Chapter 320: Someone else got there first
Xu Yu has many clients in the county, so it only takes a few minutes for him to find out which matchmaker is the most popular.
The two of them took a rabbit directly to Wang the matchmaker's house.
Matchmaker Wang had also heard of Jiang Yi and Xu Yu, and she had long wanted to ask Xu Yu for help in regulating her health. So today she came directly to his house. The two of them exchanged greetings warmly for a while. When Xu Yu agreed to help her regulate her health for only half the price, she readily agreed to help her second brother to go to the Tang family to propose marriage.
After agreeing on the time and place to meet, Xu Yu and Jiang Yi walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
On the way, Xu Yu couldn't help but say to Jiang Yi, "It would be great if Xiao Tang's parents were so easy to talk to. Then they could get married after they've been together for a while."
Jiang Yi hummed and said, "Jianping is very good."
When the two arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Xu Jianping was already waiting there.
Because he was going to meet Xiao Tang's parents today, he dressed up specially.
With new, clean and tidy clothes and shorter hair, he looks energetic and handsome.
But he was obviously very nervous at the moment, so when the three of them bought gifts for Xiao Tang's house, he even tugged at his clothes and asked Xu Yu: "Sister, can you see if my clothes are wrinkled?"
"And my hair, is it messed up by the wind?"
Xu Yu certainly wouldn't say anything to discourage him at this time. He told him confidently, "Second brother, you look particularly energetic and handsome today. Didn't everyone praise you when they saw you this morning? And didn't you see the amazement in Xiao Tang's eyes when he looked at you?"
Xu Jianping's confidence was boosted to the limit by these words. He grinned, then felt a little embarrassed and wanted to scratch his head, but just as his hand reached his hair, he put it down again.
He can't mess up his hair.
"Really? Then do you think Xiao Tang's parents will like me?"
"Of course I can." Xu Yu would definitely not let his second brother lose his temper at this time, and he started praising him.
Sometimes she would praise him a little too much, and Jiang Yi, who was walking beside her in silence, would look at her.
But still no words were said.
The three of them took the gifts they bought and went back to their house to have lunch.
Yang Wenhui and two nurses have already prepared the meal.
The two little darlings were also well behaved today. Xu Yu fed them and said to them, "Your second uncle will be going to visit Aunt Tang's house soon. You should cheer for your second uncle."
The two little babies seemed to understand what she said. Tangtang smiled at him, and Guoguo hugged his neck and babbled as if to cheer him up.
Xu Jianping instantly became full of confidence.
So after everyone finished lunch and the three of them were about to go to Xiao Tang's house, Xu Jianping said to the two children, "Tangtang and Guoguo, just wait for your second uncle to find your second aunt for you."
Tangtang: “Oh…”
Guoguo: “Ahhhh…”
Xu Yu smiled and said, "Second brother, look at Tang Tangguo, they all think you can do it."
Xu Jianping smiled and nodded.
The three of them took the gifts they had bought and walked towards Xiao Tang's house.
Meet Matchmaker Wang at the agreed place.
When matchmaker Wang saw Xu Jianping, she praised him highly.
"I've been a matchmaker for so long, but this is the first time I've seen such an energetic young man like you."
"Not only are you capable, but you also have such a powerful brother-in-law and sister. The Tang family will definitely agree with you."
Everyone loves to hear nice words at this time, and Xu Jianping is no exception. He immediately grinned and said, "Thank you, Matchmaker Wang, for your kind words."
"Haha... I'm always good at judging people."
The four of them went to Xiao Tang's house happily.
When I walked to the gate of their house, it was wide open, but there was no one in the yard.
There were voices coming from inside the house.
Matchmaker Wang shouted, "Tang family, I'm here to propose marriage to your daughter."
These words instantly stopped the noise in the main room.
Then, a group of people came out from the main room.
Walking in front were Director Wu and Tang's father, followed closely by little Tang, and behind them were Tang's mother, a middle-aged woman who looked a little fat, and a young man who was wearing a Dacron shirt and glasses and looked very gentle.
When Matchmaker Wang saw the fat woman, she frowned and muttered, "Why did Matchmaker Li bring someone with her?"
Even without any introduction, everyone has guessed what is going on.
Even if everyone has a smile on their face.
But the atmosphere inexplicably became a little awkward.
