Chapter 44 Tong Shuyao personally delivers the crab cage
Aunt Fang felt that she came here just for fun. Zhang Ze and Tong Yuanhang were very familiar with each other, so she didn't need to say much.
She just drank some tea and ate some snacks nearby, and at most praised people, looking very relaxed and comfortable.
They had a meal of meat at noon. The meat was not brought by Zhang Ze in the morning, but was bought by Tong Yuanhang who went to the county town early in the morning.
Even if Zhang Ze wasn't here for a blind date, he had to treat him well since he earned so much money.
After a morning of contact, the Tong family was quite satisfied with him.
The only thing that surprised them was that Zhang Ze’s family had cut off contact with their older relatives such as uncles and grandfathers.
After knowing the reason, the Tong family no longer had a very good impression of his relatives and elders. They refused to recognize their grandchildren after their son died. What kind of elders were they?
Have you ever thought about whether you will be able to face your son in the underworld after a hundred years? Well, now is a new society, and feudal superstition is not practiced.
Then, when it comes to tomb sweeping, will you have the nerve to go? After lunch, Aunt Fang and Zhang Ze were ready to leave.
However, before leaving, Tong Yuanhang privately asked him to come to the dock tomorrow morning. The crab cages and shrimp cages were already prepared and he would bring them over tomorrow.
The blind date went smoothly. Both parties agreed that the elders of both families would meet in two days, and Zhang Huihong would then come to the Tong family in person to discuss the marriage of the two children.
When Zhang Ze returned to the village, he was blocked by the family as soon as he entered the door.
"Aze, how was the blind date?" Zhang Huihong asked impatiently.
His two younger sisters and Zhang Wu beside him also looked at him with curiosity.
"It's going well. Come with me the day after tomorrow to discuss the marriage."
"Okay, okay." Zhang Huihong was very happy. Her eldest son's marriage had always been a concern for her.
She had always been worried that her son would not be able to find a wife due to his poor family background. She had even considered marrying off her daughter and getting a high bride price for her son to marry off. However, she was too concerned and could not make the decision.
Now my eldest son is about to get married. I will marry my two daughters off to good families in the future, and raise my youngest son and then get him married. Then I will have no regrets in this life.
When Zhang Huihong happily went to prepare dinner, Zhang Ze was suddenly surrounded by his younger brothers and sisters.
"Brother, when will my sister-in-law marry me?"
"Brother, is it easy to get along with my sister-in-law? I don't want to be like other families, where the relationship between sister-in-law and aunt is so bad."
"Brother, will I still be able to eat delicious food after my sister-in-law comes?"
"What are you thinking about!" Zhang Ze pointed at Zhang Qing and Zhang Wu's heads, "Will your brother marry a fierce woman?"
"Your future sister-in-law is only one year older than Qian, and she is quiet and gentle. She will definitely get along well with you guys."
He was quite good at judging people. From the first time they met, he could roughly tell what kind of person Tong Shuyao was. She was a girl who appeared quiet on the surface but was actually quite lively in private.
Secondly, it was more comfortable to interact with Tong Yuanhang. Although he was a fisherman on the island, he understood the basic ways of the world and knew when to advance and retreat.
The personalities and temperaments of family members are definitely different, but the family education can be seen from the way they behave.
Zhang Ze also saw through this point, which is why he asked Aunt Fang to be a matchmaker, otherwise what he said at the beginning would have been a joke.
After hearing what he said, Zhang Wu chuckled and became even more curious about his future sister-in-law.
Zhang Qing stuck out her tongue and felt a lot more relieved.
There will be one more person in the family in the future, and they are actually quite nervous.
Therefore, they also hope that their sister-in-law is gentle and virtuous. Otherwise, if she is too powerful, the family will be in chaos and unbearable every day.
The next day, Zhang Ze went to the county town to get shrimp cages and crab cages as agreed. He also wanted to see how many good things he could catch by putting these two things down.
But when they arrived at the dock, they didn't see Tong Yuanhang but saw a pretty figure, who turned out to be Tong Shuyao.
Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment, then walked forward naturally: "Shuyao, why are you here? Where is your brother?"
"My brother was busy most of the night and didn't get up in the morning, so he asked me to bring the cages over." Tong Shuyao lowered her head slightly, holding the newly made ground traps and shrimp cages in her hands. Her body was a little tense, as if she was very nervous after seeing him?
Tong Yuanhang did go fishing last night. He was a little reluctant to get up in the morning, so he simply asked his sister to come over.
He felt that the two families would definitely become relatives, so it would be okay to ask his sister to send gifts.
Zhang Ze looked at the situation at the dock and saw that there were quite a lot of people, so he took the things in her hand and put them into the bamboo basket he brought with him, and said, "Let's go to the side and order."
As he said this, he walked towards a less crowded place nearby, and Tong Shuyao followed behind him like a little wife.
After arriving at a less crowded place, Zhang Ze turned around and took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to him: "Here's the money for the crab and shrimp cages, keep it."
"Oh, this is too much, I can't accept it!" Tong Shuyao waved her hands repeatedly. The original price was five dollars. Tong Yuanhang felt embarrassed and asked her to change the small crab cage to a long cage.
But Zhang Ze directly gave her ten yuan. How could she dare to take so much money?
"You made such a nice cage, ten bucks isn't a lot."

"It won't cost that much."
Seeing that Tong Shuyao was determined not to accept it, Zhang Ze did not force her. In the end, he gave her the agreed five yuan. Only then did she accept it and put it away carefully.
"Did you eat breakfast?"
"have eaten."
"Come alone or"
"I came here with my uncle."
"Then why don't you tell your uncle to come pick you up this afternoon, and we can go shopping in the county today and have lunch together at noon?"
It was a rare opportunity to meet Tong Shuyao today, and Zhang Ze felt that it was necessary for the two of them to spend some time together, which would allow both sides to become more familiar with each other.
Now, people are too polite when they interact with each other, and there is a sense of distance.
"No, no, I'm going back with my uncle soon." When Tong Shuyao heard that Zhang Ze wanted to be alone with her, her face turned red, and she felt nervous and shy.
Nowadays, men and women are very reserved in their interactions with each other. Apart from her relatives, she has never had close contact with any strange man since she was a child. She felt very embarrassed just hearing that she wanted to be alone with him.
"You are still relatively unfamiliar with me, so I think it's better for us to get to know each other. At least you can know what kind of person I am, right!"
Today was a rare day when he had nothing to do, and he met Tong Shuyao alone again. Zhang Ze also wanted to try the feeling of dating a girl.
To be honest, he wants to try all the regrets from his previous life and the things he has not tried if he has the conditions in this life.
Tong Shuyao’s appearance is not the kind that will astound you at first sight, but her skin is not dark at all and becomes prettier the more you look at her. She is the type that is pleasing to the eye and has a spirited air.
Most girls from fishermen's families have to work under the sun and have dark skin, but she is an exception.
He also saw Tong Shuyao's sister yesterday. Her skin color is not black but it is not white either.
It is probably because the youngest daughter has three boys in her family, so she is spoiled more, which is why she has become a pretty and lovely daughter.
After hearing what Zhang Ze said, Tong Shuyao became a little hesitant.
After yesterday's blind date, I knew that the person I would most likely marry would be the one in front of me, so I became more and more curious about him and naturally wanted to know his personality, temper, and what kind of person he was.
Seeing her hesitation, Zhang Ze made a decision for her on the spot: "Let's go, who is your third uncle? I'll go tell him."
