Matchmaking in the Sixties

Su Xiaoyu was bound to a System for twenty years, but had never been able to use it. All she could do was stare at the System's dazzling stock of supplies, unable to redeem any of them, while gnawing on sweet potatoes. Then, on her wedding night, she suddenly heard the System announce: "A match with a compatibility rating of 95 has been detected. You may redeem two jin of pork and five jin of flour."

Su Xiaoyu bolted upright in bed, flipping the man who had just lain down beside her and was getting all worked up over what they were about to do right off the bed.

Wei Chen: ???

To enjoy a life of plenty in this era of scarce supplies, Su Xiaoyu began helping people find their matches.

But she was young and inexperienced at matchmaking, and she wasn't very good at reading people. Just as she was fretting over it, she discovered that her new husband, a blunt man who offended people as soon as he opened his mouth, had learned the art of physiognomy from her grandfather.

Matchmaking client A: "I already have three daughters. I want a wife with the look of someone who'll bear sons."

Wei Chen: "You're fated to have no sons, so looking for a wife with the look of someone who'll bear sons won't help. You could find ten of them and still..." (Mouth covered.)

Su Xiaoyu: "I think boys and girls are equally good. If you really want a son, I could introduce you to a woman who already has a boy. A stepson is still a son, right?"

Matchmaking client B: "I've been widowed for years and have only one son, but he still hasn't found a suitable partner."

Wei Chen: "You're naturally mean and care more about money than people. No wonder your son can't find a partner..." (Dragged away.)

Su Xiaoyu: "Well, I don't have a suitable match for your son right now, but I do have one for you. He's looking for an older widow and is willing to offer a bride price. Would you consider it?"

As Su Xiaoyu continued matchmaking, she not only landed a job at the neighborhood office and became a women's representative, she even became famous by accident. People came from far away to ask her to find them a match.

Everyone said Comrade Su was good at matchmaking and easy to get along with, but wherever she went, her taciturn husband with his fearsome look was always right behind her.

Wei Chen, who had been forbidden to speak: "..."
