As a matchmaker, I'm not convinced by anyone

The provincial capital of Guangxi Province.

Xiao's villa.

Xiao Min sat on the sofa with her big belly talking to her mother.

She is six or seven months pregnant. Before she was pregnant, Master Jiang said that her first son would be born on June 2024, 6.

After she was pregnant, she checked, and the doctor's expected date of delivery happened to be on this day, which raised Xiao Min and Wang Wenjie's awe of Master Jiang to a new level.

"Mom, I remember that you used to love playing mahjong, but later you became my agent, and you quit your hobby because you were afraid of bad influence. Now that I have retired, you don't have to worry so much, Mom. If you have nothing to do, go out and play mahjong with your friends to pass the time."

"Mahjong is amazing. If you play often, you really want to play every day. If you don't play for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over the body, especially when you are missing one of the three. It is the most tormenting."

Xiao's mother thought of the time when three people were missing and one kept calling to gather people, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "But once I stop for a while, the attraction of this mahjong will be greatly reduced. I am fine now, and I don't want to be like that one day before. Sitting on the mahjong table at night."

Xiao Min smiled and said, "Mom, what do you play to pass the time now?"

Before Xiao's mother could answer, Xiao's father who came out of the kitchen answered, "Your mother is very patient now. She is writing her autobiography and preparing to publish a book!"

"Huh?" Xiao Min opened her mouth wide in surprise.

Xiao's mother gave Xiao's father a blank look, and then said to her daughter: "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, I'm just idle and bored to record some things that happened when I was your agent."

Xiao Min breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I see, Dad, your way of speaking is really scary."

Father Xiao laughed and said, "I'm not wrong. Your mother wrote about things that happened to her or around her. Isn't this similar to an autobiography!"

Xiao's mother glared at him: "I know it's sarcastic, how is your old duck soup?"

Sitting on the other side of the sofa, Xiao's father said, "The fragrance has already wafted out, and it will be ready to drink after about half an hour of stewing."

Because my daughter likes to drink his stewed old duck soup, every time my daughter came back from work, he would stew a pot of delicious old duck soup for her to drink.

Even if the daughter is married now, it is no exception.

Xiao Min reminded with a smile: "Dad, it's okay for my mother to be busy running around with me before, but now that my mother is completely free, why don't you take her out for a trip?"

Father Xiao immediately shouted, "Xiao Min, it's not my fault. I want to take her out for a walk, but she's not interested. So what can I do?"

Xiao's mother said: "In the past ten years, I accompanied Xiao Min to countless places, and sometimes I had to catch a plane every day when I was so busy that I almost became a trapeze person. Now I don't want to go out at all, I just want to stay in the Live your own life at home."

Of course, Xiao Min knew how hard her mother had been with her for ten years. She patted her mother on the shoulder and said, "It was indeed hard enough running around in order to make more money. Now we don't have to worry about money anymore." Worrying, you can live your life comfortably, anyway, you and dad are still young, and you still have a lot of time to enjoy yourself."

Next, the family of three began to recall bitterness and sweetness.

……

Four p.m.

At a pork stall in a vegetable market in Foshi City, Guangdong Province, a couple is busy. The man divides the pork one after another, and the woman greets the customers.

The couple, surnamed Chen, are in their fifties and are from Yulin City, Gui Province.

The pork is being divided, and it looks very fresh. Even if you have to wait in line, the customers are willing. This is also the busiest time for the stall.

The man surnamed Chen has been in this business for more than 20 to [-] years. As an old butcher, he is very skilled at dividing pork, not much worse than Pao Ding.

Therefore, the man surnamed Chen can split a piece of pork in less than 3 minutes, and the action does not seem to be rushed at all, which is pleasing to the eye.

Many customers are willing to wait in line, not only to see the freshness of the pork, but also to be fascinated by the pork cutting technique of the man surnamed Chen.

In less than half an hour, the man surnamed Chen divided up all ten pieces of pork.

And his wife is constantly cutting meat, weighing scales, chopping bones and packaging bags, and she is very busy.

Busy until around 06:30 in the afternoon, the couple finally sold all five pigs, plus the eight pigs sold in the morning and at noon, they sold a total of [-] pigs in one day. The business can be said to be very good. It's hot.

Now the profit from selling a pig is about 400 yuan, and the couple earned more than 5000 yuan in one day, which can be said to be very impressive.