Xu Yu and Xiao Tang looked at each other, asking her what was going on with their eyes.
Xiao Tang had obviously just learned about this, and her face looked particularly bad. She looked at Xu Jianping and saw that he no longer had his usual smile on his face. She wanted to explain, but she had no chance.
Mr. Tang hurriedly welcomed Xu Yu and the others in.
After everyone sat down, the two matchmakers introduced their matchmaking partners in a tit-for-tat manner.
The fat woman said, "Comrade Tang, Miss Tang, let me tell you, Lu Liang is not only from the city, but also a college student. After graduating from college, he was assigned to work in the office of a textile factory in the city. He asked me to be his matchmaker because Director Wu's son met Xiao Tang once and couldn't stop thinking about her."
"Look, Xiao Tang and Lu Liang both have good jobs and are college graduates. Aren't they a match made in heaven?"
Hearing this, Xu Yu subconsciously glanced at his second brother.
Seeing his hands clenched at his sides, I knew he must be in a bad mood.
She quickly winked at matchmaker Wang.
At this time, Xiao Tang was also very anxious and she wanted to speak.
But her wrist was grabbed by Tang's mother who was sitting next to her.
Xiao Tang looked at his mother.
From the way she looked at Jianping and Luliang, she knew that she liked Luliang.
This made her heart sink.
Matchmaker Wang was no pushover either. She immediately spoke up, "Xu Jianping is not only good-looking, but also has lofty ambitions."
"The most important thing is whether two young people can be together or not, or whether they are attracted to each other. Besides, who in the county doesn't know that Comrade Jiang and Comrade Xu are powerful? With such a capable brother-in-law and sister, what can Xu Jianping not succeed in?"
The fat matchmaker sneered and said, "Lü Liang's parents both work in large factories. If Xiao Tang were to date him, she could marry into the city. For a girl as capable as Xiao Tang, wouldn't it be more advantageous to live in the city?"
……
The conditions of the two were too different. Even though matchmaker Wang tried her best to speak well of Xu Jianping, she was still defeated.
Xiao Tang was so anxious that tears welled up in his eyes.
She wanted to speak, but her mother pinched her hand whenever she had the thought.
She looked at Xu Jianping and saw frustration on his face.
She finally lost control and said loudly: "I..."
"Chun Ling, come with me to boil some water."
Mother Tang interrupted her suddenly, her voice sharp, and pulled her up regardless of her wishes.
Xiao Tang wanted to pull his hand out.
Tang's mother suddenly said with a sullen face: "Chunling, you are not listening anymore, are you?"
Xiao Tang opened his mouth.
At this time, Director Wu's voice came from the side: "Little sister, let Xiao Tang decide this matter."
"elder brother!"
Mother Tang's expression immediately turned ugly.
Director Wu's expression also became serious.
The brother and sister looked at each other, their eyes locked.
Mr. Tang looked at his wife, then at his brother-in-law, opened his mouth, and finally chose not to intervene.
"Mom." Xiao Tang immediately pulled his hand away from her grasp and said to her mother in a firm tone, "I want to make my own decision on who to date!"
Mother Tang glared at her and said bluntly with a fierce face: "I won't let you find a country girl!"
It seemed that the mother and daughter were about to quarrel.
At this time, Lu Liang, who was sitting there, spoke up: "Aunt Tang, Xiao Tang, can I say a few words?"
Everyone's eyes turned to him.
He pushed his glasses and said calmly, "Throughout history, men and women have always considered being well-matched when forming a family."
Having said that, he deliberately glanced at Xu Jianping, a glint of confidence flashed in his eyes, and continued:
"My parents raised us and didn't ask for much, just that we could live better than they did. My uncle is the deputy director of the city's textile department and wants to promote me. I believe I can give Xiao Tang a better life and help Xiao Tang's brothers and sisters, but... Comrade Xu, what can you offer Xiao Tang and his family?"
It was clearly a very calm question, but anyone could hear the contempt for Xu Jianping.
Xu Yu's anger was rising, and just when she was about to speak, Jiang Yi grabbed her hand.
Jiang Yi shook his head at her calmly and looked at Xu Jianping again.
It means letting Xu Jianping speak first.
If he doesn't even believe in himself at this time, no matter how much they say, it will be useless.
