Wufu Town. 五福镇。 Mirror light village. 镜光村。 Zhang Deyuan( for details sees Chapter 1 entering the stage that Sir) left hand proficiently holds water Yantong, the right hand the shredded tobacco forces in the cigarette holder, then one according to the cigarette lighter, one group of flame braves to light the shredded tobacco, puts attracts in the Yantong mouth mouth, water Yantong then gu winter gu winter made a sound. 张德元(详见第一章出场的那位大爷)左手扶着水烟筒,右手熟练的把烟丝塞进烟嘴,然后一按打火机,一团火苗冒出来把烟丝点燃,搁在烟筒口的嘴巴一吸,水烟筒便咕冬咕冬的响了起来。 Attracted several, toward the Yantong mouth air flush, has then burnt the similar shredded tobacco to blow down the cigarette holder slightly, skilled twists a handful shredded tobacco to force in the cigarette holder, repeated the movement. 吸了几口,微微往烟筒口吹气,便把烟嘴已经燃烧得差不多的烟丝吹掉,又熟练的捻起一小撮烟丝塞进烟嘴,又重复刚才的动作。 So after 56 times, satisfied Zhang Deyuan puts water Yantong one side. 如此五六次之后,满足的张德元才把水烟筒搁到一边。 The older generations in hundred beam counties, as long as is smokes, most likely is the pump smoke. 百梁县的老一辈,但凡是抽烟的,十有八九都是抽水烟。 Therefore in the rural areas of hundred beam counties, almost each and every family entrance has water Yantong, this thing is selects a section of superior azure bamboo or the bamboo, holds the upper half bamboo node, with burning the friendly awl chooses an appropriate position to drill a pinhole in the bamboo tube to the declivity, then inserts with an is about 20 cms bamboo tail, puts in the right amount of clear water, when tries to attract may hear the unceasing gu winter gu winter the sound, this was the end product. 因此在百梁县的农村,几乎家家户户门口都有水烟筒,这玩意是选用一截上等青竹或毛竹,捅开上半部竹节,用烧热火锥在竹筒中部选个适当位置向下斜钻一个小洞,然后再用一枝长约20厘米竹尾插进去,放入适量清水,试吸之时可听到不断的咕冬咕冬的响声,这便是成品了。 Naturally, this thing said simply, but must make the level to come is not easy. 当然,这玩意说起来简单,但要做出水平来就不容易了。 Water Yantong that the average people make although also has the gu winter sound, but this sound like music, rhythm not to taste. But the water Yantong rhythm that the expert makes is not only delightful, and can make a sound for a long time is very very long, even there is an elusive ideal condition. 普通人做出来的水烟筒虽然也有咕冬声,但这个声音就像音乐一样,韵律不对味。而高手做出来的水烟筒不仅韵律悦耳,且还能响很久很久,甚至有种空灵的意境。 The smoke pulled out crisply, but Zhang Deyuan's mood choked with rage very much. 烟是抽爽了,但张德元的心情还是很窝火的。 Just he also loudly quarrels with the spouse, the cause was very actually simple, was the spouse prepared to go to bathroom, discovered that in the restroom did not have the paper, then her restroom sharply on, immediately was not coming out to catch Zhang Deyuan one to cuss out. 刚刚他又跟老伴大吵了一架,起因其实很简单,就是老伴准备上厕所的时候,发现厕所里面没纸了,然后她厕所都不急着上了,马上就出来逮着张德元一顿臭骂。 Nothing but was scolds Zhang Deyuan to go to bathroom the paper used up, even the toilet paper was actually disinclined to trade, then started to extend toward other aspects from this small toilet paper, scolded that to call a stream of abuse Zhang Deyuan. 无非就是骂张德元上厕所把纸用完了,却连厕纸都懒得换,然后又从这小小的厕纸开始往其它方面延伸,把张德元骂得那叫一个狗血淋头。 Zhang Deyuan hears that to call air/Qi, forgets to trade a toilet paper, as for scolding that raises to the plane of political principle? 张德元听得那叫一个气啊,就忘记换个厕纸而已,至于这么上纲上线的骂吗？ He was together for dozens years with this old lady, actually knows her character, so long as does not respond her, she scolded for several minutes is also insipid, oneself will stop. 他跟这老太婆相处了几十年,其实知道她的性格,只要不搭理她,她骂上几分钟也就没劲了,自己就会消停下来。 But where Zhang Deyuan can bear this air/Qi, naturally quarrelled with her, result that old lady is more is enthusiastic noisily, quarrelled with Zhang Deyuan for nearly a half hour, stops under admonishing of big daughter-in-law. 可张德元哪里受得了这气啊,自然是跟她吵了起来,结果那老太婆是越吵越来劲,足足跟张德元吵了近半个小时,才在大儿媳妇的劝戒下消停下来。 