Five o'clock in the afternoon.

A certain residential area.

Zhang Rongying had just finished taking a shower and came out to change clothes. The weather was neither cold nor hot, very cool and comfortable, so she chose a sweater and jeans. It looked simple and fashionable without going out of style. It was more suitable to wear when meeting the elders.

When Zhang Rongying changed her clothes and matched her bag in the room, her parents were already dressed and waiting for her in the living room. Undoubtedly, Zhang's father and mother also attached great importance to today's meeting, and both dressed up carefully.

The clothes are more decent and elegant.

"Mom and Dad, have you called your grandparents?" Zhang Rongying asked. Her grandparents live in the same community as them, just in a different building.

Mother Zhang stood up from the sofa and said, "I called your grandma a few minutes ago. I guess your grandparents are already waiting for us in the parking garage!"

Zhang Rongying heard this and said quickly: "Then let's leave quickly, so that our grandparents won't have to wait in a hurry!"

"Then let's go!" Zhang's father also stood up.

So, the family of three changed their shoes and went out.

When they arrived at the parking garage, they found that their grandparents were already waiting for them.

Zhang Rongying immediately went over to hold her grandma's arm and said with a smile: "Grandpa and grandma, why are you so fast? Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Grandma Zhang clapped her hand and said with a smile: "I didn't wait long, your grandpa and I just came down."

Grandpa Zhang is an old Chinese medicine doctor with a long beard and a pair of reading glasses. He looked at his young and beautiful granddaughter and said with emotion: "I remember when I moved to this community, Yingying was only a few years old.

Now we are going to talk about marriage in the blink of an eye, time flies so fast!"

Zhang's mother knew that her father-in-law and mother-in-law wanted her to have another son. After all, the patriarchal mentality in Bailiang County was deeply ingrained, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law were also greatly affected.

But due to various reasons, Zhang's mother did not choose to be reborn in the end, which made her father-in-law and mother-in-law very regretful.

Fortunately, her father-in-law and mother-in-law have seen the world, and they don't have such stubborn ideas about letting her have a son. Moreover, they love their only granddaughter in every possible way. In addition, they don't live under the same roof, so their relationship is still very good.

of.

Now that she heard her father-in-law's emotion, Zhang's mother immediately gave her daughter a subtle wink.

Zhang Rongying received her mother's look and said understandingly: "Grandpa, don't worry, this is not the ancient era with inconvenient transportation. Once you get married, you will no longer have this person. It is extremely difficult to go back to your parents' home.

Nowadays, the transportation is so convenient, and I am not marrying far away. After getting married, I will still live here in the provincial capital. He and I even plan to buy a house near our home. When the time comes, grandpa, don’t think it’s too annoying for us to live so close.”

Grandpa Zhang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said repeatedly: "Yingying, you can still live nearby after you get married. Your grandma and I are too late to be happy, so how could we find you annoying!"

Grandma Zhang also happily asked: "Yingying, are you telling the truth? Are you and him really planning to buy a house nearby? Are you trying to make us two old guys happy?"

Zhang Rongying smiled and said: "Of course it is true. Grandma, if you are free, you can help us look around here and see if there is a suitable house, and we will buy it."

Grandma Zhang's eyes narrowed when she heard this, and she said repeatedly: "Yingying, there is no need to buy a house. Our family happens to have a house nearby. We can just renovate it!"

Zhang Rongying smiled and said: "Grandma, isn't this just to take care of his face? I'm afraid that a grown man would be uncomfortable living in our house, so it's better to buy a new one."

Grandpa Zhang expressed his position directly: "Yingying, if you really want to buy a house, grandpa will sponsor you 500,000 yuan."

Zhang Rongying had a smile on her face when she heard this, but she still shook her head and refused: "Grandpa, how can I take your money? I have saved some money myself, and he can pay the rest."

Grandpa Zhang said: "Just take it if I give it to you. Sooner or later, my money won't be yours."

Grandma Zhang also helped: "Yes, your grandfather and I are quite old. It's useless to ask for so much money. Since you want to buy a house by yourself, you might as well buy something better."

Zhang Rongying was moved in her heart and said: "Thank you, grandparents. We are not in a hurry about buying a house for now. Let's get in the car and go to dinner first. If there is really a need, I will tell you."

While they were talking, Zhang's father had already driven out of the car.

Grandpa Zhang nodded and said, "Well, let's go eat first. Anyway, we will always be your strong backing."

…

Bailiang style XX restaurant.

Jiang Feng's family of five arrived here twenty minutes earlier than the agreed time.

In the box, Jiang Feng was assigning tasks, "Dad, you will be responsible for greeting Uncle Zhang later. Mom, you will be responsible for greeting Aunt Zhang. Sister, you will be responsible for greeting Grandma Zhang. As for Grandpa Zhang, I will be in charge. Brother, take care of everyone.

Act according to the situation and be sure to greet my sister-in-law’s family!”

With a confident smile on his face, Jiang's father said: "Don't worry, Xiaofeng. Our family is now a matchmaker, and we all rely on our words. Although your mother and I are not as good as you three brothers and sisters, in the village

I have also done a lot of matchmaking for people, and I have developed a good tongue, so I will definitely have no problem greeting my future in-laws."

Jiang's mother said with the same confidence: "Your father is right, we have developed our tongues, and we will ensure that we will greet our future in-laws in the right place."

Jiang Xue smiled excitedly: "If I can't make Grandma Zhang laugh ten times tonight, I'll be considered derelict in my duty."

Jiang Feng laughed and said, "Okay, let's go all out later and let the Zhang family experience the enthusiasm of our Jiang family."

