Also Jiang Feng will be no wonder surprised, the forest three treasures previous time come to invite the intermediary for his son, now his daughter-in-law has married smoothly, believes soon, he rose for the grandfather rank. 也难怪江枫会惊讶,林三宝上次来是替他儿子请媒,如今他的儿媳妇已经顺利娶回去,相信用不了多久,他就升为爷爷级别了。 Finally, this time comes actually to invite the intermediary for his grandfather, this was really unexpected. 结果,这次来竟然是替他的爷爷请媒,这真的是太出乎意料了。 Jiang Feng calms down, puts out a hand empty to direct, making the opposite party sit down, while asked: „Uncle Lin, I wants to ask, your grandfather this year your age?” 江枫定了定神,一边伸手虚引,让对方坐下,一边问道:“林叔,我想问问,你爷爷今年贵庚？” Forest three treasures somewhat awkward replying: „This year just full 90.” 林三宝有些尴尬的答道:“今年刚满90了。” Jiang Feng met: the water gives him, again asked the cup „Uncle Lin, this time invited the intermediary to the old gentleman, was your works as the meaning of descendant, was old gentleman's own meaning?” 江枫接了杯水递给他,再次问道:“林叔,这次给老爷子请媒,是你们这些当儿孙的意思,还是老爷子自己的意思？” forest Sanbao helpless saying: „Is my grandfather's own meaning, he does not know that was stimulated by anything, suddenly wants to look for a spouse, to show determination, he even said, does not ask him to fast to him.” 林三宝无奈的说道:“是我爷爷自己的意思,他老人家也不知道受了什么刺激,忽然间就想找个老伴,为了表决心,他甚至放出话来,不给他找他就绝食。” The Jiang Feng smile said: „Can not have the wife young, in old age must have the partner, this is understandable, at present old gentleman's physical condition how?” 江枫微笑道:“年少可以无妻,老来必须有伴,这是可以理解的,目前老爷子的身体状况怎么样？” forest Sanbao said: „His is healthy, what farm work is competent, my physical quality not necessarily compared with him.” 林三宝道:“他身体好得很,什么农活都能干,我的身体素质都不见得比他强。” The Jiang Feng nod said: „Ok, I understood, this intermediary I met.” 江枫点头道:“行,我明白了,这媒我接了。” forest Sanbao said: „That troubled Grandmaster river.” 林三宝道:“那就麻烦江大师了。” Jiang Feng said: „Is impolite, this is my job.” 江枫道:“不客气,这是我的份内之事。” Then, two people also the smalltalk several, the forest three treasures said goodbye to depart. 接下来,两人又客套了几句,林三宝才告辞离去。 ...... …… In the afternoon. 下午。 A worn-out old room, Ms. Ling of whole face wrinkle is washing rice to cook a meal. 一间破旧的老屋,满脸皱纹的凌老太太正在淘米煮饭。 Ms. Ling this year was 85 years old, although her full house descendants, but in supporting her issue, said that is really a long story, Ms. Ling who stronger in any case entire life is not willing kick around like the rubber ball by the descendants, then returns to old room to make simply own. 凌老太太今年已经85岁了,虽然她满堂子孙,但在赡养她的问题上,说起来真的是一言难尽,反正一生要强的凌老太太不愿意被儿孙们像皮球一样踢来踢去,便干脆回到老屋自己煲自己的。 What Ms. Ling uses is the fuel stove, the firewood that burns usually picks does. 凌老太太用的是柴火灶,烧的柴禾都是平时捡来的干枝。 In steaming rice, Ms. Ling remembers this rough life, cannot help but sighed spookily. 在蒸饭的时候,凌老太太想起她这坎坷的一生,不由得幽幽叹了口气。 Ms. Ling was born in last century fighting age, her father is also a real man, has heart that kills the enemy to serve the country, only finishes an apprenticeship the victory/quick body not to predecease pitifully, leaves behind mother and daughter to struggle to ask in that turmoil of war age to save. 凌老太太出生在上个世纪的抗战年代,她的父亲也是一条好汉,拥有一颗杀敌报国的心,只可惜出师未捷身先死,留下她们母女俩在那个兵荒马乱的年代挣扎求存。 In Ms. Ling at age 13, her mother had the serious illness, just before the end first was worried she walked the later daughter to be bullied all alone, then took responsibility her married a greatly her 16-year-old hunting household. 