Of course, there are many pork stalls in the vegetable market, and not every stall is so profitable. It also sells pork. Some stalls have difficulty selling three or five pigs in a day, but the couple surnamed Chen can sell more than a dozen pigs every day. Pigs, this is also the skill of their couple.

When the couple closed their files and were about to go back, the man surnamed Chen received a call from his son Chen Yanren.

As soon as the call was connected, his son Chen Yanren asked, "Dad, have you closed the file yet?"

Father Chen said: "The pork has just been sold out, and we are going to close the stall."

"I'm at the XX food stall now. What kind of food do you and your mother want to eat? I'll order for you."

"When did you come here? Why didn't you make any calls?"

"I didn't arrive until about five o'clock. At that time, I thought you were busy, so I didn't call. Tell me what you want to eat. I quickly ordered food, and I was starving to death."

"Then bring me a white-cut goose!"

"Okay, what about my mother?"

"I'll ask her...she said she wants to eat scallion eggs, and you can figure out the rest!"

"OK, then I'm ordering, and you'll come over as soon as your files are closed."

"Ok!"

When he hung up the phone, Mother Chen asked, "Why did the boss come here suddenly? Don't you have to go to work?"

Father Chen packed his things and put them on the tricycle, and said, "Who knows about him, didn't he call you a while ago to complain about the poor work, maybe he resigned, anyway, it's not the first time."

Chen's mother frowned and said, "This child is almost 30 years old, and he hasn't decided yet."

Father Chen urged: "Okay, your son has already ordered food, hurry up and get in the car to eat, if you want to talk, you can wait until your son is in front of you."

……

seven o'clock.

XX food stalls.

The three members of the Chen family are eating.

Chen's mother looked at the wolf-eating son, and waited for him to eat a big bowl of rice to relieve his hunger, before she asked, "Boss, it's not a holiday, why did you come here suddenly without making a sound? No need tomorrow!" go to work?"

Chen Yanren made himself another bowl of rice, and said nonchalantly, "I've already resigned!"

Sure enough, Chen's mother and Chen's father looked at each other, frowned and said, "Why did you resign again? Tell me how many jobs you have changed since you graduated from university?"

Chen Yanren said: "I don't want to change jobs all the time, but I haven't found a job that suits me. What can I do?"

Chen's mother laughed angrily: "If you are asked to come and help us sell pork, you will not be willing, and you will not be satisfied with any job. Either you dislike this or that. You should just be your own boss."

Chen Yanren laughed and said: "Mom, to tell you the truth, I really plan to be my own boss when I resign this time. Anyway, working for others is really not suitable for me. Why don't you try to start a small business yourself, maybe you can It’s not always possible to find a path that suits me.”

Father Chen interjected, "It's not easy to work, but it's not easy to be a boss. Since you have resigned, you must have already made plans. Then tell us, what kind of business do you plan to do?"

Chen Yanren swallowed the food in his mouth, and said, "I've thought about it. I plan to find a shop in my neighborhood and open an old friend fan shop. What do you think, parents?"

Chen's mother shook her head and said: "Boss, your idea is a bit unreliable. If you want to open an old friend fan store in the provincial capital, it may be a bit foolish. If you go back to Yulin to open an old friend fan store, I'm afraid it will be unacceptable." .”

Chen's father also said: "As far as I know, only the provincial capital is the most authentic old friend fan. After leaving the provincial capital, I have never seen an old friend fan who can do it well."

Chen Yanren said: "I think this way. I just spend money to poach people from the provincial capital. I believe that the same chefs can produce the same food. The core of catering is taste. As long as you operate the export reputation, the business It's going to be a blast."

Hearing this, Chen's father and Chen's mother looked at each other again.

They are indeed not very optimistic about the eldest son's business, but it is rare to see the eldest son is self-motivated, and they don't want to discourage his enthusiasm. Anyway, the investment in a powder store doesn't need to be too large, why don't they let him try?
Thinking of this, Chen's father made a decision: "Since you have confidence, then give it a try. Our family's conditions are more than enough, and this small investment can still support you."

Chen Yanren said happily: "Thank you, Dad."

After talking about the business, Mother Chen began to talk clichéd again: "Boss, your younger sister is already married, and your younger brother has a girlfriend, but you, the eldest brother, have been quiet. You will be 30 soon, but you don't even have a female classmate with you." Come home, what are you thinking?"

