    There is a popular saying among the people, "There are three types of unfilial piety, the worst is not having children."  This means that there are many ways to be unfilial, among which failure to carry on the family line is the most unfilial.  This shows how important the inheritance of the family line occupies in the hearts of the Chinese people.  Having said that, there is a prerequisite for continuing the family line, which is to get a wife.  From the "three turns and one ring" in the early 1950s to today's "car and house", the cost of finding a wife is increasing day by day, and even many middle class people are almost unable to overcome this hurdle.  In some remote rural areas, the feudal idea of ??inheriting the family line is still the mainstream, and the phenomenon of favoring sons over daughters is also common.  It is common for families to have three or four children in succession just to have a boy. This has led to many places where the poorer they get, the more children they have, and the more children they have, the poorer they become. This is a vicious cycle, with no hope of finding a wife.

    From a genetic perspective, if you want to have a boy, you need the father's y chromosome to combine with the mother's x chromosome. The y chromosome is relatively short and is easily affected by the external environment. Smoking, drinking, and doing heavy work will all cause damage.  Inheritance of the y chromosome causes the disorder.

    In rural areas, most men engage in heavy physical labor, which will speed up metabolism and produce a large amount of lactic acid, thus changing the acid-base balance in the body. If men choose to have sex in this exhausted state, the probability of having a daughter will be greatly increased.  Having several daughters in succession in order to have a son is not news in rural areas.  After a son was born, someone inherited the ancestral incense, but another problem loomed before us: How would he get his son’s wife after a few years?  In other words, what should I ask for?

    In poor and backward areas, this is not a problem that one or two families have to face, but a practical difficulty that one village or even several villages have to solve.  But no matter how difficult it is, you can't expect the government to help you solve the problem of finding a wife.  As the saying goes, "There must be a road before a car reaches the mountain, and it will be straight when a boat reaches the bridge." "Three cobblers are as strong as Zhuge Liang." There are always strange people who can come up with strange tricks.  The so-called "having children", many families have achieved their goal of "having children", but the cost of "raising children" makes them miserable. If they can barely survive with "one son and one daughter", if they have "one daughter"  "Having many children" has really made things worse for many poor families.  In order to relieve the pressure from many parties and achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone, the "child matchmaker" industry came into being.

    The so-called "child matchmaker" can be understood literally. What they do is to matchmatch "children".  For example, Zhang San gave birth to a son, and Li Si gave birth to a daughter. Zhang San’s parents knew that they might not have the financial ability to find a wife for their son in the future. Li Si wanted to have a son, but was afraid that there would be too many children to support, so the two families  After being matched by a "child matchmaker", Zhang San paid some betrothal gifts to take the daughter of the Li family home and raise her. When the daughter of the Li family grew up, she would be the daughter-in-law of the son of the Zhang San family.  In this way, Li Si's burden was relieved and his dream of having a son came true.

    This approach, in a sense, does superficially alleviate the dilemma of many poor families unable to find a daughter-in-law.  And because many rural people have low cultural level and short knowledge, there are many people who are "ignorant and fearless". Some people even have the foolish idea that "if you don't start early, all your good wives will be taken away".

    Especially in the 1970s and 1980s, "child brides" were almost common in backward rural areas, and Wang Yuyan's tragic life began at that time.

    In 1977, Wang Yuyan was born in an extremely poor family. In order to continue his family career, her father had to use "child matchmakers" to "marry" off one daughter after another in order to exchange for the nutritional expenses of having a son.

    Wang Yuyan was just one month old when she was picked up by a "child matchmaker". She was the third child born to her mother. According to the rules of the "child matchmaker", the girl introduced by the "child matchmaker" must retain her father's surname, and her name will be "given by the family she is getting married to."  ".

    The reason why we do this is also quite "elaborate":

    The purpose of keeping a surname is to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan in the future.  It is said that "a married daughter is a spoiler", but marrying a daughter does not mean selling her daughter. You must be worthy of your ancestors no matter what. Although everyone knows it, this is obvious.  "Archive", but both "Li'er" and "Mian'er" must be justified.

    Giving a name allows the "new daughter" to better integrate into the family.  Many people have a habit of calling the girl by her first name instead of her surname. If a girl just comes in with a given name, there will be some barriers.

    On the morning when Wang Yuyan came to the house, there were dark clouds in the sky, lightning and thunder. Her adoptive father Li Xuguang originally wanted to consummate the marriage on a sunny day, but how could he change the auspicious time chosen by the "child matchmaker"?  So everyone carried Wang Yuyan through the door in the pouring rain.  Li Xuguang and his wife had little education. After giving the "child matchmaker" a 10-yuan red envelope, the "child matchmaker" personally chose the three characters "Wang Yuyan" as the name of their new daughter.  Among them, "Wang" is his father's surname, and "Yu"It is the appropriate weather when passing through the door, and "Yan" represents happiness.  The combination of these three words means that the daughter of the Wang family comes to the new home on a rainy day and brings blessing and joy to the new home.  It has to be said that the clever words of the "child matchmaker" really won everyone's favor. In her description, a deal that was originally dirty turned out to be like "a roar of gongs and drums, and a chorus of firecrackers."

    In fact, for Li Xuguang, it should not have come to this point. After all, in rural areas, only families that are not well-off would think of finding a child bride for their son, but who can blame him?  In a word, it is "you will not survive if you do it yourself".  Li Xuguang was originally a well-known butcher from all over the country. Over the years, he had developed the skill of "cooking cattle and cutting cattle".  It is said that "people with high skills are bold", but when it comes to Li Xuguang, people with "high skills" are not only bold but also very arrogant.

    As a butcher, drinking alcohol after killing an animal is an essential step. According to the rules of the butcher profession, you cannot kill any more animals on the same day after killing the animal. Li Xuguang has always adhered to this bottom line.  But one time, a family in the village held a banquet. The original plan was to kill a pig and let the villagers eat the meat. But what they didn't expect was that this family wanted to "take money from the wedding." Not only the village, but also neighboring villages  They all received wedding invitations from this family. When the head of the household came home, he found that one pig was not enough. In order to prevent the villagers from gossiping, the head of the household gritted his teeth and asked Li Xuguang to help kill another pig.  Li Xuguang, who was already very drunk at the time, could have refused, but he had a soft ear and could not hear other people's flattery, so he "without hesitation" threw aside the rules and "sharpened his knife to the pigs and sheep" again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
