Chapter 52
At the end of the month, Deng Changbao began sending workers to deliver green bricks to Deng Shirong's home.

Because it was not far away, I didn’t waste the money on hiring trucks. I just used oxcarts 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 performed their duties and worked 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 his 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.

Seeing someone at the door of a house at the entrance of the village, Deng Shirong rode his bicycle there.

Arriving at the door of this house, Deng Shirong got off the car and parked his bicycle. Then he smiled and greeted an old farmer who looked about 50 years old who was repairing farm tools: "Biao, do you have a chimney here?"

In the Bobai countryside of this era, the most common way to socialize was to borrow a chimney to burn cigarettes. This was similar to giving smoke to others when dealing with people in later generations.

Therefore, the old farmer agreed, got up, went to the corner of the door, took out a hookah, handed it to Deng Shirong, and said, "Biao, your accent sounds like you are not from our Longtan Commune?"

There are three common languages ​​in Bobai County, namely Mandarin, Diluo and Hakka.

Diluo dialect is the ancient dialect of this place, or according to Professor Wang Li: "Diluo dialect is the original dialect of this city."

Bobai Dilao dialect belongs to the Cantonese dialect - 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).

It is the Chinese dialect with the largest number of tones in the country, with as many as 10 tones.

Hakka dialect (Xinmin dialect) is also called Ya dialect and Maijie dialect because it refers to "I" as "Ya" and "what" as "Maijie".

Xinmin refers to newly arrived immigrants.

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.

In later generations, Bobai County was known as the largest Hakka county in the world, with nearly 200 million people in the county, 77% of whom were Hakka.

However, although they also speak Hakka, the accents are somewhat different between different communes, so the old farmer knew as soon as he heard that Deng Shirong was not from their Longtan commune.

Deng Shirong took the chimney and said with a smile: "I am indeed not from Longtan Commune, but from the Bangjie Brigade of Songshan Commune."

The old farmer sat down again, repairing his farm tools, and asked, "Are you coming to our village to visit relatives?"

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 a suitable partner. ." The old farmer became interested when he heard this. No matter it is in this era or in future generations, as long as the children in the family have reached the age suitable for marriage, when they meet the matchmaker, the parents can't help but have a few words.

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 him to my youngest son."

Deng Shirong stuffed tobacco into the mouth of the chimney and said with a smile: "Of course this is 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 old farmer stopped what he was doing and introduced with a positive attitude: "My youngest son is already 23 years old this year. He... bala bala..."

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: "Biao, I will help you keep an eye on it later. If there is someone suitable for your little son, I will help match him."

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."

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 she is?”

"The girl you are talking about must be the girl from Zhang Zhenfa's family."

Hearing this, the old farmer smiled confidently and said, "In terms of appearance, I have never seen anyone more beautiful than Zhang Zhenfa in this ten miles and eight villages."

"Is she really that beautiful?"

"This girl is really good-looking. She is just as beautiful as those actresses in the movie."

Deng Shirong blinked and asked, "I wonder what this girl's name is? Did she say her husband's family?"

The old farmer said: "Her name is Zhang Xiuping, and she hasn't mentioned her husband's family yet!"

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? ?”

"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 married off by who knows which family."

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?"

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.

If she didn't put the burden on her, her parents might not be able to help her two brothers find wives! "

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.
