Chapter 58 Bringing Your Partner Home
Early the next morning.
Tong Shuyao opened her eyes drowsily. When she found it was already bright outside, she was startled and quickly got up to look for clothes in the closet.
Last night her family gave her some money and cloth coupons and asked her to go to the county to buy cloth to make a skirt so that she could wear it on her wedding day.
Tong Shuyao didn't want to sleep too late as she finally had the chance to go to the county town.
After putting on her clothes and combing her hair, she walked out of the room with her long hair draped over her shoulders.
Outside the door, Tong Yuanhang's wife was making breakfast. When she heard the noise, she turned around and saw her sister-in-law.
The fair little face is slightly flushed and so tender that people can't help but want to pinch it.
I couldn't help but exclaim in my heart. It's no wonder that others fell in love with my sister-in-law at first sight and were willing to give her so much dowry.
"Shuyao, get up!"
"Well, sister-in-law, you cook, I'll help you."
"No, no, go wash your face quickly, and I'll take you to the county to buy cloth later."
The little girl was pushed out of the kitchen and smiled shyly: "Hey, then I'll go wash up."
"Go ahead!"
If the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is good, the family will be harmonious. Therefore, the three daughters-in-law of the Tong family get along well with this sister-in-law.
After breakfast, Tong Shuyao went to her room to braid her hair and turned into a little country girl again.
She followed Tong Yuanhang to the county dock, but before she reached the shore, she saw an unexpected figure.
"Why are you here?" After reaching the shore, she looked at the smiling man with a dazed expression.
"Of course I'm here to pick you up." Zhang Ze chuckled.
"Pick me up?" Tong Shuyao blinked and looked at her brother with question marks in her eyes.
Tong Yuanhang shrugged: "I was going to tell you last night, but your nephew was making a fuss again and I was trying to comfort him, so I forgot to tell you. You were going shopping anyway, so this is just right."
Tong Shuyao was a little helpless. What did she buy? Was it cloth for wedding dresses? It was embarrassing to be with her fiancé.
But now that things had come to this, she stepped onto the dock with confidence.
After saying goodbye to Tong Yuanhang, Zhang Ze and Tong Shuyao walked side by side on the road. This time the distance between them was closer than last time, which also showed that the two were slowly becoming closer.
Of course, they can do it all at once on the wedding night, but he feels that if they get to know each other and become closer before the wedding banquet, they will be able to get along more naturally after marriage.
"What are you going to buy?" Zhang Ze turned his head slightly and asked the girl's profile.
"I want to buy some cloth to make clothes." Tong Shuyao answered softly, but when it came to clothes, her heart beat faster under the man's gaze, and her fair face was slightly stained with a hint of red.
Zhang Ze understood and smiled slightly: "Is that so? Your brother will probably come to pick you up in the afternoon. It's still early now. Do you want to go to my house to get to know me?"
"Ah?" Tong Shuyao was shocked, and her little heart beat faster.
"You haven't met my sister and brother yet, so it would be good for you to get to know them first, and then I'll show you my skills at noon." Zhang Ze mainly felt that there was nothing fun in the county town now.
He has seen all the movies of this era and feels that there is nothing good about them.
There was no place to play, and because the two of them were walking quite close, two middle-aged women with red sleeves noticed them and kept following them, glaring at them, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
He has always been very polite to Tong Shuyao, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have some thoughts in his mind, especially since the two of them have already discussed the marriage. Maybe if the atmosphere is right, they can get closer.
Moreover, going home can allow her to get familiar with her younger brothers and sisters in advance, so that she won't be completely in the dark when she first gets married and has to be cautious in interacting with his family.
Tong Shuyao followed Zhang Ze's gaze and saw the two red-sleeved ladies in the distance. She immediately moved away, bit her lower lip and nodded: "Okay"
Zhang Ze was very happy to see that she agreed, so he took her to the station to prepare to take the bus home.
"Um, Aze, I want to buy some things. How about we go to the grocery store first?" It was her first time going to the man's house. Although she was not prepared and was in a hurry, she knew that she had to buy some things no matter what.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have enough money to buy cloth. You can just go home to get the money and come back to buy it tomorrow.
Zhang Ze understood her thoughts and agreed.
When he returned to the village, the idle old ladies in the village saw him bringing a beautiful girl home and were immediately shocked.
I originally thought that Zhang Ze’s partner was just an ordinary girl, perhaps the kind that had some defects and couldn’t get married.
Who knew she was so beautiful? If it weren't for her poor clothes, she would be no worse than that vixen Liu Qiaoqiao.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
A few middle-aged women who saw the people immediately went to chat with their old sisters with excitement and expressions as if they had just gotten something good.
This is big news they have first-hand: the poor boy from the Zhang family's girlfriend is no worse than Liu Qiaoqiao, who has charmed the young men in the village.
Who knows, maybe she is a vixen. Although the relationship between them and the Zhang family is strained, they are blood relatives after all, so they probably like her.
By the way, find out where this girl is from. Maybe the girls there are easy to deceive and ask someone to find one for their own boy.
Dislike vixen? But you have to marry her! Zhang Ze didn't care at all. After knowing that Tong Shuyao was a girl from the island, the enthusiasm of the village aunts would soon die down.
Regional discrimination is everywhere, even in just a village or an island.
Only some people whose family conditions are poor or who have difficulty finding a wife would go there to try their luck. What if they could trick one of them?
"Mom, look who's here!" Zhang Ze opened the door of his house and brought Tong Shuyao in.
Zhang Huihong looked up in surprise. She remembered that her son had gone out, so how could he come back so soon? But when she looked up, she saw Tong Shuyao standing beside him. She was immediately surprised and called out, "Shuyao is here? Come in, come in."
Tong Shuyao only had time to say hello before she was enthusiastically pulled into the house.
Hearing the noise, sisters Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing both came out of the room curiously, wanting to see their future sister-in-law.
Zhang Wu: "Brother, I heard from others that you brought your sister-in-law back?" Before the person appeared, the voice came from a distance.
Zhang Wu went out to play after breakfast. He was having a great time when an old lady saw him and teased him, telling him that his future sister-in-law was back and his life would be difficult from now on.
But Zhang Ze had already given him a heads-up, and he knew that his sister-in-law's personality was somewhat similar to that of his eldest sister, so he didn't care at all what others said and ran back in a hurry.
"You should call me sister. Now is not the time to call me sister-in-law!" Zhang Ze patted his head gently, reminded him, and then walked into the house with him.
Tong Shuyao in the room had relaxed a lot because of Zhang Huihong's enthusiasm. After getting acquainted with the Zhang Qian sisters, she felt relieved.
After just a brief contact, she knew that Zhang Ze had not lied to her. Her future sister-in-law was indeed a quiet girl, and her younger sister-in-law was a little lively, but she could feel the kindness of the family.
When she saw a noisy little boy coming in, she knew that the boy must be her future brother-in-law. She naturally heard the voice of sister-in-law from afar just now.