Because trades toilet paper trifling thing, quarrels present this appearance, two people really the caret does not gather. 就因为换厕纸这点屁事,就吵成现在这模样,两人真特么的八字不合。 In the past how on obsessed settled on her, really could not think through! 当年怎么就鬼迷心窍的看中了她呢,真是想不通啊！ Tomorrow the youngest son will come back, at the appointed time must ask Qinghe Town that Grandmaster river to act as a matchmaker to him, the marriage concerns the lifetime happiness, really compares anything to be important. 明天小儿子就回来了,到时一定要请青河镇那位江大师给他做个媒,婚姻关乎到一生的幸福,真的比什么都重要。 Absolutely the marriage that cannot let the youngest son is also similar to him to be suffered like this. 绝对不能让小儿子的婚姻也如同他这样受折磨。 ...... …… Because stretch/open Rongying only adjusted two days of class, therefore she only lived in an evening in Jiang Jia, next day after having eaten the ethyl alcohol, then made river flying return to the provincial capital her. 由于张榕莹只调了两天班,因此她只在江家住了一个晚上,第二天吃过进火酒后,便让江飞把她送回省城了。 But other relatives after eating ethyl alcohol, went back! 而其他亲戚在吃过进火酒后,也都回去了！ Outside grandmother who except that was left behind by the river Feng three brother and sister vigorously, is only left over the paternal aunt family of three not to go back. 除了被江枫三兄妹极力留下的外婆以外,就只剩下姑姑一家三口还没回去。 Now is the end of the year, every day has the laborer chartered car group by group to come back, basically is the car(riage)s of package of native place natives, this is in the past ten years the laborer quite common going home way. 现在已经是年底了,每天都有一批又一批的打工仔包车回来,基本都是包老家本地人的车,这是最近十年来打工仔比较常见的回家方式。 First chartered car go by car transfers to another vehicle again is much more convenient, and price is not very expensive/noble, therefore one by the end of the year the same villages or the laborer in next door villages gathers the chartered car to go home. 一来包车比自己坐车再转车要方便得多,二来价格又不是很贵,所以一到年底同一个乡镇或者隔壁乡镇的打工仔就集聚起来包车回家。 As these laborers come back, being on intimate terms market of each villages then lived it up. 随着这些打工仔回来,各个乡镇的相亲市场便热闹了起来。 ...... …… As river Wendong who once the Longshan Village hoodlum list shouldered the target, he after the marriage, „abdicates to give up one's post to a more qualified person”, pushed up the first place throne his younger brother river Vinci. 作为曾经龙山村光棍榜扛把子的江文东,他在结婚之后,就“退位让贤”,把他的弟弟江文西推上了榜首的宝座。 Because the two brothers are in turn in the grandfather and father who home considers the paralysis, this year river writing Dongliu looks after for a year at home, next year will be one's turn younger brother river Wenxi to look. 因为兄弟俩是轮流在家照顾瘫痪的爷爷与父亲,今年江文东留在家照顾了一年,明年就轮到弟弟江文西照顾了。 Therefore the year the day of 21, river Vinci was direct the refined language labor to come back! 所以年廿一这天,江文西便直接辞工回来了！ Because the wife was pregnant has 34 months, prepared food anything's river writing east from however not to need her to begin, he went to the kitchen to make one table of meals directly, with own brothers entire two cups. 因为老婆怀孕已经有三四个月了,做饭什么的江文东自然不用她动手,他直接下厨做了一桌饭菜,跟自家兄弟整两杯。 Eating meal time, Zou Xiaoyin said: „Little brother, the big matchmaker small maple tree of our Longshan Village came back to celebrate the new year, your matter of lifetime importance must Spring Festival hurry to solve while this, otherwise new year's celebration small maple tree embarking provincial capital, your matter does not know how long must drag!” 吃饭的时候,邹小银说道:“小弟,咱们龙山村的大媒人小枫回来过年了,你的终身大事要趁这个春节赶紧解决,否则过完年小枫出发省城,你的事又不知道要拖多久了！” river Wendong depending on vegetable/dish while said: „This matter must manage with a sense of urgency, tomorrow I will buy the present to visit for you to invite the intermediary.” 