In the past two or three years, every time we met, my mother urged me to get married. Chen Yanren was used to it, so he could only respond with a smile: "Mom, I know, as long as I meet the right one, I will definitely bring it back as soon as possible." show you."

Mother Chen gave him a blank look: "Every time you say that, don't tell me you haven't met a girl you like after so many years?"

Chen Yanren sighed: "Of course I met, but unfortunately the girl I like either already has a girlfriend, or doesn't like me, it's not that I don't want to find a girlfriend, it's not that there is no chance!"

Mother Chen said: "You can't go on like this. Why don't you ask a matchmaker to introduce someone to you? Some time ago, your aunt called me and mentioned to me that there was a very famous matchmaker in Bailiang County. Let him Being a matchmaker for you is probably more reliable than finding it yourself."

Chen Yanren said with embarrassment: "Mom, in this day and age, people generally get married relatively late. I'm not yet 30 years old. I don't need a matchmaker, do I?"

"When your father was your age, your three brothers and sisters were all born. How early are you?"

Chen's mother glared at him, and said without doubt: "This matter is settled like this. You can't delay it again and again. They all say to start a family and start a career. If you don't have a family, how can you start a career?"

Father Chen took a sip of the soup and said, "Fuck you. Once a man has a family and has a sense of responsibility, he can easily succeed in whatever he does."

Anyway, it is up to him whether the blind date is suitable or not, so Chen Yanren didn't object any more, but followed his parents' wishes and said: "Okay, listen to you, I agree to ask a matchmaker to help introduce the partner, but if it is not suitable Yes, please don't force me to marry you!"

Chen's mother said angrily: "Are you and I unreasonable people? You are the one who married a wife and lived. We can only give you advice based on our own life experience, but we will not make decisions for you."

Chen Yanren said with a smile: "I am relieved to have what you say, Mom."

Chen's mother also has a hot-tempered personality. After deciding to ask a matchmaker to introduce a match to her eldest son, she couldn't wait to finish the meal, so she took out her mobile phone and called her sister-in-law.

The phone was connected and after greeting each other, Mother Chen went straight to the topic and said: "His aunt, last time you called me and said that there is a very famous matchmaker in Bailiang County. He is a super matchmaker. I am going to ask him to help Find a match for the boss, do you know the phone number of this matchmaker?"

Aunt Chen said: "Sister-in-law, I don't have Master Jiang's phone number, but Master Jiang has opened a dating agency in the provincial capital, and the address of the dating agency can be easily found on the Internet."

Mother Chen asked, "What's the name of this Master Jiang's matchmaking agency?"

Aunt Chen said: "It's called Happy Marriage Agency, and the address is near the train station."

Mother Chen said: "Okay, I see. When I have time here, I will go back to the provincial capital and ask this Master Jiang to help the boss find a partner."

Aunt Chen said: "It's time to find a partner for the boss, he is almost 30 years old this year, right?"

Mother Chen hummed, and said: "This year is already 29, if you let him talk by himself, I don't know how to find a partner until the year of the monkey. After much deliberation, it would be more efficient to ask a matchmaker to help introduce him."

Aunt Chen said: "Sister-in-law, it is the right person to ask Master Jiang to come out. I have already mentioned to you that Master Jiang is very powerful. He has been a matchmaker for many big stars and rich people. He must help find someone. You will not be disappointed."

Chen's mother said expectantly: "Then I will wait and see."

Next, the aunt and sister-in-law chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.

Chen's mother looked at her son and said, "Your aunt said that you can find the address of Happy Marriage Agency on the Internet. You can find the address and send it to my WeChat. I'll see if I can make a trip to the provincial capital someday to find a matchmaker."

Chen Yanren nodded. He was almost done eating now, so he put down his chopsticks, picked up his mobile phone, opened a search engine, entered Happy Marriage Agency and clicked search, and the detailed address of Happy Marriage Agency was exposed in front of his eyes.

Chen Yanren looked at the address and thought for a while, then said: "Mom, you and dad are busy selling pork every day, how can I find time? Anyway, I want to open an old friend fan store and go to the provincial capital to scout people. I’ll just go and invite the matchmaker myself, so I won’t need you to make a trip.”

Mother Chen made sense after thinking about it, so she nodded and said, "That's fine."

Thank you for your reward.
