After having breakfast, Jiang Feng drove to the county town with his girlfriend. He was accompanied by his sister and his aunt's family of four. Fortunately, Jiang Feng's car had seven seats, otherwise he would have had to drive another car.

After driving for more than ten minutes from home, we got on the highway.

Seeing this, Jiang Chunlian couldn't help but sigh: "The country is developing so fast. When I used to go to Guangdong Province to work, I had to go to the county town to take a bus. There were no expressways at that time. For a long time, they were winding and narrow. The dirt road turns to mud when it rains.

The only road that enters the county's main road is a shabby asphalt road. The road from my hometown to the county town is only more than 70 kilometers. It takes four or five hours to take a shuttle bus, which is simply life-threatening.

It’s not like now, we can get there in an hour, even if we drive faster it doesn’t even take an hour.”

Jiang Xue smiled and said: "Our country's transportation construction is indeed advancing rapidly. When our county is connected to high-speed rail, it will be even more impressive!"

Jiang Feng shook his head and said: "How can it be so easy? Even the city has not yet connected to the high-speed rail. Although our county has a large population, there should be no hope of connecting to the high-speed rail within ten years."

Huang Lingwei and Cui's father and son didn't say anything when they heard their aunt and nephew talking about traffic problems. As locals in Shenzhen City, they had never worried about traffic.

After all, Shenzhen's transportation is so developed that it ranks among the top in the world.

After chatting along the way, Jiang Feng and his party arrived at the county seat around ten o'clock in the morning.

After finding a place to park the car, Jiang Feng went shopping with his aunt and others.

It is said to be shopping, but it is actually a nostalgic trip for Jiang Chunlian. In the 1990s, Jiang Chunlian went to Shenzhen City to work with other friends in the village, and came to the county town every time she took the bus.

While waiting for the bus, I often walk around the county town.

The county seat was very small at that time, and after visiting several times, Jiang Chunlian became familiar with the county seat.

After getting married, Jiang Chunlian rarely came to the county town. Now that she is visiting her hometown again, she naturally feels a different feeling when recalling the scene when she went south to work.

“This place used to be a wasteland, but I didn’t expect it to become so prosperous now!”

“There used to be many novel shops on this road, but now there are none.”

"This used to be the most prosperous place in the county. I didn't expect it to be so deserted now."

"here……"

Every time Jiang Chunlian passes a road, she recalls it with emotion. From her memories, everyone can probably imagine what the county was like in the 1990s.

After shopping for more than an hour, Jiang Feng saw that the time was almost up, so he said aloud: "Aunt, uncle, cousin, you go shopping first, I will take the time to be a matchmaker for my aunt's cousin."

"Okay, Xiaofeng, go and do your work!"

"Xiao Feng, you don't have to worry about us, it's more important to do business."

"Xiao Feng, go ahead and do your work. We can just go shopping by ourselves. Just call us after you finish your work."

Everyone knew that this was the purpose of Jiang Feng's visit to the county, so they all agreed and asked him to get down to business quickly.

Jiang Feng nodded, and told his sister about arranging lunch for his aunt and them, before taking Huang Lingwei back to the parking place, and then drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

…

Civil Affairs Bureau.

Jie's mother went through the divorce procedures for another couple. Seeing them leaving without any regrets, she couldn't help but sigh softly and said: "Marriage in this era is really fragile. Although the new marriage law makes divorce The difficulty has increased a lot, but it still can’t stop these people whose relationships are broken!”

A female colleague next to her who was close to Xie’s mother sighed: “Yes, times have changed. Like our parents’ generation, marriage must last a lifetime, and there is basically no divorce.

In our generation, twenty years ago, divorce was very rare.

But in the past ten years, not only has divorce become common among young people, but the number of divorces among people of our generation has also begun to increase, which is really sad."

"In our father's generation, if anyone got divorced, they would be judged everywhere and put under great pressure. Therefore, no one would mention the word divorce unless it was absolutely necessary."

Having said this, Jie's mother shook her head and said: "In this day and age, divorce has become commonplace, and there is no discrimination against divorced people. There are not a few couples who go to our Civil Affairs Bureau when they have a quarrel.

Just like before the new marriage law came out and there was no one-month cooling-off period, the divorce rate was really frighteningly high, and it was still rising year by year. Divorce was as simple as a boyfriend and girlfriend breaking up."

The female colleague said: "My daughter has not yet fallen in love, and I have already started to worry about her. I will have to keep my eyes peeled and find a good partner for her. It is enough for her to enter the Civil Affairs Bureau once."

Jie's mother said: "Who says it's not the case? I'm also worried about my son. He has been more independent since he was a child. Even his father can't influence him. It's really hard to say whether he can listen to us on major marriage matters!

"

The female colleague sighed: "Let's do our best and listen to fate. Now the era of 'parents' orders and matchmaker's words' has long passed. Today's young people have more positive ideas than others, especially when it comes to marriage issues.

