Chapter 108 Mother-in-law is shocked
Poxin Village.
After breakfast, Zhang's mother walked quickly towards her son-in-law's house with her son and daughter-in-law, under the envious eyes of Zhang's father.
When visiting the home of a married daughter, the mother usually leads the team, and the father does not go. If the grandmother is still alive, she can go as well.
Ever since the relatives who had sent her off to get married three days ago came back and told her how delicious the food was at the banquet that day, Zhang's mother had been looking forward to going to Lachao today. She also wanted to try the food that was praised so highly by her relatives to see if it was really that delicious.
There is also the house of her in-laws. Her family and many relatives have seen it, but she, as a mother, has not seen it. She also wants to see how beautiful the big blue brick and tile house that is praised by her relatives is.
Not only Zhang's mother was looking forward to it, but the four brothers of the Zhang family and Zhang's eldest and second wives were also looking forward to it.
What they were looking forward to were the three seafood dishes that would leave them with an unforgettable aftertaste.
After walking for more than three hours, they were not far from their sister's home. As the eldest brother, Zhang Shouguo said, "I don't know how Sister Ping has been doing these past three days, and whether she can adapt to life in the Deng family."
Mrs. Zhang glanced at him and said, "Pingmei eats well and lives well in the Deng family. What's there to be uncomfortable about?"
Mrs. Zhang also said, "Yes, big brother, you don't have to worry about this. Pingmei will definitely enjoy a good life if she marries into the Deng family."
Zhang Shoumin said, "You don't have to worry about food and accommodation. Everyone knows what kind of family the Deng family is. We are mainly worried that Pingmei will miss her family too much. After all, when we told her we were going back on the wedding day, she burst into tears."
Mother Zhang said, "Shedding tears is a very normal thing. Nine out of ten brides will shed tears when their relatives send them off. When your sister-in-law and your wife married into our family, they also shed tears after their relatives sent them off!"
Mrs. Zhang recalled the situation at that time and said with emotion: "When I left, I didn't feel much because I was accompanied by my relatives. It was not until the relatives who sent me off left that I realized that the home where I grew up was no longer my home. I couldn't hold back my tears anymore."
The family walked and talked, and soon arrived at the entrance of Naye Village.
Less than a hundred meters from the village entrance, you will arrive at the small river.
Looking to the right from the creek, you can see a row of magnificent blue brick and tiled houses lined up about forty or fifty meters ahead. Even though she had heard about it from her relatives countless times, Zhang's mother was still amazed when she saw it with her own eyes.
If there is only one such large blue brick and tile house, it would be nice but not shocking enough. However, if five or six such large blue brick and tile houses are connected in a row, the scale increases and the look is completely different.
Thinking that her daughter lived in such a house, Zhang's mother couldn't help but sigh that the girl was so lucky.
When the Zhang family arrived at the creek, Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping, who had been paying attention to the place, came to greet them immediately.
"Mom, big brother and big sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law, Xiaojun and Xiaoshan, you are here!"
"Xiuping, Yuntai!"
"Sister Ping, brother-in-law!"
"Sister, brother-in-law!"
When the two sides met and greeted each other, Zhang's mother and others saw Zhang Xiuping, who was radiant. They knew that she had been living very well in her husband's home for the past three days and had not felt uncomfortable at all. They were completely relieved.
Deng Shirong was originally busy in the kitchen. When he knew his mother-in-law had arrived, he came out to greet her and said, "Mother-in-law, please sit down and have a cup of tea first. I'll finish the last three seafood dishes, and then we can start eating!"
Zhang's mother said politely, "Father-in-law, thank you for your hard work!"
"What's so hard about this?"
Deng Shirong smiled and waved his hand, then looked at his eldest son and said, "Yuntai, this is your mother-in-law's first visit to our house, you should show her around."
After waiting for his eldest son to respond, Deng Shirong said hello again before going back into the kitchen to get busy.
Deng Shirong was well aware of the customs of that era, so he made preparations in advance for the wedding banquet three days ago. He put a portion of the dishes that took more time to make, such as meatballs, egg rolls, and sweet lotus roots, into the system space, and he also put some of the ingredients for the three seafood dishes into the space.
If he wasn't worried about having to explain, he would have packed in a portion of other dishes in advance.
Early this morning, Deng Shirong took out the ingredients for three seafood dishes as well as ready-made dishes such as meatballs, egg rolls, and sweet lotus root from the space. When his eldest daughter asked about it, he made up an excuse to get away with it.
While Deng Shirong was busy cooking, Deng Yuntai also took his mother-in-law to visit their house.
Even though Zhang's mother was mentally prepared, she was still shocked by her son-in-law's house when she actually stood inside the house to visit.
This is like the majestic Great Wall. Even if you have seen photos or videos of it on the Internet, you will still inevitably be shocked when you actually stand on the Great Wall.
When Zhang's mother was touring the house with her son-in-law, Zhang's eldest and second sisters-in-law also pulled their younger sister-in-law into the room to talk about some private topics.

At twelve o'clock noon, the Deng family started eating on time.
The food was exactly the same as that served on the wedding day. The four brothers and sisters-in-law of the Zhang family couldn't help but swallow their saliva after seeing it.
It’s no wonder they were so greedy, the food that day was really delicious, it was a taste they would never forget in their entire lives, and now they could eat it again, their expectations were already skyrocketing!
Even Zhang's mother, who had never tasted the food before, was filled with anticipation when she saw the table full of delicious food. After all, she had heard her son and daughter-in-law praise the food a lot in the past three days.
After sitting down, Deng Shirong just said a few polite words and then invited everyone to eat together.
Therefore, everyone's chopsticks went straight to the three seafood dishes, especially the steamed mudworms, which was the most popular.
After tasting the three seafood dishes one by one, Zhang's mother finally understood why her son and daughter-in-law had praised these dishes for three days. These dishes were truly the most delicious meals she had ever eaten in her life!
In addition to these three delicious seafood dishes, Zhang's mother also tasted the other dishes one by one. Each one was a delicacy. Compared with these dishes, she felt that the meals she cooked were simply pig food.
It's a complete waste of food.
No wonder, when her father-in-law stayed at her house for dinner, he only drank two bowls of chicken soup and ate very little of the dishes. At that time, she thought that her father-in-law was too polite and was embarrassed to eat too much, so he wanted to leave more food for their family!
But now, Zhang's mother had a strong intuition that the reason her father-in-law didn't eat more food at their house was not because he was polite, but because her cooking skills were too poor and the food she cooked was probably not to his liking, so he didn't eat much.
When she thought of this, Zhang's mother couldn't help but blush.
