Chapter 350 Finalizing the 2 Hua’s Wedding
Aunt Du looked at her son's expression and couldn't help but reach out and pat Cheng Erhua on the head, smiling and scolding:
"Silly child, why would I coax you? I really don't mind. I'm also a woman, and I know it's not easy for women in this world."
"Look at Yang Chan, what a good girl she is. It's not her fault that the engagement was cancelled. She is also a poor child."
"Erhua, as long as you like me, I don't have any other requirements. I hope you two can live a good life."
"If you can live a happy life, then I will be satisfied and can do anything. I hope you can be happy."
Aunt Du's eyes were full of love for her son, a selfless and deep maternal love. She only hoped that her son could get what he wanted and live a good life.
When Cheng Erhua heard his mother's words, he became like a lit firecracker. His face turned red with excitement and he jumped up with joy.
He danced with joy and said to his mother:
"Mom, you are so kind! You know what? I have already found a matchmaker. I want to let Brother Jianguo be my matchmaker. Do you think it's okay?"
There was a gleam of anticipation in his eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky, and his eyes were full of longing for a better future.
Aunt Du was also infected by her son's excitement and smiled. She held Cheng Erhua's hand tightly and said with a smile:
"Silly child, how can you find a matchmaker yourself? From ancient times to the present, matchmaking has always been the concern of the elders."
"But your idea is really good. It would be great if you could ask Brother Jianguo to be your matchmaker."
"Your brother Jianguo is a capable man, eloquent and warm-hearted. You are also quite good at finding a matchmaker."
"But, just having Brother Jianguo is not enough. We need Brother Shuzhuo to come as well. This way, it will show that we value the girl and are polite to her."
After saying that, Aunt Du turned to look at Zhao Shuzhuo, with a look of expectation and earnestness in her eyes, and said:
"Shuzhuo, is it okay? Auntie would like you to go with Comrade Jianguo to be a matchmaker for my boy."
"This is a big deal for our family. I'll leave it to you two."
Zhao Shuzhuo was stunned for a moment. He scratched his head awkwardly, a look of embarrassment on his face, and replied:
"Aunt, I... I'm still a young man, how can I be a matchmaker for others?"
"Matchmaking is a technical job. I have no experience at all. What if I mess it up?"
"And I don't know how to talk to a girl like that. This... this really won't do."
As he spoke, he took a small step back, looking a little uneasy.
Aunt Du waved her hand carelessly and said:
"What are you afraid of? You can learn even if you don't have experience! I'll find someone who knows how to guide you."
"You two are so talented and capable, and you often help with village affairs."
"You are going to propose marriage to my Huazi. This shows that you think highly of our family. It is an honor for our family. It is settled. Don't refuse it."
Aunt Du's tone was firm and enthusiastic, leaving no room for doubt.
Zhao Shuzhuo wanted to say something else, but was blocked by Aunt Du's momentum.
Aunt Du took Cheng Erhua and Cheng Si by the hand, and the three of them walked home happily with smiles on their faces.
As they walked, they were still discussing matchmaking, and the cheerful atmosphere spread throughout the courtyard like a spring breeze.
Cheng Erhua looked back at Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo from time to time, his eyes full of gratitude and excitement, as if he had already seen a bright future for himself and Yang Chan.
After Cheng Erhua and his family of three left happily, peace returned to the courtyard.
Wang Jianguo frowned, looked at Zhao Shuzhuo seriously, and discussed with him:
"Brother Zhao, look, since we have already promised Aunt Du about this matter, we have to think about it carefully."
"When do you think we should go and act as matchmakers? We have to choose a good day, since this is about Erhua's lifelong event."
Zhao Shuzhuo was also confused after hearing what Wang Jianguo said. He scratched his head and replied helplessly:
"I don't know. This is my first time doing this. I know nothing about matchmaking. I have no idea when the right time would be."
Wang Jianguo pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Brother Zhao, this is what I think. Look, we are busy with the supply and marketing cooperative now."
"But fortunately, the supply and marketing cooperative hasn't opened yet. We can take this opportunity to build a kitchen. After all, if the kitchen is not well built, it will be troublesome to open the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Then, let's find some time to take care of Erhua's matter. Think about it, if the supply and marketing cooperative opens in the future, it will be troublesome."
"On the one hand, we will definitely be extremely busy and won't have the time to deal with Erhua's affairs. On the other hand, they will be colleagues in the supply and marketing cooperative in the future and will have to work together every day."
"If we come into contact with them more often, those gossipy folks will definitely spread rumors."
"By then, even if they are innocent, rumors will spread about them, which is not good for Miss Yang Chan's reputation."
"So, we have to settle their relationship as soon as possible and get them engaged, so that everyone knows that they are legitimate."
"I won't be afraid of the villagers gossiping about me, don't you think?"
As Wang Jianguo spoke, he looked at Zhao Shuzhuo, with a hint of eagerness in his eyes, hoping to get Zhao Shuzhuo's approval.
After listening to Wang Jianguo's analysis, Zhao Shuzhuo agreed with it and nodded repeatedly in agreement. He said with a firm look:
"Well, Jianguo, you are right. Your considerations make sense. We really need to hurry up and do this sooner rather than later."
"Then let's do it this way. We'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative this afternoon and make careful arrangements for adding a kitchen. There must be no mistakes in any of the steps."
"After all, the construction of this supply and marketing cooperative is related to the future development of our village. After the kitchen matter is settled, we will go to Erhua's house and talk to Aunt Du about our plan so that she can have a general idea."
He Yushui, who had been listening to their conversation quietly at the side, now had sparkling eyes and a face full of curiosity.
She had been listening for a long time, and now she could not help but say to Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo:
"Brother Jianguo, Brother Shuzhuo, can you take me with you? I have never seen what matchmaking looks like. It must be very interesting."
As she spoke, she looked at her two brothers with expectant eyes. Her little face was full of longing, just like a kitten eager to explore the new world.
