at the same time.

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

As early as last month, Deng Shirong came over to say hello and set a date for the house inspection. After some discussions, the Zhang family initially determined the candidates for the house inspection, namely the fourth aunt, the seventh aunt, the third aunt, the younger aunt, the younger aunt, and the older cousin. (from my aunt's family), Sister-in-law Zhang, Second Sister-in-law Zhang, and Zhang Xiuping's two little sisters Ou Guofang and Ou Guohua.

The Zhang family also carefully considered these candidates.

In this era, when a woman goes to her husband's house to look after the house, everyone who goes with her will get red envelopes and five flavors back. Therefore, the woman must tell the man in advance how many people are going to be there so that he can make arrangements for it. Prepare.

The Zhang family's initial selection of housekeepers was to hire one from each of Zhang's father's and Zhang's mother's relatives, so there were six people. Counting Zhang Xiuping's eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and two little sisters, there were exactly ten people. personal.

According to the customs in the Shuangwang realm, the woman's parents will not come whether it is to look after the house or serve wedding wine.

Ten people accompanied the heroine to see the house. This number was neither too many nor too few, so it was considered a satisfactory number.

Zhang's mother said: "Tomorrow, Uncle Jiu will make the final announcement. Do you have anything to add to the list of candidates for the family?"

Zhang Xiuping thought for a while and said: "Mom, now 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 the eleven of us are all lesbians. Why don’t you take Xiaojun and Xiaoshan with you?”

When Zhang Shoujun heard what his sister said, his eyes couldn't help but light up. He looked at his parents and said, "Dad, Mom, my sister is right. Although most of the housekeepers are lesbians, there can't be no men. I think It’s quite suitable for me to go with Xiao Shan.”

Zhang Shoushan nodded quickly when he heard this and said, "Dad, Mom, I want to go too."

Father Zhang was sitting next to him, smoking a hookah. As a grown man, he never got involved in this kind of thing, so he just let his wife handle it.

Mother Zhang pondered for a moment and said: "Originally, it was normal for brothers and sisters to go with the groom's house to look after the house, but she was afraid that if there were too many people there, people around her would gossip, so she didn't include you two. However, What your sister said makes sense, it’s not good if you don’t have a man with you, so let’s count the two of you!”

Brothers Zhang Shoujun and Zhang Shoushan were all excited when they heard this.

Both brothers knew that the financial conditions of their future brother-in-law's family were very good and the house was built very grandly. On the one hand, they wanted to follow the past to broaden their horizons, and on the other hand, they did not want to miss the red envelope they received from looking at the house.

Based on the future brother-in-law's family background, the amount of the red envelope should be at least two or three yuan, and it would not be surprising if the amount was even five yuan. For them with empty pockets, it is a "huge" wealth, and it is certainly worth it. They were happy.

Seeing that her mother-in-law had decided on the candidate, Sister-in-law Zhang said: "Mom, do you want to inform the third aunt, the aunt and the eldest cousin again tomorrow?"

Mother Zhang nodded and said, "I want to inform you, but I have to wait until Uncle Jiu comes over to make the final decision before I inform you."

Second Sister-in-law Zhang said: "It's a long way from our place to Naye Village. It takes three or four hours to walk. When I inform my third aunt, my aunt, and my eldest cousin tomorrow, I'll ask them to stay at our house for one night and wait until dawn." You can set off together after breakfast, which saves a lot of time. ”

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

…

October 15th.

After having 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 candy biscuits from the supply and marketing cooperative, he went to Zhang's house in Poxin Village by familiar means.

Last time, Deng Shirong brought a few kilograms of pork butt meat and a few kilograms of pork belly, which caused quite a stir in Poxin Village. However, such scarce things as meat cannot be given away like this all the time, as that would whet the appetite of the other party. Only once in a while can you achieve the best results.

Of course, you can’t come empty-handed, as that would be too rude, so it’s appropriate to bring a big bag of candy cookies.

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

"Uncle Nine!"

"Uncle Jiu, burn some smoke!"

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

"Uncle Nine..."

The Zhang family received Deng Shirong with great enthusiasm, with those holding chimneys holding chimneys and those carrying water. Their attitude was no less than that of welcoming a new uncle.

After some polite remarks, Deng Shirong said: "Relatives, I came here today mainly to make final confirmations with you, and come to my house tomorrow to look after the house."

Zhang's mother said politely: "Uncle Jiu, you are so polite. Just find someone to send you a message. Why don't you come all the way to inform me?"

"It's not hard. I rode here in just over an hour. How many of you are coming to check on the house tomorrow? Are you sure?"

"It's confirmed. Counting my sister A Ping, there are thirteen people in total."

"Okay, I get it!"

…

After talking about the business, Deng Shirong left immediately despite the Zhang family's repeated requests to stay.

It's not that his time is really so tight, the main reason is that he doesn't want to cause trouble to others, because if he stays for dinner, the Zhang family will definitely have to prepare a table of decent dishes to entertain him, which is indeed too much trouble.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has no expectations at all for the cooking skills of this prospective in-law...

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

This time was the peak of the Wei market. Deng Shirong ate a bowl of noodles at the noodle stall, and then bought some ingredients that he would need for housekeeping tomorrow. After looking around for a while, he didn't see his eldest son Deng Yuntai, so he rode back. .

…

Cylinder Tile Factory.

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

Making a big tank is different from other things. This thing is connected up one by one. Before the big tank is ready, you can't rest if you want. Unless you don't care about the previous work being in vain, then it doesn't matter.

Although Deng Yuntai already knew that the woman would come to visit the house tomorrow, the weather had delayed the batch of tanks he made for two days. He still had to complete some finishing work today before he could truly be free.

While Deng Yuntai was busy finishing the work, his childhood friend Deng Changyuan was studying and chatting with him. Naturally, the content of the chat was about looking after the house tomorrow.

Deng Changyuan asked: "Artai, the woman is coming to visit our house tomorrow. To be honest, are you nervous now?"

Deng Yuntai rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense, I haven't even seen anyone, I just visited the house. Are you nervous?"

Deng Changyuan said with a smile: "Other people will make acquaintance before looking at the house, but your father was the one who asked you to be the matchmaker, so he directly skipped the acquaintance step. But I heard from your two sisters, you This person is very beautiful, just enjoy it!"

After Deng Yuntai finished the finishing work on the big tank in his hand, he looked at Fa Xiao and said: "Ah Yuan, I heard my sister say a lot ago that my partner also has two sisters. I don't know what her two little sisters will be tomorrow. I won’t follow him, but if he does, you have to keep an eye on him. If you like him, let my dad help you match him up. Maybe your marriage will be settled as well!”

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