for several days and could not make up his mind.
In the end, the desire to marry a wife took over, and Jiang Wendong made the decision to hire a matchmaker.
……
After Jiang Feng came back from Shenzhen City, customers came to his door for two days in a row. One of the customers was from the same village as Li Xingwen. Unsurprisingly, he probably decided to come to him because of Li Xingwen's influence.
When Jiang Feng was in Shenzhen City, he received a call from him saying that he wanted to visit him.
The other customer, which was really beyond Jiang Feng's expectation, turned out to be Jiang Wendong, a brother of the same race.
Jiang Feng felt some sympathy for Jiang Wendong and Jiang Wenxi, two brothers of the same race. After all, taking care of two paralyzed patients for more than ten years, only those who have personally experienced it can understand how difficult it is.
Jiang Feng had also thought about taking the initiative to talk to these two brothers before, and try his best to help them find a wife, so that he would not really be a widower for the rest of his life. However, he had just entered the industry not long ago and had not made many achievements yet, so he was afraid that if someone came to his door,
, but the two brothers couldn’t trust him, which was a bit embarrassing!
Now that Jiang Wendong can take the initiative to come to his door, Jiang Feng is naturally happy.
Jiang Wendong handed the red envelope prepared for the matchmaker to Jiang Feng, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Xiao Feng, you also know the situation of our family, I'm afraid I can't afford too much matchmaker money..."
Jiang Feng quickly interrupted: "Brother Dong, we brothers, don't mention this anymore!"
While talking, he took the red envelope handed over by Jiang Wendong and opened it in front of him. He found that there were six old people's heads inside, which was considered a huge investment!
Jiang Feng took out one of the cards, then returned the remaining five cards to Jiang Wendong, and continued: "Brother Dong, I will take one card, which is enough. You can also take back these fruits. I will inform you when there is news!"
Jiang Wendong was grateful in his heart and said: "Xiao Feng, I won't say more polite words, but this fruit is not worth much, you must accept it, otherwise you will look down on your brother and me. Also, Xiao Feng, you will be useful in the future
No matter where my brother is, I will always be there for you!"
Jiang Feng said helplessly: "Okay, I will accept the fruit. I will set out to find a partner for you right away. If everything goes well, I can arrange a blind date for you tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest!"
Jiang Wendong couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked: "Is it so fast?"
Jiang Feng smiled and said: "My matchmaking speed is indeed unmatched by others, just wait for my good news!"
Jiang Wendong nodded with a smile on his face. While he was full of expectations for the upcoming blind date, he was also a little worried because he lacked confidence. He wondered if the woman he was going on a blind date with would dislike him?
