Chapter 52 Liu Meihui Asks Tao Xinping to Be a Matchmaker
Within a quarter of an hour, Liu Meihui came back with a basket full of vegetables. When she entered the door, she said, "It's really cold outside! This year it was much colder than usual. Last year at this time, just wear a jacket."

Tao Xinping said, "Yes, the weather is a bit abnormal."

Liu Meihui didn't see Yuan Wuhua and Tang Qinglian, so she asked, "Where are Wuhua and Qingqing?"

Yuan Feng said, "As soon as you went out to buy vegetables, they went out."

Liu Meihui said, "Where did they go in such a cold day?"

Yuan Feng said, "They didn't say anything."

Liu Meihui took out a fish and said, "I'm so lucky today. When I went out, I met Shi Yazi who was selling a basket of fish. He said he caught it in the river this morning. I bought a big bonito. You Look, two catties and three liang, fresh."

Then he took out lean pork, pork ribs, a slaughtered chicken, a bag of wild mushrooms, two large pieces of tofu and some zucchini from the basket.

Yuan Feng smiled and said, "There are only a few people, how can you eat so much?"

Liu Meihui said: "Not many. I'm going to make a few dishes like this: braised bonito fish, pork ribs stewed mushrooms, cuttlefish stewed chicken, fried bacon with smoked bamboo shoots, fried pork melon, homemade tofu, and there is a pig in the refrigerator." Stomach, take some pickled vegetables out of the jar, stir-fry pork belly with soaked vegetables, and then stir-fry a side dish, how about it? His aunt?"

Yuan Feng giggled and joked: "Sister-in-law, I have never had such good food when I come to your house!"

At this time Tao Xinping also came in and said, "Aunt Gui, let me help too."

Liu Meihui said: "No need to help, peace of mind, you go watch TV."

Tao Xinping walked to the stove and sat down, said with a smile, "It's cold, let me help light the fire."

Yuan Feng found a chair and sat down. While choosing dishes, she said, "Sister-in-law, Qingqing is here today. You should have a plan in mind about what to do next."

Liu Meihui kept her hands on her hands, looked up at Yuan Feng and said, "His aunt, Qingqing agrees to associate with Wuhua?"

Yuan Feng smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, didn't you just say that Qingqing hasn't come for more than ten years? Today she came, hehe...you asked knowingly, right?"

Tao Xinping also smiled and said, "Aunt Gui, your family has a happy event!"

Liu Meihui's face blossomed into a smile, she stopped and said, "His aunt, Xinping, I know what you have said."

Yuan Feng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, do you believe it now?"

Liu Meihui said: "Seeing Qingqing coming and you guys coming, I knew something good was coming. But, to be honest, the more I think about it, the more worried I become. I'm afraid it will be nothing but joy!"

Yuan Feng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you think so much about your daughter-in-law."

Liu Meihui said: "His aunt, don't laugh at me, when your Xuhui reaches Wuhua's age, you will be like this too."

Yuan Feng got up to wash the side dishes, came to Liu Meihui's side, helped to cut up the side dishes, and whispered, "Let's stop talking about this. Sister-in-law, how do you get a good deal next?"

Liu Meihui said: "His aunt, I really don't have any good deals. Please give me some advice."

Yuan Feng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you need to hire a matchmaker first."

Liu Meihui asked: "A matchmaker? Aren't you the one?"

Yuan Feng raised his chin and tilted his head towards Tao Xinping, and said, "You can ask Tao Xinping to be a matchmaker. Xinping and Qingqing are cousins, and Zhijian and Wuhua have a very good relationship, so they can talk to each other."

Liu Meihui thought about it, felt it made sense, and nodded.

Liu Meihui asked Yuan Feng to use the rice cooker to cook the rice, and asked Xinping to light up the stove, and started cooking, talking with the two of them while cooking.Liu Meihui first made two stews, put them in a casserole and moved them to the coal stove to simmer, and then fried the other dishes one by one and put them on the stove.At this time, the house is full of vegetables.The three of them worked hard for more than an hour, and prepared a large table of dishes.

Liu Meihui asked Yuan Feng to go to the main room to call someone to come back for dinner, then she turned her head and said to Tao Xinping with a smile, "Xinping, please worry about Yuan Wuhua and Qingqing's affairs."

Tao Xinping smiled and said, "Aunt Gui, don't say that, one of them has intentions, and the other has intentions, I just did some needlework."

Liu Meihui said: "Peace of mind, you have done a good job of threading the needle. I would like to ask you to continue to help the two of them. How about it?"

