Just when Liu Dahe and his wife were anxious about their daughter Liu Caihong, perhaps God was favored by God. Liu Dahe's distant cousin's wife Yang Xiuxiu came to reveal a message to Liu Dahe, saying that she was the son of a deputy director of the Sanjiang Commune, a 21-year-old man, who just returned from the army and was very good. When Liu Dahe heard this, he immediately said to Yang Xiuxiu, "You will go with the photos of the rainbow tomorrow. If the man likes you, you will propose marriage immediately (the meaning of introduction) and don't delay it." The next day, Yang Xiuxiu arrived at Qu's house and first praised Liu Caihong, saying how capable, how well-behaved, how sensible Liu Caihong was, etc., and gave Liu Caihong's photo to Deputy Director Qu's lover and son Qu Xiaoqiang. After seeing the photo, Deputy Director Qu's lover said, "This little Liu still has a strong husband, I think we can meet again first." Qu Xiaoqiang is also a person who has seen the world and agrees to meet first. So he made an appointment to meet at a restaurant called Wang Family in Sanjiang Commune on Saturday, so Yang Xiuxiu went back to ask the Liu family to prepare for the meeting.
From Xiaoyang Brigade to Sanjiang Commune Happiness Brigade, there are more than 60 kilometers. You also need to take a bus from Xiaohe Commune to Sanjiang Commune for another 30 minutes. After Yang Xiuxiu discussed with the Liu family, Liu Caihong and his mother Chen Xuelian first went to Yang Xiuxiu’s house for one night. Liu Dahe said that he wanted to go too, but was quarreled by Chen Xuelian (meaning very much) and said, "A big man, what are you doing?" Let others laugh at us people in the mountains for not being able to deal with things? Liu Dahe felt that what Chen Xuelian said had some truth, so he responded, I was only worried that you would not be able to look at people (meaning that you would not see a person’s character clearly). Chen Xuelian responded, Xiuxiu and I were not young (a metaphor for just leaving society). We still know you men one or two. After lunch, Yang Xiuxiu and Liu Caihong and her daughter went out. On the way, the team asked Chen Xuelian, where are you, mother and daughter? Chen Xuelian responded that when she went to Sanjiang to visit relatives, because in the countryside, she usually visited relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, so some people suspected that they might have visited the household (introduction partner). The people in the team liked to discuss other people's affairs, especially other people's marriages, because there was no TV at that time, and the commune arranged a transfer to watch movies (one movie is played one by one). In some years, I couldn't find any topics after dinner.
Although the Liu family is not poor, Liu Caihong is still wearing blue cloth clothes that people like in the mountains, and her shoes are also made by herself. This is the habit of people in the mountains. Whether it is rubber shoes or cloth shoes, it is mainly comfortable to walk and climb mountains. Yang Xiuxiu was inconvenient to say more, and when she thought of her own home, she would dress up her niece well. The next day, after breakfast, Yang Xiuxiu began to dress up her niece, first changing the pair of braids that Liu Caihong liked to ponytails. Yang Xiuxiu said that a flowing braid is the temperament of a girl, which made the man fascinated. Then he took out his white background and red plaid shirt and asked her niece to put on, and then asked Liu Caihong to put on his red mid-heeled leather shoes. A mountain girl was dressed up by her and she changed into another person. Before leaving, she wiped it with red paper as lipstick. Indeed, even the mother who had been by her side for a long time thought her daughter was particularly beautiful today, so she said to Yang Xiuxiu, it seems that what the old man said was that people need clothes and Buddha need gold clothes, which is true.
