The door was slowly pushed open, and the lights in the room shone through the gap. An old man with half-white hair and a thin hair bent over and walked into the room.

The old man was wearing a thatched hat and barefoot, and his lower body was splashed with mud. The old man looked tired, took off the hat, raised his head, and met Chen Xingchen who had just walked out of the kitchen.

The old man's figure trembled slightly, and his hand holding the hat stood stiff for two seconds. His tired eyes finally saw a ray of light.

His voice was a little hoarse, but he spoke calmly.

"Here I'm back!"

"Yeah, I'm back!"

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, my mother has cooked the noodles, I'll go and serve them!"

The old man responded, put down his straw hat, looked outside the house, and shouted at the third child in the cow pen.

"It's time to eat!"

The third brother who had just tied the cow responded, patted the cow, and dragged his body covered in mud toward the house.

Chen Xingchen looked at his third brother's unshaven face and his short and fat figure, like a dwarf in the movie, shaking towards him.

The third brother is Chen Xingliang. In Chen Xingchen's memory, his personality is dull and boring. When he was young, he also went to the Pearl River Delta to work. However, after being bullied a few times, he was willing to return to this small mountain village. In a flash, the two brothers have not seen each other for more than ten years.

The third brother looked at the younger brother who had not returned home for more than ten years, with surprise and blame in his eyes. Finally, he turned into a sigh and said, "Just come back!"

Chen Xingchen brought out the cooked noodles, each bowl was very large. The whole family sat neatly at the dining table. In addition to the noodles and on the table, there were also the remaining pickles at noon.

Perhaps it was because of Chen Xingchen's return that my mother had an extra fried egg in his bowl. Chen Xingchen did not refuse or say thank you. In his memory, there was no word thank you or rejection in this family.

He picked up the chopsticks and quietly looked at the noodle soup in the bowl.

"Eat it! Wait until it gets cold below!"

Chen Xingchen nodded quickly and started to pick up the noodles. He ate in big mouthfuls. He lowered his head and ate quietly. At the dinner table, no one asked about his experiences over the years, nor did anyone ask about his life. He could only hear the sound of eating noodles with his mouth.

After taking a few bites, Chen Xingchen felt that his stomach was full. He looked at the noodles that were still left and put down his chopsticks in a little embarrassed manner.

The old man glanced at him and did not curse like he was when he was a child, but asked in a plain tone.

"Are you full?"

"Yeah, full!"

The old man didn't say anything anymore and continued to eat the noodles in his bowl.

Chen Xingchen looked at the few people who had finished eating noodles in a daze. The old man naturally brought his bowl over, picked up the remaining noodles, and continued to sniff and eat.

This scene awakened many memories of Chen Xingchen. When he was a child, his family was poor and he didn’t have enough rice. He had three meals a day, and he often ate sweet potatoes and cooked sorghum, and also had various omnivorous wild vegetables.

Many times, the bitter taste made him and his brothers and sisters unable to eat it, but every time they put down the bowl, they would be scolded by their father, and even punched and fisted.

My dad never explains to them why he cursed or why he was unpalatable. He only had fists to tell them that he would be beaten if he didn't finish eating. After the beating, my dad would pour all the remaining food into his bowl and finish it with big mouthfuls.

When I was a child, there was only hatred and fear in that scene. Now when I saw this scene again, Chen Xingchen thought more in his heart. This unspeakable man might have tried his best to prevent the children from being hungry.

Chen Xingchen's eyes were slightly moist and he spoke.

"Babe, is your family doing well over the years?"

After the last bite of noodles, the old man slowly put down his chopsticks, took out the tobacco from his top pocket, and rolled it up while casually speaking.

"The life is much better now than before. There are rice and white noodles meals. You sisters and sisters also come here for some money and meat during the holidays. The family is very good!"

Chen Xingchen remained silent. Before he came back, he had thousands of words to say and question, but now he had many words, as if he had no courage to ask, and there were no need to ask many questions.

The answer, I have found it.

Chen Xingchen looked at the third brother next to him again. Thinking about it carefully, the third brother should be almost forty years old this year!

"Brother Third, is there any unmarried girls' home nearby?"

The third brother took the dry tobacco handed over by his father, licked it with his tongue, took out the lighter, and took a beautiful mouthful.

"If you want to talk about girls, there must be several more. The fourth child, have you not been looking for outside these years? Our family's conditions are not favored by ordinary girls!"

Chen Xingchen smiled and asked his mother who was cleaning up the dishes.