Jiang Fei's heart was filled with emotion. It's great to have such a family!

…

Half past five in the afternoon.

The five members of the Jiang family finally met the five members of the Zhang family.

After greeting each other, the five members of the Jiang family invited the Zhang family into the box as previously agreed.

After everyone is seated, the waiter immediately serves the food.

All are Bailiang County's specialties, and a big table was filled.

When the meal started, Jiang Feng was responsible for greeting Grandpa Zhang and asked, "Grandpa Zhang, what kind of wine are you drinking? White wine, red wine, foreign wine, glutinous rice liqueur, fruit wine, medicinal wine, and beer."

Grandpa Zhang said with a smile: "Xiao Feng, you are so polite. You have even prepared so many kinds of wine. I don't usually drink much, but today I am happy, so I will drink a cup of glutinous rice sweet bar!"

Jiang Feng poured the glutinous rice liqueur and said with a smile: "Because I don't know what kind of wine you like to drink, Grandpa Zhang, so I'll prepare a few more. Anyway, I often put wine in the trunk of my car, so it doesn't take much to put a few more."

"

Grandpa Zhang smiled and said: "I heard from Yingying that you returned to your hometown to work as a matchmaker after graduating from college last year. In less than half a year, you opened a company here in the provincial capital. You are really a formidable young person!"

Jiang Feng moved the poured glutinous rice wine in front of him and said modestly: "Grandpa Zhang, thank you. I was just lucky enough to follow the right path. Grandpa Zhang, you are the real one. You just had a barefoot doctor as your master when you were a child."

, I learned a little bit about medical theory, and then with decades of unremitting research and practice, I now have considerable influence in the traditional Chinese medicine community in the provincial capital. This is my real skill.

That is to say, Grandpa Zhang, you don’t have the qualifications to study medicine. If you had been taught by famous doctors since childhood, it is estimated that with your talent in medicine, your achievements today will definitely be more than this, and you can become a truly famous doctor with a name in the medical field."

These words made Grandpa Zhang smile. This was what he was most proud of in his life. Jiang Feng praised him in this regard, which could be said to have really scratched his itch.

As a result, Grandpa Zhang got into a good mood. While eating food and drinking wine, he talked to Jiang Feng about how difficult it was for him to study medicine in the past. Even if he was a barefoot doctor, it was not just a matter of apprenticeship.

After talking about the difficult apprenticeship process, Grandpa Zhang talked about his medical study process under Jiang Feng's guidance.

After all, the master he worshiped was only a barefoot doctor, not a famous doctor. His master's knowledge was limited, and the environment at that time was busy with work, so he couldn't teach him much at all. It only took him a few years to teach him to identify common herbs and

Just explain some pharmacology.

Grandpa Zhang's achievements today are really all due to his talent and his drive to study.

These were the "highlight moments" of his hard work and progress, and Grandpa Zhang was talking particularly enthusiastically.

Then as we chatted, the topic extended to the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine. Jiang Feng would interject from time to time, and basically got to the point. Grandpa Zhang became more and more excited as we chatted and couldn't stop at all.

Next to her, Grandma Zhang was also chatting with Jiang Xue. It was too late for them to meet each other.

Grandma Zhang was an eyewitness to that special era of the last century. Her father was kidnapped by those who used chicken feathers as arrows because of a trivial matter. It can be said that he suffered a lot.

Therefore, when Grandma Zhang mentioned this matter, her teeth itched with hatred.

Jiang Xue followed Grandma Zhang to criticize those people. When she was done criticizing, she said: "Grandma Zhang, as the saying goes, evil people will be punished. There were people like this in our village back then. There was a family not far from my home. He was

The person who was tied up was the most severe one, the rope was cut directly into the flesh, and the rope was almost invisible.

Being tied up like this for a day can kill someone. Anyone who is tied up for more than half a day can be said to have lost half his life.

At least several people in the village were tied to death by him like this!

Later, his fate was very tragic. After those years passed, his eyes became blind within a few years. Then one of his sons was gored to death by the horns of the big buffalo while herding cattle. Not long after, he

The wife committed suicide by jumping into a river for no apparent reason, and the remaining son broke his leg while climbing a tree.

In short, no one in the family has a good ending, this is retribution."

Grandma Zhang was very relieved after hearing this, "Yes, those who do evil will have their retribution. The man who arrested my father did not end well either..."

On the other side, Father Jiang and Father Zhang also had a very interesting chat.

The two middle-aged men are close in age, and they are both fellows from Bailiang County. Their living environment is basically the same, so naturally they have endless topics to talk about. When they were young, they went down the river to fish, climbed up the tree to dig out bird's nests, and chatted until they were tired.

Catch cicadas with rubber, catch spicy nose bugs with homemade nets, go to the fields to catch frogs at night, use peanuts to catch mice, etc.

The two of them ate food, drank wine, and chatted about the past when they were young, and their relationship grew closer unknowingly...

Jiang's mother and Zhang's mother chatted about their parents' shortcomings. Under Jiang's mother's subtle flattery, Zhang's mother's conversation was also very lively. The two whispered, and there was a burst of laughter from time to time. After a few moments, the relationship developed like a friendship.

Sisters for many years.

Zhang Rongying was dumbfounded by how clearly arranged arrangements were made for her grandparents, parents, and parents.

After a while, I turned around and saw my boyfriend having dinner in Danding. It was obvious that such a scene was expected by him, and Zhang Rongying couldn't help but secretly sigh, the whole family is so good if they are all matchmakers!

With such a family around, he really doesn't have to worry about being left out.

At this moment, Zhang Rongying no longer had any psychological burden and began to enjoy the delicious food comfortably with her boyfriend.
