Chapter 206: to be a matchmaker
As a result, Han Wen, who was planning to catch crabs, was hanging out on the beach, and the two children who were planning to swim instead grabbed crabs.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people on the beach, Han Wen couldn't help urging: "Are you two finished? If you don't walk for a while, there will be no one here."
Hu Zi then straightened up and looked at the bucket full of crabs and said contentedly: "Okay, let's go home!"
At this time, there were not many people on the road, and there were always a few people who would ask a few questions when they saw the mother-in-law coming back with a bucket.
The mother-in-law finally returned home under the gaze of the crowd, and saw Wang Dani sitting under the tree in front of her house enjoying the shade, watching them come over and fanning the little palm fan and asked, "You guys are caught How many crabs came back just now."
Han Wen patted Hu Zi, "Go and show it to your aunt, so that she can be jealous."
Hu Zi heard it and ran up with the bucket, "Auntie, look."
Wang Dani tsk tsk after reading it, "How can I eat so much tomorrow!"
Hu Zi said proudly: "Make garlic crab."
Wang Dani looked envious after hearing this, "You still know how to eat."
Xiaolong took the key from Han Wen and Huzi went home first.
As soon as they left, Wang Dani couldn't wait to ask: "Xiao Han, you have known a lot of people in recent years. Think about whether there are seventeen or eighteen little girls in our villages, even around twenty years old."
Han Wen came over, took a pony that no one was sitting next to, and sat next to Wang Dani, "Why do you want to find someone for your Zhou Bing again?"
Wang Dani sighed deeply: "That's right, it's almost twenty, we don't even have a girlfriend, why don't we worry about it!"
Zhou Bing stayed at home for half a year after he dropped out of school in his hometown, and was arranged by Zhou Xinguo to be a chef in the canteen on the island. He has not found a girlfriend in all these years.
Han Wen didn't quite understand: "Twenty years old is not too old, why are you in such a hurry."
Wang Dani snorted: "I can't be in a hurry, his cousin is one year older than him, and now the child is three years old."
Han Wen also knew that the current children were not persuaded to get married long ago, "Okay, I'll ask you some more in the past few days."
Han Wen suddenly remembered something and immediately said: "Don't say I really know a little girl who is similar to Zhou Bing, the daughter of the women's director of the Wang Jiawei brigade. That little girl is only eighteen this year. Her mother gave me a few days ago. Said to let me introduce her to someone."
When Wang Dani heard it, she couldn't stop laughing, "Are you serious?"
Han Wen nodded: "Of course."
"I also understand the situation of Zhou Bing in your family. I will go to Wang Jiawei to ask you in the next few days."
Wang Dani looked anxious, "Don't! It's okay if you're on vacation now, go and ask for help tomorrow!"
"If you talk about this, I'll buy you two big carp."
Han Wen has gotten along well with Wang Dani in recent years, and she also regards her as a sister. Knowing that she is in a hurry, she replied, "Okay, I will ask tomorrow."
"Otherwise, you can go with me! You will meet when the time comes. I'll tell you if it's okay, and forget it if it doesn't work."
Wang Dani thought for a while and nodded, "That's fine, then I'll call you tomorrow."
Han Wen: "Okay." After talking to Wang Dani, she went home.
As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Huzi and Xiaolong squatting on the ground before changing the water for the crabs.
Han Wen reminded: "You two be careful not to kill the crab, or you won't be able to eat it tomorrow."
Hu Zi replied, "Don't worry! It won't kill you."
"What did Aunt Wang tell you just now? It took so long to come back."
Han Wen walked to the well and asked Xiaolong to help her wash her arms by pressing the water, "Your aunt asked me to introduce someone to Zhou Bing."
Huzi: "You promised?"
Han Wen: "Well, it just so happens that the Wang Jiawei brigade has a suitable one. I'll take your aunt to see it tomorrow."
After Hu Zi finished getting the crab, he shook off the water droplets on his hand and reminded: "Mom, I advise you to worry less about Zhou Bing's brother."
Han Wen: "What's wrong? What do you know?"
Hu Zi waited for Han Wen to wash his arms and came over to wash his arms and replied, "It's nothing, anyway, you should worry less."
Han Wen: "You kid, your aunt has been looking for me several times, so I can't just quit!" After speaking, she walked into the house.
When he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped and said, "You two take a bath before going to bed, cool down."
Xiaolong turned his head and replied, "I know Mom."
In the evening, the Huzi brothers returned to their room, and Huzi climbed to the top bunk in two or three strokes.
In the summer of 1971, Han Wen replaced the brothers' beds with bunks and a long table. The place they are in is quite big now.
After Huzi climbed onto the bed, Xiaolong turned off the light and went to bed. Lying on the bed, Xiaolong looked at the bed board and asked, "Brother, don't you tell Mom about Brother Zhou Bing?"
Hu Zi put his head in his hands, laying on his back with Erlang's legs crossed, and replied, "Don't say it, Auntie has been worrying about it for so many years, and it's time for Brother Zhou Bing to give her an explanation."
Xiaolong: "Well, I also think Brother Zhou Bing did something wrong."
Huzi: "Then let's leave it alone." After speaking, he put down his legs, turned around and went to sleep.
The next morning, Han Wen came out of the house and saw Huzi and Xiaolong had come back from running outside wearing shorts and vests.
Over the years, Wang Hao took them to exercise every day, and both children became accustomed to it.
Han Wen tied her hair and asked, "I eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the morning and bake a pancake?"
Hu Zi pressed water on Xiaolong and washed his face and replied, "It's fine."
When Xiaolong finished washing his face and was about to change positions with Huzi, he suddenly lifted the bowl and saw that the covered crab had begun to turn its stomach.
"Mom, let's eat garlic crab! Otherwise, we won't be able to eat it at noon."
Han Wen walked over to take a look after hearing this, and reluctantly replied, "Okay! Let's be extravagant this morning."
"You two, go make a fire and make a mess. I'll take care of the crab." After speaking, he went back to the house and took out the scissors and brushes.
After dealing with the crab, Han Wen took the basin and went to the kitchen. Looking at the sweat on Hu Zi's head, she couldn't help but said, "You see you are hot, go out and wash your face."
Huzi raised his hand and wiped it politely. Han Wen looked at Xiaolong who was still sitting on the bench making a fire and said, "You can go out too when you add firewood."
Xiaolong raised his head and said, "Mom, I'm not hot."
Looking at Xiaolong's body, Han Wen couldn't help but muttered, "You said that you and your elder brother eat the same food, why can't you see that you have grown flesh!"
Xiaolong raised his arms and clenched his fists to show off: "Mom, I have grown into muscles."
Han Wen sneered, "Just don't show off your muscles. If your brother hears it, he might laugh at you."
Xiaolong pouted, "I'm not afraid of his jokes."
"Mom, how many days did Dad say he was on a business trip this time?"
Han Wen shook her head: "No." But she was thinking about the time, how long it would take them to get to Beijing.
