Chapter 78 Just be happy!

at the same time.

In Poxin Village, Zhang Xiuping's family was also discussing the final candidate for the visit to the Deng family the day after tomorrow.

As early as last month, after Deng Shirong came over to say hello and set a date for the house-viewing, the Zhang family had some discussion and preliminarily determined the candidates for the house-viewing. They were the fourth aunt, the seventh aunt, the third aunt, the younger aunt, the younger aunt, the eldest cousin (from the eldest aunt's family), Zhang's eldest sister-in-law, Zhang's second sister-in-law, and Zhang Xiuping's two younger sisters Ou Guofang and Ou Guohua.

The Zhang family also carefully considered these candidates.

Nowadays, when a woman goes to the man's house to look after the family, every person who goes with her will take back a red envelope and five flavors. Therefore, when the woman goes to look after the family, she has to tell the man in advance how many people she will be going with so that he can make relevant preparations.

The Zhang family initially decided on one relative from each of Zhang's father and mother to be the doorkeepers, which made six people in total. If we count Zhang Xiuping's eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and two younger sisters, there would be exactly ten people in total.

According to the customs of Shuangwang territory, the bride's parents will not come to the house, whether it is to guard the house or to hold a wedding banquet.

Ten people accompanied the heroine to visit the house. This number is not too many, but not too few either, and is considered to be average.

Mother Zhang said, "Tomorrow, Uncle Jiu should come to make the final announcement. Do you think there are any additional candidates for the family?"

Zhang Xiuping thought for a moment and said, "Mom, we have invited all the close relatives at home. If we invite other relatives and friends, there will be too many candidates. But I think since we are all eleven women, why don't we bring Xiaojun and Xiaoshan?"

When Zhang Shoujun heard his sister say this, his eyes lit up and he looked at his parents and said, "Dad, Mom, my sister is right. Although most of the people who guard the house are women, we can't have no men at all. I think Xiaoshan and I are suitable to go."

Zhang Shoushan nodded quickly after hearing this and said, "Dad, Mom, I want to go too."

Father Zhang sat next to them, puffing on a water pipe. As a grown man, he never got involved in such matters and just let his wife do it.

Mother Zhang pondered for a moment and said, "Originally, it is normal for brothers and sisters to go with you to the man's house to look after the house, but they were afraid that if there were too many people, people around would gossip, so they didn't include you two. However, what your sister said makes sense. It's not good to go without a man, so let's count you two!"

When brothers Zhang Shoujun and Zhang Shoushan heard this, their faces were filled with excitement.

Both brothers knew that their future brother-in-law's family was very well off and that their house was very grand. On the one hand, they wanted to go over to broaden their horizons, but on the other hand, they also didn't want to miss out on the red envelopes they would get from looking after the house.

Considering the family background of my future brother-in-law, the amount of this red envelope should be at least two or three dollars, and it would not be surprising if he gave as much as five dollars. For them with empty pockets, that is a "huge" fortune, and it is certainly worth their happiness.

Seeing that her mother-in-law had chosen the candidate, Mrs. Zhang said, "Mom, should we notify my third aunt, my second aunt, and my first cousin tomorrow?"

Zhang's mother nodded and said, "We will notify them, but we have to wait for Uncle Jiu to come and make the final confirmation before notifying them."

Mrs. Zhang said, "It's a long way from here to Naye Village. It takes three or four hours to walk. When we go to inform my third aunt, my second aunt, and my first cousin tomorrow, let them stay with us for one night. We can set out together after breakfast in the morning. This will save a lot of time."

Zhang's mother said, "That's how it should be."

…

October 15th.

After breakfast, Deng Shirong rode his bicycle towards Poxin Village.

After riding a bicycle for more than an hour, Deng Shirong arrived at Longtan Street. After buying a large bag of candies at the supply and marketing cooperative, he went to Zhang's house in Poxin Village as if he knew the place well.

Last time, Deng Shirong brought a few pounds of pork butt and braised pork, which caused quite a stir in Poxin Village. However, a scarce item like meat cannot be sent like this all the time, as that would spoil the other party's appetite. Only sending it occasionally can achieve the best effect.

Of course, you can't go to the door empty-handed, as that would be too rude, so it would be appropriate to bring a big bag of candies and cookies.

More than ten minutes later, Deng Shirong arrived at Zhang's house.

"Uncle Nine!"

"Uncle Jiu, light some cigarettes!"

"Uncle Jiu, have a drink of water first!"

"Uncle Nine..."

The Zhang family welcomed Deng Shirong very warmly. Some held the chimney and some brought water. Their attitude was no less than that of welcoming a new son-in-law.

After some polite exchanges, Deng Shirong said, "Dear relatives, I came here today mainly to make a final confirmation with you. Come to my house tomorrow to check on the door."

Mother Zhang said politely, "Uncle Jiu, you are so polite. You could have just asked someone to bring a message. You took the trouble to travel such a long way to come here to inform me."

"It's not hard. I rode here and it only took me an hour. How many of you will come to watch over the house tomorrow? Are you sure?"

"It's confirmed. Including my sister Ping, there are thirteen of us in total."

"Okay, I got it!"

After finishing the business, although the Zhang family tried to keep him, Deng Shirong still said goodbye and left immediately.

It’s not that his schedule is really that tight, but mainly because he doesn’t want to cause trouble for others. If he stays for dinner, the Zhang family will definitely have to prepare a table of decent dishes to entertain him, which is really too much trouble.

Of course, the most important point is that he has no expectations for the cooking skills of this future in-law...

More than an hour later, Deng Shirong returned to Shuangwangwei.

It was the peak time of the market. Deng Shirong ate a bowl of noodles at a noodle stall, then bought some ingredients he would need to look after the house the next day. After looking around for his eldest son Deng Yuntai and not seeing him, he rode his bike back.

…

Tile factory.

Deng Yuntai went to Shuangwang early to get a haircut and then hurried back to continue working.

Making a big vat is different from other things, this thing is connected upwards section by section. Before the big vat is completed, you can't just take a break whenever you want, unless you don't mind the previous work being wasted, then it doesn't matter.

Although Deng Yuntai already knew that the girl would come to visit tomorrow, the weather delayed the batch of tanks he was making for two days. Today he still had to finish some final work before he could really relax.

While Deng Yuntai was busy finishing up, his childhood friend Deng Changyuan was studying and chatting with him beside him. The topic of the conversation was naturally about guarding the house tomorrow.

Deng Changyuan asked, "Atai, the girl will come to visit tomorrow. To be honest, are you nervous now?"

Deng Yuntai rolled his eyes at his childhood friend and said, "Nonsense, I haven't even seen anyone yet, and I'm directly checking the door. Do you think I'm nervous?"

Deng Changyuan smiled and said, "Others would first get to know the person before looking at the house, but since it's your dad who's matchmaking for you, he skipped the acquaintance step. But I heard from your two sisters that your partner is very beautiful, so you should be happy!"

After Deng Yuntai finished finishing the big vat in his hand, he looked at his childhood friend and said, "A Yuan, I heard from my sister a while ago that my boyfriend also has two sisters. I don't know if her two sisters will come with us tomorrow. If they do, you'd better keep an eye out. If you like them, let my dad help you match them up. Maybe your marriage will be solved!"

Deng Changyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Hey, what you said makes sense. I'll have to take a closer look tomorrow!"
