Fish soup, steamed oysters and scallops, plus a stir-fried green vegetable, today’s dinner is considered very “cheap” in the eyes of others.

It was rare for the Zhang family's door to be left open, so Zhang Ze brought the final dipping sauce to the table without fear of others seeing it.

"Come, eat, eat!"

The whole family looked at the scallops and oysters curiously, and finally drank the fish soup and ate the fish.

After all, this fish soup is milky white and has a rich aroma of oil. It tastes delicious at first sight.

Zhang Huihong took a sip of the soup first, but with just this sip, she showed an expression of surprise: "Aze, this sea fish soup tastes so good?"

At that time, she saw Zhang Ze making fish soup. Except for pouring a little too much oil, he only added a little salt and sugar, plus ginger and finally chopped green onion.

The pot of fish soup made in such a simple way not only had no fishy smell, but was also very fresh, which really surprised her.

"The main reason is that the fish is good. The sea bream itself is smooth and tender, and there is basically no fishy smell after draining the blood. Chefs in state-owned restaurants all do this, so the fish they cook is also very delicious."

"Unlike in our rural areas, if you cook some seafood directly, who can stand the fishy smell!"

Zhang Ze said that he also took a sip of the fish soup. It tasted okay. Unfortunately, there were too many missing items, including no seafood mushrooms, tofu, and no pepper.

However, Zhang Wu and the others were praised for their food. They had discovered a new world today. It turns out that sea fish can be made so delicious.

So they also became curious about the oysters and scallops that they were originally indifferent to, wondering if these things were also delicious.

Zhang Wu immediately picked up an oyster, picked up the full oyster meat inside with chopsticks, and put it directly into his mouth.

As soon as he took a bite, his little face immediately wrinkled up and he immediately spit the oyster meat into the bowl.

"Bah, bah, bah, bro, your oysters don't taste good at all."

"Who told you that it's not delicious? It's not normal for steamed oysters to be tasteless. I specially made a dipping sauce here." Zhang Ze also picked up one with a smile, picked up the oyster meat and dipped it in the sauce.

Then put it in your mouth.

The texture is a bit like braised pork, soft with a little chewy texture, tender and juicy, and slightly milky.

Seeing this, Zhang Wu picked up the oyster meat again and dipped it in the sauce. After eating it again, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey, it tastes delicious all of a sudden."

When the two sisters Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing heard their brother say it was delicious, they also tasted it.

However, they thought the oysters were just average, but the scallops were quite delicious, especially chewy, just like eating meat.

In some places, people also eat scallop offal, but Zhang Ze didn't like it, so he took it out.

Several others thought they couldn't eat it, so they all followed suit.

The family was very satisfied with the meal. No one in the family could have imagined that these humble things taste so good.

Zhang Wu even shouted that he would go to the beach tomorrow to pick up more scallops and oysters. However, Zhang Huihong and Zhang Ze were going to Lumen Island tomorrow, so they were told to stay at home and not run around.

......

The next morning, Tong Shuyao faintly heard voices at her door. When she went out and saw someone coming, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Zhang Ze was standing next to Zhang Huihong and showed a gentle smile when he saw her coming out.

Facing his smile and eyes, Tong Shuyao felt inexplicably nervous and shy, because she knew the purpose of this man coming here today.

Then she looked away and looked at the middle-aged woman next to the man, her future mother-in-law.

Dressed simply, with her hair tied back, her facial features are soft and she doesn’t look fierce.

At first glance, Tong Shuyao wondered if Zhang Ze had lied to herself. This future mother-in-law didn't look like a bad woman at all?

But when the other party looked at her, she subconsciously showed a shy smile.

"Hey, this kid is Shuyao, she is really good-looking." When she met her future daughter-in-law for the first time, Zhang Huihong also fell in love with this fair and fair little girl at the first sight.

"Hello, aunt!" Tong Shuyao called politely, and Tong Guisheng and Lu Man quickly greeted them in.

Both parties took their seats.

Zhang Huihong actually took a look at the Tong family when she walked in. The Tong family's house is quite big, and their son, daughter-in-law, and unmarried little daughter all live together.

However, the house is very clean and looks very cozy.

The Tong family and his wife have clear eyes, and they are polite and courteous to them. The daughters-in-law are quick to do things, can handle all kinds of things, and speak generously to their elders. It is obvious that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very good.

There are a lot of little kids in the house, but they don’t make any noise when guests come. They all stay quietly with their parents. The family tradition is quite good.

Zhang Huihong is quite satisfied. Although they are a family on the island, the fact that the family can live a prosperous life must be because they are in the same place.

Children educated in this kind of family will not have a bad temper and personality, and will be easier to get along with.

Zhang Huihong has experienced the kind of treatment from her husband's family, and what she hopes most is that her family can live in peace and harmony.

Now it seems that my son has a good taste, and he is also grateful to Mrs. Wang and Er Gouzi. If Er Gouzi hadn't come to the island for a blind date, how could his son have met this good girl?

It's almost noon now, and several daughters-in-law of the Tong family are busy in the kitchen, preparing a sumptuous lunch.

In addition, Zhang Huihong was getting to know the situation further with the Tong family, and then took advantage of the situation and proposed the idea of ​​​​getting their two children married as soon as possible.

In this era, marriage is so straightforward. Once a man and a woman are satisfied with each other, and their parents are satisfied after meeting and getting to know each other, the marriage can be settled directly.

Even if the certificate is obtained late, it will still be within half a year. Basically, the woman will be married within a few months.

For people like Zhang Ze who want to get married next month, although they are a little anxious, it is normal.

Regarding the betrothal gift, Zhang Huihong gave a figure of two hundred.

Of course, Zhang Ze persuaded her to get this gift.

According to her original plan, the maximum betrothal gift would only be one hundred, and the market gift here on the island would only be fifty.

Zhang Huihong was willing to take more because she didn’t have any furniture prepared.

But when the two discussed it last night, she was finally convinced by her son and gave him the same treatment as the girls in the city.

The Tong family and his wife were shocked when they heard about this betrothal gift. The betrothal gift for her daughters-in-law was only fifty.

However, after they learned that the furniture had not yet been prepared and would have to be added later, they understood why the bride price was so high.

Then they mentally prepared for their daughter to bring all the gifts and prepare part of the dowry.

Whether the bride's bride price will be taken back to her husband's family depends entirely on the woman's parents.

Some of the unsightly ones will be taken away entirely. Under normal circumstances, some will be used to buy some things as dowries for the daughter to take back to her husband's house.

The couple of the Tong family are willing to give a separate dowry because the other party is very sincere. In addition, the three sons will make money with this future brother-in-law, so naturally the relationship cannot be stalemate because of the bride price.

Before lunch, the two families simply discussed the marriage.

There will be a wedding banquet next month, on August 8th.

Zhang Ze and Tong Shuyao still have no way to apply for a marriage certificate. At this time, the man must be 22 years old and the woman must be 20 years old.

Zhang Ze is two years behind, and Tong Shuyao is one year behind, so they still have to wait.

But in this day and age, people in rural areas basically get married immediately after they have agreed to get married. Marriage certificates are issued only after the children have to register for household registration and go to school, so many people are fined.
