I, reborn, really don't want to be a matchmaker!

Instead, they would envy her.

I found a high-paying job that pays well.

Around 5:30 pm.

Zhao Hu's house.

After Wang Xiaoli, along with Pan Xiaoju and Pan Xiaoli, greeted a group of relatives at the threshing ground, they were about to go find Pan Daju when Liu Xin's voice came from the winding mountain road: "Xiaoyu... Xiaoyu, I've finally found you."

"What brings you here?" Pan Xiaoyu asked in surprise, and quickly went to greet him.

Wang Xiaoli and Pan Xiaoju burst out laughing.

They knew that nothing unexpected would happen.

There will be another wedding banquet soon.

The other relatives and friends at the threshing ground were also very curious. Among them, Pan Daju's mother, Li, pulled Wang Xiaoli to a corner and asked, "Xiaoli, who was that young man who just called out to Xiaoyu?"

Friends and family around them also perked up their ears.

"He is Xiaoyu's boyfriend, Liu Xin," Wang Xiaoli whispered back.

"Really? Which village is he from?" Li asked again.

"He's not from the countryside. His family lives in the area around the Dayu River, but I don't know the exact location," Wang Xiaoli replied truthfully.

"Living in the area around the Dayu River, that's the city?" Li asked in astonishment.

Other relatives and friends were incredibly envious.

After all, in rural areas, very few girls marry into the city.

"Yes, Liu Xin is from the city," Wang Xiaoli confirmed.

"Little Fish, how come she's so lucky?" Li was unhappy.

"It is indeed quite good," Wang Xiaoli laughed.

She enjoyed seeing Li Shi jealous and unhappy.

"Does Liu Xin have a formal job?" Li asked again, unwilling to give up.

She would feel at peace if she didn't have a formal job.

"Yes, he's a regular employee at the cotton mill, but the salary isn't high, only 105 yuan a month." Wang Xiaoli looked at Li Shi: "Aunt, why are you asking so many questions?"

"Nothing, just asking casually," Li said with an awkward smile. "By the way, how did Xiaoyu and Liu Xin meet?"

"How else could we have met? Of course, it was through matchmaker Qin!" Wang Xiaoli replied.

"Anyway, they're destined to be together," Pan Xiaoju chimed in.

"Really?" Instead of being happy for Pan Xiaoyu, Li frowned.

After all, her daughter Pan Daju married into a rural family, so when they chatted about everyday matters, they couldn't compare to Pan Xiaoyu's family.

But her other relatives and friends didn't think that way, and they all surrounded Wang Xiaoli.

"Xiaoli, who is this matchmaker Qin?"

"Yes! Please introduce us to each other."

"My daughter is eighteen this year. If she can marry into a family in the city and enjoy a comfortable life, then I can finally rest easy."

"My daughter is prettier than Xiaoyu. If I had the chance, I would also like her to marry someone from the city."

"Xiaoli, quickly tell me Qin the matchmaker's contact information."

"I want one too."

"And me!"

……

Wang Xiaoli looked at the relatives surrounding her with a headache.

Pan Xiaoju, who was standing to the side, was also somewhat surprised by the scene.

Seeing Qin Chaoyang pushing his bicycle onto the winding mountain road, with Qin Chaolu sitting on the back, she pointed and said, "That young man is Matchmaker Qin. If you want to be a matchmaker, you can find him yourself."

"Yes! She's Qin the matchmaker, she's amazing," Wang Xiaoli chimed in.

Upon hearing this, a group of relatives and friends immediately ran towards the mountain path.

Wang Xiaoli and Pan Xiaoju breathed a sigh of relief and then quickly made their escape.

On the mountain path, Qin Chaoyang was somewhat bewildered when he saw a group of strangers running towards him.

Qin Chaolu was also startled: "Brother, what do they want? Do they want to steal the twisted dough sticks from my hand?"

"How could that be? There must be something else going on," Qin Chaoyang replied, then bent down and picked up the stone from the ground.