在凌老太太13岁那年,她的母亲染上了重病,临终前担心她走了之后女儿无依无靠会受人欺负,便作主把她嫁给了一个大她16岁的猎户。 Ms. Ling the following hunting household husband lived more than ten years of calm and steady life, this perhaps was her this life happiest period of time, two people altogether had four children. 凌老太太跟着猎户丈夫过了十几年的安稳生活,这或许就是她这一生最幸福的一段时光了吧,两人一共生育了四个孩子。 Some day, the husband walks into the mountain to go hunting, then explained thoroughly in the mountain. 某一天,丈夫进山打猎,然后就彻底交待在大山里了。 Husband's death, making this originally also calculate that the happy family instantaneously becomes precarious, Ms. Ling a woman, must make the workpoint to raise four children, difficulty can be imagined. 丈夫的死,让这个原本还算幸福的家庭瞬间变得风雨飘摇,凌老太太一个女人,要挣工分养育四个孩子,这其中的困难可想而知。 Ms. Ling clenched teeth to insist two years, then welcomed her second husband. 凌老太太咬牙坚持了两年,然后迎来了她的第二任丈夫。 The second husband is an old hoodlum, over 40 years old could not marry the wife, bump into the woman to be willing to marry him rarely, even if bring four children in such an arrangement, he does not care. 第二任丈夫是条老光棍,四十多岁了都娶不上老婆,难得碰到女人肯嫁给他,哪怕是带着四只拖油瓶,他也一点都不在乎。 Were many a labor force to share, Ms. Ling heavy burden reduced finally, may wait for her after the second husband's child was born, the burden starts to aggravate. 多了一个劳力分担,凌老太太身上的重担总算减轻了些,可等她跟第二任丈夫的孩子出生后,负担又开始加重。 But what misfortune never singly comes is, the second husband also died. 而祸不单行的是,第二任丈夫也死了。 Therefore, Ms. Ling becomes the widow once again. 于是,凌老太太又再次成为了寡妇。 The Ms. Ling third husband, is kills the pig artisan, he died the wife, four children, in addition her five children, two people composed a big family. 凌老太太的第三任丈夫,是个杀猪匠,他是死了老婆的,原本就有四个孩子,再加上她的五个孩子,两人组成了一个大家庭。 Then, Ms. Ling had two children with the third husband, in addition is 11 children. 然后,凌老太太跟第三任丈夫又生了两个孩子,加起来是十一个孩子。 The time that this marriage continues is quite actually long, ten years ago, the third husband died of illness, Ms. Ling turned into the widow again. 这段婚姻持续的时间倒是比较长,一直到十年前,第三任丈夫病逝,凌老太太才再次变成了寡妇。 Remembered initially that difficult years, Ms. Ling cannot help but bitter and astringent smiled, she for that several children, does not know that ate many to receive many crimes painstakingly, old this/should they supported her time, they refused, really hurts thoroughly her heart. 想起当初那段艰辛的岁月,凌老太太不由得苦涩的一笑,她为了那几个儿女,不知道吃了多少苦受了多少罪,老了该他们赡养她的时候,他们一个个却推三阻四,真的是伤透了她的心。 She does not think clearly, similarly raises the child, the child who why others raise is so filial, but she raises is actually one group of selfish people? 她都想不明白,同样是养孩子,为什么别人养出来的孩子就那么孝顺,而她养出来的却是一群自私自利的人呢？ Quick, the food steamed, Ms. Ling comes out the rice end, dug several spoons of pickled cabbages from the Vanuatu pot, then flavorful ate. 很快,饭就蒸熟了,凌老太太把米饭端出来,从瓦锅里挖了几勺酸菜,然后便有滋有味的吃了起来。 This pickled cabbage is the self-made pickled cabbage of rural area, is used to cook the pickled cabbage also several streaky porks, the fuel cooks, this flavor speaks the truth really fragrant, the first eating person can swallow down the tongue. 这酸菜是农村的自制酸菜,用来炖酸菜的还有几块五花肉,柴火慢炖,这味道说实话是真的香,第一次吃的人能把舌头都吞下去。 However, regarding eating the person of custom, flavor also such, nothing unusual. 不过,对于吃习惯的人来说,味道也就那样,没啥稀奇的。 When Ms. Ling a person is having the dinner alone leisurely, a black car stopped slowly in her main house gate mouth, come was not others, was Jiang Feng. 就在凌老太太独自一个人慢条斯理的吃着晚饭的时候,一辆黑色小车缓缓停在了她的家门口,来的不是别人,正是江枫。 „Grandma Ling.” After getting out, Jiang Feng has not passed through the gate directly, but raised the fruit to shout one in the entrance. “凌奶奶。”下车后,江枫并没有直接进门,而是提着水果在门口喊了一声。 „Who?” Ms. Ling complied with one, then puts down the rice bowl, walked. “谁啊？”凌老太太应了一声,然后放下饭碗,走了出来。 „Grandma Ling hello/you good, is really embarrassed, disturbing you to eat meal, I called Jiang Feng, you called me the small maple tree to be good.” Jiang Feng speech while hands over the fruit. “凌奶奶你好,真是不好意思,打扰你吃饭了,我叫江枫,你叫我小枫就好。”江枫一边说话一边把水果递过去。 Ms. Ling received the fruit, asked: „Does small maple tree, what matter you ask my old lady to have?” 凌老太太接过水果,问道:“小枫,你找我这老太婆有什么事吗？” The Jiang Feng smile said: „Grandma Ling, is this, I actually am a matchmaker, this time is to help the person discusses marriage.” 江枫微笑道:“凌奶奶,是这样的,我呢其实是个媒人,这次是帮人提亲来的。” Ms. Ling, said: „Small maple tree, you found fault the person, my children have gotten married completely, was not one's turn me to manage as for the marriage of grandchildren, naturally had their parental manages.” 凌老太太哦了一声,说道:“小枫啊,你是不是找错人了,我的儿女全部都已经成家了,至于孙辈的婚姻也轮不到我管,自然有他们的父母管。” Jiang Feng said with a smile: „Grandma Ling you misunderstood, my time helps the object who discusses marriage is not your children, but is yourself.” 江枫笑道:“凌奶奶你误会了,我这次来帮提亲的对象不是你的儿女,而是你自己。” Ling Ms. hears word was choked continually by the saliva coughed for more than ten seconds, waits to recover consciousness stares the big eye saying: „Ben't small maple tree, you joking with my old lady?” 凌老太太闻言被口水呛得连咳了十多秒钟,等缓过来才瞪大眼睛道:“小枫,你别不是在跟我老太婆开玩笑吧？” Jiang Feng sincere say/way: „Where this matter can bring to crack a joke!” 江枫正色道:“这种事情哪能拿来开玩笑啊！” Ms. Ling speechless say/way: „Small maple tree, the old lady my half body has been buried, every month only depends on the minimum assurance to live, who will make you discuss marriage?” 凌老太太无语道:“小枫,老太婆我半截身子都已经入土了,每个月只靠低保活着,谁会让你来提亲啊？” Facts speak louder than words, Jiang Feng also no longer rubbish, direct introduced: „ Held that Grandpa forest who I discussed marriage this year was 90 years old, but his was very healthy, anything exactly competent, more than hundred jin (0.5 kg) things can also select several li (0.5 km) road, the physical quality was not worse than the 50-60 years old person. 事实胜于雄辩,江枫也不再废话,直接介绍道:“托我提亲的那位林爷爷今年已经90岁了,不过他老人家身体很好,什么活都能干,百多斤的东西还能一口气挑几里路,身体素质不比五六十岁的人差。 He has seven children, four sons and three daughters, are all very filial, this time he plans to look for a spouse, his these descendants also agree. 他有七个孩子,四个儿子三个女儿,全都挺孝顺的,这次他打算找个老伴,他的那些儿孙们也是同意的。 In brief, this wedding, so long as Grandma Ling you nods, that basically became. ” 总之,这门婚事只要凌奶奶你点头,那基本就成了。” Heard Jiang Feng saying that opposite party 90 -year-old, Ms. Ling knows that the opposite party was not takes her to seek happily, the physical quality of opposite party also made her surprised, she this year is 85 years old, compared with the contemporaries is also healthy, but over a hundred jin (0.5 kg) thing her several years does not dare to select early. 听到江枫说对方已经90岁,凌老太太就知道对方不是来拿她寻开心的,对方的身体素质也着实让她惊讶,她今年85岁,身体跟同龄人相比也还算硬朗,但上百斤的东西她早几年就不敢挑了。 But most makes her envy, is filial of opposite party descendant. 而最让她羡慕的,还是对方儿孙的孝顺。 „Grandma Ling, your situation I know much, treats your attitude by your children, as long as you also active, is not thinking makes them raise. Such being the case, asked a spouse to pass the remaining years of life simply together, after all the descendant was filial, was inferior to the spouse to be intimate, you said that was?” “凌奶奶,你的情况我知道不少,以你那些儿女对待你的态度,你但凡还能动,都不会想着让他们养。