江文东一边挟菜一边接话道:“这事是要抓紧办,明天我就买礼品登门替你请媒。” river Wenxi drank a liquor, sighed: „My this situation, I do not have the courage to be on intimate terms, always felt at heart cannot some people settle on me, going is also disgraceful!” 江文西喝了口酒,叹道:“咱家这种情况,我都没勇气去相亲,心里总感觉不会有人看中我,去了也是丢人现眼！” Zou little galatic equator: „Little brother, your idea is not good, your elder brother is like you, the age is bigger than you, wasn't he also same gives to marry me?” 邹小银道:“小弟,你这种想法可不行啊,你哥跟你一样,年纪还比你大呢,他还不是一样把我给娶回来了？” river Wenxi said: „This is my brother luck is good to run into the sister-in-law you, if meets others to be possible not to say!” 江文西道:“这是我哥运气好遇到嫂子你,要是遇到其他人可就不好说了！” river Wendong swallows the meal of mouth, „you must believe the strength that the small maple tree acts as a matchmaker, until now, the small maple tree acts as a matchmaker one time is then succeeds, had not heard that some people want for the second time.” 江文东把嘴里的饭菜咽下,“你要相信小枫做媒的实力,至今为止,小枫给人做媒都是一次便成功,还没听说有人要相第二次的。” Zou Xiaoyin nods saying: „Yes, your elder brother said right, the acting as a matchmaker strength of small maple tree is obvious to all, even if you do not have the confidence to yourself, must to the small maple tree confident!” 邹小银点头道:“是啊,你哥说得没错,小枫的做媒实力是有目共睹的,就算你对自己没有信心,也要对小枫有信心！” This saying persuaded river Vinci actually, he thinks, then blows up the brave gas channel/angrily said: „Good, I give a try!” 这话倒是说动了江文西,他想了想,便鼓起勇气道:“好吧,那我就试试看！” ...... …… After the news that since river Feng comes back travels, starting from years 21 that day, then some people visited to invite the intermediary one after another. 自从江枫回来的消息传开后,从年廿一那天开始,便陆续有人登门请媒。 First visits to invite the intermediary was Longshan Village hoodlum list once shouldering target river Wendong, he came for his younger brother, was Longshan Village current hoodlum list first place river Vinci invites the intermediary. 第一个登门请媒的就是龙山村光棍榜曾经的扛把子江文东,他是来替自家弟弟,也就是龙山村现任光棍榜榜首的江文西请媒的。 river Feng as usual only from inviting the intermediary red packet pulled out 100 dollars, then remaining drawing back to river Wendong, said: „The eastern Elder Brother, I arrange Elder Brother to be on intimate terms and look at the main house gate the year ago as far as possible, strives to end Spring Festival to decide the matter.” 江枫照例只从请媒红包中抽了一百块钱,然后把剩下的退给江文东,说道:“东哥,我尽量在年前安排西哥相亲与看家门,争取过完春节就把事定下来。” river Wendong a face feels grateful: „That trouble small maple tree you, you really had the graciousness of restoration to my brother! Without words that you help, possibly my brother were never recurring!” 江文东一脸感激道:“那就麻烦小枫你了,你对我兄弟真的有再造之恩啊！没有你帮忙的话,可能我兄弟俩都要绝后了！” river Feng beckons with the hand to say with a smile: „The eastern Elder Brother you spoke discreetly, now the eastern sister-in-law was pregnant to have 34 months, you usually may result are serving carefully, do not let her do the heavy labor again.” 江枫摆手笑道:“东哥你言重了,现在东嫂怀孕有三四个月了吧,你平时可得小心伺候着,别让她再干什么重活。” river Wendong hehe said with a smile: „I understand, now where giving up makes her do the heavy labor, is the hot vegetable/dish does not make her begin, said exaggerating has not fed her to eat meal on the difference!” 江文东嘿嘿笑道:“我懂,现在哪舍得让她干重活啊,就是热个菜都不让她动手,说句夸张的就差没喂她吃饭了！” „That is good!” “那就好！” river Feng nods with a smile, then also asked: „Did the chicken that passing first month after childbirth to eat start to raise?” 江枫笑着点了点头,然后又问道:“坐月子要吃的鸡开始养了吗？” river Wendong replied: „Has raised, so long as she can eat up, during the time of childbirth , a day both chickens do not have the issue!” 江文东答道:“早就养上了,只要她吃得下,月子期间一天两只鸡都没问题！” Two people chatted for ten minutes, however east the Hou Jiang article departs. 两人聊了十来分钟,然后江文东才离去。 