Chapter 52 Inquire
At the end of the month, Deng Changbao began to send workers to deliver green bricks to Deng Shirong's house.
Because it was not far away, I didn't waste the money on hiring trucks. I just used ox carts to deliver them here one by one.
As the green bricks continued to arrive, the Deng Shirong family's house was under construction again. Relatives and idle young people in the village came to help. Those who laid walls, those who moved bricks moved bricks, and those who lifted lime mortar. Well, everyone is doing their job and working in full swing.
Although the family was very busy, Deng Shirong had no intention of staying at home to help. After preparing today's meat, he said to his eldest daughter: "Azhen, I will leave the house to you!"
Deng Yunzhen knew that her father was going to Poxin Village today to inquire about her future sister-in-law, so she nodded and said, "I know, dad, don't worry if you leave the house to me!"
Deng Shirong was naturally relieved that his eldest daughter had been trained to be a chef. After explaining, he rode his bicycle to Poxin Village, Xinghua Brigade, Longtan Commune, ready to inquire about the status of the prospective eldest daughter-in-law he was interested in. How is the evaluation, and how is the interpersonal relationship in her family, and whether her parents and brothers get along well.
A few days ago, Deng Shirong drove his two daughters to Longtanwei, which took him an hour and a half. This time he rode alone, so the speed was naturally much faster. He arrived at Poxin Village in more than an hour.
However, although they also speak Hakka, the accents are somewhat different between different communes, so the old farmer knew that Deng Shirong was not from their Longtan commune.
Deng Shirong took out the tobacco and matches, shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I specialize in helping people as matchmakers. I have nothing to do today so I came to your village to inquire about whether there is any young man or sister who is suitable for marriage, and I can help introduce the candidate. "" "The old farmer heard that he was interested. Whether it is now or later, as long as the children at home are at the age of marriage, when they meet the matchmaker, they can't help but talk a few words.
In this era of rural Bobai, the most common way of socializing was to borrow chimneys to burn cigarettes, which was similar to giving cigarettes to others when dealing with people in later generations.
There are three common languages in Bobai County, namely Mandarin, Diluo and Hakka.
“Is it really so beautiful?”
Deng Shirong put tobacco into the mouth of the chimney and said with a smile: "Of course that's no problem. Tell us about your youngest son and see if there is anyone suitable in our village. If so, I will help match him."
The distribution areas of Xinmin dialect are mainly in Longtan, Dam, Shuangwang, Songwang, Dongping, Lingjiao and Shahe in the south. Fengshan, Xintian, Dake, Shapi, Nabu, Yingqiao, Wendi, and Ningtan in the east, and parts of Huangling, Jingkou, and Santan in the north.
Hearing this, the old farmer smiled affirmatively and said: "In terms of appearance, I have never seen a more beautiful girl than Zhang Zhenfa in these ten miles and eight villages."
Deng Shirong frowned and said, "Ah Biao, you mean to say that her parents put the responsibility of marrying her two younger brothers on her?"
Arriving at the door of this house, Deng Shirong got off the bicycle and parked it. Then he smiled and greeted an old farmer who looked about fifty years old who was repairing farm tools: "Biao, do you have a chimney here?"
Bobai Diluo dialect belongs to the Cantonese-Guinan sub-dialect and is mainly distributed in Bobai, Jingkou, Langping, Shuangfeng and other communes in the northern part of Bobai County. There are 13 communes including Wangmao, Yashan and Sandan in the central part, Shuiming, Yong'an, Dungu, Nalin and Jiangning communes in the west, and Shahe (Yuanyuan and Li'an villages on the west bank).
After all, this is also a potential customer. Deng Shirong listened to the old farmer's introduction while burning cigarettes. After he finished the introduction, he said: "A Biao, I will help you keep an eye on it later. If there is something suitable for your little son, I will help match him."
The old farmer stopped what he was doing and introduced with a positive attitude: "My youngest son is already 23 years old this year. He... baba bala..."
The old farmer sat down again and while repairing his farm tools, he asked: "Are you coming to our village to visit relatives?"
"None of them." The old farmer waved his hand, and then praised: "This child has a very good character. Not only is she filial, but she is also good at farming, raising chickens, feeding pigs, washing, and cooking. That's why her parents only want her to Marry into a good family so that she can help her two brothers find wives, otherwise she would have been taken away by who knows who. "
Deng Shirong blinked and asked, "I wonder what this girl's name is? Did she say her husband's family?"
Deng Shirong took the chimney and said with a smile: "I am indeed not from Longtan Commune, but from Bangjie Brigade of Songshan Commune."
The old farmer said: "Her name is Zhang Xiuping, and she hasn't mentioned her husband's family yet!"
Seeing someone at the door of a house at the entrance of the village, Deng Shirong rode his bicycle there.
The old farmer nodded, and then sighed: "This guy has a bit of a temper. I hope he will be more honest after marrying his wife."
“This girl is really good-looking. She is just as beautiful as those actresses in the movie.”
“That girl you are talking about must be a girl from Zhang Zhenfa's family.”
If the burden wasn't placed on her, her parents might not be able to help her two younger brothers find wives! "
Hearing this, Deng Shirong was convinced and said: "If this girl is really so beautiful, I am afraid that the matchmaker has already crossed the threshold of her family. Why hasn't she mentioned her husband's family yet? Is it because she has a bad personality or her vision is too high? ?”
is the Chinese dialect with the largest number of tones in the country, with as many as 10 tones.
Di Lao dialect is the ancient dialect of this place, or according to Professor Wang Li: “Di Lao dialect is the original dialect of this city.”
As for the old farmer, he happened to have a young son who had not yet gotten married. When he found out that Deng Shirong was the matchmaker, he smiled and said: "There are many young men and younger sisters in our village who are suitable for marriage. Not to mention, I even have a young son." My son is not married yet. If you have a suitable partner, Biao, please introduce it to my younger son. "
Xinmin refers to newly arrived immigrants.
In later generations, Bobai County was known as the largest Hakka county in the world, with nearly two million people in the county, 77% of whom were Hakkas.
Therefore, the old farmer agreed, got up, went to the corner of the door and took out a hookah, handed it to Deng Shirong, and said, "Biao, your accent sounds like you are not from our Longtan Commune?"
Hakka dialect (Xinmin dialect) is also called Ya dialect and Maijie dialect because it refers to "I" as "Ya" and "what" as "Maijie".
Deng Shirong burned a few pipes of cigarettes and chatted with the old farmer for several minutes before asking what he wanted to ask the most: "Biao, I heard someone said that there is a very beautiful girl in your village. She is not pregnant this year." She's only 20. I wonder whose daughter it is?”
The old farmer sighed and said: "Actually, it's not her parents' fault. After all, their family's conditions are not very good. She has five brothers and sisters, two older brothers and two younger brothers. Her parents wanted to find wives for her eldest brother and second brother. Not only was the family's fortune emptied, but the family also owed a lot of debt.
Deng Shirong understood after thinking about it. Although it was unfair for Zhang Xiuping's parents to do this to her, for many families, daughters are never as important as sons. In order to find wives for their two young sons, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother, who had little earning power, I can only put the burden on my daughter.
Dear bosses, please post more chapter reviews to let the two snakes know that you are always here, otherwise playing single player will be very torturous.