既然如此,干脆就找个老伴一起度过余生,毕竟儿孙再孝顺,也不如老伴贴心,你说是不是？” Ms. Ling was convinced, she had married three men, regarding remarrying and does not have any psychological barrier, then the nod said: „Small maple tree you said is reasonable, does not know where person he is? Now was not the old society, both sides must first meet to be married.” 凌老太太被说服了,她先后嫁过三个男人,对于再嫁并没有什么心理障碍,便点头道:“小枫你说得有道理,不知道他是哪里人？现在不是旧社会了,双方总得先见个面才能谈婚论嫁。” Jiang Feng said with a smile: „This nature, in arranging you meets before Grandpa forest, I thought it is necessary first to notify your descendants, so as to avoid you did not utter a word the matter managing, the words that at the appointed time they made were unattractive.” 江枫笑道:“这个自然,不过在安排你跟林爷爷见面之前,我觉得有必要先跟你的那些儿孙们打个招呼,免得你们一声不吭把事给办了,到时他们闹起来的话就不好看了。” Ms. Ling discontented snort/hum a sound said: „Don't they have a face noisily?” 凌老太太不满的哼了一声道:“他们有什么脸去闹？” Jiang Feng said: „Provides against contingencies, I first go to greet with them, has a look at them is anything responded that said again.” 江枫道:“以防万一嘛,我先去跟他们打个招呼,看看他们是什么反应再说。” Although Ms. Ling thought that her matter she can take responsibility completely, but sees Jiang Feng to work to consider such thoroughly, she is not naturally blocking, said: „Ok, that small maple tree you asks these brats, if they agree , if not agree, which will shout is loud I to live in his home to go tomorrow.” 凌老太太虽然觉得她的事她自己可以完全作主,但见江枫做事考虑得这么周到,她自然也不拦着,说道:“行,那小枫你就去问问那些兔崽子,他们要是同意也就罢了,要是不同意的话,哪个喊得大声我明天就住他家去。” Jiang Feng smiles to say with a smile: „Understood, I do not disturb, you and others my good news!” 江枫莞尔笑道:“明白,那我就不打扰了,你等我好消息吧！” Ms. Ling shows the smile: „Good!” 凌老太太露出笑容道:“好！” Gazes after Jiang Feng to board to depart, Ms. Ling in the happy returning room continues to eat meal, food a moment ago that bowl of food, the flavor that but eats seemed to be more fragrant than before! 目送江枫上车离去,凌老太太心情愉快的回屋里继续吃饭,饭还是刚才那碗饭,但吃起来的味道似乎比之前更香了！ ...... …… After two minutes . 两分钟后。 Jiang Feng stops the car(riage) in Ms. Ling's second son main house gate. 江枫把车停在凌老太太二儿子家门口。 Ling Laoer also sixty years old, Jiang Feng arrives at this year time, their families are also eating meal, on the table has fish , meat, contrasts an old mother person to eat the pickled cabbage to mix the food in the old room, many somewhat satirized. 凌家老二今年也有六十几岁了,江枫到来的时候,他们一大家子也正在吃饭,桌上有鱼有肉,对比老母亲一个人在老屋吃酸菜拌饭,多少有些讽刺。 Regarding this, Jiang Feng did not have the right to say anything. 对此,江枫也没权利说什么。 both sides after polite greeting, saying that Jiang Feng then comes straight to the point: „Uncle Ling, my time comes to want with you to discuss your mother's matter.” 双方在客气的打过招呼后,江枫便开门见山的说道:“凌伯,我这次过来是想跟你商量一下你母亲的事情。” A Ling Laoer brow slightly wrinkle: „Discussed my mother's matter?” 凌家老二眉头微微一皱:“商量我母亲的事情？” Jiang Feng said: „Simply speaking, is your mother felt oneself were old, the physical condition is one year is inferior for a year, while the present also active, was deliberately considering asks a spouse to have a comfortable old age together, therefore makes me come with your several brothers to greet.” 江枫道:“简单来说,就是你母亲觉得自己年纪大了,身体状况是一年不如一年,趁现在还能动,就寻思着找个老伴一起安度晚年,所以让我来跟你们几个兄弟打个招呼。” Ling Laoer complexion changes, immediately opposes saying: „It is not good, eighty -year-old person, what spouse but also looks , making one know how our brothers also did go to see the person?” 