Second visits to invite the intermediary, similarly is a native of Longshan Village, their sons still on the road of going home, the impatient couple then first took the present to visit to invite the intermediary! 第二个登门请媒的,同样是龙山村人,他们的儿子还在回家的路上,心急的两口子便先提着礼品登门请媒了！ The person who third visits to invite the intermediary made river Feng be somewhat startled, was he just graduated to prepare unexpectedly, when matchmaker on the bus service had the advertisement a Sir. 第三个登门请媒的人就让江枫有些吃惊了,竟然是他刚毕业回来准备当媒人时在班车上打广告时遇到的一位大爷。 At that time the passengers on vehicle by river Feng that mysterious marriage calculation ability shocking, this Uncle Zhang Deyuan personally experienced that river Feng fierce, he said at that time and other youngest son worked at the end of the year from Guandong, visited to ask river Feng to act as a matchmaker. 当时车上的乘客都被江枫那神奇的婚姻推算能力给震惊到了,这位张德元大爷更是亲身体会到了江枫的厉害,当时他就表态说等他小儿子年底从粤省打工回来,就登门请江枫做媒来着。 However this polite speech river Feng has not taken seriously, has not thought at the end of the year this Old Master Zhang Deyuan also really led his youngest son to visit to invite the intermediary as agreed that this many were somewhat not as he expected. 不过这种场面话江枫也没有当真,可没想到年底这位张德元老爷子还真的依约带着他小儿子登门请媒了,这多少有些出乎他的意料。 „Old Master stretch/open, long time no see!” river Feng smiles is greeting. “张老爷子,好久不见了！”江枫微笑着打招呼道。 „Grandmaster river, I went to initial a half year of making!” “江大师,我来赴当初的半年之约了！” Old Master Zhang Deyuan played a joke, then introduced: „Grandmaster river, this is my youngest son Zhang Guihua, yesterday evening came back from Guandong.” 张德元老爷子开了句玩笑,然后介绍道:“江大师,这就是我小儿子张桂华,昨天晚上才从粤省回来。” Zhang Guihua greets immediately: „Grandmaster river is good, has really heard so much about you!” 张桂华立刻打招呼道:“江大师好,真的久闻大名了！” river Feng responded with a smile: „Brother Hua, hello/you good!” 江枫笑着回应道:“华哥,你好！” After both sides have greeted, river Feng then greeted the opposite party to enter the room to drink tea. 双方打过招呼后,江枫便招呼对方进屋喝茶。 After a smalltalk, Zhang Deyuan then starts to introduce his son in detail, „ Grandmaster river, my family Guihua this year is 28 years old, 1.71 meters in height, the high school record, worked that side Guandong has almost ten years. At present is a fish lives the master, provides food to wrap up, every month the wages are 6000 basic salaries add deducting a percentage. 一番客套后,张德元便开始详细的介绍他儿子,“江大师,我家桂华今年28岁,身高1米71,高中学历,在粤省那边打工差不多有十年了。目前是一位鱼生师傅,包吃包住,每月工资是6000底薪加提成。 His so many years also saved 300,000-400,000, the work experience does not lack, if this Spring Festival can solve the marital important matter, that next year couple will go to the family/home fish to live the shop to the provincial capital together. ” 他这么多年也存了300,000-400,000,工作经验也不缺,如果这个春节能把婚姻大事解决,那明年夫妻俩就一起到省城去开家鱼生店。” river Feng said with a smile: „Brother Hua this condition is good, does not know that what you do have to request to being on intimate terms object?” 江枫笑道:“华哥这条件挺好的,不知道你对相亲对象有什么要求？” Zhang Guihua said: „Without the detailed request, Grandmaster river you looks at the arrangement on the line, but best to endure hardship, after all I want to return to the provincial capital to start an undertaking, at the appointed time opens definitely is a family-run shop, being busy at very being laborious. If cannot endure hardship, that seperately invited the person, this was very not cost-effective.” 张桂华道:“没有具体的要求,江大师你看着安排就行,不过最好是能吃苦的,毕竟我想回省城创业,到时开的肯定是夫妻店,忙起来会很辛苦。如果吃不了这个苦的话,那就得另外请人,这就很不划算了。” „Got it, I looked for the object who conformed to you to request as far as possible!” “明白了,我尽量物色个符合你要求的对象！” At this point, river Feng looked that said to Zhang Deyuan: „Is Old Master stretch/open, you together not well with spouse's relations?” 