In his opinion, if these strangers came to beat him up, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

Unexpectedly, the elderly woman at the head of the group stepped forward and grabbed his hand: "Matchmaker Qin, I've heard you're very good at matchmaking. Could you help me find a match for my daughter?"

"As long as she can marry into the city, the red envelope is no problem."

"Come on! Young man, have a smoke!"

"Smoke my Baisha cigarettes, they're great!"

……

Qin Chaoyang looked at the enthusiasm of the crowd.

I immediately realized what was going on.

In order to prevent the misunderstanding from growing.

He immediately called Zhao Hu and Pan Daju to come to the rescue.

The reason why Pan Daju stayed at Zhao Hu's house the day before her wedding was due to local custom and was also a result of discussions with Zhao Hu's family.

Otherwise, given the inconvenient transportation in Toad Village and the nearly 100-kilometer distance between the two families, the relatives and friends might not be able to enjoy the banquet tomorrow noon.

Even though Zhao Hu and Pan Daju rushed over to save the day, Qin Chaoyang was still surrounded by the octagonal table and couldn't go anywhere.

Having no other option, Qin Chaoyang addressed the crowd surrounding him, saying, "You can ask me to be your matchmaker, but you have to follow the rules. First, go to my assistant, Wang Xiaoli, and register your personal information. Understand?"

"Understood! Understood!" a woman nodded.

"Wang Xiaoli is in the main room, hurry and go find her." The others who had surrounded Qin Chaoyang all ran towards Wang Xiaoli.

Wang Xiaoli and Pan Xiaoju were secretly laughing when they saw a group of relatives and friends running towards her. She was so frightened that she turned around and ran away.

But unfortunately.

They haven't even gotten five meters away yet.

They were blocked at the back door and couldn't leave.

This was exactly the effect Qin Chaoyang wanted. After telling Zhao Hu and Pan Daju, he took Qin Chaolu and ran away.

Wang Xiaoli watched Qin Chaoyang push his bicycle away into the distance, and she was still on the verge of tears.

She then realized that she couldn't play tricks on Qin Chaoyang.

If she does that, she'll likely be the one who suffers more than she gains, not Qin Chaoyang.

……

Early the next morning.

Qin Chaoyang got up.

Just as he was about to wash up, his younger sister, Qin Chaolu, ran into the room with her short legs: "Big brother, Mom said I can go to the banquet in Toad Village today."

"Hehe... I didn't say I wouldn't take you!" Qin Chaoyang laughed as he looked at his sister.

"When is my brother leaving?" Qin Chaolu jumped up happily.

"We'll leave after we wash up and change into a suit." Qin Chaoyang took Qin Chaolu's small hand and walked quickly towards the kitchen.

After washing up in the kitchen, Qin Chaoyang didn't immediately change into his suit; instead, he went to the inner room.

After chatting with his mother in the inner room for a while, he changed into a suit, pushed his bicycle, and took his sister to Toad Village.

Now that we have bicycles, although there are many sections of the road where we can't ride, our speed has still increased a lot.

About an hour later, Qin Chaoyang arrived at the grain drying ground in front of Zhao Hu's house.

Because Pan Daju and her relatives and friends had brought the bedding and other dowry yesterday, there was no need to go to pick up the bride today, nor to do any other complicated things. She could just sit at the octagonal table and wait for the banquet.

Moreover, Qin Chaoyang was seated at the head table today because he was the matchmaker for Zhao Hu and Pan Daju.

But even though he was in the seat of honor, he couldn't skimp on the money he was supposed to give as a gift.

After showing Qin Chaolu to Wang Xiaoli, Pan Xiaoyu, and Pan Xiaoju, Qin Chaoyang went to the octagonal table where people were registering their wedding gift money.

In Toad Village, wedding banquets are held only once a day at noon, so the gift money must be registered before noon.

Most of the coins from 1988 were worth one or two yuan.

The only ones who received five yuan were Pan Daju and Zhao Hu's direct relatives.

Following his mother's instructions, Qin Chaoyang gave two yuan as a gift.

Seeing that there were quite a few people in line, Qin Chaoyang was about to leave to find his sister when an elderly woman with graying temples, leading a lame girl, blocked his way.
