The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 99: Zhou Family Matchmaking (Additional Update)
Jiang Cheng went back downstairs and to the car, and found that some children had already climbed onto the trunk of his car.

"It's okay for you to play in the car, but be careful not to fall when you get off, okay?" Jiang Cheng said to the children in the car. They were just a few children, there was no need to drive them away.

"I know, thank you uncle."

"Well, we will be careful, uncle, you see I'm very powerful, I can do it~~."

There were actually girls playing in the carriage. When they heard that Jiang Cheng was not rushing them to do anything, they politely thanked Jiang Cheng and called him uncle.

But one boy actually wanted to show off to Jiang Cheng, probably because Jiang Cheng told them to be careful when getting off the car. The boy felt that Jiang Cheng looked down on him, and then he jumped down from the car while talking to Jiang Cheng.

The 1.2-meter-high carriage was not really high for people of that era. Boys of that era were like monkeys, running and climbing everywhere. But people make mistakes and horses stumble. The boy who was talking to Jiang Cheng wanted to say that he could jump down easily.

He did jump down, but he didn't stand firmly. After jumping down, he took two steps forward and landed face first on the ground.

When I got up again, my knee was scraped and my right arm and face were bruised.

The boy first looked at Jiang Cheng, then at where he was bleeding. He seemed to think about it, felt that it must be bitter, and then burst into tears.

Jiang Cheng wanted to laugh, but the other person was in such a miserable state, it seemed that he shouldn’t laugh in front of him.

Fortunately, this is not the future, otherwise the child would jump out of your car and get injured, Jiang Cheng would probably cry. If you encounter a unreasonable parent, you will probably have to pay for the treatment.

In this day and age, if you have a minor injury like this, you can just take it to the infirmary over there and get some medicine.

However, Jiang Cheng did not let the child go away crying. He gave him two White Rabbit milk candies in the car as performance fee.

To get things from the car, it should be said that he put some things in the cab first, and then Jiang Cheng began to pick.

I must bring cigarettes and alcohol, and a pack of Sanjiacun brand lotus root starch. As for malted milk, forget it for now, maybe Zhou Lingying likes it.

As for drinks, two flavors are mixed into one box. In fact, Changcheng also sells drinks, but the flavors are different.

You can take two cans of canned food and a pound of milk candy. The White Rabbit milk candy these days is actually very mellow and can be drunk by soaking in water.

These things alone were already considered a generous gift. Although there were still many things in the space, some of them were not presentable, such as anthracite, water chestnuts, toothpaste, etc. It was not that Zhou Lingying's family did not need them, but that no one would send such things to their doorstep.

After thinking about it, Jiang Cheng finally got a big grass carp, weighing more than 10 kilograms. He also got some river shrimps. Jiang Cheng had to have a drink with his father-in-law today, so he had to prepare some good dishes.

There were a lot of things, and there were still people in the corridor of this double-staff dormitory. After thinking about it, Jiang Cheng still didn't put the sorted things in the space, but took them in two batches.

The stuff wasn't heavy, but it was hard to carry. Jiang Cheng first put the cigarettes, alcohol, and candy together in a net bag, and then took the lotus root powder, fish, and shrimp. As for the drinks, he would get them later, it wouldn't take a few minutes.

Jiang Cheng moved the things and walked towards the staff building. Many people on the first floor also saw clearly that the driver did not park here by chance. Instead, the young driver knew someone here and brought so many things. He must have a special relationship. Most people these days have good eyesight, except for the elderly who have presbyopia. The eyesight of others is basically good, and few young people wear glasses.

The liquor, cigarettes and candies were just packed in a net bag, so you could tell what they were from the outside. With so many things, everyone who saw them was guessing who this young driver was related to on the upper floor.

Jiang Cheng ran twice and brought all the things to Zhou Lingying's door. The neighbor aunt next door was kind enough to move a stool for him to sit on so that he could wait for Zhou Lingying's family to come back.

It's not long before get off work ends. Even if I'm delayed on the way, I should be back in less than half an hour at most.

Then Jiang Cheng seemed to be surrounded by people, and many neighbors came to chat with him. They asked him where he was from, his age, and his family situation. He was obviously Zhou Dongming's son-in-law, but these questions were like matchmaking for Jiang Cheng, so Jiang Cheng had no choice but to answer.

Anyway, after today, even without Zhou Dongming’s family telling anyone, the neighbors here will know what kind of person Zhou Lingying found to marry.

I don’t know what kind of version will be released at that time. There are only two characters at the beginning and the plot is entirely made up.

It was just that Jiang Cheng didn't wait for Zhou Lingying's family to come, but he actually waited for the matchmaker to come, but she wasn't there to matchmake for him.

It was just a coincidence. Yesterday, Zhou Lingying's mother Liu Xiaofang asked matchmaker Wang Huimei to find a partner for her second son Zhou Xingcai. Today, the matchmaker brought one over, and of course the girl's family also came.

Zhou Xingcai has a job, his parents also have jobs, and his older brother also has a job. In addition, his brother got married, and his company arranged a house for him to move out.

As for Zhou Xingcai's sister, Zhou Lingying, because she was arranged to go to the countryside, the matchmaker Wang Huimei didn't take the man's sister seriously. When introducing her to the woman, she just mentioned it briefly, saying that there was a sister who went to the countryside, and then nothing happened.

He has a job, and his family members all have jobs. In addition, matchmaker Wang Huimei said Zhou Xingcai is not bad looking, and with such family conditions and a man, women really line up to marry him.

Matchmaker Wang Huimei also arranged a similar time and came with the girl and her parents. There is no rule on whether the girl or the boy should go to the girl's house. One is to see the availability of both parties, and the other is to see which party has better conditions and is more popular.

But later on, I don’t know why matchmaking always involves the man going to the woman’s house to meet her, at least that’s how it works most of the time.

Now the situation at the Zhou family is quite interesting. No one from Zhou Dongming's family has returned yet. The person who is related to Zhou Dongming's family is the son-in-law who came for the first time and is also Zhou Xingcai's brother-in-law.

As Zhou Xingcai's brother-in-law, he is the most qualified to receive the matchmaker and the woman's side first.

"Auntie, auntie, uncle, and this girl. Have some candy. This is the White Rabbit milk candy I bought from Shanghai. And this drink, I also brought it from Shanghai. I wonder if we have it here." Jiang Cheng entertained politely.

Jiang Cheng and Zhou Dongming are considered a family, so the hospitality he provides is no different from that provided by the Zhou family.

Matchmaker Wang Huimei was the first to be surprised when she saw Jiang Cheng. She was entrusted by Liu Xiaofang to help Zhou Xingcai with matchmaking. She knew the situation of Liu Xiaofang's family, but suddenly such a son-in-law appeared and brought so many things here. This might mean that an important person of Zhou's family was missed.