说到这里,江枫看向张德元道:“张老爷子,你跟老伴的关系还是相处得不好吧？” Zhang Deyuan hears word sighed, „far more than was not good, yesterday also loudly quarrelled with her.” 张德元闻言就叹气,“何止是不好啊,昨天才又跟她大吵了一架。” At this point, Zhang Deyuan said the cause that yesterday quarrelled, then said indignantly: „This old lady too does not reason with, for the matter of this trivial, scolded me there endlessly quite a while, was really driven beyond the limits of forbearance.” 说到这里,张德元把昨天吵架的起因说了一遍,然后愤愤不平道:“这老太婆实在是太不讲理了,就为了这屁大的事,在那里喋喋不休的骂我半天,真的是忍无可忍。” river Fengdao: „This is you two personality to/clashes, I did not have good solution, but I can try to look for now with the daughter-in-law who your couple personalities coincide, hopes that under this daughter-in-law's influence, can make your conjugal relations have some changes.” 江枫道:“这是你们两个性格相冲,原本我也没有太好的解决办法,不过现在我可以试着找个跟你们夫妻性格相合的儿媳妇,希望在这个儿媳妇的影响下,能够让你们的夫妻关系有一些改变。” Hears here, in Zhang Guihua eyes cannot help but one bright, blurted out: „Grandmaster river, you looks for the object for me, but can also affect the relations to my parents?” 听到这里,张桂华眼中不由得一亮,脱口而出道:“江大师,你替我物色对象,还能影响到我爸妈的关系？” He has a dream with the big brother wants to make the parents live together in peace and harmony, after all they listen to the parents to quarrel from infancy to maturity regularly, this feeling really does not feel better. What a pity like Grandmaster river said that the parents were really the inborn character clash, no matter how urged no matter used, should quarrel will quarrel. 他跟大哥做梦都想让父母和睦相处,毕竟他们从小到大隔三差五就听父母吵架,这种感觉真的不好受。可惜就像江大师说的一样,父母真的是天生的性格相冲,不管怎么劝都不管用,该吵还是会吵。 But listens to the meaning of Grandmaster river now, can unexpectedly while for he looks for the object, affects his parents' relations while convenient. If really can make the parents live together in peace and harmony, that this wife married is worth! 可现在听江大师的意思,竟然能在替他物色对象的同时,顺便影响他父母的关系。如果真能让父母和睦相处的话,那这个老婆就娶得太值得了！ river Feng said with a smile: „Slang reaching an agreement woman prosperous three generations, the bad woman destroys three generations, do not think that marries the wife is your matter, that is the matter that concerns the entire big family, I look for a good woman to come back for you, making your domestic peace prosperous, will not present this quarrel again.” 江枫笑道:“俗话说好女人旺三代,坏女人毁三代,别以为娶老婆是你一个人的事,那是关乎到整个大家庭的事情,我替你物色个好女人回来,让你家庭和睦兴旺,不会再出现这种争吵的局面。” Zhang Deyuan hears word somewhat excited saying: „Grandmaster river, you, if can achieve this point, you were the obligation people in my Laozhangjia!” 张德元闻言有些激动的说道:“江大师,你要是能做到这一点的话,那你就是我老张家的大恩人了！” He is not hoping with that old lady couple love, he biggest desire is to hope that old lady do not go crazy to scold him day in day out, will let him several days later the enjoyable day, he thanked heaven and earth! 他不是盼着跟那老太婆夫妻恩爱,他最大的愿望就是希望那老太婆别一天到晚发神经骂他,让他过几天舒心日子,那他就谢天谢地了！ river Feng smiles saying: „Old Master stretch/open is polite, initially we can meet on the vehicle, but you believe that my marital calculation ability keeps an appointment, then looks for the prosperous family/home daughter-in-law in my area of competence for you, that is I should do.” 江枫微笑道:“张老爷子客气,当初咱们能够在车上相遇,而你又相信我的婚姻推算能力过来赴约,那在我能力范围内替你找个旺家儿媳,那是我应该做的。” Although river Feng said that has not cashed, but in Zhang Deyuan heart is very excited, he is the marital calculation ability of Xin Jiang maple tree, on drawing he will be looking for Grandmaster river the second day that the youngest son will come back, has not thought that will really have such unexpected happiness. 虽然江枫说的还没兑现,但张德元心中已经很激动了,他就是相信江枫的婚姻推算能力,才会在小儿子回来的第二天就拉着他来找江大师,没想到竟然还有这样的意外之喜。 Then, both sides also chatted several, departure that Zhang Deyuan father and son thanked profusely. 接下来,双方又闲聊了几句,张德元父子才千恩万谢的离去。
