Wang Lin is almost 30 years old because of his poor family and has not married a wife. In the village, the guys at the same age as Wang Lin are married and both have children. Whenever I see other people’s children jumping around in the village, I think of my son in his late thirties and have yet to marry a daughter-in-law, and I feel very sad! For the sake of his son’s marriage, the two had long been anxious. The two of them couldn’t sleep every night, thinking about when they could marry his son home. Worry! If he married his son to his wife, Dad thought, he could close his eyes even if he died. Mom is thinking about this too. Some people in the village laughed at her saying that her son was so old and he had not married a daughter-in-law because her and her husband had no abilities. I don’t believe in this evil. I have found a matchmaker close to me dozens of times. It means that my son’s daughter-in-law is not nearby, so tomorrow I will find a matchmaker in the distance to tell my son the wife. It’s really hard work. One day, Wang Lin’s mother was pulling the soles of her son on the kang, when she suddenly heard someone call her: “Is Wang’s mother at home?”
“In…in…” Wang Lin’s mother put the soles of the shoes on the kang while she went down and agreed. She walked out of the house and saw that the person was the first female matchmaker she met in the distance to find a matchmaker. She happily led the female matchmaker to the room and said, “She Auntie Zhang, sit down and rest for a while, and I will pour you water. “
Wang Lin’s mother poured some boiling water into the cup, then put some sugar and stirred it with a spoon a few times before putting it in front of the matchmaker.
Matchmaker Zhang said: “I will tell your son a daughter-in-law. Her name is Wang Min. She is two years younger than your son and twenty-six years old. She is about the same length and can’t make clothes. She can only cook. . I explained the situation of your home to her parents, and they agreed. I came to your home today to tell your son a daughter-in-law, are you willing to tell the truth?”
Wang Lin’s mother happily replied: “I listen to my wishes, I listen to my wishes. As long as I can cook, it doesn’t matter if I don’t know how to make clothes. I will make clothes if I have children.”
Matchmaker Zhang was also very happy to see that the marriage was completed, and said: “You two agree, then you can decide the marriage first if you see a good day.”
Wang Lin’s mother agreed and said: “Just do it. When my old man comes back, I will tell him about it, and ask him to go to Mr. Xicun Yinyang to ask a good day and get married.”
Don’t think Wang Minzhe can’t make clothes. Since he married Wang Lin, he has been very filial to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. The old couple love this wife very much. The young couple are also very harmonious. Six years after their marriage, Wang Min had four children, two boys and two girls. The children’s clothes are all made by two old mothers. Due to the heavy burden of the children, Wang Lin had to do business with his uncle to earn money to support his family.
When the elderly of both parties are alive, the children do not lack clothes to wear. However, the elderly of both sides parted one by one, and Wang Lin and his uncle were doing business outside for two or three years before returning home. The children have no clothes to wear. Does this embarrass Wang Min? There is land for buying clothes. It’s not easy for a husband to do business outside to earn money. I can’t spend it randomly! After much deliberation, Wang Min decided to go to the market to buy some cloth and make it himself.
The next morning,Wang Min took the children to sleep and bought the cloth at the market. She didn’t know how to sew clothes, so she sewed four pockets of size. When the children woke up, Wang Min told them to get into their own pockets. The children who were still ignorant felt that it was fun to get out of the pocket except for urination.
One day, as soon as Wang Lin came back from the outside and entered the house, the daughter-in-law shouted at the kang: “Big bags and small pockets, get out of your dad.”
When the children heard the motherly shouts, they got out of their pockets one by one.
Wang Lin saw this scene in front of him, both angry and funny, and complained to his wife, “Didn’t I bring you the money back? Why don’t I buy clothes for the child.”