"Mom, what are the conditions for us to marry a wife now?"

While cleaning up the dishes, my mother looked a little disappointed when she heard Chen Xingchen's question, but she still pretended to be nothing.

"Last month, the daughter of Huangjiawan opposite Huangjiawan got married. I heard that the bride price was 58,000 yuan, and there were three gold jewelry. This is not a marriage to a daughter, it is a gold medal!"

Chen Xingchen naturally saw the loss in the eyes of his mother. Except for the elder sister and sister who married, the other sons and eldest sons became sons-in-laws for others. The third and fourth sons were the least of the ages, and this was destined to be a bachelor's life. In this family, it was indeed very heavy to talk about this topic.

Chen Xingchen felt relieved at this moment. Since the answer was found, then I should do something for this family!

"Mom, do you know the girls who have better conditions nearby? You have helped me talk about coal. I have made some money over the years and am going to talk to my third brother about a marriage. What do you think?"

Chen Xingchen's words made everyone in the house look up in surprise and all of them fell in love with him.

Finally, the old man spoke.

"If you want to be a matchmaker, you have to do it for you first. Whose daughter is willing to marry your third brother? You have seen a lot outside. When you get married, you will take the girl to a big city to live, which will help your mother's thoughts!"

Chen Xingchen shook his head helplessly and looked at the two people in the smoke. He suddenly wanted to try it out, so he reached out to ask for a cigarette, twisted and rolled a dry cigarette, and lit it with the third brother's lighter.

After taking a sip, the smell of the spicy throat almost sent Chen Xingchen away. He coughed several times before he slowly adapted to the smell.

"Cough... Cough cough, dad, I already have a girlfriend outside. I will bring it back to you next time. My mother, please hurry up. As for the bride price, we are no worse than other families. Three gold jewelry can also be followed by the rules. Mom, you will talk to the matchmaker nearby these days."

When the few people heard Chen Xingchen's words, they were all silent. Everyone was mixed with feelings, but no one asked how much Chen Xingchen had prepared. At this home, everyone seemed to be quite dull.

Only the third brother took a deep breath of dry tobacco, and a trace of rosy on his unshaven cheeks was covered by his dark skin.

After a night of nothing, Chen Xingchen slept on the straw mattress, feeling uncomfortable all over. In the room, there was an unspeakable smell filling his nostrils.

His thoughts were a little confused. It was far away from the city. The feeling in his memory was no longer there. He was used to villas and soft beds. The croaking of frogs outside made his irritability gradually calm down.

This is how life is, half of it is fantasy and half of it is reality.

Chen Xingchen remembered every little thing of childhood, the faces in his parents' memories, overlapping with his current faces, one by one, one by one, half asleep and half awake, and he felt like he returned to the big bed room in the villa, turned over and fell asleep.

What Chen Xingchen didn't know was that the company was being disturbed by Ning Xuebing in the past few days after he left, and even finally held a board meeting.

The conflict between Ning Xuebing and that woman will never be able to reconcile in this life. Without the suffering of others, don’t persuade others to be kind.

He rarely mentioned Ning Xuebing's life experience to others, because that experience destroyed his entire life plan. If Qin He hadn't pulled him, he would have been immersed in the world of being drunk and dreaming and dying for the rest of his life until the day when the nightmare ended.

He was once a pride of heaven. In his twenties, the company achieved millions of assets. It was in the early 1990s. His family was proud of him, but in the end he was completely destroyed by that woman.

It was completely ruined. The woman borrowed more than three million yuan in his name and cashed in directly on the grounds of purchasing imported machines. In the end, she left a complete mess for him so that he could not get up at all.

He had dreamed of meeting that stinky watchman on countless nights, but he woke up from his dreams again and again and found that it was another dream. Although it was just a dream, he also wanted to meet her in the dream, so he let the white wine destroy his body and brain step by step.

With his current identity and financial resources, it took almost only one week to find out all Zhang Xiaoyan's experience in the United States.

Looking at the thick information in his hand, the hatred in Ning Xuebing's eyes flashed away.

Ning Xuebing's revenge is underway, and Chen Xingchen here is also on the way to accompany his third brother to a blind date.

Looking at the carefully trimmed beard, Brother Chen was very satisfied and rarely wore a suit that he had not worn for a long time. However, his short and fat body obviously did not match the suit, but no one cared about these details.

Chen Xingchen came back this time, in fact, there was nothing on his body. The clothes he changed were left by the boss. His blue and black coat made him look more and more old-fashioned.

