Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Deng Changyuan returned home from the cylinder tile factory. After dinner, he came to Jiugong's house to wait for news.

Today Jiugong went to Poxin Village to talk to him about matchmaking. Although he and Ou Guohua had already established a basis for further contact through Zhang Xiuping's matchmaking, he could not predict what her parents thought about this matter.

It was a matter of his own life, so of course Deng Changyuan had to stay at Jiu Gong's house so that he could know the situation as soon as possible.

While waiting, Deng Changyuan couldn't help but ask: "Aunt A Ping, you know the situation of A Hua's family better. Do you think her parents will object to this?"

Originally, according to the normal address, Deng Changyuan should call Zhang Xiuping Aunt Atai.

In the realm of Shuangwang, when addressing an elder, one must either name the elder's family rank in front, or use one character in the elder's name plus seniority. For example, if Deng Changyuan calls Deng Yuntai, he should call him uncle (Deng Yuntai's rank) or Atai. Uncle, correspondingly, Zhang Xiuping should be called aunt or Aunt Atai.

However, because Deng Changyuan and Deng Yuntai have been good friends since childhood, they have always called Deng Yuntai Artai, and they could not change their name when they grew up.

What to call Fa Xiao is not a big problem, but what to call Fa Xiao’s wife is a bit of a headache.

It's definitely not possible to call the elders by their first names. No junior would call their elders by their first names. It's inappropriate to call his sister-in-law according to his seniority. It's also not appropriate to call him Aunt Atai, because then he would have to call Deng Yuntai Uncle Atai instead of Atai.

So after much deliberation, Deng Changyuan simply called her Aunt A Ping.

"Ahua's parents are very good to her, especially her mother who treats the four siblings equally and doesn't favor her son at all."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiuping couldn't help but feel a little envious. Her parents were far inferior to Ahua's parents in this regard. Even though she was the only daughter in the family, she was not as favored as her four brothers.

This was also the main reason why her parents "sold" her for a high price and planned to use her wealth to marry her two younger brothers. If she was not lucky enough to marry into the Deng family, but married into another family, then she would probably be Don't ever think about raising your head as a human being in your husband's family for the rest of your life.

"So her parents' criteria for finding a partner for her is not to find a rich family, but to find someone who can truly love her and not let her be wronged. If you can do this, then this marriage is likely to happen It’s no problem.”

When Deng Changyuan heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said, "I promise I can do this."

Zhang Xiuping smiled and said: "I heard this. If Ahua marries you and you can't do what you said, then I will let Brother Tai take care of you."

Deng Changyuan smiled bitterly and said, "How dare I? If I can't do it, even Jiu Gong won't be able to spare me."

Zhang Xiuping couldn't help laughing and said: "It's good that you know."

Deng Yunzhen also smiled and interjected: "That's because my dad worked so hard for you and said all kinds of nice things to help you get your wife back. If you don't treat her well by then, my dad will forgive you." You’re the weird one!”

Deng Changyuan wailed: "It's over. She hasn't even gotten married yet, but she already has so many supporters. If this happens, I'm afraid my husband will never be able to survive in the future!"

Deng Yuntai scolded him and said, "You can also find a little daughter-in-law who will make your husband stand out. You say one thing but she dare not say the other."

Deng Changyuan touched the back of his head and said cowardly: "Forget it, I still want this..."

While a few people were chatting, Deng Shirong came back on his bicycle.

"dad!"

"Jiu Gong!"

His daughter-in-law and Deng Changyuan all greeted Deng Shirong one after another.

Deng Shirong responded with a smile and parked the bicycle.

Deng Yunzhen asked: "Dad, why did you come back so late?"

Deng Shirong said: "I went to the mountain pass, so I came back late."

Zhang Xiuping asked: "Dad, have you eaten?"

"I haven't eaten yet!"

With that said, Deng Shirong handed the big net bag in his hand to his eldest daughter and said with a smile: "These are the oysters I bought at Yamaguchi. Zhen, please take them first and clean them with a brush."

After hearing this, everyone looked at the big net bag and saw pieces of corroded stone inside.

Deng Yuntai asked curiously: "Dad, this stone-like thing is called an oyster? What are these oysters used for?"

Deng Shirong did not laugh at his eldest son's ignorance. Even though they were only a few dozen kilometers away from the seaside, in an era when transportation was inconvenient and people had to walk on two legs, the people in their Bangjie brigade really knew a lot about seafood. limited.

In his previous life, Deng Shirong also didn't know what oysters were in this era. Not to mention that he had never seen them, he had never heard of them.

It was not until the 1990s that Deng Shirong saw oysters for the first time.

Therefore, upon hearing his eldest son's inquiry, Deng Shirong explained: "Oysters are a kind of shellfish and they taste quite good. I will bake them for you to try later."

Hearing that this stone-like thing was edible seafood, everyone couldn't help but curiously gathered around to look at it. Even Deng Changyuan put aside his wife's affairs for the time being.

Zhang Xiuping glanced at the oysters in her net bag, then turned back to her father-in-law and said, "Dad, you haven't eaten at this late hour, and you've ridden such a long way. I'm afraid you're already hungry. I'll heat it up for you." Dish, you should eat some rice pad first, and then grill that oyster!”

Deng Shirong shook his head and said: "No, I just had lunch at about two o'clock in the afternoon, and I was quite full. I don't feel very hungry now. I might as well wait until I get these grilled oysters out before eating again."

"Then I'll get you a bowl of rice soup to drink."

"All right!"

After drinking the drink poured by his eldest daughter-in-law, Deng Shirong ordered his eldest son to prepare chopped green onions and minced garlic, and asked A Yuan to put some charcoal in the fire pot and light it, while he found the leftover wire used in building the house and made some. Made a simple barbecue grill.

After everything was done, the eldest daughter also refreshed and washed all the oysters.

"Yuntai, Ayuan, you two are responsible for prying open the hard shell of this oyster. I will show you the specific method." As he said that, Deng Shirong took a screwdriver and inserted it into the oyster's slit, and then pried it with a little force. , and pry open the hard shell of the oyster.

Zhang Xiuping looked at the pried open oyster meat and said, "Is this oyster meat? It looks so ugly, but I didn't expect the meat to look quite white."

Deng Shirong handed the screwdriver in his hand to his eldest son and said to his eldest daughter-in-law: "These oysters are very nutritious, but you can't eat too much at one time. You can try them when I bake them. If you like them, I will go there from time to time." Yamaguchi will buy some for you to eat."

Zhang Xiuping smiled and said: "Dad, just try this. The mountain pass is so far away. It takes several hours to go back and forth at a time. It's not necessary for this stutter."
