Chapter 50 As long as she hasn't mentioned her in-laws, you're a safe daughter-in-law!
When Deng Shirong and his daughter returned home, it was already past one in the afternoon.
This time when I went to Longtan Market, I used up all the cloth coupons I had saved over the years. I bought back dozens of feet of cloth, enough to make a new set of clothes for everyone in my family.
After returning home, Deng Shirong immediately took out his hookah to light a cigarette, and Deng Yunzhu saw the bicycle parked at the door and asked, "Dad, do you still want to use the bicycle?"
Deng Shirong stuffed tobacco into his pipe and replied, "No, you can ride if you want, but be careful."
It has been almost two months since I bought the bicycle. Except for the eldest son who already knew how to ride a bicycle and the younger Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng, all the other children in the family have learned to ride a bicycle.
"Got it!" Deng Yunzhu responded, and then rode her bicycle towards the tile factory in a cross-body riding posture.
The so-called cross-body riding means inserting your feet through the triangular hole under the front horizontal bar, and then riding the bike in a slightly awkward posture. This riding method is mainly aimed at people who are not tall enough. After all, the 28-inch bicycle is not the small and exquisite ladies' bicycle in later generations. It is really difficult to ride a bike in a normal posture if you are not tall enough.
The tile factory was not far from home, and Deng Yunzhu rode her bicycle to the factory in about three minutes.
Ever since her father and brother Yungui contracted out the tile factory and her eldest brother went to work at the factory, Deng Yunzhu has come to the factory often to play. After all, there was not much entertainment in those days, and it was quite interesting to come and play in the mud when she had nothing to do.
Because she comes here often, most of the workers in the tile factory know her, so they will say hello to her when they see her.
Soon, Deng Yunzhu ran to the house where her eldest brother worked, and before she even walked in, she shouted, "Brother, I have a big secret to tell you, do you want to know?"
Deng Yuntai did not stop what he was doing, and said without raising his head: "I don't want to know."
Deng Yunzhu couldn't help but choke. Obviously, she didn't expect her eldest brother to play by his own rules. She couldn't help but emphasize, "Brother, this big secret is related to you. Are you sure you don't want to know?"
Deng Yuntai raised his head and glanced at her: "I don't want to know."
Deng Yunzhu got a little mad when she heard this, and said angrily: "Brother, this is related to your lifelong event, don't you really want to know?"
Deng Yuntai was just teasing her, but she dropped a bombshell. He couldn't help but stop what he was doing, looked at her and said, "Ah Zhu, don't talk nonsense in front of me, or I'll punish you. I don't even know my lifelong affairs, how do you know?"
Deng Yunzhu smiled proudly and said, "Hehe, no matter how I know it, I just know it."
Deng Yuntai raised a finger and said, "I'll give you ten cents. Stop talking nonsense and tell me now!"
"Brother, you are so open-minded. Deal."
Deng Yunzhu first praised her, and then said, "This is what happened. Today, my father, sister and I went to Longtan Market. When we were eating noodles at a noodle stall, we met a very beautiful sister. My father fell in love with her at first sight and thought she was very suitable to be my sister-in-law, so he asked my sister to meet her..."
Deng Yuntai was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that his father and sister would find a girl for him after going to Longtan. From the way his younger sister praised her, maybe this girl they met by chance was really good-looking?
"Azhu, what did Dad say?"
Deng Yunzhu answered every question and said, "Dad's idea is to take some time out in the next two days to go to Poxin Village and find out for you what kind of reputation this Sister Xiuping has in the village. The most important thing is to ask others whether she has found a husband."
Now that the matter was clear, Deng Yuntai clapped his hands, then took out a dime from his pocket and handed it to the little sister, saying, "Here, this is for you. Go back quickly, I have to continue working!"
Deng Yunzhu put the money into her pocket contentedly and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go back first. I hope you can marry a beautiful girl. After all, Sister Xiuping is really beautiful. If she becomes my sister-in-law, I will be very proud."
Deng Yuntai laughed and drove his little sister away, then continued to make his big vat.
But what was different from before was that his heart was stirred by his little sister's words.
…
night.
After dinner, while sitting at the door, Deng Yuntai couldn't help but ask, "Dad, I heard from my younger sister that when you went to Longtan Market today, you met a very beautiful girl?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "There is nothing to be said about the fate of the couple yet. I was planning to find out more about it before telling you. But since Ah Zhu has already told you, it would be better for you to be mentally prepared in advance. The girl is really beautiful. If she hasn't mentioned her in-laws yet, I plan to personally help you find a partner."
Deng Yuntai felt itchy after hearing this. Normal men (except men like Cao Zei) most of the time like young and pretty girls. Now that his younger sister praised her for being pretty and his father also praised her for being pretty, the girl must be pretty. It would be impossible for him to say that he didn't have some expectations in his heart.

"Dad, I'm plain-looking. If she were really that pretty, she probably wouldn't like me!"
Deng Shirong said confidently: "From ancient times to the present, marriage is not based on appearance. As long as she hasn't mentioned her in-laws, then you are a safe daughter-in-law!"
Deng Shirong was not just saying this. If the other party's family was well-off, then whether his eldest son could marry her would depend on fate. But according to his observation today, the other party's family was obviously not well-off, so he had enough confidence to marry this girl as his eldest son's daughter-in-law!
After all, in the Bobai area, whether now or in the future, there is an idea of favoring boys over girls. Although his eldest son is not handsome, given his family background, I believe that no rural family can refuse to become his relative.
Hearing his father's confident words, Deng Yuntai also regained his confidence. After all, he was a master maker of large jars and tiles with a monthly income of over 200 yuan. In the countryside of that era, there were very few people who could match him. In addition, his father was one of the owners of a jar and tile factory, and his family was building the first large blue brick and tile house in the village.
With such good conditions, let alone his plain appearance, even if he was missing limbs, he would be worthy of any girl in the area.
Thinking of this, Deng Yuntai couldn't help but chuckle, "Dad, you're right. Appearance is not the basis of marriage. With our family's current conditions, there is no girl we can't marry. Then I'll wait for your good news!"
Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Well, tomorrow I will arrange for Changwang to go to Shuangwang Market to meet her. The day after tomorrow I will take some time to go to Poxin Village. Whether you can marry this beautiful girl back home as your wife depends on whether you have the luck to do so!"
