333 I have to keep my head down(1/2)
"Goose?" The boss's suggestion surprised the mother. "He is younger than your sister! Besides, his family is in good condition now. I heard Guocheng's wife said that he doesn't want a second marriage."
Guocheng's wife was of course Matchmaker Liu, who had been busy arranging marriage arrangements for several years.
Goose's mother has collected a lot of offerings, but Goose's stick is still bare until now.
In the past, Matchmaker Liu used to cheat people out of their money by making one-shot deals, but she didn't expect that this place would become her long-term oil press.
A few years later, even Matchmaker Liu, who was so greedy, felt guilty, and her hands became a little weak if she took advantage of her.
She was also afraid that the villagers would misunderstand her as greedy, so she deliberately set up obstacles for Gou Nian's marriage in order to extract oil for a long time.
So I often go out to chat with people, saying that I have worked hard to get married, but I just can't get it right.
Moreover, it is obvious that he is an older young man and it is okay to marry a beautiful young widow, but he has to marry an eldest daughter.
Then it was delayed again and again.
Ms. Okura also understands these situations.
Of course, what surprised her the most was that Goose was younger than her niece.
Their generation has solidified their thinking. When it comes to marriage relationships, they believe that it is natural for men to be older than women. It is not surprising that they are older than women.
But older women and younger men can’t understand it.
Since ancient times, has any wife been older than a man?
Big men and small women, just like the physical characteristics of men and women, God designed them this way.
If the wife is older than the man, shouldn’t she buy a set of teapots and teacups with bigger teacups than the teapots?
Okura looked at his uncle: "Uncle, do you think it would be suitable to find someone two years younger than my sister?"
The uncle shook his head: "It's better to find someone older than your sister. Men are older than women and know how to care for others."
Okura has a black line on his head. This idea is indeed quite rigid.
"I think age matters no matter who you score.
My sister is thirty this year, but I went to the south with her, and people who don’t know her sometimes think of her as my sister.
He looks as old as a recent college graduate.
If you don’t tell Goose about my sister’s actual age, just say that she is only twenty-two this year.”
The uncle was startled and stared at his nephew like a monster:
"Okura, you've always been a talkative child, why is your mouth now as windy as the wind?
You are obviously thirty, but you are telling someone twenty-two?
This is no longer a lie!
We won’t do anything like that!”
Okura Madam's eyes brightened up and she said proudly:
"To say that Xiao Hong is only twenty-two is a bit of a lie.
But my niece just doesn’t pretend to be young.
If we hadn't told her, no one would have known that she had two children.
Compared with those eldest girls in their 23s and 44s nowadays, they are no worse than others.
She is an eldest daughter who is only eighteen years old. In terms of figure and appearance, there are not many who can compare with my niece!"
"Yes, yes," Okura nodded in agreement, "My niece follows her aunt, and she follows her aunt."
"Of course," Ms. Okura said with a beaming smile, "You little brat, you don't know that your mother was just as beautiful as your sister now when she was eighteen or nineteen."
"Yes, yes," the boss continued to nod in agreement, "My sister is thirty this year."
Well?
Okura-chan saw how come her son's face seemed to have a wicked smile?
Only then did I realize that when your mother was eighteen or nineteen, she looked like she was thirty!
"You little bastard!" Okura Madam grabbed the kang broom and whipped her son.
The boss quickly hid behind his uncle.
"Otherwise," Okura seemed to be thinking of something again:
"Last time I accompanied my sister to Zhili, oh, it's a clothing manufacturing place in the south.
A big boss even secretly asked me if my sister was married?
He just fell in love with his sister.
The boss is very young, about thirty years old——"
"No!" The uncle interrupted his nephew sharply:
"The people in the south are too shrewd for us to play with. Besides, we are so far away, and we know what they are like. What are we worried about?"
If something happens, we don’t know, so we have to worry about it all day long!”
"Hey," the uncle suddenly turned around and looked at Okura's mother, "that Ning Okura is talking about, do you know his background?"
Okura-niang said: "We are all from the same village. Besides, Goose and Okura have been close to each other over the years, so they must know everything about them."
"Then why can't he get a wife at such an old age? There must be something wrong, right?" the uncle asked.
"Hey, there's really nothing wrong with him. It's just that he was pinched by a goose when he was a child. He has some scars and pimples, but it doesn't matter."
oh!
The uncle was silent.
It can be seen that Okura frightened the uncle when he raised the possibility that a cousin would marry in the south.
It made him feel that Xiaohong could just find a man younger than her, as long as he knew the basics and there was nothing wrong with him.
Okura Mother looked at her son: "But if you twist the conditions, it's not impossible to find a eldest daughter.
Your sister still has two children. He must feel aggrieved by marrying your sister.
I feel like we won’t do anything we’re busy with.”
Okura was secretly amused. If Goose could marry his cousin, it would be a good thing that he could not even imagine. How could he still feel aggrieved?
However, whether it is uncle or mother, they only know that Xiaohong has done a good job in clothing business in the county in recent years, but they cannot understand how good it is.
The same is true for Okura Musume.
She just felt that her boss was having a great time working outside. As for the specific industries he was engaged in, how much money he earned, and whether it was a liability or a profit, it was not clear.
When asked, the boss was also vague and didn't understand clearly.
Therefore, except for Yingzi, no other family members think that their family is particularly rich.
In fact, this is basically the case for most families with children working outside the home.
I only know that the children are having a great time working outside, but I don’t know much about the specific business conditions.
There are even extreme examples.
For example, when Okura Musume was washing clothes by the river, a group of women must be bragging while washing clothes.
Some also complimented Okura-niang and said to her:
"Look at your big warehouse. You have a truck, but you can still buy a small sleeper like that.
In the past two years, county magistrates only rode jeeps, and provincial cadres only rode small sleepers.
Your big warehouse has already caught up with the big cadres in the province!"
Many women agreed, saying yes, yes, Okura is better than the county magistrate.
After all, some people really think it's great that Okura owns a small sleeping car, but some women also agree with it, but their tone is actually sour.
I just have that sour grapes mentality.
One of the women named Tian was infected by this exciting atmosphere and talked about her children who were working outside the home.
One of her daughters went to the south to join a distant relative and was said to have made a lot of money.
Then the woman described to everyone how awesome her daughter was:
"She doesn't have to work much now.
Usually I just receive the big boss, sing and dance with him.
She also said that a big boss would come to pick her up in a small sleeper car all day long to go out and play.
She drank wine and fished for meat, and even gave her a lot of money when she got it back!"
"Oh, really, what kind of job is this, so good?" Some women were extremely envious.
In other words, most women are envious of the fact that the daughter of the Lao Tian family has a good job.
Okura-Msao, a cultural figure, was thinking that she was not quite right.