However, Chen Xingchen's temperament is not comparable to that of Chen San Ge who is carefully dressed up.

The two of them carried gifts and followed the matchmaker from the other village to the road outside the mountain. Originally, Chen Xingchen did not need to accompany this kind of blind date, but the mother strongly asked Chen Xingchen to accompany his third brother.

As for the reason, Chen Xingchen could naturally guess that although Chen Xingchen said he had a girlfriend, how could his family believe Chen Xingchen's outfit when he went home?

Maybe they believed that Chen Xingchen had saved some money, but in their understanding, it was definitely not enough for the two to get married, so it was a happy thing for them to go together, no matter which brothers succeeded.

Chen Xingchen did not refuse, and the two brothers followed the matchmaker who was taller than them, like two dwarfs following an old witch.

The matchmaker walked quickly and didn't stop talking. He kept asking about the two brothers' situation, and also asked how much money Chen Xingchen had saved, whether it was enough for the bride price, and whether it was enough for the cost of getting married.

Brother Chen had no confidence and was asked more and more worries by the matchmaker.

However, Chen Xingchen naturally discussed it with the matchmaker, and he did not feel uncomfortable at all when he dealt with it. He was at ease, but instead made the matchmaker laugh.

Chen Xingchen also took the opportunity to inquire about the unmarried girls with good conditions and personalities nearby.

Chen Xingchen said generously that he was not short of money, and he would give a big red envelope to the matchmaker afterwards. The matchmaker laughed so hard that he spoke yellow teeth and told all the good girls around him.

Chen Xingchen also made several requests to the matchmaker. Although Chen San Ge is 40 years old this year, his wife cannot be too old, just between 24 and 30.

As for the reason, it is naturally that at this age, women who are thirty years old in the countryside who are not married are basically either picky or have various problems. They are definitely not suitable for the honest Brother Chen San.

The matchmaker nodded and agreed. In fact, there are not many girls who are not married at the age of 30. They are basically the kind of girls who are second and third marriages to take care of a few kids. For the sake of money, this is naturally fine.

Chen Xingchen also asked that women can be honest in their personality, and that girls who are better at Gu's family look like they don't pick on each other. As long as they get along, everything else is easy to say.

Speaking of the Gu family, the matchmaker suddenly remembered something and introduced it to the two of them.

Not to mention, Qin He, after listening to the conditions, thought it was quite appropriate for the girl introduced by the matchmaker.

Zheng Manmei, age 28, has a single-parent family. After graduating from the normal school, she chose to return to the primary school in Shanwowo to teach. She taught for eight years. The reason is that her single mother is disabled and has inconvenient life.

Over the years, there have been no one hundred people who have introduced Zheng Manmei, and there are still eighty. Zheng Manmei has no special requests, that is, she must take her mother to the man's house.

If this is the case, he might have been married long ago, but Zheng Manmei's disabled mother has become worse and worse in recent years. She is already a sick person. She costs one or two thousand yuan to take medicine every month. In addition to the state subsidy, Zheng Manmei's salary is almost all used here.

Such conditions scare any man to come to the door.

The matchmaker introduced this girl to the two brothers, but she had no bad intentions. The main reason was that Chen Xingchen had just turned out to be very good. In addition, the two brothers had to take care of the family, so the girl's conditions were also in line with the situation.

When Brother Zheng heard that it would cost one or two thousand a month, his head was lowered even lower. When Chen Xingchen heard it, his eyes lit up. This girl was good.

After Chen Xingchen quickly asked about the girl’s family situation, he immediately made up his mind that this girl was the best candidate for her sister-in-law!

"Okay, Aunt Wang, it's just this daughter. Money is not a matter. As long as she is really as you said, this girl, my third brother will be married. I will give you four eights at that time!"

The smile on Matchmaker Wang's face was like a blooming camellia, and her feet were a little lighter.

"Oh, that's a good relationship! Let's go, let's lead the way, and you'll be there after another thirty miles!"

(Thank you all for your support for the completion of this book, but it’s just a little slower to update. Alas, I originally wanted to write this book with two million words, but unfortunately the grades did not meet the standards for three months on the shelves. I can only find a way to find a new book. The new book is still the stream of the world, the original world plus the film and television world. Every world will write very carefully and write out the feelings I want to write one by one. I hope that old readers will support it at that time. The new book should be released in April! Old readers can join the group and start with it.)