Tao Xinping asked, "Aunt Gui, what do you want me to do?"

Liu Meihui said: "I want you to be a matchmaker for the two of them, how about it?"

Tao Xinping waved his hands again and again, and said, "Aunt Gui, I don't know how to be a matchmaker, let's do it with Aunt Yi, I've never done it before."

Liu Meihui said: "Xinping, your first aunt had talked to Qingqing many times before, but she didn't convince her. You went to talk, and Qingqing came. Qingqing listened to you."

Tao Xinping hesitated for a while, then smiled and said, "Okay, Aunt Gui, since you trust me so much, I'll give it a try."

Liu Meihui said happily: "Xingping, this sentence from you is enough. Thank you for your peace of mind! Please take the trouble to worry about it."

Yuan Feng came over and said, "Sister-in-law, they said they will be back in a while."

Liu Meihui said: "That's good! I'll bring the dishes to the table and prepare to eat."

After a while, He Yihai and He Xuhui came in with the same umbrella.Yuan Feng saw it and said, "Is it raining outside? Where are Yuan Wuhua and the others?"

He Yihai said: "Yes. They are behind."

Before the words were finished, Yuan Wuhua and Qingqing came in with the same umbrella.

Yuan Feng asked: "Wuhua, where is your master?"

Yuan Wuhua said, "I didn't see it."

Liu Meihui said: "Sun Chengye asked him to go to the town government after breakfast."

Yuan Feng asked: "Are you coming back for dinner?"

Liu Meihui said: "I don't know. Don't wait for him, let's save some food for him."

It was nearly three o'clock when Yuan Guishan returned home in Sun Chengye's car.

It was raining heavily, he didn't bring an umbrella, and ran into the main room in the rain, where Liu Meihui was talking with Tao Xinping.

Seeing Yuan Guishan coming in, Tao Xinping stood up with a smile and called out, "Secretary Yuan."

Yuan Guishan smiled and said, "Peace of mind, you are a rare visitor. What brought you here today?"

Tao Xinping was about to answer, but Liu Meihui smiled and said, "Old Man Shan, Xinping is here today to be a matchmaker for Wuhua."

Yuan Guishan raised his eyebrows and felt a little surprised. Then he smiled and said, "Really? Then you have to worry about it."

Tao Xinping said with a smile: "Secretary Yuan, your family is a big family with deep roots. There are many girls who want to marry this family. The girls are already interested, and I'm just here to spread the word."

Liu Meihui said: "Peace of mind, it's not right for you to say that. Without your efforts, Qingqing would not be able to come here today. I really help you."

At this moment, Yuan Wuhua's car arrived at the door. Tao Xinping got up and smiled at Yuan Guishan, saying, "Secretary Yuan, Aunt Gui, I'm leaving first."

As he spoke, he ran to the car in the rain, opened the door, and entered.

Yuan Guishan asked, "Which one is Qingqing?"

Seeing the car go away, Liu Meihui turned her head and said with a chuckle: "Old Man Shan, you don't even know who Qingqing is? Tang Qinglian, the eldest daughter of Tang Debiao in Jiangwan! Before you came back, Qingqing and His aunt just left, and Wuhua sent them back to Jiangwan."

Yuan Guishan was taken aback when he heard this, and after a while, he sighed and said, "You're really Qinglian girl! Hmph, we still got together!"

Liu Meihui scolded: "Old man Shan, can you please speak more nicely? What do you mean we got together! If you don't help Xinping, don't help his aunt, Qinglian sister will fall in love with your Wuhua?"

"This Qinglian girl has never liked Wuhua! Why has it changed again? This is..." Yuan Guishan lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, feeling a little wrong. When he looked up, he saw Liu Meihui staring at Wuhua with staring eyes. He, Yuan Guishan was taken aback, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Liu Meihui shouted: "Yuan Guishan, what are you going to do? Are you really going to make Wuhua a bachelor for the rest of his life?"

Yuan Guishan laughed and said, "Oh, my guest! I'm just asking, what do you mean by that!"

Liu Meihui sneered and said, "Hmph, Old Man Shan, I didn't know that little girl in your heart until that day! So you have such a mind! You hide it too deep! Let me tell you Old Man Shan, Wuhua and Qing Don't worry about Lian's affairs! If something goes wrong, I'll never end with you!"

Yuan Guishan smiled wryly and said, "Okay, okay, I promise that regardless of Wuhua's affairs, you can do whatever you want, okay?" After finishing speaking, he went to the room.
