Zhai Ying left, so Chen Jing and Li Ting followed him. They were just giving Ye Lin a place to talk to this brother.

"Sit down."

"Okay boss."

After the brother sat down, Ye Lin poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Tell me! What's the matter with me?"

"Boss, it's not me who's looking for you, it's Tan Fei who's looking for you for something."

"Tan Fei? Why didn't he come to me by himself? What's the matter with asking you to come?" Ye Lin frowned.

"Boss, that's right. Tan Fei's family introduced him to a partner. He was going on a blind date today, so he wanted the boss to help him with some reference."

"Puff!" Hearing the brother's words, Ye Lin sprayed out a sip of tea that had just been drunk in his mouth.

Fortunately, he turned his head aside before squirting it out, otherwise he would have sprayed it directly on the brother.

"He went on a blind date, let me refer to it!" Ye Lin said with a wry smile.

"Boss, I don't know about this. He asked me to come to you and I'll come over."

Hearing this brother say this, Ye Lin thought for a while and said, "Okay! Then I'll go over and take a look."

"Yeah! Boss, let's go."

"Wait." Ye Lin called the brother, then looked at him and asked, "Tan Fei has gone on a blind date, when will you go on a blind date?"

"Me!" the brother scratched his head and said, "Boss, I'm not in a hurry, wait before talking about it!"

"I'm still waiting! Do you want to be single and always enjoy being single?"

"Uh! Boss, what does it mean?"

"It's not interesting, it means you don't look for a partner."

Hearing Ye Lin say this, the brother smiled bitterly again and said, "Boss, it's not that I don't look for it, but that I can't find it."

"Why can't you find it? As long as you want to find it, there is no such thing as this."

Ye Lin is right, it depends on whether you want to find it or not. If you want to find it, you can still find it, but the requirements are not that high.

In this world, it is difficult to find a three-legged toad, and people with two legs still grab a lot, especially in this era where family planning is not planned.

Because there is no family planning, it doesn’t matter whether it’s boys or girls. As long as you have it, you have to. Why do more men and fewer women in the future generations? It’s because of family planning.

Many people go to the hospital for examination when they are a few months pregnant, and if they are a boy, they will get a slaughter if they are a girl.

There is no way, because family planning can only require one, and everyone wants one who can pass on the family line. In the eyes of some old ideas and feudalism, it is obvious that girls cannot pass on the family line.

However, Ye Lin also understood why this brother was hard to find. To put it bluntly, he was still too old.

Ye Lin’s brothers are the youngest, and the oldest is one or two years older than him.

In other words, the youngest is twenty-nine years old and the oldest is thirty-one, and this brother is the biggest, and he is thirty-one this year.

If he was of his age in later generations, it might be normal not to get married, but in this era, it can be said that he did not have one.

Of course, it is not to say that there is no at all. For example, when this wave of educated youth returned to the city, there are still many older men and women who have not gotten married.

But it is also because of this that it is even harder to find. It is said that men and women go to the countryside. In fact, men go more and women go less. This ratio is likely to be three to one.

Even if they all return to the city, the proportion will be even greater. It can be said that older single men are more than older single women.

"Okay, let's go, see what Tan Fei asked me for." Ye Lin patted the brother on the shoulder.

To be honest, it is difficult to find, but Ye Lin is not worried about his brothers. In a few years, money will become the first priority.

At that time, all of his brothers will become diamond fives, and it is not easy to find a wife.

It is difficult to find a person of a certain age, but can the younger ones not have one?

This is not to say that Ye Lin hopes this way, but the times are like this, and he has no choice.

"Um!"

This brother came here on a tricycle, so Ye Lin didn't need to ride a bike, so he got on his tricycle and went there.

Tan Fei's family also lives in Xijiaomin Lane, but they were not in the same slums as Ye Lin before, but a distance.

"Boss, you're here." As soon as the two of them arrived at the gate of the slum where Tan Fei lived, Tan Fei came up to meet them.

"I said you kid, just a kiss. As for letting me come here?" Ye Lin got off the tricycle and looked at Tan Fei and asked.

"Boss, I...I can't do anything! I..."

"Okay, I'm talking nonsense, where are you going to go on a blind date?"

"Go to the woman's house."

"Then let's go!"

"Wait, my parents are still preparing things."

"Uh! OK!"

The betrothal gifts in the 1970s and 1960s changed a lot. In the 1960s, the betrothal gifts were four yuan and the betrothal gifts were two kilograms of candy.

The betrothal gifts in the 1970s were thirty-six legs and three turns and one sound, three turns, commonly known as the old three pieces, namely bicycles, watches and sewing machines.

