Chapter 41 The Deng Family
The next day, it was sunny. At 10 o'clock at noon, the little couple knocked on the door.
"Ancle, aunt."
"Dad, Mom!"
Zhang Mu bowed deeply to Deng Jie's parents. Deng Jie slid away from Zhang Mu like a little loach, ran over and grabbed her mother's hand.
Deng's father laughed and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Xiao Mu! Come on, come in." He turned to look at Deng Jie, with some slight blame in his words: "It's really a woman's fault! I thought you would never come back!"
Deng Jie pouted and said, "No! Didn't I come back today! Mom, do you miss me?"
Deng's mother complained, "I've been talking to your father for the past two days. Unexpectedly, I really talked about you back. Come on, go into the room and chat with your mother. Xiao Mu, you can sit down!"
"Thank you, aunt." Zhang Mu smiled and sat on the sofa accompanied by Deng's father.
"Father, this is what I bought casually in the supermarket with Xiaojie, because I don't know what kind of cigarettes you like to smoke and what kind of wine you drink, so..." Zhang Mu brought the cosmetics he bought and a large plastic bag of tobacco and alcohol to the table.
Deng's father looked at the gift in the bag and said, "Xiao Mu, this is a famous brand cosmetics. How much does it cost? In addition, these cigarettes and alcohol are also very expensive. Can you get rich? Did you win the lottery?
Zhang Mu scratched his head and smiled shyly: "It's not a fortune. I earned some pocket money, as long as my uncle likes it."
Deng's father shook his head and pushed the gift aside: "What do you think this is? Is my precious daughter worth something?"
"This... uncle, I, I don't mean that. These gifts are..." Zhang Mu was clumsy for a moment, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
"Hahaha! Stupid boy! It's not funny!" Deng's father laughed and said, "Child's mother, come out!"
"What are you doing?" Deng's mother opened the door and asked.
"Hurry up and buy vegetables and cook. What else are you doing! Look at the cosmetics that Xiao Mu bought for you.
"Oh, Xiao Mu, why are you so polite when you come to your aunt's house?"
The living conditions of Deng Jie's family are worse than that of Zhang Mu's family. Her parents are double laid-off workers, with a pension of less than 2,000 yuan a month. It is because of such family conditions that such a sensible girl as Deng Jie has been cultivated. Since she went to high school, Deng Jie has been working part-time in 'KFC' or 'McDonald'.' As soon as he graduated, he immediately went to find a job. Compared with Deng Jie, Zhang Mu was lucky.
"Don't talk, hurry up and buy vegetables! Ask Xiao Mu what he likes to eat!" Deng's father is a typical male chauvinist.
Zhang Mu quickly waved his hand: "Don't be so troublesome. We'll be back later..."
Deng's father said angrily, "What? No, you are not allowed to go home after lunch! You bastard, what do you think this is? Let's have a good drink at noon!" Deng's father has a nickname called 'Wine Fairy'. It is said that he can drink three catties of liquor without changing his face. This kind of wine is practiced by drinking 'Red Star Erguotou', and his strength is quite strong. Of course, Zhang Mu doesn't know this.
"Since my uncle's kind invitation, it's better for Xiao Mu to obey than to be respectful, hehe." Zhang Mu grinned and smiled. Deng's father patted him on the shoulder: "This is a good thing! Xiaojie, go grocery shopping with your mother. If you are not at home these two days, your mother will annoy me to death!"
"Humph! Dad! I hate you and bully my mother all day long!" Deng Jie said in a lament, "Mom, don't have such a good temper!"
Deng's mother took her daughter's hand and said with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense. Let's go and buy vegetables for these two men!"
"This girl!"
After the mother and daughter of the Deng family left, Deng's father has been chattering with Zhang Mu. Although Deng's father has a bad temper, he is still more reasonable, and the neighbors have a good reputation for him.
"Xiao Mu, I'm a precious daughter like Deng Jie. If you give it to you, you have to take good care of her and don't let her suffer any grievances, okay?"
"Uncle, don't worry, I will never bully her! I won't let others bully her!" Zhang Mu nodded heavily. It's too late for a well-behaved girl like Deng Jie. How can he be willing to bully her? Now he is no longer the bastard he used to be.
"Xiao Jie's surname is relatively weak, and she is an honest child. Such a person may not have done much in her career, but I can guarantee that she will be a good wife and mother in the future! So, hey hey, it's not my old Deng boasting that you have picked up the treasure!"
Zhang Mu smiled and said, "It's my honor to be with Xiaojie."
"No!" Father Deng shook his head: "You are also a good boy! You two are the best! Don't belittle yourself, you know? A man should be like a man! Don't be afraid of poverty, the most important thing is to have backbone! However, I think you are more chic than anyone else. What kind of career are you busy with?
"Nothing, I just made a little money in the game. Oh, that's right!" Zhang Mu handed 5,000 yuan to Deng's father and said, "Father, this is Xiaojie's living expenses for the two elders."
"So much money? I can't accept it!" Deng's father shook his head: "Our family is not short of money."
"Oh, uncle, don't shive it. I pay my parents living expenses at home every month. They all say that they should be treated equally. Didn't Xiaojie also pay it when she worked in a hotel? You have raised us for more than 20 years, and now we have the ability. It is right to be filial to our parents.
Deng's father shook his head repeatedly: "That's too much. Cut it in half, cut it in half."
Zhang Mu smiled and pushed the money into Deng's father's hand: "Euncle, take it! If you don't accept it, I'll leave! You don't regard Xiao Mu as your own family at all!"
Deng's father hesitated for a long time, and finally pushed the money aside generously: "Okay, since you say so, I'll take the money, but next time you come back and buy a gift, I'll kick you out with a stick!"
"Haha, I got it!"
At this time, there was a sound of opening the door outside, and the mother and daughter of the Deng family walked in with a vegetable basket with a smile.
Deng's mother and daughter have good cooking skills. In about an hour, six dishes and one soup are placed on the table. They are all real home-cooked stir-fry, which is quite comfortable to eat.
But what Zhang Mu couldn't stand most was Deng's father's forced drinking kung fu, which was simply fascinating, which made Zhang Mu, a junior, deeply understand the essence of 'eating, drinking and playing with life'. In the end, even Deng Jie, an honest girl, couldn't stand it and almost jumped on the wine table. Deng's father gave up.
Leave Deng's house at 1 p.m.
Zhang Mu walked into the community with the help of Deng Jie. Uncle Su, who was sitting in the corner of the park and setting up a chess stall, said with concern, "Oh, isn't this the boy of the Zhang family and the daughter of the Deng family? What's wrong? Xiao Zhang is ill?
"NO, I drank too much..." Zhang Mu waved his hand with a wry smile and vomited again.
The aunt of the neighborhood committee who manages the community came over with a cold face and scolded, "You child, how can you spit everywhere? You will be fined 5 yuan!"
Little couple: "..."