凌家老二脸色一变,立刻反对道:“不行,都八十几岁的人了,还找什么老伴啊,让人知道了我们兄弟还怎么出去见人啊？” In the Jiang Feng heart laughs, you in old room make oneself are felt all right to see the person by a oneself eighty -year-old mother person, then the old mother wants to look for a spouse, didn't you have the face to go to see the person? 江枫心中嗤笑,你们让自己八十几岁的老母亲一个人在老屋自己煲自己的都好意思出去见人,然后老母亲想找个老伴,你们就没脸出去见人了？ Jiang Feng is not used to him, offers a sacrifice to Ms. Ling trump card directly, said: „Uncle Ling, your mother said that if you do not agree also good, who opposed that she will live in which home to go tomorrow, lets him completely the filial piety.” 江枫也不惯着他,直接祭出凌老太太的杀手锏,说道:“凌伯,你母亲说了,你们要是不同意也行,谁反对她明天就住谁家去,让他尽尽孝心。” As soon as Ling Laoer's wife listens, this must, immediately like Yang person unceasing dry cough. 凌家老二的媳妇一听,这还得了,当即像阳了的人一样不断的干咳。 Such obvious prompt, if Ling Laoer was unable to comprehend, that two people could not arrive at the same place in the past, Ling Laoer like seized the neck instantaneously, half sound could not speak. 这么明显的提示,要是凌家老二还无法领会,那当年两人也走不到一起,凌家老二瞬间就像被掐住了脖子,半响说不出话来。 Jiang Feng opens the mouth to say at the right moment: „ Uncle Ling, troubles you to give your several brothers to telephone, conveys your mother's meaning, your brothers several discussed a unified opinion while convenient. 江枫适时开口道:“凌伯,麻烦你给你的几个兄弟打个电话,转达一下你母亲的意思,你们兄弟几个顺便商量出一个统一的意见。 If your mother asks spouse your brothers not to have the opinion, she hundred years later, did not need you to be responsible. 如果你母亲找老伴你们兄弟没意见的话,那她一直到百年之后,都不用你们负责了。 Otherwise, if your brothers have the opinion, her following birth and death, your brothers are responsible. ” 反之,如果你们兄弟有意见,那她接下来生老病死,就得你们兄弟负责。” „Ok, you wait a bit, my discussed with my brothers.” Ling Jia Laoer said, then puts out the cell phone, entered the room quickly. “行,你稍等,我这就跟我那些兄弟商量商量。”凌家老二说完,便拿出手机,快步进入了房间。 His wife greets with Jiang Feng, in a hurry with. 他老婆跟江枫打了个招呼,也匆匆跟了进去。 Sees this, in the Jiang Feng heart sighs with emotion, the same meter/rice raises hundred types of people, Ms. Ling several sons are not the unfilial people, but the light son is filial, the daughter-in-law filial is the key. 看到这一幕,江枫心中感慨,一样米养百样人,凌老太太的几个儿子并非都是不孝之人,可光儿子孝顺没用,儿媳妇孝顺才是关键。 Probably about a half hour, Ling Laoer walked, their brothers' concrete discussing process Jiang Feng does not know, does not want to know, he only knows the result is good, Brother Ling Jia unanimously agreed mother looks for spouse's idea. 大概半个小时左右,凌家老二重新走了出来,他们兄弟具体的商量过程江枫不知道,也不想知道,他只知道结果是好的,凌家兄弟一致同意了母亲找老伴的想法。 After obtaining the answering tuart of wish, Jiang Feng also no longer stays behind, drove to arrive in the town/subdues directly a room, then telephones to the forest three treasures. 得到想要的答桉后,江枫也不再多留下,直接开车来到镇上开了间房,然后给林三宝打了个电话。 A telephone connection, Jiang Feng then said directly: „Uncle Lin, your grandfather's object, I have looked, I simple told you her material, you conveyed to your grandfather, if felt, that tomorrow can arrange them to meet.” 电话一接通,江枫便直接说道:“林叔,你爷爷的对象,我已经物色好了,我把她的资料简单跟你说说,你转达给你爷爷,如果觉得可以,那明天就可以安排他们见面。” forest Sanbao hears word said with amazement: „Is so quick?” 林三宝闻言惊讶道:“这么快啊？” Also he is no wonder surprised, he invited the intermediary in the afternoon, this how many hours, Grandmaster river looked for the object on the help/gang, what deity speed was this?