A few young people really listen to what their parents say."

"It's true. The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. It's useless to think about it now. It's time to get off work!"

"You go first, I'll sort out this information and then leave."

Jie Mu nodded and left after get off work.

When she went downstairs and just walked out of the door, ready to ride her electric car home, a young man and woman suddenly appeared in front of her. The handsome boy smiled and asked: "Hello, aunt, can you please delay?"

Do you have a few minutes?"

Jie's mother looked at the couple in front of her. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. They seemed to be a perfect match. She had worked in the Civil Affairs Bureau for more than 20 years and had registered hundreds of thousands of men and women, but she had never seen them before.

Such a well-matched couple.

She couldn't help but stop and said with a smile: "Are you here to register? It's already off work at this time. If you want to register, please come back after 2:30!"

As soon as these words came out, Huang Lingwei couldn't help but blush.

Jiang Feng laughed and said, "Auntie, you misunderstood. We are not here to register, or we did not register so early. We are here specifically to see you, Auntie."

Jie's mother was surprised and said, "You came here specifically to find me?"

Jiang Feng nodded and introduced himself: "Auntie, my name is Jiang Feng. I am a professional matchmaker. This is my girlfriend. We came to see you this time because we heard that your son is still single and want to introduce him to a partner.

, I wonder if you are interested, Auntie?"

Jie's mother was very surprised when she heard this. His son was only 23 years old, and a matchmaker had already come to his door?

Well, it’s not surprising that a matchmaker came to my door. What’s strange is that the matchmaker who came to me is so young.

Is the current matchmaking market so busy?

"Matchmaker Jiang, right? This is really the first time I've seen such a young matchmaker like you!"

Jiang Feng has so much experience in being a matchmaker now. Hearing Jie Mu's tone, he knew that she didn't believe in his professional ability, so he said calmly: "Auntie, don't look at me young. I'm afraid the couples I've matched are older than

Other matchmakers make more matches in their lifetime.

Even Secretary Yan’s daughter is my matchmaker!”

After all, Jie's mother was a member of the system. After hearing this, she immediately perked up and asked: "Secretary Yan? Which Secretary Yan?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said: "Who else can be Secretary Yan? Of course it is our parents!"

As soon as these words came out, Jie's mother was shocked and said in disbelief: "How... how is this possible?"

This is a long story, but in fact it only takes a moment.

Seeing someone else coming downstairs, Jiang Feng said, "Auntie, this is not the place to talk. How about we find a place to eat, call your son over, and chat while we eat?"

If it were before, Jie's mother might have refused, but after hearing Jiang Feng say that Secretary Yan's daughter was also his matchmaker, she couldn't say no anyway.

Then he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call my son right away. How about we go to Ezhuang next door to eat?"

Jiang Feng naturally had no objection and said with a smile: "Okay, auntie, please call first and we'll wait for you at Ezhuang." After saying that, he got in the car with his girlfriend, who had never said a word to him, and drove two or three hundred meters away.

The Goose Village far away.

Seeing this, Jie's mother quickly took out her mobile phone and called her son Jiefang.

As soon as the call was connected, Jie's mother told her son what had just happened, and finally said: "Although I don't know whether what Jiang's matchmaker said is true or false, but judging from the temperament of the two of them and the car they drove,

It seems that they are not ordinary matchmakers. Would you like to come over and have a meal with them?"

Jiefang was a little curious after hearing this, so he replied: "Okay, I'm off work here, so I'll go over and have a look."

"Well, then I'll go there first, and you can just come directly to Ezhuang!"

"I know, I'll be there soon. Hang up first."

"Um!"

After hanging up the phone, Jie Mu got on her electric bike and headed towards Ezhuang.

On the other side, Huang Lingwei had been secretly thinking about her boyfriend's matchmaking skills. When she was about to arrive at Ezhuang, she asked: "Husband, that aunt obviously doesn't believe in your matchmaking ability. If you don't mention Secretary Yan,

,What method should we use to gain her trust?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said: "Even if we don't mention Secretary Yan, I can still gain her trust. For example, let her see my ability to calculate marriages. This is your husband and I's biggest reliance as a matchmaker. Once I use it, it will really be invincible.

."

Huang Lingwei asked: "Husband, what would you do if you didn't have the ability to predict marriage?"

Jiang Feng replied: "If you don't succeed once, you will have to rely on hard work in the future. You will go to her every now and then, and you won't be empty-handed every time. After three times, no matter whether she believes in your matchmaking ability or not, she will definitely be willing to give it to you.

An opportunity.”

Huang Lingwei muttered: "That would be too troublesome!"

At this time, the car had already arrived at Ezhuang. Jiang Feng stopped the car and said, "Trouble is normal. If matchmakers were that good, there would be matchmakers everywhere."

Huang Lingwei smiled and said: "That's true."