This is not only a daily necessity for the newlyweds to start their new life after marriage, but also a reflection of the family's living standards. Therefore, it is only decent for these three weddings.

These three old items are summarized as three turns. In some places, the woman asked to add a sound, and this sound of course refers to the radio.

Many families cannot afford these things, so many people borrow these for marriage before getting married.

Three turns and one sound have become the now recognized essentials for marriage, so in the 1970s, the material conditions for marriage to form a family were manifested as thirty-six legs and three turns and one sound.

A family with thirty-six legs does not mean that there are eighteen people, nor does it mean that there are so many chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep in the family.

Instead, women require that the future new home must have enough furniture.

As for the specific varieties, it seems different from each place. Some places also include tripods standing in the corner of the wall, and have never figured out what another piece of furniture with an odd number of legs is.

According to the living conditions at that time, I was very happy to prepare the "three old items" when I got married. Families with better conditions would buy diamond watches, Phoenix bicycles and Wuyang sewing machines. This is the brand product of this era.

Anyone who rides a Phoenix bicycle at this time is like driving a Mercedes-Benz and BMW in later generations, which will always make people envious.

This is just a betrothal gift, and there is also a betrothal gift.

When engaged, there is still a 100 yuan engagement betrothal fee. The matchmaker then sets the date of marriage, and the marriage betrothal fee is also 100 yuan.

Judging from the betting fee alone, it is fifty times higher than in the 1960s, because the betting fee was four yuan from beginning to end in the 1960s.

Now, not only does it cost to get engaged, but it also costs to get married, but that's two hundred yuan! It's impossible for ordinary families to take it out.

The amount of dowry in my parents' home does not entirely depend on the amount of betrothal gifts of the man.

According to the current "trade price", the man's betrothal gift is 100 yuan in cash, plus dozens of kilograms of quilts, more than ten feet of cloth tickets, or several jars of old wine.

But the dowry given by my mother's family must include at least a set of round pieces (wooden foot basins, toilets, etc.), beds, eight immortal tables, chairs, stools, basin racks, lilac cabinets, flat cabinets and boxes, and more than six new quilts, as well as some porcelain, tin utensils, new clothes, etc.

In order to be more beautiful on the scene, the woman's parents will try every means to earn face for their married daughter, so they made a joke saying: " Raise a daughter and raise a robber."

"Wait, prepare something? Are you going to date or get engaged?"

Although Ye Lin was not very clear about these things, he also knew that if it was just a blind date, there seemed to be no need to prepare anything.

Only after the blind date is successful will you prepare something to get engaged and then choose a date to get married.

"Blind date! But the boss, although it's a blind date, it's not good to go empty-handed!"

"Uh!" Ye Lin nodded and said, "That's true, isn't it true that people are too polite!"

"Yes, boss, and I'm so old, it's not easy to find a wife."

"Okay! But what did you ask me to do? It won't be..."

"Yes... have this plan, but it may not be used, so boss, you..."

"Get out, I'll tell you Tan Fei, don't even think about it. You'd better find someone else to do this."

Ye Lin now figured it out. It turned out that Tan Fei asked him to come over to help him go on a blind date.

Although blind dates for others are very common in this era, Ye Lin absolutely did not do it, and he still went on blind dates for his brothers.

If you get married in the future, Tan Fei’s wife will not hate him for the rest of her life! So Ye Lin would never do such a thing.

"Boss, this is just in case, maybe it's not useful at all."

"That's not OK. I'll tell you Tan Fei, you'd better not make these stupid things. You can do it yourself, and you can't make it. But you must not make these crooked and oblique things."

"Uh! Boss..."

"I'm right, have you ever thought about it? If someone looks down on you, you find someone to go on a blind date for you, and finally the blind date is successful. What about after getting married?"

Hearing Ye Lin say this, Tan Fei thought for a while and said, "Yes! They don't like me at all. Even if they cheated them on a blind date, they still don't like me after getting married."

"So! Don't find someone to take care of you, but you should take a look at you yourself. As long as someone likes you, everything is easy to say."

Ye Lin thought very simply that he should never do it when looking for someone to go on a blind date. Since they don’t like you, it will be the same even if they get married.

Although it is not necessary to divorce, it is because this era is very sensitive to the power, but not divorce does not mean that people will live with you well.

Even if you continue to live, you will make her unreasonable or do all kinds of things because of you lied to her. You can imagine what the future life will be like.

"I understand Boss, but Boss, you still have to go with me."

"Uh! What else am I going to do?"

"Of course I'm going to check it out for me! It was my first time on a blind date and I felt a little nervous. Boss, you are next to me, so I'm not that nervous."
