Chapter 41: The Deng Family

The next day, the weather was fine, and at 10 o'clock at noon, the little couple knocked on the door.

"Uncle, aunt."

"Mom, Dad!"

Zhang Mu bowed deeply to Deng Jie's parents, and Deng Jie slid away from Zhang Mu like a little loach, ran over, and grabbed her mother's hand.

Father Deng laughed and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Xiao Mu!" Quick, come in, come in. He turned to look at Deng Jie, with a slight reproach in his words: "It's really a big girl!" I thought you would never come back! ”

Deng Jie pursed her lips and said, "How can there be!" Didn't I come back today? Mom, did you miss me! ”

Mother Deng complained: "I've been talking to your dad for the past two days, but I didn't expect that I really brought you back, come, go into the house with your mother to chat, Xiao Mu, you can sit casually!" ”

"Thank you, auntie." Zhang Mu smiled and sat on the sofa accompanied by Father Deng.

"Uncle, this is what Xiaojie and I bought casually in the supermarket, because I don't know what kind of cigarettes you like to smoke and drink, so..."

Father Deng looked at the gift in the bag and exclaimed: "Xiao Mu, this is a brand-name cosmetics, how much does it cost?" Also, these cigarettes and alcohol are also expensive, can you stinky boy make a fortune? Won the lottery? ”

Zhang Mu scratched his head and laughed embarrassedly: "It's not a fortune, I made some pocket money, as long as my uncle likes it." ”

Father Deng shook his head and pushed the gift aside: "What do you think this is, is it worth such a little thing for my precious daughter?" ”

"It's... Uncle, I, I didn't mean that, these gifts are ......" Zhang Mu was clumsy for a while, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"Hahaha! Silly boy! It's really funny! Father Deng laughed and said, "the kid, come out quickly!" ”

"What?" Mother Deng pushed open the door and asked.

"Hurry up and buy vegetables and cook, what 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?"

Deng Jie's living conditions are worse than Zhang Mu's family, his parents are double laid-off workers, and he only has a pension of less than 2,000 yuan per month, it is because of such family conditions that Deng Jie has been cultivated to be such a sensible girl, since high school, Deng Jie began to work as a part-time worker in 'KFC' or 'McDonald's', and immediately went to find a job as soon as he graduated.

"Don't be wordy, hurry up and buy groceries! Ask people what Xiao Mu likes to eat! "Father Deng is the quintessential machismo.

Zhang Mu hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't be so troublesome, we'll go back later..."

Father Deng said angrily: "What? No, you can't go home until you finish lunch! You bastard boy, what do you think of this place! At noon, let's have a good drink! "Father Deng has a nickname called 'Wine Fairy', legend has it that he can drink three catties of liquor without changing his face, this kind of alcohol is practiced by drinking 'Red Star Erguotou', and his strength is quite strong, of course, Zhang Mu doesn't know this.

"Since my uncle has warmly invited, then Xiao Mu might as well be respectful, hehe." Zhang Mu grinned, and Father Deng patted him on the shoulder: "This is good!" Xiaojie, go grocery shopping with your mother, you haven't been at home for the past two days, your mother is going to annoy me to death! ”

"Humph! Dad! I hate you, bullying mom all day long! Deng Jie said mournfully: "Mom, don't have such a good temper!" ”

Mother Deng took her daughter's hand and said with a smile: "Don't nag nonsense, let's go, let's buy vegetables for these two men!" ”

"This girl!"

After the mother and daughter of the Deng family left, Deng's father has been chatting 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 just such a precious daughter as Deng Jie, and I'm in your hands, you have to take good care of her, and don't let her suffer the slightest grievance, you know?"

"Uncle, don't worry, I will never bully her! She won't let others bully her! Zhang Mu nodded heavily, a well-behaved girl like Deng Jie, he didn't have time to hurt, how could he be willing to bully? Now he's not the bastard kid he used to be.

"Xiaojie's surname is relatively weak, and she is an honest child. Such a person may not have much to do in her career, but I can guarantee that she will definitely be a good wife and mother in the future! So, hehe, it's not my old Deng boasting, you kid has picked up a treasure! ”

Zhang Mu smiled: "It's my honor to be with Xiaojie. ”

"It's not!" Father Deng shook his head: "You are also a good boy!" You two are the most right! You are not allowed to demean yourself, you know? A man must be manly! Don't be afraid of being poor, the most important thing is to have backbone! However, I see you like this, it seems that you are more chic than anyone else, what kind of career are you busy with? ”

"No, just a little money in the game, oh yes!" Zhang Mu handed 5,000 yuan to Father Deng and said, "Uncle, this is Xiaojie's living expenses for the second elder." ”

"So much money? I can't take it! Father Deng shook his head: "Our family is not short of money. ”

"Oh, uncle, don't shirk it. I will give my parents living expenses every month at home, and I say that I will treat them equally, didn't Xiaojie also give it when she worked in the hotel before? You have raised us for more than 20 years, and now we have the ability, and filial piety to our parents is right. ”

Father Deng shook his head again and again: "Then this is too much, cut it by half, cut it by half." ”

Zhang Mu smiled and pushed the money into Father Deng's hand: "Uncle, take it!" If you don't accept me, I'll leave! You don't think of Xiao Mu as your own family at all! ”

Father Deng hesitated for a long time, and finally pushed the money aside generously: "Okay, since you say so, I will accept this money, but next time you come back and buy gifts, I will take you out with a stick!" ”

"Haha, got it!"

At this time, there was a sound of the door opening outside, and the mother and daughter of the Deng family walked in with a vegetable basket with a smile.

The mother and daughter of the Deng family have good skills in cooking with one hand, and about a little time, six dishes and one soup are placed on the table, all of which are really home-cooked stir-fry, which is quite comfortable to eat.

But what Zhang Mu couldn't stand the most was Father Deng's hard work of forcing alcohol, which was simply superb, which made Zhang Mu, a junior at that time, deeply understand the essence of 'eating, drinking, and playing with life'. In the end, even Deng Jie, an honest girl, couldn't look at it, and almost jumped on the wine table, so Father Deng gave up.

At 1 p.m., leave Deng's house.

Zhang Mu walked into the community with Deng Jie's support, and Uncle Su, who was sitting in the corner of the park and setting up a chess stall, said with concern: "Yo, isn't this the Zhang family boy and the Deng family's daughter, what's wrong?" Xiao Zhang is sick? ”

"No, I drank too much..."Zhang Mu smiled bitterly and waved his hand, and spit it out again.

The aunt of the neighborhood committee who manages the community came over with a cold face and reprimanded: "You kid, why do you spit, you will be fined 5 yuan!" ”

Little couple: "......"
