Chapter 66: Father-in-law and Comrade-in-arms

 After breakfast, Zhang’s mother saw her daughter-in-law yawning from time to time, so she couldn’t help but glare at her son, and then asked her to go back to the room to sleep.

The time to return home varies from place to place. Here, they have to return home on the third day from the wedding day, so Zhang Ze went to the county in the afternoon and bought some candies, meat and other odds and ends.

A bunch of stuff.

Mother Zhang even tied up the old hen that Zhang Qinghe sent and asked them to deliver it tomorrow.

Zhang Ze can make money now, and the old hen doesn't make her so reluctant to part with it.

He did not bully his wife again tonight. The injury has not healed yet and he needs to take it easy. Otherwise, he will not be able to face his father-in-law and mother-in-law when he walks back home tomorrow.

On the other hand, Tong Shuyao was like a little girl in love, curled up in his arms and sleeping, and she didn't feel hot even in the summer.

Well, because of his body like a heater in winter and like a mat in summer, it is impossible for this wife to leave his arms all year round.

I woke up naturally after a good sleep. I got up very early today because I had to go home.

All the big and small bags are placed on the bicycle, and the bicycle will continue to be used on the island today.

Carrying his wife, Zhang Ze rode all the way to the county seat.

When they saw Tong Yuanhang at the pier, both of them were a little surprised.

"Ahang, why are you here?"

"I knew you were going back home, so Mom specially asked me to come and pick you up." Tong Yuanhang looked at his sister, who looked very good, and said with a smile.

"Mom is interested!" Zhang Ze sighed with emotion.

Sure enough, if you choose the right person, your life will change a lot. How could he have been treated like this in his previous life? He always disliked this or that.

Load your things and bikes onto the boat and set off.

"Aze, shall we continue fishing tomorrow?" Tomorrow will be the time to sell fish again, but my brother-in-law and sister are newly married and don't know if they are willing to go fishing, so Tong Yuanhang asked specifically.

"Of course, I have to make money to support your sister. How could I not go?"

In one sentence, Tong Shuyao, who looked back at them, felt a little embarrassed and turned her head away from them.

Tong Yuanhang grinned: "Then you have to take good care of her. My sister is raised so well by my parents. If I see her losing weight in the future, I will cause trouble for you."

Zhang Ze patted his chest: "Easy to say, don't worry, uncle, I promise to raise your sister to be fat and white."

Tong Shuyao refused: "Who wants to be fat? Brother, please take care of your sister-in-law first!"

"Hahaha..."

An hour later, when I arrived at Tong's house, Zhang Ze handed over the gift immediately.

Lu Man was satisfied when she saw the gift from her son-in-law. She didn't care about the quantity of the things, but she cared about whether her daughter would be valued in her new home.

Zhang Ze sat down and chatted with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, while his sisters-in-law were busy with lunch, and Tong Shuyao also joined him.

But before lunch, the Tong family had an unexpected visitor.

The person who came was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, standing upright, and holding a little girl who looked about five or six years old.

"Guisheng, long time no see. How are you doing?"

Tong Guisheng stood up in surprise and immediately greeted him: "Xuan Guo, why are you here?"

Lu Xuanguo smiled and said: "I wanted to retire and enjoy a happy life when I got older, but the organization needed it and arranged me to work at the Wenshui City Fisheries Station. I thought you lived on Lumen Island, so I stopped by to see you."

Then he said to the little girl next to him: "Lulu, call me Grandpa Tong."

"Grandpa Tong." The little girl called out obediently.

Tong Guisheng responded immediately, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect your granddaughter to be so old."

Lu Xuanguo smiled bitterly when he heard this, but seeing that there were so many people in the Tong family, it was hard to talk about some things, so he changed the topic: "Your family is prosperous, but this young man is quite unfamiliar."

Tong Guisheng smiled heartily, then pulled Zhang Ze and started to introduce: "Haha, my son-in-law is bringing Shuyao back today. When Aze comes, his name is Uncle Lu."

"Uncle Lu!" Zhang Ze greeted politely.

He knew that Tong Guisheng chose to retire because of Lu Man's family.

I just didn’t expect that after so many years, I still have good old comrades in arms.

When Lu Xuanguo heard that Zhang Ze was the son-in-law of the Tong family, the surprise on his face flashed away, but he reacted quickly and immediately smiled and nodded, accepting the title.

Zhang Ze did not interrupt the gathering of the two old comrades and went over to help his wife with work.

Tong Guisheng naturally noticed the change in the expression of his old comrade, so he asked his mother-in-law to take the little girl named Lulu and his comrades into the house.

Time soon came to noon. Lu Xuanguo did not stay for dinner and left before lunch.

Today, the Tong family's daughter and son-in-law came home, and he was embarrassed to stay.

After lunch, Zhang Ze wanted to walk around the island with his wife. After all, he had never been to many places on the island, and he also wanted to know about the place where his wife had lived since she was a child.

But before he walked out of the door, he was stopped by Tong Guisheng: "Aze, come here, I have something to tell you."

"Okay!" Zhang Ze didn't know why, but since his father-in-law called him, he would definitely go there obediently.

Coming to the room, Tong Guisheng pondered for a moment, and then said: "Aze, your sister should be eighteen this year, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Ze immediately understood what he meant and nodded: "She will be nineteen after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"It's like this. My brother-in-arms just now has a son stationed on Nanping Island. He came here this time actually to ask me if I have a suitable girl to be a matchmaker for his son..."

When Tong Guisheng said this, Zhang Ze naturally understood everything.

"Dad, do you want Aqian to go on a blind date? I just heard that your old comrade was assigned to work at the aquatic product station. The conditions should be good. How could..."

He didn't finish his words, but Tong Guisheng understood what he meant.

With such good conditions, why would you be willing to find a rural girl?

"His son is already twenty-six years old and has a daughter."

"Second marriage?"

Tong Guisheng shook his head and said slowly.

"That's not true. My comrade's son's name is Lu Xiuyuan. Something happened before. A comrade with whom he had a close relationship died. It happened that his wife died in childbirth, leaving only a daughter."

"The girl had no grandparents and had to be sent to an orphanage. The kid Xiuyuan couldn't bear it, so he finally adopted the child."

"No, it's hard to get married if there's a dragster in the family. After dating for several years, the woman dislikes him for bringing a dragster, and he has to go to Nanping Island to suffer. No one is willing."

"I'm just asking, if you think it's okay, let the two children go on a blind date to see if they can see each other. If they don't want to, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Zhang Ze hesitated after hearing this. He has a natural affinity for soldiers.

It's just not easy to be a military wife. Not only do you have to live on an island where material is scarce, but you also have to stay alone in an empty room from time to time.

There is even an eventuality, and she will become a widow directly. Not to mention that the other party also has an adopted child. Whether they can get along well is a problem.

Even if the girl is not the man’s biological child, she will still be a stepmother after marriage.

But on the other hand, the other party's conditions are actually very good. If I'm lucky, my sister won't have to worry about food, clothing, housing, transportation and other aspects for the rest of her life.

"Dad, let's do this. I'll ask Aqian to see what she wants. You can also ask their family if they are willing to accept a child from a rural family. If they are willing, let them go on a blind date and see if there is any problem.

If you don’t want to, then just pretend it never happened.”

Zhang Ze was actually quite distressed when he said this.

He was born in a family, and it is really not easy to find a good husband and family for his sister in this era.

Especially a man's character is not so easy to see. Even if his conditions improve in the future and he can find a family with good conditions for his sister, there is no guarantee that the man will always treat his sister well.

But the situation is different for soldiers. There is basically nothing to say about their quality.
